DCS Ka-50 updates

I really like these WIP shots, it’s cool to see all the geometry without any textures or lighting that may make certain parts harder to see.

Ooh, Igla…that’s going to make a change in functionality.

Now if it got RWR too that would make me a really happy camper…hovering at my little camp between the hills…with my RWR assisted SA and Iglas growling eagerly at the oblivious fighters above…like the Gazelle but bigger, uglier and with more boomsticks.

From what I’ve heard it still doesn’t have an RWR but it does get a MAWS coupled with DIRCM (President-S). I don’t know if the details are already finalized, though.

Arise, ye undead thread!

So I been sharkin’ it up a bit this weekend, flying the “Pandemic” campaign. Already in mission 2 is it kicking my arse, as I can’t for the life of me pick up wheeled air defence units that are parked in an urban zone. Is there a way to switch shkval to IR or something? make them stand out a little? I was hovering out of range and peeking, peeking. Flew over to a different hill to see if I could get a lock from a different angle… nothing.

Then at 5 or 6km out a BMP-2 blasted me. Because why would you invest in ZSU-23-4’s, SA-8’s, etc when you have glorious air defence IFV of motherland, da? I’m not miffed at this at all, no sir. Is perfectly realistic to have BMP shoot helicopter at 5km.

This is my experience as well when I fly any remotely serious single player Ka-50 content. I cannot see the enemy until they suddenly shoot me.
Had good fun hunting a Gazelle Mistral once in Blue Flag though.
