Another point is that Apache can mount 16 rounds of AGM-114, while Z-10 can only choose 8 rounds of AKD10/AKD9

And the Z-10 can mount 8-16 TY-90’s while the Apache can only carry 4 stingers, which are substantially worse than the TY-90’s. The helicopter is clearly balanced around its much better air to air capabilities in WT. We don’t need more powercreep and better helicopters, the Russian ones are already nightmare enough.

We should not argue about this. Every player hopes that their country can obtain better vehicles (except for those traitors)

This has nothing to do with Z10.
If you want better Apache go start a new thread, rather than stopping others request for better Z10 here.

Comparing the Z10 to the AH64 has nothing to do with the Z10? Weird

Considering the TY-90 can only trade at best vs other Helicopters; that sounds tragic (or just not do anything the the 28NM/Ka-52 because of DIRCM). And if you’re playing for the TY-90s then you may as well say the Z-19 is the top tier helicopter since it has radar and the cannon on the Z-10 is extremely bad anyway. Mald about the AH-64s being bad in another thread.

This isnt malding about the AH-64, its pointing out that barring the obviously OP Russian helicopters NOBODY likes to deal with, all other helicopters in-game are at a pretty good place balance-wise currently relative to each other and that introducing a better Z-10 would likely be largely a negative shift in the game. The fact some of you fail to understand a simple concept like that is rather embarrassing tbh.

This is just discussions of another model of Z-10, not adding 15km Fire and Forget CM-502s or smthin. And there’s already a model of Helicopter with TY-90s and Radar in the tech tree Z-19, a Z-10 with radar isn’t going to tilt game balance.

Except, if you’d actually bothered reading the convo, you’d know that its also been discussed adding the Z10M with its CM502’s, or buffing the current missiles on the Z10, etc…
I dont have an issue with a Z10 with the same things it currently has + a radar, I have an issue with asking for buffs when they arent needed, nor would they be healthy

I have followed the convo that’s why I know it was brought up as potential, not a request.
I wouldn’t mind a buff at all, the fire rate of the gun is wrong, the rockets pods are wrong and anti-air-heli-lol is a really terrible niche when your on the same team as Pantsirs or facing off Ka-52/Mi-28/AH.1/UHTs.

From 2018, Z10 could carry at least 6 types of missiles, not only cm502kg, but I am not sure what are they. The only reason Gaijin will choose CM502KG is the document limit.

Current z10 is still underperforming as is. The cannon rof is about half of what it should be to start

Those heli radar are mostly trash anyways, they only 8km out with really slow refresh rate. The ka52 and mi28 are the only ones with decent radar

Cant even count the amount of times ive died because the 23mm cannon is shooting WAY TO FUC*ING SLOW. I flank a ka52 and open fiire for a good 8 seconds and he turns around one onetaps me with his 30mm. Just disgraceful

That is largely untrue.
Phoenix has NOTHING on AMRAAM C3 & PL-12.
Anyone here have any info on the 23mm mounted on the z10? Its very suspect that a relatively small caliber would shoot so slow. Its hvap has good initial velocity but the rate of fire is too slow to deal with air targets. All the 23mm’s I can think of fire at least twice as fast. All the soviet cannons do which I’m sure this is derived from.

There’s a video online of the 23mm cannon firing in real life and it’s incredibly fast compared to the warthunder Z-10, this is the link for the video, it’s one YouTube https://youtu.be/_hExyADDbFE

Looks like a different cannon though? It appears there are 2 different cannons used on the z10
Or maybe the same with a slightly different housing; it does seem to share the same muzzle
They look incredibly similar and I can’t see any difference between them compared to the ingame one
I can’t tell what that version is in the video due to it being pitch black. A few versions I’ve found of the cannon firing don’t show that a high RoF (still entirely possible the 23mm has different fire modes)
(0:48-0:52)
(3:35-3:38)
