Helicopter Pilot Guide for Rising Storm 2 Vietnam! 

Update: After update 1.2 DShk hmgs are now moveable

Evaccing after getting shot down is super fun, I got my Loach shot down by an RPG and it luckily hit the main rotor, I managed to steer her into some smooth terrain and hopped out. Thing is, I was directly behind the enemy spawn on Quang tri so I had no way out beside either dying or an evacuation. So I asked a Huey pilot, cleared out a street with an AK I stole from a dead body and got picked up.

I fly great, like a penguin on acid after a severe concussion.

Just watched this, spent 30-40 minutes in training, you helped me learn how to fly. And indeed when you start your flights in the populated servers you got some salty people that yell at you that you can't fly but keep in mind: - They can't fly at all, you are at least trying and managing it for the most part. - Other salty pilots can't do shit apart from yelling at you, ignore them, this game needs more pilots. - KEEP THE PING IN MIND the training level runs smoother than an online server, practice slow responding landings.

this is freaking underrated.

that landing without a tail was amazing, just, wow

Huge respect for Huey pilots. One time in Resort, we ran out of reinforcements and I decided to go back to the beach and request for an extraction. All my squadmates are dead and I was hiding behind a rock being targeted by VC machine guns and snipers. I used my purple smoke to let the in-bound Huey see where I was. He landed on the beach and picked me up while the VC fired on the chopper. We got out of there as soon as I got in. Whoever that pilot was, God bless you man. You saved my ass hahahahahaha.

Rule nr. 1: *PLAY FORTUNATE SON EVERY. SINGLE. SECOND.*

44:26 Damn that execution was brutal

@21:17 No, you don't always want to put the collective all the way up. The main problem why you and your heli is at the mercy of the terrain @20:19 is because you did. Seeing the RPM below green, you should've reduced collective enough to allow the rotors to spin faster THEN you increase collective. Another @50:12 always put to mind that if your engine is fubar'd, reduce the collective immediately. That way, if you are falling, the rotors will spin faster, providing kinetic energy to the rotors enough for you to land softly like a feather. Cause steel is heavier than fea- nvm. Anyways, this is a real life technique called auto-rotation. Remember to put it in green, if it's not, the rotors aren't going to be effective. Green = keep flying keep flying = rice not safe from you :) Oh and I'm super impressed that you brought that tailless bird back home! just... wow

Hex, you're a star! I'm glad you're on our servers. Uber..

Hey nice video! Starting at 8:50 that random guy Whiteworm was me! Cool to see that clip again, and good flying man!

Can't believe how good this guide is, not only is perfect, but i didn't even felt the 55 min, getting to the helicopter range right away!

Excellent tutorial all around. You take a realistic, sympathetic, and humble approach to tutorials. You don't waste our time with bragging about your skills or preaching lazily generalized instructions. I can also say that these guidelines apply to other games very well too.

This guy landed a tailless helicopter! He's got to be the best pilot I've ever seen!

I've never heard of the UH1 Gunship referred to as a Bush Ranger. I've heard it always referred to as The Hog . That's what my dad, a Vietnam US Army combat vet, called them. He called the transports Slicks. Thanks for the information since it appears to be the name the Australians gave it.

Played with you, you really are a good pilot

This video taught me the basics of flying when I first started playing this game. Almost 1000 hours of gameplay later, I consistently put up 100+ kills as a cobra and 40+ as loach. It's insane that when I first watched this video I couldn't land a helicopter in a flat field without dying.

That pickup at the end looked cinematic as hell. Almost like a cut scene.

yesterday i was on Resort and i lost my tail rotor, it was intense as it was my first time losing it, but then i remembered this video and i returned to base safely! thanks!

Reinstalling the game rn because of your outstanding crazy air superiority. Nuts! Bravo, pilot. Just landing without a tail puts a medal on you!

What an amazing save when you lost that tail! Jaw dropping when you actually made it! Great job! Keep that pilot spirit up for the grunts on the ground! We need ya down here And also great vid ;)

Best RS2 pilot tutorial I've ever seen. Excellent work Hex.

Thanks for the great info. Had this game about 2 months. This is one of the best guides I've seen. Thanks again.

I've been playing the game since release, I still learnt quite a bit from this video! Thanks for making it!

Wonderful guide. Really motivated me to want to practice and learn. I always stayed away from flying from fear of being yelled at by the team and possibly kicked from not being too good at it.

I'm not even going to try and fly in the game but man I enjoyed your entire video. Thank you for putting so much time into creating this video.

Appreciate all the great directing and editing work you put into this, makes for a pretty entertaining watch!

4 consecutive, somewhat successful landings, with Huey on resort....lots of happy GI's that day 😁 Thank you Hex, awesome video!

I just want to say, thanks so much for this video. Most videos aren't any where near as in depth as this one. Good man.

dude i love your marskman video and this one. super great video and that landing you pulled off at the end with no tail was EPIC! thanks for the videos man! I hope you make more, really well done and good commentary!

Thanks for this man, I watched this about probably a year ago and now I'm a pro pilot. Great guide!

Super helpful, entertaining, and well-edited. Your skill is inspirational! Thanks 👍🏻👍🏻

You've done a great job Hex. I've been an Arma II & III pilot for a little while now and you've presented something easy for all. Nice job dealing with that trouble passenger. Thanks again

Great video! Love the song from Hamburger Hill when the cobra pilot died. Nice save, didn't know you could do that. I play a lot but never learned how to fly, so thanks again for the very well put together and helpful video.

one thing i've figured out is that the gunner in a cobra or bushranger can fly co pilot without a pilot if you switch seats while taking off, its very helpful for solo pilots

Great video man, purely informational and entertaining the whole way through.

Thank you, thank you, thank you my friend. This is a wonderful training video. You cover so much. I’m really motivated to play pilot now, I tried before but my team hated me and I was so embarrassed. Everyone wanting to learn should watch this little hour seminar. Also near the end I can not believe you actually landed that, your monitor must’ve been pulling some crazy G’s. Haha!

3 years and this guide helped me thanks dude I'm now a good pilot

Great job on this. Good mix of hilarity, facts and showing your talents.

Great tutorial video with excellent narration. Thanks for showing me the best settings for flying.

I learned how to enter gunner sight mode myself, but this video mentioning scrolling the wheel backwards to take over piloting duties saved my ass yesterday when the cobra pilot either died or left the server mid bombing run. RTB'd, took over pilot seat and proceeded to kill half the VC team in the same life. Also lost my tail rotor on the huey on resort and made it back to base. Feels good man. good work with a helpful guide.

Great tutorial, i just got the game and have been practicing instead of hopping in the online mode and this tutorial was clean and effective, now i just need to remember all of this and put to use.

This video is great! I like the way you explain everything. For a new comer, like me it's realy helpfull. I also don't like toxic players, and the part with the toxic guy on the huey was brilliant. You have been calm and polite. Hope to see more videos. Cheers :)

Great video man! I’m a decent pilot, but I learned a lot from this video, you should do more RS2 videos! Thanks for the great tips

Nice video mr Hex!

wonderfull video Hex and that landing with the lost tail was badass :D

Thanks fer all the time n effort ya've put in till this quality contect.

Nice vid, Hex! (Druid)

Ah the bushranger. Huey charlie model. When my dad was in Vietnam, they called these thunder chickens.

Best guide I could ask for! Thank you for the work you put in it! Cheers

That door gunner you randomly met was pretty chill.. I can see why you don't mind the company. Makes the game feel more lively!

I dont even own this game, but I watched your machine gunner tutorial, which was great. After this one I just bought rising storm 2. Can't wait to play!

This video was really helpful man! I just got into the game and when you have a good pilot you know it! Hopefully I can get some flying skills and help out my team like this but until then I hope I see you piloting my Huey.

dude u rly covered everything great guide!

bro you helped me so much with your videos thank you!!

Holy shit 51:30 Are you like top 1% of pilots? That is insane. How can anyone top that.

i love your rising storm vids!

great video, thumbs up ! i've learned a lot. especially the lock on target move. Thanks !

WHY this has so low views ? this is totally underrated video :/ you need to have more subs and views :) !

Your videos inspired and helped me to become a good pilot, thanks a lot sir

Very good tutorial ! thanks Hex

I love this vid I watch it every now and again just cause I like it and ever since I found out about this game I looked at all these tutorials and they helped me a while back and it’s kinda fun when you get shot down and you have a bunch of vc searching the area for you and your passengers

Ty for the video dude! Im kinda new and this is a very good help

Dude thank you so much I use to be super bad and couldn't fly at all but now I'm basically a expert at you helped me so much thx :]

Very well put together video my dude.

Amazing video mate! Informative, fun and well made. (Spaky)

Nice guide, I'd like to point out at 48:14 flying into higher terrain isn't fooling the game into thinking you're lower to the ground. AGL is altitude Above Ground Level, for helos, AGL is always more relevant than absolute altitude.

Nice work dude, amazing content, keep it up

I love the song you used to introduce the cobra aka the Apache’s papa, also I believe that during the Vietnam war helicopter pilots would hover a few feet off the ground so they didn’t actually have to land

Great video dude. Very helpful

This was really nice, helpful and entertaining. Thanks a lot

What a fantastic job! Immediate subscribe.

Epic video, really enjoyed that. I am more of a Sapper / Point Man kinda guy, haven't had the courage to try pilot yet, especially on a server. But after watching this video, I'll definately head back to the Pilot training camp very soon. Also, that RTB with the missing tail was just wow.

Perfect, exactly what i was looking for

Thanks! I think I can get the hang of flying now.

Really good videos man, keep it up !

Great video Hex

Nice video. Just picked up this game, and this video helped a bunch. I like the cut of your jib.

world is so small. turns out i've learned from your guide, it was an honor to be your radioman and marker droper

I never played this game but I can see the sheer skill involved. GG on that tailless landing

This feels good. I am not the best pilot but I have gotten much better through playing in combat. It sucks when people yell at you that you suck. Even when the situation is tough. Thanks for the tips. Hopefully I can become a better pilot and benefit my team more.

wow that tailless helicopter save at the end was insane

amazing video, amazing pilot!

Good video bro, helped me out alot!

U`r a legend mate.

That no tail landing was pretty good. Cheers from a fellow pilot. Z

This was great, thank you so much

Nice vid! Thanks for the tips!

awesome video. engaging and interesting, even as a seasoned pilot, i was able to learn some new tricks!

Awesome vid, man. I just got this game and played infantry once. I couldn't even see the enemy. lol. The Huey is my fave too, and I'd love to be a transport pilot.

Best and most informative video how to pilot the heli in rising storm 2. I can now be an asset and transport a squad without crashing or dying!

this guy is so genuine

You actually made it back to base. Oooh my I stopped counting after like 20 spins ;) nice one

Thanks for the guide! Going to buy the game and use this info when flying

Probably the best helicopter video in history on RU-vid! You truly put a lot of effort and thoughts in this video, Hex! I would actually give this video millions of thumbs up if I could or if I had had millions of RU-vid accounts since it truly deserves all the praise! Would love to meet you in game, and perhaps I could be your co-pilot :) One question I have for you though Hex is: Are there any ways to see through the floor of the helicopter when you are pilot? I'm just truly curious.

Hey man, fantastic video. Very entertaining and informative. Hope to see you in my squad sometime.

You deserve way more subscribers

for me a very good explanation and good videowork. the rest is on me to work out. thx pilot hex

ngl this was super super helpful thanks man
