Hahaha. You were there? After i crashed i saw Fishbed casually landed & then a Hind came checking out the place. I hope i did buy sometime for reds to gain some ground. We must take Hama at all cost! 😂
@Rock88one No, I don't play DCS. Just referring to your nonchalance in just spawn killing them BlueFor players in the video. But LOL at the other MiG and Himd player. Just disrespectful.
Thanks! Once you flown long enough & kinda get a grip of her true capability. You can unleashed hell on enemy. Imagine being a gunship & deploying troops at the same time!
just got the hip last night and even though im struggling to get back into DCS vids like this keep me thinking "one day" kudos to ya who knows might end up flying with you one day
Thanks man, glad you like the videos! I just bought MiG-15 & 19 but the situation forced me to fly the Mi-8 most of the time now. So we gonna see slightly more Mi-8 content.
Hahahaha. I could imagine how they call me out in the blue chat. Some made the wise choice to de spawn once they see me flying around. I would do that too.
@@Rodz88 I’m surprised blue isn’t actively hunting you yet when they see you’re on. You do frontline drops as well right? When 2-3 ‘bluecord’ guys are on, they sometimes make flying chopper for me impossible. They will have 1 guy GCI and send 1-2 for me as soon as I take off. Changing farps doesn’t help and they admit to specifically target me for killing too much frontline and doing the stuff you showed in this vid. Perhaps this vid will earn you enough notoriety to get a dedicated hunting squad as well 😅
@@MorgothNL i think now i should get their attention 😂 i have to admit this is not my first time doing airbase raids. Yes, i do frontline drops a lot, especially at industrial structures & barracks. I enjoy these deep strike sorties. Thanks! To achieve that smooth hover took me LOT of practice to be honest, you do that a lot then you will eventually find the sweet spot of amount rudder & stick input you need to make it happens
at least they all had just spawned lol, can you imagine flying for 20 minutes to the frontline and getting blasted at a friendly airbase while refueling lmfao
Try it! The Hip was my 2nd last heli i bought (i owned all helicopter module) i was initially scare to fly it because i felt it was heavy, sluggish, easy to get into VRS. After been flying it for few months now, boy o boy. I realized her true potential especially in ECW. She is opposite of all the initial impression i had except for VRS, just be careful with it. Im having lot of fun flying the Hip now!
hahahaha. i never thought of so much carnage in that sortie. But i really had to buy some time for the redfor to push. That airfield was bluefor frontline base.
The Mi-H8ful. Love this helo. I just really need to get a grip with VRS. You know those F-5 pilots were pissed. The gun pods kill everything including FPS.
VRS.. That's the only thing that i fear the most. You gotta look out for the sign of VRS about to happens especially when you slow down & airframe start to vibrate, you gotta prepare to add in a bit more cyclic. Oh yes, i would be rage quit if im in their shoes. I know how it feels, but some did quickly de spawn to avoid being slaughter. That was a wise choice. My goal is to deny them using Hama since that is their frontline base that F-5 can take off from.
Great job getting into bluefor airbase, i bet you stir up the hornet nest 🤣 i always do another backup of my trk file. Did your flight happens before the most recent update? If yes, its not your fault, each update will mess up the trk file
@@Rodz88 it was after the update. And stirr up we did. Flew together with a Hipbro. He got rid of all the Sam's and Vulcans. We ended up hovering over Hama for a solid 10 minutes due to insane server lag and because our troops couldnt get rid of the air defenses in one go. There were alot of blue jets in the area and i had 4x R60's with me but for some reason i couldnt shoot them. Hipbro unfortunately clipped his tail rotor on one of the buildings cause of the lag. I then rushed in, dropped my SOF in an attempt to capture the airfield and began cleanup with cannon and gunpods. On my way out i picked up my troops again and fled back to my farp but unfortunately i got downed by one of the F5's i farmed earlier. One of the best sorties i ever had.
Someone had clear the path & actually i did do troop drops leading to the airbase. I only approach it when all defenders are down. By the time i flew on top of the airbase, I think one vulcan left but later it was taken out by my troop drops
That is one of the feature of troops we deployed. Once they done with their mission, they will pop flare to mark their location to you. But be careful, if we can see it, so does the enemy. I was lucky no enemy jet come strafing my ass. HAHAHA
Out of curiosity why do you prefer the Mi-8 over the Mi-24 for combat missions in all your videos? The HIND is more combat capable and can still transport troops. Is it just a personal preference thing and you just have more interest in the Mi-8?
I do fly the Hind. Infact Hind is actually my favourite helicopter. I do have many Hind videos on the mission i made public & some combat footage in Grayflag server. Reason being I choose the Hip instead because of how troop management works in ECW. Only Hip can carry normal troops & 3 squad of troops can deal serious damage to enemy frontline & take out almost all air defenses in a single drop. I couldn't afford to fly Hind & slowly take out 2 Roland SAM & 4 Vulcan AAA in a single ship Hind. It's suicidal.
Thanks man! im using the VKB Gladiator NXT joystick. For helicopter, the rudders are important to have a smooth movement like that. I do not own a rudder pedals at the moment.
Hahahaha. the deployed troops took out the SAMs & AAA then none of bluefor jets come to intercept me. i wont lie that, this is maybe my 10th attempt to reach here & get this result.
The graphics are great man! Especially the sunsets/rises. Also make sure to get Reshade, which makes everything look even better, and to get the Caucasus redone mod, you can also find some very good Reshade presets there too. The mod redoes all of the textures on the map, makes them a bit better and vibrant. These mods don't kill you fps either, I have a RX 480 on custom medium settings and I get around 50fps in single player, and 30-40 on MP. The default ground textures has to be low though so the min requirements aren't a 3090. Another reason for the ground textures being so low is that DCS is really fixed wing focused, and you won't see much of a difference in the ground textures at 10000 ft, and/or at 500 knots, so might as well save performance.
Well said. Yup. I used to have reshade on. The difference is day & night! But my own preset cost me few good FPS, so i stopped using it. I do use the Caucasus terrain mod too, It's freaking beautiful! But sadly it does pass multiplayer Integrity check. For the size of the map, i felt the terrain is pretty good.
@@blackhatch46 it’s not cod, but you should hold it to a higher standard. Don’t cheerlead, point out that it’s an old engine that needs a big update, they have the money to do it, I’ve spent over a thousand alone. Many others have too. They have the capital to fix this garbage
Hahaha! Yeah! I was distracted with everything exploding around me, the Hip went into VRS, tried to recover but its too late. Well, it was a fun sortie. I gotta stop anyway else my ass will get roasted for spawn killing
Im gonna get a lot of roasting by Bluefor guys if they see this video
and celebrated by Red.
Was cackling at you just leisurely flying back and forth farming BlueFor as they spawn. I can imagine their frustration. 😂😂
Hahaha. You were there? After i crashed i saw Fishbed casually landed & then a Hind came checking out the place.

@@Rodz88 yeah I just got the hind module from the sale I’m exited to use it on enigma
@@startourzdcs I will move on to do Hind video hopefully, Hind was my go-to helicopter before the Hip

@Rock88one Those are fun but difficult. We need to fly helos together!
@@blackhatch46 Sure! just ping me on the chat if you see my name in the server
Love it when they just keep spawning at the same field they died at 10 sec ago 🤷🏼♂️. And in blue chat you’ll see like ‘he’s still there!’

i appreciate the use of modern warfare (OG) soundtracks, very nice !
When your gunpods are the best defensive weapon out there. Always when you shot them the server freezes and no one can hit you.😂😂😂
at least they all had just spawned lol, can you imagine flying for 20 minutes to the frontline and getting blasted at a friendly airbase while refueling lmfao
This makes me want to try out the Hip, looks pretty nice!
Never new that was a thing! - 1:47

@@Rodz88 Will do!
That was impressive work comrade
Call of duty Shock and Awe soundtrack nice
I think BlueFor needs to think about air defence next time, lol.

@@Rodz88 yo man Is there an editor in DCS similar to Arma editor? Like a 3d One? Or you can Just have a "map*/2d editor?
@@blackfalco33 sadly the 2D editor is all you have in DCS. So placing object can bit a pain in the ass for mission maker

Daaaamn that is cool to see. Savagery.
Absolute madlad. Also nice maneuverkill on the a10. As a Hind pilot i tip my fedora to you
5:02 Cod modern warfare 4 Helicopter rush scane
Those call of duty soundtracks are an incredibly awesome detail
Oh yes, i loved the Modern Warfare soundtracks really set in the mood and atmosphere
ur really good at the mi-8
Thanks man!
Landing and switching to the gunner! Pure goon shit! Love it!

The carnage! 😄
Good job. Do you get credit for the kills if the plane is on the ground, or despawns out of butthurt?
Wicked.
Mi-8 best fighter confirmed?
poor people down there...
hahaha this is epic man
Revisiting this after i raided the same airfield with the hind. Killed 2 viggens, 2 A10's and a couple F5's. Also trying to make a video out of it
nvm i fucked my trk file

Excellent! But for the love of christ LftCntrl+LftShft+Y gets rid of that hideous, immersion breaking envelope.

Looks like late 90’s ground graphics
IMO it is still ok for such huge map.
They need to improve the graphics in this sim. The planes look great but the earth is garbage
Probably due to the map size. This isn't COD.
