- Barundus and I finally take to the skies with a pair of Kiowa's and demonstrate the basics of SWT tactics in a low-intensity COIN environment.
Special Thanks to Polychop simulation for letting us use the module for demonstration purposes.

Just re-visited this one. We were kinda new to this back then, lol. Let's do another!
Looking forward to another!
Thanks dudes! That was cool and informative. Reminded me of a story I heard from an Apache pilot. They’d see guys possibly setting up IED’s in a drainage ditch or somewhere on the road, they’d fly by, the guys on the ground would wave, pilots wave back, helo heads off, the IED work continues, the pilots watch from a distance and light em up! Rad to see how the pros do it 🇺🇸
(Next time please turn on a name beacon or dot, hard to see ya on my phone)
Thx!!!
I didn't know that reconnaissance is so dangerous and exciting. The helicopter is really an elegant hunter.
most folks confuse recon with surveillance
This was an amazing video. When I look for DCS videos I try and find content like this because let's face it, "how to start your airplane" has been done a million times. This kind of insight helps make more realistic missions.
As I was watching this I kept thinking how I could script the events into the ME. While I don't think we could do the wind blown tarp, it is certainly possible to script in people on foot acting squirrely when a helicopter is nearby (and then going back to their nefarious business when you leave).
Thanks for sharing and I look forward to more stuff like this.
Those rocket shots were freaky. Vertical descent rate really made them look like they were curving towards the ground.
FM issues with vertical speed is being addressed. Made lining up on the target hard as hell!
Yeah they look funky but circle of action still works pretty good, just can’t wait too long to confirm.
You 2 are amazing. Barundus shows actually what really happens on scouting! Thank you both for showing WHAT REALLY HAPPENS IN COMBAT!
We’re going to need more content like this after release
Thanks for this view into the cockpit and the thought processes of KW operations. To me, this is what makes the difference between a simulator and a game. They can both be fun, but this to me is 'serious fun'. If you keep makin em, I'll keep watchin em! Gotta keep my fix going until this module is released.
Deal!
Nicely done. Appreciate the role play dialog Barundus put in to let us know all the things you folks would be looking for/doing. Great info, much appreciated, and more when you have time, please!
Im almost sixteen, live in Croatia and just love KW. My dream is to fly it soon because i love aviation, thank you casmo for all videos you are makeing and giving me motivation to keep pushing to get there one day
Keep pushing and keep studying!
I will, be sure
Great to see how you guys conduct your missions. Thank you both for your service from a retired Air Force vet!
Thank you as well!
Never flown choppers before but this module and this vid have defo got my juices flowing to purchase and have a go.
Great vid really enjoyed it.
Brilliant show and good insight into tactics. Thanks, and please do more of this.😍
Thanks guys'. I have never really role played anything, but watching you guys, I think I am going to try a little with my friends. I see it adding a whole other side to game, play.
Great video, thanks for showing us a bit of real tactics for this chopper. You guys said a couple of times how the left seater will pick up his rifle for check the ground, hope we would see this feature in the module release. Thanks!
More of this content. These SWT / Recon walkthroughs are satisfying all my wants and needs
Great insight into what the mission is. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻🙃🙃
goddamn major, When I fly helo's in DCS I always jink a little and by a little I mean a little more than a little, assuming I always have to fly realy realy steady, and now I saw you do the same. It made me feel like a better (computer)pilot. Thank you.
That was great. Cant wait for You to lay hands on final product and then Apache and show us some real life procedures and Your opinions, feelings...maybe nostalgia :-) Great stuff. Thanks.
This two years old, but I really liked this video. It would be great to see you doing more realistic mission types in the future. I'm hoping to see more informational videos like this, discussing how certain things would actually be done, formations flown, weapons employment, and overall strategic use of the aircraft, etc. I'd certainly like to see more of these.
Had to come back and revisit this. Hoping to see this released one day.
Eventually
DANG! YOU GUYS ARE INCREDIBLE! I FELT LIKE I WAS ACTUALLY WATCHING A REAL LIVE PATROL!!!
I want that chopper so hard.. Sven, shut up and take my money :D
Great video!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks guys!
Cant wait for the Kiowa
To bad it doesn't seem that this thing will ever be finished.
I really hope we get some kind of "COIN asset pack" for all the upcoming helos... IVe mentioned this before but It would be cool to say; mark targets for CAS planes in the area, or direct infantry and armor on the ground, etc. Through the in-game radio menu along with your sensors.
Thanks for a really nice video! fascinating how low an unarmored chopper flies for recce, dangerous but fun i guess, Will you continue this ”series” with a Team 102 video?
Unarmored indeed. Both of us have been physically shot doing what we demonstrated haha so yesh, some armor would be nice. I’m sure we will do some other videos once the FM gets refined and we are able to do some more advanced stuff. Thanks for watching!
One day... One day
I'm going to have to go and do this with a buddy. Might try with Gazelles or Hueys to make do, just have a go at RPing it up.
The L model Gazelle is a great choice for that, it's almost made for the job.
Damn this is good
ill be damned if the beginning doesnt remind me of fort bliss in the mornings, tho the franklin mountains would be a bit closer. Thanx for the vid! does the conopy crazing seem a bit excessive, or is that just from zooming in?
I never got to fly at bliss but I visited. Looked remarkably like Afghanistan.
I agree the scratches on the canopy are a bit much when zoomed in. But some birds be like that 🤷🏻♂️. I think over time it’ll get polished up tho. Thanks for watching!
underrated outro 😂
Great stuff guys! What flying hardware are you guys flying with? Really looking forward to flying the kw and the mission. Keep up the great work.
I use trackIR5, thrustmaster T16000m and VK pedals. Thanks for watching!
CasmoTV I really need track ir, really would like to go to the puma pro flight trainer for my heli flying but I’m making the x56 hotas work. Just need pedals to really get to have fun in choppers.
HCRCMFlying trackIR is a must have. I’d favor that as your next purchase over anything else. You can get away with a budget HOTAS but the ability to look around is key.
CasmoTV I’ve been managing with the Huey and hornet modules for nearly a year and totally agree on needing track ir. Thanks. Look forward to the next vids on kw.
Awesome stuff. Keep going.
But one question.
I follow the KW process since the first days and always all talk about the M4 isn't so important and now I see, Barundus have used it 2 times in 20 mins. I'm confused.
Not a lot of utility in the DCS environment. Understand that we have a different perspective and experience. If you were to ask how important the M4 is to a KW guy prior to 2003, for example, you might get a very different answer. Additionally there are some technology restrictions that keep the M4 from being a viable player experience in DCS, from what I gather. Thanks for watching!
@@CasmoTV thanks for the explanation. I know about the the technic restriction.
My question was not pointed for the implantation to DCS more for the tactical aspect.
Was Barundas just making up the things about seeing the shovel and wires and what not, or is that stuff actually available to be used as assets in the game? You guys are demonstrating COIN so i'm just wondering if he's RPing for the sake of the demonstration.
Great video!
Totally role-playing, lol.
Barundus is big into roleplay. I had to cut out all the parts where he kept whispering about daddy while shooting his .50 cal.
@@CasmoTV it's all I have nowadays...
@@CasmoTV damnit - you made me spit my coffee all over my computer with that comment!
3 years no Kiowa but 2 more weeks
Not my monkeys. Not my circus. Take it up with PC.
Haha I know gotta give it to them that they are releasing the module "mission ready" but so did the JF17 and that was announced appropriately to its release date any ways I do enjoy your videos 🫡
Yeah well one is based on an actual aircraft and one is based on what they think it might do according to Wikipedia so 🤷🏻♂️
When is the OH-58 getting released? I haven’t heard much.
2021 is only date they have given as of now
How does the flight model feel? Is it like the Gazelle?
Never flown the Gaz so I can’t tell you. Right now it’s still a WIP so the flight model doesn’t really feel like anything.
Some pretty savvy stuff, in our rocket strikes we would start about 1500ft, and roll out at 500’. Oh, and try not to overfly the target 😉.
If you don’t come back with mud on their aircraft you’re doing it wrong lol. Flying in dcs makes good evasive techniques a receipt for crashing.
4:29 able to pull off the m-4 from the dash? :O
At this point I really just am interested in the FM first and everything else comes after, you said it doesn't really feel like anything, it worries me a bit for some reason.
Nevertheless how complete are this helo's systems in your opinion ?
Edit: not that it matters right now since the module isn't even released
It’s hard to say what’s complete only cause I haven’t delved too deep into the systems. Don’t lose sleep over the flight model. There are a dozen KW pilots providing feedback on what feels right and wrong. Barundus alone has 5,000 hours of flight time... he’s not gonna let it look like crap.
@@CasmoTV thanks a lot for the answer, concerning the FM I'm basing my fears, whether it is justified or not, on the gazelle. To me, this helo feels very weird to fly but there is also such a debate on if it is accurate or not, some pilots say it is some not, polychop says it is yet they are going to release a new FM, I've seen some compelling arguments hinting that the FM has issues. In the end I don't even know how to feel about flying this module since I'm straight up having a hard time with it and I don't even know if it's realistic.
Sorry for the long story, I naturally just hope the Kiowa's FM will be better.
No drama. I know a few gazelle guys and they say it’s actually pretty accurate but admit there are a few issues such as the upside whatever that occurred. Idk, never flown it. I think sometimes simulators can get all the things right but there are loop holes that can be exploited if you “fly the aircraft wrong”.
@@CasmoTV yes I agree, sorry for making the Kiowa part of the gazelle drama when it isn't even released yet but I still don't feel that great about polychop as of right now for some other reasons, would still absolutely love to see how the Kiowa turns out.
Nevertheless thanks for the video and would love to see them coming, cheers mate 👍
What are the specific formations you'd do in these types of situations?
Free cruise.
So what ever happened to the Kiowa? I thought release was around the corner
🤷🏻♂️
How did you get this module?
I didn’t
All those scratches on the windshield are why you shouldn’t put things (like smoke grenades) on the dash.
While I agree the scratches modeled are excessive it has round abouts zero to do with items on the dash. The windshield is quite a ways away from any of those items. Not related at all.
In IRL civilian aircraft, putting random things on the dash can screw with the whiskey compass and lead to nav errors. Not sure if that's also a concern for military aircraft, but I would imagine you wouldn't put things up there anyway unless properly secured for FOD reasons.
As for the scratches, the windows are perspex which can scratch quite easily. Say you're in a desert, the aircraft is covered in sand and you blast it with a hose, or worse try to wipe it off with a dry cloth. BAD day
no MP helo? need two guys in the cockpit
This is a known DCS issue. Not a PC limitation.
Just say when?
Rotor disc looks too sharp. I hope they fix that. Just a petty, pet hate. Module is looking great.
She got some work to do but there is a lot of love put into it. I think it’s gonna be great once it gets going. Thanks for watching!
What hardware do you use to fly?
Gunfighter 3 and Mkiv VKB pedals. Thrustmaster T16000 throttle
@@CasmoTV Thanks
Why is the quality so low?
Could you be more specific?
@@CasmoTV
It looks as if it were 720p yet it says HD, Maybe it's just me but it looks off.
Like textures are quite hard to notice detail in.
Who knows maybe I need glasses
This was on my old system.
@@CasmoTV
Just curious, what were the specs on that?
I don’t recall
In what way are the NVG's in the KA-50 "Shitty"? Because they are in gray-scale and not green tinted?
Because that's is the only difference.
I can by no means see how they are shitty, to be honest. Maybe because you don't know how to use them? To turn up/down gain and all that jazz?
From what I've heard, most modern NVG's tend to be made more in gray-scale than green tint anyways.
I've always found the green irritating to my eyes.
...ok...
Looks like we found out who the one downvote was from...
An outstanding, lengthy, real life mission with communication and weapons employment and this guy picks out one thing you said...smh.
Keep up the great content fellas!
@@FuriouslyFurious no buddy! I liked the video and did not down vote! 😅 I feel like I need to clarify. I mean there is no difference in DCS. Night Vision is not modeled properly in the Sim. Just as FLIR is not. Its just a filter. Every module has the same. Some are greyscale , some are green.
I just prefer greyscale. But neither is really any different. In the KA-50 you can fiddle with brighness and contrast knobs and I can't see why it's "shitty".
Loved the video and just wanted a civilized discussion 😅
