How to Mi-24A?

[chicks99]

Just got this thing and tried it out in 2 matches of Ground RB, and it is garbage.

I was trying to revenge kill a person camping the edge of the map looking right into spawn (like the little B they are) who I called out for playing like a female dog, and It took me a while to spot them out from the background, by the time I did I was coming in fast and this thing CAN NOT TURN FOR ITS LIFE. I got MG'd out of the air because this thing turns worse than the object 435 around its own axis to commence the 2nd revenge obliteration run, meaning that I died to a stupid tank... Honestly a tank is better than this helicopter at fighting holy cow.

I only get 128 rockets (no AAM unlike the Mi4), is there no other way to grind for the ATGMs other than thugging it out in the least rewarding game mode in the entire game (Ground Battles)?

Also no, normally I don't revenge bomb but this person was playing like an actual degenerate, Got 11 kills by playing like a ♥♥♥♥♥ camping on the edge of the map. Was willing to shoot down his nuke too if they tried, no regrets.

How do you make the Mi-24A playable?

It’s rubbish through and through but helicopter tactics remain the same. You get falangas (decent) to snipe some spaa or something. If you first spawn use your rockets from behind enemy tanks, they’re easy to aim with CCIP. You can use them from really far (use squad marker to get a tanks position and then aim your CCIP and use salvo) or close up using cover, but it takes experience to fly more aggressively. The only way you’ll get that experience is by flying more so don’t be afraid to die.

1.Spawn
2. Flank
3. Once toure 95° do their side you stop/turn and build up speed as ypu fly towards them (stay low)
4. Look for vehicles and.once tou see them, quickly set coll to hundred and climb and shoot the sides of every vehicle you see

Bam get 3-5 kills each run

If your flank is big enough they wont hear or see you, might even mistake your sounds for an friendly helicopter

Not only is the tanks an easyer target when having their long wide side towards you, their response timw to counter tou are increased, and you will not hit with both rockets, usually killing tanks with firing one serie of rockets


Sorry for my bad explaining, i am writing on a crappy s62 catepillar :(

Whenever I fly, I don't manage to use ATGM as when flying too low, I crash, and flying too high, I get taken out by tanks and AA immediately.

When hovering, my missiles don't work as in they simply wont shoot.

Its quite difficult to get anything done with helicopters in this game really.

Your missles will only fire when they are within the tracking zone. You need to have your nose pointed towards the target

This is a good thing. If you hover you are very easy target for anyone. even tanks can laze and snipe you. Flying a helicopter is not an easy affair. much more complicated than tanking or even flying a plane, but when you are good at it it pays off very well.

I explained to you most of what I can. The rest is just experience and figuring out what works.
