Buddy Lasing in the KA-50?

Is it possible to buddy lase in the KA-50 with another KA-50? with the Kh-25ML?

Using the KH-25ML it's possible to buddy lase. Make sure you're both on the same laser frequency.

How do you change the laser freq in the Ka-50? :huh:

Iirc it's that 3-way switch behind the stick, just below the store panel. It's called 'Laser Code Selector' I think. 3 preconfigured codes can be selected.

I am not sure if Su-25 have a fixed laser code, I guess should have it. If yes Ka-50 could do amazing job lasing for Su-25.

SU-25T has fixed code. 1113.

SU-25A cant use buddy lazing. IIRC it also uses 1113, but for reasons it just doesnt work.

KA-50 programming predates DCS World. It is harcoded and can only use the three settings on the panel and can only lase for other KA-50's

We will see what the future brings for this

I never did change this laser code selector. So is no way to edit them? Should be mission editor option for that.

I hope they do something in this regards. This simulator is getting boring with this red side full of limitations everywhere.

Interesting, I didn't know that. Do you know what the 3 codes are?

as I said. KA-50 predates DCS world.

It is hardcoded into the module. It doesnt use the same lasercode system as the rest of the sim.

In other words. it isnt using any particuloar laser code.

We will have to wait and see if BS3 changes this.

I sincerly hope so

I see, thanks. or some reason I thought the 1113 you mentioned was one of the Ka-50s codes, when it actually was for the Su-25T :doh:

This definately needs some work done in BS3. A Shark sneaking up at treetop level would be an awesome asset to do some buddy lasing with.

Question? In case I am doing buddy lasing for Kh-25ML. It is possible enemy spot my laser from a ground unit with NVG using CA module?

It shouldn't since what you would see with NVG is an IR laser, which operates in a different band than lasers used for weapons guidance

FYI we just completed a training ex on this, and the buddy lasing is working as expected as of this date.

Just to be shure... you cannot buddy lase for Vhikrs, right ?

I don't think so since the Viklhr missile "eye" is pointed towards the launcher, not towards the target.

You "can"...  but the person firing the missile needs to fire it into the laser beam at a pretty low angle so needs to launch from pretty close to the lasing heli.  Because of that it's usefulness is pretty limited.   Basically only useful if you have a few left AND you've had your own laser burn/blown out.
