MI-8, Huey, BH and lynx flight handling

Some helicopters like the merlin are spot on, i love flying that thing. Other are ok such as the chinese transport and most of the attack helo's. I'm quite happy to research how each helicopter handles to get the most realistic outcome. Much like my first post explaining what changes the MI-8 need. I also would be more than happy to test different flight physics but i suppose there are already plenty of testers.

PR uses MI-17. I know, they look very similar, but MI-17 have tail rotor on the left side and MI-8 on the right. Thats how you can separate them.

not really, this a way to distinguish oldest versions from relatively new or modernized, but they still can be Mi-8, but with letters after, Mi-8MT or Mi-8MTKO for example, lots of machines have different designations, so its at the same time Mi-8 and Mi-17

I didn't know that, thx for info.
Anyway PR uses BF2v MI-17 model

in the pr objective files it called the MI-8, thats what i was going off. Either way what i said in my first post still applies.

The huey needs a gun like a m2 50cal or mk 19 or m240 you all know.

Yeah thats true it would be fun if thay added that to the next update.
