The Original Russian Tank Buster - Mi-35M - War Thunder

[@JustMinna]

Funny how I've seen more Ka 29s than this in battle... (I've only seen two Ka 29s ever since I started playing war thunder)

[@trol9926]

Ka-29 my beloved, it's such a fun little derpy heli. It looks like a fat goldfish

[@justaperson1619]

@@trol9926 during the Christmas sale I was thinking which helicopter should I buy and upgrade all the modules right away: Mi-24P or Ka-29? I chose the Mi-24P, but if I had some money now, I would maybe go for the Ka-29 too just to have it

[@buckeyebrat8271]

The new AH-6M Little Bird is pretty decent in ground RB. It is a super small and nimble helicopter that can take a decent close air support loadout. Sure it can only carry 4 Hellfire K variant, but it can quickly and sneakily rearm and get right back in. It is also very good at sneaking up on enemy helicopters and destroying them with the Gau-19.

Man,the memories of the 2017 April Fools Event:No ballistic computer,bomb sight for aiming the ATGMs,T-90 vs. Leopard 2A5 (or 2A6, can't remember),the GM-64 Apache with OP Hellfires...

[@theflyinggasmask]

Making me feel old.. I remember MikeGoesBoom streaming the Mi-35 on the dev server, landing in a volcano like it was yesterday.

[@tianhaoju4634]

The Mi-35M is definitely one of the most forgotten helicopters, namely for the reason that there are no Russian 10.3 vehicles to team up with it, and in 10.7 the Ka-50 is much, much better than the hind I have seen more A129CBTs than it I guess, one option is to uptier the 2S38 to 10.3, making it well balanced for that given BR, and allowing the Mi-35M(And the MiG-21SMT or Su-17M2) some apperance, since the 2S38 is a good AA piece, it can slide in the lack of tanks in 10.3 by acting as an AA with a light tank icon

[@OtterMusician]

If only the Su-17M2 was 10.3. It’s still painful at 10.7 with limited guided ordinance and no countermeasures. EDIT: Well, it's 10.3 now. It didn't change much.

[@tianhaoju4634]

@@OtterMusician Oh bruh didnt realize that

[@mayonotes9849]

​@@OtterMusician Even if they move it down to 10.0 it'll still suck because of its limited ground ordinance and no countermeasures. It's also not very fast either.

[@DeathDealer1825]

Jokes on you there is plenty of good 10.3 russian tanks in lineup lol and the atakas 6km range isnt too bad tbh

[@Not_Octopus]

Forgot to mention last time, Sprut does mean 'Octopus', though it is also interchangeable with 'Kraken'. Which is much cooler name to use.

[@Nikkari5228]

Its not laser guided so its fine to shoot any vehicle without being compromised, Laser guided atakas are only on mi28nm and ka 52

[@captainfactoid3867]

This thing is extremely overpowered. I spaded it recently and had a 5.3 K/D. Absolutely overpowered and destroys almost every type of vehicle it fights

[@malcolmlaw7663]

Around the sub-top tier, many player do not have complete lineup. If most player got FlaRak or XM957 or Amx30 Roland. Helicopters won't be that easy to get these kills. But most people have no complete lineup with proper SPAA, that's how the environment is now currently.

[@farmcat9873]

@JustinPlays lmfao 😉 good touch and oh ya boy I remember when this came out and especially that update and Nice stream yesterday 👍 But this thing was great back then no doubt and I still like it. Not use to the old stuff after using all the new high-tech Heli and its back to adding a lil skill to get the job done. But nice to see this video, nice touch a lil of the old Op stuff tossed in with the new.

[@johanapolinarioveliz6754]

8:47 now imagine the EC UHT PARS preferring destroyed tanks to track instead of the tanks we want. :)

[@MierVids]

9:20 love how the missile completely ignores the flares from the a10

[@JustinPlaysTV]

Stingers, iglas, and Mistrals tend to ignore flares pretty well. Everything else usually does not.

[@waterb-doge6122]

The missles of Mi35 are not laser guided so that is why the PUMA and CV90105 didn't get laser warned

[@carabus0354]

This is why we need a Tank only mode. Air only mode and Helicopter only mode, give us a tank one. If people don't like it, it won't get populated. But as a tank main this is just disheartening. There little to no answer to this at some BR's and over all add in Aircraft and Drones. It sucks!

Locking ground units are only good when it’s individual targets, if there’s many around the target your locking or if they drive in front of destroyed targets then it’s bad.

[@johanapolinarioveliz6754]

Day 1 asking the big youtubers to play ground top tier in matches where Russia is your enemy, and log how many times and what are the chances of losing against them. There is a Russian power creep in top tier.

[@johanapolinarioveliz6754]

I tell you this because yesterday I played 8 matches, 6 I lost and 2 of them I won (I was in the Russian side). Then I met a Russian tank player, we joined up in a squad, and I bet him we would win 5 matches in a row and probably we would lost 1. We won 5 matches in a row, he switched to USA and we lost 2, he disconnected. Today I paired up again with him, we played Germany and USA and all 5 matches we lost, he disconnected and I played the last one I got paired up with the Russians, we won.

[@johanapolinarioveliz6754]

I won't explain all details why this might happen, but just to name a few: Ka50/52s, non detonating ammo, ERA capable of stopping DM53, buggy driver port, lower glacis shots that may not destroy the tanks, diagonal shots where fuel and driver eat the shell, Mig27s, the new Pantsir stomping any non Russian CAS, Russian SPAA that can be useful as support (you can track and kill tanks, contrary to Flarakrad or ITO where you are no threat for ground), and so on. Add the fact that Russian players can rush, because: their armor is great and they are low (it is way harder to shoot the driver port than the whole hull of non Russian tanks), and if they die, the Ka50s points are so low that with an assist and capture they can spawn them and stomp the enemy, and if they don't have points, they can spawn Pantsir and there you go easy points for the next Mig27 or Ka52. These are just a few reasons why they almost always win, but there are many more.

[@SuperSpielerTerrance]

They call it Mil Mi-35M Super Hind

[@araknas3981]

The Mi-28A and this thing should swap BRs. The 28A is extremely potent with 16 Atakas, even against air targets at short range (speaking from personal experience). It would do just fine if it was uptiered to 10.3. The 35 is meh in comparison, and would have a lineup to play with at 10.0. 8 Atakas + 4 Iglas fall short of 16 Atakas. The 35's only advantage is the thermal sight. But I guess Gaijin's precious data shows otherwise. Lot of morons in the 28A and no one in the 35.

Also, I get these atgms looks like it's gonna hit the enemy, and BOOM rite threw the damn tank, nice to see its not just me. But also the American hellfire sux these days compared to the Russian missiles and they just don't want to lock onto planes for some reason and the lock on just locks off outta nowhere and it sux when you want to fire and forget to take on a Jet when you have a tank locked. But yup the 9M39 blow compared to Vikhrs and ATAKA but this is from 2016/2017 and gaijin just left em in the dust. But the Russian Mi-24D and Mi-24A those are pretty scummy ngl.
