I mean, that's how Apache doctrine is like. It's either all hellfires or all hydras and they fly in a 2 ship with one with hydras for short range and one with Hellfires for long range. One distracts while the other shoots. It's incredibly rare nowadays for one to mount both, except in maybe training sorties
Some of my favorite content on your channel has been missions where you're teamed up with Casmo, either as a two ship of Apaches, or with one of you as pilot and gunner. There were a couple where you guys teamed up to crew the Hind together. Those were dope.
A future revision of the Apache will have larger stub wings and result in three weapon stations per wing and upgraded engines. Imagine that performance.
I know it's outside the scope of any DCS video, but much like the "sidearm" I could see a SEAD version of the Hellfire as a defensive measure for armed helicopters.
my oldest son just finished Navy phase 1 pilot training at NAS Corpus Christi…selected for P-8 Poseidon anti submarine/shipping. Any chance we can see a mission incorporating the P-8?
When asking George to scan an area with multiple targets, does he prioritize threats in his list? I'm not familiar with all the threat names of anti air etc yet.
If you’re already slaved to an area, a long hold down will rescan the area without George reslaving. I used to constantly do short up presses before I figured that out.
GROWLING SIDEWINDER, I love your videos brother! I like the fact that you explain things like your movements and the weapons used. Also, the fact that when you use a specific weapon you launch it and move, then you show the actual launch, view of the missiles or chain guns and destruction from that weapon! Then you move on to the next target. I have to say that I love the jets, tanks and other weapon systems out there but the helicopters are my favorites! Could you please do a video on the AH-1 VIPER COBRA GUNSHIP THAT THEY CURRENTLY USE ALSO?! Or do they not have those in DCS at the moment? A video on the AC-130 Gunships would also rock! Destruction from 30,000 feet in the air that they NEVER see coming! ❤🎉😊🇺🇲💪🎇🎆🎯
Great video. I just got into dcs since I treated myself with a quest 3 for xmas. So far learning to fly the A10 while in the trial option. It's been quit the experience, but I noticed I get sick whenever I bank the aircraft around. Was wondering if I should try the apache when my a10 trial ends? Hopefully I won't get so sick learning to fly helo's compared to jets.
Do you find that driveby is the best way to employ the cannon like you did in 7:51? Also I highly suggest learning how to front seat and commanding George to fly.
Is there an option for a hellfire to send it in a straight trajectory and not in a climbing one ? I guess climbing is good if you are behind the cover shoot 6 missiles and then only to come up after some time to lase the targets. And for sure tanks do have less armour on the top but I think there should be an option for near target attack to shoot the hellfire without climbing.
Hi, how do you manage the collective ? i got a HOTAS. should I control the collective with my throttle ? as far as I know the "engine throttle" of a chopper is always full power and in dependency of the collective the chopper sinks or climbs - or am i wrong ^^
TADS? Press the VID button on the MFD and select TADS as the source. You can select wide, medium or zoom on the left hand side and then press TADS on one of the buttons at the top and it will hide all the menus and show the TADS as the gunner sees it with the symbology etc
All AH-64's are Apache's, but not every Apache has the Radar Dome. The dome itself is the AN/APG-78 Longbow radar, which is where the "Apache Longbow" or "Longbow Apache" name comes from. The way I think of it is Apache + Longbow
I identify as an AH-64 Boeing Apache Attack helicopter, fitted with the laser guided AGM-114 Hellfire missile, with an M230 30-mm cannon, and Hydra-70 2.75 inch rockets.

Yo what’s up?
do a ww1 bomber escort video
GS I thought you were gonna roll it over on landing rocked it over on one wheel. Good recovery like the video. Thanks brother keep it up.
Day 6 of asking for some air-to-ground missions in the F-35 Lightning
That landing was more dangerous than the whole mission 😘👌
That landing was a tiny bit scary
I swear that when GS selects his loadout, it's just ALL the Hellfires!

Sweet 16!

Agreed, I absolutely love the heli collabs
10:52 dramatic pause as you almost crash on landing, about to earn a horrible curse of a call sign.....nope, stuck it!
Nice recovery of the "whoopsie" landing there my friend!!!
A future revision of the Apache will have larger stub wings and result in three weapon stations per wing and upgraded engines. Imagine that performance.
that would truly make the chopper even more fearsome. it can hold what, 16 Hellfire's as of now? imagine what it could do with 24
but will it have a boiling vessel and cup holder?
The way you took off and flew away low from the base reminded me of the Desert Strike from Sega Megadrive 😅.
If you try to do it yourself you'll understand that this landing was great !
I know it's outside the scope of any DCS video, but much like the "sidearm" I could see a SEAD version of the Hellfire as a defensive measure for armed helicopters.
16 Hellfires? "Think ya used enough there, Butch?"
someone's gonna have a hell of a bad day
my oldest son just finished Navy phase 1 pilot training at NAS Corpus Christi…selected for P-8 Poseidon anti submarine/shipping. Any chance we can see a mission incorporating the P-8?
fun mission, thank you for the VOD. 🥃🥃
She is a blast to fly. Getting the Lima's was nice and now the FCR. George better get some rest.
Nice video that Apache is a monster
lol it almost sounded like you said, "Buzz these asshats here" lol.
You are the best dcs player
I would love to see a big tank vs tank battle with helicopters duking it out overhead!
When asking George to scan an area with multiple targets, does he prioritize threats in his list? I'm not familiar with all the threat names of anti air etc yet.
He puts AA threats at the top, then armour, then logistics
@GrowlingSidewinder sweet. That's what I assumed, but I wasn't 100% sure. Thanks
You should do a close air support mission in an su-25
Damn, I can remember the good ol' days with Jane's AH64D Longbow on my Pentium 166! 🥲
If you’re already slaved to an area, a long hold down will rescan the area without George reslaving. I used to constantly do short up presses before I figured that out.
You should re-create the opening of Desert Storm and the Apaches who cleared the way
love the apache keep it coming
The apache looks like it flys so smooth like butter. the huey ive been flying around is nowhere near that smooth.
Is there a Cobra Mod? If so, would love to see it.
nice vid. love the delta. 💪🏻🇺🇲🇨🇱
As an apache pilot you're an excellent fixed wing pilot! hahaha
S-O-O-0 satisfying, those guns!
sick landing
Apache vs Frogfoot! Almost there today!
PLEASE recreate the US militaries tests of fixed vs rotary wing air to air combat

I am once again asking you for more Apache content!

Casmo is a former Kiowa pilot I thought. He is friggin' awesome though.
he is both, kiowa and apache
16 one way tickets to a very very warm climate...😂 Barbecue time!

what are the physical hardware you use for the apache? collective stick? what your full setup? i am a beginner
Any chance the 360 Invictus is configured in DCS?
I don’t tend to hover. Hit and run, always moving.
Hey thats my old unit! 12th CAB
Is the Comanche in DCS? Or maybe the longbow Apache?
Apache spreading Freedom 😂
GS is giving a flare show for morale, but he's showing his enemy exactly where the enemy forces are coming from! 😂
Can you do a video from the ka-52s perspective?
Any idea when the Cobra will be in DCS?
Would it be possible to do a Fulda Gap scenario?
Hi, how do you manage the collective ? i got a HOTAS. should I control the collective with my throttle ? as far as I know the "engine throttle" of a chopper is always full power and in dependency of the collective the chopper sinks or climbs - or am i wrong ^^
just an idea but what if the commanche was part of our arsenal !!! what kind of badass it could be!!!
How come you don't use the Longbow variant of this helicopter?
Dude how do you get the camera in the front of the Apache( idk what it’s called) in the back seat? I don’t know how to!!!
TADS? Press the VID button on the MFD and select TADS as the source. You can select wide, medium or zoom on the left hand side and then press TADS on one of the buttons at the top and it will hide all the menus and show the TADS as the gunner sees it with the symbology etc
Thanks bro I’ll try it out when I get power. Tornado hit.
Please do more Apache and A-10 videos
You need to strafe more…😊😂
How stressful was that landing GS?
Day 36 of asking for Cessna 172 vs F-22 Raptor
That would be hilarious. Ramming only?
The cessna is the stealthest aircraft of the world
@@MeerkatADV2nd seat small arms
@@d133710n yes.
F22 vs Paraglider.
Does DCS allow for you to load the AIM-9x, Stinger, or other ATA ordinance like the real Apaches are able to?
Nope not atm. Probably won't be for a long while...
Not going to happen says ED. Stinger has never been on the D variant of the Apache. I think only some export variants have stingers.
Do you have the mission download link?
Like Desert Strike on Amiga from another perspective.
do a ww1 bomber escort video
What's the difference between rifle and pickle?
rifle is an air to ground missile or rocket, pickle is a dumb bomb
Title should be "fox 3 fan boy flying the apache." 16 "fire and forget" hellfires.
yes he should always restrict himself to outdated and obsolete equipment so tom p can say he's not a fanboy
@@Steamthrower1 forgot that's why countries with the 64 still regularly use laser guided hellfires over radar
When will the Apache get radar
Is it always known as the ah64d apache if it doesnt have the radome above the rotor? Or is that specifically the longbow
All AH-64's are Apache's, but not every Apache has the Radar Dome. The dome itself is the AN/APG-78 Longbow radar, which is where the "Apache Longbow" or "Longbow Apache" name comes from.
The way I think of it is Apache + Longbow
Any AH-64D Apache can be fitted with a APG-78 Longbow radar, then it was sometimes called the Apache Longbow.
@@texasabbott @scoutworks thank you both!
@@yaseen157Not all the AH-64Ds (or Es) will have the radar mounted at any given time. They are still D models though.
Hovering steadies your aim but makes you a easy target
No needing for steadiness when u have a stabalized gimbal camera and a atgm that doesn't need additional support after launch
Gun!!!!
but i can't see longbow radar
Hot air balloon vs F22 but the Hab from atc
Hi gs!
Do a bi plane or tri plane vs a-10
Asking for P38 vs. A10.
And that Ladies and germs is how to spend 2.4 million on rockets. And have fun!!
12th CAB flair
Crazy how war thunder won’t allow these
Great video. Gotta work on them landings though 😅
Day 1 of asking for the little bubble canopied chopper from M*A*S*H* versus the F-22 Raptor
I identify as an AH-64 Boeing Apache Attack helicopter, fitted with the laser guided AGM-114 Hellfire missile, with an M230 30-mm cannon, and Hydra-70 2.75 inch rockets.
Sounds Rayciss
You're a strong independent attack helicopter, and I respect you.
@@MightyWeiner YES
@@cre8ive34that’s spelled Raytheon in pretty sure.
How you doin’?
Me109 flaring off fox two please!
I still haven't quite got to the point of asking on every video but I'm getting there!
I see a GS that involves Helo's and it is not a "Two Morons" video, color me confused!
Report to the brass about why you destroyed 50,000 gallons of captured fuel....😂
Why are the videos so short now?!
Day 35 asking for the ME-109 k4 vs the F15C Eagle
Where can we download these missions? They look like a lot of fun!
Day 10 asking for Mig 23 aggressor vs Toxic in a Mig 29 please
F35 vs. Boeing x32
Until this thing get's shot down by an AMRAAM fired from 30km away.
Why not just nuke the site from space?
It's the only way to be sure
haha. You know it
Day 50 asking A10 vs Apache💀💀
Rafale v Eurofighter please.
Day 38 asking for Ka-50 vs F-22 Raptor 😔
Jeffvsf35
Day 18 asking for F4 Phantom II vs F35 Lighting II
Yf23 vs f35
Day 1 of asking for su57 vs Saab jas 39 gripen e
Getting better but you need to work on your pedal coordination.😁
Su25 jumps you…
day ten of asking for WW1 videos
