DCS – Producer’s Note 7 – Defensive Systems

Friday, December 19th, 2008

Here is the seventh Producers Note for the DCS:Blackshark helicopter flight simulator.

This two part video shows you how the defensive systems of the KA-50 work. You may be disappointed to discover that there is no Radar Warning Receiver (RWR). But she does have flares and a laser warning receiver (LWR).
Nice to see that tanks and APCs are little tougher than they were in Lockon.
