AvroLanc Posted June 5, 2021 Posted June 5, 2021 In the first image below, which is a grab from the Pre-order vid, are we looking at a UB-32 57mm Rocket Pod or a B8V20 80mm pod with a nose cone fairing. I think the later, which means we get the option to mount B8V20 with or without the nosecone fairing? Hopefully. More options = good. I don't think we've seen a shot of the 57mm UB-32 pod at all. See the 2nd image below. Personally I prefer the look of the 57mm pods, even if they were said to be ineffective in real use. The current 3D model of the UB-32 in game is looking dated, so maybe it's being updated before release and that's why we haven't seen it?? 1
Northstar98 Posted June 5, 2021 Posted June 5, 2021 Pretty sure it's the pod for the S-8, just with the fairing (as used on fixed wing aircraft). And yes the UB-32 is very dated, presumably it'll get a new model in due course - the UB-16 for the L-39 however, is pretty decent. 1 Modules I own: F-14A/B, F-4E, Mi-24P, AJS 37, AV-8B N/A, F-5E-3, MiG-21bis, F-16CM, F/A-18C, Supercarrier, Mi-8MTV2, UH-1H, Mirage 2000C, FC3, MiG-15bis, Ka-50, A-10C (+ A-10C II), P-47D, P-51D, C-101, Yak-52, WWII Assets, CA, NS430, Hawk.

Solution Jun Posted June 5, 2021 Solution Posted June 5, 2021 B8 with fairing (B8M1) won't be available anymore upon release. It unintentionally ended up in the pre-order trailer. In real life B8M1 is not used on the Mi-24.

МЕ позволяет (пока что). Это наше упущение, просто недосмотрели - уберем!))) 2

When mercs where fighting with Mi-24s in Seirra Leone they used the S5 rockets the most. Though that was mostly because they had a lot of them compared to the S8 rockets.
