super64 0 Posted February 24, 2008 Hmm interesting and sounds nice , have u got NMaping done and merged textures ? Because that is 1st what must be done BTW Mi24 Hind have armoured cockpits and canopies fitted with bullet-proof glass. Site Well I am not a modder. So I know nothing about textures. Ru!ner is our modder who has been really digging into it. All I know is the original RHS hind model brought a dedicated server to its knees with huge .rpt files and other lag issues. They are gone now. We are aware of the bullet proof glass. We changed that because the Hind has such great armor on its body. Remember, we modded this helo for use in a Player vs Player environment. We could care less about coop and killing AI. And when you have a helo with bullet proof glass and heavy armor, the guys on the ground shooting at it don't have much fun. Had to give them a fighting chance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roberthammer 582 Posted February 24, 2008 Those bullet proof glass and heavy armor are Power of HIND. Fighting chance is AA stinger or AA tanks and not M16 on air got him with headshot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

andersson 285 Posted February 24, 2008 Not me. If you please could release a realistic hind with bulletproof glass also? Whats RHS's view on this issue? I suppose its a collaboration(?), and RHS have always aimed for realistic features. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rubberkite 19 Posted February 24, 2008 Nice to hear... this is what Mi24 needs to fit MP missions and enter in the Hall of Fame Addons for ArmA. Good work!! I can't wait for it. Thank u RHS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaRat 0 Posted February 24, 2008 The bulletproof glass -or lack thereof- is going to ruin it's performance in PvP... It won't even be a threat, you just need a few guys to open up on the cockpit and it's won't stand a bloody chance... The Hind should evoke feelings of "Bloody hell, a Hind! Run for it lads!" not "Stay right where you are and put a few rounds into it's cockpit then turn back to the real fight"... But heh, I guess it's your addon...

RN Malboeuf 12 Posted February 24, 2008 btw. only front glass is bullet prove on HInd Side windows in pilot cockpit can be shot through in RL. known fact Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benoist 0 Posted February 24, 2008 For the NV to work you need BTR 80 addon and i think that you should keep with that tipe of NV since it's a very good one. And yes, if you can release a bullet-proof version we'll be glad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfbite 8 Posted February 24, 2008 The cockpit glass is quite bulletproof. Your not going to get through it unless you have like a 23mm canon. These things can take a lot of small arms fire so you cant just put any old glass on em. An the gun's a 12.7. Other than that the ToW upgrade looks great...... Personally i feel it defeats the point of the game when you try to balance the units out aghainst each other... But still looks great guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Prydain 1 Posted February 24, 2008 The cockpit glass is quite bulletproof. Your not going to get through it unless you have like a 23mm canon. These things can take a lot of small arms fire so you cant just put any old glass on em I don't think so. BMG.50 is capable of piercing many types of IFVs, saying you need something like a RARDEN or at least a Bushmaster is beyond mong, a Shilka has a quad 23mm setup, if the developers saw the Hind could take hits from anything below it, they would have fitted something bigger.

andersson 285 Posted February 24, 2008 Can you penetrate the side-glass with 5.56 or 7.62? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inkompetent 0 Posted February 24, 2008 Oh, and well... I kind'a agree with the people on the armoured canopy thing. If you absolutely want to release a "game play balanced" Hind, please also release one that's in the eyes of us that doesn't like "balance" but rather "realism" not a ruined joke of a Hind, but that actually is a flying tank.

Mr_Tea 0 Posted February 24, 2008 It would be ridicules if you can shoot the pilot or gunner with small arms. Give that beast bulletproof glass. Anyways, what are stingers good for? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dren 0 Posted February 24, 2008 Anyways, what are stingers good for? We use flares. So basically it becomes pretty hard to shoot down with stinger. And you should be happy of getting that helo back and not wonder about pulletproof glass.. Theres still alot unrealistic things in arma, believe me or not, but hinds glass is smallest of them.

Mr_Tea 0 Posted February 24, 2008 The Hind is a flying tank, not an oversized MH-6. If i can shoot the pilot with an M16, than that is something to worry about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
super64 0 Posted February 24, 2008 The Hind is a flying tank, not an oversized MH-6.If i can shoot the pilot with an M16, than that is something to worry about. Then fix it yourself. For our playing environment, it works perfectly. AA kits are limited per side and so are scoped weapons. The Hind is a devastating bird even with non-bulletproof glass. Shooting the pilot out isnt as easy as you think. So basically, we'll giving it back to RHS with what we've done and they can take it from there. But we fixed the things we thought needed fixing. Don't like it? Big deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr_Tea 0 Posted February 24, 2008 No big deal for sure. But the version i use right now do have bulletproof glass, that´s nothing that had to be implemented. If you want the sheep in an wolf`s skin, go ahead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inkompetent 0 Posted February 24, 2008 Put some more ZSU-23/4 or ZU-23 into the missions, which can make very many holes in a Hind to counter the lack of Strelas/Stingers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
