DCS Hind Tutorial #3- Unguided Weapons Employment- The Bump 

Yeah once you get better you can extend the range out. As a Kiowa guy I’m used to just being really close.

Yeah the range of S-5 rockets is pretty impressive, the Chechens actually modified them to be shoulder fired AT weapons to make up for their lack of ATGMs in the second war. Somehow they managed to lob those things a good couple Km and still score hits often enough to make it worthwhile.

@@MrMattumbo I think it varied greatly, especially during that time of history. If they had been stored properly sure, but nothing worked in Russia at that time. If you got a batch of rockets that spent a year in a leaky warehouse that did not receive funding to fix the roof you got results like this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kTSHyL6RBNU.html 26 seconds into the clip

@@anzacwargaming1698 Yeah the book I read mentioned an account from the Chechens of that happening with their shoulder fired version. Supposedly it zipped around all over the place yet still somehow managed a direct hit on a Russian vehicle lmao (not sure I trust that, but crazy things happen in war). Apparently a lot of the Chechen S-5s were either stolen from various sources or actually scavenged off downed Hinds (apparently they were quite good at shooting them down) so frankly I'm amazed even half of them worked properly coming off a crashed helo.

@@MrMattumbo the Libyans had to show the chechens they are even more "allahu ackbar"! 3.bp.blogspot.com/-LQ0D1HStGR8/TZvYigEfcZI/AAAAAAAANHU/G38bODfoDMw/s1600/Untitled.jpg

Nah, in true DCS fashion, it'll be about BOTH lol

@@Munky332 I mean what system does it have 🤣🤣🤣

@@VuLamDang Systems means more than combat systems (I assume that's what you are thinking? like the A10's MFD's/Tpod?) For example, learning the hydraulics, electrics, communicaion/navigation, fire-detection/fire-suppression...

@@Munky332 ha ha i was kidding but it's kinda half truth... In this context we're talking about combat system (and it still have some: the sight and the ATGM, which is handled by the AI if you're fly alone). So its work load in term of managing systems is pretty light. All other systems is equally challenging on other airframe

True! And also true about almost all the Russian modules in the game. They do not add many systems for quality of life experience, but if you know the systems a that are there and employ solid tactics ,the platforms are well capable of of doing what they were designed for.

yes please more tactic videos i hate the feeling that i know the aircraft systems but i cant deploy weapons as effective as possible also it feels really badass to do those maneuvers :)

Thanks for watching!

Actually spoke to Wags about that today. It’s in the works.

@@CasmoTV AWESOME sir. Thank you very much

Cheers!

Agreed

Easy to slide

Thanks buddy. I do my best 🤷🏻‍♂️

Or rather it needs to make sure it's never interlaced at any point to begin with. =)

Yeah that’s a good reason. Also visibility.

The manuvers he's doing aren't at super high speeds he's at around 250-300kph when he initiates the climb for the reverse turn. You see Mi-24s do them at airshows fairly often.

@@crazygmanssimstuff I was just offering a caution that might be helpful if the bird is properly simulated.

Just takes time. Control touch comes with experience. Small movements.

It’s been used thousands of time in real life. Understand that dcs AI to aircraft fire from tanks and personnel is unnaturally effective. Most people shooting up at aircraft never apply near the amount of lead they need to; a dramatic climb like that, especially with an off axis angle, is bedazzling to rando guy on the ground.

@@CasmoTV Makes sense. Thank you.

Mode is off. SAS is pitch and roll on.

Rotor RPM? Do you mean the collective? That adjusts the pitch angle of the rotor blades, not the RPM. That is kept steady as much as possible by the electronics of the helicopter.

@@jubuttib sorry, yes - collective. I usually run in with it almost max, but noticed you had it much less than max (60%+ish)

@@matswane Not an expert by any means, but here's my two cents: I tested my cruising speeds at various blade angle positions (basically what speeds I ended up at when trimming for level flight at a given height (forget what exactly but well out of ground effect) and there wasn't a huge gain in speed between max and like 80%, I basically hit a bit over 300 km/h and stuck there. Slowing down a bit to around 250 km/h, like Casmo here, is still fast, and you have more options with your controls since you're not already redlining something. Oh, and the reason I'm talking about "speed" when you were talking about collective, higher blade angle => more thrust from the rotor system, which at least in theory means that you can push the nose further down while maintaining enough lift to stay level, and since the rotor is pointing more backwards now you're getting more forward thrust. Of course it's not exactly that simple when you take into account translational lift and the lift from the stub wings (which isn't insignificant). At lower speeds you'll get less lift from those, and must add thrust via the collective to balance it out, but still.

I’m just used to having no sight at all lol. The more I play I’ll mess with it.

💪🏼

Nope. Stick is stock

I’ve seen it in manuals somewhat but that’s maybe not how they would do it.

I have at least seen some documentation showing similar patters for the Ka-50/52, so seems likely.

Into the wind is best if able. Also consider the sun just like in jets.

@@CasmoTV thank you :)

You’d have to talk to RU-vid. I render it as best I can in resolve. Doesn’t look bad on my playback. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@CasmoTV good old youtube. even running at 4k here its very pixilated. having difficulty reading your gauges. who knows maybe its my end. but thanks anyway! always learn a lot. my major issue is evading fire....

Yeah I’ve had a few people comment but it’s hard for me to know if it’s my end or theirs. I rendered for 4K but even after a year of this channel I’m still learning about video and audio processing. It’s a lot more than most people know. Evading fire- don’t be overly aggressive. Make small changes in direction, airspeed and altitude but don’t yank and bank all over the place. Doesn’t really translate like in a jet.

Circle of action technique.

Just gotta keep it in trim. You might feel sideways.

Can you really use the ATGM in hover that well? To get launch authorization the nose needs to be quite far down unless you're in valley and the targets are on the hills, so you'd have to dip down momentarily at least to get a shot off. Getting the sight back on target would be a bastard... The reason it worked in the tutorial mission AFAIK is because you're in active pause during it.

Nothing says you have to be aiming at the target to fire 😏

@@CasmoTV I... guess so... So look high enough to get tone, then move onto the target... Clever. And I'm an idiot. =)

@@jubuttib it works. I tried it from altitude. Not from a hover yet but the principle is the same. .

@@CasmoTV Aye, now that I thought about it, it's obvious. I mean you almost always lose sight of the target anyway when you shoot, what with the smoke trails, so there's no real harm. Other than being a sitting duck, I mean. =) Some of the tanks/APCs/IFVs in DCS have missiles, do you know roughly at what range they start to engage you?

Well the natural tendency with clockwise rotor is to turn the aircraft counterclockwise (equal and opposite reaction) to make the torque work with you. This is why the canopy is intentionally designed with more visibility to the left.

@@SmallishBear020 Youre right! What was i thinking... *Crawls back under my rock*

Zing

Me too! Just watch it ten times. 🤷🏻‍♂️

No trim

I haven’t set a curve on the stick. Same stick and extension.

Gross

@@CasmoTV Hahahaha. Haters gonna hate! In the end, they all do the same thing…..

Might be YT? Idk. I’ll admit I’m not the smartest on how al that works but I try and render at the highest frames and everything that I can. Might be something I’m doing. Not my love language, sadly.

@@CasmoTV What editor do you use and what's your render/export settings? If you're using a preset make sure it's not an interlaced one, that's likely what gives you the horizontal 'displacement' of every other line, as it only really renders half a new image for each new frame.

No curves. Just pure Casmo. 🤘🏻

@@CasmoTV damn I guess I need to more gentle and practice then

As long as the terrain is fairly flat, I don't see why not. As soon as you dive towards the target, the radar altimeter combined with the helicopter angle should provide a decent firing solution.

What he said.

@@Antares2 Alright I'll give it a shot. I noticed that it needs a moment to settle as you are getting on target so I thought it might not be suitable for a more dynamic approach.

@@Crysinator for myself i've found it easy to get fixated on the "CCIP" sight which causes target fixation and can cause you to end up chasing the piper. Usually I use the fixed net sight to orientate and position the aircraft, and then will use the "CCIP" sight once i'm in line with the target for final correction.

Keep in mind that in addition to automatic ranging, the ASP-17 has a manual range mode. In this mode the computer is calculating a _reverse_ problem, assuming the range you insert on weapon panel. As long as you know the size of the target in meters from the aspect you're attacking from, you can then set the target base with the top left knob on the sight and fire when it fills the space between horizontal bars on the piper. This might be preferred in uneven terrain.

Employ; to make use of.

And why is that? Can’t keep us guessing sir…

@@2t_mxrider it seem the hind is very easy to crash. Not very maneuverable

Also having to close the optics or they will break. Not what we thought it was if accurate, and DCS seems to be very close usually.

Hind easy to crash? Optics will break? Not sure these two reasons were key undermining factors in real world Hind performance, affecting the outcome of the Cold War. This DCS module was released about a week ago. Fly it for at least a couple of years with a commitment not to crash it and a mindset that it’s your only weapon to protect your virtual "motherland", and I’m sure you will appreciate all the hard work that was put in this DCS module...

@@2t_mxrider no, it’s a great product. Don’t get me wrong. DCS always makes great products. It’s the actual real aircraft that has flaws. It’s been modeled great, I just didn’t know it had the limitations on the real MI-24
