Gazelle Skin Thread

[Mt5_Roie]

Moderator - please sticky!

 

So you've asked for it, and we hear you. We finally got the PSD for you guys to make your own skins. Were looking forward to seeing what awesome you guys create and lets use this thread to showcase you awesome work.

 

For those squads which are adopting the Gazelle we'd love to see what skins you come up with and to show our appreciation - please feel free to shamelessly plug your squad with the squad info (website, member locations, any other info).

Google translate:

 

"And to shoot, you mark a stop?

- No, the shot was taken at the optimum speed stability of the Gazelle, around 150 Km / h and flying between 3 and 5 meters high, 5 meters knowing that we had a visibility of about 5,000 meters. Or the Hot missile could be fired at 4,000 meters, not more. To get to useful distance, that is to say within range of the missile, my crews have even cut tiny silhouettes of cardboard, then glued on the reticle viewfinders, which were wide tank seen from 4,000 m. When we viewed a tank and it corresponded to this pattern is that we were in range.

 

So it was a squadron online shooting ...

- We started flying with ten Gazelle online and then we passed thirty Gazelle, after the arrival in November of reinforcements Hot Gazelle and Puma who carried my RHC (helicopter combat regiment) to 60 aircrafts. With these thirty helicopters deployed in line with a 500 m safety distance between each of them, one rake advanced about 15 km wide, is certainly enough to locate and arrest a division up. The online device-making was done at my command, from the leader Gazelle, between fifteen and twenty kms before reaching the estimated positions of the opponent.

 

It was very visible, deploy as many helicopters on a line?

- That's what initially thought the pilots, who felt vulnerable. I made them go through half of the shooting where our exercise targets were, to make them appreciate the discretion of the device flying Gazelle 3/5 m from the floor. To their surprise, they did not see coming, but very stealthily dodge late, it was too late for the opponent. The demonstration was convincing and gave them a high degree of confidence, which proved justified later. Moreover, to put the odds on our side I placed a Puma just behind each Hot squadron, for the immediate collection of crews in case of trouble. This is actually the first and last time we worked so online attack helicopters in real operations!

 

Beyond the tactical, materials were satisfactory?

- We were not then equipped with the camera and the Gazelle Viviane could not therefore get the Hot in daylight but the opponent was not deemed high performance night. Moreover, the Gazelle 341 20mm cannon, with their ammunition, survival reserves, etc. was limited in power and autonomy, while Gazelle 342, that features the Hot missile, had a more powerful turbine.

In fact we saw happen gradually hardware, not all those who had ordered and some that we had not ordered at all, but we were accommodated in the situation. Thus we had no GPS at the start, and we could tape on the dashboard those we then received."

Getting a good look at the template now..

The Empire Test pilot School scheme...

 

EDIT: Gonna do some artistic licence on this one... the round door on the right side is either too big or was moved on the SA342... The ETPS Gaz is the SA341.
