+lindr2 19 Posted February 8, 2009 (edited) Dublicate post.. not good, ok let's Mi-28N full story http://pilot.strizhi.info/photos/v/helicopters/ And Ka-52 again Edited February 9, 2009 by lindr2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JediMaster 451 Posted February 9, 2009 For some reason, the 28N always gives me the impression that it's being forced to carry more than it should, like it's overloaded. Probably because of the triangular cross-section of the fuselage. Are both of those Ka-52s? That totally different nose would've made me guess it was another model. Also, I've noticed the domes by the main gear under the older 52 design that the sharp-nosed one doesn't have. Are those associated with the MWS or something? The DCS sim doesn't have them under the helo, but the pictures in its manual show them there (but blurred out). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shaolin 0 Posted February 9, 2009 Fantastic pics! The Ka-52 looks great (I love it), the Mi-28 just mean (it's giving me the creeps - looks really dangerous)! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SayethWhaaaa 245 Posted February 9, 2009 So those Ka-52s are entering service? I was getting the impression it wasn't. It's a mean looking helicopter, I always thought it a shame that it was facing the possibility of being cancelled. Very nice shots Lindr2! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
