Most matches, the ka-50 i use stops firing its missiles or shooting the cannon even if ti gets sligthly damaged in the tail while most planes can still manage to shoot missiles if they miss a wing or something like that, this is not fair

what?
Hello,
This goes for all Helicopters at the moment, Gaijin has said they’re tweaking the Heli damage model and are still figuring out how this can be used balance them , and it’s just not just specific to the Ka-50.

Even if you’re not hit…if something explodes near you position (HE VT f.e.), your weapons always cease to work. Avionics always stop working. Then you can just bail, if you’re not close to the landing pad.
they can start by undoing these stupid changes to helicopters.
I agree that it can be a good change for missile gameplay, but maybe guns and rockets should still work. Not sure. how i like that idea but it would give lower tier helicopters a little bit more of a chance.
It is not only Kamov but ALL Helicopter, even thoses who don’t have the new parts modelised inside. That proove Gaijin tweak this like this: a single damage in your fuselage and you loose the ability of the camera or the weapons to fire them.
My last game again in my Ah-Whiskey, i evade a missile of 2s6 who just put my carcass yellow and my left hellfire pod black= i can’t use my gunner sight for use my hellfire right or my rockets at all! No canon too! Same situation with my HAP many times…tired another bullshits…
As you can see, if you have one side of secondary slightly damaged, you can’t use any weapon at all
ps: ah i forgot one thing, if you try to do a ticket bug, they always say the sam things stupid:" this is not a bug, this is a new features". So many are tired of this attitude.
I noticed the same. A proxy HE shell exploded somewhere next to me. The hull was just turned yellow, but the weapon control was totally lost. Despite the chopper (Tiger) was totally undamaged, it became useless. I bailed and left the match.
An addition no one wanted. We wanted a nerf of these omnipresent Kamov and Mi-28 helis with their Vikhrs. Instead all became nonsense. Why do you program damage models at all, when the slightest scratch throws you out of the match?
Seems like I’ve chosen the worst time to grind my japanese helicopters. Those don’t even have the modules modeled yet. As stated above, literally ANY HIT TO THE FUSELAGE disables all my weaponry.
It appears this issue has been going on for months now, what’s taking so long, Gaijin?
What makes this even more dumb is that if you have long range missiles already researched, you can use helis no problem, you’re not gonna get hit and if you do, it will be a killing blow from a SAM anyway.
But if you’re a low tier or a stock heli? Lol, lmao even, good luck. You better not get scratched by that 5.56mm bullet or your weapons die.

…what??? If it explodes next to you, considered a hit…Indirect hit, but still a hit thanks to its HE-VT…lol
If the fuselage just turns yellow it shouldn’t be a cripping hit. Cause it oviously did not penetrate. But the avionics is always out, strangely.
They already said they are working on modeling the FCS modules for the remaining helis. For now your just going to have to deal with it till Gaijin is done with it.
It looks like you and I are playing different games.
The survivability of helicopters in the game is absurd and stupid. I died several times after hitting the AH64 Apache once or twice with missiles such as the 9M311-M1, VT-1, 95Ya6, etc. The same goes for the KA-50, 52, 29, EC655, etc. It is very stupid to inflate survivability when a nearly direct or absolutely direct hit on a helicopter with a full-fledged large SAM is achieved, considering that in reality a helicopter can survive a maximum of a small number of hits with 12.7 or 23 mm, and a hit from any MANPADS is guaranteed to at least disable it, and more often simply set it on fire/explode it and kill the crew. This is not to mention the full-fledged large SAMs that I wrote about above.
Total disagree. Helis are so weak. they dont need the ekstra debufff
Loosing weapon control due to small damage to avionics makes no sense
its like loosing the main cannon in an MBT because you got tracked
Helis gets swattet out of the sky instant by all who ses it. so either bad luck or a skill issue not killing it

the problem is to hit the helicopter/drone exactly or close?) Lmao, you are not familiar with the damage mechanics in the game. Go to the damage analyzer in the game and try to hit the cockpit AH64/EC665 or the gun area with a VT1; MIM146; 95Я6; 9М311-1М missile. The helicopter will easily survive, which is impossible in reality - in reality, it will be torn apart by such powerful missiles despite its light armor and will be instantly destroyed. Even MANPADS in reality easily kill armored Ka50/52 helicopters - a helicopter is not a tank and its armor is extremely limited in weight and area, you know yourself that in reality their tactics are to emerge from behind cover at a fairly large distance, quickly strike and run away. Because otherwise it will quickly turn into a pile of expensive junk even from the weakest MANPADS and a line of 30mm shells.
Our game is so crooked that it doesn’t even have shell fragments and anti-aircraft missiles, radio and laser fuses that change the sensitivity radius depending on the target. I recently died because an assault drone easily withstood 4-5 of my 9M311-1M missiles and killed me with an ATGM. After that, don’t lie to people about how they can’t play.
Gentlemen, do you really think that these pieces of plastic crap are capable of withstanding a hit from even one anti-aircraft missile?) Yes, it will be torn into small pieces, or even a long-range explosion from a single missile will cut it with rods and shrapnel, break the engine and wings, clog the optics and tear out/break/detonate the ATGMs.
If you’re having problems with Strike Drones in SAMs like FlaRakRad and 2S6 I’d consider not being catastrophically bad at the game
maybe even uninstall
Lmao, funny gaijins agents with one-day or closed ones are trying to object. but people who constantly face disabled damage to drones (including recon drones) know what I’m talking about. Gaijins need to work with their heads and not use cheap attacks of hired Streikbrechers. Of course, if they have at least one convolution of the brain that will allow to understand the distribution of fragments, the area of destruction of the shock wave of anti-aircraft missiles. and the principle of their fuses.
