Upgraded Ka-50 version

[Corsair]

Hi everybody,

 

I wonder that instead of making a whole new aircraft/chopper it wouldn't be easier to go from a already made basis and develop a new version of this aircraft.

 

I would really like to see an upgraded variant of the Hokum:

• the Ka-50Sh (Ka-50Ш) with FLIR/Shkval

 

 

• the Ka-50N, which seems to have a redesigned cockpit with a new nav system, FLIR only

 

 

It seems that the actual Ka-50 in the game is a kind of mix (since all the 12 Ka-50 seem to be different :D), so even if you can make a fully accurate upgraded variant it would be nice to add some better systems to the Ka-50 we currently have.

 

It could open us a wide range of operational capacities, such as night ops, better DL, etc.. and i think it would be faster since main systems (hydraulics, turboshafts..) are surely the same.

 

Cheers

Corsair

I second that notion. Modular upgrades to existing DCS planes/helos would be well appreciated. I am willing to pay for these upgrades, too.

Unfortunately, there's not much chance you will ever see those systems in a simulator.

FLIR vision exists in A10C module so, if ED can find some documentation about it, implementation should not be a biggie?

The problem is that these were essentially prototypes. I doubt there is any real data to be found for them as they were themselves individual developmental platforms, not finalized or produced to any kind of standard. ED would likely have to imagine most of the avionics for these versions.

Simple radar warning would be nice. screwed on somewhere with a bit of duct tape for good measure.
