evanf117 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) the Ka-29 helix is sort of a mix of the Ka-50 and Mi-8, it can attack light and medium targets and also carry cargo or do CSAR, the weapons it can carry include an internal GShG-7.62 external Shipunov 2A42 (30MM) (same as BMP-2), S-8 and Strum-v / Ataka | max ATGM's = 8 and S-5 it can also carry UPK (unlike our Mi-24) has an internal bay for troops and small cargo its cruse speed is 235km and a range of 460km, its empty is 5.5t and max is 12.6t, it can carry 16 men or an internal payload of around 3t and external payload of 4t it also has 1 or 2 internal fans depending on the version id say the Ka-29 would be a great addition to the helo line up, it can carry the weapons of a Mi-24, carry the troops and cargo of a Mi-8 (for the most part) and has the rotor and gun of a Ka-50, its kind of like a hornet, jack of all trades master of none.

Mike Force Team Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 For the KA-29, I want to see the anti-submarine variant. I want to carry the sonobuoys, the depth charges, and/or torpedoes to destroy the hostile submerged or surface vessels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
