Necroscope Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Team, any tips on fighting armed helos please? They just tearing my plane apart. My pilot, to be precise. P.S. Yes, this is correct sub-forum. :) Всех убью, один останусь! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apache600 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 A head on charge will almost always end with a less then favorable result for you :) What I've done is, as I'm turning in to engage, I try and see which way the helo is facing. The moment they turn their nose towards me, I break off and try again. What I'll do is circle high above them until I can catch a flank or back attack, and then dive in. But even so, if they are able to snap their nose quickly and face me, I'll break off.

The M Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J-CATCH The helicopter is a moving AA platform for those old planes. The best aproach is to attack from above to make the enemy guns useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotor57 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 This is how it's happened for me all the time, but looking from the other side of the barrel: Excellent video, Thanks for showing "the other side of the Barrel" I've felt the pain of choppers many times... They aren't the easiest targets to hit in DCS. I've had some success with rockets at shallow approach angles. I'd probably have better luck throwing a rock at them....

rajdary Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I completed that mission by keeping high altitude and at sea so you can clearly see where the helos are and then try to get behind them to get them with missiles or guns.
