Absolutely new mi-26 under constructions

[Cpt. FrostBite 0]

agree. In that aspect the DKM MI-28 crashed model was better done.

But a burned out model gives you more freedom. You can have it follow the terrain without lookin bad (on bumpy tarrain and sloping hills). Try it out. Try to crash a Mi02 right on the edge of a hill so that one part of the crashed model is on flat ground and the other part on the hillside. With the burned out model this still looks quite good and not that strange.

I haven't tested this with the DKM model, but I seriously doubt the result will be anything like this. The crashes Mi-28 is only at it's best when crashed on flat ground.

Look at the wrecked model. You can easily hide in this thing:)(long screen)

Looks fantastic, incredible, whoo cant wait .

I think scars Mi24 will be a good escort for this huge monster, great russian helos in OPF is a dream come true, keep up the great work .

[dm 9]

Oh and the plane tail in Apoc Now is an F-4, not B-52, they're massive compared.

An F4 phantom? Oh well, I was a very long time ago hat I've seen it. I can sure tell an F-4 and B-52 apart.

OT: It was definately a B-52, not an F-4.

Back on topic: This addon looks fantastic, not only is the texture detail so good its almost real, but the model features show that you guys have put a lot of thought into what you are doing (e.g. the rotordisc "flexing" to simulate the weight of the helicopter)

It will definately become a permanent addition to my addons folder. Good work guys!

OT; I knew it!

on-topic;

I can only agree with Deadmeat. The model looks awesome and the crashed-model looks even better. It's huge and looks extremely good!!

Please stop making irresistably good addons before my computer explodes.

Just out of curiosity is it possible in ofp for the helicopter to be less damaged by hits to certain areas: for example if I fire a heat round into an Mi-26s cabin IRL it will probably just put a hole in the chopper and pass through, could this be replicated in OFP or does collision detection only allow for simpler equations?

I think I read something about that before mai 2001. I saw a subtitle under a picture of a Hind, where it said, that you can even shoot the pilots through the glass with a sniper rifle, but this feature hadn't been completed and so in didn't find it's way into the full version

[Cpt. FrostBite 0]

Shooting the pilot with a sniperrifle is actually a normal feature of the engine. The glass offers limited protection and people behind it can be shot. It may take a few hit's though. How many depends on the armor level of the chopper. So on a hind this will take many hit's because of it's heavy armor.

Killing the pilots of the stock Mi-24 and Mi-8 is next to impossible with smallarms. Whereas it is very much possible on the Apache, and the Cobra.

The crashed model is looking great! I really like the escape ladders etc. inside

Хорошо HO team! (I haven't had the time to learn the word for "team" in Russian, yet )

i just love to get laughed at in air DM's , everyone wants a AH-64 , and i say "MI-24!" , but then they hit the log bastard... and it flies, and keeps flying... and keeps flying...  and blows them away!  

good work on the burned model! me likes!  any chance of it having one "gunner" position ? trough a small portal or something?  

[Fart-Nark 0]

wow nice.soz if some has asked this before but will you be able to carrie jeeps in this helicopter?

[DPS -CCCP- 0]

Burn effect would be nice, but the chopper model isen't burned out, so it wouldn't match. Klink's UH-1's are burned out.

On the apache it's also quite difficult. Thransport choppers like the UH-60 are the easiest.

THe reason why you can't shoot the Mi-24 pilot is because he's very well protected. Both by the shape of the cockpit and the very high armor of the chopper. In real life the chopper can take hit's from a 23mm cannon.

Ingame, I can kill the Apache pilot with one shot from the BIS Dragunov, the same goes for the Cobra/UH-60

However, on the MI-8/MI-24 I can spend all the ammo of my Dragunov shooting at the pilots, the glass just won't break! Which looks to me as a slight bug, not defining the windows as breakable/shootable.

Anyway, back on-topic!

[jakerod 254]

nearly positive that windows on hinds and hips are armored windows or reinforced or bullet proof or something like that.

I would like to see the glass that could withstand what I have seen it withstand ingame (A magazine of 50. cal bullets fired from the SFP AG90 [the Swedish designation for the Barret], and three shots from SFP's STRF 9040's 40. mm cannon)

[lee_h._oswald 0]

Any news about this wondeful chopper?

I can't wait for a release of this beauty!!
