And what is the limit below 7500m? Is 30min for 3250rpm lvl flight below 7500m correct or not?

Ah good, then I've understood it correctly, thanks to you.

Oka I am confused. 3000 rpm continuous power is clear. Max 30min 3250 rpm only over 7500m? And under 7500m what is the highest rpm web limit? i thought 30min 3250rpm should also apply below 7500m? If it doesn't then what is max rpm limit below 7500m?

F15 because of the RWR

Okay if I watch the video and then ingame with the f18 it is almost the same? I think the boom was quite slow in dcs but I don't know exactly anymore

Ah you have selected the Air Mode of the Missle which activates the Proxy Fuze and the missile explodes in front of the target, on a tank these fragments do no damage of course. This button must not be activated this one:

Looking EDIT: Best still announce the map as it seems I have not installed the one it needs

last 10 minutes of what? of a total of 30 minutes or 2 hours? knowing this beforehand makes it much easier to see the problem, depending on whether I can run the video only in real time or maxwith 2x time lapse and if I then miss the problem....

What minute exactly? and how long is the track?

You can't compare the two helicopters that easily. Even if the armor values between all 3 helicopters were absolutely equal, the Mi-24 would have a better survival probability than ka-50 or apache. One of the reasons is that the engines of the Mi-24 are not so dispositioned but rather hidden. The engines of the other two are very exposed. What are the main reasons for their crashes as I observe it, especially with apache is the loss of the engines?

The cockpit glass feels very accurate should not necessarily withstand 12.7mm even if "it says everywhere". That's one of the reasons why the seat is so well armored. https://www.ppgaerospace.com/getmedia/9a556385-c535-491c-bbce-e332a8ca63bf/boeing_apache_-AH64-12021Final.pdf?ext=.pdf https://forum.dcs.world/uploads/monthly_2021_08/9167e6b7d0a20cf42496e18f61094b36adaf9945.jpg.4fd132a9deb336f19cc74fcc26863918.jpg

I didn't know that, especially the 23mm for the engine sounds strong. I will do another test to see how many 12.7mm actually hit the hull. Even if it is supposed to protect against 23mm a salvo of 12.7 can still hurt the armor and ultimately penetrate, to what extent that is the case in the dcs we will see. Nevertheless, I view the numbers with caution, are there more sources on this? Basically that is the case in dcs the front glass withstands 12.7mm .(23mm I would have to test again) The side not, I would have to look again to see if this is also armored should be from the rough memory, but I would think that was not the case. That's an interesting point. What does "lost" mean in that context. Is the tail completely broken off as in dcs or has it been severely defomed to uselessness Which in that case could also mean "lost". I recently saw a ka-52 flying with an extremely deformed tail which could also mean "lost". Do you have any more context or even pictures? And as I said the tail simply jumps off in dcs that I don't like it either. but you can survive the loss of the tail in dcs if you counteract in time And yes I play both helicopters regularly and have been hit by such weapons several times and have also survived them after the first tracers you have to react immediately with defensive maneuvers. Usually I do not come close enough to such weapons that this is a threat to me.

So first of all AK47s do no damage in DCS against the Apache as far as I have observed. About the Apache we see in your video 2 heavy machine guns 12,7mm frontal fire on the Apache. 12.7mm is a very dangerous weapon>>> Watch the video in this scenario you will die in this situation because your engines will be destroyed. The pilot can survive frontal because between him and the co-pilot is an armored screen that can probably stop such shots and this is also the case in DCS.>> Apache Armor if I shoot from above through the front I can penetrate it and the pilot dies the Apache is armored exactly where it is supposed to be armored and protects the pilot as expected and where it does not, the 12.7mm gets through and the pilot dies Look: >> From Top: Dead Front: Survived Lateral: Dead The engine and a part of the hull good to see: I don't know the exact values of the hull around the engine. but let's assume that they can withstand a few 12.7mm shots. ^ if we agree that this could be the case, then in the game context the Apache engine should last a couple of shots and then break. In this video we see how the Apache takes a few hits without much happening depending on where it is hit, even parts break off. We also see that the engine takes a few shots and then broke, as expected. After this test with the 12.7mm I have to say that the Apache has a very plausible behavior against this Weapon. Not everything is perfect yet, but on the whole it fits. It is similar with the KA-50III. There is only the thing that the tail breaks off after very few shots which is strange, as you can also see in your video a few shots and the tail simply jumps off.

Finde den Beitrag leider nicht mehr da ging es aber unterandern um einige grobe Fehler des aussen Models und es ist mittlerweile auch ein Recht altes Modul das kommt nocht oben drauf. wenn ich den Beitrag finde werde ich ihn hier mal Posten

I will look over the aspects again but as I said a short track of this would be best to evaluate this situations

I have and my opinion is the damage model is very good as far as I could observe. there is only one weak point as I find, the tail breaks after a few 50cal hits or 1-2 hit of 20-30mm weapons simply off. that seems a little odd to me. is that what you mean?

Has this always been the case or has the behavior changed after 2.9? Are you suggesting that the missle warning provocates a faster INU drift? and btw Fast Aligment is not intended for combat use, therefore strong drifts are to be expected after a short time, especially with stronger maneuvers over +15 bank. herefore Norm or Prec is necessary especially if you want to use Datalink and similar precisely. nevertheless I will have another look at it, you never know, otherwise you can upload a track of your situation.

Diese Fehler kenne ich auch aber wir sprachen hier ja von einem ganz anderen Aspekt und haben diesen verglichen.

Das es deutliche Unterschiede zur echten FW cockbits gibt selbst das Bild was du gepostet hast sieht nicht so schlimm aus, wo ist das überhaupt her? Auch Die D9 in dcs hat ganz andere Geometrien die eher dem original entsprechen

Did you also observe this before 2.9? What alignment are you running? Fast alignment, Norm or Precise?

Yes you are right, I could not see any difference with my tests either

Even the dcs manual gives a higher value. 56 Nice post.

Test it?

Can you upload a track file of the situation? This will help to identify potential user errors.

As in Apache, this is currently intended
