Scout Pilot - Learning the Kiowa

Excellent, I shall be in a voice channel on the Mudspike Discord, we can visit the Rotorheads server. Though keep in mind you need to get a code from the auto-bot on their server to confirm you read a rules message.

if that doesn’t work out we can figure something out on our own anyway.

I might join in too. I fly stick&rudder on any chopper. Haven’t studied any systems lately, so I’d be most useful driving someone around who knows how to :wink:

Awesome, it is turning out to be a real and proper rotor party! First one to crash buys a round!

I’m in…. I have all the maps except Iraq. I’m most proficient in the Kiowa at the moment, although I can fly something else if needed.

Count me as very likely for Saturday. Can fly the Kiowa, but really Jonesing for some OH-6A action. :metal:

I am fairly competent in most the helos, (but don’t ask me to cold start a mi8🤣) and it’s been a while since I flew the gazelle or Huey …but would love to have a rotor session

Alright, lets keep the discussion in this topic from now on and allow Beach to continue his Kiowa efforts in a bit more silence :wink:

Another easy trip to the static target range. I think I’m being lured into bad tactics because I’m sure I won’t survive the point-blank shooting I’m doing at the uncontested target range. This time we are slinging 70mm rockets…fun stuff once you get the sight picture dialed in.

One of the funniest things in the tutorial is the statement by the instructor that: “one of the hardest things for scout pilots to learn to do is count backwards from seven…” - because there is no remaining rocket inventory data in the helicopter. You can, of course…just always look out the window into the front of the pod… :rofl:

its a really fun helo, like a mini apache, but without all the computers trying to fly for you. the APKWS rockets are a blast (literally) and leaning out of the copilots seat with an M4 in VR is fantastic
