Dont get me wrong i really like you work  <span id='postcolor'> Well, it's based on a photo I at some point saw on an OFP fan website, of a real Mi-24 Hind painted in white with UN logo! Sometimes it's enough just to show up and display firepower, to prevent an attack - a method the UN did apply with tanks in several cases in former Yoguslavia.

WKK Gimbal 0 Posted March 22, 2002 Damn! I was just about to post that picture too! Â Then all I have is a quote from Mil's homepage: "Over 600 Russian military helicopter pilots have been cited with UN awards. In UN colours, MiL helicopters with Russian crews are used by the UN with high priority." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Espectro (DayZ) 0 Posted March 22, 2002 Did u skin the propellers with that orange colors, or is that a graphic added after the ingame screen? If its ingame, its just perfect... i didnt know the engine could make such realistic visuals Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WKK Gimbal 0 Posted March 22, 2002 The rotor is ingame - my policy is to only show stuff from inside OFP. That's also why the MOD site doesn't have pictures of 3d renders: they will not be shown before they actually work inside the game! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Assault (CAN) 1 Posted March 23, 2002 Looks very promising indeed Gimbal, keep up the awesome work. Tyler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's also a pretty reliable sorta chopper, and Russia (and other former Eastern-bloc countries) has a whole bunch of em, so it would seem to be a good choice for Russian UN forces. The screenshot looks triffic BTW Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The screenshot looks triffic BTW <span id='postcolor'> Yup...not only that it makes a great VIP helicopter as it's one of the if not THE most heavily armored helicopter in the world. So it's fairly capable of surviving attempts to bring it down by most 3rd world AA systems. Thus I would imagine that it would be the prefered way for UN VIP's to get around without worrying about their ride getting shot down. It's also capable of handling any trouble on an LZ especially the earlier models equipped with the 12.7mm turret mounted gattling gun. Plus like someone else mentioned it can be used for medevac purposes or transporting small units. Finally one of the most important uses is just psychological. It has to be the meanest looking gunship ever made no matter what color it is. It just is an incredibly intimidating helicopter. Most smart people will go into a deep hole when they see the business end of a HIND coming towards them since it's well known to be as deadly as it looks.
