On this channel we like to do a lot of dogfighting most videos are some sort of dogfight between 2 different aircraft as we explore their different capabilities. From time to time I like to dabble in Virtual Reality, I think VR is a great new technology and I love to show that stuff off for the channel from time to time.
If you enjoy war thunder or Microsoft flight simulator 2020 or even dogfighting in Battlefield 2042, consider getting yourself into Digital Combat Simulator by Eagle Dynamics, the Combat side of Aviation with the BVR and Dogfights really provides a different and interesting perspective on aviation. You can fly all kinds of combat aircraft including the F-16, F-15, F-14, JF-17, Su-27, Mig-29, Mirage and the F-18 Hornet along with many other aircraft and helicopters like the Ka-50 and Mi-8. - Hry

They have made a flight simulator for the Ornithopters of Dune, they're like super advanced Apache's
Don't know if DCS do things like that thought it might interest you,
Their flight capabilities are Awesome 🤩
From Scotland 🏴😁👍👍
You should look under the CP/G controls and find the "Sunvisor" (now that I double checked I don't see it for the CP/G, only the pilot for some reason). It does wonders to keep the glare off of the screens while you're looking at targets.
GS and Casmo showing the real synergy that a pilot and gunner on an attack helicopter have to have when in combat. Well done to the both of you!
It would be nice if you interviewed Casmo about his two tours and his experience as a combat pilot.
It's classified. GS could've, and Casmo then would've had to kill GS, and what a tragedy that'd be to us all.
I’d like to know what he thought about the cannon on the Apache. Did he have jamming issues with it? Was it accurate enough or hard to keep on target?
@@Ghoster311 its an area weapon,not a point weapon, dont take it as a sniper, its a grenade launcher which kills everything in the area
"Well getting shot wasn't a highlight."
It's not all classified, Casmo has been on the Fighter Pilot Podcast. Also this is a gaming channel not a podcast??
The dogfight videos are awesome of course, but these Casmo team up videos are really something else
Casmo's instinct gives a sense of constant battlefield awareness, positional aspects/angles - keys to survival. If the mission is accomplished, live to fight another day.
Unless GS is your WSO! 😂
I got a tour of AH-64 from a british pilot once. Explained to me that Apache can shoot missiles from behind the hills and hit targets it can't even see.
Yep. The Longbow pod on the top of the rotor lets them peek over terrain.
A forward Apache can also designate targets for Apaches to the rear to prosecute. So not every Apache needs the longbow radar.
Longbow & Datalink, basically if any optics with datalink connected to it has eyes on targets, targets are dead.
I am one of the approach controllers that works the AH64's out of Hanchey AAF. They're all over the place down here in southeast Alabama. They don't get a lot of IFR training, but when we work them, it always a good time. CASMO, hello from OZR Approach.
I want to see you guys absolutely destroy folks in PVP😂😂😂
I vote for that, It'll be cool TBH 👍

How? This is an anti vehicle helo not an anti air helo. It doesn't have any offensive A2A capabilities.
@@deekamikaze and even if it did, it would have a really hatd time with a mach 3+ aim-120 coming from an f-16 at 40000 ft
@@deekamikaze Well... there is this one module that hardly anyone touches called "combined arms".
There is some nostalgia. Love seeing the 1st Cav patch on the nose. I served as the ADA Officer (Warrior 3Y) of the 1st Cav Aviation Brigade in OIFII in Baghdad, at the time we were the 4th BCT of the 1st Cavalry Division, later re-designated as the Air Cavalry Brigade. Have many good pilot friends of AH-64's, OH-58's and UH-60's. Our commander COL James McConville flew quite often, he liked missions that took him near Sauder City (nicknamed the Sauder City Multi-Use Range, because you always got to shoot something), great boss, probably why he's now the Army Chief of Staff. "Warriors!"
One of the most transformers moments in aviation is those pylons moving under Apache wings 😅 almost like a preying mantis twitching it's arms before making the attack...
I notice it takes some time to put the crosshairs on target as the Apache is moving. Is there not some type of stabilizer the gunner can use to more quickly laze targets?
That’s the LMC, linear motion compensator I just suck with it.
I think I have seen it before, it will be a X around the crosshairs like when GS point track the enemy. But it tracks where ever you looking at and easier to line up targets.
@@GrowlingSidewinder Given by the movements on the controls, looks like you had to wrestle it a bit at times
@@bright2624 the X is actually saying the laser is lasing. The LMC is indicated by 4 lines around the tips of the cross hairs
The LMC is a b1tch to use. That's why GS was using to stabilize a bit before using the point track. These Limas are and absolute blessing since you don't need to keep lasing the target all the way to impact.

I know some people whining on Reddit about being shot down by ground units in the Apache that need to watch these 2 videos with a real Apache pilot(and your recent A-10 video) They need to see how you actually engage targets. They’re the type of players that want to be able to just fly in and hover over targets destroying them at their leisure. They want ED to change the game rather than themselves actually learn and adapt to figure out the right way to attack. Can’t really change their opinion, they want it to be more game than simulator.
I tried telling them that real pilots don’t fly through areas that aren’t secured, and that Warthog and Apache pilots have tactics to “reduce” the risk of taking fire. You can’t absolutely negate that risk unless you don’t attack at all. They just can’t seem to comprehend that you can’t just run in guns hot and not get shot down. There is a reason that nearly 100 A-10’s in the AF have received damage from ground fire, a few actually being lost and more being beyond repair. Those same people think that just because only 8 A-10 were actually shot down that it means they should be mostly immune to ground fire. They really cannot comprehend that even just one guy with a rifle poses a significant threat to both attack platforms. One guy with an AK can take down an Apache, or do enough damage to a Warthog to send it home.
I know it shouldn’t bother me, but there are just SOOO many people whining and trying to force ED to make changes rather than themselves, and instead of adapt to the situation and learn/practice they just want the game to change to suit them. It’s annoying as hell.
thats the world today brother, people expect things to change to suit the individual not the individual adapt to the situation/problem solve. it's the root problem with a lot of issues in society today in my humble opinion.
Finally.. ❤ my two DCS heroes together in the mighty Apache 😊 thank you guys
I love seeing the apache come home with empty racks. It makes me think how much that would cost, then I remember how almost every hellfire was one tank and how much that costed the enemy.
just a hint, as far as I know you don't need a clear line of sight for those hellfires. If you can give it kind of the correct direction and distance it is enough, the missile will in any way search for it target for itself.
So if you see just a small part of a tank, you can lase it and then fire, the missile will search in this area and find the tank and hit it exatly where it should. Or if you don't see the target at all, you can lase somethingh nearby, for example a tree next to it. The missile gets the direction and distance and will search with its own radar for the target there and find it even you don't see it at all.
At least this is how it should be as far as I know :)
I’m loving these Apache videos. I humbly request for more of them. The fact you’re flying with a real Apache pilot too is just *chef’s kiss*
The way that ZSU just snapped to you sent a chill down my spine.
That battlefield soundtrack still gives me goosebumps, so many years later.... Love the video and the content GS!
Hey man, just wanted to say thanks to your videos I recently picked up an x56 Hotas and the fa18c! I just finished landing the plane three times in a row, taking the learning tutorials really slow to try to absorb it all… thank you for these videos!
Really cool mission. I think it would be really cool to see you guys do a mission where you are working together with some A-10s to clear out an area of enemies. You would be picking off some targets with your hellfires, while also spotting and pointing out other targets that are better suited for the A-10's weapons. Like you might find a big cluster of enemy vehicles and tell the A-10s to drop a CBU-97 right on that area. Or laser a target and have an A-10 drop a GBU with the laser code you are using. Maybe also have them do a gun run on some tents and supply trucks if you come across a set of tents like you did in this mission.
Shared lasing / bomb truck air units are the future. Apache or the new radar block F16 targetting while A10s, old MiGs etc hurl bombs over the treelines
Last video he done with casmo had A10s....
Sorry get what you mean now. More interaction between the A10 and Apache
I would love Casmo to explain the differences between piloting a real life 64 compared to a DCS Apache to know what the differences are. Would also be interesting comparisons when thinking of things like the SU-57, 22 raptor ETC
@@RW-zn8vy I have not, just saw this video and found out he was a real pilot today
Nice shooting and flying! That landing at the end was butter smooth!
That was great, and intense at times, really enjoyed that!
When that Battlefield Theme kicks in!!!
So awesome to see you both in the Apache!
I love these videos! What an incredible source of information and invaluable experience Casmo is. If you aren’t subbed to his channel I cannot recommend it highly enough :D As a wannabe chopper pilot there’s nothing better on CZcams!
The suns glare off the instrument panel is so cool, this is an amazing video
Love the 1st Cav insignia
You guys are a great team, hope we get to see more collaborations..
1:00 That song in the intro has become synonymous with "GS". Anytime I hear it anywhere else on YT, I think of your videos! You are the #1 DCS youtuber imo!! :D You rock man - you deserve 1M+ subs! :D
Loving the Apache content thank you. 👍
I like how the Apache was so many Hellfires you don't even need to prioritise targets and can fire as many as you need
Got me a trial of the AH-64...Oof...hard to fly out of the box. (that's what is making it fun). Nice seeing the potential of a two person crew! Watching lot of Casmo's video's to bring my up to speed.
This is some really interesting content here 💯💯💯. Thank you for your service Casmo 💯💯💯🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 you and G.S are just awesome!!!!!
We need some Firebirds scenarios! Taken on a Draken or fight off Stoller in his Murder machine MD-500
That was amazing you guys!!! Holy shit, had a smile on my face the whole time!!!👍🤘🔥🔥🔥
Great team work guys!
That thing is such a BEAST!!! I'm loving my A-10 as well!!
Like the Apache videos! Sweet you met a real Apache pilot too.
I love seeing these birds fly around, AH-64s and lancasters sometimes fly around where i live
Well done Video. Like the 3th person view to show the action.
Experience makes a difference ❤
Keep them coming, these are great!
Cosmo, ty for your service brother!!
That was very cool, flying with a real vet. I got flashbacks myself from the Battlefield theme at the end, I was semi-pro at Battlefield 1942 haha.
Another fantastic round of mopping up with Apache. With the radar guided hellfires, the Apache is now more competitive against the SHORADS. I wonder how the Longbow radar will change things when it arrives.
Great video, as always
You know if they send Casmo and GS shit is about to get real!
This duo is impeccable, incredible and wildy entertaining 👏 👌
Thanks for another awesome video!
Another Apache vid? You spoil us so GS
That was a hell a shot WOW
You guys make a great team! Hope there's more collaborative content ahead.
Amazing as always!!!!!!
I realy enjoy your A-10 and AH-64 videos. please brng more of them 😃
I can't get enough ground attack stuff! Next level with a human pilot too 😮🎉
Oh my! Another video with Casmo?! 🤩❤️
This is fun to watch!
3:52 "he dead"
I'd love to see some similar content with the HIND again! That analog soviet beast is awesome!
I could watch this all day 👍
The British Army Air Corps (AAC) actually bought a more capable version of the AH-64D, and only now is our Army catching up with the AH-64E.
The Marines updated their Cobra to be a HIGHLY effective gunship as well - yes, even rivaling and surpassing the Apache in multiple areas. Their use cases overlap in some areas and in others they are used differently. The AH-1 is much faster and more maneuverable, but the 64 has a better cannon and cannon targeting system. The AH-1 can shoot AIM-9s and carry a shit ton of weapons as well, including the hellfire.. I'd love to see it come to DCS as it is a VERY capable helo. Same with it's sister UH-1 upgrade (the UH-1 Venom). It's also super capable and is very good at what it does as well.
@@karlchilders5420 Lacks the radome of the Apache though, which makes it less survivable in peer conflicts (although rotary wing aviation in general isn’t exactly survivable in a peer environment).
@@jonathanpfeffer3716 You need to go learn about that helicopter. It's clear you (a) didn't read what I said and (b) don't know enough about the viper. I didn't fly those but I have flown IN one a few times - a guy I went to flight school with GOT helos and went to Pendleton to fly AH1W and later AH1Zs, he took me up. I took HIM in my D model Hornet and in the McDonnell Douglas (back then) sim.
Recon by Fire was the way we did it back in my day. me in a 58A and 2 cobras leap frogging each other with one always having guns on me. When i got shot at, they knew where to shot. Its just not fare now days for the other guy, he is just dead.
GS and Casmo are the best combination!!
Great video Gents, can I just ask how do you do that lock with the TADS where brackets is drawn around the target ? thanks in advance
Love the 1st Cav skin. Was their neighbor, 4th ID
Love this stuff!
I love missions like this ❤
Great video 👍
maybe i missed it on some of the other videos...but is there no head mounted display to control the cannon or the TADS? or just not in use on these videos?
its probably not the most stable but it looks the coolest.
what a beast of a aircraft
12:20 now i cant get that meme outta my head. thx.
GS: "Oh he dead."
CASMO: "Wut?"
GS: "I mean, Shack."
Hellfire Missiles are really cool.
Awesome video
If there is a KA-52 or Mi-28 mod, I’d like to see a “dogfight” between them and the Apache
I like how Casmo fly low. I need to get more comfortable doing the same...
Would love to fly this thing, but I sadly just don't have a PC strong enough to handle such a complex module
@@RW-zn8vy well… gotta try it in the 14 day trial and see if it’s running smoothly
@@RW-zn8vy I read in the forums, that the Apache takes very much VRAM, which I don’t have much of. My current PC is at the lower end. I run modules like the F-16 on mid-ish settings at around 50FPS in singleplayer.
Nice Battlefield soundtrack at the end
love the collab
Can't wait until you can pair those Longbow Hellfires with the Longbow Radar, then you will see some great technology.
was wondering when you would get around to the apache again
PLEASE recreate the US military’s tests of rotary vs fixed wing air to air combat.

so cool grate video guy's
First time I’ve seen a GS video viewcount in the single digits…
Nice ATGM dodge.
I don't even play DCS, this is just a good watch haha.
More! More! More! Of this!!!!
Imagine the Apache was in battlefield 4 instead of the viper; god that would’ve been a beast.
Right On
For those foolish enough to shoot at you, a favorite line from Kurt Russell in "Big Trouble in Little China" comes to mind: "Son of a B*tch Must Pay!"
Anyone know why the hellfires make that immediate turn after launching? Is it to mask the direction of the Apache?
Who knows maybe Casmo and GS in AH-64 might be able to get that felon or even a raptor...
How about a video with the AH-1Z?
How are you locking onto the targets and creating that box around them that leaves your TADs completely still?
It’s a point track. I don’t remember what the bind is called though sorry.
Wow, talk about wildly unfair. Getting a REAL Apache pilot who is ALSO good at video games to be your driver. How many Aces do you have up your sleeve, GS? 😂
See, I ❤ the Apache the way folks love the A-10 😅
at 2:23 which key did he pressed to get a point track on the target?
