Kamov Ka-29

Soviet Naval Assault-Transport Gunship

 

 

The Ka-29 is the heavily armed assault version of the Kamov Ka-27 ASW helicopter. It was created to support amphibious landing operations, and features a co-axial rotor design that eliminates the need for a tail rotor and enables all the power to be used towards producing lift and higher top speed thru the elimination of the dyssymmetry of lift. Development of the Ka-29 started in 1973, first flight took place in 1976, trial were completed in 1979 and production began in 1984. Entered service in 1985 and is sill in service. It is a relatively obscure helicopter, many people mistaking it's tamer brother, the Ka-27.

 

Compared to the Ka-27, the Ka-29 features a larger redesigned cockpit, seating 3 crewmen, and can carry 16 fully armed troops. Alternatively in the medical evacuation role it can carry 4 stretchers, 7 seated casualties and medical attendants and it can carry external loads on a sling with a maximum weight of 4 000 kg. It features roughly 350kg of armor around the cockpit and engines.

 

Armament wise it can take a wide variety of standardized loadouts such as S5 and S8 rocket pods, sub-munition dispensers, 23mm gun pods, torpedoes, bombs and Shturm-V and Ataka-V guided missiles. It features a flexible-mount 4-barrel GShG-7.62 rotary machinegun in a hidden compartment on the right side of the nose and provisions for mounting a fixed 2A42 30mm auto-cannon on the left side pylon outriggers. The coaxial rotor design leads to lower vibrations and better accuracy than conventional rotor designs.

I actually made a low-poly 3D model of the Ka-29 a few years ago for Second Life. If I had more free time and knew how to rig for the WT engine I'd probably redo the model to current standards and try getting it in WT myself.

Hopefully at some point before OBT, we’ll get some detailed cockpits as well, because this cockpit looks awesome.

it's really cool if they would implement all the navy helis aswell. to further support the naval development.
