The Russian Juggernaut | Ka-50 Black Shark 3 Preview | First Look | Digital Combat Simulator | DCS |

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

Check out the Store: growling-sidewinder.creator-spring.com/ Big thank you to ED for allowing me to have a preview of this great attack helicopter. I plan to do much more content with it in the future. Thank you guys for watching and I'll see you in the next one. Much Love.

[@CaptainBiggles.]

You should do an Apache vs Black Shark dogfight

[@azref3562]

Most important question is. How does it compare to the Gazelle in a guns only scenario?

[@CasmoTV]

No you shouldn’t.

[@llamalamb6741]

Huey vs black shark immediately lol

[@kirsankaifat3702]

Ка-50 is amazing) Somehow so elegant and brutal at the same moment

[@wanderer5200]

External detail is spectacular. Especially the rotors. Never seen anything like it.

[@justinhuey7253]

The slow motion is jaw dropping

[@hkguitar1984]

Amazing, lots of hours invested making it so accurate.

[@medwaystudios]

Rotors made me do a double take first time I took it for a flight. Looked so real it was uncanny.

[@shodancat1000]

first off, that intro is literally the coolest DCS video i've ever seen. second, the black shark 3's 3D model is the best 3D modeling i've ever seen in a combat sim. 😲😲

[@Firefly1-1]

Don’t know how many others I speak for, but as a relative newbie who only has jet exp. I find the ka50 a very uniquely appealing chopper to try due to its single seat capabilities… great option to spice up content too!

[@miker3866]

I'm falling in love with this Helicopter all over again.

[@therealsilens]

Ka-50 was my first full fidelity model many, many moons ago. Systems can require a fair bit of learning (AP anyone?) but once learned properly, the Black Shark is a joy to fly and is very capable, too. Love the Shark content!

[@sumbat1538]

How long did it take you to become efficient in it?

[@slayerofmidgets3201]

KA-50 is a terrifying helicopter thing looks so mean its insane

[@clarasdk]

Would love more KA-50 stuff, I have the module but have never learned it. Always end up in the Apache instead. But maybe now is the time to learn:)

[@SkyMaXX5]

I would certainly like the Ka-52 or Mi-28N module.

[@jimothyjones9881]

For the Vikhrs, you don’t need to align the two circles in the hud if you put the switch in front of the cyclic from Auto to Man.

[@ArchOfficial]

I suggest doing this, you can fire off the Vikhrs from a very large envelope in MAN mode. No reason to use AUTO.

[@manshoon2198]

I must say GS that your Videos are by far the most informative and entertaining I have watched in DCS content. The Donkey video I was watching yesterday was hilariously funny watching you take down everything. Your skill in everything DCS is impressive to say the least, PvP included.

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

you're far too kind, thank you. I appreciate you.

[@Duvstep910]

Love the ka-50; nothing else in the world like it

[@janee7995]

Yes there is ka52 😉

[@CakePrincessCelestia]

@@janee7995 It's almost the same, just in ugly :P

[@randoms7397]

It’s a double seater

[@kamov52510]

@@CakePrincessCelestia ka52 is beautiful

[@endlesswick]

Ka-50 was my first module. Flew it a lot back in the day. The coaxial rotors make it much more stable and easier to fly than the other DCS helicopters.

[@FurinaPininfarina]

That extraordinarily eye-catching well animated rotors alone is enough to convince me to swipes my credit card for this module.

[@christophersparkman]

Would love to see more KA50 content!

[@garethhughes5745]

That opening should have been the release trailer. Amazing footage!

[@Leaddinosaur]

Yes. More Ka-50 missions please!

[@swordmonkey6635]

Ka-50: **Fires AA missile at Apache.** Apache: "that's adorable"

[@sahhull]

Vikhr vs Apache on the other hand.... It eats one and dies.

[@roadsweeper1]

KA-50 was my first DCS module, many moons ago, before the A-10 appeared. loved flying that. Currently updating my OpenBeta installation so I can get access to the BS3 module, and digging out my BS2 manuals lol, see if I can remember how to even start it :P

[@seebarry4068]

Looking forward to more of this. I would like a reason to dip on a third time for a ten. Learned two new things straight off.

[@Kaiju3301]

I love how instead of aa-2 or other air to air heatseekers, the Russians just strapped a few manpads to the thing.

[@tasigin3815]

Kinda like how america strapped the aim-120 to a truck

[@matiasr1373]

Why not tho

[@darkseid1358]

US army strapped stinger to Apache so...

[@averagegamer1684]

100% want more ka-50 content

[@lordhickory3322]

DAMN, he be making gameplay trailers now? That was epic, I loved it!

[@CueDriver]

Just bought. Was tired of the videos and not in the store. I went to store couldn't find it. It refreshed the page and it was there. $10 can't beat that.

[@greenmagic8ball198]

Looks like a powerful asset. Looking forward to future videos featuring it.

[@Prophet-of-the-Unknown-Lord]

I'm totally in for more Ka-50 videos! One of my favorite helicopters, and having the module already I'm looking forward to the upgrade!

[@BG-Skech]

Nice video! Definitivley want to see more KA videos , but to be honest a nice mountain , low fly , sneaky missions will be awesome! Nobody show how this beast performs in dificult terrain.

[@RafaPolit]

Thanks for this. Please, by all means, include more like this, perhaps even with more in-depth small how-tos while you are setting up the helo! Thanks again.

[@jik294]

I've flown the KA-50 a little and I really enjoy it. Recently I've been CPG in the Apache for a buddy, but, I've really been wanting to get back to the KA-50. Would be great to see some more videos with it.

[@nilanjangupta763]

There should be a Mi-28 as well in DCS.

[@dystopianlucidity4448]

GS, of course we want to see more of this beast!

[@kennyj4366]

So far I've enjoyed all the content you've released. 👍

[@lisagarcia3311]

Yep please create some more KA50 videos! Great stuff

[@michaelknightmustdie]

Well that's just gorgeous. And always happy to see air-to-ground content (especially when you clearly enjoy it)!

[@CakePrincessCelestia]

3:34 Nice! 12:59 Finally, you reached minimum speed :)

[@malcadorthesigillite2541]

9:50 it would be awesome to see how close you get to the deck in 3rd person. Jets too. Great stuff.

[@acdcdave1387]

Looks awesome. I've still never tried a chopper but I've always figured if I did it would be the Black Shark

[@MrScar88]

Oh boy... Thanks for the vid GS. Seems its time to get into Black Sharks cockpit again. And answering your question, yes please. More Ka-50 content. Thank you in advance.

[@ianpopp87]

would love to see more ka-50. Your channel has great variety and this, the a2a, bvr, ground pound stuff is great.

[@kamicosmos]

Like others, the KA-50 was my first DCS module. So, yeah 10 bucks to have a whole new model, all the internal detail, and some new weapon and defensive capability? Heck ya, instant buy! I have been re-mapping the HOTAS, watching vids, reading documentation, and ... yeah, crashing it a whole lot today! I've always been fascinated with it, the counter-rotating rotars, a friggin ejection seat in a chopper! And, the whole thing is just a beast. You know that it was built to go murder stuff, nothing else!

[@CarlWicker]

great video, love the combination of "live" and extenal replay, works really well.

[@fidem15893]

The details are impressive.Great work of the creators.

[@maximilianpitscheider5034]

[@giuliopisanu1032]

I would love other ka-50 videos

[@urgentsiesta7606]

Definitely more please! Also would like to see A2A with Mi-24 :)

[@gunnarbodowiemann7677]

Your first pronunciation of "Gepard" was very accurate. Sounded like we Germans say it. But we are very unhappy with Russian choppers shooting on our pussycat tanks. Our diplomatic channels will get in contact with yours 😎.

[@mikerowave1986]

More KA-50 videos please! This is one of the most exciting and also most difficult modules for me. I bought it one month ago and at first it seemed impossible to fly it. Now I got familiar with the controls and autopilot modes and weapon systems, I had to switch my brain into a different working mode to fly this helo, but it turned out this bird is unbelievably easy to fly and operate effectively, I love it

[@russm3831]

Thank you, great Video. Love the KA-50. Many more videos please.

[@JibaroRob]

I want MORE Ka-50 videos.

[@roceye]

So clean and well maintained in the video- reality is much different. lol

[@mgplaying8435]

Man! The Ka-50 was my first module in DCS. Still got the CD in my rack... Can´t wait to fly it - hopefully the old missions/campaigns (btw the absolut best/designed with love in DCS) will support the BS3? Any info regarding this? Also: Try and use the override for the Vikhrs. You don´t have to be that precise with them then and it works the same!

[@Geometrys]

Dude you got a DCS DLC CD? That’s dope

[@mgplaying8435]

@@Geometrys No, I got the original BS1 on DVD - thats how old I am

[@CakePrincessCelestia]

@@mgplaying8435 Same... and a fricken printed manual!

[@bennyb.1742]

The Igla seems bugged. Even at just 1200 grams of explosive, you'd think it would do more damage than basically a single cannon round.

[@NuclearFalcon146]

It is the same Igla that the Igla-dudes on the ground fire. I have seen aircraft eat multiple hits from those and keep going before so this is nothing new. The Mi-24 Hind/Krokodil with the R-60Ms is still the better option for air-to-air.

[@pale_2111]

Just keep an eye out for those stinger MANPAD's.

[@matsadona]

The Black shark is actually waht got me in to DCS . What a journey it has been since then :)

[@benaguilar1787]

9.99 for the upgrade is a spectacular deal. I love the details, but by God they better ship this with good LODs.

[@billpii6314]

Yes DCS upgrade pricing is super friendly

[@Ferocious_Imbecile]

Yeah I'm a sucker for anything Ka-50 Black Shark 3 right now. Bring it on.

[@RaderizDorret]

Funny thing about having those Iglas: the AH-1 could carry AIM-9 Sidewinders. Imagine having an Apache armed with AIM-9Xs

[@CosmiicCandii]

If @GrowlingSidewinder has watched the 90s classic movie "Firebirds" he'd remember that the optimal kill angle for a helicopter engagement is "... above and behind from the 6 o'clock." (No shade intended. Mild teasing only.)
