AH-1 Cobra / War Thunder

[@Khyber_1]

Fun Fact: Pakistani AH-1F and AH-1S are modified to carry the Bhaktar Shikan/HJ-8 ATGM (With C-NITE Thermals) and were extensively used in United Nations Peacekeeping Operations in African missions like Somalia, Sierra Leone etc. And also against militants on the Afghan border. Pakistan has used the Cobra more than the Japanese TBH, it deserved to be mentioned in this video.

[@Biznatski]

they mentioned the Japanese cobra because they had to sell the premium lol it wouldn't be far fetched to say that this whole video was a advertisement for the AH-1S Kisarzu

[@mahdiadib9295]

[@kocayrklibirinsan3056]

gaijin please!!!

[@leilanz8325]

The reason probably is gunner focus. The drop of the 40mm grenades is far shorter than the minigun, and the aiming reticle only works for the minigun. So if you had the stream of bullets flying and a smoke line falling behind the stream, you'd miss the grenades...

[@StruggleGaming]

Love how the Huey is the progenitor but the Cobra is the starter helicopter in the US tree so you go from decent helicopter to an older worse helicopter, then that older helicopter with guided rockets. Kinda ass backwards.

[@WerZocktGames]

Whole game is backwards. Top tier Russian mbt T80bvm is from 2014, while they fight against american mbt from the 90s and 80s. Cant let russia slip under that 70%+ wr on top tier xaxaxaxaxa

@@WerZocktGames well it's a good tank but honestly the fact that gimped western tanks from the 80-90's hold their own against a tank from 2014 kind of shows how much russia fell behind.

[@maplearrow1842]

Ever since I laid my eyes on the Viper in Battlefield 4, I knew it would be my all-time favourite attack helicopter. Imagine my reaction when I realized it was in the game! I don’t own a premium helicopter, but I still managed to research the ah-1f and I’m a third through with the ah-64a. As soon as I’m done, I’ll definitely research the ah-1z, it lacks a few features like irst, protection and the flexible turret isn’t as good against ground targets but it can carry 16 hellfires ( instead of the 8 with the first apache ) when carrying aim-9L’s and it has to be one of if not the fastest helicopter in the game. Even if it wasn’t good I would still want to be able to look at it and say I own it

[@Under_Tone]

Sorry to disappoint you but the Viper ain't really that good. Gaijin have made it quite sluggish, you'll be struggling to reach even 300 km/h and most I've managed to get it to was 330 on an empty load, which is nowhere near the 412 km/h from statcard. Mi-28s and Ka-50s can easily reach over their statcard speed. They're faster and have better acceleration than the Viper and that's fully loaded. Even Apaches have better speed and acceleration, Too bad it's so heavily nerfed from it's real life state and hellfires are really bad. They're only really good on open maps with no cover & trees and still atakas and vikhirs are way better. Btw all Apaches can carry 16 hellfires.

[@maplearrow1842]

@@Under_Tone I'm saying the ah-64a can only carry 8 hellfires when you want the aim-8L's, and yeah I know the viper isn't as fast but it's still incredibly fast in arcade, so good for heli ec and pve

[@GetBlitzedFSND]

Hi. Could you tell us more about what happened? Your section was pinned down by enemy fire and the you called the Cobra for CAS and they came how long after?

[@blacktail522]

@alexsky88749 we didn't call it. After we were back in our checkpoint we were told it was flying back from its own mission and did enough to scatter the enemy. The Americans were wonderful to work with. Always lending a hand when they could.

Theres apparently still an argument of people that think the UH-1 and AH-1 are THE SAME helicopter. Most of their arguments are that theyre the same everything but frame… Its like trying to say the Ka-50 and Ka-52 are the same.

[@noracane269]

Ah-1z has all the bells and whistles ignoring ircm making it usually nice to use, but the hellfires can be difficult with their painfully long approach time. At lower br's its not an issue but at top tier with 8km+ sams, ka-50's and the such, the hellfire does feel outclassed. Hopefully either the hellfires will receive their option to guide directly to their targets or maybe the AH-1Z can get its radar jammer

[@2ndofme10]

I remember when I yelled "someone stop the Cobra! " In Rising Storm 2 since my team were keep slaughtered by it.. And the commander did nothing 🗿

[@Jo-un6es]

The AH-1G is my general go to when it comes to 8.0 CAS in Ground RB. Though when I use it most of the time its a gamble. Seeing that Germans and Soviets have some of the best autocannons at this BR I'm always cautious considering I can easily get shot out of the sky. When it comes to load outs the AH-1 is the best starter but the way the Mighty Mouse rockets are they are very difficult to learn and get on target. Due to the angled mounts for the rocket pods the rocket sight in the HUD is practically useless as the real impact point is always going to be bellow the actual sight picture. You never hit close to where you want to hit usually with the rockets. But the 40mm Grenade launcher is above all the best. Great penetration and good HE filler. It's a menace to any lightly armored vehicle. Not to mention tanks with roof armor on the thinner side. Though I just wish there could be more quality of life fixes for the AH-1G. Overall the best starter heli.
