[@Turboyota]

7:08 Maybe helicopters wouldn't be such a menace, if Gaijin could do something that prevents missiles from flying through trees (that also counts towards SAMs) and beam riding from continuing being effective, when both target and missile are concealed by trees.

[@liladoodle]

If we ever do get more Russian helicopters in War Thunder, one I really want to see is the Ka-27. As it does have the same 30mm 2A42 as the Mi-28 as a main gun, a 7.62mm GShG rotary MG, and hardpoint for bombs, rockets, gunpods, and even the 9K114 Shturm anti-tank missile.

[@idfkwhattowrite4838]

But the Ka-29 is already in the game...

[@Iron_Blood_Enjoyer1933]

Yeah, you're talking about the Ka-29. The Ka-27 is the ASW variant, it only gets one torpedo or sonobuoys.

[@R4FSAN]

We already got Ka29 so I doubt gaijin will add it. But I think the only heli USSR can get right now is Ka52M. Dunno tho

interesting issue I've been having recently is tanks straight up not rendering until they shoot me and their practically on top of me litterally having the tank appear out of thin air... when I'd just checked the corner it was clear round the corner to be shot by a tank. that was right behind a corner i'd just checked.

the fuel starvation on the ka52 is the most ass feature of the helicopter.

[@MarineCorpzor1]

For the KA-50 and 52, you need to use the Coll for aiding in turning left and right, lowering the Coll rotates you left faster, and raising the Coll rotates you right faster. That helps a lot with piloting the twin rotar helis.

[@mhjdniva2442]

"I am an orange tank in an urban environment!" that's why they can't see you, they'd never expect an orange to be a combat vehicle.

[@DmitriyKrivtsov]

You can also take 25sm3 and 27sm in this lineup - after the recent BR decompression the true balance has been achieved, you dont have to wait for 5min for every battle Both can CAS pretty well Btw, dont reduce the coll below 10% and dont increase it above 90% - that way the RPM does not drop and the heli can maneuver pretty well

[@thomaslabuzik7024]

Changing the controls helps a lot with flying helicopters in War Thunder. It's called manual roll control. It won't level automatically but it is a lot easier to fly them around. You can also do some J hooks and all sorts of manoeuvres. GGs btw.

Keep some airspeed over the rotors as you slide left or right, you can dive away into the direction you're sliding with better collective response into clean/undisturbed air. In a hover if you slip below your downwash rapidly, its harder\takes longer to recover altitude in dirty air than in clean/undisturbed air. Phenomena is called Settling With Power. The 52 can definitely ruin some online experiences!

[@cuhyotepowered1201]

The Ka52 goes down if you stand still and reduce engine power really fast. To avoid this, you just have to fly to any direction.

[@KillerSniper55]

Easiest way to avoid falling out of the sky is to not drop it to 0 ever.

Although Ka-52 is not as user friendly as Mi-28 I find it more fun to play for some reason. To make it more playable, keep the collective above 30% and it doesn't behave as bad.

To be honest I don't think the T80BVM is that good. It's certainly a good tank, but not comparable to the Leo2A7 or the Str122. But the KA52 is arguably the best helicopter in game.

[@interpl6089]

Agree on the BVM statement but Disagree on the Ka-52. Spike slinging hellicopters are the new meta...just hover over the helipad and spam Spikes at everyone...no need to guide them whatsoever.

[@reinyfrost3753]

@@interpl6089 Problem is that they are rarely reliable. Sometimes missing due to foliage, and when they do hit, it may all hit the same bad spot over and over again. They go for centre mass (or at least they try to). On certain maps, where it is quite open, I'd say it is generally better. But most maps, the KA-52 is far superior.

[@stixktv__9999]

WHATEVER, at top tiers every MBT have the same mobility and firepower( and they all have the ability to one shot each others), only the armor change depending on the mbt so if you're a skillful payer you will see and shoot first. At top tiers skills matter more than the tank. And one more think, i think you're missing what makes russian tanks so annoying : their little size, strv's are so big even though it has the best armor every weak spots become big.

before the Armata they could bring Object 640 (which could get more than one variant since there are sources talking about upgrade to 135mm or 152mm gun and 30mm secondary gun maybe even as remote turret like the 20mm on the Leo2K) or T90/80 with the Burlak turret, i don't know their reload but they would hve better ammo and at least some rounds are in a seperate autoloader with bow out panels. Maybe Object 195 will come before Armata too, but i think that thing would be stronger than the Armat, even the Armata with a 152mm gun (both have strong hull armor+unmanned turret and about the same p2wr, but Object 195 gets a coaxial 30mm gun) so probably no.
