I lol’d at the tech mod using youtube clips as proof

I never actually checked the in-game model, does the Ka-52 in game have the system physically modeled?
I don’t think mass production Ka-52 would be accepted into service if it did not have rwr.
The big report used a video about Ka-52E
Export variants have different electronics, for example the optics pod, and defense complex. I think the rwr sensors are in different places which is why you wont find the version in game having those where the rosoboronEXPORT video showed

further down the thread has more dysentery because someone also claimed maws can detect gunfire from gepards. it feels like a comedy to me, I haven’t heard anything about president-s detecting guns before
+1 I need it
im pretty sure that someone already proved it uses rwr . i just forgot what the L-150 sensors look like so i cant find the pic.
where is this pic from ?
Dubai Airshow 23.
EVIL!!! Hell no

is the LMUR an fire and forget weapon?
I thought that as well but there is nothing on the Ka-52 in Russian service( and in game) that looks like it would be an L-150 antenna. You can very clearly see them on the wings of the Ka-52E in Egyptian service. You can very clearly see the antennas on other helicopters like the Mi-28 both irl and In game. But they are nowhere on the normal Ka-52.
I highly doubt that they are using a different style of antenna for L-150 on only the Ka-52 and i doubt even more that they are hidden or in a different location. So either the Ka-52 in Ru service is using an entirely different rwr and therefore different antennas or it doesn’t have an rwr at all…

It’s fire and forget and NLOS but right now it only has a fire and forget feature which you’ll find on the Mi-28NM in the upcoming update.

do you know what an L-150 antenna looks like? from where? rosoboronexport video advertised a Ka-52K (export) with a different defense system (upgraded president-s, not the version seen in game)

The the antennas of the L-150 that the Ka-52 allegedly has look like this on the Mi-28N and NM
Spoiler
pardon my horrific paint skills
I couldnt find a good irl image of the tail antennas so an in game screenshot will have to do
The Mi-8 AMTSh-VN has them in these locations
Spoiler
The Ka-52 in game nor does it seem that any real life examples have these antennas present anywhere on the air frame.
That being said the Ka-52E and K do seem to possess them
Interestingly enough the Ka-52M itself seems to be on both sides of the fence with some of the prototypes having them and some not
Spoiler
L-150 antennas can be clearly seen on the wingtips in this image
here it can be seen without them
and another earlier example of MAKS 2021
(though this one could also just be a normal Ka-52 being used as a testbed)
Interestingly enough this one also has a datalink pod, the old DIRCM system and a different EOTS ball compared to the two shown in the ops post
So once again either the normal Ka-52 uses a different RWR entirely or it doesn’t possess one at all. and again i very highly doubt Russia is using different antennas for L-150 only the Ka-52 when every other air frame both fixed wing and rotary seemingly use the same style of antennas for L-150.

makes sense!
Been trying to figure that out myself.
