Check out the Store: growling-sidewinder.creator-spring.com/ Big thank you to ED for allowing me to have a preview of this great attack helicopter. I plan to do much more content with it in the future. Thank you guys for watching and I'll see you in the next one. Much Love.
first off, that intro is literally the coolest DCS video i've ever seen. second, the black shark 3's 3D model is the best 3D modeling i've ever seen in a combat sim. 😲😲
Ka-50 was my first full fidelity model many, many moons ago. Systems can require a fair bit of learning (AP anyone?) but once learned properly, the Black Shark is a joy to fly and is very capable, too. Love the Shark content!
Don’t know how many others I speak for, but as a relative newbie who only has jet exp. I find the ka50 a very uniquely appealing chopper to try due to its single seat capabilities… great option to spice up content too!
I must say GS that your Videos are by far the most informative and entertaining I have watched in DCS content. The Donkey video I was watching yesterday was hilariously funny watching you take down everything. Your skill in everything DCS is impressive to say the least, PvP included.
Just bought. Was tired of the videos and not in the store. I went to store couldn't find it. It refreshed the page and it was there. $10 can't beat that.
Ka-50 was my first module. Flew it a lot back in the day. The coaxial rotors make it much more stable and easier to fly than the other DCS helicopters.
KA-50 was my first DCS module, many moons ago, before the A-10 appeared. loved flying that. Currently updating my OpenBeta installation so I can get access to the BS3 module, and digging out my BS2 manuals lol, see if I can remember how to even start it :P
Nice video! Definitivley want to see more KA videos , but to be honest a nice mountain , low fly , sneaky missions will be awesome! Nobody show how this beast performs in dificult terrain.
Oh boy... Thanks for the vid GS. Seems its time to get into Black Sharks cockpit again. And answering your question, yes please. More Ka-50 content. Thank you in advance.
Thanks for this. Please, by all means, include more like this, perhaps even with more in-depth small how-tos while you are setting up the helo! Thanks again.
Man! The Ka-50 was my first module in DCS. Still got the CD in my rack... Can´t wait to fly it - hopefully the old missions/campaigns (btw the absolut best/designed with love in DCS) will support the BS3? Any info regarding this? Also: Try and use the override for the Vikhrs. You don´t have to be that precise with them then and it works the same!
Like others, the KA-50 was my first DCS module. So, yeah 10 bucks to have a whole new model, all the internal detail, and some new weapon and defensive capability? Heck ya, instant buy! I have been re-mapping the HOTAS, watching vids, reading documentation, and ... yeah, crashing it a whole lot today! I've always been fascinated with it, the counter-rotating rotars, a friggin ejection seat in a chopper! And, the whole thing is just a beast. You know that it was built to go murder stuff, nothing else!
I've flown the KA-50 a little and I really enjoy it. Recently I've been CPG in the Apache for a buddy, but, I've really been wanting to get back to the KA-50. Would be great to see some more videos with it.
It is the same Igla that the Igla-dudes on the ground fire. I have seen aircraft eat multiple hits from those and keep going before so this is nothing new. The Mi-24 Hind/Krokodil with the R-60Ms is still the better option for air-to-air.
Your first pronunciation of "Gepard" was very accurate. Sounded like we Germans say it. But we are very unhappy with Russian choppers shooting on our pussycat tanks. Our diplomatic channels will get in contact with yours 😎.
More KA-50 videos please! This is one of the most exciting and also most difficult modules for me. I bought it one month ago and at first it seemed impossible to fly it. Now I got familiar with the controls and autopilot modes and weapon systems, I had to switch my brain into a different working mode to fly this helo, but it turned out this bird is unbelievably easy to fly and operate effectively, I love it
Hey GS Loving the new little Documentary's lessons be it even the new B-21 Raider But i Truly Love the old History Lessons be it Iran Iraq or Nam or even topics like the first SAM's , Or the massive loss of B-52's in NAM , The setting up of TOP GUN cuz of the MIG -21 ... I know you have not covered all them but the ones you have i love Huge fan as you know , I'm a sub of yours for years & years now.. Love how much credit your channel is finally getting BEST DCS Channel By fucking Far.. there amazing tho bro tho's history lessons , You pick amazing topics to cover , Thanks again al the uploads , Your ACE Man , Nice one , Much Love from Ireland bud, you know i got to say it Lmfao .. EF-2000 vs F-15/16/18 lol sorry bro i had too LOL * Yes you in the EF lol , Thanks for everything again man! hard work does not go unnoticed
If @GrowlingSidewinder has watched the 90s classic movie "Firebirds" he'd remember that the optimal kill angle for a helicopter engagement is "... above and behind from the 6 o'clock." (No shade intended. Mild teasing only.)
@@tovarish_kommandir 🙄 Being a Kid shouldn't limit motivation and hard work. You must be in school watching Utube videos again ? when you should be studying for the Job that will allow you to buy that Gaming Pc of choice.
i actually wanted to buy AH-64 D as my first helo module but because I mostly play alone and not with someone else I guess the KA-50 would be the better choice, right?
ka-50 was never produced in large numbers and is completely replaced with ka-52, the two-seater version. Both machines have very distinctive sound, like subaru in helicopter world
@@GrowlingSidewinder looks a bit plastic. The f-14 cockpit with all the weathering and scratches looks real. I would expect the same level of weathering if not more on an old russian bird.

You should do an Apache vs Black Shark dogfight
Most important question is. How does it compare to the Gazelle in a guns only scenario?
No you shouldn’t.
Huey vs black shark immediately lol
Ка-50 is amazing) Somehow so elegant and brutal at the same moment
External detail is spectacular. Especially the rotors. Never seen anything like it.
The slow motion is jaw dropping
Amazing, lots of hours invested making it so accurate.
Rotors made me do a double take first time I took it for a flight. Looked so real it was uncanny.
first off, that intro is literally the coolest DCS video i've ever seen. second, the black shark 3's 3D model is the best 3D modeling i've ever seen in a combat sim. 😲😲
I'm falling in love with this Helicopter all over again.
Ka-50 was my first full fidelity model many, many moons ago. Systems can require a fair bit of learning (AP anyone?) but once learned properly, the Black Shark is a joy to fly and is very capable, too. Love the Shark content!
How long did it take you to become efficient in it?
Don’t know how many others I speak for, but as a relative newbie who only has jet exp. I find the ka50 a very uniquely appealing chopper to try due to its single seat capabilities… great option to spice up content too!
KA-50 is a terrifying helicopter thing looks so mean its insane
I must say GS that your Videos are by far the most informative and entertaining I have watched in DCS content. The Donkey video I was watching yesterday was hilariously funny watching you take down everything. Your skill in everything DCS is impressive to say the least, PvP included.
you're far too kind, thank you. I appreciate you.
Would love more KA-50 stuff, I have the module but have never learned it. Always end up in the Apache instead. But maybe now is the time to learn:)
For the Vikhrs, you don’t need to align the two circles in the hud if you put the switch in front of the cyclic from Auto to Man.
I suggest doing this, you can fire off the Vikhrs from a very large envelope in MAN mode. No reason to use AUTO.
I would certainly like the Ka-52 or Mi-28N module.
Ka-50: **Fires AA missile at Apache.**
Apache: "that's adorable"
Vikhr vs Apache on the other hand....
It eats one and dies.
That extraordinarily eye-catching well animated rotors alone is enough to convince me to swipes my credit card for this module.
100% want more ka-50 content
Yes. More Ka-50 missions please!
I love how instead of aa-2 or other air to air heatseekers, the Russians just strapped a few manpads to the thing.
Kinda like how america strapped the aim-120 to a truck
Why not tho
US army strapped stinger to Apache so...
Love the ka-50; nothing else in the world like it
Yes there is ka52 😉
@@janee7995 It's almost the same, just in ugly :P
It’s a double seater
@@CakePrincessCelestia ka52 is beautiful
Would love to see more KA50 content!
Just bought. Was tired of the videos and not in the store. I went to store couldn't find it. It refreshed the page and it was there. $10 can't beat that.

That opening should have been the release trailer. Amazing footage!
Looking forward to more of this. I would like a reason to dip on a third time for a ten. Learned two new things straight off.
GS, of course we want to see more of this beast!

So far I've enjoyed all the content you've released. 👍
DAMN, he be making gameplay trailers now? That was epic, I loved it!
9:50 it would be awesome to see how close you get to the deck in 3rd person. Jets too.
Great stuff.
great video, love the combination of "live" and extenal replay, works really well.
Oh boy... Thanks for the vid GS. Seems its time to get into Black Sharks cockpit again. And answering your question, yes please. More Ka-50 content. Thank you in advance.
Well that's just gorgeous. And always happy to see air-to-ground content (especially when you clearly enjoy it)!
Yes more ka-50 videos. Never heard of it
3:34 Nice!
12:59 Finally, you reached minimum speed :)
Thanks for this. Please, by all means, include more like this, perhaps even with more in-depth small how-tos while you are setting up the helo! Thanks again.
The details are impressive.Great work of the creators.
Finally, an good opponent for the Apache helicopter.
There should be a Mi-28 as well in DCS.
Looks like a powerful asset. Looking forward to future videos featuring it.
I would love other ka-50 videos
Thank you, great Video. Love the KA-50. Many more videos please.
yes. more ka-50 videos!
So clean and well maintained in the video- reality is much different. lol
Looks awesome. I've still never tried a chopper but I've always figured if I did it would be the Black Shark
Yep please create some more KA50 videos! Great stuff
Man!

Dude you got a DCS DLC CD? That’s dope
@@Geometrys No, I got the original BS1 on DVD - thats how old I am
@@mgplaying8435 Same... and a fricken printed manual!
The Growler in a Black Shark. Never thought I'd see the day😂👍

Apache be like, "you hear something?" lol
I'm totally in for more Ka-50 videos!
One of my favorite helicopters, and having the module already I'm looking forward to the upgrade!
YES!! More KA-50 content!!!
Funny thing about having those Iglas: the AH-1 could carry AIM-9 Sidewinders. Imagine having an Apache armed with AIM-9Xs
Please more Ka50. My first Helo and I am still learning. Love that thing
More black shark please! Been loving the AG content lately.
The Igla seems bugged. Even at just 1200 grams of explosive, you'd think it would do more damage than basically a single cannon round.
It is the same Igla that the Igla-dudes on the ground fire. I have seen aircraft eat multiple hits from those and keep going before so this is nothing new. The Mi-24 Hind/Krokodil with the R-60Ms is still the better option for air-to-air.
How was ED able to much such a detailed red helicopter but can’t for fixed wing aircraft?
Your first pronunciation of "Gepard" was very accurate. Sounded like we Germans say it.

Aesome video. I like the new automatic flare dipensor system. Yes more KA50 videos.
Sure!! Let's see it in action!!
Definitely more please! Also would like to see A2A with Mi-24 :)
Just keep an eye out for those stinger MANPAD's.
Dear GS, many thanks for the great video. Much appreciated. Kind regards, Nick
Hi Nick, Thank you as always for letting me preview these great modules. Always Nice to be able to show them off for everyone.
@@GrowlingSidewinder great stuff, many thanks again for everything you do for DCS and this wonderful community. Kind regards Nick
would love to see more ka-50. Your channel has great variety and this, the a2a, bvr, ground pound stuff is great.
Yup. More Ka-50 please.

Beautiful, need to buy ASAP!!!
one of the best looking heli imo
I want MORE Ka-50 videos.
Just got mine too! I have to map some new keys, which is fine, going to try it after watching this video. Cheers mate, thanks for the video.
its the fking meanest looking attack helicopter ever.....
and yes.....i would not mind some ka-50 content
Based
Hope to see more flights with the Ka-50
More ka-50 videos plz I loved it
The Black shark is actually waht got me in to DCS . What a journey it has been since then :)
Wow!! Alot of details 😯
1:04 new Detail with the Cartridges? Never noticed on BS2, Awesome
i would like to see more, great vid
That Apache fodder looks nice.
Hahaha yeah right. Ka50 carries more and can carry a2a missiles. Nice try though.
lol patriot ahahah
@@nemanja162 yeah those a2a missiles looked reaaaal deadly in the video 😂
@@nemanja162 Are you choosing to forget the last 10 months? 🤣
Crapache literally won't be able to do anything to the Shark, cope harder
Yes more ka-50 please

Love the Black Shark thanks for sharing! o7
Oh that's good, go get the guy for firing at you then get taken out by power lines.
Nice video GS, love the Shark.
I would love to play dcs but I'm broke and don't own a pc ;(
I used to play it on a cheap crappy gaming laptop, so maybe that's an option for you

Dosent this heli has an ejection seat..?
Show that thing working in one of your vids please..
Yes it does
Redfor Bestfor. Can't wait!
Based
yes plz, more KA-50 videos
I'd like to see a PvP dogfight with an Apache that knows your looking for it.
Finally can start building this pit .
Took em long enough to release it .
probably the first heli i flew on DCS. but hell i was confused as hell on how to fly that thing
great video -----thank you for sharing
Outstanding piece of machinenary! 😎💪💖👍👊☝
That is one sexy helicopter.
ka-50 was never produced in large numbers and is completely replaced with ka-52, the two-seater version. Both machines have very distinctive sound, like subaru in helicopter world
External detail is amazing, but it feels like little if anything changed internally in the cockpit (visuals). Am I correct?
I believe the internals are higher resolution also.
@@GrowlingSidewinder looks a bit plastic. The f-14 cockpit with all the weathering and scratches looks real. I would expect the same level of weathering if not more on an old russian bird.
Yeah I'm a sucker for anything Ka-50 Black Shark 3 right now. Bring it on.
Please a night demo as well. Any changes the the shkval filters knob?
9.99 for the upgrade is a spectacular deal.
I love the details, but by God they better ship this with good LODs.
Yes DCS upgrade pricing is super friendly
Min 6:52 the smoke from rhe crash site pass trhugt the K52 cockpit. Some lill things to fix
