Its hard to give exact numbers, posting wire-frames and their tri count is much more helpful.
Off the top of my head I would have thought most choppers in PR are somewhere around 14-10k triangles.

Re: triss count
Yeah, it kinda depends on what exactly the model looks like. As Tim said, 14k really is the max tris you want/need on there for lod0. Going down from there it's good to aim to get lod1 to around 50-70% of lod0. For lods beyond lod1 you can really get to cutting tris, with your very last lod (lod3 and wreck lod2 in your example) being only a simple shape representation of the object, ideally only using like 100 tris or so. Same goes for wreck models.

Re: triss count
In practice the cockpit interiors and stuff will probably not be large enough to even warrant a dangerously high amount of tris. Besides, there will only ever be one 1p mesh visible to the pilots/passengers. Just keep it as low as you can while adding the necessary details.

Re: triss count
It very much depends on the object really more than anything else. This topic may help thou: https://www.realitymod.com/forum/f388-p ... rtant.html

Re: triss count
For Mi-24 it's will be hard.Most PR choppers are flying cubes,they dont't need too many triangles,even with edges smooth by miltiply tris.Mi-24 looks like a cylider,they always will have more triangels.[R-DEV]Tim270 wrote:Off the top of my head I would have thought most choppers in PR are somewhere around 14-10k triangles.
For example USI Mi25 have 24k tris.
