Tactical Positioning || M1A2 Abrams & AH-64D Apache Longbow (War Thunder) 

yeah, that really was a simple yet brilliant play

Just saying using hellfires knowing that is a must, especially how bad they are now

Thanks a lot my friend, you're just too kind to say that.

Much love my friend 🙂

I'm glad I could help, good luck my friend.

I think so

Dude has multiple videos of that helicopter. He has over a hundred video of just helicopter. At least 20% are of that helicopter or some variant of it.

Soon, very long battle .. it should have been ended with draw!

@@Hunter_i86 Hey Hunter, i just recently played Ah-64D but i have a problem, the locked is auto snapback to the old target, is it a BUG????...

Enjoy my friend, live and learn .. we all do that in WT, everyday a new info :)

No problem! :)

Glad it was helpful! You can do it pilot :)

ayo? the D???!

I hope it will get laser guided bombs, because USA doesn't have a plane with laser guided bombs yet.

Unfortunately no.

Thank you 👍

Thanks for the info my friend, I appreciate it .. I did something similar with the last kill 13:35

​@@Hunter_i86 Yes I saw that and I know why that hellfire didn't got messed up by the trees in front of you, you were actually just in range to pop up and lase the target exactly moment before hellfire came down from top-down trajectory, if you were 8km away, there is now way that hellfire would've hit the target. I also noticed that your laser designator is turning on automatically when you launch the missile, so you are actually firing hellfires in LOBL mode by default. There is an in-game option called "enable laser designator before launching the missile" in "options" menu that is enabled by default so you can try to disable that option and keybind "toggle laser designator" in helicopter controls to control it manually and that way you can use both LOBL and LOAL methods by toggling the laser. That could be a good tutorial video to make so that more players are aware of this feature, especially because we have YAH-64 that anyone without much helicopter experience can get. Here is my 41 seconds long example of using hellfires in LOAL mode against SAM at almost max range and defeating it without any danger just to visualize it easily: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CAaR8gOf5cI.html And as always thank you for all entertainment you are providing

They are not fire and forget missiles, they are laser guided.

Ya but how do u keep it locked on with mine I’m having to legit keep mouse pointed on it

@@tbro6149 oh ok, sight stab button in heli controls.

SAM players are already learning and evolving my friend, I feel CAS runs are becoming harder.

Hello there, sure could be a bug .. such things happen all the time with laser guided weapons, even with jets like Jaguars.

I don't think K or B matter, they were just hovering and not maneuvering targets.

All behave the same, just slight differences in penetration values.

Can't wait! haha, first A-10 came out and Tomcat is very soon after! I wouldn't except that from Gaijin at all! :)

Apache between the two, but AH-1F is my favorite American chopper :)

I really like both but one is better at air and one is better at ground

Can't wait! haha, first A-10 came out and Tomcat is very soon after! I wouldn't except that from Gaijin at all! :)

Because it would be beyond OP. "The AGM-114L, or Longbow Hellfire, is a fire-and-forget weapon: equipped with a millimeter-wave (MMW) radar seeker, it requires no further guidance after launch-even being able to lock on to its target after launch-and can hit its target without the launcher or other friendly unit being in line of sight of the target. It also works in adverse weather and battlefield obscurants, such as smoke and fog, which can mask the position of a target or prevent a designating laser from forming a detectable reflection." PARS can be easily shut down by a bit of foliage or smoke. AGM-114L couldn't.

since when was balance a thing. Might as well add it

Switch radar mode button

I Feel The Need.

As I remember 100mm of pen difference.

@@Hunter_i86because in this video they seem to be tracking a lot better

It doesn't always work or be a useful tool because it can lock on friendly and destroyed vehicles as well, but anyway there is a button for that, "Lock Radar Target On".

User Abrams sight live.warthunder.com/post/944445/en/

Adding a new Abrams with 2nd gen thermal would be better :)

@@Hunter_i86 and they have. And it's an aussiebroomz as a squadron vehicle. Prepare for the shift in balance from lvl10 leo2pl players to lvl 10 AIM players

Radar has three modes now, air to air, air to ground and MTI .. so it depends on what type of target you want to find, however it is not very efficient to depend only on radar.

@@Hunter_i86 I see But how can I turn it on, cuz for me now it’s shows only if I’m being targeted? I tried redo keybindings, but it seems not to show up on any key😅

Same my friend, if those choppers did slight maneuvers the missile would miss.

mouse wheel: zoom axis

Because overkill, seriously though sometimes the first will not kill then you wait 10 more seconds for the second missle. He might also launch two depending on ground clutter ect, plus 16 hellfires is alot so why not?

Hellfire is not trustable in this game haha, and I have 16 which are plenty .. as you saw the battle ended and I still have 4 more.

Mouse Wheel

@@Hunter_i86 i cant find the settings for it 😅

how the settings for it calld?

Mouse Wheel: Zoom Axis

@@Hunter_i86 thanks is it the same on console? I’m on controller

They can also kill bombers

Can't wait my friend :D

@@Hunter_i86 stream with the developers soon. listen if it wasn't for your channel i wouldn't play warthunder i wanted to learn how to fly but didn't understand you taught me.. and now i know what to do with airplanes. and before, I just silently envied the pilots. and now the legend of the f-14 aircraft that I saw in the film is a top shooter. and thanks to your lessons I know what to do with it!) I wish you 1,000,000 subscribers!

Tier one planes are scary, they are silent haha.

@@Hunter_i86 best believe the it will be a slow, paralyzing, but certain death with my p26 pea shooters 👁👁👌

It might be at the same level with MiG-27 in Ground RB .. I hope the Tomcat will get laser guided weapons.

Alright, I killed 3 choppers were already out in the sky and engaging my teammates, and two ground vehicles .. one is a BMP-3 in a sniping position and the second is SPAA .. I keep my eyes on enemy spawns because it is the main nest of SPAAs, you might not know that the result of battle between air defense and pilot highly determined by "who spots who first", so if I have the opportunity to kill SPAAs not only in their spawns but even in their hangars I would not hesitate. Also, I don't know how an aircraft can camp, you need a tent, stick and small area of ground to make camp my friend :)

In game

@@Hunter_i86 thanks mr. Hunter
