That's what I'm talkin about bro

[@Gottel1]

Thanks!

[@tanberjan]

Thanks for putting this video together. You explained the procedure very clearly and i have managed to get it in the air and flying now the majority of the time. I do still have some accidents though, i think when i press the controls too much or too much compensation. Like you said, the hover is the hardest part!

Im glad it was helpful! Yes, you really need to do small movements and not overcompensate and get into a PIO (pilot induced oscillation)

[@bukhariali71]

Nicely done. Huey and Ka50 are the helicopters I own. How are the controls in the Kiowa compared to them? Is it a maniac like the UH1 or something a bit more stable like the Black Shark?

[@__Whisper__]

I think it’s a bit more like the huey than the Ka-50, because it’s you are still dealing with the tail rotor and everything. I find it fairly easy to fly though, probably around the same level of difficulty as the huey, or maybe slightly easier.

@@__Whisper__ thanks. Debating whether to pickup the Kiowa or Apache. Level of difficulty wise, which is harder to fly?

[@__Whisper__]

@bukhariali71 i find the Apache to be a bit harder to fly, but which one you get depends on what u want to do with it. If you want to do more damage and be able to take out more targets, then get the apache bc it carries much more ordnance, but is more complicated and there are more systems to learn. The Kiowa is a bit easier to fly, and has fewer weapons systems and targeting systems, but cant carry as much ordnance and is more intended as a scout helicopter rather than an attack helicopter, and as such is useful for assisting other aircraft with targeting if u play mp with ppl.
