When firing apkws at longer ranges ( greater then 3km or so) fire the rocket, count to say 5-8sec and then lase. You can get out to 4k+. When lasing from launch the rocket doesn't loft because it immediately follows the laser.
I’ve made so many posts about this in the years prior about how excited I was and nobody else was 😂 everybody jumping on the bandwagon now that it’s out. Glad more people are becoming rotor heads now though.
Ive never flown a real Apache, maybe it really is like that, so cant say. I will say that Apache requires more attention to controls to get the most out of it. Kiowa is easier to fly out the box with basic Hotas.
I'm fairly close to an Apache IP and he says the FM is really out of whack with the real thing, it should be a lot less twitchy and more stable. ED seems to be sitting on making any FM fixes until they finish modeling all the avionics bays or something.
I like your vids, just stumbled upon the channel. Anyways, the Kiowa is a lot of fun. Once they fix the sound design with Echo 19, it’ll definitely be one of the high range modules. It took me a couple days and some slight curves to my cyclic roll and pitch to get the controls down. It’s nothing like the Hip or Hind. In those big super powerful choppers, you use (or can use) the collective and its torque outputs to help facilitate left and right turns laterally. With the Kiowa, that is not the case. If found that the collective basically stays where it is, most of the time. I can’t wait for the sound update.
Thanks sir, glad you are enjoying the content. Welcome to the channel. Yes, the sounds are possibly the only thing that could use improvement in the Kiowa right now. Otherwise I think it's a beast of a module. And yeah, collective stays where it is most of the time in flight. Unless you wish to go faster or slower in cruise. She's a lot nimbler than the big birds, but less twitchy than the Gazelle and OH6.
1) It is the newest module. 2) It is the newest module. 3) It is the newest module. and 4) It is the newest module... Yep. that is how it goes. When a new module is released, it becomes the fan favorite until something new comes out.
@@Adalla Some people want it quick and dirty. Personally, i like when people stay off-script. You can generally exctract more information, even if it's partitioned. You'll never please everyone, so stick to a format YOU like and fuck all the cry babies who just want to consume and not contribute.
What’s yall discord?? I’d love to fly with some of yall in dcs
Here ya go bud: Welcome to join us :)

Because it is and always was the most badass little MF whirly bird ever.
Nice stuff, very helpful 👍
Tons of interesting info in this, thanks for sharing, been wondering how it could be better in some ways than Apache, you explained that well
Please post the grid reference position to the base you are at in the video?
you can see it on 8:40 in mgrs (37S-DT-6420-0747)
I have spent 8+ hours a day in the module since release day. I am addicted 😅
Getting mine tomorrow!
Love your stuff. Too much mouth noises (lip pursing, tongue clicking) though.
Thanks for the feedback. I will look into it! :) :) always appreciate feedback on how to improve.
@@Adalla i do think you need pop filter for the mic. nice video btw
@@rickymarumade I will definitely take this feeback and play with the levels and filters. Thanks for the feedback.

Do you think the Apache FM needs to be fixed and more balanced like the Kiowa? Eg. easy to hover, etc?😊

@@TacticalOni thanks mate. Sounds encouraging. I hope that ED will be able to improve the fm as I love the Apache.

A-10C has APKWS and Jeff has analogue
Where is this base in the Syria map you said you would give in the description???
@@johndieterle7328 right next to border of Syria, Iraq and Jordan.
Well the cockpit needs a better texture contrast, feels like the buttons are simple draws...
Thank you for this review. where is this base in Syria module. Thank you very much +1 subscription for the work
Its near Iraq/Jordan border. Its called Talaf or Ulaf something like that.
@@Adalla Thank you
I need people to fly with. Who's down?
Yes, best easy funny helo, 👍
Ok so.....how do I get this? I have DCS Steam....maybe that's why?
Its available on the DCS store like other modules. Both stram and non steam should be available
What's truly amazing is the module size! At roughly 200mb the details and flight physics are incredible
1) It is the newest module. 2) It is the newest module. 3) It is the newest module. and 4) It is the newest module... Yep. that is how it goes. When a new module is released, it becomes the fan favorite until something new comes out.
F15 and F4 were the hype. I dont own and never tried or interested in either. I am sure I am not the only one.
You should write down what you want to say and show. The whole navigation part is such a mess. Annoying to watch.
Thanks for feedback. Yeah sometimes the improv doesnt work.
