The most unique feature of the Ka-50 is one that is share by almost all Kamov helicopters, and that of course is the coaxial rotor system. I often forgot to bring the gear up after takeoff! This is the only retractable gear helicopter in DCS, and one of the few RG helicopters I’ve got for any sim. The complex workings of the landing gear are also modeled and animated very nicely.
The exterior model features nicely done details like hydraulic tubing, vents, and antennas. Even though it was released many years ago, it still holds its own against the more recently released models in terms of visual complexity. Based on that, this is a VERY detailed model! This clearly set the standard for all of the DCS helicopters that came after it. I pretty much had to rely on unclassified online resources. So confirming the accuracy of the exterior and interior models is difficult. The Ka-50 is the only helicopter model that I have reviewed for HeliSimmer that I haven’t seen up close in person. But, I will be using my experience as a 64 guy to make some educated guesses in determining the realism of DCS Ka-50 model.
It’s important to know upfront that when it comes to Attack helicopters, I’m very biased, however, I’m not going to be comparing this model with the AH-64 directly. Being an Attack helicopter pilot by trade, I thought I’d take their only model of a purpose built weapons platform and see how they did. So you may read things you disagree with, but I hope it may give you a new perspective.ĭCS has a really good reputation for their realism. Because of this models age, a lot of you out there who may be reading this are already very familiar with this DCS module, and most assuredly know more about it than I do. But, thanks to the UH-1H, and the SA342 my curiosity about the Ka-50 grew. At first, I had very little interest in it, because I didn’t really have a place in my sim routine for dedicated scout/attack helicopter. The Ka-50 is one of the original DCS modules and has been around a long time. So a few weeks ago I became curious about the KA-50. I’ve gotten to know Mil helicopters like the Mi-17 and Mi-24/35 through working with allied countries that operate the type.
and other NATO member military pilots make it a point to get to know Russian made aircraft and their capabilities, as Russia has sold many of their aircraft to countries that are unfriendly to the West. Thanks for checking out my channel.My interest in Russian helicopters has always been a professional one. Hi! My name is Samuel, what's up? I am 24 years old and live in Canada (I am Dutch though!). So a lot of people made this event happen but I'd like to specifically thank LeClair for setting most of this up! An epic mission involving a lot of different ArmA groups doing their own objectives all based on Black Hawk Down!
