This Time For Real - ShackTac Arma 3

[@headrockbeats]

+Dslyecxi - This reduced PIP size and shape is _significantly_ better. So much easier to watch while also keeping track of what you're doing with the helicopter itself. Extra thumbs up for that.

[@PixelNorse]

What I love about Crane and Dslyecxi, is when they get into a situation like when they had to go get that supply truck to repair their bird, they turn into an old married couple and banter back and forth, it's heartwarming.

[@kushanblackrazor6614]

You two make a hell of a team. I think these are some of the most fun videos you've posted in a while.

[@dslyecxi]

Thanks, I'm glad you're enjoying them!

[@stangryn4402]

I agree. I'm loving all the chopper action with Dslyecxi and Crane.

[@drasleona6216]

its easy to enjoy footage of individuals having a good time and we just happen to be brought along.

[@_TestBot]

Hey just wanted to say thanks for putting the mission descriptions back in the videos. We appreciate the context they add :)

[@muzleflash1341]

These so called professional film makers spend millions of dollars making so called blockbusters but I enjoy these more than any I have seen at the movies, keep it up!

[@stormthegiant]

Crane: "Where's the KABOOM?!? I was told there was going to be an earth shattering KABOOM!!!" I got the reference....your efforts are not wasted here.

[@BernardLangham]

59:29 Crane: "I have eyes on stuff." Dslyecxi: "If you're confident, go ahead." Crane: Bravo: "Be aware, we are taking some..."

[@martinsmallridge4025]

Now if only Dslyecxi had celebrated the win at the end by vocalising "Bang, bang... bang... bang, bang"...

[@PixelNorse]

Yours and Cranes dynamic in situations like this when you're working together and the banter back and forth, makes me think of an old married couple if they were in a War Situation, its hilarious sometimes.

[@scottdavis7999]

Dslyecxi's videos are always great, but Crane is, by far, the best thing that ever happened to this channel! MORE CRANE!!!!

[@Dr_Cannibalism]

Solid Snake voice: "A Hind D? What's a Russian gunship doing here?"

[@alexmckinney5761]

I was watching this at like 3am and fell asleep, woke up with KZbin still playing but I had gone so far back it was autoplaying Arma 2 videos

[@sequorroxx]

Bradleys are scary enough; ninja bradley is nightmare fuel.

[@the_christopher]

The Bradley firing at you in the hind was serious pucker, even as a viewer. :P

[@GhostWulve]

A bit of Hind, a lot of Alligator, a whole ton of banter. Put it all together and it makes for another great video!

[@LucidDream]

34:40 Your co-pilot, despite sounding like a woman, has a lovely beard.

[@Anonymous_UserOrNot]

2018 man.. You never know might be trans😅

[@ryanschlotfeldt1070]

Dear Dslyecxi, Please more videos of you somehow surviving impossible situations. Oh wait, that's basically every video. I love you. Yours, Ryan

[@benswanson914]

Ah, excellent! Time for another extended episode of the "Dsylexci and Crane Show" - wonder what philosophical musings and/or absurd hijinx our intrepid duo will share with us today? My favorite events feel as though the characters from MST3k were on set during filming, rather than reacting after. Real-time snark and commentary - there is no substitute. Settling in to enjoy the show...

[@twoknife]

1:03:13 The real star of the video has appeared :)

[@Uhlan_]

You two are becoming a Tracy and Hepburn sort of team.

[@Kommradable]

I've been subbed to you for a long time and it's nice to finally see some Hind gameplay!

[@ponder109]

47:50 to 48:00 That infantry squad Knows the secret to perfect Concealment

[@pwolfamv]

You guys are amazing: both flying/gunning and the banter. Made my day.

[@jaymorrison2419]

New levels of awesome. "...We stole the truck, repaired our vehicle, and are in the air again, hows your day going?" no big...

[@SirPueo]

That's quite a nice replacement, early mi-24 to ka-52

[@Blood-Lord]

Amazing as always. To bad this time I didn't have popcorn with me.

[@alanlawz]

excellent stuff i admire the will to stay in the fight

[@raltor40]

That Hind! Those Rockets are a pain in my side.

[@TheMinipily]

Damn fine landing in that Black-shark, can't stop this pain train team! ;D

[@headrockbeats]

+TheMinipily - _Which_ landing? xD

[@TheMinipily]

Well when I saw it, the one where he glided it after being hit by the Bradley but seeing the other, they're all amazing. Wouldn't be a Dslyecxi helicopter video if there wasn't a 'going down' in there.

[@headrockbeats]

So true. I'm always disappointed when that _doesn't_ happen at least once in a helicopter video. You know he's going to stick the landing, the question is how awesome it's going to be this time. :) That's why I love ":Clint:" so much - by far the worst situation and best recovery Dslyecxi's ever had, IMHO. (/watch?v=p88G8LSB__s)

[@muzleflash1341]

it's the KA52 alligator not the black shark which is the KA50 single seat

[@tax1643]

I heard your cat meow and I turned around to see if it was my cat.

[@kluas948]

That was great finding the parked helicopter twice XD

[@headrockbeats]

+Dslyecxi - A helicopter tactics question: I remember plenty of older videos where, in order to deal with AA threats, you and others have used the trees for cover to maneuver around and pop up for a quick shot - which made a lot of sense and often seemed very effective. Is there a specific reason why you didn't use similar maneuvers here to deal with the Bradleys? Does that not work anymore / is not applicable in the particular situation in this mission / some other reason?

[@dslyecxi]

The angles involved made it impractical. Getting low drastically cut sight lines, trees were tall, and the clearings were small. Popping up would thus mean being very close to an enemy threat that could easily disappear again.

[@headrockbeats]

Thanks. That makes sense.

[@Chopstorm.]

Is there going to be a non pip version uploaded as well, or are you through doing that?

[@dslyecxi]

Rendered it but forgot to upload it. I'll upload it now and link it, but it will be awhile before it processes fully.

[@Chopstorm.]

Thanks, appreciate that you take the time to upload an alternate version for what's more then likely a small portion of your viewer base.

[@dslyecxi]

[@Nangleator22]

A brave fight against ARMA!

[@bendgrimes]

Really great job man! That refueling tho! Did you ever figure out what broke your fire action?

[@amodosandstone9341]

The issue with your RMB is why I remapped interact. Tho I did it to stop those pesky misfires. It has helped when silly mods leave hidden actions open.

[@lukesky36]

That hovering was great for the gunner at 1:35:00 but opened you up for a missile too be shot at you nice landing though

[@lolroflroflcakes]

Well in her defense we don't send people to space on missiles we send them on rockets and they are still guided/controlled in flight.

[@Thoreaufare]

Does Crane use headtracking as well?

[@FromMyBrain]

Waiting years to see you back in a hind!

[@robomonkey896]

0:38 'Use your words' Lmao XD

[@throngcleaver]

Eby was like, "Pew. Pew, Pew!

[@TxRJordan]

How come you had a lot of the enemy vehicles warping? Correct me if I'm wrong haven't seen that particular problem for awhile in your videos

[@anthonybruneau9762]

TxRJordan Arma has been being a bit odd of late in many servers

[@violentincendiary]

Hi Eby!

[@anthonybruneau9762]

Hey dslyecxi what mod is this helo from I'd love to try it

[@Supersize14]

48:00 they came from the ground.

[@Fellow_Traveller1985]

What terrain is this?

[@Havantus]

That trololol eject. Dad joke lvl 9000. Also, you likely ate the tracer but not the round itself (maybe passed behind you?).

[@muzleflash1341]

been watching these latest uploads over and over and was thinking, what if they reversed the roles, crane pilot and Dslyecxi as gunner / co-pilot, do you think there would be a bit of backseat driving going on? Would be fun to see.

[@comcastjohn]

What server are you playing on, and mod, if I may ask? You guys are great! I love Crane, she is cool and good as well. You guys make a good team. I would like to play Arma 3 like this, but I have been playing Exile. I just bought Arma 3 a month ago and am loving and discovering videos with playing like this is awesome. Thank you for the videos. I have been watching your flying videos and will be practicing. :) 07

[@NeetavaArgonian]

On some of these missions do the enemy AI just spawn in over time and move to the area of operation? Or are they just waiting to move in over time? Been quite curious about this the past few videos.

[@dslyecxi]

You can't have many AI active in Arma without performance going to hell, so we spawn them in as needed.

[@Speedy6617]

They have one or several game masters that spawn in AI thruout the mission. They also make the AI react to events faster and more realistic.

[@NeetavaArgonian]

I assumed as much. Was just curious how it worked. Thanks.

[@filmmaster987654321]

on what servers do you play? and do you use trackir?

[@FlinnGaidin]

Private ShackTac server, and yes TrackIR is used.

[@gamingwithritz632]

1min in already love it

[@cmdr_sigma]

Superior Russian Teeth grill is able to eat a round protecting both the vehicle and its inhabitants!

[@BrenBrenMartin]

That must be the jankiest helicopter I've ever seen. I keep expecting it to just spontaneously combust or something.

[@emazz2717]

Map?

[@Rob-zj2ev]

He dslyecxi keep up the good work with good game.

[@darkwolf7481]

What does index mean when flying? And do you play on pvp or pve?

[@dslyecxi]

Index means to reset the sensor to the default orientation, which is aligned with the nose.

[@darkwolf7481]

Dslyecxi Okay awesome! Thanks!

[@FlinnGaidin]

They do both PvP and PvE.

[@darkwolf7481]

Flinn Gaidin Ah okay thanks. I knew they did pvp but wasn't sure if they did pve

[@FlinnGaidin]

PvE are what most of his videos are, at least lately, and he's stated that he prefers PvE, which is why those are what he mostly uploads. Each video states what it is at the start; 'Co-op' for PvE, and 'Adversarial' for PvP.

[@valk_tl1433]

HAHA! I loved this one, great stuff

[@ponder109]

:P Half surprised this video wasn't name "Fuel troubles"

[@danielbrown6600]

The ACE3 powered repair/refuel/rearm truck, its been in a couple of your missions lately, its a super cool addition, is there any way others can have access to the scripts for it please? It would be great for a lot of missions! PS awesome video and great teamwork from Crane and yourself!

[@rampie00]

Loved it

[@HorstEwald]

YYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@HorstEwald]

[Spoilers] Oh, no... you got a KA :/

[@headrockbeats]

Felt the same way.

[@HorstEwald]

Maybe next time. They should try the P variant with lots of guided missiles, so it's fun for both :P

[@TheJEK5000]

why is there a propeller inside your cockpit? how distracting

[@michaeldove6603]

agreed, that stupid fan is really rather annoying

[@FromMyBrain]

it moves air

[@FirstDagger]

+Jason Karel ; Early Russian helos do not have air conditioning, this is simply a fan to keep the pilots cool (Mi-8 also has that).

[@TalsetFireSeed]

tfw no gf to operate with

[@thekillerhumphrey]

How many pilots does it take to figure out a fuel truck? Answer... Still unknown 😆

[@sillyslapper92]

I'm no expert but the damage model of the KA-52 seems to be a little too forgiving. I'm aware that attack helos tend to have some armour around some of the most vital components but the fact that this helo seemed to be able to eat a few 25mm shells before taking catastrophic damage seems wrong to me.

[@dslyecxi]

Doesn't seem far-fetched given what the Ka-50 can survive in DCS Black Shark.

[@1tzugaris]

hi

[@daftmedic1]

When ya getting married?

[@TheJEK5000]

Dslyecxi .. id love to see your knowledge and connections, create a new and improved non glitchy Arma. Maybe using Unreal 4 engine

[@DavidGPT]

Another landing gear down video... lol

[@dslyecxi]

You do realize that there's no case to be made for landing gear up, right? I don't understand how people can make this comment - the only thing that explains it is that anyone saying that hasn't flown in Arma with regularity.

[@DavidGPT]

Actually, I have 741 hours of Arma 3 and probably 70% is flying helicopters.The landing gear beig down doesn't bother me, but when I'm flying an aircraft, whether it be arma 3, DCS, X-Plane or any game really it feels unnatural having a retractable gear not retracted. It was just something I noticed.

[@dslyecxi]

Yeah, but why? Consider any situation where you're low to the ground and have to autorotate. Do you really want to remember to put the gear down? There's no actual FM benefit to having it up, the only downside is that it can slightly block the sensor view at times, but that's trivially resolved. The upside is that keeping the gear extended means one fewer item to go through when an emergency happens.

[@DavidGPT]

I'm not saying its a bad thing having the landing gear down the entire flight. I just commented on it because its so natural to me that as soon as I get a positive rate of climb at takeoff I retract the landing gear and as soon as I know I'm gonna get in touch with the ground (emergency or not) I naturally lower the landing gear and don't even think about it. It doesn't bother me and that doesn't make your flights and videos better or worse. After all, it's just a landing gear.
