  • 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 ;-)

    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.
