[@Rodz88]

A lot of close calls, my helicopter should have been shot down multiple times already!

[@MyNameIsAleidan]

Hey nice video as always ! What rudder pedals/stick are you using please ? Thank you very much.

[@Rodz88]

@@MyNameIsAleidan Thanks man! I do not use pedals yet, i use the pedals located on my HOTAS. Im currently using thrustmaster t16000m HOTAS (throttle) and VKB Gladiator NXT stick. Best bang for the buck!

[@MyNameIsAleidan]

@@Rodz88 Thank you very much for the answer. It seems like a very nice combo indeed, i tried the T16000M throttle and with some grease it is indeed very nice. Seeing how smoothly you pilot helicopters with it, its amazing. Can't wait to see more of it !

[@Rodz88]

​@@MyNameIsAleidanoh yes, more to come! Maybe i will do some video with Hinds too.. That beast is a different animal to tame & i read people said the landing is super challenging.

[@blocso]

When you will buy the rudder peddals guys have a look at the Virpil's one. Truly a game changer. I know they are quite expensive but worth it if you fly heli

[@sooryan_1018]

I'm astounded by the fact that a single Mi-8 survived - 2 A-10s 1 F-86 1 F-5 3+ SAM Dude just used his entire luck of stalinium, and MiG-21 clutch save at the start and end holy shit 💀💀💀

[@Rodz88]

Oh yes! Lady luck shine on me that night. Sooo many close calls & im glad our MiGs are on point. Given the base they spawn was far, im happy they flew all the way doing CAP

[@BigStevieStyle]

New to DCS are you?

[@linecraftman3907]

one of the best cinematics i've seen, bravo I cannot imagine how much effort it took capturing all the replay footage!

[@Rodz88]

Thanks! Yeah, a lot of recording & getting the right angle for great shot was pretty challenging. But im happy with the end result

[@diomedesbc]

Man this is a good video!

[@Rodz88]

thanks! glad you enjoyed it! this is why multiplayer is way more fun than singleplayer. the battlefield is unpredictable

[@charlesc7723]

Nice low flying, that does seem to help me, I always scrape the ground. Makes it harder for the fighters to track especially if you change direction. Of course I will say the MiG-21 was earning his pay as well. Great video!

[@Rodz88]

Thanks man! Yeah, then make sudden changes in direction. If we are lucky to find a town nearby, it's a great hiding spot. It was very thrilling being hunted by jets! Yup! Our MiGs that night was outstanding.

[@sebywest3736]

means video and kills all praise, praise to the helicopter pilot and mig-21, beautiful video, we want more 😁🤗

[@jamesfrench4337]

Dude, the editing here is some of the best I've ever seen. You told an awesome story with it. I could follow what was happening, got an awesome sense of scale and danger. Going to look for more of your videos after this one.

[@ustio834]

once again another masterpiece

[@Rodz88]

Thanks man! It was made out of love and passion!

[@about235ninjas]

Good move dragging that a10 into the friendly AAA

[@Rodz88]

Dude... I was panicking but at the same time i kinda know what to do. That A-10 wouldn't let me go! Actually i didn't realize friendly ground forces near my location.

NOTHING SHORT OF EPIC!!!

[@Icedrake201]

That was sick. I love the Hip.

[@Rodz88]

Thanks! I didn't thought my sortie will be that.. Interesting 😂 I love flying the Hip too. Even she is a big helicopter, but she is nimble for her size.

[@guillaumevalli5031]

sick content as always

[@alankucar8025]

A cinematic and tactical masterpiece, I will have to watch this again.

Nice Teamwork from the Migs. Its good when that happens

[@Rodz88]

It's a joy to watch when everything works well even its not planned. Sometimes we can witness some very cool moments in multiplayer servers

[@JD96893]

Holy shit! Your like the Rambo of Hip pilots. I can't believe you didn't die! Great team work and luck!

[@Rodz88]

Dude... I didn't thought my routine sortie would be this interesting. Im glad the MiGs saved my ass so many times.

[@Flyboy_Gospel]

MiG-21 came in clutch

[@Rodz88]

Oh yes! He saved my ass twice! That was a sight to see from my perspective in the helicopter

[@Flyboy_Gospel]

[@showsesol1792]

Awesome shots! Music class

[@Rodz88]

The video was made with many love to aviation & DCS world!

[@omarselim6281]

I think you may owe a certain Mig-21 pilot a few drinks 😅

[@linecraftman3907]

dont worry, the pilot already tapped off some of the radar coolant at the base

[@Rodz88]

Hahaha. They can drink the coolant in the MiG-21 mid flight too 😂

[@Fumes1-3]

That was amazing to watch....👍

[@madaxe606]

Nice to see the FIshbros protecting their Hipbros. This is utterly fantastic stuff. Puts Hollywood to shame, as usual!

Thanks! Good promotion for ECW too, you only experienced these movie styled action in cold war servers

That missile flying into it's own base was funny

Damn helicopter flying on ECW looks like a ton of fun.

[@linecraftman3907]

Yes it is, i enjoyed both sorties in jets & helicopters in ECW. Everyday is different scenario for me

[@JR-ut2ne]

Amazing video! Love it ❤ would love to talk with you in a future poscast show. Let me know if you are interested!

[@Rodz88]

Thanks so much! Podcast for HIP Games? - Yes! Why not. I will see if i can contribute depends on the subject. How do i contact you? I been following your channel since the early stages, happy to see how it grown so far

[@rhysgoodman7628]

Man a Pave Low would be perfect for a mission like this. Imagine that! Or even an older Chinook model. I’m going to fly the hell out of the Chinook, and I’m trying to become the pilot of one irl. An older, analog variant would be perfect for ECW. A Vietnam-era CH-47A and ACH-47A gunship would be absolutely glorious. But a Pave Low would just be a chef’s kiss in a sortie like this.

[@Rodz88]

Oh yes, i do love the pave low too. Its can tank a lot of hits from small arms too. Since ED is currently making the Chinook, let's see what it version will it be & what it has to offer

[@nexus888]

I can’t wait for the next sale so I can get the MI8. I did the trial and loved the cockpit view. Only worry is the Russian cockpits like the MI24 is crazy complicated.

[@Rodz88]

It does look complicated at first but after a few flights you will get used to it. Great choice to get this module as she can do troops transport & act as a gunship at the same time. Im loving it!

[@blackhatch46]

Imagine crewing this with friends, my dream!

[@Rodz88]

Oh yes, it's my dream too. The left door gunner view is just perfect 😍 Now with the latest open beta patch, we will finally get multicrew in the hip

Badass intro

[@opassac]

Flying the hip (and the hind) in the ECW server has been my almost only flight time in DCS, since i discovered this server... Sneaking to blue bases and droping troops is crazy and most of the times i get shotdown halfway, but when i do it, it feels great :D ... my only complain about the hip, the AI gunners are nothing more than passengers... guess they like more drinking their russian vodka, than doing their job :D

[@Rodz88]

I agreed! Once a while, we try to create excitement by doing these crazy mission rather than the routine mud moving stuff. I wish one day the gunners can call out targets proactively, that would be fun

[@snakeoo7ca]

Duude same here when I picked up the hind I never put it down 😂

[@Zulu4400]

How did you get the external views to work at all?

[@Rodz88]
