@@jrodz808 It's really nimble and the flight model doesn't result in bobbing and weaving all around the place, like a typical SCAS equipped helicopter is actually like to fly. It also doesn't enter VRS within nanoseconds so you can actually just fly, as opposed to 'managing VRS entry parameters' like some of the other modules. I won't get into the VRS debate, but this one is just fun to operate. Relatively simple too, so it doesn't require the bookwork of the Apache.

It seems like DCS really struck gold with the releases of the F-4E and the Kiowa.

I got into DCS over this last winter specifically because of the F-4Es release and I am so glad I did! I haven't been this into a game in over a decade.

On the last clip where you were trying to Point Track the Plane, if I'm in Area Track and want to enter point track, I typically hit the Slave/Unlsave button ONCE to exit Area Track, enter manual mode, and then hit the point track button. I have not had good luck with the offset acquire functions(probably user error). But this is the most reliable way for me to swap between Area Track and Point Track

Same here. I have not loaded another module since I got the Kiowa. I was surprised how stable and easy it is to fly. And the AI Pilot is brilliant. The only thing I have been struggling with is mapping the controls, try to streamline it for optimal performance. That’s just a me issue and takes time. Throwing a smoke grenade out the door to mark the location of baddies then engaging them with my rifle should be illegal. Too much fun! And yes, hiding behind a building with just the MMS above, picking out targets the popping up, launching a Hellfire then dropping back down while the missile tracks is just crazy cool.

For what you were engaging you should have taken APKWSs because you can carry 14 of them and for lightly armored targets like BMPs and ZSUs, they are more than enough, and they work exactly the same way as the Hellfires but you don't have to swap your LASER codes to fire the last one. They are really the best thing to carry for this type of flying. Or carry 7 APKWS and an M3 .50cal for infantry but 4 Hellfires is not a very versatile loadout.

and to bad its way over priced, WAYYYY OVERPRICED. its literally the most expensive helicopter in DCS . and in DCS this helo doesn't fit anywhere, for modern the apache is worlds better, even for cold war, every other helicopter is faster, and better armed. Except maybe the huey but at least that can sling and carry stuff. Its not this helo's fault specifically its DCS's fault, as there really is no infantry in the game and it needs a major overhaul
@Savage_Viking2 ай бұрын

@TacticalOni2 ай бұрын
The Apache upon full release sometime in the future will be 10 dollars more expensive than the KW. One of the major selling points is the fact the Kiowa is essentially full featured out of the box, and the sticker shock is coming from the fact that it wasn't being sold for 50 dollars for a year in pre-order, then for 60 in early access, then to 70 in full release (which is ED's price model.) But like the guys who flew these things for real will tell you, its not the platform, it's the mission. Yes, the Apache is a juggernaut, and it can carry 4 times the hellfires, has a better gun that doesn't need a grease pencil mark to aim, et cetera, but the KW is a smaller platform that can get places the Apache can't. I also find the searching and targeting capabilities of the KW a little more intuitive, but I prefer the Aeroscout mission over the pure attack mission, so while I have both, my loyalty certainly lies in the OH-58
@fastfed2 ай бұрын
@@TacticalOni if you think this thing is fully done you're out of your mind, it's not even close. We will see updates and fixes for years to come so stop with that excuse. Even if it was a full release, the way it fits into dcs is very awkward and at most should have been a 49.99 helicopter. There is no scouting in dcs and even there was there's no data link, so you expect people to use radios ,not happening. It's plain helicopter with little features and boring low quantity weapons. Again if this wasn't dcs or if dcs had been updated 10 years ago as it should have been things might be different
@TacticalOni2 ай бұрын
@fastfed I can see some fixes that need to be made, no release is perfect. But, you didn't have to wait to use certain weapons or sensors or capabilities, they were all there, and will be there. Importantly, I would like to quell how pugnacious you're acting while also defending my position on the matter, so all I can simply say is that nothing is for everyone. I enjoy it, i know many people that enjoy it, and believe it or not, in a more fleshed out cooperative environment, you can scout, and you can make it work in the ways it was historically employed. One can hope that once the dynamic campaign works its way into the game someday, the single player scout will make more sense than it does now. For a lot of people it seems that they were expecting another apache and had over 4 years to understand what the machine could and couldn't do and chose not to do the research.
