Most players: “I want to fly an Apache.” “I want to fly a Huey Cobra!” “I want to fly a Black Shark.” Hunter: “l think I’ll fly this whatchamacallit here.”
Hello, I'm ok with anything with 6500m area for the one square maps in top tier, and in lower tiers where there is no thermal, desert and snow are the best for better spotting.
Nice video, Hunter! It always amazes me how you can get this absolute bathtub to work lol. By the way, the Su-25SM3 is absolutely disgusting. I have been outranging SAMs like crazy, the only real worry I have is low hanging clouds and the Pantsir, but at that point I just don't take it out lol.
Hunter, you’re the GOAT in CAS, maybe you have a solution: I want to drop GBUs will holding a TWS lock in the TomcatB but radar auto slaves to the ground my LANTIRN is looking at when I press “target point” keybind for gbus. Then, if possible, I could shoot a AIM-54 and target SAMs at the same time in the F-14B. (The Phoenix’ own active radar is able to track from such close ranges anyway, so this point could be moot.) I hope this isn’t confusing. Thanks!
Thanks for the compliment, there is no solution for it, the TGP slaves to locked targets, similar to Su-39 issue, I just turn off radar while bombing to stay hidden on enemy RWR and when all bombs dropped go air to air.
Hi Hunter hope you’re doing good! It took me like 2 light tanks but I finally started researching the Leopard a1a1 this mornjng! My first 9.0! And I also started to research the MIG-23 west German let’s just say air was a little more painful.❤ Keep up the content and as always cannot wait to watch this video. ❤
Hello, well done. In my opinion any player should focus one nation at the start without touching other nations, unlock everything in this one nation so he can experience battles in all ranks from rank 1 to rank 8, then he can start grinding for his 2nd nation. Thanks a lot :)
@@Hunter_i86 To give myself a head start on another nation I’ve already grinded the British Air 6th rank and Ground 4th rank! Tons of fun these vehicles are!
I remembered the name of the map FIELD OF NORMANDY. There are aircraft carriers that landed on one of them. Let's say on the F-4 phantom. and you'll see what happens. you will immediately understand what advantage I am talking about. Moreover, in the game the battles are very fast and such an advantage is important.
I'm honestly surprised that there hasn't been a lot of Mi-8AMTSh's out there. The Terminator is such a great helicopter especially when it sits at 9.7 br. Those 8x Igla missiles are a real killer at the br.
I think most people just never really looked at it, just saw a 9.7 mi-8 and went "nah" but who knows maybe it'll come about. Heli grinding especially the modules is still tedious and boring so could be that no one wants to invest into a 9.7 heli either and just pushes past
@@TheTemplarnight I guess that's true. I just picked up the Mi-8AMTSh not only because of it's weapons but because well it was the only other helicopter in the tree I had left to grind. I still think Tanks helping the grind for helicopters was probably one of the best ideas that gaijin actually decided to go with an implement. It allowed me with a premium ground vehicle to grind out my USSR helicopter tech tree in 2-3 months. Comparing to the previous method you easily cut off a year and a half from the grind at the very least.
@@TheTemplarnight Not going to lie I'm kind of salty whenever gaijin adds a new helicopters in front of the helicopter you're trying to grind. In those cases it becomes very tedious indeed. It's kind of depressing to see you need to grind another helicopter to get the better helicopter you were originally trying to grind. In my case it's the AH-1Z but the AH-1W is being placed in front and I've still got 94k rp to go on the AH-1Z. All I want is to enjoy the 2x Stealth air to air missiles it has aka Aim-9M's ;-;
hi hunter. I forgot the name of the map but there is an ocean there and many players are standing at the obelisk on the embankment. there is a lot of greenery there. there are aircraft carriers at sea. Today I didn’t fly to the airfield in my phantom. I landed on an aircraft carrier. after which I appeared immediately in the air. at a speed of somewhere between 800 and 1000. Hunter ships are working and there you can train and replenish ammunition. try to land on an aircraft carrier on this map... there is a lot of greenery on the map and there is an embankment with a T-shirt. I QUICKLY MADE SIGHTS OFF THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER ON THIS MAP GIVES A COLOSSAL ADVANTAGE... in general, where there are ships on those maps, the aircraft carrier gives the advantage of appearing in the sky.
спасибо! это транспортный вертолёт- трудяга. он конечно мало пригоден для боевых действий,но в твоих руках и палка-орудие! помню как в детстве пришёл на работу к отцу на вертодром,и там стояли эти вертолёты в гражданской версии с открытыми створками сзади. это произвело впечатление. а так можно? :D
hey Hunter havent watched in a while great vid, I wanted to ask when will you apply for a store discount link to help support you and possibly a decal, I'd love to have yours :)
Hello my friend, I would love to do that, it would be an honor but to be honest with you I applied twice but Gaijin declined, they said more views needed. Thanks for caring, and welcome back :)
The boi we need is the Mi-8 AMTSH-VN "Sapsan" with thermals, RWR, maw, Verba MANPADS and LMUR missile, I think it would be great at top tier, where its poor mobility would be offset by its great countermeasures and missiles. Also it looks very sexy!
Yk, I think I’m gonna get back into war thunder again. I’ve been off and on for months (more off) but I think I finally wanna finish out the German tech tree
@@Hunter_i86 nice vid as always. 7:48 Btw the same guy in gepard insulter me today when i killed with rockets on commercial port map. He was also in gepard and i was in ec665 hap with rockets only and i spammed him😂. Coincidence? Idk
I find Mi-8 helis lack of wings makes it more enjoyable to fly than Mi-24 line, Mi-8AMTSh is upgraded and takes off very fast and is not much slower than Mi-24 also it doesn't matter really because of structural rip speed both are shakin above 300kmh, suprisingly Mi-4AW was durable up to 400kmh 😂
Most players: “I want to fly an Apache.” “I want to fly a Huey Cobra!” “I want to fly a Black Shark.”

A thingamobob, even.
So true
"GET REKT NOOB" so evil 😂😂😂
I love it !
How many missiles do one person need?
Hunter: Yes
That "get rekt noob" was so genuine, i love it
Swiss army knife of helicopters, cheap, versatile and effective, and most importantly chunky
Importante 🤌 granata perforante, para adelante.
Honestly, you make any vehicle you play overpowered, love the videos keep up the awesome stuff!!!
Glad you like them! thanks a lot :)
That german mig15 got skill issued hard
hi hunter, hope you doing well. nice vid like always. btw. do you have a favourite map for all types of CAS?

heyyyy hunter great video, and ramadan mubarak, how is ur health buddy ?
Salam brother, Ramadan Mubarak. Still in the fight, not so bad I would say. Thanks and God bless you :)
Как всегда самые крутые видео! Спасибо за контент! Здоровья тебе и удачи!
Thanks a lot comrade :)
I have both the T64b and Mi8 but ive overlooked it going for 10.3 lineups.. might have to give it a try
Give it a try and always try to play at the max range of Shturm missiles, 4-5km. Your survival rate will increase.
What if you: Wanted to warn your allies of an incoming enemy jet
But gaijin said: Chat spamming
Damn, didn’t know the hip could carry that much ordnance, might have to give it a shot, after god knows how long of a grind

I love the Mi-8 so much, but I love watching Hunter play the Mi-8 more. lol
Just got this heli, it's quite sluggish as stock so i hope it was worth the grind when it's aced
Congrats
Do you use relative controls when you roll left and right?
Relative control that is a thing for Sim difficulty, in RB controls I use "manual roll" button in heli controls.
@@Hunter_i86 thanks I’ve always wondered how you roll so cleanly every time I watch one of your videos
65 years of Mi-8 "Hip" in 2026

I believe the correct response should be “Womp womp”
Next time, will try to remember all these U.S terms lol.

10.7 would be nice? Like AH-1W
@@Hunter_i86 I agree. The only thing making it potentially very powerful would be LMUR missile, but it would only carry one or two...

Let's go, for the fatherland. ✌
Hello guys, yesterday I got the Nuke but a gepard shot me down, this comment will be lost among the other comments so it doesn't matter.
🎉
It does matter. Hard luck my friend. Next time try to fly at the lowest possible altitude.
@@Hunter_i86 :,)

Don't worry I got into a Nuke plane for the first time on console and didn't know how to fly
Ese helicóptero es bastante grande 😅
How can you control the heli while aiming the missiles? Mine seems to be unresponsive when i am guiding
A and D buttons for rolling
@@Hunter_i86 Yes that would be normally the case.. but when the laser designator is active A and D does nothing. Maybe it's my keybinds?
@@adam_k99 Maybe your keybinds, and maybe it is because the choice of the initial controls setup wizard, mine is "Mouse and Keyboard Only (Advanced)".
@@Hunter_i86 Thanks a lot Hunter :)
@@Hunter_i86It was the control "Missile control X/Y Axis".. They were set to Alt+W/A/S/D which disabled the manouverability
You should try out AH-60
T64BV on top! Great video :)
i would like to see a AH-1W Soon Gj
I hope soon I will finish it :)
I love playing this heli but I wish the sight was a little bit more powerfully magnified.
Yeah, low zoom ☹
7:29 lol
Spicy comment! DRINK!
its funny comparing this to the bo105s in the germand tree, they just have nothing in comparison
