Il-76/B-52/ Super sexy Hind. Any info??

Recommended Posts

Just wondering are there any addon plan's for an ilyushin Il-76 candid??Preferably one of the modern upgraded one's. I cant find any pictures atm. But i saw a photo of a russian airdrop regiment one and it had all kinds of sensors/countermeasures on it As far as i could make out it looked like it had a Flir/Optical sensors lookind box and loads of other bits that i cant figure out what they where down the side of it.

Plus i cant wait till gnat finalises the b-52 or if anyone else is gonna make a b-52. any plans for the recent one's B-52G i think confused_o.gif meh too early/late. Whats the "nam" b-52 that had the external bombs mounted on the rails on the wings.?? jus wonderin

oh yeah... whatever happened to that super sexy-lookin hind addon???

Which version do you mean?

IL-76PP ECM Plane

IL-82 Airborne Command Post

A-50A/B AWACS

or the

A-60 Laser Weapons Testbed

There were several other versions made but they were all one offs.  The latest upgraded IL-78 Tankers now do have FLIR but currently they are only fitted to 3 airframes.

I'm not aware of any "special ops" versions and Ilyushin haven’t declared any more variants as far as i'm aware.  Although India has recently (2003 - ) upgraded all the avionics in its -76 & -78 fleet.

Plus i cant wait till gnat finalises the b-52 or if anyone else is gonna make a b-52. any plans for the recent one's B-52G i think  confused_o.gif  meh too early/late. Whats the "nam" b-52 that had the external bombs mounted on the rails on the wings.?? jus wonderin

There are 3 out - Gnats and 2 older ones.  One in Vietnam colours, the other in flat green.  

All the B52s have the ability to carry weapons on their pylons.  They just need them fitted.

oh yeah... whatever happened to that super sexy-lookin hind addon???

It was adopted by a mod team.  BOH I think?  Or maybe VME.

I thought RHS had the hind, but without a scripter for it, its sitting idle. D'oh!

Could be.. i just remember it being donated to a Mod Team. I think BOH stuck in my mind from the oriental connection.

Was RHS but yes huge shortage of scripters caused the big delay.

As a bonus we pack in Pilots for it in the release i think.

Nice candid guys. If the ecm version is still able to carry bmd's it was probably one of those. It was probably: A b-52thets fully textured... as opposed to just the flat green kinda sugard paper the beta has atm. nam colourin you say?? cheers smile_o.gif cheers dude. Shame about the scripters. Pilots ye say.. Well at least its not being rushed by you guys... its in safe hands with RHS

None of the specialised versions can carry large cargo. The load space is usually occupied by the command module and a huge generator for ECM etc.

Try the VTE Mod for the Vietnam B-52
