I just bought the Gazelle (and the F-5). I had it for a bit during beta to write some articles and thought it was a really cool experience. One of my ever-lasting sim “cool” moments is going to be flying MP with @fearlessfrog in shared cockpit and us puzzling over how to get the switches right…it was soooooo much fun.
I only played a bit of the campaign…but it looked like it was pretty good (and seeing those IR pointers at night is always cool). If I weren’t in the middle of A-10C “training”, I’d be flying the Gazelle right now…
Yep, the shared cockpit experience is fantastic, especially when you are navigating and scouting the area ahead whilst your pilot is manoeuvring between the buildings to remain of the scope of that SA-11 system just 5 kilometres away. You feel like the hunter of a Gazelle, the name isn’t quite right
Sadly in our run Fridge had some technical difficulties with a mountain and I got baguette’d after killing a friendly Shilka, however near_blind ended an su-27 and Aero and Bogus completed their runs RTB’d and we captured the FARP.
Consider this a highly successful mudspike mission…<50% casualties.
I’ve seen other types of ac interacting well, such as UAVs, Yaks and Red Cargo ac. Still some attention needed to avoid taxiway conflicts - certainly things are better.
