We are happy to announce a new vehicle type - combat helicopters! The AH-1F and Mi-24 Hind are coming to War Thunder in update 1.81!
AH-1F
The AH-1F is the most capable modification of the single-engined “Cobra”. Tankers close your hatches - the AH-1F is coming to War Thunder in update 1.81!
AH-1G gunships proved themselves in the war in Vietnam, however required specifications were increasing. A high-scale modernization program was launched and a whole new line of new models was developed. The last and the most perfect single-engined version of the “Cobra” was the AH-1F. This helicopter included the best design features - a more powerful engine, perspective navigational and electronic equipment. The armament consisted of a three-barrel rotary cannon - the General Electric M197 mounted on an Emerson Electric TAT-141 (M79E1) turret with 750 round ammo load. Additionally, the Cobra can be equipped with up to 8 TOW ATGM’s, machine gun pods or unguided air-to-surface rockets. These gunships were actively used in the Gulf War in 1991.
Mi-24 Hind
The Mi-24 Hind is one of the most iconic Soviet aircraft of the Cold War and is one of the most produced and widely used assault helicopters in the world. One variant of the legendary Hind that will make it to War Thunder with update 1.81, is the Mi-24V - a late 1970s modification that significantly upgraded the Hind’s combat capabilities!
Work on the Mi-24 began in the early 1960s, with engineers at the Mil design bureau coming to the realisation that helicopters capable of both transporting troops and materiel as well as being able to provide fire support, are gaining an ever increasing importance with new combat doctrines focusing on battlefield mobility. The Mi-24V is a further development of the Mi-24, that entered production in 1976. The V modification most notably introduced the 9M114 “Shturm” guided missiles to the Hind’s arsenal, which in turn significantly increased its hit probabilities and destructive power. In its decade-long production (1976 - 1984), around 1,000 Mi-24Vs were produced, eventually becoming the most produced version of the Hind.

That's a wierd looking Skink...
They are going to release Top Tier later
this again
YES YES YES YES NOW TAKE MY WALLET I WANT MI 24D PREMIUM
im so happy, i've been playing this game since 2015 and im so glad to see your guys work progressing, the cobra has always been my favorite btw
Thanks and you are welcome :)
I hope you guys are going to fix the major imbalance in ground forces BR 9.3–9.7. The T-64 can't possibly compete with the 2A4 and Type 90 which are much more modern designs.
Really nice, can't wait to test them !
So sad to see such severe neglect for the aircraft portion of the game. Let's be real, this is a tank-centric release. Aviation has long since lost pace with the rest of the game as later and later content has been rushed out. There is SO much progress to make up on the aircraft side, and yet, update after update we see something else. NEW TANKS! BOATS! MORE BETTER NEW TANKS! HELICOPTERS! and yet... usually little but what is seen by many as a token gesture towards pilots...
Technically a helicopter is a type of aircraft...
i would also like to point out that Gaijin is currently wrangling with the issues involved with guided weaponry, which were seeing the beginning of implementation here. Obviously any jets more modern then what we have now will have guided weapons as main armament, as it was in real life. and also cause hitting super sonic aircraft with bullets is gonna be super difficult, as shooting range guy always sys, "be patient"
*BO1 flashbacks intensify*
gulag?
Apost0, no, *Vorkuta*
They are really nice! But where is my M1A1 with that big smoothbore 120mm ?? :)))
Still waiting for F-100/101/102/104/105/106, F-4, A-4, MiG-19+
NotLessOrEqual, DONT WORRY FAGJIN IS TOO FUCKING BUSY WITH HELIS TO ADD LATER ERA JETS 😠😠😠😠
OMG I want the Hind so much :)
you should start from more early designs and make whole tree branch of helicopters starting from FL185 FW61 all the way up to this.. also can we expect Eurocopter Tiger for germans
