Bee_Sting Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 (edited) I know that the Soviets made a Mi-8 anti sub version. It can land on water with a powerful engine and a starter/generator near the rotor system to reduce weight. Does the Mi-8 have IR reduction suppressing for hiding engine heat and IR jammers. I would love to see these upgrades. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMgbcE-fVME 1 of 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBoxuksyXV0 2 of 2 Edited September 25, 2013 by Bee_Sting

I would love to see these upgrades. The anti-sub version of the Mi-8 is not an Mi-8, it's an Mi-14. The upgrades to the Mi-14 that you mentioned (TV3-117 engines and APU with starter/generator) are already incorporated into the Mi-8MTV-2. They also already have the exhaust suppressors. The only thing you mention that isn't already there is the IR jammer, and I'm not sure they're going to be modelling that.
