AH-1 Cobra / War Thunder

- The Korean war marked the first time when helicopters were employed en masse. These vehicles, which were a pretty rare sight before, proved to be an invaluable asset when it came to reconnaissance, troop deployment and evacuation of the wounded. The clear advantages of this type of aircraft, and especially their ability to dodge concentrated fire, quickly caught the interest of the military who applied considerable funds and resources to develop new models.

#WarThunder - Ігри
Fun Fact: Pakistani AH-1F and AH-1S are modified to carry the Bhaktar Shikan/HJ-8 ATGM (With C-NITE Thermals) and were extensively used in United Nations Peacekeeping Operations in African missions like Somalia, Sierra Leone etc. And also against militants on the Afghan border. Pakistan has used the Cobra more than the Japanese TBH, it deserved to be mentioned in this video.
they mentioned the Japanese cobra because they had to sell the premium lol
it wouldn't be far fetched to say that this whole video was a advertisement for the AH-1S Kisarzu
even iran received some AH-1 js before the revolution and did some upgrades of their own
@@Biznatski it was just a side note from them to us, a quick reminder to buy that vehicle, but the video was interesting tho XD
Maybe Pakistan ah1 doesn't have good premium skins for cobra.
Or it is simply because there is no Pakistan tech tree and there is a Japanese tech tree?
Love the Cobras. No other Helicopters like them. Their Slim design gives them so much more survivability than other Helicopters.
Also, please consider adding the early twin engine Hueys and Cobras ♥️
sea cobras are ungodly hot. Imagine an Iranian domestic production Twin Cobras as a premium
Hey there Bruce, love your videos.
Yeah having stuff like the ah-1w super cobra would be nice, although it physically looks very similar to the viper
all facts
Eyyy look it's the terror of ground units
Still waiting for the well documented and passed Minigun + 40mm GL combo
And a decent cockpit and gunsight.
It was once an option for the AH-1G, don't know why they removed it.
@@randomguyingasmask prob bcs "balance". if it was soviet they wouldt remove
@@randomguyingasmask I did not notice the had changed it. Historically most Cobras flew with the mini gun and chunker combo.
gaijin please!!!
The reason probably is gunner focus. The drop of the 40mm grenades is far shorter than the minigun, and the aiming reticle only works for the minigun. So if you had the stream of bullets flying and a smoke line falling behind the stream, you'd miss the grenades...
I love watching the gameplay of the vehicles in these videos. Makes them look significantly better than they are in game. You get instantly killed without doing anything 4/5 games
I would love them if the AH-1G didn't go against Ka50 and Ka52 in very single helicopter battle
I think they could carry Zuni rockets, and that might be a bit too much for under 10.7 br
Game is trash.
What? They are too high Br to fight each other
Love how the Huey is the progenitor but the Cobra is the starter helicopter in the US tree so you go from decent helicopter to an older worse helicopter, then that older helicopter with guided rockets.
Kinda ass backwards.
Whole game is backwards. Top tier Russian mbt T80bvm is from 2014, while they fight against american mbt from the 90s and 80s. Cant let russia slip under that 70%+ wr on top tier xaxaxaxaxa
The only thing that makes the huey better is its atgms otherwise the cobra is better in every way.
@@WerZocktGames don’t forget T-72B3 and T-80BVM also get Gen 2 or 3 thermals. While M1A2 uses Gen 1 thermal lol
because the Huey can carry ATGMs
there would be more people complaining if you progress from heli armed with ATGMs to heli armed only with unguided rockets
@@WerZocktGames well it's a good tank but honestly the fact that gimped western tanks from the 80-90's hold their own against a tank from 2014 kind of shows how much russia fell behind.
Top tier russia wins has more to do with the best early game premium heli and the best heli, with great ground strikers, the best light tank, and a ton of competitive mbt's. not to mention russia gets paired with germany quite a bit
Just here to say that I watched your video after a long time and I'm still in love with narration. The way you do it, no one else can.
My favourite cobra is the one that saved my section in Afghanistan with its cannon. Wonderful thing to hear, wonder and then see it fly overhead, with the enemy scattering.
Ever since I laid my eyes on the Viper in Battlefield 4, I knew it would be my all-time favourite attack helicopter. Imagine my reaction when I realized it was in the game! I don’t own a premium helicopter, but I still managed to research the ah-1f and I’m a third through with the ah-64a. As soon as I’m done, I’ll definitely research the ah-1z, it lacks a few features like irst, protection and the flexible turret isn’t as good against ground targets but it can carry 16 hellfires ( instead of the 8 with the first apache ) when carrying aim-9L’s and it has to be one of if not the fastest helicopter in the game. Even if it wasn’t good I would still want to be able to look at it and say I own it
Sorry to disappoint you but the Viper ain't really that good. Gaijin have made it quite sluggish, you'll be struggling to reach even 300 km/h and most I've managed to get it to was 330 on an empty load, which is nowhere near the 412 km/h from statcard. Mi-28s and Ka-50s can easily reach over their statcard speed. They're faster and have better acceleration than the Viper and that's fully loaded. Even Apaches have better speed and acceleration,
Too bad it's so heavily nerfed from it's real life state and hellfires are really bad. They're only really good on open maps with no cover & trees and still atakas and vikhirs are way better.
Btw all Apaches can carry 16 hellfires.
@@Under_Tone I'm saying the ah-64a can only carry 8 hellfires when you want the aim-8L's, and yeah I know the viper isn't as fast but it's still incredibly fast in arcade, so good for heli ec and pve
@@maplearrow1842 I have had the AH-1Z since it was added and i still prefer the aesthetic over my longbow apache. Its still very viable even now and much more capable against aircraft
@@GetBlitzedFSND Even the ah-64A is better than the D just because it can carry aim-9L’s. Also I wonder when they’ll add longbow hellfires, because the helicopter was literally named after them and the radar
@@maplearrow1842 I prefer the Ah-64D for the AMASE system and later gen hellfires with better target tracking and predictive lead
My favorite Cobra is the AH-1W. I would love to see it in war thunder one day in war thunder. Also, I would like to see the AH-1S and AH-1J in the us tree as well.
I love the helicopters I just wish they had a variable BR depending on what mods you take into battle.
The AH-1W is probably my favorite variant of the AH-1 family
Amazing video! Really nice and interesting! This is a legend 🙌 👏 ❤️
Please add the Heli PvE test mode but also add one as RB and Simulator. That would be great.
@jackie exactly how it sounds?
simulator? lol. Who's going to play it? You and your two friends? lmao
Heli PvE needs better rewards
@@SkywalkerWroc Are you under the impression that people don't play simulator?
@jackie I don't see what the problem is with Realistic PvE, considering it just changes the flight physics.
My favorite helicopter is the Kamov ka-50. The elegant Black shark
I am an old guy that got to fly AH-1Gs for real.
Very good
come on Gaijin give the AH1Z better hellfires like the AGM114K-2,3, or AGM114M or N
which it actually carried and not the AGM114B, which is carried by the AH1W
engines feel weak and Viper feels too heavy
These missiles arent even in the game mate… If they were and werent added to this heli, it would be understandable. But now? No
@@jan_direction8146 The AGM114K-2 is in game
@@jan_direction8146 Gaijin should have added the Whiskey Cobras first before the Viper.
Buff the US? Nah have a nerf to the jumbo and super perching again
My grandpa was a mechanic on hueys during desert storm but he seems to have a sweet spot for the cobra/viper. He even had a poster of the cobra/viper on the wall before they moved (I dont remember which it was its been a couple years and I wasn't into military aviation).
Will you guys do more Thunder Stories, like Don’t be in a Hurri
where are u old man ?!
war thunders videos are nothing now adays without you ... 😢😢😢
Oh and we need high drag bombs for our jets… also, thanks for the Marauder. Been asking for it for years. Y’all didn’t get a lot right with it, but at least it’s there.
My favourite is the AH-1G
I like the AH-1G
I've always dreamed to fly one of the Cobras in the Phillippine Air Force, they also have some UH-1's (But i think they're used as Medevacs instead of Combat) and they're all cool for me. As long as the PAF has some helicopters, I will dream to fly them once I am in the PAF.
The donated AH-1S will be relegated to training role once they achieve the desired number of T129B Ataks.
Super cobra and model z
I like the Whiskey Cobra best.
I wanted to buy yah-64 but when i heared that squadron vehicles don't have sale so i was dissapointed, why they don't have sale when they don't have premium characteristics like high % of earning sl + rp and being able to search from tier 1 to tier +1 of its tier?
Maybe add AH-1W in USA tech tree it will more fun for me personally I think it's more buitful then AH-1F I love that twin engine and twin exhaust pipe❤
If only I'd have another life to have time to grind to it
Awesome video, still love the look and shape of the Huey helicopter the best, I think it's the most iconic 👍 x
Bruce's mighty voice always makes our day better!
What about the underperformance of the Ah-1z's engines? It really only feels like it is using one engine instead of 2.
HELICOPTER, HELICOPTER!
wow
bussin
The AH-1G is my general go to when it comes to 8.0 CAS in Ground RB. Though when I use it most of the time its a gamble. Seeing that Germans and Soviets have some of the best autocannons at this BR I'm always cautious considering I can easily get shot out of the sky.
When it comes to load outs the AH-1 is the best starter but the way the Mighty Mouse rockets are they are very difficult to learn and get on target. Due to the angled mounts for the rocket pods the rocket sight in the HUD is practically useless as the real impact point is always going to be bellow the actual sight picture. You never hit close to where you want to hit usually with the rockets.
But the 40mm Grenade launcher is above all the best. Great penetration and good HE filler. It's a menace to any lightly armored vehicle. Not to mention tanks with roof armor on the thinner side. Though I just wish there could be more quality of life fixes for the AH-1G.
Overall the best starter heli.
I remember when I yelled "someone stop the Cobra! " In Rising Storm 2 since my team were keep slaughtered by it.. And the commander did nothing 🗿
Oorah for the Zulu Cobra
Yes even the philippines use the 1F to fight insurgency to thia date
AH-1Z Vipers fly near me all the time, as beautiful as they are I think the AH-1G looks much better
Cobra, sea cobra, super cobra were tired from 1967-2020?
Only AH-! Z Viper from 2020- still in service?
Awesome 😎 possum
How in the hell do you even aim those rockets? I have had hours upon hours in that thing and I still havent been able to nail down using the rocket sight correctly.
ROCA Cobras when?
Wut is machine gun in different bomber plane ww1 and ww2?
Ah-1z has all the bells and whistles ignoring ircm making it usually nice to use, but the hellfires can be difficult with their painfully long approach time. At lower br's its not an issue but at top tier with 8km+ sams, ka-50's and the such, the hellfire does feel outclassed. Hopefully either the hellfires will receive their option to guide directly to their targets or maybe the AH-1Z can get its radar jammer
Gaijin, i need my Legacy Music Back
attack the D point
Oorah
Tips on using unguided rockets on helis without CCIP/CCRP?
Fire single rockets and hold the button to see where they land when you think you are on target hold the rocket salvo button for insane rapid fire
monitor your collective. Don't keep it high when you are attempting to aim a bit level or in a dive. 60%-70% will suffice to get them at least a bit more straightened in their flight path
i love the kisarazu cause the TOWs are really good, but i wish we could have AA missiles to shoot down jets
i love the ah 1z
Theres apparently still an argument of people that think the UH-1 and AH-1 are THE SAME helicopter.
Most of their arguments are that theyre the same everything but frame…
Its like trying to say the Ka-50 and Ka-52 are the same.
this vid is teasing about AH-56 coming soon to war thunder
no please
US replacement Premium
Thank you for making these fantastic documentaries about these historical vehicles. Can you add some different camouflage for cobra?
I would love to have Iranian imperial one 🇮🇷
There are some in live war thunder I hope you bring it to the market soon
Please ad the m1a2 sep tusk abrams and the m829a4 apfsds into war thunder we haven't gotten a new abrams and I think it would be mean if you skipped over it and went strait to the m1a2 sep v3
and we still don't have the agm 114L and vikers dominate anything from tanks to helis to planes
Is this uncle baldy narrating these?
Funny how they don't tell you the pain and suffering of playing the first american helicopter : AH-1G in game
Engine sound is to calm. Can make sound more agressive? Exhaust fire for planes? Look how a Griffon start
can you add b-2 to usa?
2:44 even gaijin is having a hard time aiming the rockets of this thing. AH1G for some reason is not aligned with the I crosshair.
If it does not have CCIP, it will always show a static crosshair. If you have CCIP, it will instead show the predicted impact point
@@reedman0780 no the rockets are angled upwards making the sight rather useless
@@papakilo-2750 thats because the crosshair is always aimed through the front of the aircraft. It does not take into account the position of mounted weapons.
CCIP changes the sight from static to where it will land on, so if an imaginary ccip crosshair shows on 1G, it will show the impact point instead.
I enjoy the AH Cobra where Gaijin buffs the grind and makes it less of a pain
I just grinded the AH-1G yesterday bc of the history behind it, lol
plz add more ah1 cobras in the game i love them
ok
Alrighty
okie dokie
sure thing. tomorrow mornin'
@@qualitycontentchannel4443 thx
Don’t forget nam
Forgot to mention Iran
(Vietnam war flashbacks)
AH-1G with the rotary cannon is a fine anti-air.
So are rocket pods, to be fair.
can u guys add a feature where u can change aircraft loadouts when you land on the airfield for repairs or re-armaments? dat would be kul
you can if you j out if youre repaired and stationary on the airfield
@@shaunkaczmarek2187 oh, thats cool
@@shaunkaczmarek2187 No... not the last time I had tried...
@@jucaesar4961 You have to be fully repaired and refuelled - just to be sure you should do it when you;'ve been moved to the takeoff position
AAUUGHH 1 Cobra is one of the helicopter that I want to get.
GPFW!
0:35 the armoured car there could of definitely taken out the low flying heli but still good video
they learned from the Vietnam war it seems, interesting these history lessons are, thank you ;)
The AH-1F Viper is probably my favorite helicopter in the game
Me laughing at you in my ka-52
Hello Gaijin media guy!
here there isnt the insta guy, the narrator is a guy whose name i forgot
@@Betto_333 Bruce
@@lior_theboom yes, bruce
I wish war thunder actually add A rocket with minigun on a Huey 😐
War Thunder, have you ever thought of adding the AH-1Q? It’s a cobra with BGM-71 tow missiles.
Instead of the Q, it would be better to add the AH-1S( modifed). These were the Q’s that got upgraded engines. The Q’s got the ToW added but the found that the engines that were the same as the G model were not enough power so they created the Modifed S.
@@SKGunslinger AH-1S Tzefa for Israel better AH-1S (Modified) for japan exactly where carry spike NLOS
@@SuwatWatjinda I really hope they Add the AH-1S(mod) to the game. It could be added to the US and Israel. The Mod holds a special place in my heart as my Army Guard unit flew them and I got a chance on two occasions to fly in the front (gunners seat).
AH-1S are now in the hands of the Philippine Air Forces along side with T-129 ATAK Helicopters. I hope there is a new skin for the Philippine Air Force Set up.
When is the mixed turret gonna be added which was teased in the original trailer of a minigun and 40mm grenade launcher
bring back chat features!
my favorite cobra is the cobra maneuver
Does anyone notice how American helicopter cockpits have very little details in war thunder?
*secret information witheld by the government*
idk but its probably that
The airacobras and the king cobras(P-39 and P-63s)
*Fortunate Son intensifies*
its pronounced Ear-Ah-Coy
Iranian cobra
No fortunate son : 3/10
New us helicopter coming?
Also add the Chinese helicopter tree they need some sort of cas at top tier more then any nation (also Italy )
4:42 the weeb copter
would be nice if stick controls were to be fixed (cant guide turreted weapons in cockpit or third person views, so those such as on the ka-29 are effectively unusable)
@ War Thunder. Official channel. when a lower BR for IR sam AAs? pgz04 should be 8.7, sidam mistral 9.0, like the type 93. Those aa are short range aas designed specifically for slow targets such as choppers (most can outreach them since the lock occurs at less than 3km) and slow flying cas (does wonders on a10s). Meaning they are useless against even g91 if they are aware of the threat. They actually have low AT capabilities, and less range with the guns compared to 30/35mm spaag.
I liked Bell AH-1Z Viper most. Right after Boeing AH-64 Apache. When Boeing AH-64 Apache is coming in this game?
It's in game, pretty sure
Let's see.
There are multiple apaches in different tech trees
Ah-1Z because of Battlefield 4!
Same
Chat would be a nice addition
will my clip be shown next week?
nobody knows..
These things sre terrifyingly effective in Deadswitch 3, despite being a stock unlock.
Gaijin please add aircraft external lights such as navigational lights, taxi lights, landing lights, strobe lights, etc. That'll be a good addition to the game for people who wants to take cool footages
When I see Hueys and Cobras I can only think in one thing....
**Fortunate Son**
We also need the M48A3 and gunboats and the Charlie hunting season is up
