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.

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.

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.

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

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.
For example USI Mi25 have 24k tris.
