Hind Over Latakia Syria

[Phantom88]

W O W !!! Very Excited about both The Hind and The Map,What a Fantastic time it is in DCS World!!;)

[westr]

Love the hind helicopter. Will we get an a.i gunner that will engage targets while we fly in single player?

[Zad Fnark]

This particular variant had the fixed guns, so the Pilot would control those anyway.

[TheGuardian]

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the Hind more of a maneuvering fighting platform, as in it isn't really design to fight while hovering? It could of course, but just not where it's strength lies. If that is the case, I wonder how difficult it will be to fight and fly at the same time. I guess it wouldn't really matter as long as you're multi-crew. I'm a little worried about how this will work in SP while trying to learn this beast.

I do have roughly the same impression, from stuf I've read sometime ago - while the AH-64 Apache could target and shoot its targets from hovering position, the Mi-24 Hind was more "vocated" for hit and run tactics.

Standard doctrine was to use guns and rockets in a running attack and ATGMs from a Hoover or slow flight at ,ax range.

Cool. Learning curve is gonna be sharp with this one i feel.

[Rick50]

But this model, the P, can use ATGM's ??

[Napa]

Are we also getting an RWR?

[epoch]

Multi-crew is planned yes

 

For EA release or later?

 

BIGNEWY can you answer the question fully please? Or at least state that you do not know the answer. I'm sure you don't want to be responsible for providing misleading information, so some clarification would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

We will discuss the full feature set and plans for the Mi-24 closer to pre-order.

 

thank you

[Lucas_From_Hell]

Yes, same one found on the MiG-21bis.

[schurem]

Wow those rocket shots seem almost horizontal, not downwards as you'd expect! What's with that?

[Dragon1-1]

You only see them for a brief time after launch, no smoke after the motor burns out. At that time, they're indeed moving mostly horizontally.

But this model, the P, can use ATGM's ??

 

Of course, like any other Hind. I believe this one will have Shturms, like the V.

[Lucas_From_Hell]

It will be able to use both Shturm and Ataka missiles.

[oreste]

Speaking of the cannon, or rather the two cannons, don't worry they are 30 mm and they do their job well.If you want to read something about ammunition here is a link http://www.russianammo.org/Russian_Ammunition_Page_30mm.html

[FS21-Kramber]

I love this chooper ! 

[kotor633]

I am very happy that the Apache is finally arriving at DCS. BUT: I don't think he has a chance against the icon Mi-24. Awesome video by the way.

@oreste: Thanks for the Link. Ich would read it this evening.

[diveplane]

cant wait for this bird epic.

[Rogue Trooper]

Re-watching Wags fly the hind in Syria just tells me 2 things.

1) I Really am looking forward to the Hind!

2) The Syria map really is superb, I have been spending a lot of air time in DCS Syria and it truly is an excellent map, The DCS engine must be improved to increase performance on this map, especially in VR. Without doubt, Syria is the best map in DCS!  

 

The DCS engine must improve to the level of Normandy, The Channel and Syria.... not down grading the maps to the DCS Engine!

 

God I miss ground shadows in VR!

After upgrading to a 5900X and 6800XT I treated myself to some cockpit shadows, haven't had any for years - looks fancy! 

[Mars Exulte]

I play with shadows at low, always have in VR. The difference between off and low is minimal performance-wise, but higher settings really hit fps but don't make much difference visually.

In the good old days when I flew pancake, I never had cockpit shadows and always exterior shadows.

 

In VR I must and always have had cockpit shadows as they are just superb in VR..... admittedly the low shadow setting is all I can afford. 

But I would love to have ground shadows back too..... oh Vulkan, where are you?
