Abe Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 (edited) Hi all, I think I'm not the only one that couldn't figure out how to spend my precious/hard earned respect on the prestige vehicles. From now on I will post information about prestige vehicles that I get my hands on. Of course I cannot afford to buy every single one of them. So I can only test them whenever an admin is in good mood to spawn me a temporary one to test out. Big thanks to Red Hands for spawn me the first vehicle I tested and documented. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AH-1Z Escort (this one might be the Hex version): Pilot weapon: inner-pod hydra rockets: 32 outer-pod hydra rockets: 32 Gunner weapon: M197 20mm cannon: 750 rounds AIM 9L sidewinder(AA): 2 Inventory capacity: 3000 Crate capacity: 0 Passenger capacity(exclude pilot and gunner): 0 Advanteges: Very comfortable to fly. Very stable. The HUD displays all the needed information including speed, altitude, weapon type, ammo, etc. Vehicles in front of you are highlighted on the HUD. The M197 gun is pretty decent. In my opinion the M197 gun is better than Mi-24 Superhind's gun. Disadvanteges: Top speed is not very fast (about 250 to 270 km/h). Not armored enough against .50cal and above. Probably will be killed with only one AA missile. Due to poor armor, AH-1Z cannot stay in battlefield for long. Cannot load crates. Cannot slingload. \ Pilot Interior view Gunner interior view Gunner no zoom Gunner maximum zoom Edited May 8, 2018 by Abe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFC Joker Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 Great post Abe and a perfect solution for the discussion Crow and I had last night about stats for the prestige vehicles (what are they?). Look forward to your updates! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abe Posted May 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 KA-50 (I believe it should be Ka50 G SLA) Pilot: Dumb fire rockets: 40 FLIR AT rockets: 12 Autoannon AP: 230 Autoannon HE: 230 inventory: 1000 top speed: ~320 km/h Passenger capacity(exclude pilot and gunner): 0 Advantages: This is the only one person helicopter by design, which means the pilot has control of every single weapon. This helicopter is very powerful against tanks. This is the only helicopter I've flown so far that allows the pilot to lock on land vehicles with AT rockets. I finished a blackmarket mission with it. At least 4 armored vehicles was destroyed by this helicopter. It is armored very well. I highly recommend this helicopter to everyone. Disadvantages: Like most Russian helicopters, little information is displayed to the pilot. It doesn't have the nice HUD American helicopters have. You will not know how much ammo you have left. You can kinda estimate which weapon you are using by looking at the shape of the cursor. This helicopter can only hold 1000 inventory. Basically it can only hold enough food for you to survive. This helicopter cannot slingload, neither can it load any crates. It is a pure one person attack helicopter.

Abe Posted May 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 KA-52 (I believe this is not a prestige vehicle) Pilot: Dumb fire rockts: 40 Gunner: FLIR: 12 Cannon AP: 230 Cannon HE: 230 inventory: 3000 Passenger capacity(exclude pilot and gunner): 0 Advantages & Disadvantages: This helicopter is the two seat version of the KA-50. It has the same weaponry except these weapons are divided to pilot and gunner. I do not see any reasons to purchase this one rather than the KA-50 (if you can purchase at all). Pilot of this helicopter do not have access to AT rockets. If you are flying alone, you should buy KA-50. If you like to have a gunner, there are many other two seat helicopters that are better than this one.

Abe Posted May 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 AH-64D (I believe this is the Apache Longbow) Pilot: Inner pod dumb fire rockets: 32 Gunner: M230 Autocannon: 1200 rounds AGM-114K Hellfire: 8 Laser designator Top speed: ~520 (maybe faster than this) inventory: 3000 crate capacity: 0 Passenger capacity(exclude pilot and gunner): 0 Advantages: This helicopter has the most powerful radar among all helicopters. The radar scans 360 degrees with a range of 7.5km. The radar will even pick up a vehicle when the vehicle's engine is not running. HUD displays many useful information. Vehicles are highlighted on HUD. Unlike the AH-1Z's HUD which only displays when you look forward, AH-64's HUD will display no matter where you look at. Armored very well, I'd say it's at least on par with Mi-24 Hind. Extremely fast. Faster than theoretical top speed of helicopter aircrafts. Disadvantages: This is the only helicopter I have flown so far that has a sun glare problem (shown below).The sun glare will block aiming. I did not have a chance to test, but I believe this helicopter cannot slingload. The Hellfire AT missiles can not be effectively used by pilot. It is basically useless if you have no gunner or designator. The M230 autocannon is very powerful, but it's not as effective as dumb fire rockets. This helicopter only holds 32 dumb fire rockets. If you are flying alone, dumb fire rockets will be the most useful weapon for you, yet you don't have enough of them.

Abe Posted May 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 SeaHawk (I believe this is the SeaHawk Multi) Pilot: Inner pod: 38 dumb fire rockets Outter pod: 38 dumb fire rockets Copilot: Camera Left gunner: M134 Minigun Right gunner: M134 Minigun Inventory capacity: I can't recall Crate capacity: 1 crate Top speed: 250 km/h Passenger capacity(exclude pilot and gunner): 8 (estimate) Advantage: Can slingload, can load crates, can take passengers. Disadvantage: This helicopter basically is an American version Mi-24 Hind. But it is inferior in every aspect. It has no HUD. No information displayed at all. If you get out of the gunner seat you will get stuck between rockets pods. It is heavy and slow. It cost 700,000 respects. I do not see a reason to purchase this helicopter instead of any version of the Hind. Front Front left Back left Pilot cockpit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abe Posted May 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 A-164 Wipeout CAS (prestige shop name is " Wipeout CAS". I personally purchased this one) Pilot: 30mm minigun: 1000 Falcon AA: 2 Macer AT: 6 Shrieker dumb fire rocket: 7 x 2 LOAL smart bomb: 4 Top speed: ~750 km/h Inventory capacity: 3000(needs double check) Crate capacity: 0 Passenger capacity(exclude pilot and gunner): 0 Advantages: Most other jets' camera can only rotate about 270 degrees, but A-164 Wipeout's camera can rotate 360 degrees. This is a huge advantage. It means that the camera can track enemy much better than other jets. The 30mm 7-berrel minigun is extremely effective against any vehicle. A-164 carrys more ammo for every weapon except AA missiles. It has 6 AT missiles, 14 dumb fire rockets, and 4 smart bombs. The AT missiles and smart bombs can take out most land vehicles with only one shot. Disadvantages: A-164 Wipeout does not enough flares for it to survive longer. It has no other apparent disadvantages. Front Front left Back right Pilot cockpit Pilot cockpit zoom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
