Yes, but how will you model the 'mysterious' HUD mode if it simply doesn't exist in real life?

I really want to prove you otherwise and I don't know if this will mean anything to you, but the Ka-50, unlike the aforementioned aircraft, has NEVER used AAMs (It doesn't have the hardware, the software and etc.). So adding this capability would mean changing the aircraft's cockpit and some avionics which would make it an unrealistic representation of the aircraft. And this is a sim after all..

Watch the whole thing. It has some very rare footage.

I absolutely agree :thumbup:

Okay, let's settle this. The DCS Ka-50 doesn't have this feature as the variant that it was developed from never did aswell. And I think that adding it to the current DCS Ka-50 would be unrealistic because it wouldn't represent the real aircraft. That's it. As for the Kh-66, I really don't know the backstory, so..

Beutiful! The first skin that caught my eye :)

Are you serious?! Too bad I'm not alowed to swear in here. THE KA-50 THAT'S IN THE GAME IS EXECTLY THE SAME ONE AS IN REAL LIFE AND IT DOESN'T HAVE AAMs!!! Maybe other Ka-50 variants have had them, but this variant didin't so neither the one that's in the sim. So stop living in these 'I'm sure that they would've' dreams and have a good day. By the way, the Ka-50 isn't even in proper service anymore, It's dead. Please close this thread..

Thanks!

Yeah! Where dem podcasts at? :)

Haha! Stuff happens ;)

I agree, but they should finish a lot of projects before this one. :D

FINALLY! THANK YOU! How hard it is for people to understand that this is a very specific variant of the Ka-50 that is accurately represented in DCS. And it doesn't have A-A capabilities because the real one didn't aswell.. And it really doesn't matter now because this is what's left of the Ka-50 we're talking about: The one that's on the right is the #24 (the exact same one modelled in DCS). It's dead. They might be using those Ka-50s to experiment with new systems, but essentially the Ka-52 is the main aircraft and not the Ka-50.

The R-60 aswell. Though not ground vehicles..

Thank you for this competition, Bunyap!

Well.. Everything is subject to change, right? :D

Yeah, that's the answer I was hoping for. Thanks.

The MiG-21Bis manual mentions that IR A-A missles can be fired at ground targets. Has anyone tried doing that?

Thank you :)

I don't get it. Why do people always get this misconception that the Ka-50 can fire AA missles?

For the 100th time.. The Ka-50 that is modeled in DCS (#24) didn't have this capability in real life, so this one doesn't aswell. It's not a missing feature, but the way this specific aircraft was built.

So the ones that join first will get to fly it, right? :)

+1 for that. Recently found an old Flanker 2.5 disc and I noticed that it had the 29K :D

I'd like to join the red Ka-50
