ah, guys come on:
THE HIND SHOULD NOT REPLACE THE HAVOC!
it at all, it should replace the current extremly-crappy mec transport chopper.
also, the hind is quite fast, compared to the current apache version the americans use at the moment (it just little bit slower - with one and a half time the mass).
by the way, the hind is much more of a direct attack chopper than the apache - at least thats the way the soviets used them - more like a fixed wing aicraft, because hinds are not as good for sneaking and hiding like for example an apache. just give them a hell of a load of at missiles and rocket pods (by the way, even in pr you cann kill tanks/apcs from afar with the laser guided rockets)

I say just keep the Mi-28 Havoc or give MEC the Panha/Iranian Upgraded Cobra. Much more useful in terms of the scope of BF2.
read above!

I'd rather take my chances in an FAV or Jeep (for killing and transport) anyday than a Hind in PR. Armoured or not, for realism it would have to go down in one shot from a SRAW or Tank shell. Both of which would be extremly easy as the HIND would have to get upclose and personal just to see any damn targets.
no, it would not have to go down with one shot (depends on where you hit) - EVEN THE CURRENT LITTLEBIRD/BLACKHAWK DOES NOT GO DOWN WITH ONE SHOT, so the hind should be even thougher.
the hind would be even less prone for being shot down than the blackhawk, because it is better armored, it has a closed crew departement (you can shot passangers out of a blackhawk) and it could clean the landing site much better than any blackhawk, because it got a nearly 360° 20mm guun (depends on the version), plus aa/at rockets and rocketpots - also you can attack tanks from far away (why in gods name would the hind have to get up close - because of the limited viewing range? - it would still have a big advantage compared to tanks)

If the MEC got the Hind, nobody would play MEC. It sucks, just like it sucked in USI and POE2. Just like how everyone was U.S in USI and Germany in POE2. The Hind simply cannot be done in BF2.
correct me if i´m wrong, but currently in terms of choppers mec and china are way inferior to the us - the big transport helis of both, mec and china are **** compared to the blackhawk and currently they dont even got an equivalent for the littlebird.
so they could either implement the hind as a mec-blackhawk or making it just a unique kind of chopper, but leave out a little-bird replacement.

I'll say it again, if you really want MEC to have a new helicopter. Give them the Panha 2091. It's Iranian, sure the U.S stopped delivering parts but they've made their own parts for it and upgraded the old Cobras.
this would only lead to confusion ingame, also this would make the parties too much the same, wihthout their own charakter.
i would keep the mi-28, add the mi-24/35 and once enough human ressources are free perhaps even add the hokum
Ah Im not against the idea mate just concerd it would get raped by anything in the air. Yeah i no the Hind can be armed with AA missiles but i dont think they are superior plus the Apache im talking about inst the old American one its the new improved british WAH 64
i dont know the exact name of the missiles, but the russians currently have the most advanced anti-air missiles
when i was talking about the apache, i was more or less refering to the ah-64D, the american ones get updates too
