Drewski, you're the reason I got into milsims, and ever since I've started, I've loved every op, thank you for your content! Keep up your amazing content!
I will say for future marine RP ops, most UH-1’s will never be alone. They will always be accompanied by AH-1’s for the exact reason we saw in the video. Love the work though, great to see
Yep the Marines hold UH-1s and AH-1s in the same squadrons, and both aircraft have a large amount of interchangeable parts. Also if you really want to go for realism, hueys will always have side gunners, and use them heavily in offensive operations. Also hueys don't use forward facing mini guns, only rockets.
I didn't even realise that you could use thermals in the utility helicopter like that so the pilot can have targets spotted for him that's so cool I'll have to try it out.
Hey Drewski, I've been following your content for a long time, and I just wanted to give you a tip about the engine damage. If the ENG status is showing red, this mean it is heavily damaged, and there is only a few percent remaining before it died if you get hit again. *However !* To see if your engine is still running and still providing power or not, the engine status ( the one showing if it is on or off under the *ATRQ* ) will stay on if you're engine is still running, and will turn off automatically if it doesn't provide any power at all ! Hope I could help you a little ! Love your job mate, keep it up !
I appreciate that you were able to pull back, chat with someone about the hydra's (Which honestly is frustrating having used them myself. I mean if you've got unguided, at least throw SOMETHING where they'll hit yeah?) and get something that is not only more usable for the sake of the op, but also more fun. Rock on Drewski!
One of the coolest thing about milsim (especially arma) is seeing how certain long standing tactics and strategies used IRL could become obsolete in modern combat scenarios, as well as how new tech can change the battlefield entirely.
I don't usually mind inaccuracies in video games. Things like an AAV that actually floats, a dude storming a beach with a stinger, and someone firing an m240 unsupported are a non-issue because video games can be fun and don't have to be perfectly realistic. That all being said, the Marines in the back of the AAV with beards sent me into a fit of rage I can't rationally explain.
Playing with y'all would be a dream for me. I love playing sims but I don't have anyone to play with and I'd rather do so with people who would at least play for more than 20 minutes and take it somewhat - 100% serious. Edit: I am an ATC for the Army and I was previously a 19K. A Tanker. so if y'all ever think you'll need someone for ATC or a Tanker then I'm all for it.
I've got a few videos on my channel of the group I play with; we've got a pretty decently sized 19K section as well. We just did a massive Desert Storm OP a week ago
Went balls deep into MikeForce because of Drewski's OP:PF videos and it was incredible, I've also played Halo Milsim; but I have yet to find a modern military milsim group.
Loved the video @OperatorDrewski! Can't wait for the next video man! The Helicopter you flew for most of he video is called the AW159 Wildcat. It's the most current version of the Westland Lynx that the British Forces use.
Ngl they dominated as far as strategy and communication goes but the overall execution and individual performances in combat as far as techniques and tactical engagements go could have been far improved. Overall though another great video hope you all had fun! Keep up the great content man! Also, very impressive aircraft handling !
drewski plus teacher drewski action... nice. i like the instructions you give.. lets us know what you are thinking also. you know cuz many of us dont know what you are tyrying to do besides kill the bad guys.
Drewski, I really wonder, could you do a mission w/AI on both sides? Like 20 people and 20 AI defending, in a "D-Day" remake, where 100+people and another 100+ AI were doing amphib landings?
The optics were fine theres 2 sets of crosshairs and the one thats offset is superimposed onto the target so you just need to line them up and it wouldve been accurate. Just ignore the Arma2 HUD thing thats just part of the model
Drewski, you should come play with 1st Marine Division, we currently host 60 man operations with air, Light armor recon, Logistics, indirect, and infantry.
Hey drew I know you do a lot of realistic stuff in arma, but personally I feel like you would kinda enjoy starsim, it's a lot of chaos but also much fun
Those hits to the windshield and the silence: "Co-pilot might be injured or dead"
Looks over : Dead asf "Yup"
Didn't even report his status or the loss of his copilot either.
Drewski, you're the reason I got into milsims, and ever since I've started, I've loved every op, thank you for your content! Keep up your amazing content!
I think you speak for alot of people here, including me
I got into milsim but I'm too poor to afford arma or anything, so I'm here being a third party like many others.
Same here man! Drewski is the reason I started flying in Arma3 and in DCS!! :D
Does anyone know the name of the intro song?
@@cripplettv1309 well there is project reality

Of course. It's all about adapting to the wants of the players and the player counts in the end.
@@Andrew-mi6wn 85% interchangeable
We’re primarily changing assets from op to op based on player counts. More for balance > realism

i'm all for this increase in arma content. keep it up!
With Arma 4/ Reforger already on the way, drewski is already doing a little bit of Foreshadowing of what type of content we should be expecting
Agree! :)
@@veronicacampos1294 You read me like a book! hehe

Oooh thanks! 4000 hrs in and i’m still learning LOL
@@OperatorDrewski Haha, your welcome !
it's always awesome playing Squad with Fu on comms, the tone he has makes it so immersive lol
Its Arma, not Squad
Saved our lives multiple times. Thanks for the air cover Cubby 🤙🏻

I finally found the intro song
We all bleed the same, son - Splasher
Great video anyway, love the realistic combat you put on this.!

Where can I play roleplay games like this? I can never find them
@@sixzenprime4617 I wish I knew I have the same problem haha

Crazy
Ur a weeb anyways
V1/4 especially appreciates amphibious vehicles that float!
What if they all had religious exemptions? 🤔

I feel your pain... looking for some cool people to play pretend military with is hard
I have a master mind solution, play together
I’ve run an arma 3 zeus community for around 3 years. Hosted by veterans for veterans. Message me if you would like to take part.
@@foyledsoul706 You're the kind of guys that made our community strong. Keep up my brother. And keep on Helping those in need.

johnny does wonders on the ground great reporter wish he could've stay the whole op
I love how a British machine (wildcat) comes galloping to the rescue ....... I'll dive for cover now.
I love that you also have a camera man perspective as well top tier content!
Am I really seeing this? When the left seat pilot in the Huey talks, his in-game character moves his lips. Some incredible coding in this game.
That wildcat is the UK helicopter - basically a modern lynx one of the fastest combat helis ever
More arma! Thanks for the content Drewski!
Agree!
I love the company sized group of dudes with one boat and one helicopter sieging a prisoner camp
With how big the map is, it feels like Battlefield
The little bit of radio chatter at 9:35 had me chuckling.
*PTSD from Paramarine Taskforce floods back in*
I just want to say drewski makes some sick intros
_"Marines Around the world will gives they left nuts to be where you are"_
6:58
Drewski, whenever you zoom out you can see crosshairs on the huey hud and those rockets hit exactly there they were aimed at.
neat.
I like that the video cuts before the APV starts violently spinning.
Watching this & then in the middle of the vid hearing a real huey fly over shaking my house is such a vibe.
25:37 THE TITANFALL REFERENCE YESSS
6:58
Rockets: goes exactly where aimed at
Drewski: gosh....this rockets suck
Went balls deep into MikeForce because of Drewski's OP:PF videos and it was incredible, I've also played Halo Milsim; but I have yet to find a modern military milsim group.
The trick to using the UH-1Y Venom gunship is to NOT use the flip out HUD. I absolutely love that heli.
Amazing ending to a awesome mission, what a vid!
Not gonna lie the Intro was the coolest Intro i have ever seen in this whole Video
Love your vids man!
Whoever the guy was with call sign “ dynamo “ sounds like one of my SSgts xD
thats Fu
28:40 I don't know about the U.S. but in the Canadian military "repeat" means "fire on my position" 😆 Don't know why though
That crash landing in the beginning was epic, the callouts man
8:58 that Tokyo helicopter drift tho
I can’t wait for reforger to reach this level of fun
“Flying form the poor people side of the helicopter”
“Lets go”
Damm that was sick great video and everything
Intro gold
So close to 1.5 milion man hope you get there soon
Sight works ok on YH-1 it's just because of TrackIR marker for rockets far off your vision. (if it's RHS one, CUP one never tested)
Love the arma content. You introduced arma to me, so thank you for that.
Now this is true military team work
Ok so that opening montage has got to be the best I’ve seen for arma
POV: my grandpa storming the beaches of Normandy
Keep up the awesome work Drew, and keep kicking ass!
Loved the video @OperatorDrewski! Can't wait for the next video man! The Helicopter you flew for most of he video is called the AW159 Wildcat. It's the most current version of the Westland Lynx that the British Forces use.
Arma 3 to this day is in 3rd place of my favorite games
Ngl they dominated as far as strategy and communication goes but the overall execution and individual performances in combat as far as techniques and tactical engagements go could have been far improved.

Man I love watching videos early, maybe if more people subscribed to operatordrewski on twitch or supported him on patreon you could too!
drewski plus teacher drewski action... nice. i like the instructions you give.. lets us know what you are thinking also. you know cuz many of us dont know what you are tyrying to do besides kill the bad guys.
Amazing ground footage !!!
Could've said the Royal Marines are providing air support because the Wildcat/Hellcat looks like the Lynx Ah.7
But the Royal Navy uses the wildcat anyway. The Lynx was replaced with it.
Cheers to JohnnyOmaha for the ground footage!
Wildcat is British. Also, Id use Blue smoke for LZ's. Red is usually to mark enemy.
Watching thoes heli videos always makes me wanna play Arma myself
Drewski, I really wonder, could you do a mission w/AI on both sides? Like 20 people and 20 AI defending, in a "D-Day" remake, where 100+people and another 100+ AI were doing amphib landings?
Helicopter crash was so dramatic 😂😂
That thumbnail is gorgeous
4:08 is that devildoggamer 😅
34:45 American Fighting against Americans 😂
Holy for a newer pilot your co-pilot did awesome! Pass on a kudos!
A Venom or Zulu Cobra would be so damn cool in DCS…
The optics were fine theres 2 sets of crosshairs and the one thats offset is superimposed onto the target so you just need to line them up and it wouldve been accurate. Just ignore the Arma2 HUD thing thats just part of the model
That looks sick
Intro is Epic
Name of the intro song anyone??
Wish I can take part in events like this
Drewski, you should come play with 1st Marine Division, we currently host 60 man operations with air, Light armor recon, Logistics, indirect, and infantry.
If you had the option to turn back time and become a fighter pilot, would you? And if so, what branch and what plane?
Just needed to Greg Kinnear it. lol. I need to try out these types of missions.
Drewski doesnt miss with those intros!
Loving this Arma content!
Agree!
Awesome video Drewski.
More of this asap
That was pretty sick
The same JohnnyOmaha that used to do Squad Twitch streams?
It'sa me!
@@JohnnyOmaha Used to watch your streams all the times.
@@Texshy Aw! I'm hoping to get back into it, but having too much fun with this Arma crew!!
love these videos
Lol in my head i pronounced johnnyomaha like Johnny Oh Maw Haw....then it hit me that it was Omaha lololol
Yeeeeeee HAWWWW
Anyone know what map this is?
Maksniemi, I think
Yeeahh Arma is baaack
love the AAV action
It's been a while but that Hellcat is very familiar.
You could tell everything was gonna go to hell when you saw the LCS.
I’m about to finally get a computer that will run arma well (arriving next weekend) but I’m super excited to try out some community operations
5 meters of dispersion!LOL
Hey Drewski, you should play operation harsh doorstop
wow calling a wildcat a huey, way to make the entire British isles annoyed
it hurt my soul.
I wish i could have fount the arma servers you play on man it looks so awesome
Lots of ArmA Content over the last weeks...
Hey drew I know you do a lot of realistic stuff in arma, but personally I feel like you would kinda enjoy starsim, it's a lot of chaos but also much fun
Cool Video can anyone tell me what map that is that they are playing on?
Wildcat is used by the brittish army and Royal navy should give it a look on TH-cam
Would of loved to see you get a Sea Rescue then whisked to the action.
Just curious for those who have actual experience in their careers. Are most amphibious landings, opposed landings?
Not since Dday! A hard earned lesson. It's best not to assault a beach if the enemy are there.
what mod changes the interaction menu to the one where you have to look around?
Love you Drewski
That was badass
