KA50 in VR is super-rewarding. You rarely go over 100m and with the added depth and altitude perception of VR, going NOE is natural and extremely fun. I noticed you're not using much the Designate Target push and hold in conjunction with the head mounted display to go close quarters with your cannon. That's something really great to use in VR as you can point and follow with your head the target (Blue Thunder style XD) and gun targets without worying of heading or target centering... if you see it you gun it! In 14:00 you slide-strafe a truck getting too much lateral and forward speed... using your eye-to-gun you could destroy it without having to go so hard on the stick.

@fireblaze79943 жыл бұрын
It is lots of fun to fly, but you must be prepared to practice and study it. This is a study level simulation. Remember this helicopter is designed to fly with approximately 20% of the flight authority handed to the computer systems. If used properly, it can cause a lot of lot of damage on a mission, which is also more than most fixed wings in game can cause. Watch my tips video on how I fly: "kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmLFnqKBiMirfpY&ab_channel=FireBlaze". I hope you give it another try, it really does not take much to learn how to override the computer and throw the heli about, then you will get the most from it.

Totally valid question :) I put fear aside and replaced it with stupidity, because I will not feel the pain of a bullet to the face, at worst I may be startled and spill some precious coffee :( My goal initially was to eliminate all the enemies with my cannon. Granted we all strive for a realistic experience, but it's more fun to fly like a loud clumsy ninja than a long range archer. Ninja doesn't always work, but I am compelled to try. I had a flight with a wingy a couple of nights ago, and we were picking off datalink targets just outside 9km, DCS VIKHRs self destruct at approx 10km. My wingy is a noob, yet we made it back to base without a scratch. We never saw any enemy bullets, never saw any missiles, didn't need to any pop flares... it was too easy. For Ka50 veterans, I am sure this was frustrating to watch, but I would encourage you to try it. Imagine a scenario where VIKHR were not restocked, but you still have a duty to protect your comrades. The enemy will not stand still for you like DCS enemies do. Personally I am using VIKHRs less and less for my own amusement.

@@fireblaze7994 So ninja style it is. Yeah, why not. I fly the Ka-50 quite often on Alpenwolf's Cold War server. There you are dealing with enemy fighters and maybe helicopters that might intercept you. But the best thing there is that there are tactical commanders driving tanks around and make it tougher for Ka-50 pilots. Yesterday it took me about 20 minutes to finally find a Merkava tank shooting AP shells at me. And I know the player who was driving it. Very good player! He was between trees, buildings, you name it. But after I got the kill it felt better than anything. The higher the challenge is the more delicious victory becomes. Also, Alpenwolf does GCI for Red very often. And he drives the tanks too. Very intense tank battles between him and some Blue players. The intensity on comms is madness. You gotta try it out.
