DCS World: AH-64D Apache || Raining Hellfire

"Firing random missiles into buildings isn't the best way to win hearts and minds." A certain bald, short man may need to hear that.

[@kapitankapital6580]

"we don't want to lob ordinance into random buildings, that would be a waste of a good missile" is the most American thing I've heard all day

[@huskergator9479]

MURICA!! F YEAH!!!! Just like intro music.

[@prytification]

Reminds me of the early 90s ... playing LHX Attack Chopper all day as a kid, with stunning 4 color CGA graphics. Amazing what these types of games have developed into.

[@andreidrozd9428]

Oh yeah, and I played MicroProse Gunship on my ZX Spectrum 128k. By the way, loadout was customizable there, no problem with taking 16 hellfires on a mission or go all unguided.

[@SVgamer72]

Gunship (circa 1986) for me on a C64…

[@tedstation5607]

@@andreidrozd9428 Love carrying 16 hellfires in dcs, just unnecessary destruction lol just how I like it

Maintainer Private First Class Siefer journal entry #1 Me and the boys barely got acquainted with the pilot of Wolfpack 1-1 before we got shipped off to our FARP near the front. I heard rumors that he liked to be a bit reckless in the sims with his engagements by attacking targets with less that optimal munitions. Turns out they're true. Those 70mm hydras wont do much against a modern tank besides piss it off but I gotta respect a pilot that has the balls to try! Some minor damage from small arms fire and what looked like some 12.7 should be pretty easy to patch up. Here's hoping I don't have to put together another "Bucket of Bolts" like grandpa did.

[@External2737]

Love this!

[@BullGator-kd6ge]

Bucket of Bolts 😭. Gone too soon

[@zacharysiefer8272]

Glad you all enjoyed this little bit of writing and a not so subtle reference to wolf's older series. For those wondering I am still quietly lurking around the channel and I'm planning on starting a new series based on his exploits with some more modern aircraft if he starts a series on them. For now I'm just gonna say that the next string of journal entries I write for a series I'll put the name of the aircraft out for you all to chime in on on wolf's discord! Till then this Greasemonkey Actual signing out!

[@imaz7210]

The Apache module has been so fun to fly and learn. Great that your getting in on the action and enjoying yourself while making great content!

[@andreidrozd9428]

I am a simple man: I see Wolfpack's video - I upvote right after opening it. Keep up the good work mate!

[@Wolfpack345]

Thanks man!

[@PetesHQ]

How good is the Apache! Such a great helicopter

[@Wolfpack345]

I have been having fun with it!

[@TheRaptorXX]

Great to see all the 80's Action Film in the intro there, Mr Pack!!

[@Prfactist]

Lol, I recognize the Jane's Longbow credits music anywhere. Ahh, childhood.

[@ExperienceFiordland]

Awesome! Thanks, Wolfpack.

[@Wolfpack345]

Glad you like it!

[@Darnakas]

That hook in the upper left corner of the cockpit is a nice little detail 😲

[@_tyrannus]

I'm all for more DCS on the channel. :)

[@Toquer88]

Always thought the Apache was the best choice for a fun simulator. Just a fantastic mix of duties and weapon capabilities.

Man loved the intro music it would be nice to see a highlight reel of boom boom with that same tune

[@zenatsuryouichi]

Glad to see you enjoy the apache! I've been flying it since it released and now my A-10 is sitting in the hanger collecting dust. It's everything I've wanted from DCS.

[@sir_quacks5543]

One or two more notes for you. When George stores a target change your acquisition source to that target (one the COORD page. Select T01 or whatever it is. You can also select it on the TSD and select CAQ to make it your acquisition source.) I noticed your range souce was always M1.5 which gives you no SA on how close you are getting to a threat. To tell if you have a NAV range or MAN range on the left side of the HAD you see M1.5. That is a default MAN range for the PLT. If you see N1.8 you have selected a coordinate as a range source ard are getting dynamic range updates into the WP for shooting and getting to close to a target (e.g. getting your helicopter shot at. :) ) Your rockets missed because your rocket steering cursor was not aligned and you were out of trim (the port-starboard effect may not be modelled yet though. I don't keep close tabs on DCS.) When you shoot rockets, line up all your symbology, (head tracker, rocket steering cursor, acquisition source (i.e. George's TADS LOS crosshair.) NORM rockets are a pain in my opinion so try FIXED NAV range rockets as long as you are a fan of diving fire (Reference above for selecting a coordinate as an acquisition range source.) That should get you better effects. Also COOP rockets aren't a bad option with running rockets. George drives your range source with the TADS Laser that way and you can just align all your symbology, match and shoot. I actually like George. He sounds almost like a real CPG.

[@sir_quacks5543]

Oh, and you have to select ot as ACQ AFTER you WAS Rockets or it defaults to your MAN range. Fun facts...

[@greyed]

Well, that intro was peak '80s.

[@AngelofCruelty]

Love the Jane's music btw! LOL

[@icatchflak]

I LOVEEEEE the Apache on Windows 95 intro music

[@gameofkane7210]

Please keep practicing with the Stalingrad planes. We do not want Yuri to be a statistic when you return to the campaign.

This is high quality content!

[@OriginalWarwood]

You have made some huge improvements from the last stream I caught! another fine video!

Wolfpack, you gotta get down low amigo. Gun pilots fly near the ground. Up high your a bigger target my friend.

Cool intro in the '80 style

Hey Wolfpack, I bought your Crash dive T shirt last year and have enjoyed it immensely. Any chance on getting some merch featuring the AH-64?

Cant wait when they add radar support. Only then you will see what really Apache can do..

Nice video! It really is a lovely looking game. If you do any more maybe some external footage at the moment you fire the weapons?

do they have a mod that puts your pilot legs in the cockpit? seems silly without it

Can those dumb rockets clear the trees and take out the soft targets near the tanks?

[@ruin-dimidium]

is there a big diverance between sim flying a plane or hilicopter

[@willgnue2240]

Watched and 👍 Liked

[@tomaco7310]

Is there a campaign with this? It would make a cool series. I wish I could remember, played a Apache game 1000 years ago. Flex by joystick and gunned by mouse, great fun can't remember the name anymore.

[@krisztm7221]

Gunship 2000.

[@JFNelson18]

Its the same on everyone's 'pache vids. That damn S hook. Bugs the crap out of me.

[@Wolfpack345]

Really? I quite like it haha

[@JFNelson18]

All joking aside. It is so cool to see an accurate portrayal of piloting one. I've loved the Apache ever since playing the old desert strke games on the snes. Great video.

[@Caratacus1]

Me too :D What is the pilot supposed to hang off it? His jacket? Would block the view nicely :D

[@kurtisknechtel3728]

I hated it in pre-release videos too, but when I'm flying it I don't even notice it at all

[@sir_quacks5543]

No one hangs anything off the handles in real life accept when they leave the aircraft. I am one of the few guys that hangs his helmet there, but my hook is attached to my helmet. I got the idea from a prior OH-58 pilot. That little hook draws my eyes away from the environment which is bad for a gun pilot.

[@richardbarker2928]

Hi, excellent video,I'm a big il2 fan so never watch DSC but I thought,as it's you I would give it a go. Wow more of the same please. The Apache looks fun to fly and fight. Does this have a career mode?

[@coraxthedestroyer4448]

DCS does not have a career mode persay. It does have a very powerful mission editor built in in which you can string together a campaign with a story as you would please. Some very talented people make some very compelling missions and campaigns. I love IL2 as well but DCS is king to me.

[@fl398motorsports3]

How did you get the red tank icon to come up in the TSD?

[@jaredlogerfo5081]

Wait sending missiles Into civilian homes is not the best way to fight a war. Man everything I’ve seen from the Russian military says that’s the best way to do things.
