Also, does anyone have anything solid on the powerplant of Z10ME? I do hear the 1200 KW figure often, but I do not know where it comes from. Currently Z10ME shares the same 950~~ KW powerplant with base Z10 in the tree.

It should be a WZ-9G from what I’ve seen, having 1500hp, but I could be wrong
Both use the L370 Vitebsk (Laser Based which most DIRCM systems are) system, the Ka-52 just has 2 modules for more coverage above and below the Helicopter whereas the Mi-28NM only has 1 fitted underneath the fuselage.
I hope the Z-10ME at least gets the CM-502KG or some sort of F&F missile, HMD, more rockets (guided and unguided), upgraded DIRCM, x16 AKD-10 loadout, and proper RWR
If the DIRCM stays the same way as it is in top tier it will basically be useless against modern missiles anyways, and we would have to grind ANOTHER helicopter just to get a radar as the only real upgrade.

Does anyone have any documentation on the 25mm cannon for the Z-10ME/A? Should be bushmaster copy
the Z10ME does not have 25 mm it is either 23 mm ( possibly in export modification 30 mm )
the Z10ME with the DIRCM should be as effective as this
“4 Hours ago”/“Dev Server”/“New meta?”
does this guy not know the 28NM and Ka-52 already have it?
and have done for almost 2 years or something
Either way it should be similarly effective, providing it gets modelled I guess.
What did they smoke again. DIRCM was already not modelled properly, they made it even more blatant bs?

As someone who flies the Mi-28NM and Ka-52 often, I’m fairly certain this is new (before it would only work on most air to air missiles and manpad type missiles)
I’ve always feared PARS LR especially for having a pretty high hit rate on my helicopters but this just nullifies it completely
If the Z-10ME was properly modeled with DIRCM and weapons it would go crazy

I think it also affects agms now. so things like firing mavericks, spikes, etc towards ka52s no longer work
Is there anyone could find a video from the Pakistan pilot test Z10? I do remember from that video that shows Z10 could take more cannon ammunition(at least 600 rounds) with higher RPM, and the other video shows it has HMD for using TY90
I have the impression that they have reworked the DIRCCM so that the AGMs are more impacted by this defense system, in any case on the furom everyone is talking about it at the moment

I have an impression on that video but IDK where I saw it. Gonna look at CCTV app first. See if I can find it.
Do you guys happen to have pictures of the Z-10ME-02 with ATGMs on the inner pylon? Otherwise gaijin will pull their usual nonsense and limit it to 8
Nope. I don’t think that ever happened.
Rip so it will never get 16 ATGMs

Likely not. Should have guided rocket pod though. And I don’t mind if CM502s come in cause every IR heli only get 8.
Doesn’t the Israeli Blackhawk get 16?
