AH-64D APACHE CONVOY IN FALLUJAH - ArmA 3 Milsim Operation 

They were having a conversation in that building and suddenly he was dead. that was actually like a freaking movie scene.

28:49 "He auto-rotated his first crash landing!" He auto-rotated his *last* crash landing

I was in Fallujah in 2003 running a convoy escort security mission about a week before the Blackwater guys got hit. Lots of burned out armor was still in the area at that time, IED"s were a new thing to us, and all we has were non armored humvees for patrol. Up-armors weren't in theater for another six months. The interiors would hit 140 degrees in the summer, man I dont miss that, Watching the passing traffic , especially the white sedans brought back some memories from back in the day. having a pair of Apaches assist with convoys was always a welcome sight to us grunts on the ground. Thanks for a great mission and some memories.

When he's in the air: air superiority when he's on the ground: ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh the fruit is eating me 31:12

Destroys hospital to kill one man on the roof. Hearts and minds, Drewski!

This was hilarious to me "Wave to the Heli boiz" 5 seconds later "MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY!!"

The fact that drew can talk someone through an auto rotate shows how well he understands piloting

"Hawk, this is Alpha." "Hawk, go ahead."

30:10 "jayyyyy !" "Whaaatt ?" "Get into cover jaayyy !" "Whyy ?" "Becuz the wall is gone !"

When that guy made the landing with the heli after being hit with the rocket made me super happy and now I really want to play this game

21:25 "Goat ahead" "Goat seems to be..." "GOAT HAS RPG, REPEAT, GOAT HAS RPG. ENGAGE"

The whole story of Cwar feels like a damn movie, I got so sad when he finally realized how epic it was how he landed then got shot through the head...

26:20 They got my boy cwar. His last words were "Oh no" has he went out in style with a sick belly flop.

that crashlanding gave me chills. you can even hear Alpha preparing an extraction force in the background during the whole controlled falling

As a Apache Mechanic it is super cool to see autorotation working in a Milsim game. I always wondered if they actually had it working in their physics. Super cool!

the whole series of events from 29:41 through to 30:23 was hilarious. practically walks over an IED, team mate stares at IED in disbelief, sniper round deletes cover, J goes rambo at the sniper and fails to see his cover has betrayed him, and also cannot hear Drew shouting to get in cover as his gun is so damn loud then realises his cover has gone and scarpers. 11/10

"1 times contact on hospital style building" "copy that. You are clear to fire on the hospital" JESUS! 0_0

Wall in any other game: “I provide sold cover for almost any caliber of gunfire, hide behind me if you wanna live” Wall in this arma 3 mod: *takes two rounds of sniper fire* “aight, imma head out”

The professionalism of the roleplay really made the immersion. Several times I genuinely though I was watching real footage when it swapped to the heli's view. Awesome job!

*Shoots hospital* Reasonable person: OMG that's against the Geneva Convention! Me: Well, we're not in Geneva, now are we?!

To the Groundvehicle Footage guy: "It's a machine gun! MACHINE Gun!" xD

That intro sequence alone made this video amazing.

No video you’ve ever made has come close to the cinematic work of art that is this video. Not saying I haven’t enjoyed your other videos, I just think this one takes the cake

To cwar a soldier, pilot, and most of all a close friend of those around him...he could be counted on to get you back home on that last day he helped bring a convoy home as a song I liked said "I would like to think I saved a few good lives but I couldn't save my own" you were a great man cwar that day escorting your friends and protecting them you'll be missed by all don't worry others will continue your work...you?...relax you earned it

My neighbor who I go to church with went through something really similar to this. I don't think he was shot down, I think he had a catastrophic and highly kinetic engine failure in the middle of a patrol. Pilot died on impact, he get busted up but was ambular and hid for a while to evade capture. Had to set off some explosives in the Apache and run away. He was picked up by Marines who recovered the body of the pilot, which had been mutilated by the bad guys. I'm not sure who they were fighting, I think it was boko haram or early ISIL. Whoever it was, they were YEETING TOWs at the recovery teams but got absolutely destroyed by the Marines. One of my friends that I went to Nepal with was on the recovery team and got his purple heart that day for taking an RPK round through his shoulder which broke his clavicle, shattered his humerus, destroyed the tendons, eviscerated some muscle, ruptured his thoracoacromial artery and almost killed him. My neighbor still hobbles into church every Sunday, is one of the best fabricators/Welders/Machinists I've ever met, and has a healthy flock of really really cute ducks/chickens. Has a thousand yard stare that makes you shiver, a big ass scar across his face and a fucked up lip, and brings us eggs every few weeks. Great guy. Amazing person.

“AAAAAAH THE FRUIT IS EATING MEEE!!”

hE LANDED HIS FIRST CRASH LANDING AUTO IT WAS SO COOL *litteraly dies 5 seconds later*

26:18 Man i paused right as Cwar was shot... that was sad af 😂

drew: good job cwar, good job 1 millisecond later killfeed: cwarfighter was killed lmaooo

This op was absolutely amazing to watch. I love how not only did the convoy have over watch from an Apache but they got shot down and then had to survive after getting grounded. I found the post-crash part extra thrilling. Would love to see more like this Drew!

That guidance on auto rotating that heli was solid!

I don’t think I’ve ever been so excited watching a gameplay video as I was seeing you guys pull off that autorotation. Urban area, under fire, hydraulic failure at the last second. Epic.

"Can you badge a dead body in real life or does God stop you from doing it?" Literally LOLed at that

Me: "Wow, things are going pretty smoothly for my first time flying in ArmA" 😅 Missile: "Think again, bitch!" 🤭

holy shit. this game is amazing. the talk-down autorotation by a new helicopter pilot (using a keyboard?!), just incredible. this was awesome!

This was both entertaining and gave me a newfound appreciation for anyone willing to serve their country witnessing their brothers last moments right in front of them, thousands of miles from home. God bless the service men and women. And God bless Arma and Drewski.

I had Apache longbows flying over me at Fort Jackson when I was in a PB. They flew nap of the earth everywhere it was cooool. They did it during the day and night👍🏻 Army Aviation is the coolest thing in the world.💯

Whoever is leading the OP sounds like a real cool dude.

18:42 Gotta wonder how many times people have said that IRL lol

27:48 That made me smile for some reason. Loved the milsim overwatch and the uh "eventful" landing

Dude everything about this--from the radio chatter to the death scene while having a convo in the building--was so cinematic and IMMERSIVE lmao More of this content!

:> I am a viewer from Iraq,Also there is a lot of Iraqis playing this game,Also a little fun fact that there are many of viewers from Iraq

The way the gameplay perspective shifts from the ground cam to IR BHOT cam in he beginning of the video supported by the professional milsim radio chat feels much better than many army movie scenes trying to build tension. And this is just a game ! Gamer power ! It pleased a film critic !

One of my most favourite videos so far. Keep it up Drewski! Hearing those truck engines as you we're waiting for evac. and the sound of gunfire filling the whole town as they came to your (and Cwar's) rescue!

Dang I did not know you were in a race with phly, i just know that phly is one of the bigger warthunder youtubers.

I was in Operation Vigilant Resolve and the start of Operation Phantom Fury - I was blown away at the detail of the Fallujah map when I drove through it in ArmA3

great video. love that mayday callout and the panic of landing and the comms, and then that death in conversation

Good clear, calm and positive communication from Alpha in this one.

18:18 The Geneva Convention would like to know your location Allow Block

That ending had me thinking of the halo objective to simply “survive” lol

this was more tense then most movies. truly entertaining content

29:55 “Why did you look at it?” Literally all hell breaks loose!

26:15 LOL this is every Arma experience I have ever had. YAY DID YOU SEE WHAT I JUST why am I dead now?

The videos keep getting better and better, Drewski. My favorite milsim channel easy

This was like a movie! Especially the ending with the straight up Black Hawk Down scenario... What a crazy one! Great vid.

Talking a pilot through his first AR. You BEAST! :D Nice job.

Drew: im proud of you Cwar Cwar: dies from a headshot Also Drew: THE FRUITS ARE EATING ME

Hearing a guy in a game drop something during a milsim briefing is hilarious man. ARMA and squad feel more authentic every day

That heli auto-rotate crash landing was slick.. poor guy caught a headshot while getting his deserved pat on the back lol

The fact that you have to auto rotate the heli when shot down makes this game much better. The detail is great.

31:10 "Why do i keep getting stuck, aaaaaaaa, the fruit is eating meeee !!!"

Fun fact about Arma3: It is now the basis of a simulator which is used by the German Army during large exercises

This was outstanding, really well done :)

That autorotation landing was TEXTBOOK. Accurate situation and everything

Phly v drewski sub race update: Phlydaily- 937k, gained 1k since yesterday. Op Drewski- 913k

One of the best ARMA episodes ever, by anyone, easy. Beautiful, man.

Freaking intense moment, right after the great emergency landing. That was brutal.

Holy cow that was intense, loved it!

I just remembered "Black Hawk Down", great job Drewski

"The fRUIT IS EATING MEE" -Drewski 2020

Holy crap this was better than most movies!!! Keep up the great work man!!

ground guys general camera work and such was clean

That autorotation tho, amazing job on first try. Congrats to the pilot!

That's some great heli flying skill! Bringing the heli down nice and smooth after being hit that was crazy!

That was the best n first controlled crash. Great call outs!

Dang, this was super fun to watch! Felt like I was watching a movie or something. Loved the communication and the intense atmosphere.

It really hurts to see MARPAT in an Apache lol. Great video Drew keep up the good work!👍

Damn, I must have gone through every single emotion watching this, don't know whether to laugh or cry. GREAT vid. Great editing too.

I’m glad you brought back flying I’ve watched every video of you in a jet or heli

Never stop a convoy. Always keep on the move unless necessary...love the video brought back crazy combat memories from Mosul

That was a sick intro. The Apache is perhaps the greatest attack helo of all time

That emergency landing was a freaking thriller, good job.

Thanks I really enjoyed that. Good job!

That was awesome. This is a great vid. Nice Helicopter evac and barring control

I absolutely love these videos they give a good perspective of what a soldier is going through I'm the Millitary

Its crazy how this channel grew up i remember being subbed since it had 50K

Nice operation, realism and fun 🤙😎

26:20 movie scene right here jeez “Good job-“ *completely filled with gunfire suddenly”

MOREEEE DREWSKIII CONTENTTTTTT!! In an APACHEEEEEE. Just made my day

"Good jo-" *friendly gets shot in head*

Damnn super cool video Drewski!!!

Thank you guys for your service!!

might i suggest the "turret enhanced" mod. that way it will show the grid you are looking at, and the bearing, on the HUD as it does in real life. that mod also adds and option to add map markers where you are looking trough the scroll menu. its a really nice to have mod when you do stuff like helicopter gunner, or CAS pilot. workshop ID: =1623498241

man, watching this makes me want to get into Arma 3 properly and go into a unit for ops like this.

That was some blackhawk down stuff. great job.

that "invincible" guy on the building finally getting mulched was great

New subscriber here, thank you for posting genuine content and refraining from clickbaits like most RU-vidrs out there today. Also, thank you for working so well with my fellow military veterans. I just got done watching your Door Gunner video in "Squads" and I can't get enough of your gameplay. Semper Fidelis my friend and happy hunting!

An accurate use of “repeat” over comms lol

I simply cannot express enough how much i appreciate your content, and how much these videos of yours have helped me the past weeks. Recently found you, and now i'm both benching you, as well as got back into both Arma 3 as well as 2. Keep doing what you do bud, and again...thank you. I'm just a middle aged dude from across the world, but anyone that can bring me content that helps in these crappy covid days and what not..my hat's off. Have a great day bud. Stay safe..stay awesome.

Love watching your videos and the milsim content
