Slazi Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 I think a lot of mission designers are overestimating the capabilities of the Mi-8. Going up against multiple 23mm AA positions hidden around cities or in trees seems a little unfair. What sort of tasking should the 8 receive? I feel taking out small convoys, troop drops, attacking groups of infantry is a little more realisic.
Cibit Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 SAR, Troop insertion, taxi and CAS. That is what I think. A pintle mounted PKM on the door and rear cargo hold would help against static AAA in that you would not have to fly towards target but I imagine a RL scenario would see the pilot drop to the deck and get the hell out of the area fast i5 8600k@5.2Ghz, Asus Prime A Z370, 32Gb DDR4 3000, GTX1080 SC, Oculus Rift CV1, Modded TM Warthog Modded X52 Collective, Jetseat, W10 Pro 64 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Adding JTAC Guide //My Vid's//229th AHB
Slazi Posted March 28, 2014 Author Posted March 28, 2014 I really love the Mi-8, it is so much fun to fly. I'd love to see more multiplayer missions for it that actually dont have it taking the role of an Ka-50.
Cibit Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Have you tried Mbots anti submarine warfare mission?

Slazi Posted April 1, 2014 Author Posted April 1, 2014 Nope, haven't tried that yet. I tend to use my own missions for multiplayer when possible, but often jump on public servers if I want instant access to other people.
