DCS: Black Shark is a combat flight simulator allowing you to fly the Russian built Kamov Ka-50 Black Shark attack helicopter. It is a single seat aircraft meaning the pilot (in this case the player of the game) will be expected to both fly and operate weapons simultaneously. Considering the degree of detail the game is being geared to, this task is likely to take a lot of practice but will also be highly rewarding as with previous Eagle Dynamic's titles. Common tasks will include close air support and pin-point strikes using a vast array of weaponry that you and your wingmen will have access to. This armament includes a standard 30mm cannon, gun pods, various rockets, air to ground missiles and bombs to take on anything from trucks and tanks to other helicopters.
From the makers of Lock On: Modern Air Combat, this future title will probably be the most realistic combat simulation to date.
Overview
Black Shark is to be the first installment in the Digital Combat Simulation series currently being developed by Eagle Dynamics. The series is expected to be modular, each new game will add a new aircraft and any new content will be compatible with other games. There is a proposed schedule of nine months between each game, supposedley the next two titles will be the A-10 Thunderbolt II followed by the AH-64 Apache.DCS: Black Shark is a combat flight simulator allowing you to fly the Russian built Kamov Ka-50 Black Shark attack helicopter.

Detailed damage model.
The game features a scalable level of difficulty, this ranges from arcade gameplay where many of the avionics have been reduced to a few button presses and the aircraft flight model is simplified all the way up to full simulation where flying the helicopter will require in theory the same skill as flying the real thing. Nearly every button in the cockpit is clickable and will have an effect, complex systems such as the abris and skhval have both been modelled to the point where even the virtual contrast on the cockpit MFDs can be adjusted to the players liking.
