USSR has x4 helis at BR 9.7 Mi-8AMTSH, Mi-24V, Mi-24P and Ka-29. But there is nothing from 8.7-9.7 and 9.7-10.7. There are both very good ground line ups at 9.3 and 10.3, but suffer due to having to use worse BR heils such as Mi-24A in a 9.3 lineup and any of the above 9.7 heils in a 10.3 line up.
For a solution could the Mi-24V go down to BR 9.3 as it is the worst of the 4. For BR 10.3 we could get the Mi-24VM, this is a Mi-24V but with the same weapon loadout as the Mi-35M (9m36 Igla and ATAKA missiles) but without the 23mm cannons and no thermals.
