The Ka-52M which was introduced in 2023 is a minor upgrade of the current Ka-52 we have in game.
The new version announced by the Russian Ministry of Defense in 2018 eventually crystalized into the Ka-52M; 114 helicopters of this new version are to be acquired. Additionally, older Ka-52s are to be upgraded to Ka-52M standard. The contract for the first 30 Ka-52Ms was signed in August 2021. A new contract was signed in August 2022. Upgrades embodied in the Ka-52M include a modernized GOES-451M electro-optical targeting turret with an increased range, stronger undercarriage wheels, and improved cockpit ergonomics, with better adaptation to the use of night-vision goggles.The LMUR missile is added to the helicopter’s armament options. Several new radar types are being considered for the Ka-52M but it seems likely that the AESA radar is mounted in the nose. A new self-protection system will also be fitted to the Ka-52M, replacing the current L370-5 Vitebsk. Lastly, the Ka-52M is adapted to work within a new battlefield command and control system. The Russian military received its first 10 modified Ka-52M helicopters on 4 January 2023. The state defense order for the helicopters was doubled in 2023.
I voted “no” first and foremost because it’s a helicopter xD
The fact that it’s ALSO Russian is just an extra lmao
We really don’t need more of this in the game, ground Top Tier is already enough of a wreck with all the KA-50s, KA-52s, MI-28NMs, SU-39s, SU-25SM3s and alikes.
even if the added the AH64E it would not have fire and forget missiles until maybe a year after its the last man standing so there would be no need to add it.
I don’t see a huge issue with this one coming, I would like to see the prototype Ka-52s added.
For of the Ka-52M I do believe other nations should get their up to date variations of the AH-64 like the E model with brimstones and perhaps mavericks, if it were to get the Longbow Hellfires then add the Hermes-A to the Ka-52M.
