No Fortunate Son playing, isn't that against the law when a Huey is involved
Or the Spencer David Group 'Gimme Some Lovin' when flying over the rice paddies...
@@robertvantine2810 I believe there's a list of acceptable substitutes for fortunate son, Rolling Stones Gimme Shelter, or Paint it Black, Buffalo Springfield, For what it's worth, 😂😂

I loved how when Dark was doing the Alligator sensor run, he was so chill. No change in inflection, no stress.
[Nearly falls out of the sky] Dark, deadpan, "Gotta remember I'm flying a helicopter."
His vibe fits his callsign.
I had Dark's emotions removed by a cheap doctor to make his DCS playing more efficient. Seems to have worked?
I love how you put "important science" in the thumbnail Cap. All of your videos are important science! 😂
Fair comment.
Apache in DCS: 😊
Apache in WT: 💀
Nerded to obvilion in WT.
No Cap, you are not the world's worst helicopter pilot. My son recently got to try an Apache pilot training simulator, nobody told him about the foot pedals so he was mostly using precession and recession to turn.
I think he will grow up to be a great pilot.
Ok fine, I'm 2nd worst!
I don’t love a good gull when they steal your battered sausage from your chippy
Gulls taste terrible, they're not good eating.
Are you kidding? I have been flying the Kamov for years in DCS and never realized it had a sunroof...
I think KA-50 with sensor is the best.
Yeh looked pretty good.
Any landing that you can walk away from is a good landing.
You should equip the Mi-24 with its gun pods. Much easier to hit and higher volume of fire. Rounds are smaller and lower velocity but no matter for drones
Cap's greatest weakness is he is unable to fire a gun of any type without shouting "get some!".
Absolutely lousy on stealth missions.
.... That, and his canopy issues.
There comes a point where the incessant need to open the canopy mid flight EVERY mission gets very very old...and stupid. The GET SOME makes me hit MUTE.
@edwardhugus2772 yeah I'm sure it breaks their hearts🙄
..... I actually enjoy the humor of it. Not sure I'd enjoy pure mil-sim as much.
@@Wyomingchief Dont really care if it does or it doesn't........just an OPINION....
Guessing your opinions make you a blast at parties
"Up and Atom" a nice callout from The Simpsons' Radioactive Man. I loved in the filming the movie in Springfield the meathead with the heavy accent could only say 'up and at them.' such good fun from the simpsons back then, now I rely on Cap and the Beautiful Boys
McBain!!!!
13:32 those little black things on top of the gun are iron sights. Align front sight between rear sights and train weapon to put drone within the aligned sight picture. Ensure top of front sight aligns with top of rear sights. Adjust for windage and elevation by observing tracers relative to target at target range. Conserve ammo and barrel.
I was really hoping Cap, when finally getting the Pip to work on the Gazelle, would triumphantly cry, "PIP, PIP HOORAY!"
Seemed like a Cap thing to do...
Cap, were you flying the HIND from the front seat? I thought that was the WSO?
Kamov when you know what your doing would be easiest. The automated systems make it a breeze
That was a lot of fun to watch and informative. Good job Reapers😊
lovely how you cultivate "Jingles' landings"😂
Nice vid. Good fun!
I’m 7 minutes in and how many time is Cap going to say
“BENZIIINE” This video
There's a joke about "A Flock of Seagulls" in here somewhere, I can sense it...
Great vid... Thought the Gazelle was the most stable & manoeuvrable.. Nice kills by you Cap in it.. More Chopper flying please.. Love a bit of Rotary Wing Action..
Good fun!
In the movie, battleship. An international fleet as a show their partnership, had a joint naval exercise in which they had 3 of their ships move out of formation to scout the objects which had landed not far from the fleet. There were 3 crafts which had very strong offensive capabilities who had a fight with the 3 naval ships. I was thinking what would happen if you replaced the 3 craft with yamato class ships and have them fight the international fleet. The fleet as far as i remember consisted of americans and japanese. But if you changed the japanese to chinese and had the two use their carrier groups to form up the international fleet (with a few british ships). Then have them fight each other.
Impeccable landings!
Only the best here.
Little birds probably much the same as the Gazelle; higher volume/smaller munitions…
Cobra/Super Cobra might be an interesting one - similar firepower to the Apache; but significantly worse sensors… the chin turret might separate it from the Hind et al.
round the back - giggity
Lol...Capt....I didn't notice that guy in the back....and Demonitised.
Predicting the future again!
Love the landings... by expert aviators
Gotta luv it!
cap; 12:50 o, there is a guy in the back, i didn't know there was a guy in the back😁
you got to love english innuendo🤣
When cap was chasing that last drone in the hind all i could think was what happens if you pull that red handle
We have similar brains...
Simba: "That sounds like a you problem"
Cap: "It does sound like a me problem"
Me: "Actually it's a UH-1 problem, the MI will be later on"
Play me out Johnny *rat da dat dat da dat* 😂🤣🙃
Still confused why I'm hearing "Mee" instead of "Em Eye"...
But the havoc was one chopper only with sensors. Three of them with people that know how would probably be equal to the apache
The drone was shot by the door gunner of a Panther (militarised version of the Dauphin) , so no locking on target with the flir camera or shooting with the help of any kind of sensors.
To be realistic you should only be using helicopters with door gunners, no gunship.
Oh yes Friday night gunship shenanigans 😂
love thoes landings . . .
Every time I see the gazelle, I keep looking for the Blue Thunder mod. 😁
Agreed.
From a purely price-to-performance ratio, the Gazelle is hard to beat. Much easier to justify against cheap drones.
🚁 WOOT WOOT!! FLY ARMY!! 🚁 Best video yet - I'm biased LOL! Video Valued by Valued Viewer!
Today's episode is sponsored by benzene. Get some!
Benzene best zene for sure.
Ooh! Do Over idea; Same thing but in efficiency.
$/hr (running costs and ammo) to eliminate drones.
and maybe extend vehicles out to COIN aircraft and trainer jets?
A sort of a 'What'd be best for this task?' type thing.
I like it.
Probably a gunship like h225. I should note that their door gun is a variant of the m621 20mm
Guns-only, I am going to put the money on the Huey with a 7.62 mini-gun. I am at the start of the video. You can carry more rounds plus you're not going to need anything with a lot of penetration... so you carry more rounds for the same weight.
I may be weird, but I found the AH-64 Apache the hardest helicopter to fly vs the Mi-24 if we are talking pure flying and not weapons employment.
The Apache just feels so squirmy and does it's own thing and you are constantly fighting it, while the Hind is sluggish, but predictable meaning if you have tried MD-11s or 747s in simulators, you can easily deal with it.
Fair comment.
Missed a chance to hype the.... Learn to use the sensor on the Stone bridge server 😅
Do a scandy flick competition!!!!!
Agreed
Interesting.. i did a trial of the Gazelle and i had the exact same issue, no rudder control whatsoever, and collective would mess with the stick..
Never got to fly her.. shame.
The moment I saw these comments I was like WTF?
Cobra gets no reapect
Try using the Hellfire missiles !!!!!
Hip door gun was a PKM I believe
Or a PK variant the M is the infantry version
thx
Very important to turn on your fans whenever possible.
Good job Cap.
de-$
have you tried aiming when using the side guns?
Cap needs to work on his door gunner skills😂😂😂
He was strictly using his tracers and he wasn't even coming close most of the time
Benzeneeeee
Does DCS have a the Codbra Viper? They carry air to air missiles. Sidewinders.
Not yet.
Hey Cap.. how come your download of your HOTAS control setups doesn't include the Mi-24?
Not sure, will investigate.
What about "Airwolf" and "Blue Thunder"
Those should make short work of any drone. lol
Cap showing that he's a Rammstein fan ;)
Hey Cap, I can’t help but wonder if you can splash those seagulls flying around your LZ…
Sadly not :(
Surprised the AH-1Z wasn't included
That’d be because there’s no AH-1 in DCS.
@@MaxIsStrange1 Unfortunate
Someone is working on an AH-1 model
@@prex2000 Yep. I’d love to have the AH-1H or the AH-1Z in DCS to play with.
So, next is Airwolf vs Blue Thunder?
Good Lord the trolls are thick in the comments section😂😂
On side note, I'm guessing cap has never actually shot a real gun?😂
Is inability to even try to use the sights on the door Gunners is hilarious
Cap!!! Cap!!! Have you seen the latest SandBOX news about the new Mako hypersonic missile? F35 can carry them internally...... this is a game changer!
Damn Sandboxx actually saw my comment asking for a video about it.
Thanks will investigate.
How about drones with air-to-air missiles, they could withstand more Gs tighter turns?.
Would proximity fuzed ammunition be better against drones
Agreed
Why dont u put air to air missles on the heils like r 60s or stingers or even mistrals
Where is the AH-1Y?
Why not try the Mi-28 Havoc, or my favourite, the Wildcat?
Because they’re not flyable in DCS.
Now think about it... A drone with built-in AI for evading SAM... That will be terrifying
The wing loons do that already
You can just use satellite to search all the existing sam and aircraft then program the drone to fly around it far enough so that it won't be spotted
So Cruise missiles lol
The Huey is the most inefficent gunship in DCS by far...
Hey grim do a simulation of Iran vs Israel under recent developments...
Are the real life drones actively controlled? E.g. could they 'dogfight'?
You can program them to.
US military nomenclature for the Hip/Hind was always with the phonetic "Em Eye" 8/17/24 pronunciation.
When did it change to "Mee" 8/17/24?
Been wondering the same, must be a Tommy thing
I think the Ruskies use Mee? I'm not really sure.
7:01 what if the drones are programmed to attack what attacks them?
they aren't, the houthis aren't smart enough for that
@@ostlandia yes I know lol
Use your site
No AH-1Z Cobra?
Not modeled in DCS.
I know what your problem is:
You forgot to play _"Flight Of The Valkyrie"_ by Wagner...😉
Bro wtf is these profiles
bro why
Noted: Helicopters - designed to kill, not so good at returning to Earth.
You were right, it was a drone. Birds aren't real.
Door gunners.
first
Houthis are based, and fighting them is cringe.
The obligatory troll. I guess they're based IF you support terrorism🙄
