BTW the factory where it has been created is not very far from my house (I'm talking about "Mriya"). Maybe we will rework the textures but later. And about release date. I'm repeating for the third time - "when it's ready". Maybe in2 days or maybe in a week.<span id='postcolor'> Dude, I was joking about the release date: j/k = just kidding  Anyway, I say again nice work, looking forward to it!

Ludovico Technique 0 Posted October 7, 2002 That looks cooooool. That thing could carry a small invasion force in a single trip. If it was made tough enough to survive a couple of LAW hits it would be amazing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
digitalcenturion 20 Posted October 7, 2002 And in the future could you consider making a crashed version of it, i hate to simulate that in missions it never looks right, i love the destroyed Urals, M113s and jeeps from the original game, they add so much athmosphere... and for Chechnya war missions a crashed MI26 would be just right... http://www.aeronautics.ru/img001/mi26crashchecnya.jpg http://www.aeronautics.ru/img002/chechnyamil35.jpg another nice pic http://www.aeronautics.ru/img002/chechnyamil30.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

red oct 2 Posted October 8, 2002 well there was the chinook in Afghanistan that survived a hit from a RPG, so since the Mi26 is twice or maybe 3 times the size of of the chinook maybe it could survive maybe 2 possibly 3 rpg type weapons? it all depends on what type of armor it uses and the structeral integraty (spelling) of the Mi26.

-A-V-Trekkie 0 Posted October 8, 2002 The Blackhawks in BHD survive RPGs too, remember the one flying back to base... (I mean book, not film! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZIKAN 0 Posted October 8, 2002 It all depends on where the damage is taken. A direct hit would surely take down those choppers. In those cases you have stated, they were lucky not to of been bought down because they didnt hit any vital stuff. 'Stingers' target the heat source, which would be the engine vents etc this is not easy to protect with armour. Above and around the engine are the rotars. Any damage to the rotars also would be catastrophic for any helicopter. A chance hit by an RPG into the main bulk of the body would more than likely bring it down also. You are wrong to think that double the size equates to more armour and protection of a machine. Nice model, I look forward to shooting it down Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-CCCP-Stalker 0 Posted October 8, 2002 Yeap. All AA missile target the heat source. We will make the armour to survive after 1.5 "Strela"\"Stinger" hits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
