The Mi-28NM has a wide selection of weaponry for a range of roles, from small-game hunting to the most armoured targets.
Three types of ATGMs are available. The stock 9M120-1 Ataka is a mostly identical to the basic 9M120 Ataka seen on earlier Soviet helicopters, but has beam-riding guidance instead of SACLOS. 800 mm of tandem warhead penetration and 6 km of range are below average at such a high battle rating, and it is not safe to use against radar SAMs. Vikhrs are completely superior to the Atakas with 8+ km range and a proximity fuse, allowing them to engage SPAA from safer distances and shoot down incoming SAMs as an improvised active protection system. This makes them by far the most flexible option, but they also have a more limited capacity of only 6 tubes per pylon, versus 8 for the others. The Khrizantemas are heavier descendants of the Ataka, and although the range is still a short 6 km, they have 50% greater penetration and hit as hard as a BMP-2M's Kornet, easily defeating most top-tier tanks.
The Mi-28NM still has access to Igla missiles, making the Mi-28N a formidable anti-air platform against unaware jets or those with poor speed and maneuverability at the cost of ATGM capacity. It should be noted that the Vikhr can also be used for the anti-air role, but require the constant attention of the user instead of being fire-and-forget like the Igla.
Amusingly, the Mi-28NM's arsenal adds back the 250 kg and 500 kg bombs that were unavailable to the previous two Russian helicopters and last seen on the Mi-24P Hind. Thus, the highly advanced Mi-28NM and the capstone of the Mil Mi line is in fact the best helicopter bomber in the game with a maximum load of 4x 500 kg = 2,000 kg. It should be obvious that helicopter bombing at top tier with the Mi-28NM is much more challenging than with the Mi-24A at 8.7, but the option does exist for bold pilots.
Defensive systems
The Mi-28NM can be outfitted with MAW (Missile Approach Warning) system and 128 countermeasures.
Anti-tank role: due to the significant amount of ATGMs it can carry, the Mi-28NM is more than suited for tank busting at all ranges in all weathers. Trees, buildings, and other environmental cover should be used to ensure the survivability of the Havoc as it will protect it from detection and, in case of being spotted and engaged, a route of escape as well as solid cover against enemy missiles and anti-air cannons.
Rocket launcher: the immense quantities of rockets it can carry make it a flying MLRS, able to strafe all sorts of ground targets with the vast selection of rockets. S-8KO rockets prove to be the best for taking out both armoured targets and lightly armoured but scattered targets, as the penetration and quantities of the rockets ensure you are able to cover a wider area with salvos. The S-13OF rockets are more of a heavy duty rocket where a lot of explosive power needs to be centralized in a single place, for example when taking down enemy bases and control points in Helicopter Enduring Confrontation mode.
Anti-air: not only do the Vikhrs prove themselves to be a formidable anti-air weapon, but the vast amount of Iglas show that the Mi-28NM is very much capable of taking care of the airspace, as it can take a maximum of 8 targets almost simultaneously. The best way to approach this role is to stay behind cover, out of sight and engage only when an enemy aircraft is spotted, being helicopter or jet. One of the main disadvantages of facing helicopters with the Igla is that most will have MAW at top tier, which will automatically pop flares and confuse the Igla; for this reason, unsuspecting opponents should be targeted, and if possible, be strafed with the autocannon.
Pros and cons
Pros:
High max speed and decent vertical climb rate when loaded (10m/s)
Arsenal of versatile weaponry against both ground and air targets
Has access to 3rd gen gunner thermals and N-025 search radar
Has access to Missile Approach Warning (MAW) system
30 mm 2A42 autocannon with APDS rounds that can penetrate MBTs
Strong cockpit armour that can withstand 12.7 mm AP rounds
Unique DIRCM system making it almost immune to IR missiles
N-025 K-band radar does not trigger RWR, with MTI scan mode capable of identifying both air and ground targets
Cons:
Sluggish airframe and irresponsive pitch
Tendency to roll right due to imbalanced lift in rotor during high-speed turns (300+ km/h)
N-025 radar lacks the 360° scan mode like the AN/APG-78 on the Apaches
Can barely stay airborne if one of its engines are damaged to or beyond orange state
Autocannon dispersion is quite large beyond 1 km range
