Action packed till the end! Lately I dedicated myself in flying the Mi-8 Hip doing recon and deep strikes. I felt a bit adventurous and decided to poke the hornet nest since there is a bluefor airbase nearby. This sortie took place on 18/8/2023 in Enigma's Cold War, Syria. Enjoy!

Hey nice video as always ! What rudder pedals/stick are you using please ? Thank you very much.

@Rodz88 10 ай бұрын

@@MyNameIsAleidan Thanks man! I do not use pedals yet, i use the pedals located on my HOTAS. Im currently using thrustmaster t16000m HOTAS (throttle) and VKB Gladiator NXT stick. Best bang for the buck!

@@Rodz88 Thank you very much for the answer. It seems like a very nice combo indeed, i tried the T16000M throttle and with some grease it is indeed very nice. Seeing how smoothly you pilot helicopters with it, its amazing. Can't wait to see more of it !

When you will buy the rudder peddals guys have a look at the Virpil's one. Truly a game changer. I know they are quite expensive but worth it if you fly heli

I'm astounded by the fact that a single Mi-8 survived - 2 A-10s 1 F-86 1 F-5 3+ SAM Dude just used his entire luck of stalinium, and MiG-21 clutch save at the start and end holy shit 💀💀💀

@charlesc7723 10 ай бұрын

Nice low flying, that does seem to help me, I always scrape the ground. Makes it harder for the fighters to track especially if you change direction. Of course I will say the MiG-21 was earning his pay as well. Great video!

@Rodz88 10 ай бұрын

Thanks man! Yeah, then make sudden changes in direction. If we are lucky to find a town nearby, it's a great hiding spot. It was very thrilling being hunted by jets! Yup! Our MiGs that night was outstanding.

Man a Pave Low would be perfect for a mission like this. Imagine that! Or even an older Chinook model. I’m going to fly the hell out of the Chinook, and I’m trying to become the pilot of one irl. An older, analog variant would be perfect for ECW. A Vietnam-era CH-47A and ACH-47A gunship would be absolutely glorious. But a Pave Low would just be a chef’s kiss in a sortie like this.

Flying the hip (and the hind) in the ECW server has been my almost only flight time in DCS, since i discovered this server... Sneaking to blue bases and droping troops is crazy and most of the times i get shotdown halfway, but when i do it, it feels great :D ... my only complain about the hip, the AI gunners are nothing more than passengers... guess they like more drinking their russian vodka, than doing their job :D

@Rodz88 10 ай бұрын

I agreed! Once a while, we try to create excitement by doing these crazy mission rather than the routine mud moving stuff. I wish one day the gunners can call out targets proactively, that would be fun
