NEW Mi-8 & SUPER HIND! FIRST IMPRESSIONS, PERFORMANCE, LOADOUTS & MORE! - War Thunder DEV

[@Th3Bishop3]

God I hope they add a detailed cockpit to the modern Mi-8. Seen photos of it's interior and it looks amazing, always been looking forward to an MFD Mi-8.

[@Butters_05]

The super hind looks like something out of half life 😅

[@rogermateuclua]

Thanks for doing this video matt, i love this new mi8

[@missel-skibidi]

IT IS BALKAN RAAAAGE MANGO MANGO MANGO!

Those who acknowledge 💀

[@sablejoke49]

On one of your previous videos, the cruise missile one, I gave a suggestion that was very popular. Could you look at it and maybe follow it up?

[@roguetechpanda]

Sick looking heli

[@wifi_soldier5076]

The Mi-8 should have been the version that added the LMUR missiles. The one we got seems pretty good pointless, why would I take this over the Mi-28?

[@IllustriousUnknown416]

I mean, this Mi-8AMTSh-VN version is the latest Mi-8 variant ever made. It supposedly entered service in 2021. I never heard of a LMUR-capable Mi-8. As far as I know, only the Ka-52M and Mi-28NM are capable of firing these

[@wifi_soldier5076]

@@IllustriousUnknown416 Mi-8MNP-2 is the version that can fire LMUR

[@oz314]

The new Mi 8 looks awesome, can't wait to get it.

[@errornamenotfound2513]

I was taught long time ago to not use the word "Very" often which really made me wonder "Why does it matter?" With this video now i know why XD Btw Superhind's cockpit is a just a placeholder taken from mi35's cockpit. RL Superhind cockpit is significantly more modern than it

[@rodneycook3674]

So does the super hind get target tracking or not. Pretty important feature and it wasn’t talked about

[@Rorywizz]

It's crazy how many good helicopters Britain has now

[@Arturijo]

Hey Mat, there are screenshots of the Su-34 in the files with the Khibini ECM pod. Maybe you could do a video about the implementation of ECM and which options the different countries have. And would be cool if you could create a discord again so we could send you this stuff.

[@sturmovik_80]

In the modification it doesn't show the thermal of Mi-8 for some reason

[@g.williams2047]

The superfund is really cool.

[@PvtPartzz]

I don’t understand why it wouldn’t have access to r60’s. Surely they wouldn’t remove the functionality as part of their modernization..

[@stevenortiz9008]

Let's hope that changes on live update

[@mybru1]

Because its a south african redesign for Algeria and ukraine and Azerbaijan. Hence the ingwes. Alternatively it is also fitted with Ukrainian baryer missiles

[@blank3041]

It should technically have access to them. its basically just a much better Mi-24.

[@tyster5228]

I’m still waiting for the Blackhawks to get reworked cockpits

[@thunderingsky799]

is there 50% off on rank 7 vechiles or not?

[@irGeorgeh]

Its definitely not to fast of a missile (ZT3A2 on the superhind) to point out that everything russian has double the speed... so personally i would say the 9.7 hinds are a little better to defend itself than the South african hind, the main reason mi24p gets R60m 4x and Shturm which are double the speed near enough going 550m/s a comparrison of speeds to explain; name of the missiles then m/s vikhr (Tandem+Beamriding) - 600m/s Shturm - 550 m/s (SACLOS) Ataka - 550 m/s (Tandem+Beamriding) Hellfire - 475 m/s (Tandem+Laser+IOG) Krizantema - 400m/s (Tandem+Beamriding) AKD- 9 - 360 m/s (Tandem+Laser+IOG) ZT3A2 - 342 m/s HOT 2/3 - 250 m/s As you can see it is pretty low compared to most general ATGMS fired, but they have a benefit of being Tandem and beam riding so they will go streaight to the target and not loft like hellfires or Spikes. So i would say it is probably balanced where it is the fact you get thermals but you lack the ir missile to defend against planes etc. as would the super hind not get mistrals?? then i think it would help out alot.

[@ogamer9250]

I dont see your range issue 5km is fine most missiles for spaa dont even travel that far

[@chrisbacon3071]

I like the Super Hind don't get me wrong... but I wanted the BAE Hind...

[@Pledgus]

Morning Matt

[@ntg158]

we need AI targets in GRB

[@r3tr0a82]

Thanks gaijin. yet another russian vehicle that's NOT in the russian tree

[@viniciussccz]

not russian, its south african

[@r3tr0a82]

It's exclusively south African?

[@r3tr0a82]

Guess you're right, didn't know that

[@viniciussccz]

@@r3tr0a82 its a modified mi24 airframe but with south african systems and weapons

[@ymonxd2744]

damn

[@shayzadg]

For something that’s called superhind it isn’t very super

[@Bielskii]

it funny how Russia helicopter have Thermal but not their Jet

[@mybru1]

Because its not russian. It's south african

[@BlackWolf9988]

They do though but gaijin doesn't like to add it for some reason. Stuff like the thermal targeting pods for the su25t/su39 exist. You also have french made thermal targeting pods that could be attached to a bunch of russian planes but gaijin again says no.
