Hind is not as good as you think. It needs a runway to take off most of the time.

I used to drop from them in Afghanistan, not very comfortable in those chairs. The way the Mi-24 is, is like a flying BMP-3. They are old, but I hope they are replaced by the Ka-50.

Yes, good choppers, overall its historical importance is great, but it lack in performance in terms of being a helicopter. Nothing a squad of blackhawks and apaches cant do better.

All russian stuff is really made uncomfertable. But it works, it works well. THats all that really matters.

It's faster than a Blackhawk and an Apache. You'd need a Blackhawk and an Apache just to do the job of one Hind.

You were (are?) Russian airborne? Wow, never know who you might meet on the internet. My uncle was US 101st airborne and would drop from Hueys in Vietnam. You guys have way more guts than I do, glad you're still in one piece.

I've been in the Afghanistan war, the first and second Chechen war, and the South Ossetia war. I'm in the Special Forces, so I've dropped out of the Mi-24 quite a few times.

Far Out. Like I said, never know who you'll meet on the internet. I've flown some interesting birds in my time, but never been shot at. Strictly civillian aviation for me. Stay low and zig-zaggin Korsakov.

So I emailed Activision and asked them since this game is so close to release why they don't have a website or forum up yet and if they planned on doing either, here is their response.

Thank you for contacting Activision Technical Support.

In regards to future game releases and information we cannot answer any questions until the title has been released. This includes releases for websites and forums on unreleased titles as well.

For an estimated timeframe of release dates, please visit our Investors' page at http://investor.activision.com.
Or visit any other media outlet that covers videogame news.

So I went to this link and I couldn't even find anything about the game in question. It's weird to me that they haven't even started to advertise this game yet unless they know it is a niche game and won't even sell that much anyway. Thought I would just let you guys know.

Looks okay....think I'll be sticking to MOH or Black Ops, most likely Black Ops since no EA game works with my dorm internet.
