    But, the Longbow system (so relevant to the Apache in this case) works by detecting (up to 128), classifying and then organising according to threat the .
    yes - this shit again
    no way that this chopper can detects ALL possible TARGETS AND FIRE same methods as in game.
    Every system has response time,Sensitivity and many other parameters.
    I understand you most players want some kind of cheating system like we have now but I'm try tell you that vet mod should be more realistic.

    hmm quite a lot of misinformation in here. The Vikhr is supposed to be able to engage air targets, using it's proximity fuse (the same way a Sidewinder etc does). the Hellfire can't do this.

    Perhaps the missiles are too effective, but that doesn't mean its ability is wrong.
    And anyway, I thought this was the kind of game where that kind of balancing is not needed. Eg making all similar classes of vehicle the same, but with different models and skins- no thanks. Just make missions that make sense.

    Maybe people trying to top gun in their AH64 should consider making missions where the Apache does not have to attack air targets..much the same as in real life.

    The problem in ArmA II is that the 9A1472 Vikhr flight profile is wrong, it flies straight instead of spiraling and much to fast and manouverable and can not be evaded even by Jets.
    So far the Vikhr is onyl know for having shot down a remote controlled non manouvering bomber for test purposes.

    Best solution would be simply add missing AA missiles on wingtips to both Ka-52 and AH-64. But that would require model changes, and this is last thing I would expect to happen.
