TheNicePig Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Did the Mi-24P variant ever carried or have the ability to carry these big 8-Ataka racks seen on the Mi-35Ms? Or can you still only carry a maximum of 8 Atakas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuart666 Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 I think that was only an MI35M thing. They cut the winglet down, so it wouldnt be quite as loaded at the wingtip as a Mi24P would be. The most ive seen is twin missile racks on each station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechnology Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 I didn't even know until the module page said it was getting Atakas that a hind could use them lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jun Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Mi-24P carries max 8 Ataka missiles with 2 per station. Mi-35M also carries a maximum of 8 Atakas by the way. They are mounted on only one side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northstar98 Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 As with what Jun said. 4 stations can carry Ataka/Shturm (the outer most ones and the middle ones), each with 2 missiles, for a maximum of 8.

Razorback Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Just to remember, when the Hind will be released in EA, only the Shturm (9K114) should be available. The Ataka (9M120) should be added later.... TBC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northstar98 Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 And in both cases, exactly the same set-up with a maximum of 8.

Dragon1-1 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 That's because of how the control system works. It was explained in detail in one of the weeklies, and the selector dial doesn't go beyond 8. I think the rack was developed for Mi-28, and "back-ported" to Mi-35M. Of course, you are flying lopsided as a result, but it allows you to carry 8 missiles while freeing up the opposite hardpoint.

Of course, you are flying lopsided as a result, but it allows you to carry 8 missiles while freeing up the opposite hardpoint. To be fair, I've never seen a photo where the opposite hardpoint wasn't empty either. Wonder what's the weight it adds up to. Perhaps close to maximum with 8 missiles and 3 rocket pods? Wishlist: F-4E Block 53 +, MiG-27K, Su-17M3 or M4, AH-1F or W circa 80s or early 90s, J35 Draken, Kfir C7, Mirage III/V DCS-Dismounts Script Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon1-1 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 It might be that the fire control system can't handle asymmetrical loadouts. If you can only select the hardpoints as pairs, it might not be possible to actually use anything loaded opposite the Atakas. In fact, with the wings being reduced on the Mi-35M, it probably carries them like that simply because that's the only way it can carry 8 Atakas.

Apok Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 There are some pictures of 8x atakas on both pylons that add to confusion, but thats just for the sake of demonstration. Installations for it are supposedly only in right wing. There are combat videos of Iraqi ones with 2xS8 pods and 8 atakas on right wing. Also Serbian ones on excersises with atakas only on right wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogorogo Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 may I - just for the sake of it - remind of common sense - and wiring. Demos and PR are exactly that... actual system capability is something else - or why were B-52s until very recently carrying precision munitions draggily around on external pylons with empty cavernous bomb bays... We will get to enjoy a "24 P" - which is very muched spelled differently from "35 <<enter letter here>>" The former has cabletree wiring for 4 stations with 2 channels each, the latter a cabletree on one station for module carriers up to 8 channels. Variations will see the light of day.. eventually.. for both.. or not. None of which has anything to do with the module in discussion for the foreseeable DCS future. /thread (for the DCS-module... for the topic... keep going.. for one has to have seen a 72 with Italian (sic!) upgrades to not believe anything to be possible any time.. somewhere) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pappachuck Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 (edited) 16 atakas on the middle pylons on the short wing version of the P. Cypriot National Guard Mi-35P aka export version of the Mi-24P Note the short wing Edit 1: To carry more missiles there is a small modification on the weapon selector that is the addition of a button that allows the control and wiring of more missiles. Honestly it is such small modification that I dont see harm in modelling it, giving us the option. Also the stub wings option, and fixed landing gear. The ammount of effort modeling it so we can choose in the mission editor is so small and give us the ability to compose such awesome life like scenarios. After all, we do have the Cyprus island.

Apok Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Cypriot version isnt really a stock Mi24P. Its half way to 35M. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
