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

Pros:

• Very strong helicopter, can survive multiple hits
• One of the fastest helicopters in the game
  • The Yak-B machine gun fed with 1470 rounds is effective against enemy aircraft and lightly armoured targets
• Large payload options:
  • Can be equipped with IRCM, 192 countermeasures, and HIRSS
  • Can carry 4 R-60M AAM with 30G of overload which is really effective to deal with jet fighters
  • Can carry 4 S-24 rockets
  • Can carry up to 8 Shturm AGMs

Cons:

• Big helicopter meaning it's a big target
• Heavy helicopter, bad manoeuvrability
• R-60 aren't fitted with ECCM so they might be deflected by flares
• Yak-B is ineffective against heavily armoured targets
• Doesn't have access to thermal vision
• Shturm AGMs are not laser-guided

History

Work on the Mi-24 began in the early 1960s, with engineers at the Mil design bureau coming to the realisation that helicopters capable of both transporting troops and materiel as well as being able to provide fire support are gaining ever-increasing importance with new combat doctrines focusing on battlefield mobility. The Mi-24V is a further development of the Mi-24, that entered production in 1976. The V modification most notably introduced the 9M114 "Shturm" guided missiles to the Hind's arsenal, which in turn significantly increased its hit probabilities and destructive power. In its decade-long production (1976 - 1984), around 1,000 Mi-24Vs were produced, eventually becoming the most produced version of the Hind.
