The Flying IFV of the Skies: the Mi-8TV
Good news for all helicopter enthusiasts, the legendary Mi-8 is coming to War Thunder! Meet the attack version of the world's most produced helicopter, armed with rockets, bombs, and even ATGMs.
Mi-8TV Features
The main advantage of this new giant is its impressive combined payload. From standard and incendiary bombs to Falanga-M ATGMs and unguided S-5K rockets - the possibilities are diverse.
- High payload capacity.
- Falanga ATGMs.
- Large size.
Combat Capabilities and Maneuverability
Despite its size and high payload capacity, the Mi-8TV is significantly faster than its predecessor, the Mi-4AV. However, its size makes it difficult to maneuver effectively and it is particularly challenging to control at high speeds. The most successful missions come from opponents who have little time to react.
Tactics and Deployment Options
Pilots should avoid flying high in the sky and instead use cover to get close when equipped with unguided rockets or bombs. Surprise attacks are often the best strategy.
Who is the Mi-8TV suitable for?
In summary, the Mi-8TV is an interesting alternative to the early Mi-24s and a must-have for any aviation enthusiast. By the way, German pilots will also have their own Mi-8! An export version capable of carrying up to 6 "Malyutka" ATGMs. Want to discover more games? Visit our page for Steam Keys!
