MH-60L DAP Black Hawk ULTIMATE Review | War Thunder

[@teawiththeadmiral8025]

The new graphics are amazing, and the quality combined with the graphics is the best there is in the wt community as per usual, keep up the good work!

[@Bob_Dickinson]

Thank you so much man! Im glad that i can finally give you guys the video quality you deserve! o7

[@RedTail1-1]

Fun fact. These things can do a barrel roll with a full load of Soldiers. Got to ride in one when the Infantry unit I was assigned to was doing a ruckmarch. We stopped in a field with grass taller than your head and were told to lay back and wait. about 10 minutes later we hear these things coming. They land in a clearing and we're told "Let's go! get on!" so one Squad hops on one and the other hops on the second. We take off and just cruise around. Then we hear "Want to see something cool? Look out the left side" So I look and the other Blackhawk gains altitude while rolling right, ours rolls on it's side and I can see the other is upside down directly above us. Ours levels out and the other continues rolling and moving until it is on our right side with rotors on top again. Was the wildest stuff I've ever seen. Also not sure if I'm supposed to talk about it. I doubt Apache and Blackhawk doing aerobatics is classified or anything. Seems like common knowledge.

[@Bob_Dickinson]

I have to say that's one of the coolest things I've ever heard holy crap that is absolutely incredible😮

[@BlackThanator]

Bob, from one helicopter enthusiast to another, thank you for putting so much effort into these videos. I was genuinely looking forward to this and as with all your other heli reviews, I was stunned by the presentation and editing. Please keep up the great work and maybe Gaijin will start giving helicopters a bit more love in the future.

[@Bob_Dickinson]

Thanks alot man! im happy that i am approved by professionals like you guys! :)

[@ActuallyNotIlmatar]

I genuinely love your helicopter reviews. Both historic aspect and functionalities of a machine. Nobody even comes close to that in the community besides maybe Tims Variety. I loved the random gameplay section back in the Z-19 video, maybe it would be nice to make that kinda stuff into content too?

[@Bob_Dickinson]

thank you so much man... this really is amazing man... i did not expected that my content is this good... thank you so much

[@ODST_Parker]

1:48 You're telling me that crazy stealth Black Hawk I got in GTA V Online was a REAL helicopter?!?! How did I never hear about that thing?! I thought it was just some custom thing they threw together like some of the other military choppers throughout Grand Theft Auto. I love the Black Hawk so much. As a kid in the 90s, I loved playing the Delta Force PC games, and you'd usually be dropped off or picked up in a Black Hawk, so I grew to enjoy the beautiful sight of that sleek frame coming over the horizon, letting loose with miniguns on either side. Delta Force: Black Hawk Down (obviously) was the epitome of this, and it's a huge reason why I'm still in love with it today. So glad to finally see her in War Thunder!

[@Bob_Dickinson]

oh yea! since they made stealth technology with the F-117 night hawk (and some shenanigans with AGS program and some fiddling with some stealth battleships) the helicopter department was not escaped from the trend either. we had the RAH66 comanche ofcrouse, and then we got this. yes a stealth blackhawk, and the pics have been declassified recently, and gotta love how GTA now has made a parody of that aswell xD. i absolutely understand your love for the black hawk, its one of the most iconic helis in the world along side the apache, but the Blackhawk was more used as the workhorse of the USArmy,(and Marines Too? or was it navy?) its really cool to have alot of games where you can see the black hawk... absolutely incredible. im also happy that the longawaited black hawk is in the game too... i hope u enjoy grinding it! like i did with the apache man!!! o7

[@Bob_Dickinson]

UPDATE: just with a bit of research i realised, israel also has a stealth varient of the black hawk, just so it could drop spies in iran xDDD also update on the stealth blackhawk theaviationist.com/2011/05/17/stealth-black-hawk-update/

[@ODST_Parker]

@@Bob_Dickinson Okay, that one you posted there looks a lot more like the one in GTA. Cleaner design, less cobbled together. Not exact, the engine section is different, but the rest is spot on. Amazing, and honestly very pretty as well. I like it! But yeah, the Black Hawk is iconic for a reason. Not just a workhorse for just about every branch of the US military (and even civil applications), but also in many militaries around the world. Israel, Japan, Taiwan, Australia... there's like twenty countries with it in service. Sadly, I won't be playing it. I'm hopelessly far away from grinding helicopter trees, having barely stepped into the Italian one, my main nation. It's nice to look at though!

[@sgtsoap77]

These video remind me of those old history channel documentaries on vehicles and battles. Keep up the good work.

[@Bob_Dickinson]

ay man im glad that it was at decent quality man!

[@sgtsoap77]

It really brings back my child hood of coming home school and sitting in front of the TV and watching the history channel and watching those hour long documentaries. Best part about your videos is they apply to war thunder. I like the balance of your videos and that you timestamped/category the parts. @@Bob_Dickinson

That's one nasty big bird. I always enjoy flying big heavy choppers, as a Mi-24 enthusiast, so Blackbird looks really promising. Thanks for really good video and detailed review, Bob, always a joy to watch!

Oh yea they actually do have their own special charm. The door purpose usage of these helicopters are absolutely incredible. Thank you so much man! Im glad that you enjoyed it!❤❤❤

The MH-60L DAP: The helicopter Gaijin ALMOST got right.

[@deanmckellar619]

As beautiful as it looks, I wish there was a option to remove the AA Refuel Probe. As it stands there's no air to air refueling and it's cosmetic at best right now.

[@Bob_Dickinson]

Oh yes ofcourse... and the side pylons aswell... for becoming a normal blackhawk

[@pioter4738]

[@someoneiusetoknow9671]

Just Came Here from graphite's Video xD, just discovered a great youtuber, deserves more subs

[@Bob_Dickinson]

Thanks alot man! Welcome

[@crazygone5107]

Even though they added the guns to this chopper they are still borderline useless because they didn't bother giving them the option to adjust gun convergence. Needless to say but the guns are currently shooting WIDE thanks to the distance between pylons. I've going the best way to use them is just one on one side. But when this gets fixed i assure you the two LR30 cannons will absolutely shred everything

[@rickdubbink]

This is some great content dude, subbed

[@Bob_Dickinson]

thanks alot man! Welcome aboard!

[@pconty]

Another godtier video to watch, thank you!

[@Bob_Dickinson]

My pleasure mah man!

[@jaydenblain3599]

If would be neat if it had the door gunner mini guns. They're only 7.62, but if they had AI like bomber gunners it would be great plane deterrent. And maybe decent in rocket rushes

[@Bob_Dickinson]

Yeap! That would be interesting!

[@dylancole9062]

Love the vids!

[@gravyboat1808]

it sucks that gajin wont give the Blackhawk its full armament since it could carry 30mm gun pods and have either 7.62 minigun door guns or .50 cal door guns that could lock forward for pilot use

[@Bob_Dickinson]

yep... its tragic to see it like this...

Bob how many times did you change your microphone? Also this thing starts with 4 hellfires

[@Bob_Dickinson]

i didnt changed my microphone xD, Audition just Shat on my Audio so many times i had to re adjust so many effects. and yea i managed to test drive it with stock hellfires before gaijin giving me the Actuall testdrive

[@Chris-ts2yc]

i love how gaijin just keeps on not giving the American helis stuff they deserved. fire and forgets with the hellfire L's (2 minor and 1 major nations have it already), guns on the blackhawk (almost all heli have it already) and hellfire K's on the ah-1z (almost all apaches have it already) :)

[@Bob_Dickinson]

yea man... its sad to see it like this, hopefully we will see the american helis get the armaments they deserve, just in time like the APKWS IIs

[@Pilotthund]

What’s the best way to grind helis. Every time I play heli pve I get sad at spending 2 hours and only getting 20k after being at the top of the team

[@Bob_Dickinson]

You can also use ground realistic or ground simulator battles as well you can use boosters you receive everyday alongside assault ground/air arcade game modes. Atleast thats how i play helis now

[@Lancia_loaf]

Have you played heli sim? i find the grind alot easier there than pve and ground rb

[@Bob_Dickinson]

Well... unfortunately i haven't played it in a while, last time i played it it was with ka 50 spam and pantsir s1 dominating the battlefield, idk how it is now. But ill give it a try

Kinda sad that the Israeli one was cut from this update and dev blog, but the Israeli Mh-60 Armed Combat Demonstrator would be a bit better than the US one, with its 30mm, Spikes and Lahats.

oh yea... i wish i could see it aswell, but hopefully we will see it in the future !

Can u tell Gaijin to make heli Pve playable or make a seperate gamemode for rotary wings? pls bob

Yea... my god i trued to record videos for the T129 helicopter and it took me 16 minutes for a simple assault and defence. It was horrible. I will give feedback on it for gaijin... its been getting worse and worse day after day...

[@morrislee8512]

Man US didn't have 9.3 helicopter otherwise I'd grind the hell out of it and play heli PVE all the time

"ultimate review" yet only talks about GRB for 30secs because you dont play it... while the game is designed around it.

[@Bob_Dickinson]

Well... you play it alot because tou have proper lineups , i dont play it cuz i dont have the proper lineups for it, the reason why i include ground RB is because in some helis you can do more than simple rocket rushing and lobbing ATGMS(z19 being the prime example). Ground RB is one of the modes that you can play helis in , the other one is heli PVE, which i know how to play with.
