Hi guys! Question for you, I found out I can start the engine with the battery alone in the DCS AH-64 Apache. I don't know if that is realistic or not?

The AH-64 Apache engine can be started with the battery on without starting the APU.

Do you mean the real AH-64D or the current DCS EA version? I mean, unless you're planning on sitting on the ground for a long time on battery power that would pretty much negate the need to have an APU on the real thing, which would in turn save weight, and you know how much aircraft designers love saving weight.

I suspect its an EA WIP item. I would think that the engines just wouldn't start without bleed air from the APU.
