As for the 7.62 mm GShG-7.62 minigun operated by the gunner, it is only really useful against helicopters you may encounter early game. Since the Ka-29 has access to the ballistic computer, this allows for great accuracy with both the rockets and the gun. They are great for destroying light tanks and critically damaging MBTs from range. The S-8KO unguided rockets penetrate up to 420 mm of armour at a 0° angle. If you feel that you can still fight and be supportive to the team, you have 40 S-8KOs and, if unlocked, the 30 mm 2A42 cannon. If you run out of ATGMs, it is advised to return to the helipad and re-arm. Eight Shturms is more than enough to destroy a great amount of enemies. With the 9M114 Shturm missiles, you'll be able to pick off targets from a distance, more importantly high-profile targets in good positions that may be giving your team a hard time. In Ground RB, with its armament, speed, and manoeuvrability, the Ka-29 is the perfect support helicopter. Not having S-24s makes it hard to engage enemies outside of close range without ATGMs (and the associated higher spawn costs), and the lack of air-to-air missiles seriously hampers the Ka-29's ability to defend itself against aircraft. The Ka-29 is still missing several important fixtures of the Hinds' arsenal, most notably the S-24 heavy rockets and R-60 air-to-air missiles. It is best to leave the hardpoints to other weapons. Although they pack a much bigger punch than the Ka-29's gatling gun, they are not nearly as useful against ground targets as the S-8KO rockets and are still much less effective than the 30 mm autocannon. The ballistic computer provides CCIP, making aiming a breeze.įinally, there are gun pods containing GSh-23L cannons. Swarms of 80 mm HEAT rockets are helpful for rocket rushes or sneaky flanks and are the Ka-29's main weapons during the stock grind. The ATGMs are mounted only on the outer pylons.Īlso like the Hinds, S-8KO rocket pods are available. The Ka-29 has better optical zoom (15x) than the Hinds (10x), which makes it easier to target weak points when using the Shturms from standoff ranges.

They will struggle against enemies with composite or reactive armour, so they should be prioritized for use against softer targets. They are rather weak, with poor raw penetration and no tandem warhead, but have great flight speed and decent range. The Ka-29's primary anti-tank weapon is the 9M114 Shturm missile, just like the Hinds. It even has access to APDS rounds, which can penetrate the roof and side armour of MBTs without too much trouble. It only has 200 rounds, but that is enough to do some serious damage to light vehicles. The Ka-29 can optionally mount a much more threatening 30 mm 2A42 autocannon on the left side of the fuselage. In addition, it does not have a proper turret, instead firing through a cutout in the nose, so the horizontal sweep of 15 degrees to the left and right is very limited. However, its rifle-calibre bullets cannot do meaningful damage to ground vehicles and contemporary jets can soak up many stray hits, so it is not nearly as threatening as the heavy machine guns and autocannons available to the Hinds. It is the Soviet equivalent to the US M134 Minigun and boasts a high rate of fire suitable for hosing down nearby aircraft. The Ka-29's internal gun consists of a GShG-7.62 gatling gun mounted in front of the gunner. 1 x 7.62 mm GShG-7.62 machine gun + HIRSS + 256 x countermeasures + IRCM + 1 x 30 mm 2A42 cannon (200 rpg).1 x 7.62 mm GShG-7.62 machine gun + HIRSS + 256 x countermeasures + IRCM.1 x 7.62 mm GShG-7.62 machine gun + HIRSS + 256 x countermeasures.1 x 7.62 mm GShG-7.62 machine gun + HIRSS.Pilots who enjoy the agility of this Kamov can look forward to the succeeding Ka-52 Allligator, a thoroughbred attack helicopter design that is one of the most capable in War Thunder. For close-in work, it has access to the same 30 mm 2A42 autocannon used by the BMP-2. It has 9M114 Shturm ATGMs, flares, HIRSS, and a ballistic computer just like the Hinds. While it won't win any beauty contests and does not look nearly as threatening as the contemporary Mi-24V/ P attack helicopters, the Helix has a surprising amount of firepower and should not be underestimated. The boxy fuselage and wide cabin are evidence of its roots in the standard Ka-27 anti-submarine/search-and-rescue model, of which the Ka-29 is a gunship variant. It has the signature Kamov coaxial rotor arrangement that eliminates the need for a tail rotor. The Kamov Ka-29 (NATO reporting name "Helix") has an odd appearance, even by the standards of Soviet helicopters.

It was introduced in Update 1.97 "Viking Fury". The Ka-29 is a rank VI Soviet attack helicopter
