They finally added a helicopter that can really put up a fight like a Ka52, but they have the nerve to make it premium???!! It just seems like a bad joke. The new Comanche should be a regular tech tree heli not a premium, I refuse to spend 60€ (the price of a full video game) for simple pixels just to have something of quality like Russia has, we all deserve to have a good attack helicopter for free.

Maybe a top BR variant with AGM-114L in the future…
This Premium has mere 114Bs, it would help us in no way on the regular tree.

It’s gajin, most premiums or event/gift vehicles are different from the tech tree stuff in performance one way or another.

Other than maybe the UH-60, it’s worse than all the current top U.S tech tree Helicopters.

You don’t even know how much annoying is fighting a Tiger HAD Block 2 compared to the Ka-52.

I hope so, I’ve noticed that they’re adding more and more premiums all the time, if this continues maybe gaijin wants another community revolution.

I’ve seen 2 ka52s completely change the course of the game with their tandem atgm, literally a game in which we were winning by a landslide and the moment the ka52s came out they started to eliminate all my entire team,In the end, we ended up losing because of it. You know what the best part is? Our anti-aircraft guns didn’t have the range to open fire on them, and those that tried were in vain because they dodged their projectiles,In addition, there was an ally who tried to intercept them with a grippen, but a pantsir eliminated him before he could even get close to the ground to avoid radars. But I have not yet seen any American Apache do that, mainly because 90% of the time a single shot disables them or leaves them seriously injured. I am aware of the capabilities of the Ka52 but I say that But I say that if they finally introduce a helicopter capable of assimilating to the one that seems ridiculous to me, they put it as premium, it is the first time I see an American helicopter resist surface-to-air missiles But in order to have what the Russians have for free, I have to pay???!

Just like the Ka50 and Ka52, I expect an improved version of the Comanche for free.
Frankly I’m surprised they added the FCR and gave it 114Bs, seems like such a useless piece of equipment if it does not even have Ks, I am aware that all the laser hellfires have the same guidance values so it does not matter regardless but that is besides the point.
Heck, we already have really REALLY powerful SAMs coming now, why not give us 114Ls on everything that can carry them, its not like they can outrange any of the top tier SAMs anymore either now.
IMO just make the premium FCRless but with Ks and the tech tree one get 114Ls and the FCR, it can even be foldered with the AH-64D if needed.
That’s a isolated case, yesterday my team was dominating using close air support. At least four planes in the air, we ended up losing despite the situation.
And I don’t get it “for free”, like researching at minimum five helicopters to get the Ka-52 and on top of that going the stock time, the RAH-66 Comanche as a premium is a huge benefit.

Let’s remember that while all nations have current tanks, such as Germany’s Leopard 2A7 (2017) or russia with the t72bvm3 (2017) and the t90m (2019), The US continues with the Abrams SEP v2 (2012) when they could perfectly well add the sep v3 which is from 2017,On top of that, the vehicle they’re going to include in the event is only an amphibious M18 when they could have included something more interesting like the Sherman Crocodile.
Boy, do I have good news for you: You only have to spend 50€! And if you wait a little, it is yours for 25€!
Problem solved.
Tbh the RAH-66 does not really bring anything to the table the AH-64A premium does not bar the funni stealth, both equip the same exact weapons and have nearly identical sensor systems bar the FCR which does not really do anything for 114Bs.
This of course, does currently come at the cost of countermeasure systems, but that should change hopefully which would put it at the same BR as the premium apaches.
Given that situation, the KA-50 premium vs 52 or comanche vs AH-64D is a rather apt comparison overall.
I will still say the 50 and 52 have vastly superior ord due to the vikhir still being insane though.
Free. As I said, you can get the KA52 for free, and if you don’t want to waste your time, you can always buy the KA50. They give you the option to decide. In my case, it’s either you pay or you pay. There’s no other option.Also, I’m one of those people who doesn’t spend any money on games, making something of quality exclusive by paying is excessive, I understand that there are things like Tiger Ost,however, Comanche does not have a free version.
Ka-50 is limited because of the optics zoom multipliers, everything else is fine, but my problem with the Ka-52 and any other SACLos and Beam-riding missiles platforms is how the missile itself behaves.
That’s why I said the Tiger HAD Block 2 is worse to fight against as it uses IR missile. I understand that IR ATGM don’t behave perfectly but due to the amount it can carry can counter by overwhelming a target.

Thanks a lot, but are we crazy? How can we normalize spending €25 for a pixel helicopter? Or €70 for a tank? €70 is what a AAA game costs.

People asked for the free, aka. tech tree BMD-4M and we still here today. RAH-66 Comanche is unlikely to have a counterpart on the tech tree. Being premium doesn’t mean quality, the F-4EJ ADTW is a good example of this, and knowing some issues pointed by the community the stealth mechanic in the RAH-66 Comanche apparently doesn’t work properly.

Likewise, the Tiger is a German helicopter, but have you ever seen an American Apache change direction in battle? The most I’ve seen is two or three kills,They then end up being eradicated by a pantsir or flakrad
Never seen an AH-64 changing the fate of an battle bevause is widely known how bad SACLos and Beam-riding ATGMs is today. The Tiger HAD Block 2 is the French model of the Eurocopter.

Indeed, still the versatility of the Vikhir is what is powerful about it, that and the direct flight path.
A 114 will seldom ever achieve the feats a well deployed Vikhir will.
If we had to pit a RAH-66 against a KA-50 right now, even if the RAH-66 got it’s countermeasures, I would put money on the KA-50 winning nearly every time. Now, if the RAH-66 had 114Ls this is a totally different situation and at that point, I see no issue for the KA-52 to acquire LMURs as well. A 114L vs LMUR fight to me is far more balanced than SALH 114 vs Vikhir though.
