So you see, the picture on the AH-1S Kisarazu is actually an anime style version of the actual pilot. That helicopter exists irl (or at least used to, idk how it is nowadays) and was part of a exhibition as they are not using the AH-1S anymore as far as I am aware.
absolute banger of an art on the heli tho NGL
@@Bob_DickinsonThe Kisarazu squadron consists of a bunch of different helicopters and all of them have highly stylised liveries with anime versions of their pilots painted on.
They're mostly just a PR squadron that goes to military exhibitions and events but yeah, it's a real paintjob.
Gaijin also accidentally handed out a red-ish skin for the AH-1S Kisarazu that was meant to be DMM exclusive (the Japanese client) and they quickly took it away again, but I still have a couple of screenshots from the 2 days I got to fly with it.
These videos are so high quality, best channel to get helicopter reviews
thank you so much man!!!
Apart from the 16fps low quality game play
@@russell33313that doesn’t really change the content which is great
@@russell33313 that doesn’t matter
to me it does, thats why i gave feedback@@superliogaming
The Cobras are so gorgeous, I love how sleek they look compared to the Apache, plus aim9ms on the end of the line cobra are so nice
oh yea the Cobras specially the ones with the E or F cockpit are incredible regarding the way they look
On the early cobras don’t discount the effectiveness of the 40mm grenade launcher. At close range against soft targets, you can ruin their day.
oh ofcourse, the grenade launchers are violent, its just that sadly, i really dont use them as i mainly use the Rockets... :(
@@Bob_Dickinsoni personally use them when i fly pass the SPAA i was trying to shoot and was turning my nose back them, i can shoot SPAA with 40mm grenade before i got my XM195 on him(XM195 is my main wrapon against SPAA because i suck with rockets)
Bro my first video love it im so happy i found someone that actually reviews vechiles in depth
Glad you like them man! Welcome to the channel! ❤❤
A reminder for all Japan mains that you can switch to give the RP from your ground units to helis, so you don't have to grind using the Huey (I still spaded it and became quite decent at it). The option is located at the bottom right of the heli and ground tech tree tabs.
Damn, didn't know that the 9.0 Tzefa B gets the low tier PvE lobbies, good to know. Thanks Bob!
I really do like the AH-1Z Viper just so fearsome and seasoned warrior of the Cobra family from decades of experience, I always imagined of US marines requesting gunship support and seeing this deadly little guy lighting up the enemies and saving the day.
I also just admire such a small helicopter packing so much classic American fighting fury it’s truly beautiful aircraft but deserves respect in it’s own right.
Great video as always enjoyed it a tons!
oh yea its an absolutely incredible helicopter, hopefully gaijin will give it its proper armaments thanks alot man!
I've been waiting for so long on this one. I'll enjoy every minute of this

P.S., how's the discord server going?
thank you so much mah man! im glad that you enjoyed it!
the discord server is goin pretty well,, despite having some problems with premissions n bots n shet, its goin fine, even tho i have to work on some videos first untill the Blackhawk video comes out.
great video and great job Bob!!!
You rock man! im glad that you enjoyed it! o7
This is a lot of production effort for such a subscriber count, I made sure to bump that number up
thank you so much man! i really appreciate it! o7, thank you for the sub!
yoooo new vid, glad to see it!
Thank you so much man! i really appreciate it!
Superb video Bob!
Many thanks!
Very in-depth,, and I love it
Glad u liked it man!
Best WT gehicle review i have seen by far... been watching for 5min
thanks mate! glad you enjoyed it o7
thank you for another great video! Any plans on doing the G-Lynx / Bri'ish helis? Keep up the great work!!!
Thank you so much man! I appreciate it! Eventually i will make a video on those. But i have to work with the british heli tree first!
Bro has enough passion to make good production value videos while playing a powerpoint presentation. Good on you man, earned my sub.
absolutely loved your analogy there man xDDDD. but yea sadly i want to improve the GPU... i cant cuz of the trash economy of the country i live in
@@Bob_Dickinson well damn, but from the looks of it like you're running on your CPUs integrated graphics card. Are you sure you can't grab a second hand 1050ti somewhere? That should be "dirt cheap" and a huge step up. I ran into a similar issue way way back in the day and it turns out I was just plugged in the wrong HDMI port, instead of the GPU output I went in the motherboard.
@@TheJayjam oh nah mate i use a GT 710 To run the game. And we have 30000% iflation rate in my country iran... ive been trying to get it for 6 years now, i really wish it was that easy to get a GPU...
perfect mix of educational, entertaining, and comedic content. thanks bob dickinson, i enjoyed this video.
Thanks mate! I am glad that you have enjoyed it!
Best vehicle reviews on wt vehicle ngl🔥
thanks alot man! im glad that you enjoyed my videos!
Bob back with another banger 💪🏻
thanks man! and my god i enjoyed making the video!!!! i hope you enjoyed it aswell! :D
@@Bob_Dickinson I did! Love the bits of comedy thrown in as well. Can’t wait for the AH-1Z review!!
Also another banger of old gpu support wartunder game play review. Although would have liked a little more on the chin mounted guns
HELLLL YEA LESSS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
And the Next Banger Video From this Man
TYSM! i really appreciate it! o7
Awesome video, can you do a video on the mi28?
thank you so much man! i really wish i could but sadly i dont have any of the versions except for the MI-28N, ill try my best to get my hands on the NM then make a video on it, its a major heli so expect a video on it soon! o7
Production quality is insane
thank you so much mate! im glad that you liked it! :DDD
Grinding the Japanese heli tree without premium is absolute hell, even with the inclusion of ground rp to heli rp, I’ve only put in 1/3 of the rp required into the cobra in a month, stopping for now to prepare for the type 81c next update
Probably going to get the kisarazu in sales, I can’t do it
Anyways, great video
Oh yes the Grind for the helicopters are not something that is going to be easy especially with that god damn starter helicopter. And thank you for watching the video man
I have absolutely no idea how I haven't stumbled upon your channel until now, but I'm sure glad I did. I'm not even a helicopter player yet, but I've always loved them, and I intend to eventually. Stock starter heli grind is just... pain.
Any plans for an Iroquois/Huey guide? That's my first helicopter in the game... the Italian one... with two 7.62mm miniguns... and fourteen FFARs...
Kill me.
I understand your pain regarding the starter helicopter grind to be honest the ab205 is not the best helicopter to start with.
But if you want to I can give you some tips regarding the ab-205 so you can have much less problems with it on the battlefield.
The helicopter has 14 rockets and you have to learn how to use every single one of them in a way that you are going to do critical damage with every single one of them, what you can do is that you can practice on a helicopter that has ccip on its weapons, you can practice like me I used to go into the test drive in the Apache and practice different scenarios on different angles of attack with one by one rocket fire,
The ab 205 has very nice mini guns that are fairly traversable and they can be used as self-defense or destruction of light tanks on the battlefield
Also thank you so much for the incredible support and I absolutely appreciate it. :D I hope you enjoy your stay and I hope you enjoy the future content I'm gonna put on this UA-cam channel :v
@@Bob_Dickinson Subbed immediately after this one, and I'll be watching more for sure.
I've taken the 205 into some test flights to get a feel for it, but I just can't stand unguided rockets without CCIP. Depending on speed and angle, they either go perfectly where the reticle is, or a hundred meters past it. Can't nail down where to aim consistently, and with so few rockets, testing with a few shots isn't an option. I imagine the miniguns are good against other helicopters, and soft ground targets in Heli PvE, but they're practically useless against most vehicles you'll fight in Ground RB.
At least the speed and maneuverability is decent for a Huey. I'm not too experienced flying helicopters yet, having spent five years getting used to props and jets, but it'll click at some point.
The main issue is RP. It just takes so damn much to do anything. I don't even know what the most effective method is anymore. Ground RB rocket rushes, Heli PvP, or Heli PvE. Seems like it's all crap.
When you make the AH-1Z vid, please show what loadouts it should have compared to what it has in game.
I think the reason it only has the first hellfire version is because it was on of the first American helis in game, so the second version wasn’t in the game yet.
yea, ithink they either give AH-1Z its propper armaments, they either gonna make it like The french EC 665 Block 2, where they will force you into grinding another AH-1z, or they could improve the same thing. i would love to see thing thing improved
@@Bob_DickinsonMaybe they will add the AH-1W and then they’ll give both W and Z updated cockpits, let the Z version get hellfire 2s while the W version gets hellfire 1s and older aim-9s.
That is if they ever update the Apache or Viper
@@Bob_DickinsonThey could also add the AH-1W as a premium, and since they’re most likely going to give the W a good looking cockpit, the Z will most likely also get a good looking cockpit.
And since they’ll then have to justify basically adding the AH-1Z as a premium, they’ll give the Z way more updates weapons while giving the W hellfire 1s and some old aim-9 version, maybe the G version
oh yea ofcourse, this is also a great way to improve the viper and the super cobra aswell, and it really needs the cockpit too...@@superliogaming
I totally agree on the AH-1z getting new armaments just so that it would have a reason to play it over the Apache's. Still hoping for a A129 cbt video
oh yea im kinda waiting for the ah-1z to be diffrent than the AH64 aswell tbh... igot the A129 in my test drives rn >:) so DW that will come soon
@@Bob_Dickinson
Woooweeee can't wait for a video on the Italian stallion
The Tzefa A actually does have NVD, I'm not sure where you saw it doesn't, otherwise great guide!
ah man... thank you so much for putting that out... my god my game never shown that to me, neither the Modules research nor the Stats on the crew...
I love the style of Channel
thank you mate! im glad that you like it :D
Classic Bob banger 🙏🙏
ayyy mah man thank you so much ! :DDDD
Sometimes I'd carry miniguns and 20mm rotary cannon exclusively to become a cheap hovering AA in 8.0, or just to chase down a retreating heli back to their base
Lol nice!
I really want to get tech tree helis but i don't know how to farm them in proper realable way, do you have any tips for that ? (great vid btw)
thank you so much man! ok so it depends on how u want to grind it, but you have several ways
1-Heli PVE, this one needs alot of time spend on to work around, premium time and premium heli is highly recommended, this one has a slow grind but it works.
2- Ground RB, now this game mode u can do better if you know what ur doing, u can do heli rush kill a tank or two, survive a bit and u got approx 7k or 4k RP ,
3- Groudn SB, Ground SB is intresting dpending on its BR, in high tiers it painful to play cuz SPAAs and KA50s, but in lower tier ur gonna have an easier time. and you gotta get used to the simulator heli controls.
4- Assault Air RB, this is mostly top tier helis, u can also go with lower tier helis but ur performance is not gonna be as great, but again it depends on you,
Good luck on your grind mate!
@@Bob_Dickinson Thx mate, unfortunetly i don't have any premium for the tree i'm trying to grind (which is china) and the stock heli is a pain in the ass, i'll surely try the ground SB with it cuz it have some nasty ATGM, Thx for the tips and have a good day !
@@gabausaurus8315 affirmative oh and by the way the Chinese helicopters have psychopathic insane air to air missiles and are absolutely overpowered so if you got one of those helicopters that have the air to air missile please please check out my z19 video on how to play the air to air missiles
@@gabausaurus8315 Don't forget you can grind them with tanks now too.
I agree about the AH-1Z. Armament-wise, the AH-1Z as it is in WT is really an AH-1W with a different visual model, lol. The AH-1Z should have way more modern weaponry and FAR less fuel consumption. You'd think homeboy was an F-14...
Yep! Absolutely! They might aswell remove the viper an replace it with AH-1W xd
IF you see this in time for the anniversaries sale. Would you please do a guide on what Premium choppers would be a good pick up for SL grinding in heli PVE or for pairing with Ground RB. I am looking to get something I can do Heli PVE mainly.
yea sure thing, ill work on it!
@@Bob_Dickinson Thank you.
Well, Ka50 is no brainer, followed by premium Apaches.
Mi-24D for stomping low PvE bracket, but thats elusive heli that if it comes back briefly, its overpriced as hell. UK Rooivalk seems solid on paper - IR tracker, long range ATGMs, same with Italian/Turkish T129
I guess go with whatever nation you're playing Ground and you need a heli for it, and if premium heli is present AND have access to 7-8km+ ATGMs to pick off SAM/SPAA from afar, it should be decent. For Ground RB however, I'd pay attention to RWR, ideally NATO one AN/APR-39 as it can not only detect pretty much all SAM radars, identify them and should detect silent missile launches, to complement MAW if its present.
The "Anime girl" on the AH1S is a real life pilot drawn by said pilot on said helicopter.
oh yea im glad that we got this in WT tho, apparently they removed it from the heli, so its great for preserving history... in a frickin video game lmao
yay new video, hows discord server doing?
I want to know too!
thanks mate! im still working on it, it got into some problems regarding its entire Bot integration but its goin well!
@@eyeZitsme dont worry my friend! its coming in!!! :DD
good to hear, cant wait to join o7@@Bob_Dickinson
@@Bob_Dickinson o7
yes lets go another one
also i could have given u some footage or infos on all the isreali helis as i got them all
oh yea thank you so much man! i was wondering how much Tzefa D/E has in regards to its fuel load
@@Bob_Dickinson the fuel loads are 39min,45min,1h,2h10min i also got the uh60 if u planning on making a video on it :)
ayyy man thank you so much for the Fuel load man! :DDD i also got the Blackhawk via test drive, thanks for the offer man! o7
@@Bob_Dickinson no problem man :) you welcome glad I could be of some help
Well for sure you will do a review for the blackhawk, dont you?
OH HELL YEAAAA!!!!
Sick music
ah tnx! o7
Wish they’d fix a lot of the American tree, a lot of vehicles are gimped but yknow, we need a new t series tank 😁
Are you switching to aircraft reviews when youre done with the helis?
yep! but still have my heli content on the side aswell. u know... if any new helis get added i can make vids on it
@@Bob_Dickinson thats what i thought as well
Can you do a video about the EC665 Tiger HAP plz 🙏
Oh yes ofcourse, ill make a general guide on the entire tiger family of helicopters soon
Hey man, I love the detail and the in depth info, I just think you need a pc upgrade, it’s a bit of a turn off with the 16Fps low quality gameplay; love everything else tho
thank you so much man! i wish i could upgrade the PC... but unfortunately my country's economy wont allow me to do that, hopefully i can make some money on youtube and get the GPU ASAP...
@@Bob_Dickinson i inderstand mate, you know maybe i coulf help with gameplay, but i get that its hard, thanks for taking the feedback well, you do great with what you have
@@russell33313 thank you so much mate! I will try my best to get the GPU ASAP.
Now you are talking! I love the AH-1 family. sucks that one of the other nations gets the cooler versions of ah1g and 1f, they get the AH-1Q which is sooo cool bc it has the 40mm turret of the G and the Tow 1 missiles from the ah1f. i lo9ve it!!!
oh yea, its one of the best Early cobras and a releatively low BR aswell, atleast for heli PVE. tbh i really did not expect the cobra to receive alot of love from the community tho
oh yea, ive always been into ah1 since I got the g
Okay so I know there might be someone who already asked this. But why are you running those PlayStation2 graphics? I would have thought someone with a YT influence like you could afford something that could run it a bit better? Or is it just preference?
hi mate, unfortunately i cant afford a good GPU, ive been trying to get a GTX 1050TI for the last 6 years now, the economy i so terrible in my country that i cant buy one... hopefully with YT i can finally do something with it, my apologies, i dont like the Shitty PS2 graphics either... but i have to...
@@Bob_Dickinson damn I’m sorry to hear that. You have such high quality vids that I guess I kind of assumed wrongly. I’m very hopeful that you do make it.
Ah this man is expecting the Spanish inquisition, smart move.
well kinda yos xDDDDDD
fucking love the cobras, thanks for another banger bob!
thank you so much man!
I tried helis and was exited for it but as long the AH goes down from 1 7,92 bullet in the engine making it yellow so the engine cant even hold you up anymore i aint playin
yea helis are not meant to be shot, cuz they dont have the protection nor the armor, if they had it they would not even flydue to how heavy they got, the closest armored helis we got are the MI24 series of helis (not The A) and they are heavy to sling around.
Where do you think the MH-60L will sit?
Right after the OH-58D
DADDY DICKONSON
Great video as usual. I am a bit late bc i was on vacation but god i love these videos...
Once again asking for my dear EC665 family video 👹
Welcome back man! thank you so much for the support! yes i do infact have the test drive for the Top tier EC 665s aswell! i will work on the video soon!
@@Bob_Dickinson niceeeeeee
Ah the early game helicopter rush, whenever i play the bmp 2, at least 2 of these guys spawn
yep! and BMP 2 get em every time lol
@@Bob_Dickinsoncan confirm, heli rush only works half the time ha ha
AH-1g could carry tow missiles they should add tows to ah1g.
AH-1Z used to have hellfire kilos but gaijin removed em
yea... we want them back >:(
Borderline useless trivia but the anime girl on the side of the Japanese premium cobra is from the real world. The anime girl was that things pilot. There's a photo of her floating around the internet next to the art work.
oh yea, its very intresting that we have this thing in WT
I would like to play helicopters but dislike CAS. What should i do? Also T-129 next yes?
right so Playing CAS might be alittle bit hard in high tiers especially helicopters, but you gotta start from somewhere tho, u can start with bombing or using rockets with early planes, then you can go higher and use helicopters with rockets aswell, also ummm the T129 is in my hangar rn, i got its test drive although im waiting for the update to drop to see if blackhawk is coming in!
Is the AH-1Z identified as a Viper and not a Cobra?
it does actually identified as a cobra, however i didnt want to include it here because i really want to Make a dedicated video for it when its very special armaments would come to the game and be updated... Im looking at you gaijin >:(
its the "do a barrel roll" heli
Yea... and it slams me in the face every time i do it :(
T129 review?
Very soon mate.
@@Bob_Dickinson AWESOME! On another note i hope you are doing well.
15:46 lol
"To mE pEorSonAlLy"
why are you playing on super low quality?
Performance
Meanwhile helicopters at brs be alot better other then german 9.3
Japan can barely use their helies bc they don't really have any line ups bc gaijin don't like japan so once Japan has something they move it up
I am sure someone already told you about the weeb copter but incase noone did it's anime version of it's pilot
oh yea... thats the sad thing about the japanese helis... and thanks for the info on the weebcopter!
@@Bob_Dickinson i am glad to help or inform
Kisarasu was an advertising campaign to get Japanese girls interested in the military from what I understand that's why the pilots are female note it's the only aircraft in game that has female crew models
oh wow... that is pretty incredible ngl!
Grinding helicopters is sooooo tedious...
the first are useless, want to fly fast go low and get down by 12.7 cal, fly high and be a flying brick and get down by 12.7 cal or by aa
