War Thunder [Development] Mi-24A: The Crocodile |
| [Development] Mi-24A: The Crocodile Posted: 31 Aug 2018 12:41 AM PDT  The first version of the most mass-produced military helicopter of the Eastern Bloc – the Mi-24A. Meet the forerunner of a magnificent military dynasty in War Thunder! In short: The Mi-24A is a heavy, fast and reliable helicopter with a good selection of armament. The first vehicle in the series of legendary Hinds! In studying the possibilities of helicopter design and the experience of other countries, Mikhail Leontyevich Mil came to the conclusion that a well-armed and armored battle helicopter was required to increase the mobility of the Soviet Army. It had to be capable of transporting cargos and paratroopers – a kind of flying armored car. In contrast to the American army, in which troop transport helicopters operated with cover from assault helicopters, Mikhail decided to create a vehicle that could handle both these tasks on its own. The engineers at the Mil design bureau already had considerable experience in developing helicopters, and had performed several experiments in transforming transport helicopters into assault helicopters. This meant that after military officials approved the concept of an assault-transport helicopter, the team immediately got to work. In the summer of 1969, literally a year after the work had begun, the Mil engineers presented a prototype for testing.   In short, the Mi-24A is a great way to become acquainted with this series of "Hinds", and start learning the main battle tactics on these vehicles. The first Mi-24As will take to the skies in mixed battles in update 1.81 Flight of the Valkyries – we're looking forward to it as much as you are!
