From its wiki page…

Vietnam War[edit]

In December 1967, the first OH-6As arrived in South Vietnam.[22] Its straightforward design made it easier to maintain than most other helicopters, its relatively compact 26 feet (7.9 m) main rotor made it easier to use tight landing zones. While its light aluminum skin could be easily penetrated by small arms fire, it also crumpled and absorbed energy in a crash while the rugged structure protected key systems and its crew. The OH-6 was relatively difficult to shoot down, and its occupants would often survive forced landings that would have likely been fatal onboard other rotorcraft.[22] The remaining H-13s were promptly withdrawn in favour of the OH-6s. Typically missions were flown during the daylight, starting at dawn; common roles included the clearance of landing zones and general intelligence/observation flights.[22]

It became common for OH-6s to operate in teams with other rotorcraft, particularly the Bell AH-1 Cobra attack helicopter. This teamwork was actively encouraged by Army officials, and led to the development of so-called “hunter-killer” tactics that sought to flush out and eliminate hostile ground targets.[23][22] Such a team would have normally comprised a single OH-6 that would fly relatively slow and at a low altitude while attempting to spot the presence of enemies. If the OH-6 came under fire, the nearby Cobra would then strike at the revealed enemy.[24][25] As to indicate the position of concealed enemy ground forces, the observer in the OH-6 would mark the spot using a smoke grenade, assisting other units in effectively firing upon them. Over time, the effectiveness of this pairing was such that enemies would often decide against firing on the relatively vulnerable OH-6 in fear of the response that would be unleashed by the AH-1.[22][23] Prior to the arrival of the AH-1, “hunter-killer” teams often relied on the firepower from armed models of the Bell UH-1 Iroquois utility helicopter.[26]

Recommend reading “Low Level Hell” by Hugh L. Mills, if you haven’t.
I hope the DCS mod will be good!

Is it normal to lose the ICLS on grayflag?

Flying the Jug for a bit

DCS: Flying Warbirds on the 4YA PO WWII Server

Edit: Had to switch to the Mustang because getting bounced by the whole Luftwaffe shortly after take off while still climbing with a heavy AG loadout at fairly low altitude is not fun

Edit: if you don’t mind just watch the high altitude engagement we had with a lonely Kurfürst in and out of contrails. It’s like high altitude chess. In the end we all went our separate ways without killing each other. In capable hands the Kurfürst is extremely dangerous at this altitude, simply due to its insane climb rate.

Showcasing take off and landing in the Jug off a small airstrip

DCS: Marianas - Pagan Airstrip

Edit: probably best to wait until it’s done processing (about 30min).
Edit 2: NVM it’s done

Operation Desert Storm #dcs

ED posted a short titled “Operation Desert Storm”. I rang the bell about needing an F-111 to do that properly (@Bogusheadbox )

[Harry_Bumcrack]

Well done that man

Too bloody right. How long does aan have to wait?

Holy heck! Briliant visuals! Nice montage!

The only thing I’m really unhappy about is the 2nd voice actor’s delivery in places and that’s entirely my fault. Had I more patience, I’d have gone back and actually been a director and given him context he needed. But, I was just so done with Vegas 18 that I wanted to finish this video and be done with that turd of code for good.

I’m always fascinated where DCS and Ace Combat cross. I’ve played a few AC games and enjoyed the over the top game style, but the realism in DCS always makes it seem like a great cross over. I won’t lie I wish there was some massive bundles of AC skins that could be downloaded in one go cause downloading 1000s of individual skins stops me from diving head first in the the ace combat play lol

I feel ya. When this campaign comes to fruition, I’ll be providing a pack of skins for that convenience.
