oh thats what you mean
seemed like you were talking about the Mi-28
my guess is that they arent producing that many of them yet, see this Ka-52 for example, they mounted 2 launch rails but no missile in them
Yes, but again - seemingly a max of two rails.
Seriously, just try and find ANY image of any gunship carrying more than two of these things. I’ll happily eat my words if so.
The only image I can find of four rails is the heavily modified Mi8NP. However this physically bigger and more capable in terms of load-hauling.
weight shouldnt really be the issue
from whats known a Lmur weighs around 100kg
so that shouldnt be an issue for both the Mi-28 or Ka-52
also that Mi-8 looks like it is growing radar shaped tumors
Weight is always an issue, particularly for helicopters - particularly if they appear to always be using additional heavy fuel tanks (not drop tanks - big external tanks, almost like ferry tanks on a fixed wing aircraft). Maybe the avionics for the missiles adds a further weight penalty we don’t know about.
but even then, for the Mi-28, lets say the dual rack weighs 200kg + another 200kg for the missiles
that would be ~400kg on a single pylon
meanwhile it can carry 4x 500kg bombs, so there is some headroom for the weight of the avionics

So Tiger UHT remains a maximum of 4 as well by your own argument.
What crews do IRL is not restrictions of the aircraft itself.
Realism > artificial crew restrictions.

What crews choose is not realism.
Role playing and realism are two different things.
Well, since the next patch will most likely add the Ka-52M, the current situation with the Mi-28NM is nothing special.
find me 1 pic of f15 with all 8x live amraam. not mockup/inert amraam.
Well the rest of us need to adhere to the rules set by Gaijin.
I would love 15 120s on Typhoon…but that wouldn’t be realistic.
Either we all play by the same rules or no one does.
I don’t understand why you think Russia should get special dispensation?

Said Typhoon is not in the game yet.
And that Typhoon will be realistic.
War Thunder already applies the same rules to everyone.
Russia’s not a tech tree, and the Soviet tech tree is treated equally to all tech trees. This is well known to everyone.
Oh you changing the rules now with “live” ordinanace ha ha
Well here’s an F-15 at RIAT count those missiles

Yet Su-27SM and Su-30 get Su-35 additional pylons.
By your logic the F-15E would have the additional pylons?
Your point?
Show me a Su-27 with 12 missiles…see it’s silly
blue stripes = inert/mock up amraam
this is a real aim120

Again your point, why do you expect an airshow jet to fly with live missiles?
The weight is the same
