I would like to see two AH-64s team up to hit air defense sites as a team. Then, take out armor, vehicles, and infantry. Terrain with large hills and trees.
Former Army helicopter pilot and helicopter flight instructor. The fastest way to become an outstanding helicopter pilot (this will translate to simulation, too) is to demand precision in every aspect of flight. Examples: Hovering out of your airfield, pick a point directly in front of you. Hovering Exactly 5', over the line, no drift, no deviation in heading; at your imaginary point, do a pedal turn, slow and continuous, no drift, no deviation of your 5' Hovering. Apply the same principles in straight and level flight: Altitude within 25', heading within 2°, speed within 3 kts. You may think you suck at first but you will be a stud if you diligently practice. Practice perfection to become perfect. Almost forgot the most important tip. The scan: Airspeed, attitude, Altitude, heading. Every three seconds followed by small mental control inputs for corrections.
@@Trve_Kvlt Youll find its basic commentary at best and while ive never flown a real helicopter you will find i excel at dcs helicopting and would out fly any real heli pilot because they are too structured and i am a 'flow' pilot. FLOW - Find Low Oscillate wind

This is how the Apache versus felon dogfight is going to go. GS will start out saying something like today we are be in the... BOOM videos over. If you need to watch this fight go back and re-watch the F-15 close air support. GS blew away three Hinds and they probably didn't even know he was there that's what you're asking for why do you want to see that?
My dad noticed I absolutely love watching your content so now it’s tradition once he gets home from work to watch your daily upload! Thank you Gs loving all the new uploads! Me and him were laughing the other day when you said “there’s something so satisfying about starting off neutral, working to someone’s six and scoring a kill” me and him knew what you were saying but my mom walked in and only heard “satisfying about scoring a kill” and was so worried lol
One of my fav things to hear is that the videos are leading to more father and son time. I'm grateful to be able to provide a few mins of entertainment to you both. Say Hi to your old man for me. Much Love.
@9:24 - After reviewing the footage, the ruling on the field is overturned. Number AH-64, Offense, was down by contact during the play. The ball will be moved back to the position of Number AH-64's downing. The Play Clock will be reset, and the Offense will maintian posesstion. 2nd Down!
Apache and A-10 are some of your best content. I love the dogfights but close air support is just awesome and you're getting pretty damned good at flying that chopper. Very impressive missile dodging.
Be careful…..Rubbing the ground like that will earn you a new call sign in the squadron. That’s how pilots really get their real call signs. You fly the chopper like a jet, lots of strafing runs. Great video, as always.
9:15 Textbook maneuver to bury the missile. Works every time 😎 Many would say the margins were too close. They would die to the missile. But GS knows, missiles don't have landing gear - missiles can't follow that maneuver. 10:00 and he does it again to demonstrate the reliability of the technique to these foolish nay-sayers. I would tell real Apache pilots to take notes, but I already know anyone crazy enough to pilot a rotary aircraft is crazy enough to pilot it like that.
You've gotten REALLY good at fighting a helicopter the way it's meant to be fought! Terrific improvement here and distinctly different from the "fighter pilot" stuff. Entertaining to watch, thanks for posting!
It's weird i have never seen your face but I'm addicted to how you talk, collected and you go in depth describing features and manuvres and tactics, you're the only reason i come on here and of course i get lucky and win a dcs starter pack and controllers so that i can practice what you preach!😊 Congs on hitting milestones with subs!
For many past videos I’ve seen one comment about Apache vs su-57 I wonder if it will happen since last video and this video is a Apache makes wanna see it happen tbh
9:05 That was the wildest missile dodge i have ever seen..... your left wheel bounced off the ground and rotor disc was soooo close to the ground. Awesome entertainment brother!!!!
That longbow on the top for long distance radar I believe. Be nice to see it with the old electric gatling style canon. Better still, it can attach sidewinders to the wing tips, see if it can take on a plane :)
Mowing the lawn... Looked like your blades should have hit the ground. Lucky lucky! Curious if you use the same throttle set up for helicopters. How do you handle throttle and collective?
I've been loving the new update so far. Hopefully the FPS increase I got and the lack of crashes that I was getting at the end of the previous OB will mean I can get some online flying in with the Apache. I still need to try out multicrew in the thing.
I actually got back into DCS cause of yer vids. Re learning the F15 and BF109 K-4. Both have been a lot of fun to relearn. Damn radar gets me all the time 😂😂 love the videos and hope one day to fly along side you or even against ya. Keep up the amazing work ❤❤
Ka-50 gun sound is also surprisingly satisfiying in BS3. When pulling just one shot(literally) (not saying its any use...) with lo rate, it echoes nicely in canyons. Not to mention full burst :)
Ngl, putting on a VR headset amd shoot9ng the Apache gun is probably my single favor8te gaming moment in my life.. besides beating Mario3 back in the early 90's lol
"If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge an ATGM." I must say as huge of a fan of this channel, the helicopter vids aren't usually making my top 5 favs but the pucker factor of those missile dodges were pretty entertaining. lol Well done sir.
One might argue that the hellfire surpasses the 30mike mike, but it's subjective. I have no clue what it's like to be on the trigger of an Apache but being on the move on the ground and putting rounds down range with a 50 is a helluva drug.

Please tell me AH-64 Apache vs Su-57 Felon is coming sometime down the pipeline I can't wait lmao :)
Yeah... apparently you need to do full video on stress testing the Apache's landing gear. This video was a half-assed attempt.
I would like to see two AH-64s team up to hit air defense sites as a team. Then, take out armor, vehicles, and infantry. Terrain with large hills and trees.
Serious question, does the AC-130 have combat capabilities in DCS? Also I couldn't find out if DCS has the russian AC-12
Day 54 of asking for A-10 vs F-86, or even better A-10 vs a series of different generations of jet fighter.

Fan-fuckin-tastic advice. Never would've thought of about it this way, but I'm also way more used to fixed wing.

You should do a training video together.

GS is really warming up for that Felon fight 😂
Hopefully
Day 2,021
He's gonna be ready to throw hands
The felon is still gunna win though. And I’m not even a fan of it.
The Apache sits at the end of the runway and smokes the Felon with the 30 Mike Mike!!!
One step closer to the legend that will be the Apache versus felon dogfight
Yes
This is how the Apache versus felon dogfight is going to go.

I'm happy to see that he's honing his skills. Last video he said he hasn't flown Apache in months.

@@GrowlingSidewinder thank you so much! I will definitely tell him when he gets home! Have a great rest of your day!!
Apache vs Su-57 next video
@9:24 - After reviewing the footage, the ruling on the field is overturned. Number AH-64, Offense, was down by contact during the play. The ball will be moved back to the position of Number AH-64's downing. The Play Clock will be reset, and the Offense will maintian posesstion. 2nd Down!
LMAO!!!!! agreed!!
KNEW there was a *reason* why the Apache has permanently deployed landing gear/wheels. 🚀

"What's up, Dustbuster??"
Call sign: Skidmark
@@whistlingbadgerI like it!!! Ha!!
Love the way the hellfires sound coming off the rail from inside the cabin.
Flaring over dry grass prairie should enable a wildfire smoke screen, especially when hovering over flare drops to momentarily whip up the flames.
Gotta write that down
I just injured my hand in a work accident and this video really helped take my mind off the pain. Looking forward to more Apache videos!
Whoever started the AH64 vs Felon thing, brace yourself. GS is definitely warming up lol

looooooool, I wish I could pretend I did all of those on purpose. truth is I was surprised to be alive myself lol.
@@GrowlingSidewinder I know, but you could have fooled us!
You've gotten REALLY good at fighting a helicopter the way it's meant to be fought! Terrific improvement here and distinctly different from the "fighter pilot" stuff. Entertaining to watch, thanks for posting!
Almost like he’s ready to take on a 5th generation jet🤔
14:59 You were so close to the deck I was half expecting "Old fashioned way" to mean 'jump out and smash it up with a wrench'
LOL! I had a similar thought! I thought GS was gonna park on top of the thing!
Day 151 of asking for AH-64 Apache versus Su-57 Felon
It's gotta happen
Pulling for you, especially after another Apache video
Bro, your commitment is unheard of, we appreciate it!
He's playing you man 😂
He's PRACTICING
Felon guy WHERE ARE YOU!!??
The AH64 is incredible - and if you haven't yet flown it in VR, you are missing out on an awesome experience!
It's weird i have never seen your face but I'm addicted to how you talk, collected and you go in depth describing features and manuvres and tactics, you're the only reason i come on here and of course i get lucky and win a dcs starter pack and controllers so that i can practice what you preach!😊 Congs on hitting milestones with subs!
Always love your vids you the youtuber that got me into DCS much love
For many past videos I’ve seen one comment about Apache vs su-57 I wonder if it will happen since last video and this video is a Apache makes wanna see it happen tbh
Smacking the deck to shake off those missiles was legendary. Makes you see why they built those things to be so sturdy
That lading gear is the MVP of this video
He's teasing felon dude like a high school cheerleader.
9:05 That was the wildest missile dodge i have ever seen..... your left wheel bounced off the ground and rotor disc was soooo close to the ground. Awesome entertainment brother!!!!
GS is a fantastic pilot. Cant wait to see how he does against the Felon!
I just noticed the hellfire missile pods tilt upward slightly when you take off. Interesting.
That longbow on the top for long distance radar I believe. Be nice to see it with the old electric gatling style canon. Better still, it can attach sidewinders to the wing tips, see if it can take on a plane :)
We get GTA 6 before felon vs Apache dogfight😭
Great video again. Just can't get enough of your heli-themed fights. Thanks!
very good flying, for someone that claims he’s not good with copters.
excellent no-flare dodging with those SA-8s.
Mowing the lawn... Looked like your blades should have hit the ground. Lucky lucky!
Curious if you use the same throttle set up for helicopters. How do you handle throttle and collective?
Map throttle as collective and inverse the control. Forward throttle
= up in collective. Its how i do.
You sir, are playing with fire
Those missile dodge without flare were amazing 😮 good job
I've been loving the new update so far. Hopefully the FPS increase I got and the lack of crashes that I was getting at the end of the previous OB will mean I can get some online flying in with the Apache. I still need to try out multicrew in the thing.
Not DCS fault blame you overclock, CPU or RAM overclock is not stable ....lol
Those landing gear were putting in work!
AH-64 Apache vs SU-57 Felon, it’s showtime! 😈 your audience has spoken ⚔️
My dad was in the army from 82-92 he said his w favorite warlords that saved their asses plenty of times was the AH-64 apache and the A-10
The amount of disrespect to those MiG-21s is ridiculously funny 😂
I actually got back into DCS cause of yer vids. Re learning the F15 and BF109 K-4. Both have been a lot of fun to relearn. Damn radar gets me all the time 😂😂 love the videos and hope one day to fly along side you or even against ya. Keep up the amazing work ❤❤
Landing gear puttin' in work today.
I love how he acknowledged everyone wants the apache vs felon fight but he phrases it as "apache content"
Man, those missile evasions at the beginning were insane.
Please do Apache vs Felon. This is too much teasing
Maybe also do Huey vs Apache while you're at it
Or, apache vs everything?
Very nice. Id like to see how different this mission would look in a KA-50 though.
Osa 9K33 missile system (SA-8) is a radar command-guided system and it's spoofed by chaff, not flares.
the MWS puts out flare and chaff as needed so no problem there.
Lovin the first cavalry livery.
Really working that front left landing gear today.
Idk why but the apache just looks like a flying demon
The are very few aircraft in this world that possess the might, fire power and god damn sex appeal of the AH-64 Apache!
I love your vids about the AH-64D Apache keep making them 😁
Ka-50 gun sound is also surprisingly satisfiying in BS3. When pulling just one shot(literally) (not saying its any use...) with lo rate, it echoes nicely in canyons. Not to mention full burst :)
9:29 your rotor has just said farewell 😂
naaaah it never touched the ground. it was close though.
The spider was an added bonus, thanks.
Man i love these videos! Absolutely incredible!!!!
Some Neo shit like on the Matrix when you dodged those missles😂 damn good flying
Lucky you still had the gun after some of those ground bumps. I have lost mine a few time.
GS over here doing wild weasel in an Apache.
PLEASE recreate the us military tests of rotary vs fixed wing air to air combat
Great video! Would be cool to see a live gunner with you, cause alot of us multi crew lol, give us a show and some tips
hey gs! ive ran simulators on the sa8 and know a lot about russian sams, the osa is radar guided and you can use your chaff for it!
you should create a persona and RP them on a campaign. That would be awesome!! Doesn't matter what you fly.
I was wondering when the Longbow was going to show up.
Im just doing my part su 57 felon vs apache
"what are you trying to tell me? that i can dodge missiles?"
"yes".
Really making good use of those wheels.
Love your videos. Id like to see some more ww1 fighter content.
Apache vs Felon next! THERES NO DENYING IT NOW!
Those missile evades were so Hollywood, lol
that anti-air missile miss :O🤏
and another(!)
Great content. Thanks. How about some AC 130 Spectre havoc ?
Great video! I can't believe you bunny hopped like that! Great defending
The shots u got of them shooting at u was insane...and that gun at the end was dessert, can I have some more please?
There is such a thing as a Gun Duty Cycle there GS 🙂
“Alright guys, so here we are in the AH-64 Apache and today we’re going to be taking on the SU 57 Fe-(black screen)
Dam GS was flying through gopher holes
awee but that grass though:) It's beautiful in VR!
"It's a machine gun!" Lmao
Ngl, putting on a VR headset amd shoot9ng the Apache gun is probably my single favor8te gaming moment in my life.. besides beating Mario3 back in the early 90's lol
10:03 if you say “oof, everything’s fine”
By god it will be fine 😂
Imagine seeing an Apache crip-flying and destroying things around it
The Army called. They want you to turn in your wings😂
Anyone else gritting their teeth at the flare drops in the open dry wheat field? 😬😬
It went from DCS to Desert Strike in one video.
"If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge an ATGM." I must say as huge of a fan of this channel, the helicopter vids aren't usually making my top 5 favs but the pucker factor of those missile dodges were pretty entertaining. lol Well done sir.
Gotta love the M230 Chaingun.

Nobody in an Apache is going out by themselves, especially if they are Heavy Hogging like you were in this video.
Nice mission and great video!
George seems much more agreeable than Jester in the F-14 😆 No panic ejections, or frantic shouting 😂
Yay! More Apache action:)
would love to hear some of the ground audio when the gun was firing :)
NEVERMIND I JUST HAD TO WAIT
9:30 your blades were digging into the ground.
Do you use the same flight stick setup for your Helicopter videos as you do for Jets?
Good video, but at 9:23 those blades were eating the dirt you would have crashed for sure.
Revenge of the porta potty when? I’ll settle for Felon vs Apache content…
What missions do you play? All designed urself for the videos? Great content as always.
I LOVE THE AH-64D VIDS
