This is a fictional Mi-8 skin texture of the "Esqd HU-2" ( 2nd General Employment Helicopter Squadron ) of Brazilian Navy ( Marinha do Brasil ), it was inspired by the real painting of the old Sikorsky S-61 ( SH-3 ) helicopters of Brazilian Navy, but also on the new Eurocopter EC-725. Although Brazil uses some Mi-171 helicopters, they are not used by brazilian military forces.
The "HU-2" Helicopter Squadron of brazilian Navy are used by Marines and other Navy Special Forces.
FOR MORE DETAILS OF THIS SKIN AND COMPARISON TO REAL HELICOPTERS, SEE THE OTHER SCREENSHOTS!!!
These are the improvements made for the textures of this fictional Brazilian Navy "Esqd HU-2" Mi-8 helicopter:
1 - All the textures uses the new PBR texturing technique.
2 - The excess of darkened areas on the fuselage which are generally seen at the majority of the DCS Mi-8 skins, just as the ones in the external side view of the cockpit and the darkened areas near the exhaustor were completely removed, without demaging the shaded details of the fuselage.
3 - The skin contains all the same symbols, warning marks and adhesives, just as they are seen at the fuselage of real helicopters of Brazilian Navy. These symbols in real Mi-8/17/171 helicopter models are used to identify the places for electric charging, drains, oil, fuel, anchorage and others. These symbols and marks were made according to real russian standard dimensions.
4 - The fuel tank has also an adhesive containing data about the fuel tank, as the tank type, total capacity, weight and date of the approval.
5 - The Mi-8 skin of the "HU-2" Squadron of Brazilian Navy, can be used with or without the EVU and with or without the armoured parts. The "HU-2" Squadron's logo outside the cockpit, always can be seen, no matter if you use or not the armoured parts, because the "UH-2" Squadron logo was added to the armored plates outside the cockpit.
6 - The Mi-8 pilots wear green uniforms containing two patches, one is the Flag of Brazil and the other is the "HU-2" squadron" badge, just like the ones used by real brazilian Navy's helicopter pilots.
