This one, and the precursor KA-52, the first model variant, should be added, and folders with the KA-52.
Longbows seem reasonable, but Brimstones have 20+ km range, no? I mean at least the Kh-38s are offset (somewhat) by the shitty thermals and inability to lock on a target past 12km or so; however, Brimstones would be able to lock onto targets from 20km away with 3+ gen thermals… seems a bit of a ask…
Im not so sure about the Hermes. I read that it was tested on the Ka-50/52 family but I dont know about fielded.
i heard some were used in ukraine but sadly got no videos
From Heli launch, Brimstone 1s more like 12km. Air launch from a Harrier Gr9A or Tornado Gr4 they’d be about 20km

Don’t be so greedy. The current Ka52 is good enough to be one of meta helis for at least another year. It was introduced too early.

Helicopters haven’t been meta for good while now. Grippen, Mirage, JH7, F16 CAS are MUCH more capable than any heli in the game
I have 3 kill/spawn ratio on ah mk1 and ka52. And that with spawning on any map (even super bad for helis), with any weather, at any time of the match (even close to end) when i grind enough sp. I consider it pretty effective. Not many people have same on their cas planes that cost more sp to spawn.

Imagine AH-64E with 16 proximity fuse AGM-114L-8 so Russians have something to cry about )))

I have not seen it since the introduction of GBU or the version first MACLOS missile with AGM-12 back in the day but right after the launch of Mig-27K, Ru Bias everywhere.
The AMX is a killer in the 10.0-10.3 BR
Good player can even counter 2S6 but meh, if that not Italy, gonna have a poll to 11.3 right after it launch.
It was polled to go up to 10.7 but did not.

3k/d is kinda trash for ka52 and ahmk1 though, before current Grippen/F16 meta and multiple heli nerfs 6-5k/d was easy to achieve in ka52,Mi28, UHT or AhMk1. Meanwhile Grippen/Mirage2k/SM3 can easily get 6+ k/d
I said 3 k/s. Kill/spawn. If you want k/d (absolutely meaningless stat) than i have 8.17 in ka52 and 6.5 in ah mk1 in my last games.
I’d say more accurately. Non-soviet helis haven’t been meta for a while. SPAA such as Pantsirs hard block most nations even considering using a Heli. But I get killed by soviet helis all the time because they don’t have to contend with Pantsirs
It still possible to just punch the pantsir in the face with starstreak but hell do it need Air to Air missile to do that job? They can give longbow hellfire with some limit of their ability right now (they done that sht with PARS-3 before)
