oh i see. i thought it was just an upgraded version of the ka50. but that's too bad, it would've been great for co-op.

i think it would be great if there was a ka-52 for single player and co-op. it probably wouldn't cost too much time and money to develop since it is very similar to the ka50 and would new players get familiar with the flying and weapons. they could sell it for about $15, and it would be a great way to support E.D. and allow them to make more money.

in a long mission i made with many sams, i ran out of flares. my pilot, Nikolai Vodkaman, was not invulnerable, so when i saw a white trail of smoke come out of a bmp i ejected, just before my ka50 burst into flames. i watched by character parachute to the ground, and when he landed safely i ended the mission. at debriefing it said my character died. great.

really?

huh?

this works against convoys great! i tried this against 3 t-55's and 2 apcs; i obliterated the tanks, did a 180 and finished off the apcs with the cannon

i guess this would work, i'll try it out.

i think its from damage

haha when i try to bomb these things the next thing i hear is usually "bpu fire"

this. also, only strafe if there's no terrain to protect you

So i've set up missions for bombs, and they seem so cumbersome. the 250 kgs will probably only get you 2-4 kills, while rockets can get you 10-20 if you're careful. the other bombs are too weak to take out bmp's, apc's and tanks, so it looks to be used for soft. but then again, fuel trucks and cargo trucks only take a few well placed cannon rounds and if you charge at infantry they'll damage your aircraft (they love taking out the shkval, ugh!). maybe i'm using them wrong, but what's your opinion?

that's the worst tip ever. you're not always facing tows or tanks. besides, you can take tows out before they know where you are and you can easily stay out of tank range

i had to reinstall the game, and when i was tuning my axis it wouldn't show 2 sliders moving next to eachother. but the first time i installed it it recognized it, and i haven't changed any options. my slider works fine for fsx

tip: 99% of the time they're best to use when hovering. just make slight adjustments on the collective and rudder to align both reticules. it's a lot harding to adjust the nose when moving, which is the case with going fast and firing

mine is 200ft, not much but if you arc it it's alot further

thanks for everything. best sim community is on this forum. i never thought i'd be able to dominate sim mode

thanks for your help. i finally fired my first ATGM :D

oh, so maybe i should use button 2 for missiles and 1 for cannon? i'm in range, and i did everyting the weapon tutorial includes, and i have the outer hardpoints selected. to fire the the atgm's you use release weapons right? thanks for your help

sorry if i seemed a bit angry, just lost my temper. anyway, thanks to you all it is fixed

you can still fire, regardless of minimum range. however, my pilot (not invulrnerable) who had over 50 kills with 0 deaths was killed by an exploding tank when i was doing an emergency flyby. it was pretty funny, though

in sim mode, i try to get within atgm launch range. i establish a hover, and adjust my altitude. my weapons and lasers and hms mode are on, and i've locked the target. i see the launch circle is within the shkval circle and hms circle. i hold the fire button for a couple seconds, but nothing happens. i then move up and switch to cannon, and i destroy the target. what is happening? please help

ahhh, this is probably it. i'll try it out right now

i know, but it changes automatically for some reason

usually the game lets me turn my head with the mouse, so i can use helmet mounted sight. other times, moving my mouse will just move the cursor, and not turn my head. this changes in the middle of the mission i then look at the control list. the only cockpit controls i see are the ones that move the camera up, down, left right which can't let me use helmet sight? am i doing something wrong?

i always wondered, wouldn't it be cool if you could operate a tank, run around as a guy with a stinger or try to shoot down the ka-50 with an aa battery? just wanted to know what you guys think. it would be good if it was a search and destroy mode featured in an expansion pack, but it might be hard to do or not be very profitable
