Squadron Vehicles: Super Hind
At a glance:
The legendary Mi-24 Crocodile has received a noticeable upgrade in the form of the new Super Hind and is especially optimized for Ground Battles, featuring all new tandem ATGMs. In addition to this, South African engineers completely redesigned the front part of the Mi-24, where a sighting system and 20 mm autocannon with boxes for belts are located. Lets take a look at this new squadron vehicle coming to the Firebirds major update!
After starting out with familiar rockets found on the Mi-24, such as the default S-8KO (of which there are 80) and S-24, the Super Hind is able to unlock up to eight INGWE anti-tank guided missiles. If youve ever used the South African ZT3A2 Ratel vehicle, youll be familiar with these missiles. Theyre powerful and are located under the Super Hinds wings and can engage targets up to 5 km away with pinpoint accuracy thanks to the help of excellent optics, speed and resistance to jamming. So, once they hit, what kind of damage can you expect? A lot! This missile can punch through 1000 mm of armor, and combining this with the tandem warhead means theres not much that can withstand a hit from the INGWE. Did you know? INGWE is the Zulu word for Leopard, its quite a rare sight to see a Leopard and a Crocodile working together in harmony!
The standard machine gun mounted in the nose of many Soviet Mi-24 models has been replaced with a rapid-firing 20 mm GI2 cannon equipped with AP rounds. These are highly effective for destroying light targets at close range, and can even punch through the roof of many MBTs. The cannon is fully traversable and can lock onto targets accurately even while performing maneuvers. While the Super Hind is an adept hunter when it comes to ground vehicles, it cant boast as much ability when confronted with airborne threats. This helicopter cant carry any air-to-air missiles, so it must rely on its vast array of countermeasure systems and autocannon with automatic target tracker to fend off enemies in the air. While it lacks offense in this area, its thankfully not lacking in defense, being equipped with a large number of chaff and flares, exhaust screen suppressors, and optical-electronic jamming systems.
Like other squadron vehicles, the Super Hind can be obtained for free by playing the game while in a squadron and earning activity points. Though, if you cant wait to fly this South African Croc, you can always purchase it directly with Golden Eagles. The Super Hind will be available in the next major update at rank VI in the British helicopter tree, where it will complement IFVs and the early Challenger 1 MBTs nicely in lineups.
Thats all for today! We hope you look forward to giving this helicopter a spin in the Firebirds update, until then, keep checking in for more devblogs and happy hunting! Please note that this vehicles characteristics may be changed before it is added to the game.

War Thunder is a free-to-play, cross-platform MMO combat game for Windows, Linux, Mac and PlayStation®4 dedicated to military vehicles used in and around World War II and the Korean War. In War Thunder, you can take part in major battles on land, in the air, and at sea, fighting with real players from all over the world in a continuously developing environment.
War Thunder already offers a highly detailed experience in military aviation and ground forces combat, giving players access to a Guinness World Record breaking number of aircraft, as well as an abundance of tanks and other combat vehicles - and the number is constantly rising.
You can feel the unmatched intensity of aerial dogfights in a fighter, the decisive power of commanding a heavy strategic bomber or the heat of battle in a ground attacker, delivering precision strikes against your enemies. Alternatively, you can join the spearhead of armoured vehicles, fighting for dominance over the battlefield on the ground: Man a heavy tank with impressive armour and firepower, use the maneuverability of a medium or light tank to your advantage, or support your team by screening the skies with your anti aircraft vehicle - the choice is yours!
In the future, the game will also allow players to ‘set sail’ by commanding a variety of warships in the fight over the control of the world’s oceans, giving the game a truly epic scale.
Master your vehicles through both upgrades and personal experience in an environment that is constantly expanding and rewarding the personal skill of the player. Organise your efforts in one of the countless player squadrons and become an ace pilot or tanker - or both! Our thriving and welcoming community of millions of players is also actively participating in the game’s ongoing development, offering custom content through War Thunder Live, such as skins, missions and even vehicles.
War Thunder has something for everyone. Play cooperative games with your friends on Windows PC, Linux, Mac or PlayStation 4 against AI, or squad up for a PvP battle in a difficulty setting matching your play style, ranging from Arcade to Simulator using Mouse and Keyboard, Gamepad or Joystick.
