It's not PEA, my bad
Hello again, my friends!
I haven't built anything cool at all until recently, but I've been building a little bit. and 2 weeks ago I came across this great post, which really
inspired me and made me realize that helicopters in this game are not so bad, so I started working, my first good job was a Mil Mi-24P here is my first normal helicopter and my ambitions didn't end there, I came across 1 more great post and made my very simple analog and I liked it. The fun started about 4 days ago: repeated flights of the Ka-52 over my head and its unusually rich, low-frequency sound that sounds like a tiger's growl and its impressive appearance combined with what I saw in this post got me working hard on it.
I have exams in the beginning of the summer and I'm going to military flight school, so I'm studying hard for my exams in addition to my SP work, but damn, I loved this building process, when I had never had anything much in 6 years of playing SP, when I was adjusting armament and appearance until 2am, I was getting pleasure out of the process despite being tired.
That was the preface, gentlemen. Let's move on to the technical part.
The technical part
Prototype information from reality.
Ka-52 “Alligator” (NATO codification - Hokum B) - Russian reconnaissance and attack helicopter of the new generation. The vehicle is capable of engaging armored and unarmored vehicles, manpower and aerial targets on the battlefield. Represents the further development of the Ka-50 “Black Shark” helicopter.
Prior to the termination of serial production of the Ka-50 in 2009 as the specifics of the combat application of the Ka-52 provided for its performance of the tasks of the commander's vehicle of the army aviation, carrying out reconnaissance, target designation and coordination of a group of attack helicopters. In addition to performing reconnaissance and combat functions, the Ka-52 can serve as a training vehicle.
The ship-based version of the Ka-52K can be equipped with a relatively more powerful than most attack helicopters of the Army Aviation, guided weapon system (GMS) Hermes-A with a maximum range of 15-20 km.
Under the contract between the Russian Ministry of Defense and PJSC Arsenyev Aviation Company Progress named after N.I. Sazykin from 2011, it is planned to produce 140 helicopters for a total amount of 120 billion rubles. The cost of one helicopter is about 857 million rubles.
The first flight prototype of the Ka-52 helicopter, which received flight number 061, was converted by early November 1996 from the serial Ka-50 (the 11th flight prototype, which previously bore flight number 021 and “exhibition” number H317). On June 25, 1997, the flight prototype made its first flight in hover mode, and on August 13, 1997, it made its first circular flight.
In 2008, two more prototype Ka-52 helicopters (flight numbers 062 and 063) were built at the Progress Aviation Plant, the first of which made its maiden flight on June 27, 2008. Flight tests of the second of them, the pre-production Ka-52 (flight number 063), were started in October 2008.
On October 29, 2008, the serial production of the Alligators was launched at the Progress plant - assembly of the first three serial helicopters of the installation batch began.
In May 2011, the Ka-52s entered service with the army aviation unit. On May 19, 2011, Major Andrey Volkov, deputy commander of the helicopter squadron, transported the first Ka-52 helicopter from the pilot batch from the Progress plant to the 575th Army Aviation Base (Chernigovka airfield).
On October 23, 2012, the state joint testing of the optical-location station was successfully completed.
Technical part in the SP
AG2-Armament activation
AG3-Release of pylons with ATGMs
AG4-Release of pylons with AAMs
AG8-Light
Unfortunately I haven't found a way to include an opto-electronic jamming station, a hazard warning system and auto-shooting of false thermal targets and build it accordingly, and there is no radar in the game. I haven't tried to equip the cockpit with instruments yet, but if you have a desire to take my construction to the next level, go for it!
Armament
200 false thermal targets and 200 dipoles.
4 Igla-V AAMs, I customized them and tried to make them look like War Thunder.
12 Ataka ATGMs, same thing.
Cannon 2A42, no auto-guidance because I didn't want to deal with input data from spherical coordinate system, it's higher math on the level of university of mathematical orientation. So the cannon is controlled by the camera in limited angles.
How do you use the ATGMs? You select the camera "target selected", which is under the nose fairing, which is automatically aimed at targets and launch the ATGM at the target without leaving this camera and keeping the target in the lock.
Keep in mind that when the helicopter is firing without a gyroscope and this can be uncomfortable.
What about takeoff, flight and landing?
It's quite simple, add more than 5% thrust and pull the VTOL slider to 1/2.
&
To land the helicopter, pitch up to 30 degrees and reduce the VTOL slider to almost 0 and when you have extinguished your horizontal speed, land the helicopter.
The helicopter is close to the real mass with full load and refueling, but the engines are a bit stronger than in reality, it flies fast. I did not put a rudder propeller and a little fiddled with funky trees and neural network Deep Seek, and made it possible to fly coaxial helicopter in SP stable. The cockpit lantern closes at TAS>10 km/h.

@SuperSuperTheSylph at your request
@Monarchii according to your expectations
Eine kamov
veey cool kamov
@Monarchii ok :)
very nice, I love it
I'll try it later, but good work!! :3
.
also, PEA helicopters must be below 96 parts, so it is disqualified by the amount of part count, sorry...
beautiful model :))
@SPsidearm maybe
Not really PEA....
