ED Team JimMack Posted June 2, 2009 Author ED Team Share Posted June 2, 2009 (edited) Very, very interesting - a 55 minute combat in Basra between a T55 and a Lynx. based on the book: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Weapons-Free-Story-Royal-Pilot/dp/094755467X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1243973056&sr=1-1 Discusses tactics - Hampster/Rat etc. Also shows helo acting as an AFAC for A-10. Shows, as has been said before, a helo pilot has to think like a sniper. Edited June 2, 2009 by JimMack Having problems?

bumfire Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 (edited) I have the lynx V T55 helicopter warfare programme on my server, that pilot HAD MUCHO BALLS to go toe to toe with that tank the way he did. cant help but wonder now that the series is finished that why didnt they include a hind version ???, they had lynx, and falklands sas one and a huey in vietnam, but no hind ??? I would of thought a hind deserved to be in it since its one of the helo's that has seen the most combat worldwide.

Distiler Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 mhh I don't think it has ended, can't find any place that says "last episode" (it says "latest" but not "last").

joey45 Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 They've done two Brit and two yank.... whats next i wounder... good series though The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

It was the last, it was only a 4 series show, if I recall correctly last week it said that the final episode was about Lynx attack helos in iraq, easy to find out though, just look at the five tv scheudle as they will have it marked down a week in advance. Yup, it was the final, Secrets of Egypt are at 8pm next week :( Edited June 4, 2009 by bumfire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HitchHikingFlatlander Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Whats up with that series stuff, I liked a UK show called "Flying Heavy Metal" with none other than Bruce Dickinson as host. That was pretty interesting but only made 6 shows? Now I'm an Iron Maiden fan so of course my judgement of the show was a little biased! I'll definitely look at getting this series thru how you say "alternative avenues"........... http://dcs-mercenaries.com/ USA Squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTTW-DratsaB Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Yeah Flying heavy metal was a great series with Brucie. Not heard about this^ series though. Its called "Helicopter warfare"?

McVittees Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Very, very interesting - a 55 minute combat in Basra between a T55 and a Lynx. based on the book: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Weapons-Free-Story-Royal-Pilot/dp/094755467X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1243973056&sr=1-1 Discusses tactics - Hampster/Rat etc. Also shows helo acting as an AFAC for A-10. Shows, as has been said before, a helo pilot has to think like a sniper. I read the book and didn't think it was enough of a story to warrent a whole book. The main thing I took from this program (and the book), was how totally screwed we would have been if the Iraqs' had managed to put up decent resistance. They were flying against a full division but only one tank was trying to shoot them down and that was almost too much! The Lynx doesn't seem much of a tank hunter - the TOW missile takes ~24 seconds to reach its full range! Thank god we have Apaches + Longbow + hellfire now!

bumfire Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 For those that asked, I am uploading now, I had mega problems earlier, filezilla kept stopping the uploads at exactly 26mb and upon resuming it would freak out the server. I tried to fix it but filezilla was having none of it, so as a last resort I jumped over to another ftp program and so far its looking good, not sure what FZs problem was as it was working fine the other day, but anyway, the first one is on its way up now and the rest will follow, if it messes up again tonight then I will leave it til tomorrow to fix as its nearly 2am, but i think its all good now by the looks of it, fingers crossed.
