Welcome to my DCS World OH-58D mission playthrough! 🚁
Why did the squirrel sit on the branch watching the Kiowa Warrior helicopter shoot APKWS rockets?
Because it wanted to see who could store more precision nuts for winter!
In this video, we take on the first mission of the 'Stolen Content Mission 3-Pack' on the Syria map, this time flying the Kiowa Warrior. Our objective is to extinguish a small camp that has popped up 20km west of our airfield.
And as a little bonus, keep an eye out for a curious squirrel who’s watching from the trees, trying to figure out if the Kiowa or he can store more precision nuts for winter! Here's a breakdown of the
Objective: Extinguish a small camp west of the airfield.

The OH-58D Kiowa Warrior will feature the APKWS (Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System) as part of its arsenal. Here are the details specific to the OH-58D and APKWS in DCS World:
Weapon Integration:
- The OH-58D in DCS World will be able to carry and deploy APKWS rockets, providing precise strike capabilities.
- These guided rockets convert the standard Hydra 70 rockets into precision munitions using laser guidance, significantly increasing their accuracy.
Laser Guidance:
- The OH-58D's onboard laser designator can be used to guide APKWS rockets. The pilot or co-pilot can mark targets with the laser, ensuring the rockets hit with high precision.
- Ground units or other aircraft with laser designators can also mark targets for the OH-58D, offering flexibility in target acquisition.
Usage:
- The APKWS rockets are typically employed against lightly armored vehicles, personnel, and soft targets. They are especially useful in urban environments where precision is crucial to minimize collateral damage.
- The system allows the OH-58D to engage targets at ranges up to about 5 kilometers, depending on the specific engagement scenario and launch parameters.
Operational Advantages:
- The precision of the APKWS allows the OH-58D to perform effective close air support (CAS) missions.
- This capability makes the Kiowa Warrior a versatile asset on the battlefield, capable of both reconnaissance and direct-action roles.
- The relatively low cost and high accuracy of the APKWS provide a cost-effective solution for precision strikes compared to more expensive missile systems.
Flight and Combat Simulation:
- In DCS World, players will need to understand the integration of the laser designation systems with the APKWS to effectively engage targets.
- The simulation will likely include realistic parameters for target acquisition, engagement distances, and the effectiveness of the guided rockets.
