Mi-8MTV2 in 1.2.6


Recommended Posts

...just 'this year'

 

That would be the most reliable estimate.

Wags posted a Mil Mi-8 pict on ED facebook, but, What is that county?

I believe that is Afghanistan http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Afghan_National_Air_Force_roundel.svg

 

 

Edit: Beat me to it Rammit, rep inbound, thanks for confirming.

 

I'm not familiar with all the specs of the Mi-8, so I was wondering about the gunner positions. It was mentioned that they won't be added until release so I understand why they are missing in this screen shot. But when added, there will be a cut out in the back door area on the right side correct? I'm assuming he's also able to aim out the back when the doors are fully open as well?

or can be a operable door

 

It depends on the version but I think this version has positions flanking the rear, kind of at the 4 and 8 o'clock positions.

 

Ah I see, thanks!

 

Afghan Hip? Man I will love a Afghanistan map, or at least a part of it, and with a flyable Hind... So many opportunities!!

 

Hip, Hind and Afghan map would definitely be fun. Add in infantry models of Afghan era soviets and mujaheddin and you should have everything you need to model that conflict.

Is there ANY idea of when 1.2.6 with the eventual Beta of this will drop?

I mean are we talking a week or two, a few weeks or a few months or just 'this year'

Maybe we should start a "is it out yet?" thread. It only took us 271 pages when we waited for 1.2.2... :D

There will always be bugs. If everything is a priority nothing is.

Nope, .. won't be suckered in to a Belsimtek Beta again, .. unless .. the finished Huey is released first.:)

 

I see no benefit in funding their 3rd project. :smilewink:

Buying it straight away isn't the problem, finding the time to fly is! :(

As I said a few times in the past, I'll hold until multiplayable positions have been implemented. Until then no multiseat aircraft, Its kinda a big deal for me as I solely play multiplayer. However Mi-8 may get special consideration -

 

Is the fixed weapon positions completely controlled by the pilot or does the co-pilot have a part in with the main armament ? (In a real world situation)

&

Do any multiplayer missions have a use for a non-combat aircraft yet ? Example: any interaction to ground troops been implemented yet or logistic type missions ? Been out of the game for a bit so I'm amiss with the upkeep of dev information.
