Ka-52 - yes they often are
Apaches - almost never
hello IRIS? hello AIM-9X? maybe you shouldn’t be speaking about topics you know nothing about. only LDIRCM (mi28nm, z10me) can defeat those two.
@Славянский_Прострел
Instead of having posts that are rage baiting people with insults, maybe provide civil discussion.
Last time I tested DIRCM it functioned against 9X.
And instead of having posts containing rage bait [when a post contains provocative personal attacks in order to anger someone into an emotional response], you could discuss and be like “Yo. That may have changed. You should look into it.”
what insults?
when?

You both are wrong.
FnF helicoters are infinitely better than KA52.
And also, alvis is claiming he have years of experience, yet the has like 3 or 4 battles in GRB with KA52.
is that why they are never seen in sqbs?
An outright lie considering that you don’t need experience in GRB to prove your statement is false. This can easily be proven false bringing them into a test drive. The 2A42 is the best cannon for helicopter. Better rounds, highly accurate, and has can hit targets much farther.
You’re probably not gonna test it so here’s what I’ve noticed:
Ka52/Mi28: 6ish km
Rooivalk & Z-10: 3.5ishkm
Apache & Eurocopter: 3.1ish km
Viper/other m197 platforms: 3ish km
So i guess abrams is the best tank then? conisdering 99% of sqbs and tournaments are played with them
wouldn’t call it best as it isn’t in the 100%, but it is decent!
huh
I thought the M197 was really **** for some reason
Again, that .77K/D is only for only ground kills. It’s .99K/D for ground + air which is a more accurate representation of what this can do.
Even then, it’s not too far from my average K/D. For a vehicle that is not meant to go toe to toe with MBTs, it was extremely good when it came out because of how highly survivable it was. Even now it has decent stats for a premium that has gone on sale multiple times.
Correct but that’s mainly because the Ka52 doesn’t have LDIRCM. The Mi28NM is better because it completely counters the new spaas where as the FnF helis cannot and will most likely be killed the moment they are spotted.
all these cannons except for the russian ones suck. they are only usable against air targets, but even that is overshadowed by the 2A42.

if you have a brain yes the 10.7 or 11.3 abrams are really good but the average us player is trash

I understand your perspective and accept it.
The lowest penetration of 30mm HEDP is 50.Xmm [angled armor]. It only increases [maybe marginally] as it gets slower.
On top of that it’s 28.2 grams of filler, which while not a lot, that is enough to cause significant post-pen damage for the round’s size.
A smaller faster more accurate AH-1G 40mm round. Hehehe.
In comparison 30mm AP-T pens a maximum of 65mm as a solid projectile.
And APDS pens a maximum of 82mm [62mm angled] as a shatter-able round with even less post-pen comparing to AP-T.
Neither are particularly useful in GRB these days, but both cannons were a few of my GRB frags back in 2021 during my learning.
The Apache’s 30mm remains my favorite helicopter cannon, there is no 2nd place for me.
I will say this, I would take the 2A42 over all other conventional helicopter guns though except maybe the AH-1W’s 2x rotary pylons with Hellfires.
Again, it’s still negative + it’s still far lower than your average K/D, even if you add up air kills to artificially boost it’s K/D.
This vehicle is bad and numbers don’t lie.
No, but you need to think about the whole story. It’s a support vehicle for a BR range full of players that are not able to be supported because they’ve one death left before you can even say the word support. Look at your winrate in the 2S38. Terrible. Mine is not much better. Well below what I get with BRs on either side of it for USSR. There’s more to the story, that’s for sure.
Thanks for agreeing that it is not OP as people claim it is.
Never said it was OP because I don’t believe it is OP. I just don’t believe it is a bad vehicle like you said in the post before mine.
Of course. It’s not a bad vehicle. It’s just unlucky that 99% of playerbase and forum community can;t do good in it or have positive K/D…
Logic…
Ofc we are going to ignore the following advantages of the vikhir:
-More than 2.5 times the range
-nearly double the speed
-can be spammed in groups because it’s bean riding
-highly effective against helicopters and somewhat effective against planes
But other than that, yeah, it’s basically a tow. Just ignore everything but one cherry picked stat and they are the same.
Just like the F104 is basically a F15E because they can hit mach 2 at high altitude.
As for the better SPAA part, congratulations, after a year or so of Russia both having the best cas and SPAA, SU34 mains have to use their brain for once.
As for the DIRCM and DLIRCM claims: once again, maybe test shit before spouting nonsense.
Then again, you think that the Mig29 has a better flight model than the mirage 2000 and you keep proving again and again that you don’t even have a basic understanding of the games mechanics.
