Incorrect about hunter being scary. He is fucking terrifying. That dude in any given match will fuck shit up. If you’re pretty familiar with War Thunder content creators, you’d know who is the best at what. Defyn is a brilliant pilot, Oddballz is a great tanker, Sylph R is amazing CAS user, Smigol is just Smigol that guy pulls some of most jaw dropping insane trick shots I’m not even sure if he’s still sane or not. But Hunter? That guy is a beast with everything he touches, he’s a menace to the entire lobby. He’s like the Chuck Norris of War Thunder. An incarnation of John Wick. What makes Hunter a true legend though is the fact that he has been dealing with cancer for the greater part of a year, yet he still pumps out quality videos of just pure gamesmanship. The patience and dedication that man has to the game and to the War Thunder community is criminally under appreciated.
Two helicopters I would want to see one day are the Mi-14 and Mi-17. The former is an ASW derivative of the Mi-8, while the latter is a more military focused development of the Mi-8.
Had issues with the helicopters as well. Turn on cyclic switching of radar in options under aircraft. Bind the buttons “select radar target to lock on” and “lock target” under weaponry in helicopters. “Select target…” will switch through the radar contacts. “Lock…” will lock your targeting system on (like it does when you sight stabilize on a target). It saves you several seconds of target acquisition. Pretty crazy stuff.
The verba has a proxy fuse and a better seeker plus range. The launch box on the ataka isn't small it is average but the camera can rotate a full 360 making it seem small. You can turn the helicopter around and still track someone. This thing is missing DIRCM (the things which blind seeker heads). The radar is only useful when play sim or squadron battles. This thing should have 8 ataka, 8 verba and 40 rockets but gaijin changed it before the live server. There should be 3 pilots and 2 door gunners
Thanks for covering this. You are the only CC who has covered this so far lmao. I chose to grind this because it was much easier to get this than ka52. It got them verba but the missile loadout is severely lacking and FM is a real struggle in top tier.
btw the verba missile is INSANELY strong. its the best man portable air defense system in the world. so obviously gaijin had to nerf it a lot in order to add it to the game
@@hanz2035no it is one of the best, it has 3 different seekers heads for the missile in real life, it has great range. It is very easy to use and has been use extensively on Ukraine. The proxy fuse helps it even more
The radar is actually very useful, it’s easier if you keep cyclic target switching on. Also the radar will only see moving targets, which is important to remember. You can use the Y menu if you don’t want to bind keys for the radar
I know I'm late to the comments but you need to change radar search modes from GMTI to A-G in order to track non moving ground targets. GMTI tracks moving targets.
2:26 I think it’s because well me personally the Mi-8AMTSh ended up being a bit of a let down due to its many short comings when hoping for the better variant of the Mi-8 just for it to be terrible and not get better but instead now have to grind a new helicopter which already takes a while as it is
20:50, they should a repair feature similar to tanks but instead of repair maybe reboot the weapons system because irl being offline/damaged doesnt necessarily mean it cant work again
What's the control called that allows you to change where that red box is before you fire a missile? I got a Heli, last night but Can't figure out how to reposition that box because I don't know what it's called and when I shoot my missile it just goes straight into the sky.
I have played every single Russian tech tree heli besides the Ka-52 (working on the Mi-28NM) and this thing. Hopefully this video makes me less dismayed at the thought of playing it
Almost all helicopters can do the gps coordinates but only the ka-52 is able to display the range of rockets depending on helicopter angle so it’s not possible to do accurate lobbing with other helicopters. It does work somewhat on Apache but you have to line up the rocket ccip with the box and spray and pray since you have no idea if your over or under leading by a decent margin. It is easy to hit bases with rockets though using indirect fire but again tanks are hard to hit with anything other than the 52
I think it's really cool having this Mi-8 in the game, it's the best looking and also with much better optics than the previous ones, but the weapons they gave it are just sad, instead of what it has at the moment it should get the same loadout as the normal Mi-8AMTSh, just with Verba instead of Igla and Ataka instead of Shturm.
outta topic should I get the ztz96a 10.3 premium while it is on sale to go with the event vehicle , because I have 0 Chinese vehicles besides the last event vehicle for china that is at 7.7? and hunter is what I think I will look like in cas but just get shot down in 2 minutes
i now the problem whit getting hit 1 time in the frame and you can´t use the gun ore missel it is the same way by lynx in the normal teck tree not the premium one
Believe or not I still remember you Dominik Ries, 4 years ago you told me that if I came to Europe someday you are able to invite me to your house, and you said that you have a room for guests. God bless you man, happy new year for you and the family. Kindness is the greatest among all virtues, and I don't forget kind people, I even pick my favorite WT CCs depending mainly on their kindness with the community, with the viewers and how they reply to comments, skill comes later as a secondary factor.
You are the only person so far after he dev server to make a video on this. Also can you replay this once they give it 8 ataka, 8 verba, 40 s8 and dircm, or when it gets door gunners
Another reason why people arent play this or helis in general is the stupid new modules for helis like the fcs. Far as i know only apaches and the ka52 has them modelled so all other helicopters get their fuselage damaged and they cant return fire which is so dumb
I don't like the new Mi-8. You hardly have any options to defend yourself against planes. Only 4 AAMS and then you can only take 4 AGMs with you. They should move the 4 AAMS one weapon slot inwards, that would be a fair improvement.
Sprut gets top tier 3BM60!? at 10.0?!?!?!! Yet M1 Abrams at 10.7 get m774 at BEST, a 9.0 round Not to mention the dog**** XM150E5 APFSDS for mbt-70 and xm803, which is worse then then almost every APDS you face at 9.3 to 10.3.
@R4FSAN ka-52 can carry 16 Hermes missiles... Inertial and/or radio-command guidance during the cruise phase, transitioning to semi-active laser homing in the terminal phase. Almost 20km of range... Would give the Russians a spike equivalent I guess
@@R4FSAN not quite, lmur is guided by the operator that's seeing everything the missile sees. Thus mi-28 would be able to sit behind 10 cliffs, lob lmurs above him and guide them in without ever showing himself on the radars
Happy new year eve Justin enjoy today tank commander see u in 2025 I'm just by curiosity is there a top tier tank that u really want into the game because for me one tank that I have yet to see in the game is the Ukrainian t-84
Cause this Helicopter is a fat boy and moves like turtle when trying to dodge incoming fire AAM and ATGMs. The thing is slow and hits the Reduce speed faster than you would like. Its just so BIG and can be spoted pretty quick. This helicopter is like the Mi-4AV but just a hair better and I don't know anyone that really enjoys the Mi-4AV the pregnant fat helicopter that slow AF. Also at 11.0 there's WAY better helicopters to bring out that have Vikhrs that are the fastest ATGM for all the helicopters and sorry this Helicopter is lacking in quite a few departments.
Love the Hunter shoutout, he is indeed a scary player. I find his plays stylish and classy

I’ve gone toe to toe with Hunter he’s a awesome player
@@boogieyib1773not mentioning cavenub, bad karma, kai_tg and bpa jon is crazy
Good CAS players are almost unkillable. I don’t even spawn spaa anymore I just leave if there’s a su-34 or f-15e
Remember that they only show their best videos they also get spanked also bpa Jon is another example he is very good with tanks but not invincible
A shoutout from Justin let's go! 😎
Thanks my friend, you are legend, best tank commander in the army. ✌
Hunter!
Two helicopters I would want to see one day are the Mi-14 and Mi-17. The former is an ASW derivative of the Mi-8, while the latter is a more military focused development of the Mi-8.
Knowing they're developmental variants of the Mi-8, these two vehicles would probably be either premiums or battle pass vehicles.
Had issues with the helicopters as well.

AI on the RWR is Aerial Intercept... So an aircraft radar but cant tell which one it is.
Combo video idea: The C2A1 and the East German MiG-23BN.
You've got my vote.
Thanks for covering this. You are the only CC who has covered this so far lmao. I chose to grind this because it was much easier to get this than ka52. It got them verba but the missile loadout is severely lacking and FM is a real struggle in top tier.

Why do I feel a war brewing about this comment
Lmao sure buddy, I’m sure your very trustworthy kremlin source can verify that
That sounds a lot like propaganda. I suppose that it is like any other "super strong" Russian stuff and either shit or mid at best.
@@hanz2035no it is one of the best, it has 3 different seekers heads for the missile in real life, it has great range. It is very easy to use and has been use extensively on Ukraine. The proxy fuse helps it even more

Click F on pc 😊idk the name of control tho lol
Sight stabilization or set target point. Both do the same thing. You may have to switch the menu to common controls to find it
I have played every single Russian tech tree heli besides the Ka-52 (working on the Mi-28NM) and this thing. Hopefully this video makes me less dismayed at the thought of playing it
I wish they added the version with the new LMUR missiles. 25kg HE warhead, 14km range and is fire and forget.
That would mean the AGM-114L would have to be added
LMUR and LMUR-M would be insanely op if added right now. Kh-MD-E might be more reasonable
is it possible to do rocket lobbing with this heli? i saw "Loner" doing it with a Ka-52 at more than 3km
Not sure if it has the GPS capability to select the areas of the tank map as an aircraft which he used.
Almost all helicopters can do the gps coordinates but only the ka-52 is able to display the range of rockets depending on helicopter angle so it’s not possible to do accurate lobbing with other helicopters. It does work somewhat on Apache but you have to line up the rocket ccip with the box and spray and pray since you have no idea if your over or under leading by a decent margin.

Whats the name of the custom sight used on the 2s25m??
Some people that are also quite scary is Panzerstein, and Ruski9000.
i now the problem whit getting hit 1 time in the frame and you can´t use the gun ore missel it is the same way by lynx in the normal teck tree not the premium one
Where do i find these lobbies every time i play cas or heli i get sniped through treetops and from 12 km away
I was one of the first watchers of Hunter and he deserves all the love! Great Guy.

can you make a video whit che german tiger UHT?
the new verba is way better than the igla because the igla had its proxy fuze removed
Even around 10.0 I prefer the Ka-29. Looks like a stubbed toe but I think it’s better than the other Mi-8’s
Excuse my ignorance can you play this single player vs PC opponent? Or is it all online against other people?
You have Heli PVE mode (you and somepeople vs the computer) but only for helicópters as far as i know
how many hours do you have on wt?
It really sucks that it can only carry 4 atakas and 4 verbas. Id rather play the Mi35M
or the Mi-28N that is on the same BR, Mi-35 is even lower
This would be more suited for 10.7 the mi35m has much performance at 10.7
You are the only person so far after he dev server to make a video on this. Also can you replay this once they give it 8 ataka, 8 verba, 40 s8 and dircm, or when it gets door gunners
Hunter reference 🙌
Laser warning on the ataka?
Yeah
CV90 Mk.4 next?

finally mi8 gaming
Love ur vids man
I got my f5 and your Justin face is on it❤ not a 3% discount but I got a nice decal❤❤❤

it is sigma yes! sigma is not brainrot 😠
We need the HERMES-A for the KA's!!!

ayo ataka eeeh that gonna hurt ataka cas at 9.0 plus s80ks its a misssle buss

Play wombo combo Begle panzer and de Alpha jet
also heli grind sucks so bad it is the worst vehicle type to grind
