Getting prepared for the Hind - Hip or Black Shark?

You didn't say it had a rangefinder. I wasn't trying to contradict you, but to expand on what you said. Employing unguided weapons will be easier in the Hind than it is in the Hip but the ability to estimate range which is pretty mandatory in the Hip to be effective will still be needed in the Hind in certain environments. I think this is a relevant bit of information to anyone deciding which of the existing helos to choose to prepare for the Hind release.

 

All good, no worries. Estimating range will be 'easier' in the Hind even in Manual mode due to the 'Moveable Sight Mark', abundance of manual input available etc.

I have attached a PDF that compiles some of the Info from the DCS Russian language forum with some Hind manual info for anyone interested in a heads-up on the pilot sight.

Edit: Also apologies - this is the part I was referring to when I mentioned 'auto ranging' - Seating method - the range is calculated automatically and continuously based on the radio height and pitch angle (D = h / sin (ϑ)).

A very nice summary of the ASP-17V capabilities, thanks

I went with the Hip and I like it :-)

(Did I mention I had the shark already in the garage)
