- Cook happens to be an excellent FAC, wrangling up ~20 aircraft into a semi-coherent structure with everyone engaged and aiming to contribute. Check out the discord's server-info & the website map reporting enemy sightings - there's always some folks on, and if there's a critical mass w/ a FAC, odds are something like this is happening.
This was just another evening on Rotorheads - so other than the sitreps posted on the discord, it's not a planned misison with pre-briefed roles, flights and complimentary aircraft selections, but a 'whomever joins in whatever'.
I mention cook, but obviously credit for Tupper on creating & hosting this beast, Crifort and all the other commanders pushing the frontlines and reds to keep it engaging.
I was fully immersed in my activities, so unfortunately I couldn't capture all the other cool stuff that was happening, including CSAR, slingloads, crate-drops, coordination with fixed-wing drops, etc. etc.
The recording of my voice cut out slightly on a few occasions, so when they woulda heard "go for Volk", it might just have "Volk" on the vid. And yeah I need to work on my brevity & comms in terms of "no joy", "tally" etc.
Ended up taking I think 2 TOW missiles and got home safely each time. Both times would have been avoidable if I just followed my own advice and kept my distance ;-) - Hry
You maintain such serious tone while playing with friends lmfao, good shit good shit !
hehe. serious tone = pretend to be remotely professional and competent.
I remember that mission, that was fun. Had our hands full that night !!! Spooky
was indeed
Always great to see helicopters get some love!
Fun times when everyone works together effectively. Awesome pilots and community! Thanks for the upload!
Damn that looks like fun!!
sure was
Hell yeah. Do you guys do this often? Ive never been able to use ABRIS/PRT before. Just learned my Bulls calls and Offsets in my A10c2 CDU. JTAC/AFAC/SADL seems like alot of fun.
I bet you are ready for the Hind yeah?
Happens frequently enough on Rotorheads. I wouldn't say it's as much a scheduled thing - just often there's a critical mass of people on, and frequently enough they're joined by a FAC. And you can easily enough see who's on & flying what or FAC from the Discord server-info or from the live-map website.
Got the HIND on pre-order - waiting for it. Can't say I'm ready - still need to actually watch those Wags videos, but I'll do that when the release date comes close.
