huh they dont deploy landing gear for emergency landings, interesting
That’s the L-370-1’s electronic module.

That looks more akin to a “pre-flight/servicing” equipment. So I’d say probably not, give me a schematic and I could tell you. It’s a LWS I think.
Edit: BTW, that model of Ka-50 shown isn’t in game, we have the earliest models, not the newer II and III Productions.

Weird, I didn’t know the F-86 and F-15 were Russian…

this also kind of verifies that

What mi-8 variant is that? Ive never seen one with 3 turrets before

Turrets? You mean the electro-optical cam system.
I’d say it’s a new variant or just an add on to older models for modernization without a new production run.
So, all in all, those systems are in no way vital to aircraft flight. Only IRST jammers and optics.
Edit:
Also shows a few weapons we don’t have in game on this heli…
time to make it more OP!!!
Gaijin, add the KH-25 to the KA-50! It’s an anti-radiation missile, even better!
In color!

Gimme Hermes, it’s only 2 decades old and has terminal lofting
Is the Air-to-Air looking missile the Igla? I thought the Igla was encased in a sleeve like the FIM-92.
SPEAKING OF A-T-A missiles, why don’t we remove Heli PvE and have a “mixed” battle of Air SIM/EC with helicopters and airplanes? Could have interesting implementation.
The “realistic heli models” will come this summer update but i’ll take a wild guess and say thet i will maybe not affect the ka 50 that much but every other thing will be… worse
I honestly have no clue, as it doesn’t really look familiar to the Igla. I’ll get back to you with that.
We used to have a heli PvP but people were whining about that.
There’s a lot of arguing going on in here for topics that are neither new nor especially complex:
-
All heli damage models / damaged flight models are a bit questionable. Which is why fixing them is already on the roadmap.
-
No aircraft in the game model avionics and similar systems. I’m all for adding further detail/complexity to damage models and those systems having gameplay effects (looking at you, tank optics), but this would be a new addition; lack of these is not, strictly speaking, a “fault/error” as the game currently exists.

GIVE ME A DYNAMIC DAMAGE SYTEM!!!
Always sad to hear that, but I feel like heli PvP (unless it was simulator style) would be rather weird and awkward.
Looked it up, the Igla III is in a Launch Tube/sleeve. So I guess it could mount a Aphid/R-60?

there have been pics of Ka-50s with R-73s, and there are options in the cockpit denoting the use of R-73s.
It was on an EC map with arcade physics

No. PVE > Ka-50 dominance.
Nope, definitely not. Just because it is a good helicopter, doesn’t mean it is good all around, it takes a good pilot, and making it so cockpit view is the only option, as it already is in Sim/EC, and requires full real controls. It is equal, if not worse (in real life) than the Apache and Tiger. In game it can’t fully be modeled because of how complex it is, but it is still a beauty of engineering.
Idk, the R-73 seems a bit too big for the one in the photo, definitely the same length though.
Here is a chart, it might be, it’s the only one with a “two set” front canard. I guess it is, the KH-25 right next to it just dwarfs it, it’s probably not to full scale.
See the Ka-50-2
Black shark “III”
Definitely an R-73.

Against other helicopter Ka-50s are superior.
