Before each mission, the formidable Mi-24 Hind (also known as the \u2018flying tank\u2019) can be customised with different skins and weapon sets depending on the mission parameters and goals. Two weapons can be equipped on the wings, in addition to a machine gun mounted on the front of the helicopter, and players can choose from an arsenal of deadly weaponry including UPK 23 machine guns, GUV gun pods, FAB bombs and various rockets and missiles.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p>When piloting the helicopter, players can switch between a simulation style first person cockpit view, gunners seat view or external third person view depending on your play style or mission goals. Combined with three helicopter difficulty levels to master, Air Missions: HIND offers lots of replayability options across the various missions.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>And we also have a feature list:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>Features:<\/strong><br \/>\u25cf Take control of the Mi-24 assault helicopter, a.k.a the flying tank.<br \/>\u25cf Campaign mode with fifteen missions based on fictional conflicts.<br \/>\u25cf Customise and equip your helicopter with an arsenal of missiles, machine guns and rockets.<br \/>\u25cf Four different environments to master: Central Asia, Eastern Europe, The Arctic Ocean and Southeast Asia.<br \/>\u25cf Fly combat missions in single and multiplayer modes including Deathmatch, Instant Action and Online Co-op.<br \/>\u25cf Master three different helicopter control difficulty levels.<br \/>\u25cf Three bonus Russian built attack helicopters to pilot.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<aside class=\"gallery\">\n<div class=\"col\"><a title=\"Air Missions: Hind\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/52f83dccd64e3\/air-missions-hind.original.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' viewBox='0 0 445 245'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" width=\"445\" height=\"245\" data-original=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/52f83dccd64e3\/air-missions-hind.445x245.jpg\" alt=\"Air Missions: Hind\"><\/a><a title=\"Air Missions: Hind\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/45091d55e75c4\/air-missions-hind.original.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' viewBox='0 0 445 245'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" width=\"445\" height=\"245\" data-original=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/45091d55e75c4\/air-missions-hind.445x245.jpg\" alt=\"Air Missions: Hind\"><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"col\"><a title=\"Air Missions: Hind\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/bd359512c5d0f\/air-missions-hind.original.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' viewBox='0 0 445 245'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" width=\"445\" height=\"245\" data-original=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/bd359512c5d0f\/air-missions-hind.445x245.jpg\" alt=\"Air Missions: Hind\"><\/a><a title=\"Air Missions: Hind\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/600ffd8aa6de7\/air-missions-hind.original.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' viewBox='0 0 445 245'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" width=\"445\" height=\"245\" data-original=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/600ffd8aa6de7\/air-missions-hind.445x245.jpg\" alt=\"Air Missions: Hind\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>As noted above, the game&#8217;s available to buy from the eShop today in Europe, with pricing set at \u00a322.99 \/ \u20ac24.99.
