FlyNate Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 I would like to know when the Mi8 will be finished. It has spent WAY too much time in beta, and many of us would like to see it finished. Please give us the defensive weapons and rear door removal option. I like to tell myself they are working hard on it, but I kee seeing efforts go into other projects while this one remains unfinished. Not to mention the Cobra which was promised almost a year ago, but I keep seeing other projects come out and the Mi8 has yet to be finished. Love the sling load and flare fix, but please give us the defensive weapons at least... Tired of getting shot full of holes and can NOT return fire on LZs. Thanks [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
FlyNate Posted December 29, 2014 Author Posted December 29, 2014 It would be awesome if they worked like the door guns in the Huey... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Socket7 Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 Do MI-8's even have door gunners? I have no idea myself. the MI-8TVK has a nose mounted machine gun, but thats a different aircraft from the MI-8MTV2. Practice makes perfect.
Ce_Zeta Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 Do MI-8's even have door gunners? I have no idea myself. the MI-8TVK has a nose mounted machine gun, but thats a different aircraft from the MI-8MTV2. Nose and aft PKT machine guns. In the manual, we can see in the pictures that the BST internal version have the installation of the nose PKT in the cockpit and the bomb sight OPB-1r. [sIGPIC]http://i.imgur.com/YexElgV.jpg[/sIGPIC]
GunfighterSIX Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 They could mount a PKT's in the nosie or some aircraft had 12.7mm NSV-12,7 or the 30MM AGS-17 Plamya automatic grenade launchers in the door and tail. The cabin windows and cabin door had mounts for up to eight 7.62 pintle-mounted machine guns. The windows could also open to allow soldiers to shoot their AK47's out the cabin windows.

Darkwolf Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Whoaw. Don't ask too much - We are already waiting for the Manual to be finished, and the F-86 manual. :D [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] PC simulator news site. Also....Join the largest DCS community on Facebook :pilotfly:
FlyNate Posted January 4, 2015 Author Posted January 4, 2015 Whoaw. Don't ask too much - We are already waiting for the Manual to be finished, and the F-86 manual. :D I bought Mi-8 WAY back before the F-86 was ever thought of. I say finish one thing and go to the next, or at least make regular improvements and work toward finishing it... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
SilentGun Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 what do you mean by "defensive weapons"? do you just mean door gunners? Link to my Imgur screenshots and motto http://imgur.com/a/Gt7dF One day in DCS... Vipers will fly along side Tomcats... Bugs with Superbugs, Tiffy's with Tornado's, Fulcrums with Flankers and Mirage with Rafales... :)The Future of DCS is a bright one:)
