DCS: Black Shark - Vikhrs Air-to-air Engagements

[MrBoBoTom]

You should narrate it or add some text. I know how to take out ground units but still have issues air to air.

Yeah OK. But who wants to fly a Russian heli?

@Kimchoc the problem with this sim is this chopper isn't even approved for russian military, for one simple reason, it sucks, the design is dumb, only one pilot.. the load is too great for one pilot to do the flying and targeting and evading the dangers.. so they opted for a Mil-mi28 havoc chopper and Aligator Ka-52 TWO SEAT chopper while this thing, .. well, exists in the parallel world on computers.. me personally, would fly eurocopter or apache..

@BluestyleY Dude, I know this comment is 4 months old but I feel the need to follow up. The Ka-50 was adopted by the Russian army in 1995, first flight 1982. During that time it has destroyed multiple rebel camps in the Chechen Republic with rockets and Vikhr missiles. The Mi-28 on the other hand has yet to be combat tested, while the Ka-52 is still under production. Though unconventional, the Ka-50 has been proven as a highly versatile and reliable attack helicopter.

@jyork85 no problem if the reply is 4 months old)) but i meant ka-50 the one-seater was more of a experiment than the real deal, how many of this choppers did the USSR have, or Russia? about 10?.. how many hinds? in thousands?..you see what i mean.. the same is with the new orders, the military has opted for mil mi-28 havoc and have ordered about 400 of them, while this black shark thing about 20 .. for special ops. The problem is missiles, acquiring technology, all that is old generation..

These would probably be more helpful if they were narrated, so had an explanation of what the pilot was doing.
