This is awesome. I actually did this as a job in the Navy. The dipping Sonar is called the ALFS or AQS 22. Shit breaks all the time. Absolute liability lol but effective. There are a few different types of sonobuoys including active and passive ones
@@JZagroHD I'm more interested in the performance of the buoys once deployed. I know they self scuttle but are they as effective as games like dangerous waters make them out to be? Or are they just piles of junk.
@@gamersunite7968 Sure! The scuttling can be set to different durations depending on how long someone is on station. I think the game over simplifies the entire situation. Once deployed, they enter the underwater "environment". Kind of like weather outside, depending on the conditions it will cause a great variation of performance. There is tons of pre-mission planning that goes into tracking submarines and is often reworked to some extent after getting on station. You plan for the worst and quite often you get some extent of it
@@JZagroHD1: Can a submarine resting on the sea floor be distinguished from background noise by active sonar? 2: How do you pronounce DICASS and how long does it take to get tired of the jokes? 3: Orion vs Seahawk, which is best? Disregarding that you can actually take the Seahawk with you on a ship.
I just showed this to my father who was a Sea King driver in the 80's. his squadrons were HS-2, HS-8, and HS-10. He about hit the ceiling every time you called this a Blackhawk. I'm trying to convince him he needs to try this simulator. Cool video!
hiya devil, sub guy here ! helis are always scary. And fun fact! Sonar bouys make a funky crunchy sound when they hit the water ^.^ thanks for the cool video !!
Tobsen on the OH6 mod has figured out how to make AI gunners work without SDK. He has said he is willing to let the UH60 guys in on his coding. So maybe AI door gunners on the MH-60 soon?
Looks like someone converted a Blackhawk variant to a MH-60R.. choppa looks awesome, but it's the wrong cockpit :-) ...Could be the old SH-60B cockpit.. I don't know, but the R has a lot of screens in it
Bro, I've never clicked a video so fast haha. I've been working on these the last 15 years. The cockpit is way off though and the back looks like an SH-60B
Reminds me of that show on TBS back in like 2000 called War Games where they featured the exercise the navy does for this. The Seahawks working with the S3. That would be cool in DCS.
Just a heads up. I've been subbed for longer than I can remember and just noticed YT isn't showing your videos in my sub feed. Not sure what's going on with it.
I had no idea this mod existed. This is awesome!
legendary combo
This would be a hellova collaboration
Please turn it into a series!

I can go into extreme depth on the capabilities of this aircraft/job if anyone has any questions

Hell yeah dude, what was your role in this operation?

nice father really cool ;D
Woah Marine!!!! That's a Seahawk.
I was just about to say, honestly you can make this into a drinking game; take a shot every time he calls it a Blackhawk
Sh60 not mh60....none the less it's still a bad ass
@@tufftrucker40 The older models were the SH-60. The two in service today are MH-60 Sierra and Romeo variants.
This is great. I just wish it was possible for ships to detect Submarines in DCS the same way.
Hi. Former UH-60B/L/R driver here. The 60R has a glass cockpit. This mixes 60B steam gauges with 60R displays in the back.
Real Red Storm Rising vibes here - honestly why I want to check this mod out.
Appreciate the look into it, seems like a real fun time!
Interesting. I'd love to see a P-3 or a P-8 get developed for this game.
The Mighty Orion!
Its a Seahawk ;)
I'm loving all the submarine content :)
hiya devil, sub guy here ! helis are always scary. And fun fact! Sonar bouys make a funky crunchy sound when they hit the water ^.^ thanks for the cool video !!
This seems like a lot of fun if you had 2 people in the same airframe, one flying and the other operating the sonar.
And you can do air refuel as well :)
In general, a ton of good mods have come out within the last 4-5 years.
Hehe.. "goodbye submarine.. BOOM......" .. "Allllright... let's get back to the boat" lol. Casual sub hunting is casual. Awesome vid. Thanks for that.
This is so freaking cool! Would be interesting to see how or even if the AI sub reacts to be pinged or fired upon.
Happy bday devil dawg 🎉 rah
I work on these bad boys, awesome to see this!!

Try the surface mission and lase the target ship using hellfires. Try the SAR mission too. You can mount a gun and strafe the bad guy ships.
Love this kinda content, glad to see your still dishing it out even tho what UA-cam has done to ya. Would love to see more maybe like cold waters
Bro, I've never clicked a video so fast haha. I've been working on these the last 15 years. The cockpit is way off though and the back looks like an SH-60B
You in Jacksonville, mayport, or SD? I used to work on Romeo’s in jax.
Yeah. Noticed that too. The cockpit looks more like a 60B that I flew than a 60R.
This is pretty much what my dad did at the end of the cold war in a P-3 Orion, looking for submarines with sonar buoy's. cool mod
Reminds me of that show on TBS back in like 2000 called War Games where they featured the exercise the navy does for this. The Seahawks working with the S3. That would be cool in DCS.
My brother flies the Romeo. He loves it!
Too bad the Sonar Operator's hearing loss is not service related :/
Is it modeled for the submarine to be able to hear surface noise like helos getting close to the deck to drop sonobuoys?
Shouldn't you go at an angle from your sonar buoys when you're dipping the sonar so that you can use parallax to get the distance/location?
Do not say Blackhawk the way say it 💀
You can do active pause to keep the heli in place
Great video. Subbed...👍
This was outstanding.
I was thinking about getting this is it worth it for like solo players.
this is awesome i never knew the blackhawk mod had this variant
I would love an official H60 module. But I want the Mike model to unclude MH-60W and HH-60M versions.
Can this be downloaded through DCS steam edition?
Does this mod have multicrew capability?
cool game play outside of the usual a/g a/a
Asuh dudes
the cockpit is not clickable with my version .. i have downloaded 3.6 version
I'm waiting for an SH2-SeaSprite 🤞
DCS needs to merge with Cold Waters.
aww.. At first, I thought you were hunting subs on War Thunder... Still great content, Devil!
Thank you for Tanuki44 for this amazing submod.
Just a heads up. I've been subbed for longer than I can remember and just noticed YT isn't showing your videos in my sub feed. Not sure what's going on with it.
Make sure you hit the bell next to the sub button and turn on all notifications :)
Should try the SH60B mod
More DCS brother!
"Seahawk"
That's a SeaHawk, not a Blackhawk!
If only it was that easy to kill a sub lol
MH-60R is a SEAhawk.
Seahawk.
That mod has oversimplified of sonar detection...
not really, seems pretty good
Seahawk. not Blackhawk xD
If you were a real devil dog you’d know the difference between a Blackhawk and a Seahawk… guess which one is navy and with one is army???
It's a seahawk, not a blackhawk
jump into the black what
These are F/H not Rs
And all this stuff is free!
SH-60. Not MH-60.
1k like get1!1!!
he is cheating
Mod looks horrible, i’m sorry
The ASW Blackhawk is officially called a Seahawk
