Ah one of the vehicles that you MUST PLAY in a custom battle with instant reload. Seeing these thing fly backwards at 800kph is a sight to behold. It's almost as fun as using a derp gun in said instant reload server too
The Hind is probably the most terrifying vehicle you could ever see suddenly appear on a battlefield. If you don't have a surface to air missile; You are the pray, and its getting closer.
Bold of you to assume it will be seen before you're dead
bold of you to assume that the MG3 alone won't be able to bring it down
Mi24 comes in too fast, can't turn enough and slams into the ground
Meh, it's a below-average gunship in all practicality. It was never really utilized in its intended purpose as a troop transport hybrid. I mean yeah, ground troops should fear ANY gunship without anti-air, but the Hind is nothing particularly special.
i think the mujahideen in Afghanistan called them “Satan’s Chariots” or something along that
The chin turret is specifically why I prefer the hind V over the P. The flexibility of the chin turret was something that I really enjoyed on the hind D in the early days of helis being added to the game. After I get all of the modifications for the V I will try the P out and see if I can master the fixed gun.
The chin mounted gun does nothing to tanks in GRB. 30mm fixed gun looks really cool though
@@ElvisRocking1 my personal take on it is if you're close enough to use the gun you're not doing it right. If you have the option to stay away and with missiles and some lucky rocket shots go ahead and do that. That's not to say that it doesn't have utility for killing lightly armored vehicles but that gun is mainly for infantry suppression rather than outright killing armor. The 30 mm however does hit like a freight train when it comes in contact with anything so that is an upside.
It's purpose is to instant kill enemy aircraft if you can hit them, even ka50's don't survive, if you need an easier to control and to conserve ammo, there's a key binding to lower fire rate
@@HEATSEEKR if you're using your gun then it means your a beast and not a coward hiding on the outside
@@cristobalalvarez5491 you mean like this? czcams.com/video/1UBusZvgUVk/video.html
I grinded the havoc without the Ka50 out of sheer spite for Ka50 players (I went on to buy one on a sale with the TURMS but never mind that!). I spaded all of the Hind variants in the soviet tree and excluding the top tier helis with their ultra advanced ATGMs, the hind is the best heli in the game. It really lives up to its reputation and almost never lets you down. Not to mention its probably the most intimidating warmachine ever designed. Awesome heli would recommend.
Ah1g at 8.0 but yeah the hind is the tankers night mare from 9.0 to 9.7 and the ah1g from 8.0 to 9.0
@@cristobalalvarez5491 so the ah1g gets better?
@@tinyzinc7344 the ah1g is like the hind of 7.0 to 9.0
@@cristobalalvarez5491 I couldn’t tell it is still nearly stock. I am having trouble getting anywhere with it.
9:06 another great landing option is landing it in the fixed wing aircraft style. The preferred method of the Soviet hind pilots.
10:23 it is, but only until you start using this cannon against tanks sides or IFVs. It just melts the ground targets when you hit them right. The trick is to turn on CCIP and slow down a little bit during your approach, as it greatly improves your yaw authority.
Gonna have to disagree with your assessment of the 30mm cannon, paired with ccip it gets on said cannon it makes a monstrous combo for facing light vehicles or the direct side of tanks.
Its got more firepower, but I tend to use heli guns more for scouting than destruction, so having it fixed-mounted is a downgrade for me.
In the end, is personal preference.
@@TimsVariety fair enough, personal doctrine first and all that but damn is it satisfying just removing a light vehicle or mbt from the match with it. Used to get some hate mail for it back before the chat got yeeted. Always made me chuckle.
Great heli with really good cannon compared to previous 50cal helis
wish they can add the premium Mi-24D back to the soviet tree
Jesus how did I manage to get CZcams to display 0 seconds ago for a video upload?
You were fast like lightning dude!
Just stumbled onto your channel, great videos man!
Daum got at 13 seconds also i love this heli
It's fun to early spawn the hind with dumbfires + max R60 loadouts so you can act as a flying SAM site. Early CAS generally doesn't expect there to be an R60 flying up their rear from outside the map.
playing rn and cas at ANY point doesnt expect anything and just dies from the r60s
Nice review, really enjoyed the footage of a bomb run.
Looking forwards to seeing how the PVE game mode works for helicopters. This is one of the helicopters that would be really fun to fly in it.
My personal verdict, the Hind could withstand damage from some of the SPAA (VADS and Sgt. York), it's speed will really help to cross the long battlefield, weapons can definitely damage enemies, but these fucking base Rolands are annoying af, just avoid flying near bases
Now with heli PVE coming I’ll finally be able to unlock it wihh the out getting nuked by Ka50s lol!
Now instead of them nuking you, they nuke your targets instead leaving you with no activity
@@piscessoedroen at least there are fast heli's and helis with long range or high speed agms, that won't suffer as much. Mi4's will still struggle but all of the mi24's,Apache's, tigers, ah1f etc are getting a massive boost
@@piscessoedroen Dont worry, i have 9 million SLs and intense visceral hatred for Ka50 players; I'll TK them all first
@@DrSabot-A can you even tk in arcade?
@@piscessoedroen In air? I recall being able to, but that was back in 2014. I havent played arcade since, so i cant wait to test it
Hey Tim. Just a quick tip you can turn on manual control mode for hellis in the quick action tabs or in the settings for a quick key bind. It helps control the helicopter while flying in a straight line or strafing a target.
i have this in dcs, and as a fixed wing ww2 pilot with no pedals, it is HELL to fly well
The R-60M should be noted too, you can easily kill jets in it, esp. With manual controll mode.
i got the german Premium to grind the UHT whit my friend and we love it we get on avrege 3-5 kills and some assist
Last time i played i got 5 kills and 2 assist and join in again and got then 2 kills and 4 assist.
It is just pure love
Love the videos keep up the good work
Love your reviews, Tim. Please make a review of GR 91, if possible
Nice video!
I love the Mi-24 series it's one of my favorite attack helicopters and I still love using them even though they aren't meta anymore
These are totally meta at 9.7. They’re way more versatile than the Gazelle, ah-1 and Lynx. Just no thermals.
It actually now also has CCIP for bombs. They added that some months ago. Also they changed some loadout options so there is more variety.
Boss get down! That's an enemy gunship! A single burst from its machine gun can cut a man in half. Stay low and crawl along the ground. That should enable you to sneak past enemies.
my PTSD come back from trying to capture it in metal gear solid peace walker
I like the new thumbnail style. I think you should do more like this.
Wait ... "combat service on every continent, but antarctica"? .... when did it see combat in North America and/or Australia?
This is what I was wondering too.
Can you do reviews for some of the ww2 era premium aircraft like the fw-190D13
It got it yesterday with the 30% discount to grind the Tiger faster
Hey Tim, I know its out of the realm of my knowledge, but have you considered trying to get an in game decal? I would absolutely love to have a Tims Variety decal on my tank or aircraft. Great video as always.
I mentioned this in, I think, my 10k subs video. A few have asked about it, and I asked gaijin - the TLDR is that my channel is still too small, the in-game decal level of partnership is "invite only" without set requirements.
@@TimsVariety With the quality of your content, I believe it's only a matter of time before your crest adorns most of my garage. Keep up the good work!
TimsVarienty hits different when you are playing WT
Can you please take a look at the gazelle French helicopters please
There are way to many Soviet aircraft called the flying tank
now im waiting for mi 35 review
"The flying tank" when it meets my 150mm apfsds round from my xm803
Manual Roll Control is almost mandatory for the hinds lest you maneuver the wrong way and death roll into the ground.
I really like both 9.7 hind but i feel like they are less and less useful with how many SAM we have around 10.0 now
So there isnt exactly a western counterpart, but id say the Huey Gunships and some Blackhawks could do something very similar
The difference being, "not at the same time". With other helicopters, its generally one role or the other rather than both at once.
It's the MI24 the heli that has so long and flexible rotor wings it can chop of its own tail of you throw it around too violently?
Historically the Hind was (and is) armoured against 23mm shells anywhere. It's survivability in game is a bit lacking. Still my favorite helicopter
Not sure about other variants, but the Hind P is the variant available in DCS, and I can attest to it being armored against .50 / 12.5mm, but not cannon rounds.
I mean this is a game where it feels like Apache's aren't able to survive a .22lr
Wrong. The cockpit can withstand 12.7 mm and certain vital areas protect up to 20 mm low-velocity rounds.
It's a speedy beast
Just an fyi. I believe it was in service with Czechs. But at the very least Czechoslovakia armed their Hinds with 240mm rockets. Same rockets were equipped on planes mostly. But once these rockets are in then this will be interesting in the game. I wonder if they will be powerful enough to effectively use against bases?
The Russian Helis are so strong, especially compared to other helis in other trees :g
Tim could we get a review of the Shenyang F-5?
I’ve always wondered how good it is.
Have a good night/day Tim!
When I get around to doing a "family" vid on the Mig-17, it will be included.
@@TimsVariety alright sounds good.
Is it not possible to lock onto tanks is ur only tool sight stabilization
Gotta love the Soviet Flying Brick
It's a shame the Hinds can't even survive 30 cals in game whilst in afghan the thing tanked 50s
Omfg it feels so weird having switched to dcs i still love watching your vids but this is my favorite module in dcs and is the most fun heli to fly or do co pilot in. Lol just a shame you cant do sling loading or troop transport in war thunder. Or downed pilot rescue
I still prefer the G-Lynx for its manoeuvrability but I do look forward to Chinese helis shame it didn't come for this upcoming patch.
Someone has to ask. Why didn't you move when the gepard was shooting, moving while hovering or turning of hover is cool
Showing the speed of the missile relative to incoming fire. It took me **hours** to get footage of someone shooting at me while I had a missile in flight lol.
Satan's chariot is a awesome band name.
this beast is designed for literally all situacions, and you can play it basicly as a damm plane, and you have the armor to tank, ideally you want to play it as a sniper, taking advantage of the armor so you can ignore high caliber damage
Could you review the american f-100d ?
Its on the "medium term" list.
god helicopters are so cool, and i love this vid, but helicopters in WT feel a bit of an afterthought in battles
2:19 aussie hinds?
I have a question? What is the top difference in the R24t and r24r? I know the r24r is radar tracking and the r24t doesn't need it but does that make the r24t worse?
The short answer is, of course, the tracking and guidance.
The SARH version can lock-on farther away than the IR version, and tracks more reliably IF you can maintain the radar lock .. but the IR version doesn't rely on you to maintain the lock and is "fire and forget" ... my personal preference is the R-24T, but opinions are split about which one is better.
@@TimsVariety Well since the mla will be coming ill try them out
@@Sxmexnee In my opinion they're both very good weapons, it just depends on your personal style. Some folks prefer SARH missiles, some prefer IR.
@@TimsVariety Ok thank you very much this will be my first Mig23 so i was just looking for help what and what not to use this seems very helpful to me if there both useful i guess i just use both
If you want to spot with thr gun or not bullet hose people, decrease the fire rate.
Just wondering, how the hell did you grind out the Mi-24P from the Mi-4AV?
Or did you just ask gaijin for a test drive?
Its the German premium 24P which is the same as the other 2 tech tree Mi24Ps.
For the Soviet one and german premium, testdrives. For the German one, "the hard way".
This video contains footage of all 3.
@@TimsVariety Ah, I stand corrected then. Definitely a good vehicle to bring and 9.7 is an enjoyable br in my opinion. Both Russia and Germany have great 9.7 lineups, with the caveat being you need event vehicles and premiums.
@@TimsVariety ah, thank you for responding
Not sure that's how that's the Ukrainian emblem on the Mi-24? Why wasn't the Soviet or Russian emblem used, or to be really creative the Canadian or Mexican emblem used?
a bit outdated: the optics are 3.3x-10x now
Wouldn't a Western counterpart be a Huey? It fits the list
Generally no, as the Huey needed a dedicated conversion to operate as a gunship which limited its rear compartment. It wasn't able to carry troops AND be a gunship at the same time.
wish grinding helis was easy
Imo this version of the Hind is preferable for grinding the Russian tree, over the Mi-24V and even the Mi-35. That 30mm is a nice backup when you’re out of rockets, at least when you’re playing tank assault/the upcoming heli PvE mode. With enough practice you can get pretty good at melting other helis with it lol
good for some gun sniping in my experience
more like lore
All Mi-24Ps in-game have ability to carry R-60M/MKs, R-60 isn't best option.
It's not "heavy" helicopter it's is a universal helicopter
I didn’t expect such a moment that the author uses the flag of Ukraine on a helicopter
Wheres muh Manpad
Every continent, including oceania?
(Not a serious jab, just a joke)
It's seen combat use in North America? What happened there?
It saw extensive combat operations during the civil war in Nicaragua.
Could u domherre f104g?
czcams.com/video/X4PzP8hkQdY/video.html
is that a Ukrainian flag i saw? I approve this detail :)
quick review?
I do two types of reviews "quick" reviews which are generally about 10 minutes, and "detailed" reviews which are generally 15-25.
You rely waaaaay too much on hover mode I never ever use it in any Heli or even the VTOL jets
Early squad
no thermal at 9.7 is terrible.
Chad 🇺🇦🇺🇦 flag on Hind haha
At least until the current invasion is over, any modern-ish Russian vehicle I cover will be getting a bit of a paintjob.
Haters can just cope, and deal with it.
