Good day

Retextured russian Mi28 Havoc chopper. Got rid off arabian letters(probably leftovers from MEC original texture...) and placed russian inscriptions as it should be. Also added some other smaller detailes from Mi28 photoreferences. Didn't touch bump map cuz it would require also retexturing other Havocs, which I can't afford timewise.

Soo, is it okay from how it looks?

Looks NIIIICE, could you put it in a bit more bright location (example: Kashan) to compare it with the photo?

Looking good man well done !

Light green could be a bit lighter. Also maybe lighten your alpha a bit to give it a bit more reflection like in your reff.

Nice! Agreed with Rabbit's comments, although idk how much more you could achieve with the specular, since BF2 doesn't handle it that well. Could be worth trying though.

I'm no expert or anything, but I think dark grey is the new color they're going for. It's the same of all the newer helis now from what I've seen, Mi28's 24's, ka 50's, 26's and so on, must be part of the ongoing modernisation. I think the dark grey hinds are flying over Crimea as well. This looks good to though.

One more think to add, the bottom in your reff is blue.

- Here are screenshots from Kashan map.
- lightened overal cammo colors a bit.
- lightened up fuselage in alpha. Anymore and it would look like a mirror, so...






I color picked bottoms and others from refs like these, it doesn't seem to look that much blueish.

About the cammo patterns. Yeah lots of choppers (if not half) in Ru airforce now have solid grey colors, it was issued by previous minister of defence. But current new minister of defence cancelled that, though didn't actually order to recolor them again instantly, rather wait until the planned paint update that happens every 6 or 10 years, and then recolor them back to woodland. So both grey and woodland colorations are true. Russia will now have quite a different cammo patterns for its choppers for the next I guess 10 years.

VNice

I see, a pitty the grey camo was canceled, looks amazing. Either way, good work on these.
