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.

Loving the Apache content, I can't decide which ground and pound I like more, AH64 or A10. great mission. An Apache sneak and peak mission heavily gaurded by SAMs. Mission is to take out early warning radar and bomber group. Wooded hills runway. Thanks!!
we need more gripen and viggen content!!!!!!!!
Sadly, lost an Apache today in training. 46 year old retired pilot (instructor) as well.
May he rest in peace 😢
The one at Rucker yesterday?
Was my stick buddy. Great dude! We lost a good one.
That’s horrible, i hope his family is doing well ❤
I'm so sorry to hear that mate. Hes in a better place now, I hope you can move on fast and pursue your career.
As a mechanic and crewchief of an AH-64 E this is so accurate to the real thing I’ve also seen pilots shoot worse your accuracy is pretty good imo
Every gun is different. Some were tack drivers, some were completely off. That's why we test fired a burst into a field after leaving the fob - you never knew which type of gun you had.
@@FTC_Yoguurt True military grade tech there. It's either the best thing you've got (must've had it for 13 seconds), or it's barely working (e4s have been "repairing" it for the last 20+ years)
Now that is one hell of a good compliment😆🤣
@@alexanderhamilton4258 Ha! ain't that the truth!
I work on your valves, and just down the hallway we work on your starters and apu's
To anyone complaining about GS’s aim with the Apache gun: i invite you to look at longshot with the various rapid fire miniguns lol. Suppression is important
Again thank you for putting the mission up for download. I'm going to use this to try to get back into the AH-64
My pleasure hope you enjoy.
Man, Hellfire missiles are neat. They're so small, yet their effect on target is quite epic.
They’re not that small. 88lb warhead IIRC, but it’s been a few years.
@@iantarasevitsch3325 Its the smallest PGM in the US Arsenal for fixed or rotary winged missile munitions.
@@tyvernoverlord5363The AGR-20 Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System (APKWS) is a design conversion of Hydra 70 unguided rockets with a laser guidance kit to turn them into precision-guided munitions (PGMs). APKWS is approximately one-third the cost and one-third the weight of the current inventory of laser-guided weapons.
Hellfire weighs 45kg+, APKWS is 15kg, much smaller. Was tested on Apache in 2013, fielded on Apache in theater in 2015.
Just an FYI, you have to yell "Get some" when firing any kind of airborne automatic weapons .
Yup, thems the rules
Anyone who runs is VC. Anyone who stands still is well-disciplined VC.
Absolutely!!
And you have to maniacally laugh every 3-5 seconds in between target groupings
And I thought the A-10 was personal and up close, absolutely loved every second of this!!
A-10 fans when I introduce them to the bell ah-1z cobra
"George, you see that Hilux over there?"
"Yeah."
"I don't want to anymore."
Hopefully they make the Vietnam Era AH-1 Cobra, CAS mission with that would be fun to watch. Or you could try using the A4 or F4 for CAS.
The AH-1 nose pods with 20 or 40mm launchers with machineguns are pretty cool too
The whole time GS was shooting the gun I couldn't help but think 'where are the 2.75 in rockets'?
I had a roomate who served in Afghanistan, and he has seen the Apache in action. He described as the most horrifying bringer of doom imaginable.
I mean, it got most taliban to just give up; and the Iraqis and the Republican Guard didn't want the smoke and would routinely give up and surrender en mass to flights of Apaches.
I love the sound of the Strella getting ready to fire a missile.
Very cool!
POV from 30mm is so cool.
Man I love your videos. I wish I could get into DCS as much as you and your pals. Thanks for the content.
Reminds me of one of my favorite games as a kid, which was Jane's Combat Simulator Apache Longbow.
anyone else remember Nicholas Cage in the movie "Firebirds" yelling "I am the greatest!" in the Apache simulator?
Yup
Yes. It was Top Gun but with helicopters.
@@shawnfoley826 It was the Army's "attempt" at Top Gun. Failed miserably.
You want a piece of strawberry gum?
You sure? It's delicious.
I am your mother now Calvin
insane how they even modeled the bullets too💀💀
you can find the bullet model by looking on the the left bottom dash corner (look at bottom of the left pillar nearest to pilot to find it. it kinda looks like mig21 flying by) at code 8:49 and advance or reverse the frames with comma and semicolon keys to find it.
Even back in Desert Storm with the -A models they were a serious threat. The -D models came out right after the war and were many times more effective, and have been since. There isn;t anything better for delivering Army warheads on foreheads.
I love those air support videos, specially with the Apache and A-10
Two F16 shootdowns might make the material losses closer to equal, despite the extremely lopsided personnel losses
True.
No way. Don't compare dollar for dollar, compare relative dollar for dollar. Uncle Sam has plenty of F-16's.
When u were shooting the running infantrymen it reminded me the Nisour Square lmao
The rounds the Apache fires are also explosive rounds if I'm not mistaken. They don't have to hit a target directly. If you're a soft tissue living being the shrapnel will do some damage.
4m burst radius on the 30mm. Individual infantry can and do survive those bursts - it’s all luck of the draw. It’s an area suppression weapon system.
Inspiring as allways.
On top I get to download the same mission.
It's just great!
Thx a bunch!
I love this video. The Apache is a killer. Great job.
Such a great weapons platform. Prob my next module.
It's amazing something the size of the Apache is able to carry 1200 rounds of 30mm ammo.
And carry enough ballistic protection to comfortably shrug off most small arms fire and light glances from AA cannons.
@@tyvernoverlord5363 If the Apache had ballistic protection to comfortably shrug off small arms, it wouldn't be able to get off the ground. Go see one at an airshow. You can punch a screwdriver through just about any part of it.
@@FTC_Yoguurt Kevlar and light armor. It does in fact possess this. The parts that you can “drive a screwdriver” are obviously not deemed necessary to armor. And it’s not throughout the airframe.
It’s not flying around with lvl IV equivalent plates all around. The only really solid hard armor is the armored glass and titanium tubs that the pilot and gunner’s seat sit in.
Please be knowledgeable before spouting stuff off.
F/A-18E/F vs F-35C (Fox-2 fight) would be epic to see! Navy vs Navy : Old vs New
Day 85
Indeed it would
They need the flechette rockets. Great for area ground targets.
You needed to take a closer look the enemy only attacked the port-a-podies, the troops are not happy. On a side note the MRE storage facility did get destroyed so moral did improve.
More missions where GS is protecting my freedom.
'Hover and kill everything'. Good slogan for an Apache t shirt.
"Get some! Get some!"
To be more precise, that is an Apache Longbow. Instead of a laser mounted sight it uses radar, clouds and smoke doesn't block its view. It's the bulb on top of the blades. AH-64D
All D models are known as LBs. he is in fact using the laser to enable a TADS RFHO w/L model missiles.
@@WoodyAH64 Its got the radar on top of the blades? Looks like he's using the laser first to select the target and then letting the radar take over after firing? I think?
@@denkeylee Laser/Radar TADS targeted laser guided Hellfires it looks like. Radar hellfires have a solid nose cone, not sure what the weaps page and firing procedures are for them, I've only dealt with the laser guided variants.
What an incredible machine.
Nothing like a autocannon that shoots 30mm HE 'grenades'... That's some pretty tight footage.
Dude the gun sounds so good. 🤌
Video Idea: Ka-50 vs Apache above Syria all arms free direct confrontation.
Also: I-16 vs F-22 or Su-57 (This is 93d attempt to get that to your attention)
Let’s go new Apache video. I was craving a new one :DD
The gun on this bird goes on pounding it doesn't even jam due to overheating.
Amazing!
You should do helicopter dogfights like that terrible Nicholas Cage movie Fire Birds
I am pretty sure the Ka-52 holds claim of the most enemy AFV kills in the world now.
You busted the gun duty cycle on that gun.
Apache vs Frogfoot!
Me, sitting here cackling with glee, listening to the sound of the gun.
I’ve been waiting for an Apache video.
Feels so good to watch your videos again after six months
Ever thought about making a video in the F-35 doing what it was designed for?
No f35 in dcs
Crashing and costing billions?
No good F35 in DCS*
@@Blackjack701AD what are you talking about? The f-35 has one of the lowest crash rates per flight hour of any aircraft in the US arsenal. You only think it crashes a lot because a 50 year old f-16 crashing is barely news, but an f-35 crashing definitely is.
@@corok12I know people are so ignorant it’s crazy.
The external view sounds of those inbound missiles just before impact tho, awesome...
Finally got a pc today, finally got dcs and waiting for my hotas to come next week so I’m using a controller mouse and keyboard lol pretty clunky but I’m having so much fun
thats exactly how I started, enjoy every minute of it.
Hellfire missiles are vicious little buggers, especially against those lighter (well, lighter than tank) vehicles
Hell, I'm still neck deep into the Jane's F-16 Falcon manual after 20 years....
US apache fires a much tighter grouping compared to the UK version. UK apache deliberately spreads the rounds as they're basically grenades so they aim to separate each round by 5-10 meters per burst.
The next video you should try was the Cobra Attack Helicopter.
the chain gun never gets old
The Apache skin in this video, tail number 596, is now assigned to 1-10 AB, and is currently in Iraq. I actually flew 596 probably about a week ago. She’s got over 8000 hours on her now and is kinda becoming a piece of shit lmao
When shooting with the Apache, by lowering your altitude you will increase the hit probability dramatically, due to decreasing the angle of engage(this is a made-up name, but you get the principal).
To avoid retaliation, you can increase your distance, longitude-wise.
That's a DSC right there.
I’ve avoided DCS as I just don’t think I’ll be able to fly a plane, but seeing this video makes be want to get it for the Apache. I’ve been gaming for decades, but would I be in a world of struggle if I jump straight into getting this DLC?
Helicopters are more difficult to fly than fixed wing aircraft.
The main thing with helicopters is needing some form of anti-torque controls. If you can get a stick that has a Z axis or rudder pedals, then you should be set. There are people who play with controllers though, and I don't understand how they can do it.
You are motivated enough. All you need is to start and see how it goes. DCS also offers a trial system where you can try out every aircraft free for two weeks each so that you could try the Apache first and after the 2 weeks something else
Finally! Another apache vid, this is what I have been waiting for…
Sad a couple friendlies had to die, but great clean up op and good job!
love the stuff, would love a stealth or behind enemy lines pop -up sort of attack mission
That would have been a lovely gun run for the A10
"They were there." -GS 2024
Sadly, the Chain Gun didn't seem to be very effective against the Troops. One would think there'd be a bit of Splash Damage if the round landed within a few feet of you (them) ?
Rockets would be very effective against them though. 😁
The Apache longbow is the world's most "badass Copter" in the world.
I prefer the more badass Guardian (AH-64 E) 😂
@@dreaminknightWhat is different about the Guardian?
@@pike100 Apache Longbow, formerly known as AH-64D Block III, in 2012, it was redesignated as AH-64E Guardian to represent its increased capabilities AND MARITIME OPERATIONS.
@@kencross25 Thank you
Multi Million dollar attack chopper that can be downed by a $1000 FPV armed with a standoff shaped charge. Battlefield of the future.
Change of pace I see. 😛
Cool! Do this in the kursk attack
In an actual engagement, would the Apache priority be to find and render assistance to the downed F16 pilots?
I blame half my tinnitus on the apache. That nose gun is fucking loud when ur on the ground
Very cool video l have always liked the Apache helicopter it's a great weapon to use and have.
The AH-64's time in combat area is so effective, I wonder whats more effective Ah-64 or The A-10's time
do a ww2 bomber escort!!!
Thats a great idea, never thought of it. Hope he does it
@@ModifiedType-Kiryu yeah, ive been asking for a while but still no video :) hope he does!
Rest you guys notice when the arty started dropping the gomers did a "nope" and turned around?
I never noticed DCS npc infantry actually trying to avoid fire.
More such video please , kind of war scenario opponents with tanks helo and Sam system at back of the tank and same in your side also.
2.75 frag rockets would’ve been good on dispersed infantry
Next time run your FCR from the backseat and tag and bag the armor yourself.
America! The targets are always worth less than the ordnance that destroys them.
My only wish is that you combine DCS with something like Arma
Great content! Always enjoyable. I was wondering if you would ever or if it's possible to do a video using the Bell AH-1Z Viper? If you have made a video flying that machine I don't recall.
The best sounding guns has to be the Apache and the Warthog.
Area spread mg's have allways been effective. The GPMG M60 was/is a prime example. Mag 58 GPMG as well. The bren gun was dead accurate but a prime example of being too accurate. In theory it could fire one round after the other through the same bullet hole. Never happened of course but it required more effort to spread rounds.
With the Apache's 30mm, it's more so that its rounds are HE rounds.
The apache looks 100x better from the outside than the inside. Whenever I see the outside footage I think ''yeah, I'm gonna hop in the AH64 too now", but after 10 min flying it... it just hits different
Christopher Ridge
Pucker factor 5 when you nearly hit that tower
it would be more fun and challenging that enemy has ka-52 tho
Needs more Longshot.
Lollll that sucks for those guys in the open field lol
Didn't have free-flight rockets to shoot that infantry?
Correct did not have any.
Spray and pray? Nah, accuracy by volume.
Until the Apache comes up against a First World Military , I will hold judgement that it's the most feared Helicopter ever made.
“Shoot the treeline!”

Meanwhile, in THIS reality...
Ahahah ya there is a universe out there were the video ended right there.
under 30 mins gang
16 hellfires..
Can you do a reenactment of the Battle of Khasham, or the Battle of Conoco Fields where US special forces and other assets, Obliterated Syrian and Russian forces.
Maryjane Springs
Al Tanf...as in ATG Syria? If so I was there in 2021.
ME 262 in Korean War fighting everyone.
Great idea!
@@pike100 thank you, I’ve been suggesting it for a long time but it just hasn’t caught his attention yet.
