Concerning the Mi-24V type (NATO code HIND-E) hopefully this will clear up the weapons issue. The first is from the Czech MOD which still flies the HIND A/D/E versions. The Czech Republic was to upgrade the HIND-E to NATO standards but this was abandoned. Anyway here's the refs...

From ref. A, the confusion in weapons
might've stemmed from the weapons pod options available to the HIND-E as pictured below. But concerning the turret...
"Under the helicopter nose, there is a revolving turret with a four-barrel rotating 9A624 machine gune of 12.7 mm calibre with a supply of 1,470 cartridges."

From WEAPONS section of ref. B
"The helicopter has six suspension weapon units on the wingtips. The
Mi24D (Mi-52) and the
Mi-24V (Mi-35) are equipped with a YakB four-barrelled, 12.7mm, built-in, flexibly mounted machine gun, which has a firing rate of 4,000-4,500 rounds a minute and a muzzle velocity of 860m/s."
New computer online I can't even hear the darn thing. Game program file(s) transfer
from XP to Flash Drive to new PC went smooth and games appears to be playing properly. Not as bad as I thought it would be to transfer my data. Thanks to those that offered help and encouragement. After that "push" I think I'll get my free upgrade to Win 10 on 29 July. I'll see if anything "funny" happens with the game and get back.
Regards,
Pat
