Choppers can be menaces. But true fear is only known by a chopper who is out of missiles, and then draws the ire of a fast mover. It's spooky when a flying tennis court with more thrust to weight ratio than god buzzes by at mach.

Real military training exercises have revealed helicopters armed with AA missiles actually have an impressive record against jet fighters. They move much faster than SAM and are difficult to target because of how close to the ground they are. It's just typically helicopters aren't armed with AA missiles.
Depends on the terrain for sure, but it makes sense. I wonder why we've never done it. Made a helicopter primarily made for AA. Harder to track then other AA. Can fly up for better range with radar. Can carry a huge radar. Can go low to hide. Can move when detected. Imagine trying to tag one in a city using buildings as cover. If they had stealth, huge missiles, and bigger radar on top meaning they could hit you before you found them. It would be a nightmare! You'd have to catch em other ways, but they could resupply anywhere or move.
@dianapennepacker6854 The primary reason they are not is refueling. While they are effective from a pure kill death ratio they can't stay aloft long. This makes defending an area with them impractical. In offensive missions you usually want your attack helicopters for close air support.
Also the fact that they still have to be piloted by humans, who have to sleep, eat, and have a tendency to do annoying things like develop families and become sick or bored in your multi million dollar helicopter. A SAM at least doesn't do any of that. Sure it can't move, but it always does its job. Sam, however, whose on raven duty, had too much Patron last night and really isn't feeling it right now. Now, if we can figure both the fuel and manned part out, we'd have large class drones and heli pilots would no longer matter much. Hell, wouldn't be shocked if that's already in the pipelines.
@@roetemeteor They don't precisely have to be manned. An unmanned chopper with nothing but fuel and a payload of A2A missiles would not be hard to develop. The only problem with refueling it would be protecting the refuel site in an era of drone strikes and recon.
Damn, I wish I found your channel earlier. It's so interesting watching these simulations (without the stakes of a real dogfight lol), AND it allows you to pull crazy Main Character™ stunts! I would have loved to watch them with my dad. He absolutely LOVED planes and would literally watch Top Gun every day. Being a pilot was his dream lol.
On one hand, I get running into a channel using this sim to fly bombers at maybe 300 feet in the air towards a WWII era battleship to see if it can drop its payload and survive the stupid amount of flak rounds it was never designed to be near let alone tank. And then we have you, who somehow loses a wing or engine at every engagement and still manages to win most dogfights through a combination of “I know my shit” and “holy shit I can’t believe that worked”.
Oh my god I just realized what insane amount of attention to details that game has: "I fly in front of the sun and the missile losses track". Oh. My. God.
i just love the difference in levels of gameplay. I would be like , "so i turned left and shot - he wasn't there, but it looked cool, so i did a loopty loop and then crashed into a tree"
I play War Thunder and just annihilate everyone bcs i know when to turn, how to manage my altitude, dodge missiles, one-circle and two-circle rules and specs. All thanks to you and your insane way of teaching.
Damn, I need to get a HOTAS again. Used to have one back in the 90s before I had kids, and loved playing combat simulators like the Falcon series. Too many other priorities for my money right now, though. Guess I'll have to live vicariously through these shorts!

"With more thrust to weight than God"
Compared to a jet fighter, that Gazelle is just dead meat when it runs out of missiles.
Bruh ‘flying tennis court with more thrust to weight ratios sent me rolling wayy harder than it should have💀💀💀
“Oohhh shiny!” ADHD ahh missile 🤣
As someone who has ADHD, I can confirm this.

So satisfactory, and I like it when she went: "Aubergine, Aubergine" (Over G)
... I can't unhear that.
"Better to be lucky than good".
Well, luck does tend to favour the skilled and the prepared.
"I send out so many freedom tickets..." man this guys' humor is on point
The 'oooh shiny' killed me lol 😂
And unfortunately for the Hornet, it's not an F-15. So good luck trying to fly without a critical structural component.
Getting killed by a Gazelle? This maneuver is gonna cost us our dignity 😭
I have been shot down by many choppers, they can just land and be almost impossible to spot when your concentrating on a lot of other things 🙂
@@Tabs_Original True that. Plus I really hate MANPADS. My main plane is the Jeff and that thing doesn't have a warning system for that 😅
@PH1LZ yeah manpads get me a lot in contention
Every time it looks like something from Top Gun
That missile went for the forbidden heat source.
Also my god i love the f-15s paint job.
The idea that a seeker missile loses its lock-on if it faces the sun is an incredible detail.
Damn, I wish I found your channel earlier. It's so interesting watching these simulations (without the stakes of a real dogfight lol), AND it allows you to pull crazy Main Character™ stunts! I would have loved to watch them with my dad. He absolutely LOVED planes and would literally watch Top Gun every day. Being a pilot was his dream lol.
Fun fact helicopters are surprisingly effective against planes
And have won a majority of the dog fights they have been involved in against planes
Very interesting.
they are notoriously hard to find against ground clutter
Sky eye- Gun range! Chopper down. Gun Range! Hornet down... good Job Tab
I always appreciate your narrative breakdowns. So good!
Glad you like them, thanks for watching!

I have my fair share of bad luck as well, lol.
@ Losing both engines to one missile definitely proves that
I wish i could fully appreciate the conplexity of dogfights
"Ooooh, shiny!"
I hereby dub that missile 'Kiki'.
"oohh shiny"
That killed me for no reason😂😂
I appreciate that you show your successes and failures in equal measure. It makes for more interesting material for me.
It’s not all luck….thats when skill meets luck
I love these videos, just everything about them is really engaging and enjoyable. Thanks :)
Glad you enjoy it!
Great video and even greater voiceover, you're the best Tabs!😀👍🏻
Thank you!

"freedom tickets" is the best thing ever! I love your gameplay and shorts Tabs!!
Thank you!
I understand like 60% of these videos, but they’re all amazing
Even if you take out both of its engines, the Immortal God Emperor of the Skies will still lay the Exterminatus upon its enemies.

That Gazelle woke the American Giant
That thing with the sun is so cool! This game has crazy detail!
I love your shorts and videos, man. You’re doing great.
Thank you!
Even the missile is branded with his channel name 😮
Oh my god I just realized what insane amount of attention to details that game has: "I fly in front of the sun and the missile losses track". Oh. My. God.
yooo, that detail of missile losing track because of the sun impressed me
What??? The SUN can cause a missile to lose track??? I don't know if I'm more amazed by that or by the fact that it's in the game
that's an issue with older heat seeking missiles irl
Beautiful work, lol it all happens in a flash but its fun checking the combat footage after.
The masculine urge to make dog fighting simulation my entire personality...

Man that jet was SCREAMING at you
Wow..... The amount of thoughts that goes into that kind of flying.,
the Gazelle is such a cool chopper 👍
Maverick vs This Dude would be peak fiction
That missle is just like me FR FR
I don't blame the missile. We all stop what we're doing when we see something shiny and go "ohhh, shiny".
The way blud dogfights will make a real pilot speechless 😢
Imagine being the hornet, your friend takes out someone but they kill you first then the second time they wipe you both out
"i send out so many freedom tickets i get a 2 for 1 deal" 💀🙏
get this man in a pilot's seat IMMEDIATELY

Fighter: look at the sun

the watermark on the missile was amazing
Only reson I watch yt shorts ❤
They had some really good teamwork though.
could we have more of the vr view, i find it really interesting to see what you are seeing. love your videos, thanks.
Gazelle: yes yes, you hornet you keep him busy.... I KEEP HIM. DEAD!
It worked the first time!
"That doesn’t stop me from taking out this hornet, before i lose hydraulic power and lawn-dart into the ground"
Bro is just casually a better pilot than half the United States Navy😂😂

Love to see someone sending freedom tickets into cheeky bugers.
“Taste the sun” ahh missile
There's no way that's coded into the game
It loses track in a sun glare that's amazing
I find it utterly unfathomable that any plane other than an F 22 raptor or an F 35 lightning have any chance of defeating an F 15 eagle
God damn professional Tabs.
you double-dawged that Gazelle.
The missile may know where it is at all times, but lore accurate eagle cannot lose
"Ooh, Shiney"
Are you fucking serious?😂
The missile says ohĥhhh shiny got me laughing
