I always thought that the Z-10 ME was the one with the MMW radar, so that it could also fire the radar-guided BA-21, which is similar to the Hellfire Longbow. Given that China already has an 11.7 helicopter and as far as I know no FaF missiles whose range wouldn’t be absolutely OP, I can’t see them adding another helicopter to the lineup. Unless they take the next step with radar-guided missiles. Because at the moment all the Apache nations and China are at a disadvantage compared to Germany, Italy, France and Russia when it comes to attack helicopters. The former use FaF guided missiles and Russia has the fast flying Vhikrs with their long range of 10 km. AKD-10 also has a range of 10 km and very high penetration values, but the speed is too slow. And the Hellfire K only has a range of 8 km and has to be actively guided into the target. Hellfire Longbow and Ba-21 (which is much faster than akd 10) would be something like balancing justice, because they should offer the possibility to aim at the target behind cover only with the radar outside due to the mast-bound radar. It also offers the possibility of hitting through smoke.
Some more pictures showing off more weapons
+1 the best known chinese heli
Here’s more image, and the newest Z10ME equipped with a radar.
Assuming box with the bulb is part of an IRCM system?
Yes and based on the information it have In addition to the large-capacity shell bay/external bomb chain that has been displayed before, it is also equipped with cockpit/engine armor and a new air intake filter. Radar masts, etc., and more importantly, it is equipped with a complete new self-defense kit, including a new system of warning devices and active infrared suppression systems.
And you can go check these two video, this is the Pakistan piolet test drive the Z-10ME in Pakistan.
+1 Since spikes are ingame too, a chinese heli with IR guided CM502KG wouldnt be that big of a problem later on in the year
Yes, a DIRCM system similar to L-370. As a medium sized heli, Z-10 doesn’t have much inner space for these additional equipments, so they are hanging all around.
I guess gaijin could add this attack helicopter to rank VIII
can I play CM502 while I’m alive?
All hail mighty snail,
please bless us with this vehicle instead of a copy past of another nation
Top tier China has a lot of unique vehicles that could attract more players to play China
we need it
considering there are only 2 Z-10ME protypes, exhibited everywhere, and with different loadouts/improved details, it’s better to edit the suggestion to prototype1, so the changes in later exhibition can be involved in.

Oh, great Gaijin deity, please add this helicopter to the game!
how about copy pasting german uht into france tt like it is any better than current existing block 2 ?
I think it should get BlueArrow-11. FnF missile is needed for top helis, but CM-502 is rejected for it’s 25km range. Though there is not much information for BA-11, but it shares almost same structure as BA-7, so it’s reasonable to make it a 8km fnf like spike in game.
Bro, this comparison is not accurate. The Z10ME has added a search radar above the main rotor, upgraded its weapon system to support a wide variety of export-oriented weapons, and features additional armor on the airframe. It is also equipped with infrared countermeasures. Compared to the original version, it has undergone significant upgrades, resulting in a noticeable improvement in combat capabilities.
