Z-10A also got the WZ-9C and it’s now a squadron vehicle aswell
did they just… nerf the standard Z-10 to make the Z-10A and Z-10ME more desirable? 🤔
also this kinda just makes the base Z-10 a sidegrade to the tree Z-19 at best
Thats a weird change considering both the Z-10 and Z-19 have the physical models for MAWS
Atleast thats what I assumed they are…



They likely haven’t got around to correcting the physical model yet.
The issue is, Z10 never had MAWS removed.
These are images from a 2013 article why remove something its always had?
I don’t know much about Chinese aviation outside of a few flankers, I was just throwing my guess in there.
even this ancient photo of the Z-10 prototype (bottom) seems to have sensors you see on the production model
I’m not sure what Gaijin is doing here, if they’re making ahistorical changes to the Z-10 just to make the Z-10ME seem more like a viable upgrade to game the tech tree, I will be sorely disappointed (currently, if the Z-10ME ships in its current state, the only upgrade will be the engine, DIRCM suite and the radar, giving it a BR bump in 0.3)
I should also remind that the Z-10 in general is still missing these features that are reported and acknowledged:
- HMD (Acknowledged since over 1 year ago)
- Larger rocket pods (Acknowledged over 1 year ago)
- TY-90 renamed to AKK-90 (Acknowledged over 1 year ago)
- x16 AKD-10 loadout (Closed, but linked by Smin to a thread reported over 2 years ago where it was passed to developers)
Well I mean Gaijin doesn’t do much modelling so they’ll have to give it out to another company/ workshop and do it there. What’s more annoying is they pretend to be blind and rejects the reports. Pretty annoying, it’s not that it doesn’t have MAWS annoys me at this point, I’m just gonna never play heli, but RN, it’s the attitude.
Z19 missing HMD // Gaijin.net // Issues
There is also the HMD system for Chinese helicopters, which GAIJIN acknowledged many years ago but has been hesitant to release
CM-502KG was also accepted 3 months ago, NOW is the the time to get the munition added with the latest Z-10ME variant!
Thats great, engines on Z-10 are trash
It does the job and it’s not just the engine that does everything, there’s the drag profile and lots of other things in any case the maneuverability of the Z10s is light years away from the top tier Russian helicopters otherwise you also play the AH 1W you’ll understand
It may not be the best engine but overall the Z10s are decent and this new engine is more than beneficial
It climbs poorly with full loadout, arround 7m/s. Ka-52 do 12m/s under same conditions
with the heaviest load 8 AKD 10 and 8 TY 90 I have a climb rate of 10.8 in low attitude
8.6 for rooivalk
8.3 for AH64A
with the heaviest load 8 AKD 10 and 8 TY 90 I have a climb rate of 10.1 in low attitude and to test with other helicopters not only Russian ones, there is worse in climb rate than the Z10 in full load
the Z10 remains correct without being incredible, he is average
the AH 64A is really the worst of the 3 tested in terms of handling and the Z10ME is the most responsive

Comparing heavy helicopters with medium helicopters is inherently unreasonable
