Your Favourite - Huey or Ka-50 ?


Avio

Recommended Posts

Huey turned out to be the dark horse of all the modules for me.

I never had the rotory bug, never bought BS1 just stuck to FC2. I bought the Huey on sale as a stepping stone to learning the Shark.

The Huey is just so much fun to fly, I don't even need to shoot stuff.

The Ka50 and the Mi8 don't have the same "fun factor". They're great aircraft/modules with more complex avionics but I have way more fun with the huey.

Ka-50 for me by far. I actually find the UH-1 a little boring tbh. It's interesting reading a lot of the comments on the Ka-50 here. Seems everyone is struggling with the autopilot or has mastered it and is just along for the ride. And then there's me switching the AP off first thing (or never turning it on) cause I find it cripples the choppers performance. The shark is an amazingly nimble machine flying manually. I also find it much easier to handle than the UH-1 that way.

 

I don't have the Mi-8 but I'll grab it in the next sale I think.

No 1 is the kA-50; aps off she is just soo agile. Aps On she is a supreme attack chopper. An RWR would round this chopper off to perfection!

 

MI-8 and Huey are Joint 2nd, Huey is fun and MI-8 is for serious work. love flying both.

Deliberately not reading the thread first - so I'm repeating 20 people, I'm sure :P

 

Ka-50 for combat operations, and anti-armor missions - hands down.

 

Mi-8 for "Oh my god, I just figured out how THAT worked!" moments: she's a challenge, complex to figure out, and really rewarding to fly well.

 

Huey seems to be the most out-and-out fun to fly, and my inner 7-year-old loves to drop that pilot gun-sight down, spin up the mini-guns, and hose down truck columns at high speed aiming only with the helicopter :megalol:

I agree they each have their own roles and therefore their own ups and downs comparatively.

 

That said, while I admire the Ka-50's killing abilities etc, I have learned that the UH-1H Huey is just a pure joy to fly.

I just wish there was more we could do with it ... i.e. more missions etc.
