Description
The Mi-4AV is a Rank V Russian attack helicopter
with a battle rating of 8.7 (AB), 8.0 (RB), and 8.3 (SB). This helicopter was introduced in Update 1.81 "The Valkyries".
General info
Flight Performance
Describe how the aircraft behaves in the air. Maximum speed, manoeuverability, speed and allowable loads - these are the most important characteristics of the vehicle.

Survivability and armour
The Mi-4AV is a large helicopter and a big target, unfortunately, to help keep this bird in the air and hauling troops and weapons to the battlefront, sacrifices had to be made and here, the sacraifice was armor protection. Armor would have weighted down the already heavy helicopter, but that did not deter the Soviet Union from building these helicopters and using them in large scale as a showcase piece of their technological prowess. The Mi-4AV turned out to be a do-it-all helicopter despite not having any armor protection.
The pilot must be aware of their surroundings as they do not want to bring undue notice upon themselves. Strategy plays key in this helicopters ability to sneak into position, let loose a volley of rockets or zero-in an anti-tank guided missile onto an unsuspecting target. Use structures and terrain to act as shields when possible.
Armaments
Offensive armament
Suspended armament
Usage in battles
Describe the tactics of playing in the helicopter, the features of using vehicles in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view but 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:
- Workhorse
- Several external payload options for weapons
Cons:
- No armour or bullet-proof glass
- Critical components co-located (cockpit, engine, motor and oil coolers)
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 If the historical reference turns out to be too big, take it to a separate article, taking a link to an article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ History" (example: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>, as well as adding them at the end of the article.
