The Mi-24V was very similar to the Mi-24D already employed by most Warsaw Pact countries, however, this was introduced in 1976 and the most important upgrade was the introduction of the 9M114 Shturm (AT-6 Spiral) with 8 of these missiles mounted on the outer pylons. It was the most produced variant of the Mi-24 with a total of 1,500 units built. It served with Hungary starting in 1993 after Germany gifted 20 Mi-24D/Vs, since they could not operate both their NATO and Soviet equipment.
It was introduced in Update "Sons of Attila". The Mi-24V (Italy) is a major upgrade compared to the Mi-24D, it now has access to much more capable ATGMs, the 9M114 Shturm (AT-6 Spiral). The flight performance is still very good, being capable of reaching objectives and targets quickly, however it has very poor manoeuvrability compared to other helicopters. It has access to countermeasures but still retains the 12.7 mm HMG instead of a proper cannon, which makes harder dealing with targets at close ranges, specially in Helicopter AB.
