Air Missions: HIND is a flight simulator game developed by 3Division. Make no mistake, though, this game will not offer you a slow, relaxing experience of flying passenger aircraft. This is a combat sim, packed with action and missions to complete.
This game is also much narrower in scope, than, say, Microsoft Flight Simulator or DCS World. In Air Missions: HIND, you will be piloting one specific aircraft: Mi-24 Hind assault helicopter (three other helicopters can be unlocked by purchasing the deluxe edition of the game). But some might argue that it’s better to be great at one thing than to be OK at many. Focusing entirely on Soviet helicopters means that the game simulates them really well.
You can choose to equip your helicopter with a range of different weapons, all of which exist in real life and have been recreated in faithful manner. These include UPK-23 gun pods, FAB bombs, MCLOS and SACLOS missiles, and several rockets. Don’t feel too intimidated, though. The game offers a choice between a realistic and a simplified control scheme to allow casual players to have fun too.
Air Missions: HIND released on PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and Windows PC. But did you know that you can play Air Missions: HIND on Mac as well? It’s true; read the guide below to learn how.
