Right I’m sure everyone is familiar with the Superhind in the British tech tree for a South African squadron vehicle. BUT! The munitions it carries are slightly inaccurate to its real life capabilities. The superhind Mk IV is said to be capable of carrying the Mistral air-to-air missile as well as the ZT6 Mokopa’s or even the Ukrainian Baryer.
This lack of air-to-air missiles and longer range ATGM’s, hinder this helicopters performance drastically. The whole reason for the all of the improvements to the helicopter was for it to carry these armaments. I think it’s really stupid about the fact that the Mistral missiles are in the game and are in multiple vehicles, yet not for the superhind. Same with the ZT6 Mokopa, however it is only in one vehicle.
I’d be happy if we just get the Mistral missiles because it at least means that it’s somewhat of a better helicopter.
Considering its battle rating of 10.3, it faces planes such as the SU-25, MiG-23, SU-22, F-111, and potentially F-4’s. These are all planes that while yes could be taken down with the 20mil gun the superhind has, when they are out of range it just leaves you like a sitting duck
Also even helicopters such as the OH-58D, Mi-24’s, Mi-8’s, G-Lynx (and normal lynx), Mi-35, Z-9W, T129 and EC-665 all have A2A missiles. All be it, some aren’t the best, but it’s still a A2A missile.
THAT IS EVIDENCE LITERALLY FROM GOOGLE?!
