Helo vs. Helo

A-10 has greater combat and cruise speeds than Super Tucano.

The AH-1Z will have the ability to carry two wingtip sidewinders I think.

Yes, AFAIK the marines use it as a self-escort capability for their choppers.

Correct.

 

Part of the upgrade package was extended stub wings & AIM-9 on the wingtips.

Keep in mind that the main RL policy IRL is to stay alive so if your A2A helo skills are piss poor your policy should be to avoid enemy helicopters regardless of what the most fancy of RL field manuals says.

No where in the A10 manual does it say to get to speeds in excess of 350 before launching Aim9. Just launching an AAM at a bogey would be enough to get some separation and maybe get him to break off an attack.

A different version KA-50 vs other Helicopter

 

if you got friendly Sams on your side close to you why fire a Vikhr just FIND the enemy FIRST:music_whistling:

 

Lase them when they are out of their Weapon Range.

Make sure the Helicopter follows you or you get a laser warning.

Run away at around 230-250km/h Heading your next friendly Sam and fly above it heading on .

Test by pressing L (Laser warning reset) the enemy still follows you.

 

 

Pro:

-doesnt need ammo

-sometimes works against real Players :thumbup:

 

Contra:

- difficult

- tricky

- needs sometimes much time when enemy is not following you how you want it.

 

yeah its special but funny :megalol:

Super Tucano are a turbo-prop, fly below 350kt.

This is actually a good point. The A-10 isn't meant to tango with air targets, and if you can use an AIM-9 to cause him to break off and then use that moment to mask yourself and run, that's all good. Especially since there are very few fixed-wings you'd expect to have much of a chance against - even a Frog would likely eat you fairly easily through it's greater speed.

 

Nailing choppers, however, is tonnes of fun, and if they have a turret-mounted autocannon it might be worth using the separation the AIM-9 allows rather than getting very close for a GAU-8 run. (But that's for when you value your life, in-sim there's few things that are as fun as obliterating a chopper with the GAU. :D )
