    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.

      I mean, that's how Apache doctrine is like. It's either all hellfires or all hydras and they fly in a 2 ship with one with hydras for short range and one with Hellfires for long range. One distracts while the other shoots. It's incredibly rare nowadays for one to mount both, except in maybe training sorties

    GROWLING SIDEWINDER, I love your videos brother! I like the fact that you explain things like your movements and the weapons used. Also, the fact that when you use a specific weapon you launch it and move, then you show the actual launch, view of the missiles or chain guns and destruction from that weapon! Then you move on to the next target. I have to say that I love the jets, tanks and other weapon systems out there but the helicopters are my favorites! Could you please do a video on the AH-1 VIPER COBRA GUNSHIP THAT THEY CURRENTLY USE ALSO?! Or do they not have those in DCS at the moment? A video on the AC-130 Gunships would also rock! Destruction from 30,000 feet in the air that they NEVER see coming! ❤🎉😊🇺🇲💪🎇🎆🎯

It's been quit the experience, but I noticed I get sick whenever I bank the aircraft around. Was wondering if I should try the apache when my a10 trial ends? Hopefully I won't get so sick learning to fly helo's compared to jets.

    @Mad2Wlad 6 місяців тому

    Is there an option for a hellfire to send it in a straight trajectory and not in a climbing one ? I guess climbing is good if you are behind the cover shoot 6 missiles and then only to come up after some time to lase the targets. And for sure tanks do have less armour on the top but I think there should be an option for near target attack to shoot the hellfire without climbing.

      All AH-64's are Apache's, but not every Apache has the Radar Dome. The dome itself is the AN/APG-78 Longbow radar, which is where the "Apache Longbow" or "Longbow Apache" name comes from.
      The way I think of it is Apache + Longbow
