BF2S Forums Mi-35 Hind... WHAT THE HELL?

I fell you man the Hind is worthless . It feels like it's just simply broken lol . All slow , cluggy pos control . You don't even have uber armour to kind of balance things out . You still get wasted by AA like your flying a paper air plane . And to top it off the big thick bars that run across the glass is just fucking annoying as hell . Hate that chopper to death . Never use it at all lol .

Press F9.....u Wont See Any More Bars.....

Learn how to fly.  I've had no problems taking out other people in Apaches while flying the Hind.  It just takes practice.  I actually think all of the choppers in this game have been screwed to make them easier for noobs to fly.  None of them turn while in a hover worth a crap.  Go try to fly a chopper in Desert Combat.  That took skill.  I miss how sensitive the controls were.  Especially with the littlebirds.  Also the choppers in this game are meant as more of a weapons platform.  You're supposed to be lining up your gunner on good ground targets, not flying between buildings at 150MPH like a jackass.  I like that though when I'm in a tank.  Go ahead and fly low so I can get in a good round with the main gun.

Oh yeah the guy whining about the thick bars in the cockpit of the Hind.  Um.  All you have to do is hit "C" once and all of the cockpit crap goes away.  This works on all choppers.  Be careful not to hit it twice though as it goes to a third person camera view.

Roffelcakes, my thoughts exact.

My issue is not so much shooting targets (I find it a lot harder) but moreso you are at the mercy of AA when it's so difficult to do quick dodging maneuvers or fly away quickly. If its controls are so much more sluggish it should at least take more of a pounding than the Apache which it doesn't.

If you're relying on being able to dodge AA then you're screwed even in the Apache.  As far as getting away from an area quickly, its very easy if you're flying the Hind right.  You should NOT be flying nap of the earth in the Hind normally.  You should be flying high and level lining up your gunner for shots.  You should not be strafing everything in sight with your missles.  Save those for encounters with other choppers.  Also you should be on some kind of voice com with your gunner.  Also you and your gunner should know where all of the AA placements on a map are and should be going by and destroying them on a regular basis.  If you do find a FAV or Vodnic firing at you you can sacrifice your altitude for speed and get away very quickly.  If you're low to the ground to begin with then you can't and you're screwed.  Flying near the ground is a very bad idea anyhow unless you are moving extremely fast as you will be a perfect target for tanks.  If you take any substantial damage (1/3 or more is my rule of thumb) immediately hightail it back to your pad for repairs.  I have been able to last from the beginning to the round to the end of the round on Surge and Ghosttown for sure.  Maybe some others too.

It maneuvers like shit but if you guys actually stuck around and took fire and didn't run away you yould find it has very good armor. Thi smakes up for it's cow likeness.

Hind has more armor than the Apache btw. Least it did before 1.2. I haven't really tested it since then.

they have made the handling better in patch 1.3 and ya i know what ur talking about it SUCKS at flying the piece of cardboard shit.

The handeling is proberbly perfect compared to the Eurocopter.
