@@shoktroop for the scale of the game it looks pretty amazing at max settings if you can run it, especially at night with headlights and flashlights shining through trees miles away. looks much better than arma 3 at the very least

Incredible heli flying. I once meet a chopper pilot in Original Arma in KOTH who goes by Squid who was paralyzed quadrapeligic during basic training and spends his now days playing pc games. He only could use his thumbs mainly but god damn was his heli piloting possibly even better than this.
This is a perfect reason why Handicapable is a actually good description. Handicapped. Yes. Uncapable? Feck now, gimme a chopper and i'll invade the enemy even without any arms and legs.

You realy learn how to make mud into jummy soup in the army. N o, Nature did not give us lemons, we made lemons ourselves, so the expression should be: When Life gives you citrus and sour oranges, make lemons.
Oh I remember. How many of these I met in Arma 3 and I myself was like this, just to fly closer to the ground until, because of a lag, it crashed and killed the entire landing force. now at least 2-3 meters from the ground
Yeah, I had that once and everyone took the piss regardless of how much I swore it was a hitbox issue Until the guy who did DCS daily for 5 years had exactly the same happen in the same spot
@@latch9781 Yeah, if you're bragging with your flying skills (I do it too), there is no excuse for failing, any excuse will make it worse. You walk the walk of shame. 😅😅
oh my god dude the lag was so annoying and you knew that shit was gonna hit the ground cause you had about a split second of gap between that snap back maneuver either failing or succeeding based on how fast the chopper was able to reduce speed. The chinook was a flexible BBW I had so much fun in invade and annex games in arma 3 exploiting different mods that had OP weapons lol. I used to strap an IED on myself and paradrop into combat. Well, I never activated the parachute so right before I hit the ground id set off the IED and I literally became a human missile. A lot more fun was had by way of placing C4 on the drones and using them as kamakazis. apologize but I was the reason TAW and the other servers nerfed arty support from arma 2 onwards, cause them damn A10 pilots would log in later in the day and were pissing me off everytime they'd clear the enemies before anyone could drop in. Nobody had actually realized the overpowered nature of having artillery at the spawn before, and I would just shell the shit out of the AO with it.
Good stuff, dude. I used to do a lot of heli flying for Invade & Annex in Arma3. Miss it. Need to get on Reforger and show these young bucks what's up haha
@@ryancxx yeah the heli in the lead, it would enter a Vortex ring state, since it's not moving/no forwards momentum for lift while doing a 180 basically.
@@Norðmaður hmm.. i mean the chopper dips quite alot, but he dips out of it and seems to increase the rotorspeed quite a bit at the end. I mean im not an actual pilot, so heck waht do i know, right? But first he gives himself upwards momentum, does the spin 180 that drops the heli like a stone, but quite a few meters (Im judigng 5-10) the heli have already turned back in upright and rotors counters the downward momentum from the unpowered fall? Again, not a real pilot (And my text might very well make that rather obvious even if i didnt make that clear), but i am curious to learn more here why the above is not the case. I'll start by reading about Vortex ring states i guess. Edit: After like 2 lines of reading, yea, i get why now. Never mind. The rotors wouldnt counteract the fall because it would not provide lift, only circulate the vortex ring, right?
Arma helicopter videos are always cool, loved to leave dyslexcy videos just running aside or fall asleep to. :D Long time since i played and have flown.
I miss the large maps and need for transports in modern games, my favorite was Joint Operations, where pilots got score for how well passengers did for a while after leaving the helicopter. And how you could transport tanks on ferries, or jeeps in the larger helicopters, or had to sit on the bed of lorries for several minutes, or racing rubber rafts up rivers...
If I played Arma, I think I would work very hard at being a skilled Heli or Cargo pilot as I have done in other games. These things are often overlooked yet valuable contributions to game play and as an older man I tend to gravitate towards contributing at a fundamental level.
Well long, tall Sally, she's built for speed, she got Everything that Uncle John need Oh baby, yeah, baby, whoo-ooh, hoo-ooh, baby Havin' me some fun tonight, yeah
One of my uncles was in the Vietnam never would talk about what he seen or did over there and would tell you to drop the topic. My grandpa on the other hand was in the Army during World War II and Korean War. He did talk about stuff and even let me hold his M1 Garand rifle when I was an adult of course and before his passing. I remember plenty of times going to grandpa's house and while growing up there was a big glass case. Inside was all sorts of World War II stuff including a M2 Mortar with two rounds right by it I'm sure it was deactivated. I remember long before that family member passed away and my dad got some of his things. Once my dad got home with the stuff and went through it all ended up finding a live Anti-Tank round. My dad ended up handing that Anti-Tank round over to the local police. I was not there when he handed it over I wonder what was going through the policer's mind when my dad handed it over.

Hi! If you are still interested in Arma Reforger, the new Arma RF Solncepek server has recently launched. Currently, mods for a variety of weapons and equipment are installed, and its own unique map is used. The server needs to be online for testing and adjusting the balance of the parties. We are still discussing which warring parties will be either the Russian Federation against NATO or the Russian Federation against Ukraine. We will be glad to see you on our server!
That faint fortunate son when you get close to the other chopper is the cherry ontop
we're on the wrong copper lol
This. I was just about to say that the brief audio of Fortunate Son is what made this chef's kiss.
Wrong Sir! The correct song is "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" by Hendrix.
@@oldmanfunky4909 i hope youre joking
😮
That look back right when the guy started sneezing was absolute gold
Needs a celery cracking sound effect
Corona
He hit the free look button so he wouldn't crash when he sneezed
@@dylanrenfrew9551 hahah funny worrrd
he looked back as if my guy had the corona
The fact you spun around when somebody sneezed had me rolling x'D
I think he himself sneezed and thats why he threw his mouse across the pad 😅
@@DrBonesFolo ah geez! I hate when I have to sneeze while driving, I would of spiraled over the trees for sure 🙃🤣
@@DrBonesFolo hes using trackir im p sure.
@@HD2OTR * would have.
@@DrBonesFolo No, man! He's using trackIR to look around and he looked away when HE (the, pilot!) sneezed to not spread droplets all over his monitor!
The sheer silence on that helicopter is so eerie, I have never been in one and not have my ears blasted by people telling me the stories of how they died.
Were all either dead silent, dead, making jokes, getting shot at, or insulting each other until near the point of tking upon landing
I showed this to my father, vietnam vet was a crewchief/doorgunner in a B model, he was like mmm nice.
Are you sure your dad isn't SteveMRE??

His skids looked like they were sliding along the ground at points. lol
I was gonna recommend some wheels for that helicopter.
They are known as skid for that very reason
wow, almost like they were skidding
@@_cyantist Not usually done at full speed.
@@TacShooter i thought you were referring to them landing with too much forward speed sorry
This just popped up on my feed. Great flying. Reminds me of my days flying in the Army, low, fast, fucking awesome.
Yes. totaly reminded me of my MED/CAS-EVAC times...
You just pooped on your feet? Gross! 😬
@@Splidtter @lawrencepuckett2179 Thank you both for your service God bless you and yours.
Col. Hal Moore: why do they call you snake shit?
Maj. Bruce Crandall: because I fly as low as snake shit sir.
We Were Snake Shits
The timing of that guy sneezing and you looking back makes it seem like you were jumpscared by it
Does he have tobi eye tracker he sneezed and looked away from the monitor to not sneeze on it?
i sure as fudge got a fright lol.
That thumbnail is beautiful, it looks so realistic! Imagine if people start modding the graphics
If? you underestimate the modding community, the real question in when
Sadly the graphics engine if FAR OUTDATED. Can you imagine this with Unreal Engine!? DAMN! That would sell fast.

Aw

You roll almost 90. Hope everyone and everything is strapped in.
Centrifugal force keeps you in....
There's something so satisfying about transporting the troops in Arma games.
Always a pleasure to see good pilots in games. Haven't seen good piloting like this since Rising Storm 2.
That some good flying there, mate.🫡
A good pilot is worth his weight in gold
Arma helicopter videos are always cool, loved to leave dyslexcy videos just running aside or fall asleep to. :D
Long time since i played and have flown.
i just crapped
when u turned around at the dude sneezing. gave "stfu im recording" look energy
When I see 2 or more helicopters flying low like that, Fortunate Son automatically starts playing in my head.
SOME FOLKS ARE BORN MADE TO WAVE THE FLAG
We got John Kerry in the back mowing down villagers. 😅
Skilled pilots were so crucial in Rising Storm 2
Man, VNTE Resort was completely unplayable without good pilots
Holy christ you guys are super at flying those choppers! I get motion sickness just from watching this :D Sleek flying
I miss the large maps and need for transports in modern games, my favorite was Joint Operations, where pilots got score for how well passengers did for a while after leaving the helicopter. And how you could transport tanks on ferries, or jeeps in the larger helicopters, or had to sit on the bed of lorries for several minutes, or racing rubber rafts up rivers...
Yeah that was the best Novalogic game! Still have it for single player..It was simple enough that even my kids would play it too!
until you master the classic arma1&2 mini bird landing flip. one cannot truly be skilled.
You see how some effective teammates can change the complete atmosphere and experience for the whole server.
Trees: start speaking Vietnamese
Sky: start singing Fortunate Son
Good thing everyone in the back is ductaped in with those leans.
"She's built like a steakhouse, but she handles like a bistro!"
Turning for the Sneeze! Cracked me up!
Was hoping they were going to put in real helicopter physics in Reforger, but same old ARMA arcade flying.
Got a hankering for that delicious vortex ring state?
that one pilot with 60 hours flying like this to land straight in death:
If I played Arma, I think I would work very hard at being a skilled Heli or Cargo pilot as I have done in other games. These things are often overlooked yet valuable contributions to game play and as an older man I tend to gravitate towards contributing at a fundamental level.
"When you meet someone who invests many many hours in a video game" Proper title
Starts engine, queues "Fortunate Son" and gets in the zone.
Takes me back to the days of flying in project reality
Wathcing someone follow another helo like that is like watching someone get flagged with a gun lol
0:24 ayo wtf 😂
amazing flying.
This is making me want to boot up the game and join in that kind of combat transport flying once more.
Slick flying you devils! Loved it.
When you see this and it still makes you want to load up good old Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis.
nothing better then a top pilot, classy
Sneezed so hard his neck went backwards
When he flies nap of the Earth, she had better be shaved.
As a no longer enlisted army helicopter mechanic. This was NICE.
A second before the guy sneezes, I sneeze irl. XD
Good to know I'm not the only reckless pilot haha. I fly exactly like this too, but it makes it all the more entertaining to do so.
Looked like my boy Tubs flying the front one.
Could watch this for hours man
"Woods, you look like hammered shit!" -Mason.
Getting a great pilot in Arma Reforger is always appreciated.
I was not expecting so many people to get it out of those helicopters😂😭
Fast roping and hoisting would be cool additions
Well long, tall Sally, she's built for speed, she got Everything that Uncle John need
Oh baby, yeah, baby, whoo-ooh, hoo-ooh, baby

Never thought about that you need to watch out for landmines while flying a chopper

ngl they have the water reflections spot on
Without freebird its not even going that fast
I do the same when playing DMZ with my friends, I love piloting the heli
Looks about right. Hundreds of Huey pilots were exactly that Crazy over in Germany back in the day.
I wish we had video footage of that, would really show the capability these things have in the real world.
I used to fly a mean chopper in a past life. Even died to antitank mines once.
Damn i would feel great in either of those two choppers
cool map, haven't played 'nam yet. Looks great except for some of the weird roads. Nice flying as always.
0:38 to 0:58
All those years playing Ace combat and hearing
"PULL UP, PULL UP, PULL UP."
I want to see when a skilled pilot meets a skilled soldier with a rocket launcher
Bros would be cooked if ARMA actually modeled mast bumping
Do this in Digital Combat Simulator ... crash your chopper after 500 feet LOL
try it in a train sim, its shit
just did this in NFS most wanted, crashed my chopper after 300 feet LOL
"How come you guys all sit on your helmets?"
That’s exactly how I use to fly in Coast guard and then they court martialed me
Those are the biggest trees I've ever seen.
Skilled is a very vague word. With only a Lil bit more than 4,500 hours, I'm a bit disappointed. But it's very nice for 500-1000 hours
You will get there my buddy. ❤
The uh2 in reforger is so forgiveble. Just do a flap turnaround and land😂. It's not arma 3 with hardcore flight physics turned on 😂
you know if helicopters weren't constantly trying to disassemble themselves I feel like they'd be very enjoyable to ride in
Reminds me of the good old days of OFP and Arma when I used to mod a lot.
They fly like they make pair drifting, but in the sky
0:25 marine was like "ok this was not what i signed for"

Hes a smooth operator . . . Smooooooth operaaator
Any clips of successful autorotate emergency landings? I haven't seen any in reforger.
