Thx for taking the time, Casmo and Barundus, and teach this to us. I learned a lot. Its imposible to find this content anywhere. Hats off

[@shagrat47]

Great content. The practical showcasing stuff is invaluable. Reading the rotary wing bible is one thing, but seeing it put into action is incredibly helpful.

[@UnmenschgebliebenerMann67]

What is the name of that bible?

What a terrific explanation. You guys did great. It really shows how a team is much more effective than a collection of individual pilots. Thanks for sharing.

[@ba-3361]

Informative but nonetheless entertaining, this is really great content ! Your channel is one of the main reasons that got me into helos in DCS, thank you for keeping up with the channel.

[@Wh1terider]

Holy-cow, what an amazing listen. Thank''s fellas for sharing.

[@ianboys1000]

Nice. The practical demo was good.

[@Ninjahat]

VERY nice to see a prof driver focusing on blades! Thank you for great content.

[@schoolio64D]

Awesome stuff! I know I'm digging up older videos, but the content is fantastic and very relevant now that the 64 is out.

[@wilbuzllf5057]

Brilliant! I learnt a lot. Also, it was great seeing the tactics being deployed. Looked like a Wolf pack hunting. Thanks for posting! /Wilbuz

Thanks for watching!

[@LazerPotatoe]

glad to see you guys using datalink -- very powerful. Thanks for the video!

[@NoFear1979]

Educational and entertaining to watch. I have just started to delve deeper into the ka50 and found your video helpful to watch in term of flight tactics 👍🏻

[@alcmann]

Enjoy the whiteboard instruction videos. Keep them up for the 64 when it drops.

[@RealDarko]

Great video, I like this videos showcasing proper tactics for attack choppers. Well done, I subscribed!

[@Skankhunter420]

Wow man super informative! This is the type of stuff I love to learn about. I dont have DCS but I play warthunder like no tomorrow, thanks for sharing your knowledge sir!

[@gregpruitt1647]

Keep doing more of these kinds of basic concept videos for helicopter operations. Excellent!

[@shadowdog2017]

Great Vid Thanks for the Info and all the effort you guys are putting in to make this happen

[@albatroz7787]

Thanks a lot for sharing this! Really helpful!

[@andrewfox4467]

Your KA-50 content has been awesome. I hope you'll pay the same respects to the AH-1 and 64 if (when!) they arrive in DCS. In the meantime keep up the great work. Always looking forward to new videos.

[@CasmoTV]

Just waiting to make the hind my bitch. Thanks for watching!

[@andrewfox4467]

@@CasmoTV Hoo yeah, I'd forgotten about the Hind, that thing is a BEAST!

Great video thanks, that's how AH should be used. This same tactic can be used with armor vehicle.

[@CasmoTV]

And how! When I was an M1 guy we did the same thing.

[@Johnwilkinsonofficial]

gold jerry, gold!

[@man_vs_life]

Primo content - like being in the classroom.

[@2xKTfc]

Helicopter tactics seem very much like infantry tactics, just more speed, less running, and bigger weapons. Oh yeah and up in the air of course!

[@nomennisceo6495]

Infanteri is not supposed to be ud in the air. That’s what I have been doing wrong!

[@josh_jc_cheng]

I am surprised "shooting artillery at helis" isn't a Wargame Red Dragon only thing.

[@EinsteinEP]

Good stuff!

[@masterman3178]

Can we get more videos like this about Apache tactics?

[@I.thunder-e1x]

Great video. You show pages of a book with definitions. What book is? Thracian.

[@Duke49th]

Are trees now finally hard/solid objects that block radar and AI's visuals? Or still just cosmetic feature?

[@Spacebaryonyx]

the whole mission almost ended by like 0:14 cause of a mid air collision 😭

[@SurvivalRD]

Nice Video THX for this awesome stuff. What is the recommented airspeed in the different manouver?

[@larspanky]

Hey Casmo. My friends and I are talking about how to setup a "pink' team with Kiowa and Apache. We're thinking two apache is good for tactics, since no Kiowa yet. Are these tactics good for that too?

[@PlaiceZ]

AWS Ka-50 edition.

[@FalcoGer]

Yeah, good luck doing that without setting the enemy to not shoot back. Enemy AI doesn't care about your sneak skill. You get in visual range once and they'll start shooting instantly the millisecond you pop over those trees. OODA is 0ms. Because the enemy sees you anyway whether your are high or low, the best strategy when no SAMs are around is to stay high to have the best visibility possible, and stay at max range to shoot missiles on anything that could shoot back. The only thing you do when staying low is limit your own visibility and getting close to the enemy and into their weapon range. You engaged those BMPs at 2.5km, that's within anti tank missile range and those auto-cannons really do a number on your helicopter had you gotten any closer. Had you instead been at 8km and 1000ft up, they couldn't have done a thing to you, even if they wanted to.

[@CasmoTV]

Not really.
