Mil-Mi-8TVK Gunship 1:1 (Remastered)

This is my third and best attempt at making the famous soviet Mi-8TVK Gunship Helicopter. It it 1:1 sized and more realistic than my last attempt which turned out to be not accurate and looked worse too

(The Mounted UB-32M (S-5M) Rocketpod and the FAB-100 are made by ILikeTurtles and are included in his Mi-24 Weaponspack)

History:
The Mil-Mi-8 (Nato reporting name "Hip") was introduced to the soviet airforce in 1965 and is still being used today.
Its a cargo/attack Helicopter that was used by over 50 different countrys and in over 8 wars.
The Mil-Mi-8 was build to be a succesor of the Mil-Mi-4, it was a much older cargo helicopter featuring the same rear fuselage of the Mi-8.
The Mi-8 wasnt only used in the military tho, it also saw use in civil transportation or in the police in the USSR.
Over 120 different versions where made.
The Mi-8 can be sepperated in 3 categorys: The Mi-8T (a transport version), the Mi-8TV (a gunship version) and the Mi-8S (a specialised civilian version)

Features:
It has Custom rotors from ILikeTurtles that look much better than the normal ones and they also tilt while using collective and angle downwards when they are standing still which adds more realism.
It has 10 Hardpoints in total, 4 of them are used to mount ATGMs like the 9M17P Falanga. the other 6 hardpoints can be used to mount rocketpods, gunpods or unguided rockets.
The weapon firing mode selection system in located on the 3 panels above the pilots, making use of that will allow you to select if you wanna launch the equippet or send a On/Off signal through the hardpoint for firing the mounted hardpoints.
Make sure to select that before trying to fire your weapons or it may result in you accidently dropping your rocketpods.
The panel to select the general weapon to be fired is located directly infront of the pilot, to select your desired weapon just turn up the number displayed on the panel, the number 1 is the front mounted machinegun which can also be controlled and fired by the Co-Pilot/Gunner making him able to mouse aim it which needs to be racked before firing i tho, to do that you have to press the invisable push button on top of the machinegun, you will need to do that after reloading each time for realism, the number 2 are the 2 most inside hardpoints, the number 3 are the hardpoint outside next to it, the number 4 are the most outside hardpoints and number 5 is the 4 wire guided Falanga ATGMs, those are wire guided and have to activly be aimed by the pilot/Co-Pilot, to do that you look at your target (With binocoulars) until the missile reaches it. On default the pilot has to aim the ATGMs but if you toggle the hotkey 1 on the Co-Pilots seat it will switch making the Co-Pilot be able to guide them.
(CHECK 14th PICTURE FOR VISUALIZATION).
In the cargo bay it has space for up to 10 fully equipped soldiers or equippment and supplies, it can also be used to evacuate injured soldiers with medical beds.
The countermeasures can be used to counter incoming heat seeking missiles.
