You are using the wrong laser designator (the switch under your "compass" needs to be off), the one you are using has a timer and it is used for KH big missiles not for the ones you are holding. Also, when you are hovering, use auto rotate button so the heli will always look directly at what your shkval is targeting (no need for rudders to fight the auto hover pilot)
Longshot, thank you so much for coming up with a ka50 latest video. It’s so hard to find a good latest ka50 video these days. Ka50 is the best helo in dcs, keep em coming buddy.
Before your first missile is hitting his target you can send your next missile away when you select a target that is real close to the first one you shooted at.
I'd like to re-visit the KA-50 and become competent with it. In the past I've found the onion layers or automation confusing and frustrating. I generally gravitate to my Hind when I need to lay hate down from a rotary platform.
I'm dying to see the BO105 come in to DCS, its on its way, THAT will be an exciting helicopter, finally bring what the Gazelle should have but not quite managed imo, I love the Gazelle but for what ever reason they cant get it behaving, they say they cant get the data they need... I dunno... I've lost hope on that one. A helicopter is supposed to be very dynamic and quick, and the KA50 is none of that, its just a floating missile launching platform with the mobility of a big SAM system you mentioned, S300 or S400 :P
Roll rate vs Pitch ratio is wack... it s always been even before the new FM... and I cant stand it. It make no sense to me. Its the exact same blades, forces, inputs controlling the helicopter in both directions for the most part yet the roll rate is like I'm flying the A4E or a Extra 330 Aerobatics plane, I'd be fine with it if it was some what equal in pitch and roll but its a massive difference, thats my main issue and perhaps my only issue. I can fly it but it bothers me a lot. Its also telling that the same bunch who hated the Gazelle for all these years now love it and the main problem with it has not even been fixed. Same people jump in the HUey and fly it at Mach Jeesus 145 kts (VNE 110) and think the Black Hawk mod flies excellent... and probably was maining the KA50 at some point...
KA50 is cool, it looks cool and I own the module but I struggle to enjoy it because its not very responsive, look at you trying to avoid incoming and it takes the helicopter 3 days to get out of the way, in any other helicopter you'd been long gone down behind the tree's even in the Hind or Chinook, or Mi8, the KA50 takes its sweet time and often gets you killed. And being coaxial it feels very floaty, it drifts about, the Chinook has a similar thing but in the Chinook the systems clean things up and its responsive and sporty, this thing you have to throw around really hard for it to do anything risk crashing just doing otherwise fairly normal maneuvering in any other helicopter and this from someone who loves the Mi8 to bits. ED has done a very good job with it, its a good module, but this helicopter seem to mostly attract people that never was super in to helicopters in the first place, they like it because its mean looking and a decent gun plat form even if it has some major short comings. I do see the appeal but yeah... its a very flawed helicopter.
One needs to get the auto hover controls down, its probably the easiest heli to hover behind cover and via peaking in and out able to take down any enemy anti air and ground units fairly safely. Doing that you dont need the agility other choppers have.
@@LongShotChannel Do you know if there's a way to translate to English what's written on the screen, though? The cockpit itself is in English but not the system in the screen to the right.
@@paulordbm Options -> Gameplay -> Avionics Language - switch that from native to english. That should give You the english display. But the HUD still has the cyrillic names.

Thank you, I'm using the rudder just to point the nose for a shot, after that letting go
These "chess game" type videos are the ones I like to see.
Your videos are sincerely appreciated! Almost like we're there with you!
Thank you so much
If you combine the names of best Russian fighter jets (Sukhoi, Su) and attack helicopters (Kamov, Ka), you'll get SuKa.
Indeed you do.
20:30 Absolutely glued in position!
Love seeing content from the server, keep it up!
That was a great ending: "Defeated." BANG! 😂
Im with you on the Super Cobra! That thing just looks like it was meant to go down range and cause hell!!! 🔥😎🔥

Fun vid, fun server. Ka50 was my 2nd aircraft in dcs. I gotta get back into flying it a bit. Been all about the Apache since it came along.
First module I bought is still my fave.
I really appreciate your server. I have a lot of fun in it for sure. Thank you.
That's great to hear, thank you
@ Is there a place to contribute to the maintenance or upkeep of the server?
@bustanutist patreon. Thank you
In 24:40, you need to have the small green circle inside the big green circle, or it won't fire. (the big green circle is the seeker of the Vikhr).
or you can set firing mode to manual and you don't have to be precise
@@MADDOG-sq9oj I didn't know that. Thanks!

What are you on about. The gazelle has been fantastic since they updated the flight model.

A flying tank? Give me a stinger!!!!
Great video. This helicopter looks like fun. Do you use a helicopter HOTAS with cyclic and collective or do the fixed wing HOTAS work?
Fixed wing

Do love the server my man only been on 3 times killed by players twice died loads tho cos I’m crap 😂
whats the server name brotha? i need a new home server
Search for LongShot in the search bar
@LongShotChannel Rodger that boss
I think your laser is burnt. That’s why there is no range and volume vikhrs are falling short.
Do you have a discord to announce when you are on? I would love to provide you cover in a f16 tonight
We have dn event every weekend
@LongShotChannel sweet thanks. Joined the discord too
Good video and Piloting! Your good in a chopper!!!
You're
@@nigelsmith7366 Excuse me!!! You're correct!!!
I'm currently learning the KA50. It's I wish there was an English version. It's so hard to learn when you can't read the label of the switch.
There’s an English cockpit available
@vermin1970 where do I find that?
Go to settings
Go to the special tab
Scroll to your KA50 on the left and click
Change cockpit to english

I'm surprised you're not using or mentioned the English cockpit that is available in the Ka-50
My favorite helicopter!
great flying
I know what is wrong, LS. The system is low on Vodka. ;D
Flaming Cliffs KA52 would be amazing 💯
Интересно, в третий раз тоже обосрётся...
What happened two growling Sidewinder he hasn't put out any more videos
prob just taking a Christmas break
Ka-50/52>AH-64
Except it was an Apache radar hellfire that killed him in the end. 😅
I know what’s wrong with the targeting system.
It’s hot Russian garbage! Lol
Operator error
@@JesusFriedChrist nope. Hot Russian garbage.
