llOPPOTATOll Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Although this isnt a official procedure, many apache pilots flip their HDU under their goggles when flying. Would be nice if we could do the same in dcs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team Raptor9 Posted May 9, 2022 ED Team Share Posted May 9, 2022 Aside from it being a prohibited procedure in the US Army, there is no evidence to support the claim of "many" Apache pilots. I know it is mentioned in a book, and I know one or two pilots that have done it, but that hardly equates to a common technique. One pilot that tried it said it wasn't very effective because you lose a lot of your NVG field-of-view because of where the goggles are required to be adjusted to fit in front of the HDU. 1 Afterburners are for wussies...hang around the battlefield and dodge tracers like a man.

I was flying with an apache pilot yesterday and he was talking about how he did it irl and how other people do it too and was wishing he could do it in game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
