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.
