Next to the Forest of Death - ShackTac Arma 3

[@barleysixseventwo6665]

Ultimately Dslyecxi operates in two modes: Happily Flying a Littlebird and Secretly wishing he was flying a Littlebird.

"They're converting the enemy I guess..." "Walolo..." Brilliant.

[@BinnsyBoi1]

"Alpha Lead, FAQ, you're in charge." "Say again for Alpha..?." "Command is down, you're in charge" "You're the worst!" Best. Line. Ever.

[@EpicTubah]

34:05 "Wololo" Thanks for making me chuckle there :D

[@TheCaptn]

From the moment Crane got the drop on you in 'Perfectly Criminal' these videos have really hit a new high point for me. It's been like a great buddy-cop movie... In fact, speaking purely as a viewer I don't think I've had quite this much fun with ShackTac videos since the glory days of the Kilroy/Beagle bromance.

[@dslyecxi]

Hahaha, glad to hear it!

[@MechanizedFantasy]

Seconded on enjoying the Dsly/Crane buddy flick. "D

[@norseman2834]

Dslyecxi, you seem to be enjoying yourself more these last few months - there is a smile in your voice much more often. Keep up the quality content! Your channel is the reason I haven't used AdBlock on KZbin.

[@dslyecxi]

Glad it's coming through in the videos. Life has been nice lately.

[@demency2741]

That's great to fucking hear, man. You deserve it.

[@sev2231]

Please never stop flying in these games. I don't have the time / squad mates to do this anymore and I LOVED flying CAS / Transport. Keep it up!

[@Zues120]

My favorite kinda mission! Knew I was in for it when I heard in the briefing "All air is free to just go for whatever the fuck is to the north of us there in that yellow box." I got all excited to see some good footage either from the ground or in the air, then I heard the best part "Hawg, Angels, you are guns free on anything that is in that area, that is all going to be enemy" Oh! A-10s! S'when I knew this was gun be a good one. I can never get enough of Jets/Choppers/Armor in Shacktac, y'all put on an amazing show.

[@dslyecxi]

Thanks! I love these styles of mission myself as well.

[@jaymorrison2419]

I just love listening to these. The combined arms operations just seem to have an extra level of fun from a spectators standpoint.

[@MrHellking93]

"tank cant jump high enough" lmao. loved the video.

[@sequorroxx]

34:05 I'm glad I finished my drink before that happened.

[@BACONxISxGOOD]

These videos with Crane as of late have been my favorite.

[@AZWZOfficial]

Memories of "Fire from the Sky"

[@williamobee]

I know it's semantics and a JTAC thing, but having the callsign of "Angels" kept throwing me off man, I'm used to Angels describing elevation. It definitely shows how deep the immersion gets though when I'm picking up that... As always, hell of a video brother. I always look forward to seeing them every day!

[@ProspektMir]

TedHo made one hell of a mission! I like seeing the briefings etc., adds some context to the mission. And these large scale Cold War combined arms co-ops are some of my favorites from you guys. 9001/10 will watch again.

[@FakeUserNameHere]

As I fly thru the air 'bove the Forest of Death I take a look to my right and see that my co-pilot's left 'Cause I've been laughin' and blastin' so long That even Kevbo thinks that my mind is gone

[@gelatinoussire7772]

FakeUserNameHere Lol I thought the same thing when I saw that title.

[@paint_thinner]

Dslyexci and Crane, sitting in a shack, t a c t i c a l l y~

[@stangryn4402]

I love these helicopter replays. Keep 'em coming! Also just keep up the entertaining videos, Dslyecxi.

[@ShizukuSeiji]

41:19 "Hawg, destroy that fucking construction site." ... "Oh, happily." :D

[@headrockbeats]

34:06 "NNYYAAAAOOOO!" xD XD xD omg I'm dying

[@bendgrimes]

As usual, great work man! I know doing this must be a pain in the ass, but please keep it up!

[@benswanson914]

33:40 to 33:51 - the setup... 33:52 - the payoff! Hermes Conrad sends his regards. Bravo, both of you. That couldn't have been better if you planned it. Oh, and the rest of this was fun too.

[@andash123]

This was awesome!

[@travelprint]

Epic scene, OP, and Comms. 🔭 🐕 👍 A3 is looking so sharp. 👌

[@TheNaomeister]

34:00 I think that's the first time I've heard somebody make a wololo joke in years. You go, Crane.

[@FirstDagger]

DAGRs / APKWS rock , also love your Cold War combined arms videos, Crane is only adding to it (best copilot ever ?).

[@SeBeck]

great team work!

[@AznBoi0wnz]

First HIP I literally spoke out loud "Command, This is Angel-1, We're gonna go engage the HIP

[@Maktumekal_Ilzrei]

Little Bird with the Gau-19, gonna be a good video right here.

[@Pirofalcon]

Dslyecxi, I use MELB as well, but the cross hair is a crappy drawn circle, how did you get yours the red dot?

[@FlinnGaidin]

He modded it in.

[@Synystr7]

I wasn't that lucky and I sneezed half my coffee onto the wall... At least I missed my keyboard.

[@vanbeukenmans]

Wow, I had no idea the actual firing ranges of the Bergen-Hohne range are modelled in this map! Not an arma player, but have seen range 7A more than once!

[@BrenBrenMartin]

I'm not sure if Crane or Dslyecxi is the straight man in this duo.

[@BinkyTheElf1]

So Crane didn't spot any BMPTRs this time around? 😎 Great vid, sir!

[@Arcamean]

Watching your videos reminds me of "Where's Waldo" and i'm the guy going "Where!?" while everyone else is onto the next book. edit: Got a question, how often do you change up the heli's you fly? I'd love to see some Cobra action if possible (My dad used to fly them)

[@dslyecxi]

The Littlebirds have the most interesting gameplay dynamics for typical missions. Sometimes we have Apaches/Cobras, but not nearly as often.

[@gelatinoussire7772]

Arcamean A Blackhawk gunship would be cool to see. I think there's a mod that adds some different types of Blackhawks, but I'm not sure what it's called.

[@Arcamean]

Oh I'm not trying to say "OMG why u never play..." just a request is all, growing up around them (even got to sit in the sim and go up with my dad once as a kid) you develop a fondness for em. I enjoy the content whether it's as a footslogger or an air jockey. :)

[@jonrd463]

Oh wow, this reminds me of the most epic moment I've seen captured in your vids, Dslyecxi. Is this the same mission from a couple years back where you got shot down in the middle of tank hell and fixed your chopper while Uglies and Hog put on a light show for you? That was fucking amazing. Gonna get comfy and watch...

[@dslyecxi]

It's not the same mission, but it is the same terrain. The concept here is more armored + air, no real infantry component, whereas the one you're thinking of was infantry trying to escape while air covered them.

[@jonrd463]

Gotcha... I realized it was a different setup when there weren't any Uglies in play. Still a cool show from the air. Can you imagine how that particular moment from before would have looked in Arma 3? :D

[@gr3yvengeance597]

Have you ever considered streaming these coop sessions? It would be a blast to watch these live with like-minded people to talk to!

[@1100MC]

I'm starting to think that if you're with bravo you will have bad luck. Remember the time all of bravo fell off a cliff.

[@BACONxISxGOOD]

Seeing this terrain makes me want to watch the siege of Bergen again.

[@N0I5EMAK3R]

In the beginning ya'll sound either tired or reallllly high; I find it amusing. I'm not even ten minutes in and I'm giggling. I love listening to you and Crane talk. "Well I guess we can go kill that.."

[@N0I5EMAK3R]

That fucking truck driving in circles to avoid your fire had me rolling.

[@TheOneNOnlyAxi]

Notification squad, what up?

[@Hoffie92]

wasssuuup

[@HeirError]

relax, dude guy pal buddy friend

[@Oskcreed]

I love the dynamic with you and Crane, you are a good team. Just a question, any armor gameplay coming up (not a request ofc, just interested). Keep up the great work man!

[@dslyecxi]

Actually yes, there are a few videos pending that are armor-oriented. Bradley and Abrams, to be specific.

[@Oskcreed]

Awesome, can't wait for them :D

[@KazakhToon]

little Age of Empires reference from Crane there, like it

[@Jari54321]

How do you guys get such good fps?

[@thinkhard45]

Question, pretty sure this doesn't show, but when you lean out of the helicopter, can other people see your character doing it?

[@dslyecxi]

They cannot.

[@FlinnGaidin]

I'd been wondering that, myself.

[@DJ_NOOB]

I picked up the same monitor as you and I'm loving watching your videos on mine. This one in particular looked awesome. btw, what's up with you always running with Crane all the time now? (not a complaint. She's awesome. She cracks me up) Is she your GF?

[@dslyecxi]

We enjoy each other's company, so we tend to slot together.

[@DJ_NOOB]

LOL Clearly. Well you guys make a great team. Really have been loving the banter between you two. It's definitely brought a new level of enjoyment to your videos. It's not just ooooh cool arma stuff

[@DrScreams]

Been watching the channel for a few years, gave it a break for a while and returned recently, and in nearly every single video in the past month I swear Crane has been in it, with Dslyexci. Who are they? I feel like I missed something.

[@dslyecxi]

There has to have been at *least* one video where she's not in it, so I don't know what you're talking about. vOv

[@Maartssssss]

How do you get the red mark in the heli? Mine only display a drawn on circle in black. :(

[@Heavygunn0r]

It's his own unreleased modification to it.

[@Maartssssss]

Damn, it's a shame we have no way to access it whatsoever.

[@kuronx]

I would love to see you do a video with you piloting an A-10

[@canochunkysoup]

Anyone know what tracers and smoke this is? Looks awesome

[@dslyecxi]

We don't use any effects mods, so it's part of RHS, CUP, or vanilla Arma.

[@ELDoro]

map/terrain?

[@ArtemisBF1942]

So fun!

[@ShizukuSeiji]

Did anyone playing in the armor make a video of this mission? Would love to see some armor combat from this.

[@Nnexxxx]

Are any of these recent videos you post ever PVP? I very much enjoyed the guerrilla sniping video you did in arma 2 where you fought out numbered. It seems as though you guys aren't struggling nearly enough in these engagements and would do well to have a couple people be implanted in the opposition forces :)

[@dslyecxi]

Having players mixed in with AI makes for some of the worst gameplay you can get in Arma. We did it in the past at times and I would never go back to that - it's awful. We play some PvP these days but not as much as in the past, and I personally much prefer coop these days.

[@corkey131]

what gamemode is this?

[@dslyecxi]

It's just an in-house cooperative mission.

[@TheJEK5000]

Mic check on Bravo

[@JohnMcMahon.]

What top speed can those littlebirds do ?.. Fully loaded.

[@SteadyPetesFPVquadracing]

They should add female characters in the game. Would be nice to see in my opinion.

[@ArtemisBF1942]

I don't get it - Why did the American armor column retreat up that road at the end of the video? Their opposition at that point was only BMPs and BTRs. Were they outta ammo or sumpin'?

[@dslyecxi]

The objective was to break through. They were breaking through.

[@dusk6816]

If only Arma 3 has better Physics or Game Engine :(

[@Frontier87]

These kind of missions are the most fun to watch, too. This one reminds me of this legendary moment: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bamamGWlhthqrqMm38s

[@thedrivewaypyrotechnics5262]

Why don't you fly at top speed instead of 200+km/h?

[@dslyecxi]

How do you mean?

[@thedrivewaypyrotechnics5262]

You usually fly in the 130-150km/h range instead of the top speed of the aircraft.

[@dslyecxi]

You don't need to fly full speed all the time. Slower gives more maneuverability, more time to observe, etc, without making you an easy target.
