My first helicopter video! A combat search and rescue mission + troop insertion on the dynamic cold war campaign server. I am joined by Rhyn0 who ran me through the basics on the Mi-8 and escorted me in his Mi-24. I wanted to make this video to document and share what helicopter gameplay is like on the server, it is actually quite fun and very rewarding with what you can do to impact the frontline.

This channel focuses on combat flight simulators like DCS World and IL-2 Great Battles. If you play either of these games or flight simulators like Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and enjoy aviation and dogfighting then this channel is for you. Even if you are coming from War Thunder and BF2042, you can learn to fly these combat flight simulators.
I play using TrackIR5 and do not use VR, this means that I am able to capture footage for tutorials, how-to-guides and other multiplayer tips and tricks video in 1440p.
Eagle Dynamics has made it easier than ever to learn DCS because the game is technically free. The game has the F-15, F-16, Su-27, Mig-29, Mig-21, Mig-19, Mig-15, F-86 Sabre, Jf-17, Mirage 2000, F-18 Hornet and F-14 Tomcat. There are soon other modules coming such as the Mig-23 and F-4. Lastly, there are helicopters like the Mi-24 Hind and AH-64 Apache.

Anyone else here start to fly helicopters on the server who traditionally only flew fixed wing?

Yep, had only flown WW2 in IL-2 and WarThunder before hopping in helos in DCS. Though I have since bought a few jets in DCS, I can't stop flying the helo's. It's too fun, especially in VR. The Huey and Mi-8 are both a joy to fly on the server, both are challenging in different ways and both are great fun in helo dogfights.

Do you think a CH-53 or MH-53 Pave Low would be fitting for DCS? I for one would LOVE a 53, but I know that some people are dead-focused on weapons and weapons alone. A heavy-lift helo would be a ton of fun IMO. Especially if ED would allow us to store things in the internal bay!

I finally made the jump to multiplayer and realized how unprepared I was. When just messing around with single player missions I always had hot starts, easy communications set or even starting in the air to save time. You can't do that in most online servers. When you spawn in, you are cold and dark, you have to radio the tower for each step of the process and there's no external views, nothing. Just you in a cold and dark aircraft. And in some aircraft, like the Mi-8 (and it's pronounced Em-eye eight, not me eight) the radios are a whole world unto itself. So, I had to go back and basically start from scratch. There were some aircraft I had never done a proper landing! When the mission was completed I would just jump out and not bother to land where I was supposed to land. That shit won't fly in a server when others are counting on you to land, rearm and refuel, sit while the mechanics repair damage and get back out there. So my advice to all new players is before you even fire the weapons on your module, make sure you can do all that stuff I just mentioned. You'll never make it on multiplayer if you don't. Liked and subbed

You'll have a lot more success with mi8 rockets if you have no sideslip and solid forward speed. If you are using your rudder at all and not trimmed its a good indication you will have some significant horizontal deviance. Try getting a good speed for the run then trim out and cut just a bit of power before firing the rockets so you arent being dragged along by the rotors, you more closely mimic the attack run of a fixed wing aircraft - straight in

@@Enigma89 how good is the Mi8 vs the ground targets on your server? Just getting back to DCS after a year hiatus and the Mi8 has been my bae off and on for years. Considering spending the time to really learn the technical aspects of the bird and getting into 'multirole' play with it if you will.

@Enigma89 2 жыл бұрын

@@CH-cm1yx @C H The Mi8 is viable on the server because it can do troop deployments. Basically it can ferry troops to the front and the troops blow up targets. Once the SPAAA is down then the rockets are fine. It's no hind but it is a good troop bus. Just know that the troop deployments are bugged on the server due to the latest DCS patch. We have a fix and are releasing it this week.

I read all of the comments even from the older videos. The Hind typically did not carry weapons and troops. The Hind is one of the strongest modules on the server so we had to balance it out a bit because Blue has no attack chopper.
