AH-64 Apache Mission With REAL PILOT | DCS World

[@LongShotChannel]

Check out the Store: www.longshotstore.com/ Link to Casmo channel: kzbin.info Join the Discord channel: discord.gg/drNE6bT Hey guys. In this DCS World Simulator video CasmoTV is flying the AH64 Apache and I'm his gunner in a very realistic mission. Thanks for Casmo for the help. Hope you guys enjoy!

[@uglyigor3055]

great video man and the atmosphere in the mission is really very realistic. Is this a custom SP mission or on a MP Server environment?

[@LongShotChannel]

@uglyigor3055 thats an SP but you can play it with a friend. Its in my Discord if you want it

[@johng.2321]

When you read "AH-64 with real pilot" in relation to DCS, you always know Casmo is going to be piloting lol. I love the relationship between real pilots and simmers. There used to be a lot of animosity between the two but I feel like DCS has bridged the gap between us.

[@CasmoTV]

Nah we still hate you. 😂 jk

[@roromad9603]

a collegue of mine is a real pilot in the guard that plays dcs and loves it. he said when he first started, it was like shooting fish in a barrel, but now, its a real battle.

[@dragoonsix_fourgaming3504]

@@roromad9603 I have a friend who was an Apache Pilot during the war in Afghanistan. So I sent him some vids of the Apache in DCS, and he was SUPER impressed, saying that it looks and flies EXACTLY like the real one.

@@dragoonsix_fourgaming3504 that is scary how realistic it is.

[@wilsonrawlin8547]

What an awesome mission!! So much to learn, but the air to ground was BRUTAL!! Did 5 tours in Iraq and flew a ton of missions on the Blackhawks. Honor and Respect to all of those guy's,

[@2MartSaar]

What did you fly? Did tripleA hit you sometimes ??

[@wilsonrawlin8547]

@@2MartSaar I didn't fly attack helicopters I was with ground troops getting air support when we were taking fire. I flew on Blackhawks for missions and moving from Fob to FOB.

[@timsullivan4566]

Agree with you, LS - this helicopter mission was indeed cool... ..."cool as HELL!" (and imo your guest pilot added a very authentic touch to great vid - well done!)

[@LongShotChannel]

Thanks! Glad you liked it

[@Ganiscol]

This has to the most interesting DCS video I've ever seen! I have such a soft spot for helicopters and the Apache in particular. As a kid I played sims from LHX: Attack Chopper to Jane's AH-64D Longbow in the '90s way more than fixed wing simulators because of the different pace and the feeling of being in the thick of it as opposed to fast and high above. Its just so satisfying sneaking up on your objective, peek over a ridge or tree line to scope it out, make a plan and then execute it. It doesnt get better than having a real Apache pilot enabling you to do what the Apache does best and end it on a conversation. 👍

[@RagsHSC-7]

Hey Longshot and GS! As an Old Navy rotor head, you really have to be one together. HSL-7 of the 44th Dusty dogs. We hunted submarines off CV67 Big John 90 to 96. 1st tour was Kuwait. Yep, that's where they pop my cherry. Many other functions other than hunting subs but that was our designation. Between myself and the co-pilot in the engineer and 2 gunnies. It's got to be one fluid motion. Sometimes just one gunny but you guys looked great out there. Did really well long shot You both look good

[@grisslebear]

23:31 - DA HELL YOU SAY! Rotary wings are their own kind of sexy, & jets cannot even compare because their sexy is a totally different thing. My uncle was a CH-53 Squadron Cpt'n. In the U.S.M.C., so rotary wing aircraft have a special place in my heart.

[@davidpalmer4184]

Hi Longshot, as an ex-grunt I love helicopter sims. We used to rely on chopper support so much more than the fast movers. Please keep making these video's. And thank you Casmo, it is great to see a pilot with your experience in the video.

[@martwint6]

Nice video, it's always a pleasure to see simmers and real pilots flying together.

[@JBSmoke1]

Longshot and Casmo dishing out the hate and discontent! Well done, Gents!

[@davidsmith8997]

Great combo for sure!

[@COddietsch]

Love the realism and admire the professionalism that the pilot gives the gamer. The respect level is enormous. Thank you for your service, we respect you guys so much.

[@ForestBlue7]

This was badass! Would love to see more of these.

[@ayosh6856]

Great video as always, but the interesting part for me was the banter between you and Casmo, especially after the mission.

[@Dracounguis]

If the previous vids of the Huey minigun are any indication don't let Longshot shoot the gun! 😆

[@harryhoudini714]

and if you have to, tell him to shoot everything EXCEPT the Target!

[@MrKnoxguy101]

Statement of the year.. “I love rockets..”

[@averagejoe1943]

Casmo is a Sniper with 2.75” rockets!!!! Nice!!!!

[@Torch114]

Great video LS! Love the Two Morons series, but this had its own coolness factor. Thank you for your service Casmo. My favorite is the Huey and the little birds. Would love to see you two so a Vietnam helicopter mission.

[@XJapa1n09]

Loved the conversation at the end! Great mission and thanks for sharing!

[@LongShotChannel]

Thanks so much

[@deathsheadknight2137]

it's like a dad letting his kid take the steering wheel

Lol😅

[@drupiROM]

I hope that in 10-15 years, the AI will be able to "talk" like you guys do in "combat", and thus us, single player people can have this amount of fun in our gameplay.

[@williammathis6044]

It is not going to take near that long. It is possible right now and being tested today. Next 2-5 years you will see AI implemented heavily into everything in our lives including sims (assuming it doesn’t decide to eradicate us…..seriously it is VERY strong possibility)

[@drupiROM]

@@williammathis6044 We are still waiting for dynamic campaigns ... so, yeah, i'm putting my money on the 10-15 years time frame, not the 2-5 years one :)

[@samymasta]

@@williammathis6044 9:46 Nha fam, it'll take 5-10 years at least to get AI of that level, look at what we currently have lol.

[@harryhoudini714]

@@williammathis6044 having worked over 23 years in IT, I can assure you that an AI deciding ON ITS OWN to "eradicate us" is a ZERO Possibility. Unfortunately people watch way too many Movies to understand the sheer impossibility of a so called "self aware AI". The only way we can create a "self aware AI" is by sheer accident and the chances for that happening are roughly as much as the chances of us evolving into beings who can walk on the surface of the sun naked without getting burned. We have no idea, I repeat NO IDEA what consciousness is. By that I mean scientifically as in the deep mechanisms of it (not philosophically or some esoteric nonsense). So how do you generate something you know nothing about? The only way AI can become something dangerous is by human intervention. Either by programming it or manipulating it and that is the same as someone taking a big stick and hitting you with it. Its never the Stick but the person that wields it. So dont worry, for the foreseeable future, humans remain the biggest threat to humans :)

[@chrmez]

AI speech today could easily do that, current AI in DCS is another topic.@@samymasta

Shout out to Longshot! Congrats on your channel bro and I hope you grow! Thanks for the videos!

[@LongShotChannel]

Thanks buddy!

[@phil73805]

The steaks are on you and Casmo, but very well done! Nice to hear Casmo is going to have Hugh Mills back on! @Longshot, Hugh Mills wrote the book Low Level Hell about his experiences as a scout pilot in Vietnam. Casmo named his podcast after the book.

[@brianv1988]

Low-level hell that's a amazing book I read it about 2 years ago and also watch some the videos he took from his time in name

[@nuchbutter]

Hugh Mills is a friend of mine, I get the honor of flying a LOH with him a couple of times a year. His book was required reading for us when I was in HS-11 "Dragonslayers"...

[@tippership]

Seen Casmo before, and he's EPIC Something i wanted to mention- and it's something i've been calling out recently on forums/reddit- Modern Day Thermals /Targeting pods on US aircraft- CAN build a track file and do point track-like tracking of enemy aircraft - so Russian aircraft are NOT the only ones that can do the sneaky infrared radar-off approaches. If ONLY DCS would implement this- It's also why modern vipers/hornets/eagles/even Raptors are getting IRSTs- for air combat and to help take on enemy stealth planes This video was EPIC- and i loved the collab! Longshot the infrared ghost- now in choppers! This was sick- and Casmo is a MEAN rocket pod gunner WHAT WAS THAT at 10:56? Lol, Helmet projection of the thermal? That was COOL

[@TAC_PAN]

I swear to god. First few minute was literally just the meme speed limit enforced by aircraft 😂

[@trixer230]

You notice the only comment about the destruction the professional pilot makes is "I love rockets" ;)

I've worn these gloves a lot during vehicle maintenance/operations - for a couple seconds I thought the opening 0:18 scene was real footage.

[@FactsReactorplace]

Hello, I'm really amazed. What if someone masters the Apache Ah-64 in DCS, or as a weapons officer knows everything about the DCS, then he could theoretically and practically act just as well in a real Ah-64. Guys like that would be gold for the army. Are there cases where players have already applied like this? They are a lot ahead of the pilots who are being trained for it. Am I correct? Maybe a real pilot could answer that. I'm from Germany and I would be interested to know if something like that is possible. There would only be advantages. Greetings and a happy new year.

[@stalhuth]

DCS really needs to improve the infantry

[@benn454]

Everybody knows you gotta run in circles and moonwalk with your RPG after your crash your vehicle through the corner of the building.

[@serpentissanguis978]

Longshot is right, helicopters are so cool, they are infantry men's guardian angel. Maybe they are cool also because of a black and white helicopter that was on TV screens in the 80's...

Does DCS have Ground vehicles? If that was the case, I would play for sure. (I am a retired M1A2SEPv2 Tank Commander). Imagine the Air/Ground collaboration that can happen if there was indeed ground vehicles in the game. Man, That would bring me back to my Deployment, FTX, CAPSTONE exercise days.
