TheLongShanks Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Much like the Mig 29, the Hind was in the East German air force and became shortly active in the newly unified German Airforce in the early 90s. Is there any chance we may see an East German or NATO German version, or if not how would one go about creating a good mod of one? I take it the cockpit and livery would the only necessities Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiob Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 You'll probably need to find someone who is into creating skins/liveries and provide him with picture materials of the version you have in mind. A good point to start may be the download section. It's full of skin-creators. "Muß ich denn jedes Mal, wenn ich sauge oder saugblase den Schlauchstecker in die Schlauchnut schieben?"

Northstar98 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 The only other thing is the SPO-15, which is a RWR that's a bit more advanced. It features quite prominent antennae on the fuselage. One of the antennae can be seen in between the pilot door and the cabin door. 1 Modules I own: F-14A/B, Mi-24P, AV-8B N/A, AJS 37, 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.

Neither air force used the Hind. Unlike the MiG-29 the Hind was not in service with the air forces, but with the Army Aviation Corps "Armeefliegerkräfte" of East Germany and after reunification they were briefly used by the Army Aviation Corps "Heeresflieger" of the Bundeswehr for a few years. 3 Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

stuart666 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 There is a recent book on the Hind ive been reading that talks about the German political difficulty in assimilating a Helicopter witht he word 'attack' in its name. So for largely political reasons, the Unified German Goverment sold all the Hinds off. Ironically German troops when fighting in Afghanistan who were still waiting for the Eurocopter Tiger, had to received air support from Polish Hinds, many of which were ex DDR examples the Germans had sold onto them....

SmukY Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Well, what else to say than "oof". Interesting story, I didn't know it, thanks for sharing. Helicopters don't fly, they just subdue the air. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bananabrai Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Would also enjoy a good quaility west german skin. I don't know though where the Hinds would have been sationed, if we adopted them. And if they would have gotten the same coulours as the Bo-105. Wonder how that would look like. Alias in Discord: Mailman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
