On this channel we like to do a lot of dogfighting most videos are some sort of dogfight between 2 different aircraft as we explore their different capabilities. From time to time I like to dabble in Virtual Reality, I think VR is a great new technology and I love to show that stuff off for the channel from time to time.
If you enjoy war thunder or Microsoft flight simulator 2020 or even dogfighting in Battlefield 2042, consider getting yourself into Digital Combat Simulator by Eagle Dynamics, the Combat side of Aviation with the BVR and Dogfights really provides a different and interesting perspective on aviation. You can fly all kinds of combat aircraft including the F-16, F-15, F-14, JF-17, Su-27, Mig-29, Mirage and the F-18 Hornet along with many other aircraft and helicopters like the Ka-50 and Mi-8.

There is some nostalgia. Love seeing the 1st Cav patch on the nose. I served as the ADA Officer (Warrior 3Y) of the 1st Cav Aviation Brigade in OIFII in Baghdad, at the time we were the 4th BCT of the 1st Cavalry Division, later re-designated as the Air Cavalry Brigade. Have many good pilot friends of AH-64's, OH-58's and UH-60's. Our commander COL James McConville flew quite often, he liked missions that took him near Sauder City (nicknamed the Sauder City Multi-Use Range, because you always got to shoot something), great boss, probably why he's now the Army Chief of Staff. "Warriors!"

I know some people whining on Reddit about being shot down by ground units in the Apache that need to watch these 2 videos with a real Apache pilot(and your recent A-10 video) They need to see how you actually engage targets. They’re the type of players that want to be able to just fly in and hover over targets destroying them at their leisure. They want ED to change the game rather than themselves actually learn and adapt to figure out the right way to attack. Can’t really change their opinion, they want it to be more game than simulator. I tried telling them that real pilots don’t fly through areas that aren’t secured, and that Warthog and Apache pilots have tactics to “reduce” the risk of taking fire. You can’t absolutely negate that risk unless you don’t attack at all. They just can’t seem to comprehend that you can’t just run in guns hot and not get shot down. There is a reason that nearly 100 A-10’s in the AF have received damage from ground fire, a few actually being lost and more being beyond repair. Those same people think that just because only 8 A-10 were actually shot down that it means they should be mostly immune to ground fire. They really cannot comprehend that even just one guy with a rifle poses a significant threat to both attack platforms. One guy with an AK can take down an Apache, or do enough damage to a Warthog to send it home. I know it shouldn’t bother me, but there are just SOOO many people whining and trying to force ED to make changes rather than themselves, and instead of adapt to the situation and learn/practice they just want the game to change to suit them. It’s annoying as hell.

@Bahnfanatiker Жыл бұрын

just a hint, as far as I know you don't need a clear line of sight for those hellfires. If you can give it kind of the correct direction and distance it is enough, the missile will in any way search for it target for itself. So if you see just a small part of a tank, you can lase it and then fire, the missile will search in this area and find the tank and hit it exatly where it should. Or if you don't see the target at all, you can lase somethingh nearby, for example a tree next to it. The missile gets the direction and distance and will search with its own radar for the target there and find it even you don't see it at all. At least this is how it should be as far as I know :)

Really cool mission. I think it would be really cool to see you guys do a mission where you are working together with some A-10s to clear out an area of enemies. You would be picking off some targets with your hellfires, while also spotting and pointing out other targets that are better suited for the A-10's weapons. Like you might find a big cluster of enemy vehicles and tell the A-10s to drop a CBU-97 right on that area. Or laser a target and have an A-10 drop a GBU with the laser code you are using. Maybe also have them do a gun run on some tents and supply trucks if you come across a set of tents like you did in this mission.

@karlchilders5420 Жыл бұрын

The Marines updated their Cobra to be a HIGHLY effective gunship as well - yes, even rivaling and surpassing the Apache in multiple areas. Their use cases overlap in some areas and in others they are used differently. The AH-1 is much faster and more maneuverable, but the 64 has a better cannon and cannon targeting system. The AH-1 can shoot AIM-9s and carry a shit ton of weapons as well, including the hellfire.. I'd love to see it come to DCS as it is a VERY capable helo. Same with it's sister UH-1 upgrade (the UH-1 Venom). It's also super capable and is very good at what it does as well.
