okopanja Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 we also know it does not have the proper FLIR turret... I guess only MAWS + Iglas and maybe some cosmetics... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3d model was done when they still planned to implement it. Now that they are not, the turrets are gone, but those mount points remain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3WA Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 (edited) I just wish it had EO that actually worked. FLIR would be awesome. Do you get the feeling the Ka-50 is going to be dumped like a hot rock when the Apache debuts? Edited February 5, 2022 by 3WA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were issues with this helicopter regarding the weight distribution. It was producing undesirable effects in the flight-dynamics due to the rather heavy FLIR equipment mounted at the front. This was a testbed and nothing more. It would never go into production, as opposed to the limited run of Ka50. Stop trying to tailor the aircraft to your wishes, and rather adjust the mission to the aircraft. I´m sure those who fly the AJS-37 would love a TGP on it, but it never had one, and thus they won´t get it. It´s principally the same situation.

Not trying to take it that far, just wish we could have some variants some day with even more functionality.

Also, what it lacks in night-capability, it more than makes up for with the performance and range of Vikhr for example, or the automation with the AP. It really is an amazing helicopter.

Truly a masterpiece! It is a shame that the night combat variants of the Mi-8 are too highly classified to be included. It'd be interesting to have the Mi-24 and Ka-50 for daylight combat, but the Mi-8 for night-time anti-tank work etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterH Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 As far as I know night capable and ATGM armed Mi-8 variants are fairly newish though, at that point we might as well go full Ka-52, Mi-28N, Mi-35M etc :P. Sadly, I feel like those Mi-8s are about as unlikely as the latter 3. Also, while I'd love a modern Russian attack helo as it'd be something novel, at this point I'm more interested in getting an 80s-90s Cobra to go along with our lovely Hind, as well as for also being iconic aircraft. AH-64D will scratch the modern attack helo itch as hard as it can possibly be scratched anyway. 3 Wishlist: F-4E Block 53 +, MiG-27K, Su-17M3 or M4, AH-1F or W circa 80s or early 90s, J35 Draken, Kfir C7, Mirage III/V DCS-Dismounts Script Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
