Currently, the Superhind is set to BR10.3 in GRB. However, given its current armament and performance, does it truly possess the capabilities befitting a BR10.3?
At present, the Superhind utilises the ZT3A2, with a maximum range of 5 km, as its primary ground-attack weapon. Furthermore, it is unable to carry AAM.
In contrast, among helicopters from other nations in BR10.3, there are models capable of using the Hellfire, which has a maximum range of 8 km, as well as those capable of carrying AAM. Compared to these, I believe the Superhind is at a disadvantage in terms of engagement range for ground attacks and its ability to counter enemy aircraft and helicopters.
Given these differences in armament, I simply cannot bring myself to believe that the Superhind is suitable for BR10.3.
Furthermore, given that the Tiger HAP is set at BR10.0, would it not be reasonable to lower the Superhind’s BR to 10.0?
Hellfires are 475m/s, ZTs 342m/s
Zoom really depends on what the carrier heli is, little bird has ~20x max, OH-58 ~37x the Superhind has ~74x, OH58 is gen 1 thermals the rest gen2 or better. Both the little bird and OH-58 have max 4 hellfires vs 8 ZTs on the hind.
The tiger HAP uses HOT-3s (max 8), 250m/s a bit more pen a little less range then the ZTs, ~92x gen2+ optics.
Hind is also the only one with HIRSS and little Bird has no IRCCM OR chaff/flares.
The HAP has MAW but only 48CMs.
stat card says 8km but trust me the hellfire gets nowhere near that, it will wobble like a dildo and miss the target if u shot it past ~5-6km which is it’s effective range. Even at 4km it will sometimes miss, its a shit missile
