Apache... more firepower and agility

Why is this even a thread? Apache, hands down.

AGM-122 Sidearm anti-radar missile
AIM-9 Sidewinder Air-to-Air missiles

Ka-50 is the most maneuverable attack helicopter ever made, but Apache has superior computers and electronics and such. Not sure about armament.

Even seen an Apache do a barrel roll or vertical shot? I've seen both happen.

after looking at the globalsecurity website, do you think it is a good idea to have all that info available to anyone who wants to see? i mean for the apache they have climb rates and armament lods, and for the KA-50 there is only a little bit of info. sorry if i am hijacking your thread.

None of that infomation is sensative, let alone accurate.

That's well and good, but I still believe the Ka-50 could outdo it in that area. I can't say which is a better helicopter, but I do know that aerial acrobatics don't win the battles.

Then you certainly don't know helo operations. It's a combonation of firepower, agility, speed and the pilots ability t multi-task in a situation.

Whatever you say. If you read my post carefully, you'd realize that I said in the AREA of fancy tricks and maneuverability the Ka-50 is superior, not that it had a better overall package! I was not talking about the combination of firepower, agility, speed, and the pilot's multitaking ability.
