Yeah ATAS my bad. About the speed it has different engines than the TT, stat card indicates much higher speed as well (which i think it might be true this time).
The biggest problem with atas with the current state of manpads is the lack of proxy fuse. I get some kills every now and then with the igla just because it has a fuse
Also they have half the Gs they should. currently 10Gs, should be 20-22Gs.
oaky, didnt know about the speed bit, though you arent exactly rushing around in GRB, so I consider that a small advantage over the TT and not really all that important
Due,you can use ground force to research helicopter tech tree.
Bisides,Soviet 11.0 ground force are too weak to fight with US and Japan,if you bring it to 11.3+,then you should try MI-28N in the tech tree
Lynx still has the conventional helicopter speed record. I’m doubtful the flight model in game reflects that though. It feels very sluggish for something supposedly so agile in real life.
It also gets ATAS, not mistrals.
It’s nowhere near as undertiered as the ka-50.
Ka-50 is probably one of the scariest vehicles to fight when it’s using the Vikhr missiles properly. They’ll kill Jets, tanks, helicopters, and really anything else they lock onto.
Pretty sure it’s the fastest in the game as well. It’s very agile from low to mid speeds. At high speeds, if you do a high G turn it can tilt and flip due to the tail rotor (most likely)
Just because a nation suffers in one regard, doesn’t mean it should be brokenly OP in other. Britain ~10.3 has loads of pretty good MBTs and ridiculously OP helis.
I mean, helicopter with thermals and Hellfires going against IR missiles is just plain stupid.
That thing at 10.3 is just as busted as Ka-50.
They are far far from “Ridiculously OP”. By the fact they’ve only just moved it up to 10.3 kinda proves that and for the most part, that doesnt really affect the line up as most run it at 10.3 anyway. This is Britain we are talking about. Anything even slightly strong just gets nerfed into the ground. Last time we had something strong was SRAAM and look at it now. The airframes are probably both too high in BR and the missiles dont even work anymore. Starstreaks were really good, but now phase through all targets and have been artificially nerfed to not do damage to anything heavier than an IFV
Having 8 Hellfires, 2 Stingers and crystal clear thermals with RWR going with it as well, is definitely too strong considering your ground foes won’t even be able to engage you for the most part.
Not worth it. Don’t buy this junk.
11.0 BR without thermal imaging is worthless. You’ll see practically nothing and you’ll be shot down immediately after launching from the helipad.
Maybe if they added a ka-50n modification with thermal imaging it would be worth the price and its BR.
Currently it’s an overpriced crap at high BR.
2 stingers which are unusable and gaijin refuses to fix them.
Hellfires that do a fraction of the damage they should and don’t have the right flight profile nor can you LOAL with them like you should be able to I believe.
They also require you keep laser lock on the target, which leaves you very exposed, especially with no MAWS. They are also slow, meaning it takes an age to hit a target at max range. If you are sitting still and letting a heli fire Hellfires at you are max range, then you deserve to be killed
It really isn’t. I have both.
It has 12X magnification at 10.3. That’s significantly worse than basically every other helicopter.
They’re still too strong to be at 10.3, facing 9.3 vehicles.
You can conveniently lock a target, basically no aim is required. This allows you to redirect attention elsewhere.
Also, MAWs at 10.3 would be basically cheating.
There’s no reason for you to be at their max range.
Hellfires don’t even take 20s to travel 5km, so that’s what, a couple of shots fired from the same spot.
You somehow have much better stats in G-LYNX than in Ka-50, a vehicle you call busted.
There’s not many helicopters at 10.3, but from what I could’ve seen those with better zoom have only 4 Hellfires, while you have double the amount.
Aside from the fact that looking at one individuals stats is a complete waste of time, I used the Ka-50 to rocket rush when grinding the russian helicopter tree. The fact that I have even remotely normal looking stats is a testament to how ridiculously powerful the ka-50 is.
The AH-6M and OH-58D get four hellfire Ks instead of eight hellfire Bs.
The A129CBT gets a 20mm chin turret, 8 hellfire Bs, 4 Mistrals. Let me guess, that that’s broken OP too? If everything is broken OP to CAS-whiners, then nothing is.
Nice job getting 100+ air kills while doing rushes.
Still, you’re trading half of your missiles just for a tandem warhead.
It kinda is, actually most helis at around that BR are unironically brokenly OP, and that’s without even considering their ridiculously unrealistic damage models.
They are literally untouchable by many SPAAs at their BR range, while those few others are far away from being an effective counter.
Vikhrs can do that and engage ground units pretty easily at the same time, but that’s not even the point.
I was trying to say those helis (G-LYNX included) will basically dominate most ground vehicles they come across, and even if something has the theoretical range to counter them, it will have loads of issues on it’s own and is far from being an efficient counter.
That’s like you have, let’s say, a X BR vehicle that can just stay out of effective range of most vehicles it faces, while seal clubbing them in the process.
The amount of crap that is going out of your brains is insane just to drive this topic to your favorite one. You are polluting the forum discussions with all your crap.
Seeing the witch hunt on Ka-50 by the people that use equally broken things from other countries is something I have to react to.
