jj_pt Posted June 2, 2006 Posted June 2, 2006 The Mi-28 looks really good. Does this mean we'll get it as flyable? :smartass: Just follow the link. [sIGPIC]http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/images/userbars/A-10C_UserBar_01.gif[/sIGPIC]
Force_Feedback Posted June 2, 2006 Posted June 2, 2006 The Mi-28 looks really good. Does this mean we'll get it as flyable? :smartass: Hope so, would justify the delay for me, I mean, no Jet (only jet engine), rotor clash, some lame fish name, we want the Mi-28 also!!! (at least via Meint) The autocannon looks smaller on the mi-28. Man, we'll get an AUTOCANNON, no machine gun, this thing has real rounds, exen explosive to disperse these nasty su-25s. Man, the same abomination of nature is also found on the bmp 2, and we all know, from Operation Flashpoint, when its fired, all hell breakes loose. Creedence Clearwater Revival:worthy:

VapoR Posted June 2, 2006 Posted June 2, 2006 I`m just curious if humancockpit=yes will allow you to fly other helos using the Ka-50 pit . . . I prefer my flyables to actually be aircraft that are in service!!!

RvETito Posted June 2, 2006 Posted June 2, 2006 It does make sense to implement the Mi-28 even as a flyable, since the RAF chose it for main combat helicopter and it will see serial production, which is not certain for the Ka-50/52. Being a coaxial rotorcraft supporter I believe the russian militaries took the wrong decision. I'm glad that ED didn't follow the officials and focused their manpower on Ka-50's simulation. So I don't really care if the Mi-28 will be made flyable. The 3D model really looks good, but I think we should also see new models for the Mi-24 and Ka-27, which are in large number currently in service all over the world, especially the Hind.

brewber19 Posted June 2, 2006 Posted June 2, 2006 Hi All, Im sure this has been covered before but.... What direct human opposition will BS pilots have when online? I'm sure the singleplayer campaigns will be engaging/fun etc, but online....there are no US choppers/pilots to compete with in BS.....BS pilots will be essentially flying solo against ground targets (which will still be fun)...and flying NOE to stay away from fast jets. I don't have (and won't specify) a preference for a human piloted chopper opponent to BS....but I would have guessed that any western/european human-chopper would be useful. e.g. AH-1? AH-64? Lynx? (no laughing at "Lynx", and these are examples of choppers...not preferences or suggestions). Have I missed some info anywhere or is this the state of play? I am still very keen to get BS...am a rotorhead at heart really...but just a thought since people are getting the perception that BS will have other rotor A/C in it, whereas I understood there won't be?!

Witchking Posted June 2, 2006 Posted June 2, 2006 exactly....I was wondering that BS features only one flyable chopper. Am I wrong? Are we getting the cobra and mi-28 as well?

ALDEGA Posted June 2, 2006 Posted June 2, 2006 The F/A-18A-C in Lockon 1.0 has a nice 3D model as well (the best in 1.0) but it's not flyable ;) All that can be concluded is that there will (likely) be AI Mi-28 in LOBS.
ED Team Glowing_Amraam Posted June 2, 2006 ED Team Posted June 2, 2006 Only the KA-50 will be made flyable, nothing else has been mentioned about LOBS. But of course, you could go "around it" and change some meinit file and swap the ka-50 model with whatever helicopter model you want. :P https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgJRhtnqA-67pKmQ3A2GsgA ED youtube channel https://www.facebook.com/glowingamraam My facebook page

That, that sometime dirung combat they can meet on the battlefield is another story. But their initial and essential purpose is ground attack. I doubt that there's a single CAS plane pilot who intentionaly fly A-10 vs. Su-25 online. It's pointless. "See, to me that's a stupid instrument. It tells what your angle of attack is.

WhiskeyRomeo Posted June 2, 2006 Posted June 2, 2006 The Mi-28N has the same "multi-crew" issue that's hard to solve. How do you combine the crew responsiblities split between 2 crew into a player's single control span? I know some "sims" let you jump between crew positions but that doesnt seem a workable solution for rapid moving combat action. Still it we can "humancockpit" mini-mod the -28 to get some extra fun into the game I'd be happy for that option.

tflash Posted June 2, 2006 Posted June 2, 2006 D-Scythe will call me a fanboy, but I just have to say: kudos ED for this magnificent Mi-28N! I'm not into helo sims ... yet, since BS is not yet released! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

There could be many good reasons for wanting a flyable US helicopter, but the ability to "dogfight" with the Ka-50 is not one of them. Should I be happy with playing against AI then, just because I might be flying a helo and its natural enemy is ground units? Yes unless you are suggesting the implementation of player controlled ground vehicules. Cheers, - JJ. JJ
Force_Feedback Posted June 2, 2006 Posted June 2, 2006 I know this should be in the official ka-50 "how bout that ingame" thread, but I'll post it here. Will we get Iglas for self defense, I know the vikhr is also against air targets, but the ka-50 did carry A-A iglas in real life (it also did carry high speed cameras to examine rotor clash problems, but I'm not asking for those, the time delay function will do ust fine). Creedence Clearwater Revival:worthy:
GGTharos Posted June 2, 2006 Posted June 2, 2006 No, the Ka-50 didn't carry any igla stacks in real life, and you won't get any ;) Use the Vikhr. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
fragal Posted June 2, 2006 Posted June 2, 2006 little bit out of it here but question for ed, i've seen pics for a new cobra, ne chance of an new model for the apache as well??
peterj Posted June 2, 2006 Posted June 2, 2006 ED seems pretty confident about no iglas, R-60 or R-73 ;) Fuse vikhrs + 4 km cannon (Max effective 3000m, right of the interweb..) I guess you could do some mod to allow Ka-50 vs Ka-50 'just for fun'.
Force_Feedback Posted June 2, 2006 Posted June 2, 2006 No, the Ka-50 didn't carry any igla stacks in real life, and you won't get any ;) Use the Vikhr. I have pictures of the real deal flying with 2x Igla on the outer mounts. Creedence Clearwater Revival:worthy:
