Features
Aside from the baseline troop transport, the Mi-2 features nineteen unique variants that can serve in a variety of roles, from minelaying to agriculture and even a smokescreen layer that can generate a trail a thick smoke. Armed configurations of the Mi-2 can serve as light gunships, and with the ability to use dynamic loadouts, can be equipped with unguided rocket pods, anti-tank guided missiles or short-range air-to-air missiles.

Crew Capacity
Seating arrangements vary based on the model and configuration of the Mi-2, though all support a crew consisting of both the pilot and a co-pilot who additionally doubles as a gunner on some of the gunship variants.

Protection

All variants of the Mi-2 share a base armour value of 100.

Hull

The Mi-2's hull is able to withstand up to 100 points of damage. It takes 100% damage from high-explosive (HE) type munitions. 100% of incoming damage to the hull will always be shared with the Mi-2's main "health" pool.

Depletion of the hull's integrity has a high chance of resulting in a total loss.

Engines

Each of the Mi-2's engines are capable of taking a maximum of 25 points of damage. They take 100% damage from HE-type munitions. 100% of incoming damage to either engine will be shared with the helicopter's "health" pool.

Destruction of both engines has the potential of causing a total loss if the helicopter is at or near critical "health" status.

Fuel tank

The helicopter's fuel lines/tank can withstand up to 100 points of damage. They take 100% damage from HE-type munitions. 100% of incoming damage will always be shared with the Mi-2's main "health" pool.

Instruments

The Mi-2's flight instruments and avionics can only take 15 points of damage before they fail. They take 100% damage from HE-type munitions. 100% of incoming damage will always be shared with the Mi-2's "health" pool.

Main rotor

Components for the main rotors consist of the rotor blades and horizontal stabilisers:

• The main rotors can take up to 20 points of damage before they break. They take 100% damage from HE-type munitions. Only 10% of incoming damage to the blades will be shared with the helicopter's main "health" pool.
• Each of the stabilisers (left/right) are able to withstand a maximum of 80 points of damage before they fail. They do not take additional or reduced damage from HE-type munitions. No damage inflicted upon the stabilisers is shared with the Mi-2's "health" pool.

Tail rotor

The tail rotor assembly consists of the tail rotor and vertical stabilisers:

• The tail rotor can withstand a maximum of 30 points of damage before it breaks. It takes 100% damage from HE-type munitions. At least 30% of incoming damage will be shared with the Mi-2's "health" pool.
• The stabilisers can take up to 80 points of damage. They do not take increased or less damage from HE-type munitions. 100% of damage to the tail rotor will be shared with the helicopter's main "health" pool.

Armament

NOTE: Some configurations of the Mi-2 support the dynamic loadouts mechanic and have munitions that are not detailed in this section.

Sensors

It only has access to one passive-type sensor, though the capabilities of this sensor will vary depending on the Mi-2's configuration:

Sensor type (Variant)	Max range (Air/Ground)	Min range (Air/Ground)	Affected by environment?	Target max speed (km/h)	Azimuth coverage (°)	Elevation coverage (°)	Friendly identification range (m)
Visual (All)	A: 2,000 m G: 1,000 m	A: 500 m G: 500 m	Fog/Light (5%/50%)	252 km/h	46°	34°	2,000 m
Visual (URP/URP-G)	A: 3,000 m G: 5,000 m	A: 500 m G: 0 m	Fog/Light (5%/50%)	252 km/h	90°	90°	2,000 m

Visual Sensor (All)

With the exception of the Mi-2URP and Mi-2URP-G, all other variants of the Mi-2 (including civilian variants) have access to a basic version of the Visual Sensor.

This version of the Mi-2's Visual Sensor is forward-facing only. The Visual Sensor can be affected by heavy fog and can lose up to 5% of its range depending on its thickness. The Visual Sensor suffers from a 50% range penalty at night and very low-light conditions.

Visual Sensor (URP/URP-G)

Exclusively available to the Mi-2URP and Mi-2URP-G variants.

Unlike the baseline Visual Sensor, the URP/URP-G's Visual Sensor is embedded within the co-pilot's targeting camera. The Visual Sensor can be affected by heavy fog and can lose up to 5% of its range depending on its thickness. This version of the Visual Sensor also suffers from a 50% range penalty at night and very low-light conditions.

Slingloading

NOTE: All Mi-2s are capable of slinging non-Global Mobilization vehicles. Please note that they are deliberately excluded from this section.

Mi-2s have a maximum lifting capacity of 1,800 kg.

Compared to the PAH 1, Mi-2s can carry more than double their maximum load capacity and can slingload larger vehicles (including the PAH 1 and its derivatives). The engines are also much stronger, and won't cause the helicopter to suffer a noticeable penalty to either handling or speed while slinging cargo:

• Bicycle (all variants)
• K125 gl
• LH 105M
• P601 (all variants)
• PAH 1 (all variants)
• Truck 0.5t tmil gl (all variants)
• Typ 1200 (all variants)
• Typ 247 (all variants)
• Typ 251 (all variants)
• W123 (all variants)

Supply crates and Warsaw Pact LAK II/NATO ACE I logistical shelters can also be lifted (though this does not include ACE II shelters). However, Mi-2s are still unable to carry armoured vehicles and any of the utility trucks.

Trivia

• All variants of the Mi-2 were not initially present upon Global Mobilization's release and were only included after Update 1.2.
• The Mi-2's weight limits for slingloading cargo loads was increased from 800 kg to 1,800 kg after the release of Update 1.3.5448, allowing it to slingload the (then-new) Pkw gel. 469 and UAZ 469 LUVs.
• Prior to Update 1.5, the Platan minelayer variant was bugged and could not deploy its anti-tank mines.
