Heliborne - Getting My PVP On

[@Kletterhase]

How many Vietnam Vets does it take to change a lightbulb? YOU WOULDN'T KNOW!!! YOU WEREN'T THERE!

[@opairsoft8100]

Kletterhase lmao

[@-gevert-]

*flashback* Vietnamese soldiers putting light bulbs into his... cavities

[@FiestadelChorizo]

I was really excited to get my Mi-24 but no matter how sneaky I try to be I always get spotted. I guess Hind sight is 20/20...

Facepalm.

[@JohnWilliamNowak]

Glorious. Well done.

[@jakeogroton]

Ayyyyeee

[@jackobite4346]

Glorious

[@tomicomicsforeveryone8161]

Odd to see you shooting blues not reds.

[@noneofyourbusiness9489]

Well, you have to kill those dirty blues!

[@hamstsorkxxor]

wow, thar sounds so weird to me, having green and red look similar!

[@psnmadracer27]

Movement in the corner of your eye. Is it a dumb question to ask which color red and green both look like? I had a colorblind friend years ago and I think he said they look almost maroon to him

[@vegas_pyrotechnics9820]

should be able tro change...I dont like shooting blue...all the wargames and games in general friendly is blue enemy is red.

[@maerosss]

This is a bad design in my opinion. It is understandable to try to make it unique, but changing basic rules simly doesn't do it. This applies everywhere. No matter what you design, be it a game, website or a crossroad. The rules everyone expects you to abide by should always be respected.

[@Alderboran]

Jingles you owe me a new screen because of that MANPAD-joke. Tea does not mix with electronics!

[@Sharahdogmeat]

indeed, he is far from the only one to giggle at the whole MANPAD thing. :P

[@papasmurf2266]

Somebody better make a video with the “Ride of the Valkyries” music.

[@samuelcampo3611]

That and "Fortunate Son".

[@MelioraCogito]

Speaking of tampons... Back when I was a lonely Pvt in the Canadian Militia (CF Primary Reserves) more than half a lifetime ago, one of my Cpl's had an artistic flair for drawing life-like caricatures. At the time (this would be the late 70's) Tampon had a marketing campaign in which a famous female athlete or female TV/movie personality would be featured saying: _"What's a..._ [insert profession here] _... doing talking about feminine protection? Because I wanted to be the first!..."_ My Cpl (no-names, no pack-drill) drew up this scene of a rugged, battle weary GRUNT (Government Reject Unfit for Naval Training) highlander, balmoral on top of his head (my regt was/is a Canadian highland regt affiliated with the Royal Scotts), his helmet loosely dangling from the canteen on his webbing which itself was loosely hanging off his shoulders, an FN C1 or C2 (both Canadian versions of the FN FAL of which the C2 was a magazine fed section LAR with a heavier barrel and folding bi-pod forestock) propped up against some medium sized crates, some of which were stacked around him, while he's leaning forward, supported by a leg up on top of one of the crates, a smouldering cigarette dangling from his lips, with a caption below that read: *_"What's an infantryman doing talking about feminine protection?... Because I wanted to be the first..."_* It was a brilliant piece of artwork.

[@renardgrise]

Heliborne regular videos are welcome!

[@ajvanmarle]

technically, even a 12.5 mm machine gun can take down a Hind if you can get a downward shot through the rotor. It happened a few times during the Afghanistan war with gunners sitting on mountain tops shooting down into the valley.

[@jekubfimbulwing5370]

What? No Hello Kitty Online Video? I'm very DISAPPOINTED!

[@HuMaNise34]

Wait until the day it is supposed to be a Cold waters video, we may actually be "surprised". ;)

[@kitkats4194]

lol

[@jagx234]

The really weird thing about this game is that your allies are red.

[@Dante_S550_Turbo]

and enemies blue XD

[@Linerunner99]

Yeah that is weird... you'd think the commie team would be.

[@armorhide406]

Not really. Plenty of games you have red teams and your enemies are blue. Granted, I don't think it's often where your allies are always red

[@jaguar123987x]

More like orange

[@jameson1239]

It could be because the USSR is red

[@Exxoc]

Your lack of spotting as a scout is disturbing :D

[@stevepirie8130]

Exxoc I would like this comment 5 times if I could lol.

[@-gevert-]

It's Jingles, we watch his videos because he's crap :D

[@jaguar123987x]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqCqfpV3fsiLebM

[@SallinKari]

btw, I noticed you weren't using the mortars your teammate placed and specifically told you about.

[@stevepirie8130]

SallinKari and didn't press B when he could see ground targets.

[@MrHamof]

Poor instinct in the chat, kept trying to tell Jingles that he'd deployed mortar teams.

[@nazamroth8427]

I have mostly been playing Soviet aircraft, and after I learned to actually control them, they are quite good. The US ones, on the other hand.... seem to suffer from a severe lack of dakka... In soviet helis, i can usually take down 2-3 bases, AND man them, even with gunships. In US ones, i take down 2 at best, and have men for 1 at most. In conclusion... Join glorious mother russia, you imperialist capitalist pigdogs. We have dakka.

[@Nelsonwmj]

Historically accurate though! Russia was always better with combining troop assault with dedicated gunship duties for a helicopter.

[@minepagan5300]

Well, he was flying more lightweight helicopters (2 of them were scouts, after all)

[@vinzenzgeske8987]

I don't know. I used to like the Soviet helis better as well. But then I started playing the US and came around to loving them. They are a bit better at their special tasks. On the downside you have to have better team communication. But don't get into a dogfight with a Cobra in your Hind. You ARE going to regret it! It runs circles around you while having 20 AND 30 mm guns and a few rockets as well. Those things are brutal in T2 games in the hands of a skilled player with a team behind him who knows what they are doing...

[@nazamroth8427]

Honestly, I just try to avoid dogfights altogether if I can help it. For some reason, I can't hit anything reliably in the air in Heliborne. Like I see where my shots are going, place the "arc"'s end on my enemy, and it just does not hit. I feel like I have to overpredict their future position by about 50-100% in order to actually hit. Which is strange since this is the first game this has happened to me in. So yeah, mostly ground attack and troop ferrying for me.

[@CallioNyx]

That's kind of the thing. The Mi24 Hind is a prime example - heavy gunship/transport/assault helo, all in one. And sure, the Hind is an armored beast with enough power to airlift a bus (or its own ammunition) and still get speed records, but... uh... where was I going with this? Yeah. Okay. Shoot down a Hind, you've destroyed a pretty big investment. The US theorize it's better to have a transport helicopter escorted by a gunship or two, rather than have one machine do all the work. That thinking is right, I believe, but it still makes the Hind a pretty impressive machine.

[@poseidon4675]

Who thought it was a good idea to make the enemies blue and the allies red? Geez

[@opairsoft8100]

Poseidon RO 2 has it

[@Kubosushi]

Patriotic communists I guess.

[@Riceball01]

Movement in the corner of your eye. That's not the point. Typically in games, red denotes bad guys while blue is for good guys. Even the US military uses this convention where bad guys are called the Red Team, and friendly fire incidents are referred to as Blue on Blue.

[@alekseyibragimov9873]

USA is not the whole world, ya know ;) Have you ever heard of Red Army? =P

[@tigeriussvarne177]

Still playing it today. With the Jingles camo proudly on my UH-1D! Realy hope to catch Jingles in the game one day, not only playing with Rita on a closed server. ;D

[@jessegd6306]

So instead of putting your flares on your already small and agile scout, who'll die when an enemy so much as sneezes at it anyway, you really should put your flares on your troop transports first. Reason being is that your transports are going to be slower and fly like a bus, and they'll need that extra little chance of survival. Attack helicopters can usually do without flares if you're flying close to the ground, and they have the armor to soak up maybe one missile. Here's to hoping you become less crap ya lovable gnome.

[@devilsmessanger]

such a good game for such a small studio !

[@Robert-vk7je]

I know a lot of good games from small studios. And a lot of bad games from big studios. Maybe it's not about the amount of money, that gets thrown at a game, what makes it "good". Just sayin'.

[@YuiFunami]

love the vidyas jingles keep up the good work.

[@ThePTBRULES]

Yui Funami I like YuruYuri, keep up the good work.

[@YuiFunami]

Thank namori san not me

[@eisigerwurfel7164]

AGREED!

[@roguesoldier127]

Jingles you need to read chicken hawk. About a Vietnam war pilot. Amazing read. Love you vids. GG

[@roguesoldier127]

By Robert Mason.

[@The_MightyJingles]

Oh I have. Chickenhawk and Low Level Hell should be required reading for anyone wanting to fly helicopters.

[@Porty1119]

The Mighty Jingles Snake Driver is another good one if you haven't read it.

[@tomphillips7858]

Headframe Hunters yeah, Randy Zahn. But Mason’s Chickenhawk is an absolute must read.

[@Aarrgghh1]

interesting design choice not to enable collisions with trees.

[@awakeandwatching953]

that will be added devs said i think its down to work load and resources as oppose to a design decision

[@Aarrgghh1]

Cool, thanks Kai, makes more sense.

[@LionOfNobility]

During Vietnam it's recorded that Helicopters could land in a forest and their blades would just chop the trees into salad.

[@Linerunner99]

An interesting design, yes.... otherwise known as a fun game. You know... what games are supposed to be.

[@bbgun061]

+LionOfNobility - No.

[@lfteri]

balls of steel? more like duraluminium

[@mjtheko]

Legit just got off this game and looked on KZbin for anything new. Well then... hello jingles video!

[@alphaxalex1634]

Looks like 1080p is back

[@NickConte3]

The team color scheme is really disorienting. Blue for enemy and orange for friendly just seems counterintuitive

[@ptinico7958]

I maybe misunderstood that but the grinding on this game seems very short (1 game and you got half of the XP for a top tier heli). And this is not a free to play. That's odd... But as always great video Jingles ! I can't spend a day without hearing your voice !

[@_Digishade_]

That's exactly the case, and the dev's are both vocal and happy to confirm that they're keeping it that way (both non-FTP and fast teching.) They've got a lot of cool stuff planned, too.

[@MyVanir]

As long as the gameplay's good, it won't need grinding to keep people playing.

[@ptinico7958]

Well, I agree with you. I was probably expecting something more like a World of Tank or anything like that. And i guess that this may be a reason why the game is popular today. I think i will give this game a go after all

[@pickleparty247]

The way that the devs have laid out the progression system basically makes it so that the first hours of the game where you progress to tier 4 are essentially an extended tutorial. After you've unlocked all the helis, the idea is that players can play the era which they want to- whether it's Vietnam War Hueys or Gulf War Apaches.

[@snowstalker36]

Yes! Low Level Hell is one of my favorites. I also recommend To The Limit by Tom Johnson and Guts and Gunships by Mark Garrison.

[@Quindaro2012]

Better sit on my helmet before playing.

[@kyoto8805]

JINGLES STOP FUELING MY GAMING ADDICTION!

[@Dreaded88]

@The Mighty Jingles: Thank you for showing us Heliborne! I've got to start playing this! Here's a song I found for you, Gunship Calypso! kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIfWf3eJj7yWhas

[@kennethdenis4747]

Check out this book Jingles: Huey: The Story of an Assault Helicopter Pilot in Vietnam Book by David L Groen and Jay Groen. Worth the read.

[@qjw9824]

Hey Jingles, just so you don't spread miss information, but Helo kills have no effect on the points at the top. It's all about taking over bases and having more control over the map. Also, since you have 2 scout helos, you should try and load some mortar teams in your deck and use the mortar control button "6". I know you know it exists, but you never used it this entire match, which could have helped you win the game, or at least push faster. Either that, or replace one of them with a UH-1B with the ATGMs, it makes a big difference at taking out convoys. One last thing, but flairs are a pretty big deal in Heliborne PvP. It's the difference between life and death a lot of times. I highly recommend trying to make room for at least 2 of your helos, or the ones you are more aggressive in to have flairs on them.

[@ot0m0t0]

Jingles do you realize you can get more ammo and soldiers at the landing pad marked with ammo icon?

[@RaptorRed79]

Jingles I would like to thank you for introducing me to my latest game addiction. I have been playing since i got the game 2 days ago and it is Some much fun. I have also manged an impressive 5 "Jingles Landings" including one in which i was Upside down. Again I would like to thank you for brings this game much needed attention, and for putting out another awesome video series. You need to do some Co-Op battles with the old Live stream gang for fun.

[@WacUK]

Okay Jingles I give up, I've bought the deluxe version! Now please leave me alone I'm playin' Heliborne! :)

[@robertschumacher2707]

As Mills himself put it, If tou were a helicopter pilot and you were killed in Vietnam, you were probably a scout pilot.

[@difficultinterest1582]

Oh and Thanks for bringing more people to the game, Jingles. It has always been a tad empty and has finally acheived the full servers the game deserves

[@KillerOrca]

No Jingles, its not just you. The moment I heard MANPADS I thought to myself "oh boy, thats just ripe for jokes"

[@adamcarroll9613]

Can confirm, Low Level Hell is a fantastic book. The stories of the Darkhorse pilots are nuts.

[@thatguywholikes1]

Still waiting on the War Thunder BMP-1 vid 😁

[@none3763]

Anyone interested in heli warfare should try reading Chickenhawk.

[@stevepirie8130]

none I do recall the authors trick to generate energy and get going to drop the helo then pitch nose forward and away you escape faster.

[@topguntopcat]

I love the book low flying hell it’s a great read, their is anther one by anther pilot who flew in the same unit called easy target which is anther good read

[@Platinumsniper]

Jingles, Heliborne just added a new Jingles skin to the UH-1D

[@vonblunder]

Another good book to read for Vietnam era Helicopter : Chickenhawk

Goddammit jingles, it's 3 am

[@DeepPastry]

Can you not return to main base for repairs and more ground troops? Have you even tried even once? EDIT: said that right before he returned. Why you wouldn't drop off manpads repeatedly seems silly.

[@pilotjasp4220]

Because you can only drop as many special soldiers as you put into your squadron. As long as they are all active in battle you don't get new ones.

[@DeepPastry]

Ahhh, that makes a lot more sense . Thanks for the response.

[@TurKlack]

Don'T know if I'm just bad, but I have a lot of troubles with the MI-24A Everytime when I scratch the enemy line just a bit everything seem to be able to kill me. Most USA Choppers have Miniguns and Anti Tank Cannons all over the damn thing and that are just Scout Choppers with high manouverablitiy. HEch I see some Player that strave through the entire Sovjet base and kill EVERYTHING with one swoop.

[@tceinheit]

Saw this video today! Think: "Damn a heli game!" first heli: The Bell UH-1D! Me thinking: "Love you Jingles!" greetings from a german Luftwaffe soldier^^

[@tomphillips7858]

Better Vietnam Helicopter Pilot book. By a guy named Mason. Called Chickenhawk, about flying with the 1st Air Cav from the Golf Course at Plei My (might have location wrong). Anyway, really great book about being a “Slick’ Huey pilot, and a little Gunship Huey stuff towards the end.

[@boatshoes4life]

Loved "Low Level Hell", another good read is "Eyes of the Eagle" about LRRP teams in Viet Nam. "Wings of the Eagle" is about the crazy pilots that flew them. Or since you like WOT "Tank Sergeant" by Ralph Zumbro is good. He also wrote "The Iron Cavalry" which has some great stories.

[@minethree58]

To Jingles: the OH-6 with the 40mm grenade launcher is nearly broken in how good it is. It can spot SPAMPADS, and has the firepower to wipe out bases and frag choppers. And it's tiny so have fun hitting it, plus max speed on the thing can outrun SPAMPAD missiles.

[@RealCaptainJaws]

Man, this game was fun for awhile! It's too bad it never took off, because we don't really see many helicopter games, let alone ones that bring back the fun of classic arcade games.

[@Ploon72]

Actually Jingles, pads and tampons are two different things... *cha-chack* Jingles?

[@IAMAPOKEMONRANGER338]

Pfff, what Jingles said about MANPADS gave me a good chuckle. But that's been on my mind since i first heard the acronym... Something to the tune of 'Every pussy needs one' :'3

[@Justin-zn3py]

Jingles, they aren't bullet holes, they are lightening holes. A common aircraft manufacturing process.

[@Eivindiriath]

**Catchy song playing in background** Are you experiencing problem with holding your bladder? Are sick and tired of popping your inflamed hemorrhoids and having to clean it up? say hello to the MAN PADS™.

[@Hunter12396]

time to strap your MANPADS on

[@camoon874]

Howdy Folks, get ready to strap your MANPADS on because today we're playing Heliborne with the Mighty Jingles. lol

[@Blitzcreeper239]

Jingles better use this as an intro.

[@FrenziedRoach]

Since your recommending books, I'll toss out my own suggestion - Rober Mason's "Chickenhawk".

[@gallow10]

I recommend "Chickenhawk" by Robert Mason, fantastic biographical story of how he learned to fly for the US Army and his experience flying Huey's in Vietnam.

[@Drewscipher]

Jingles, dude when are you going to jump into some history of some of these helicopters? I mean just from American movies I assume everyone knows what a Huey is and it's contribution to Vietnam, some might know the Cobra or Apache from the film Firebirds with Nicholas Cage or any number of other games. But I mean the russian ones? I think I shot down a HIND in one or two of the Metal Gear games..... Miss the old Jingles vid where it was "Here's the Vehicle, here's the history, here's what you can expect in game".... In fact I'd be willing to bet most of your subscriber base originally found you by looking up garage reviews in World of Tanks.

[@Zer0kbps]

I hope they consider allowing mods. I'm thinking Airwolf PVP oh yes....

[@6105boe]

Alright Jingles! You seem to be pretty good in Heliborne with the Huey, so...challenge time! Do the same kinda thing in DCS World in the DCS Huey module (well, it's a bit expensive so maybe in the winter sale)! :D

[@ZGuy0fSci]

*"No enemy Helos in PvE, 'Yet.'"* If / when they do so I hope they remember to make it a separate option. ^-< (it's rather fun to simply play to play and get Exp, but having that as an option would be kewl.)

[@cbeaulac]

It's REALLY silly to have the enemy players have the name displayed AT ALL... Really a noobie game for doing that.

[@projectmungo]

Afaik there are no Helicopters that belong to the German Luftwaffe. They belong to the "Heeresflieger" or the Bundesmarine.

[@NefariousKoel]

If you're in an area with known enemy MANPADS, drop a set of flares every ~8 seconds. It will break their IR lock and prevent them from shooting at you. Just a matter of surviving their first shot, if you didn't know they were there beforehand. Then you can poop out flares regularly afterward and be gtg.

[@flaffenbam5376]

Another good Vietnam heli pilot book is Chickenhawk, it's from a Huey pilot's perspective.

[@gameshoes]

Gaijin had a similar game mode to Heliborne in their Apache Air Assault title. However, Activision pulled the plug on their funding, and so they only released it as a "beta" patch. It's a shame that Apache Air Assault didn't do well but, I understand why. There were some questionable decisions made for that game (the most egregious would be two difficult control sets depending on difficulty the player would set). I personally think that Apache Air Assault had the best control scheme above all games dealing with helicopters. No, not the control set that they brought in for April fools in War Thunder. That control set was the "Rookie" control scheme that Apache Air Assault had, and it's awful. The full control in "Realistic/Veteran" I mean; that was good stuff.

[@nineshotwonder]

Anybody else notice that there's a camo for the UH-1D called "The Mighty Jingles"? Even has Jingles' face on the roundel.

[@greyed]

MPADS - The way he said it sounded like MAN-PANTS. Put'cher MPADS on!!!

[@havoc3742]

is there any version of the Huey with 4 .50 cal M2/M3 browning's in armature mounds with 18 shot hydra rocket pods?

[@0nkelD0kt0r]

I love this game and I'm really glad that I bought it. There is one thing that bugs me though: Armour isn't really a thing in this game but it should be. The Mi-24 is supposed to be armoured against everything up to .50 cal. It shouldn't be completely unkillable with that caliber but surely a 7.62mm machinegun should have to pump hundreds of bullets into it before it goes down. In particular that should apply to rifle fire from infantry squads on the ground. This of course goes for all other armored helicopters of course, especially the Apache but also things like the Huey or the second model of the Mi-8, which clearly has armor plating installed.

[@tobyward6072]

Jingles , have you read the book Chickenhawk by Robert Mason about flying UH-1 in Vietnam? its good

[@tigerfighter4744]

What i dont understand is why the UH-1D "Huey" comes with a german paint job with the army cross and the Luftwaffe label? I mean it was produced in the US right?

[@derek4222]

After watching this I bought the game. I've only played co-op so far but i'm really enjoying this game. Its a nice change from war thunder and WoT.

[@HarenunHoppus]

Playing some CCR while blazing at the jungle canopy would be quite appropriate.

[@MT-rh3bq]

Yass Huey gunships, US Navy seawolves made me pretty familiar with those. That particular detachment used reticles drawn on the windshield with grease pencils to aim the rockets. However they had extra guns on the rocket pods as well,I believe I remember they called them flex guns.

[@sawyerawr5783]

Dammit Jingles I'm trying to be a good boy and work on my final project for graduate school and then you put this video up...which makes me want to play Heliborne!
