Tail looks longer than the Apache's, so maybe a Hind?

That's "easy" -> It's a Mi-24 Hind smile

Does this mean that we will finally have a DI's Hind successor (something like Hind2) in the form of a Take On Helicopters Addon??
That would be a dream come true and Take On Helicopters have all what it needs to pull such a thing off, like for example:
-> Excelent modeling of infantry and all other kind of military units (inherited from ArmA)
-> Very good helicopter flight model
-> Multiplayer and co-op capable with the capability of more than one player playing in the same helicopter (for example one player as pilot and an another player as gunner) - Also inherited from ArmA.

Please, tell me it is what I'm thinking of - It would be a dream come true since DI's Hind was my favourite helicopter sim just after Longbow2 smile

X2

A lot more to do with a Hind than an apache in this sim, as it models interactions with ground personnel. Fight in, deploy troops, pickup troops, fight out.

That video is the very definition of a teaser. I watched it five times in a row to get a good read on that silhouette.

Yep, definitely a Hind, tailboom is mounted higher. Then again, it "could" be anything since the helicopters in TOH aren't exactly like they're real-life counterparts to avoid copyright issues.

Yes, but that's regarding Civilian helicopters and real company names. The Mi-24 is a military helicopter (not to mention a Russian helicopter) and therefore "less" subjected to any possible issues regarding copyright. Note for example that in ArmA we have already have Hinds as well as Apaches, AH-1 Cobras, etc... which are represented in the sim like they are in real life.
