As a career OH-58D Kiowa Warrior pilot, I must say you fly the DCS KW like we did IRL. Well, not the crashing part, but the low level NOE flying. And yes, we did use our M4s frequently.
What conflicts was this used in and by what country? I keep seeing comments about pilots of these things shooting at people on rooftops and I want to learn more about this thing
@@rod2662 First deployed into the Vietnam War. The US Army would make extensive use of various OH-58 models across numerous war zones over the decades, seeing active combat during the Gulf War, the Invasion of Panama, and the War in Afghanistan among others. During 2017, the US Army opted to withdraw its remaining OH-58s, making use of alternative rotorcraft such as the Apache and Lakota
In Afcrapistan my infantry company had the biggest slap in the face by our commander. We had a dude shooting at us from a couple hundred meters away…an easy shot for most infantry guys. Instead of letting us shoot the dude he calls in the Kiowas, who weren’t even in the air yet. It takes them about 30mins to get to our position and then they come in shoot the dude with their M4’s. Couldn’t believe it. It was awesome to see, it just came at the expense of realizing our CO didn’t trust us to use our basic weapons.
@Zargabaath if you're taking fire from a dude who is only a couple miles away your position is already given away. Calling in a Kiowa for cas will draw even more attention. I trust Ryan sounds like his CO was a nonce
Back when I was in, my unit used to be a Kiowa unit right before I got there and changed to a shadow platform. Hearing stories about the pilots hanging out of the helicopter to shoot M4’s at dudes on rooftops were always awesome.
just keep in mind, the new updates make helis that fly too low, visable due to the smoke/water/dust your rotors throw around. ive noticed anywhere between 20 to 50ft is optimal, below or above makes for easy pickings. thats worked for me with the apachy, no idea about the kiowa
I can never seem to get up to speed like that. Also, my hand over from AI to pilot is always a disaster. Especially when transitioning from a AI hover.
Make sure you don’t take too much fuel, stay below the weight limit. If you want to get to a fast cruising speed, increase collective and monitor your torque, leave it around 92ish percent. That should be providing a lot of lift, so you just need to give some forward stick to dip your nose and accelerate. From neutral trim, you’ll need a good bit of forward stick to fight the lift being generated and stay low and fast. Slowing down from speed is a whole other can of worms. To smooth out the hand over, make sure you have your control display toggled on in DCS, RShift+Enter, it will show you where he’s got the collective and cyclic at so you can try to match it. To make it safer, more altitude and speed. If you have altitude and forward speed, you can probably recover pretty easily from whatever oscillation you have at first. From a hover, you have more ways to eat it.
so did tbe F/A-18. But you wouldn’t let F-18s in your ‘60s and ‘70s Cold War server so I don’t know why the Kiowa (with laser guided hellfires) Is on it.
@@mikeck4609 They evaluate each model independently to see if it will upset the server balance or add to the game play. Plus overall the avionics of the Kiowa are still rather modest. I imagine when the C-130 comes out it may also feature on the server because there is currently no era equivalent but a large tactical transport role is sorely missing in DCS overall.
if this is in ECW which it looks like it is, then there should be no issue of stream snipers. too much going on and anyone good enough to have the landscape memorized to match up to his stream wouldn't be relying on stream sniping to get kills
@@cleverlaziness if it was a player that received intel in game and flew out on mission to defend the airfield then good kill, if that's someone who saw the stream and lobby id and decided to hop on the game, that's a poor sport right there.
They have talked about high fidelity tanks and stuff, but the main issue they said is we'd need full fidelity maps to go with it which as you can imagine we are a long way from
I'm late to the party but I really love this module but for some reason all my track files and replay files are corrupt when trying to pull them off multiplayer servers.
Friend of mine asked me to teach him to fly on ARMA one night. Picked up went ripping out of the airfield and flew into a set of wires. Never played pilot on the computer again. Still fly every day but not on the computer
@Devildoggamer So what’s going on with GZW did you guys just give up on it because of people complaining or are you still working on it I’m a huge fan of gzw I’m hoping I’m wrong but I don’t see content creators making any content for it please respond on this
That damn noise at that power setting sounds like a kid making the noise with his mouth. I literally lose all fkn focus and cannot stop thinking about my autistic ass self making similar noises as a child. Of course, mostly at very inappropriate times 🤣

The ability to aim a gun out the window is literally the most pointless function in dcs i can think of . your in a helicopter just pedal turn an fire .also you will never get close enough to AI to use the gun before they headshot out of the cockpit an we don't have player infantry. could of spent the time on sound quality an texture quality Not worth $70 of anybody's money im sorry fanbois but you got ripped, maybe price in the lower helicopter price range where it belongs , refunded, no regrets

@@thegamerhi1801Thanks!
If you paid for the M4, you use the M4. It would be a crime not to use it. Just like nukes, just wasted money sitting there getting dusty.

@Zargabaath giving away a position once you've been actively engaged is a pretty moot point. The Commander wanted to see something go boom.

The Kiowa, call sign Sheamus, Banshee and Longknife, got us out of a few jams in Kandahar. I love Yankee airpower. 🇨🇦🇨🇦

@@messer81thanks man! That’s a big help!
Reading this encouraged me to never play this game. Seems hella hard. I can fly helicopters in bf4 but this seems above my paygrade. @messer81

A Kiowa D variant on Cold War servers?

@@rossfthurston21 ok. makes sense.
@@rossfthurston21 Then limit the armament to Gun and Rockets only and the Kiowa can fly there. But Hellfire and Stingers are a bit much.
devil...try delaying your stream for a few minutes then where you are currently in the game and see if that works against the stream snipers

Boooooo mi24. Stream snipers are such losers.
he was warned like 5 minutes before it got there and just stayed in the same spot
redfor also have gci, also ppl will call out that theres a heli spawn camping the airfield lol
But spawn campers aren't losers?

How do you pick up (see) those aircraft off in the distance? Is there a best setting to make them stand out more??
the laugh at 4:40 is 100% me anytime i get a kill in dcs
The Kiowas Engine sounds like its purring like a cat
Aerial drive-bys = peak DCS
Is this on ECW? Been gone for a hot minute doing Army stuff. But really want to grab this module just curious if Enigmas has incorporated it.
10:50 looked like the start of a boss fight goes hard with armored core music
This game would beat games like Arma if they brought in combined Land and Sea combat (controlling infantry, armour etc).
I wish bro...
you can, infact, do that, but most servers dont support it
They have combined arms but it doesn't get much love, I wish it did. Imagine Arma like gameplay it'll make maps more busy.
They have talked about high fidelity tanks and stuff, but the main issue they said is we'd need full fidelity maps to go with it which as you can imagine we are a long way from
its kinda ironic how the maps already look better than Squad maps.
Can a 5.56 even penetrate jet fighter armor?
This is the funniest thing I've seen on DCS in a long time
Guy moans about Cold war radars while shooting Hellfires from a Kiowa Warrior that didn't have weapon pylons until 1992.
I'm late to the party but I really love this module but for some reason all my track files and replay files are corrupt when trying to pull them off multiplayer servers.
Awesome videos! Love your DCS content! What map/terrain is this?
What head tracking are you using ? I’m just starting to research them and not sure what everyone likes.
how does it handle compared to the UH1? thinking about getting it
How you setting head tracking?
Are you moving your game head with your head ?
It's some version of trackir
I saw casmo mention the roll is a little sensitive. I set my curves to -5 on the roll axis and it's substantially lowered my snap back roll overs lol
Is that a mod using the m4?
No
I really want to get the kiowa, but im not getting any mkre modules until the strike eagle gets updates
do you aim with the mouse like an FPS?
Friend of mine asked me to teach him to fly on ARMA one night. Picked up went ripping out of the airfield and flew into a set of wires. Never played pilot on the computer again. Still fly every day but not on the computer
0:32 equivalent of drive by paintballing people's cars then run away.
it's not doing a lot of damage but someone's gonna have to clean it up lol
How do you get your eye tracking so smooth!!
Star Citizen, Tactical shooters, DCS, sponsored by CCW holster brand... Subscribed Excited to see some of your content
Thanks for posting this! Cant believe I just saw it.
Imagine doing this as a squad of 10 😂 it'd be an absolute menace on a server
what head tracker do you use?
It looks like he's using trackir. He has the headset attached tracker on.
yeah it loooks like TrackIR with ProClip
Infantry guns in dcs?
haha good vid. Had flashbacks to BF2 base r@ping lol.
we had a Kiowa support us in kandahar he shot at the rooftops with hid M$ and a mag full of tracers
that hind looks super badass coming for the Kiowa 😎
what server is this exactly?
Remember when you streamed and shot down friendlies with a 9x for flying near you?
Spawn trapping in DCS? Never thought I'd see the day...
first time?
I can't understand a single thing the robo-voice says. Is that supposed to be the copilot?

Do a tutorial on the m4. I cannot get mine to work unless I'm on F2
