Is there a particular reason why the RU KA-520 SUPER HOKUM gets a 30mm Cannon?

If you've used air vehicles, you will have noticed that the Super Hokum gets to equip a 30mm Cannon whilst the Apache Warchief, it's US counterpart, can not equip a 30mm Cannon.

I'm just curious why exactly this is? I thought the GOAL was asymmetrical vehicle capabilities.

Don't even get me started on why the Jets differ so much from each other.

  • @S3SSioN_SoL It's ok if they have different weapons as long as they do the same dps against all targets. If those values are different, then it needs to be fixed. Otherwise I am OK with different armament as long as damage over time is the same.
  • In BFV they leaned in on the asymmetry. I guess they wanted to make things interesting? I feel like for most players who are probably average pilots at best the dogfights with the jets are a lot more even than when two experienced jet pilots fight. I’ve definitely seen a fair amount of F35s shoot down SU57s when playing so maybe DICE feels no need to make an adjustment. 

  • I'm with you on this the Apache needs a forward firing cannon for the driver all the other helo's have one or the option.  Air Superiority real shows it at least for me.

    I dont fly so i really dont have a dog in the fight but in a real apache the back seater doesnt tupically control the cannon (they can as a backup but the pilot typically just flies
