DmitriKozlowsky Posted Saturday at 06:53 PM Posted Saturday at 06:53 PM In real life how do Apache pilots roll or Immelman the helicopter? I am unable to do it in sim without catastrophic results. My helo is empty with 20% fuel. I see Red Bull BO 105 do it. However it has special rigid rotor hub. I see RAF Lynx do it.

HPLsCat Posted Sunday at 12:16 AM Posted Sunday at 12:16 AM The DCS Apache can do it if you control the rotor droop, but it's not exactly representative of real life.

NeedzWD40 Posted Sunday at 04:00 AM Posted Sunday at 04:00 AM Ignoring the obvious "ok but y tho," you can do loops and rolls with the 64 in the game, you just need careful manipulation of the controls. It's also advisable to kill the SAS while doing it as well. An immelmann turn is hard for me to pull off without dumping all my speed and it seems rather silly to do so when more than enough authority exists for a bog standard climbing turns with a bit of bank and yaw.

ricktoberfest Posted Monday at 11:26 PM Posted Monday at 11:26 PM the biggest thing i found with maneuvers like this is to avoid lots of collective. You only want enough to keep it controllable or it will work against you and slow you down instead of allowing you to climb like that. In the Ka-50 if you have too much collective then the rotors hit. The Apache doesn't have that problem but it still needs very low collective when able. Its all about using your momentum and timing.
