Heli PvE is pretty fun. AA is challenging if you don't have guided ammunition, but you can use terrain for cover, unless the map is flat...and there's at least one flat map in rotation. They should remove it. Anyway, covid is running away from, so the next video won't take this long ;)
@@weeirdos8171 well, thankfully they gave the magic school bus a stock loadout with 2xATGM in it along with some rockets. If you have a good enough luck with positioning, the firepower this thing has can make it quite efficient and it is pretty good relatively to other "reserve" helis.
Few people dont know that after you cap A you need to land in your base (helibase) to complete the task. If you press M after caprturing you can see the task of landing.
Real Gs know that you can just J out while landed at the cap point, and respawn at the base for minimal SL cost. This will immediately fail the task, but you still get the points for it.
The biggest problem with heli pve is that is that at greater distances (>3km) the *moving* tanks don't render where their hitboxes are. They sometimes fly in the air if they're going over the hill. So it's frustrating without fire and forget missiles at the lower
@@valeralishko8125 i ground my tiger UHT with the premuim Bo-105 and the techtree mi-24 before PvE existed in PvP, it was the 'rona time and had no job at the time, but it was actually worse than having to grind through 3 sabres to get something useful in the german plane tree
yeah we call it aberration in cosmology! I sniped and destroyed the bases with stock helis out of range from falcons('manned' ballistics) but have to watch out the rolands over 9.7 :) Plus, Mi-4 the ruslan potato is terribly awfully terrible....
For the very first time, watching Dollar struggle in a helicopter, I have the impression of having a not so bad level on the game. Thank you for your sacrifice Dollar :')
Heli PvE on its early inception was a damn fun way to stock grind your helis before Gaijin found you you can have fun in the mode so they nerf the hell outta base destruction xp(before it was way,WAY bigger).Nowadays it is better if you just hunt down enemy convoys or if you have AT missiles,hunt down enemy AAs. For base AA,if you have Hellfires/Vikhr,stay afloat at 7.5 km from base aa and brrrt those missiles away because fun fact,enemy AA missiles cannot yeet you above 7.5 km. Its fun with friends. edit:oh yeah,AH-1 series is the most fun one out of heli stock.Once you have 40mm,you gonna be terrorizing the shit outta those convoys.
I don't even play games....I just love your humor and personality....the edits and action movie cuts are top notch as well....keep being awesome Dollar and I will keep enjoying your content...
helis with angled hardpoints are the hardest to use the cockpit sight for, helis with level hardpoints to the chassis like the Hueys are the easiest to aim with the cockpit sight, regardless though IMO cockpit aiming dumb fire rockets in helis is the best and far better than the 3rd person rocket marker.
And you can put it in hover above convoy after you kill AA and just use gun or if you set it straight over convoy, you can hold C, gun aims in free look too.
Ty for playing heli PvE it's my favorite :D Extremely fun rocketing everything to pieces Thx for sharing it to more people so everyone can experience the fun and semi-free xp!!!
Yup, discovered this mode thanks to this video. Big fun of "apache air assault" and this looks like a good substitute. How one can get into it the fastest and at least somewhat cheap way?
@@RMMinc first ya gotta have a helicopter so whatever nation that has one and then have at it All nations require you have a 7.0 br air or ground vehicle to buy a heli unless it's premium, so there isn't necessarily an easiest one unless you pick a nation with less stuff on the tech tree I'd say americas first heli is probably the best first helicopter in my opinion. Until hellfires they have probably the worst range for their ATGM's but their helicopters are maneuverable and fast and if you get good with rockets or their nade launchers it's really fun and gives excellent XP!
@@DOLLARplays dont be sad, man! we all suffer stock helis. I was 2 years playing russian helicopter techtree without premium account and last month i finish grind the ka52.
Heli PVE was the first thing I did when I got the fire and forget AGMs for the tiger UHT. Probably the easiest way to farm SL. Also kinda satisfying to destroy all the AA in a convoy.
I got a perfect 8/8 killfeed with the PARS and I could watched all the atgms just being perfectly synchronized. It was like rain coming down on the tanks and then there was a target destroyed sound every 1 sec. It was the most beautiful thing I ever saw
@@Sprutky Yeah, that happens too, the perfect 12/12 are usually against AT guns waves, since the gepards and guns die in 1 hit 99% of the time and are stationary. Much harder to achieve against convoys, since as someone said above, at longer ranges the game sucks at rendering them, and renders models away from their hitboxes, and Vikhrs lock onto models, unlike the PARS which lock onto hitboxes.
im not much of a heli pilot in WT, but i got myself few long test flights of premium mi24 for bonds and i have one good advice for begginers: when flying fast, lower the "colector" slightly before any turns, when engaging tanks; also pay atention to the color of "RPM" on left and " vertical acceleration" on right side.
Sitting at work during my lunch break and watching this video. My Coworkers were looking at me weird because I had a constant giggle for nearly two minutes when you tried to kill that french Tank (14:04-1550). MY FLOWER ARE BEAUTIFUL!!! 🤣 And then the "You speka english" after you stumbled over your words. Some people would cut it out, but you make the best joke out of it. I love it! English is not my native language and it feels so relatable.
Great stuff Dollar! Good to see you getting some flight time in too. Good to see you got through your "health challenge" in good order man! You sound better than most folks who've just gotten through with it. Stay safe and Stay healthy!
Hey Dollar, I've been looking forward to a video like this. You even went in with my favorite helicopter with which I already made around 780 kills in PvE. The gamemode was easier but the AAs got a buff in the Danger Zone update. Anyways I love your videos and keep making the fantastic content! ;D
Tip for the AH-1G and others with rockets, set a key bind for your rockets to be sent out in a barrage instead of individually. You wont have to spam the button for your rockets. You can even remove the key bind for your rockets and set it to fire rocket barrage in the controls settings. Then in a match you can change the number of rockets fired in a barrage. When holding down your key bind for the rocket barrage, it'll spam the rockets instead of you spamming the key to spam rockets
yeah while it suffers from lack of ATGM for SPAA counter in this mode, its also faster and carries much more payload than the majority of starter helis for other countries. Esp some of the hueys that only get 14ish of those hydra rockets.
this video is the reason why i give my heli a try aigan... i do love low flight with anti armor canons... but its not suited for multiplayer. so, thanks for that video as reminder!
That looked like fun! Well, after the computer problems and the flu and more computer fun... But you sure know how to put entertaining videos together. Thanks, Brother.
I recently discovered this game mode too. it is pretty fun for grinding SL without all that stress of a normal random battle. If it weren't for that "random" spawning of 5 Gepards right under you for no effing reason
Yes! They DID finally fix the decal scaling! I can actually use my regular sizing system for all my vehicles again, thankfully. Had it all planned out and it worked perfectly on damn near every tank, and now it's back to normal. Had to go back and resize all the ones I had to vaguely estimate in the meantime, but it was worth it.
@@DOLLARplays There were benefits to the precision you could get with the bugged scaling, but it took forever, and I was tired of guessing the correct sizes I needed. Maybe I'm just weird, one of the few people who puts effort into historical decals.
My favorite part in Heli PvE is, when the AA spawns directly below you ._. Nice to see you taking to the air again Dollar ;) I wonder what will come next, keep up this amazing work :D
1:43 I find that the new customization with resizing decals and placing decorations has been totally broken. Like the decorations spawn backwards and often spaz out when you move them around the vehicle to places no where near the cursor. And the decals being so quick to resize means that precise sizes is really annoying. I had decals placed before they changed it and then when I tried placing new ones at the same size I find that the size doesn’t match, like they cut out the finer sizes and it just jumps sizes as your scroll wheel moves. To get specific sizes you have to either make it as small as possible and then bring the size back up, or make it as big as possible and then resize it down. That way you can get the different sizes that were cut out of the original scroll. I hope that made sense. So yeah it’s good for memers that want the decal as huge as possible to cover the tank and who take 5 seconds tops to finish customizing. But for someone who wants a precise size and placements it’s fucking horrible.
Heli PvE is pretty fun. AA is challenging if you don't have guided ammunition, but you can use terrain for cover, unless the map is flat...and there's at least one flat map in rotation. They should remove it.
Anyway, covid is running away from, so the next video won't take this long ;)
Heli PvE may be fun if you don't start with russian stock heli ;)
Good to see you'r better bro! cheers from Brasil!

Oh yes 😭
Yea lol 💀
It was so much fun to play helicopter pve with rocket pods before they removed the Crusader AAs and replaced them with Gepards and Shilkas :/
I can imagine
The only vehicles I use in first person are helis. Its a lot of fun when you get the hang of it.
Wish more cockpits would be misled tho
With the joystick, and tobii head tracker(if wt supports it) would be even better 😉
@@DOLLARplays you should colab with Bruce Leroy, he is amazing with helis

You can use hover mode on helicopter, that will make your landing easier (assign button for hover mode)
The second time I did it, I used "hover mode"

would be great for cas planes that suck in air battles
Hello Dollar, in my Opinion you make the best WarThunder Vids on RUclips
Heli PVE was the first thing I did when I got the fire and forget AGMs for the tiger UHT. Probably the easiest way to farm SL. Also kinda satisfying to destroy all the AA in a convoy.
I would absolutely love it to get the UHT with PARS but I still need to grind through the Bo 105 PAH 1A1 with the Mi-24P HFS-80 and it's so slowwwwww
I got a perfect 8/8 killfeed with the PARS and I could watched all the atgms just being perfectly synchronized. It was like rain coming down on the tanks and then there was a target destroyed sound every 1 sec. It was the most beautiful thing I ever saw
@@Sprutky I get perfect 12/12 killfeeds (but in longer intervals, like 2-3s) with Vikhrs all day all night in this mode.
@@Rumcajs981 I usually get 10/12 because somehow the last tank always takes 3 hits. Interesting to see how this will be after the nerf
@@Sprutky Yeah, that happens too, the perfect 12/12 are usually against AT guns waves, since the gepards and guns die in 1 hit 99% of the time and are stationary.

I dont play i just open a victory bet join 10 heli games and leave and stop playing

Edits on point, as usual :)
Seeing dollarplays fly is rarer than me having fun in top tier
You could always resize decals. It helps to have an unlocking scroll wheel that spins really fast, like Logitech makes them.
I love this sound and AAAAA from the rockets. 😂
This mode remind me of Heliborne a fun helicopter game and that intro was just top tier.
