I feel the need, the need for twitch

[Rogue Trooper]

Still,

After all these years of negative feedback towards this weapon platform!

I still cannot decide why I love this weapon so much…. I often wonder why this weapon just feels so right to me and not to others.

 

I believe the flight model to be off by a touch here and there.

Fundamentally, I hate the way the collective lacks influence on the nose of the chopper, for me pulling the collective up lifts the choppers nose and fundamentally influences the choppers flight path in every attitude but most importantly in the curve…. It offers infinite controllability in every flight regime.

Is it the SAS that pushes you towards flying this weapon more like a fixed wing aircraft, I do not know.

 

For sure Polychops have captured the twitchiness of this weapon, The real life R22 is just as twitchy with just as much tiny cyclic movement so this for me is A OK!.

 

Why do I love the polychops gazelle so much?

 

I believe Polychops have shown me something different.

I believe they have fundamentally reorganised what I believe an attack chopper is and erased what I used to believe was better.

 

I grew up for the last 30 years loving the Apache, but now I reckon there may be better. I reckon staying low and tight in cover is correct in DCS world.

I reckon the weapon should release murder without exposing itself…. It is the only way a serial killer may survive in such a technologically advanced battle field.

 

I believe the Europeans show us the way again.

 

I fundamentally believe in the gazelle and its design, it is a nasty piece of sh!t and I dread to think what the tiger is like.

I think it's the mission profile of this kind of anti-tank helicopters combined with the simulated time-frame (80s-90s) that makes the Gazelle a great module in itself, even with the quirks that it comes with that I can't or don't want to deny.

 

The sniping and pretty much all-seeing AI takes away a little bit from that, but all in all, when the Gazelle is being overhauled as promised, this module (along with its competitor from another team) will become even more awesome eventually.
