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. My interest in Russian helicopters has always been a professional one.
