VapoR Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Anyone else notice there are 8 new screens on lockon.ru? Some show the side-mounted cannon, which is very strange in that looks like it can point up/down and outward. Why would they design it like that? Seems like a chin or nose mount like on the Apache and Cobra would be a more efficient method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ED Team Alex Okean Posted December 17, 2005 ED Team Share Posted December 17, 2005 Anyone else notice there are 8 new screens on lockon.ru? Some show the side-mounted cannon, which is very strange in that looks like it can point up/down and outward. Why would they design it like that? Seems like a chin or nose mount like on the Apache and Cobra would be a more efficient method. There is two reasons first 2A42 cannon too big for nose mounting (we called it BFG :)) second Ka-50 much more capable then other helicopters in turn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caretaker Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Mounting it closer to the helicopter's center of gravity should also reduce the effect of recoil and increase accuracy when firing. Caretaker ED Beta Test Team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team Groove Posted December 17, 2005 ED Team Share Posted December 17, 2005 As a Nato pilot you learn to approach the Hokum always from the site opposite of the cannon - so its abviously the left side of the Ka-50. But as the hokum have a very fast turn rate you ve got only one burst. But maybe the one which decides all ?

britgliderpilot Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 As a AH-64 A/D pilot you learn to aproach the Hokum always from left. But as the hokum have a very fast turn rate you ve got only one burst. But maybe the one which decides all ? Helicopter to helicopter combat? Yes!! Firebirds!! "I am the greatest . . . I Am The Greatest . . . I AM THE GREATEST!!" In other news, don't forget that the Shkval (quite a big and bulky system, especially in comparison with the FLIR on the Apache) takes up most of the space on the nose. How much ammo does the cannon on the Ka50 pack? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v121/britgliderpilot/BS2Britgliderpilot-1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ED Team Olgerd Posted December 17, 2005 ED Team Share Posted December 17, 2005 The similarity between those images isn't accidental, is it? No it is not.

Yellonet Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 About the 'BFG' The Ka-50 is armed with a 2A42 quick-firing 30mm gun which has an unrestricted azimuth and elevation range mounting for use against airborne or ground targets. The gun is equipped with 460 rounds of ammunition, two types being carried, high-fragmentation and explosive incendiary rounds and armour-piercing rounds. The pilot selects the type of ammunition in flight. The weight of the ammunition is 0.39kg each round, the muzzle velocity is 980m/s and the range is up to 4km. The gun provides an angular firing accuracy of 2 to 4 mrad. It's the same gun that is used on BMP-2's and Mi-28's (so it can actually be mounted under the nose ;)) Also this page has some good info about the gun and its ammo. http://us.geocities.com/russianammo/30mm.html i7-2600k@4GHz, 8GB, R9 280X 3GB, SSD, HOTAS WH, Pro Flight Combat Pedals, TIR5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Witchking Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 thanx for the reply olgerd. The second link you provided works. :) wow.....I agree on how maneuverable that thing is... sheesh....:p Also ED for tank killers or lomac 2... since you are re-working the engine.. can you add:: -- a lot more heat blur with simple shaders....that do not cause much fps hit. -- bubble system of detailing....as in games like SH3 -- dynamic component falling apart or breaking with wonderful explosions as in SH3. -- Most of all...a better sound and air traffic engine. to make us feel we are flying in a big world. lol....that was OT there...but I wouldn't mind if the waving grass blades etc...show up in 1.2. ;) WHISPR | Intel I7 5930K | Nvidia GTX980 4GB GDDR5 | 16GB DDR4 | Intel 730 series 512GB SSD | Thrustmaster WARTHOG | CH Pro Pedals | TrackIR4 pro | |A-10C|BS2 |CA|P-51 MUSTANG|UH-1H HUEY|MI-8 MTV2 |FC3|F5E|M2000C|AJS-37|FW190|BF 109K|Mig21|A-10:SSC,EWC|L-39|NEVADA| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Witchking Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 well...I had to say this::: " THAT IS CRAP...its such low quality...look ...I can see the pixels on that thing....lol....NO way is it as good as this/// the devs have to learn from the people who made this game ;)... lol....(considering its the same team at ED) ;) .... just joking. I am still drooling at:: look at that weathering and detail......aaaaah :o anyways...I just forgot to ask:: "IS there any possible reason to HOPE or expect walking tiny people in lomac...or is the engine too far to implement a skeletal system."??? I would definately say...its worth spending time at little ppl animations :D adds a lot to the game.....sorry....SIM.
