"I'm more of a fixed wing person" *Loses a wing*

We should develop a storyline for this Soviet pilot in the Afghan invasion, like he's the son of Yuri Antonov from IL-2 career etc.

Ah yes the music at the start Well done comrade, no gulag for you

Old Farmer Raptowsyak (Staff Szt. Retired) was watching landing with tear in his eye Comrade!!

We’ve gotten a lot of sub, ww1, and ww2 fighter series, why not a Cold War era attack helicopter series? It’d be great!

Shooting indescriminately into a populated area with a good old Soviet/Russian Mi-24, my man Wolfpack you really do get in character ahah! (Awesome video!!!)

RIP Enemy convoy and enemy town 2021-2021

Hey Wolfpack, Casmo has a few good tutorials on Hind tactics, especially his 'Bump' vid on rocket/gun attacks is pretty great.

I've been having a hard time memorizing the Start-Up for this monster.

Hind is a flying tank indeed… until the Stinger Missile was invented. Good solid chopper! It was originally an unarmed troop carrier, hence the armor. But crews started adding guns and rockets and it impressed the Soviet leaders, so a dedicated attack version was built, the Mi-24. It could also still carry 6 commandos in the version you used here, and you can see the doors on the sides as well. It’s no wonder the US military stole one out of the Libyan desert at the end of the Cold War.

Mission was in Cyprus , which is pretty accurate we might see soon a similar operation !

More Hind videos please!

Also on the subject of using the runway to land I think that's probably correct too from personal experience. Seeing CH-53s and MV-22 Ospreys land, both of which had retractable landing gear, they always took off and landed on the runway similar to a fixed wing aircraft unless they were being scrambled or landing on board a ship (for obvious reasons). Even the Hueys and Cobras which used skids would "land" on the runway and "taxi" to parking which really meant flying slowly just several feet off the ground. I imagine it's mostly due to the need to maintain orderly traffic control on the airfield.

The Hind is such a great module. So much fun to watch this mission, enjoyed it a lot.

That was a good introduction to the Hind. I hope we see more as your expertise increases. Thank you.

Ok yeah this was awesome ngl! Helicopters are something new that would be great if you posted more of! Again , that was awesome!

Men this helicopter is beast. I want to become pilot because of this masterpice Nice viedo btw

Enemy: [hits the Hind hundreds of times with gunfire] Hind: "Thank you for scratching that itch on my back comrade!"

I've just had my morning coffee so I'll restrain my caffeine enthusiasm. But. That was awesome. The precision of your flight and targeting was truly impressive. Your artistry is something I've only ever managed with my ka50. Just amazing. Blew me away. Usually I'm cynical "I could do that" or "that wasn't how i would do that". This film illustrates what one can acheive with the Hind. Humbling.

I don't know much about the Hind, but I am trained in flying actual helicopters. You seem to be flying this thing like a fixed wing aircraft. You can just hover the thing a foot or two off the ground for taxi and takeoff. Landings you can slow to zero airspeed (or near zero) before touching down. You can try pitching up and reducing your collective to "hit the brakes" (pitching up past the horizon, lower collective to not gain altitude), and on your attack runs I think you will get better results if you come in low. Being a few hundred feet off the ground and taking AA fire from kilometres away doesn't make sense. You can come in 10 feet off the ground completely unseen then just pop up and take an attack run as you approach the targets... Thanks for the videos, they are always entertaining.

Solid Snake sneaking around your base: "A Hind D?!"

I definitely didn't expect to hear Alexander Rosenbaum here! ...) "Caravan" is one of my favorite songs. I also recommend his songs on the theme of the Afghan war - "In the mountains of Afghani" and "Black tulip". Thanks for the video, it was interesting as always, but it would be more interesting with hover landing ...)))

Lollll!!! "And here is comming the second most dangerous part of the mission .... which is me landing it." I have been in that seat, i know exactly what you are talking about here.

Thanks for the new Series! One Reminder: You fly now a helicopter. You don't have to come in hot. Bleed as much airspeed as you can before touch down. Smiley with a blink ' ; ) The 'ground effect' will soon start to kick in and help you to "taxi" while still in air.

Took me 2m 45 to realise it was you, not Growling sidewinder LOL! Good to see you play DCS again, guess I'm getting used to that popping up in my content feed ;)

The hinds are some of my favorite gunships especially with their specialised unguided rockets like the s13 and s5 they just work so well also yeah the speed and sturdyness of them were my favorite thing in take on helicopters. Only gunship about as sexy as hinds are the cobras/viper. Maybe the gazelle but that one is barely a gunship.

loved this video, I don't see a lot of DCS helicopter content

Rozenbaum in Hind intro. It’s amazing amount of research done and good approach to content making.

I had no idea how one of these worked. Very much fun to see. Hope you will do more.

Am so happy I found your channel subbed a month or 2 ago and this is definitely starting to become a favorite

Yes I've been waiting for someone to make a video on the hind! Great job BTW

Everytime I see one of these my blood boils and I want to yell "Wolverines!!!" as I fire my AK from the hip and go out in a blinding fog as your 30mm chews me up like hamburger. 🤬

This was cool, definitely need more Hind content.

this is the first time i have seen a chopper landing like a plane.

The Hind is a beauty

I do think the hind is one of the coolest helicopters ever

I'm glad you are enjoying the Hind; I know it is a blast to fly. It is a beast of a helicopter.

Well, crew chief, a couple small bits fell off, but she still flew, so nothing too important, surely?

Only the nose and front troop cabin is armored the tail is the same as the Mi8 so when you turned around you was really giving the gunners an easy target to damage and possibly bring you down.

Awesome! Love the Hind, probably my favorite chopper.

What is it with subsimmers and their infatuation with attacking convoys?

Loving this helicopter video, would definitely watch a series of this

Thanks Wolf! Enjoyed it thoroughly....way too many gizmos in that cockpit 🤣

Wish I still had a machine to run DCS. Would love flying a hind on actual missions.

I love attack helicópters please keep those up. I'd love for you to make a systems guide for the Hind.

If the aircraft's on the ground and the pilot's alive it's a good landing. If you can use the aircraft the next day it's a great landing this was just a good landing

Just a quick information: in Afghanistan the Hind Always flew With extended Gear to improve survivability.

i see you've found a new passion in the Mi-24. keep at it.

You should work on placing the aircraft in line with the road itself so you can walk your cannons and rockets down the convoy in a lateral fashion. That way, your missed fire will most likely hit the trucks/tanks behind it.

Thank you very much! =))) That was awesome! Loved it! =))))))

the wings on the hind are for suspended weaponry and to reduce stress on the main rotor at high speeds as far as i know you can lose them and keep going

I had no idea that you flew helicopters as well? 😉 that was excellent, really enjoyed that, hope to see more 👍🐺

I know i am late but nice music taste (the intro song is a soviet afghan song about attacking the Mujahidin supply line from Pakistan to Afghanistan and the name of the song is "Caravan")

I logged a lot of hours in a heli-sim game called Coastal Heroes. The best advice I can give for someone starting out with helicopters is "the copter will move in the direction you move the stick" This can be forward, backward, side-to-side, or any direction. Your nose doesn't have to be pointed in the direction you are wanting to move. It's totally a totally different way of thinking than an airplane. You can do some really cool maneuvers when you learn the tricks.

Starting off with Alexander Rosenbaum… truly fantastic. Would love to see a career of this on your channel)

Oh God it's the MI-24P with the overkill 30mm that shreds ground targets

13:42 I love how the pilot keeps looking back and forth like he's having a panic attack or something! I'm impressed you didn't take any hits to the cockpit, I think your pilot's lucky to have not taken a 23mm to the face with some of those attacks!

Is this really how they would use these? It would make sense to slow down, run sideways and shoot all of the trucks without multiple time consuming sweeps.

Uglier than a hunchback from hell, meaner than Yeltsin with a hangover... Or something like that, maybe someone else remembers too :P

I'm excited to see this!

wow you fly this without AP's respect. especially your pedal work is amazing

Any landing in the Hind is a good one! That thing sure can be a challenge at low speeds, I see why they always chose rolling takeoffs/landings if it was possible

Oh sweet! I didn't know you were flying this.

Gives me happy memories of when I used the Mi-24 in enduring confrontation in WarThunder (before they added the fucking Ka-50)

Congrats on 75K!! I'm a bit early (74.9) but I'd rather be early than late. Well deserved milestone, looking forward to more!

I gave up learning to fly helicopters in DCS. A half-hour just to start one up was enough for me.

What an awesome aircraft.

The collective adjustment angle of the rotor blades should be 9° to 10°. Then the speed is around 240-250 km per hour. At that speed, the helicopter maneuvers better. The turning radius at a speed of 300 km is too large and it takes a very long time to turn. Also, the approach speed to the target is unnecessarily high. It lands on the undercarriage wheels at a speed of 80 km. You must not exceed the speed of 160 km with the chassis extended. Then it bends the plates of the chassis covers and in that case the chassis does not even have to lock even if it is inserted and the lights (red) indicating the correct locking of the suspensions do not light up. There is one special power mode indicator on the dashboard. It is to the left of the outlet gas temperature indicator. It has three triangles in the center that are set according to the current state of the atmosphere, and on the sides there are small yellow indicators of engine performance. This is the only indicator that interests you in a real fight. The middle red triangles indicate the three modes. The lowest is a travel ticket on which you can fly for any length of time. In the middle is the nominal mode, which is limited to one hour of operation and then cooling in travel mode for 30 min. The highest mode is take-off or maximum and there the time is limited to 15 minutes of use, in reality the engine lasts more than 15 minutes, but flying the entire mission at maximum power is nonsense and in reality you would probably screw it up. The Mi-24 responds well to the rudder, but below a speed of 200 km per hour. That way you can reduce the turning radius and shorten the turning time. And landing like an airplane ???? This is only done when one engine is out of service. Take off like an airplane OK - as long as it is fully loaded and there is a high altitude but normally it would only do that...

Nice little mission! You did well comrade 😅. I always place them so far out, need to stop that! I got hit so hard yesterday it blew off both wings! I didn’t know it could fly without them but it did. I do think they need to adjust the damage model. I don’t think it’s this tough in real life.

Hey this was fun! Hoping for more.

You like it fast -- beware of the blade stall.

Nice work. I don't own the Hind yet, just the Apache and the Huey. I want the Hind so bad! But I am torn on what module to get next. The new Blackshark looks sick AF and the Gazelle looks like a ton of fun. And of course the Chinook that was sneak peeked by ED. And the Kiowa as well. Too many choices, not enough $$$. Liked and subbed

thanks for Alexander Rosenbaum's song at begining video!!

the 30mm cannon on this basically make it the only helicopter equivalent of the A-10 in existance espeically combined with the much higher speed of the Hind.

LET'S GO I WAS HOPING FOR THIS

Excellent landing all things considered 👍

Yes yes and yes! This is what I was expecting!

What is your controller set up for flying choppers? Thanks for all the great sim content.

Hey Wolfpack great video on the hind!! Do you have the f14 module?

I don't want to be nitpicky here, but it seems that you fly the helicopter like a ground attack plane. 😅 Isn't the main feature of a helicopter that it can turn on the spot or stop in mid-air? You don't have to make target runs or fly large curves. After destroying the AA truck, you could've just stopped, turned the Mi-24 on its vertical axis and fired at the convoy at point blank range.

Well done, that's how we do it!

nice choice of caravan at the very beginning

Really enjoyed watching this!

Arma helo pilot here; best skill to practice with rotary aircraft is to decrease speed while maintaining altitude. Airspeed on takeoff and landing is not your friend.

This is my favorite helicopter, followed by Mi-35.

Having a good stand off range is how you survive and eliminate AA. Love this game play though!!

Man. The Hind is just the coolest.

that Rozenbaum song is perfect.. like a Black Tulip

Hi Wolf, greatings from Portugal, What kind of controls do you play this game? Love your channel, keep up the good work

Very nice use of Caravan at the start

Nice flight, mission and video :) But taking of from S. Cyprus fly towards the north, means enemy is the Turkish forces :)) Just remember 1974 ;) Nice game though...

oooh! Love me some heli action!

Well done!

I'm loving this

The song in the intro is called caravan if anyone wanted to know.

I'm having flashbacks to the original Red Dawn movie.

Love to see all of the new content on the channel but I gotta ask, when’s Yuri going to Stalingrad?

Damn, you're runnin' her hard. It's hilarious watching that blade AoA gauge just pegged out to the right. I don't know if the high torque hurts the engines yet or not. IIRC the engines don't like being above cruise torque for very long. But hey, if you're being shot at, max it out!

Hello! Nice video! What is your VR setup?

Another great video !
