Hinds are really, really tanky I swear. I've shot Aim-9x's at them multiple times and they never go down.. I strafed one with my A-10's cannon and it somehow survived the 30mm... (IN DCS)
@@DTMCRAZYGAMING Absolutely! It’s a monstrous dogfighter once you get the hang of it. I have several Frogfoot kills, and maybe half a dozen MiG kills. My go to load out is the cannon pods, with zunis.
I would agree but not being a real pilot and then see the difference of the aircraft could do before and after the update opened my eyes to see that it did need a lot of help
The L has a laser rangefinder… you just need to flip the switch cover up, same as the M. The sight can also guide HOT3 missiles - they're a lot more than binoculars!
True but at the time of this video release. They didn’t have the extra laser features. Later updates had them add these features after I released the video
jesus christ the jousting between you and the hind was fucking spectacular dude! too bad DCS damage model is dogshit. His pilons fell in a single burst yet his tail was made of vibranium!
Was that the correct way of flying for the Hind pilot? He very much looked like he was flying a plane; I would have expected more use of the tail rotor, to spin and bring the nose to bear faster...
Believe it or not, the hind is much better at flight at high/cruising speeds. Making it almost feel like you’re flying a plane. It’s much harder to keep it at a hover
Recommendations on trying to take this beast off now that they "fixed" the flight characteristics? Seems like now can't take off, even with fuel less than 50 and HOT3s.
I tend to take 30-40% fuel. Make sure you’re doing a translational lift takeoff rather than just trying to go straight up under heavy loads. There’s definitely new issues but overall I much prefer it now.
The devs felt compelled to make the gazelle as prone to settling with power as all the other choppers in DCS, in order to match expectations for “realism”. It’s a unrealistic as it was before, but in the other direction. And in both extremes you have SMEs claiming the flight model is accurate. That being said, you can take off with 100% fuel if you use translational lift.
Totally off topic but Dcs crashes are too explodey real crashes are more of a fiery flop and then the fuel lights but in Dcs it just booms convincing from a distance tho and ig that’s kinda to point
It has flares. The controls are just under the collective, you need to turn them on and lift the cover on the collective even if you have a counter measures fire bind on your HOTAS.
@@gabrielneves6602 0:20 shows the set-up th-cam.com/video/Id5s3Hac8H8/w-d-xo.html You'll need to bind "Start Dispensing" in the controls menu. Default is "Insert" on the keyboard.
Belts of .50 and your smaller armament and he shrugged it, why i refuse to even look at helicopters as ground targets unless im hitting them with JDAMS stationary. yes, the hind has tons of armour, and is practically build to be able to handle ground fire, but the damage this bird takes and walks away from is unparalleled to anything ive seen aside from AI damage modeling. I'd expect at the least some structural damage in the tail on his snappy turns or a leak of something other than fuel.
ok if this is an improvement I cant imagine how it was before!!! I just did the trial for it and I cannot fly this thing at all. I can hardly get off the ground and I crashed every time! Just to be clear, I own the Apache, Huey, Hind and Mi8 and can fly them all very well! This thing is a piece of shit!!!
You can always try most aircraft on DCS with a 14 day free trial to see if you like it or not... I would give the Hind a try next. That way you have RED and BLUE team aircraft.
@@DTMCRAZYGAMING I know...but my wife would get mad if i spent three evenings in a row on DCS :D. By the way you can also start from the LHA-1 Tarawa with the Gazelle. There are four slots
@@inf11 REALLY gotta say I didn’t know that… the aircraft was definitely one of the wildest releases to come. Delay, 2 weeks, delay, release in July…… it’s out now!?!? Lol

Its a tank that can fly!
I love Hind hunting with MB-339. However I’ve put zunis on their rotor heads without noticeable damage, so it’s definitely a little too tanky.
@@MaverickCulp it’s bin a while but I gotta that aircraft again! Slow but still fun to fly!

If they were only that tough in Afghanistan.
It's good to see people still having fun in the gazelle. Too many people have been complaining about it instead of trying to enjoy it.
I would agree but not being a real pilot and then see the difference of the aircraft could do before and after the update opened my eyes to see that it did need a lot of help
It was crap before the update...
Very good marksman ship with the cannon, was cool to see you use the scope for IFF.
Yea it definitely was useful. I can understand why it was used for scouting missions
Lmao he cut his pylons off, made him faster and more agile Hind, hind don’t gaf, hind still has cannon
"All he's got is his cannon" - yeah, but it's a Hind. Great vid though, tense.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
I really love what they did with it, I couldn't stand the old FM so it just sat in my hangar.
Helos killing helos feels so wrong :D
But it feels so right! Lol
What server is this?
Enigmas Cold War server

Ohh, how happy would i be if they added yugoslav version of Gazelle with Malyutka ATGM and Strela 2M AA missiles...
Magnifico
Hinds get R60s but yet Gazelles can’t have Mistrals on this server 👎🏻
I’ve talked to Enigma about it…. They would like to but the range you can lock on and how far you can fire is just too much
@@DTMCRAZYGAMING rgr tht but if blufor can’t have them then redfor shouldn’t either , keep it fair .
If your right the hind has a missile that has a +2km range over a banned missile
jesus christ the jousting between you and the hind was fucking spectacular dude! too bad DCS damage model is dogshit. His pilons fell in a single burst yet his tail was made of vibranium!
Totally. I would have to say the HIND needs a dmg rework. Also the Bf109, that thing is a tank with wings!
@@DTMCRAZYGAMING been getting back into dcs after a 3 year absence and just discovered your channel. You got some good stuff going mate.
@@GMetzo TY glad you enjoyed it!
How do your forests look so good? Maybe your contrast is up a lot higher?
I use ReShader... allows me to get the right color correction to what I like while flying
Haha those 50 cals sound like nothing

should we expect to see more gazelle videos in the future????👀👀👀great video either way, keep up the great work my man
Glad to hear you liked the video. Currently I don’t have any plans to make more gazelle videos but it is a highly requested one
good shit as always
Great 💩! I feel 10lbs lighter now that it out! Thank you
+1 1970’s optical system !

It’s like Hollywood standards. You might as well go big or go home since you’re playing the game home you might as well go back.
@@DTMCRAZYGAMING ngl I am confused
Just imagine if that Mi8 falen just over you!
Lol that’s why I pulled away at the last minute
Which server is this on? Enigmas?
That is correct
What mod do you use to make red triangles over targets?
It’s not a mod it’s something I do in postproduction. And make a triangle shape and have a track target. I use adobe editing software to make my vids
nice
May i be misyaken something, but the gazelle doesnt have flare/chaff right? Not even in pods if i revall correctly

Can you do another viggen video?
I could, anything more specific you would like to see? Maybe something I or others haven't showed too much of.
@@DTMCRAZYGAMING can you do some dogfighting like a 2v1 or a large viggen strike escorted by sabres.

I put the fuel around 50% to 60%. Makes a big difference

I like the Gazelle,...but i have no other Helo to compare. I just bought it when it was on sale, just to give it a try.
