Ka50/52 are some of the best helis in the game very powerful plus they can out range most SAMs and SPAA platforms (a lot of helicopters can not just the ka50/52) they need a way to be defeated be it better spaa/sams or CAP aircraft costs

What where you thinking making this post

A lot of things I want to say but…no point saying as its all repeated in other posts lol but yea, Helis are already and still are very strong in GRB and soooo incredibly difficult to shoot down than jets…

This is a lie.
Radar, flight control, etc are modeled on fixed wing aircraft.
No objections for other points.

Top tier helicopter sits 2m above the peak of the hill.
MAW activates.
Dips down few meters in order to dodge a missile.
How are SAMs supposed to counter this gameplay ?
My dude you were somehow able to fly back to your airfield while missing two-thirds of your tail and as far as I can tell your left wing was broken off. Losing your horizontal and vertical stabilizer should make the helicopter uncontrollable above 100 km/h impossible (of which I doubt you stayed below that coming back), but the CoG shift alone should’ve pitched you straight into the ground.
You forget to realize he said avionics, not control and radar systems
If this were the case, where is the classic MiG-27 vibrating the entire instrument panel and making it fall into the lap of the pilot modeled?
u know that is a Ka50 right? U know in WT there isn’t such thing as wind, or even turbulence, so it have no problem flying back as the thing itself is in equilibrium of forces.
Still wouldn’t matter; a gust of wind is nothing to a helicopter in that configuration.

Actual MiG-23 conducting missions with 30mm gun:
‘Comrade Brezhnev, Banzai!!!’
But it is missing a wing, which means the pilot IRL would need to control the force of lift on the right side, a gust of wind would mean if he doesn’t react: he dead.
Which isn’t possible above 100 km/h, due to the rotors not having enough authority (as even single-rotor helicopters can fly straight above 100 km/h without a functional tail rotor). Any sort of overcorrection, no matter how minor, should cause an uncontrollable crash.
Also, the CoG change should cause the helicopter to crash regardless.
If it’s missing a pylon side, that doesn’t change a thing, only helicopter that would matter on is the Mi-24, as that was the entire reason for the Dihedral wing and pylon configuration. Centrifugal force alone is enough to counteract it.
Not really, but okay. Speed, generally speaking with the Ka-50 doesn’t change much, as long as it has enough RPM’s, it can push air if you don’t have max collective.
Except if the rotors don’t have enough authority to correct the yaw and pitch (which is especially hard when you’re missing half your tail, your vertical stabilizer, your horizontal stabilizer, and your left wing), it will crash.
So, like, ignoring the laws of physics real quick, yeah.
Max collective, your tail (currently dust in the wind, literally) imparts no counteractive force when using rotor yaw, or the normal yaw which imparts spin by releasing the clutch on the rotor of which direction you want to go. As for pitch, it doesn’t really matter, as long as you aren’t getting the red flashing “Reduce Speed!” You should be able to easily able to control it.
Ground RB is the only real game mode for heli owners.

You know most of the community complained about helicopter and helipad AA being annoying and overpowered, right? that’s why they got nerfed/ removed in the case of the AA, and aircraft don’t have molded avionics because they can jam their guns while helicopters cand do it (under normal use) (they can but you will more than likely run out of ammo first)
The wings rip off before you get to the speeds where vibrations would impact anything.
Cause the mach 1.6x speed limit is the artificial limit set by the manual, not by the airframe.
Radar/control surfaces are part of avionics.
