Offensive armament

Main article: GI2 (20 mm)

The Superhind is armed with:

  • A choice between three presets:
    • 1 x 20 mm GI2 cannon (840 rpg) + 90 x countermeasures
    • 1 x 20 mm GI2 cannon + 90 x countermeasures + HIRSS
    • 1 x 20 mm GI2 cannon + 90 x countermeasures + HIRSS + IRCM

Suspended armament

Describe the helicopter's suspended armament: additional cannons under the winglets, any bombs, and rockets. Since any helicopter is essentially only a platform for suspended weaponry, this section is significant and deserves your special attention. If there is no suspended weaponry remove this subsection.

Default weapon presets
  • 4 x ZT3A2 Ingwe missiles + 80 x S-8KO rockets
  • 4 x S-24 rockets
  • 4 x ZT3A2 Ingwe missiles
  • 8 x ZT3A2 Ingwe missiles
  • 4 x 250 kg OFAB-250sv bombs (1,000 kg total)
  • 4 x 500 lb LDGP Mk 82 bombs (2,000 lb total)
  • 2 x 500 kg FAB-500M-54 bombs (1,000 kg total)
  • 2 x ZB-500 incendiary bombs

Usage in battles

Describe the tactics of playing in a helicopter, the features of using the helicopter in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons

Summarise and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in the bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the helicopter in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
