The Mil Mi-24 (NATO reporting name: Hind) is a large helicopter gunship, attack helicopter and low-capacity troop transport with room for eight passengers. It is produced by Mil Moscow Helicopter Plant and has been operated since 1972 by the Soviet Air Force and its successors, along with more than 30 other nations. In NATO circles, the export versions, Mi-25 and Mi-35, are denoted with a letter suffix as "Hind D" and "Hind E". Soviet pilots called the Mi-24 the "flying tank" (letayushchiy tank), a term used historically with the famous World War II Soviet Il-2 Shturmovik armored ground attack aircraft. More common unofficial nicknames were "Crocodile" (Krokodil), due to the helicopter's camouflage scheme and "Drinking Glass" (Stakan), because of the flat glass plates that surround earlier Mi-24 variants' cockpits.
TO FLY: Pitch up to tilt forward and fly forwards
Pitch down to tilt back and fly backwards
Includes a VSPU undernose turret carrying a Yak-B machine gun with realistic azimuth of 60 degress to the sides (Trim), 20 degrees elevation, and 60 degrees depression (VTOL).
Here's the exact same helicopter but in a desert livery for those who like to fly around Maywar: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/2Txv8T/Mi-24-Desert

    @Flash0of0green Oh yeah that's normal, but at high speeds it does nosedive. I'll try to fix that (and probably end up reuploading the improved version) but I have no clue how

    Not particularly sure, the issues I kept on running into is to even get the thing moving forward I had to pitch too far forward and then end of the nosediving. If you don't end up adjusting the pitch you may want to write in some instructions on how exactly you intend for it to fly.@IStoleYourMeme

    @Flash0of0green I get what you're saying about the roll, but how should the pitch be adjusted?

    has some stibility issues The role sensitivity needs to be scaled back a bit and the pitches to be adjusted/fin tuned. @IStoleYourMeme
