Buzzles Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Have we always been able to mount KH-25ML's to the outboard wings? Fancy trying Star Citizen? Click here!
Reaper6 Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Have we always been able to mount KH-25ML's to the outboard wings? yes, but unless your at about 3km AGL I wouldn't bother with them.

M1Combat Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 They're good for taking out particularly dangerous SAM sites and yeah... Either be WAY above ground or try to aim them up as you shoot... Takes some practice. Sure wish we could take those or Vikhr's on the inner wings :).

MiG21bisFishbedL Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 yes, but unless your at about 3km AGL I wouldn't bother with them. Reaper6 Even then, I'd argue that the Vikhr is still the better option; pop up, fire, then pop back into cover. Still, actually employing the Kh-25 successfully is mad rewarding. The Ka-50 is pretty much the perfect attack helicopter for a computer game. Reformers hate him!

erjdriver Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 ... the Vikhr is still the better option; pop up, fire, then pop back into cover...[snipped] Don't the vikhrs need guidance from the schwal all the way to impact? If so, you can't hide completely since the schwal is on the nose.

So you better not waste time locking & lasing. The best thing to do is use the DL in coordination with your attacks. Plot all your most dangerous, and then attack.

In 1.2 it could be a little erratic for me.

Reaper6 Excuse my ignorance - but even if you use DL - don't you need to lock on to your target and lase before you can let loose a vickers - and once released don't you need line of sight to target till impact.

Yeah, I just meant don't waste a lot of time firing off the Vikhr. Scope out the area, put them in your DL, and then pop op and shoot. It just makes it easier and faster when you can cycle thru DL for the next tgt. But yes, the Vikhrs do need to "ride" the laser beam all the way to the tgt.

arkroyale048 Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Anyone NOT getting anything from their Laser Warning Receiver ? Was trying to test out something that happened to me in a public server. Basically, I know for sure that all IR Sams and AAA are destroyed. Only left with armor. Happily picking them off one by one when I got hit my some sort of missile. Had to be ATGMs.... But I was standing off. > 6 Km Created a quick one in mission editor to test (I was wrong; ATGM engaged me at 5km... which is what I believe is its expected range. But found out that I am not getting anything from the LWS. No track available but I got video http://www.twitch.tv/arkroyale048/v/19853063 Part of my Livestream. ATGM engaged me at around 4.7km... still no audio cue. Have confirmed that I have the LWS set to on as I started this mission with the heli already started up.

While true, you stay just as long as you need to. Zoom right in on your display and watch that missile fly. When you see that it's practically on top of the target, you can just drop the collective and slide back down behind cover. On top of that, you also have flares. Your real concern, at least in my experience, are going to be SPAAGs. A Shilka will ruin your day. Reformers hate him!

Dappman Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) I watched videos from Frooglesim and Dslyecxi and I couldn't have done it without them. I'm very decent at flying the KA-50 now. After watching those video the two things that helped me most was learning that the autopilot wants to hold heading and screws you up so fly without AP when you can. The second thing was everyone claims (even in the manual) that the KA-50 isn't affected by rotor blade torque because of its twin opposite rotors and you don't need the rudder to keep it straight. Completely untrue, you do need to use the rudder to keep it straight while in a hover and at speed. Here's the videos. You will be pro in no time. Edited October 9, 2015 by Dappman

dimitriov Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) Had a laser warning when I got locked by a Su-27 tonight on the fireball server (currently the alarm saved my life, the poor man tried to follow me after having missed me twice, and unfortunately met my friend who was waiting for him in a Tor :D). And I think the two enemy Kamovs I shot down too had it because, when i locked at them before sending them my glorious vikhrs, they tried to leave their AH and hide... They didn't hide fast enough... :( - PVP in Kamov Rule #1 : Lock your enemy with your laser when you're sure to be near enough from him to shoot. - PVP in Kamov Rule #2 : Don't show mercy. - PVP in Kamov Rule #3 : Move stealthy, attack in the back. - PVP in Kamov Rule #4 : Never go more than 15 km away from your friendly SAM. - PVP in Kamov Rule #5 : If your enemy tried to land, then use your Rockets Fatality points. - PVP in Kamov Rule #6 : Do not regret ANYTHING :D Nicolas Edited October 10, 2015 by dimitriov
dburne Posted October 10, 2015 Author Posted October 10, 2015 Here's the videos. You will be pro in no time. I watched them this morning very helpful, thanks again! Only problem now is, I want to buy the Huey lol. Don't want to distract myself from learning the rest of the Ka-50 to include navigation and combat.

dburne Posted October 10, 2015 Author Posted October 10, 2015 Those videos really helped me. I have been practicing coordinated turns this morning and doing pretty darn good, making some good turns without gaining or losing altitude. I also even managed to enter a vortex ring state and actually recover from it as well. I think I am ready to learn navigating and some weapon use, guess I will start with the training missions for it and see how I do. I really appreciate all the help gang. This is exciting.

FeistyLemur Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 Well I've put in some time training on the KA-50 so I decided to fire up the "Attack insurgents" instant action mission and dive into a combat mission. I thought hmm insurgents sound weak, lets try that. The plus side is I got to wing it at trying my first auto-rotational landing since Janes AH-64 Longbow. It wasn't pretty but I lived. And so ends my first KA-50 combat mission. Please send help, Captured by insurgents.

MiG21bisFishbedL Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 - PVP in Kamov Rule #1 : Lock your enemy with your laser when you're sure to be near enough from him to shoot. Okay, that works. Definitely do that! - PVP in Kamov Rule #2 : Don't show mercy. Yeah, this VIKHRs don't pack a wallop. Use two. No mercy. - PVP in Kamov Rule #3 : Move stealthy, attack in the back. That really is the advantage of the attack helo. - PVP in Kamov Rule #4 : Never go more than 15 km away from your friendly SAM. I dunno, if you have appropriate air cover, you're good. - PVP in Kamov Rule #5 : If your enemy tried to land, then use your Rockets Fatality points. I feel the UPKs are a bit underrated, actually. Still, Rockets area great panic weapon. - PVP in Kamov Rule #6 : Do not regret ANYTHING :D Ooooooooooh... Reformers hate him!
