Yurgon Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 Wow, pretty sure it's new (or at least I've never seen it). Great find! :thumbup: Anyone know where that took place? Looked like Western Europe. Pretty sure it's not Germany, though, because I can't imagine this type of NOE being legal over here unless an actual war broke out - and even then I wouldn't be surprised if it was still against regs (yeah, sure, fight the Commies, but don't wake up the neighbors!). :D

VikingTsunami Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 Sorry for noob question, but is the 64 better or worse than the Ka50? The AH-64 is a lot more capable than the -50s. Its sorta equal with the -52s, AFAIK. KA-52 Damn, I'd love to have the KA-52 in the game, but to be honest I'd rather have an Apache considering that we already have the KA-50.

StrongHarm Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 I'm a big Shark fan, but if you put feelings and philosophy aside, there is no real comparison. The AH-64 has no rival right now.. not by half... no not even the KA-52. (If someone is thinking the new Chinese AH.. which is nothing more than a converted civilian helo with off the shelf components.. never express that thought to anyone without a smiley face :) This may not be true for very long though.. interesting times. It's a good thing that this is Early Access and we've all volunteered to help test and enhance this work in progress... despite the frustrations inherent in the task with even the simplest of software... otherwise people might not understand that this incredibly complex unfinished module is unfinished. /light-hearted sarcasm

Heli Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 some facts The target should be designated by the launching aircraft when the aircraft can fire from a position close enough to the target to ensure accurate designation without extensive exposure of the launching aircraft to the enemy threat. On a clear day, target designation is limited by the capability of the designator to maintain the total laser spot on the target. Table 5-7 shows Hellfire laser designation times. http://www.ganino.com/files/military%20manuals/FM%201-140%20-%20Helicopter%20Gunnery.pdf

Headhunter88 Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 Targeting in modern combat helicopter Hello, last days i am thinking about 2 issues: 1. As some of us knows most of helicpters from 80's like AH-64A, AH-1W etc. has no radar to seek and identificate target. So i have question - how crew of such chopper know that in front of them (for example couple kilos or even metres ahead) there is a some kind of threat like armored column, SAM? Does CP/G through the whole flight is forced to constant focus on looking in every direction for enemy land and air forces using cameras, FLIR, IR, TADS, PNVS and the safety of the crew is depending on his reflex and good eye or there is some equipment in such helos to inform about potential target automatically? I am not talkin about missile warning systems etc. 2. How looks the process of aiming Stinger missile in AH-64 or Sidewinder in AH-1W? How crewmembers is "telling" to rocket that this little point in the sky is hostile aircraft? Thanks in advance for all answers ;)

I am not talkin about missile warning systems etc. Yes, head on a swivel + intelligence. These helis don't work alone - they have scouts going with them, and they may also be directed by ground troops or other assets. 2. How looks the process of aiming Stinger missile in AH-64 or Sidewinder in AH-1W? How crewmembers is "telling" to rocket that this little point in the sky is hostile aircraft? Thanks in advance for all answers ;) Aim with helmet :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
Headhunter88 Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 Many thanks, you just confirmed and upgraded my own informations and conceptions in this subject ;)
StrongHarm Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 If you don't mind me adding, GGT; In the latest variant of the AH-64 they also have UAVs they can deploy to covertly and autonomously scan forward from standoff distance. The gunner can view a video feed from the UAV for target validation and situational awareness. The AH-64 has a monocle connected to the helmet that works with other systems for target acquisition and designation. The monocle on the AH-64E is much more sophisticated than monocles on previous Apaches, and a century beyond the monocle you may have seen if you've flown KA-50 Blackshark. Look up Apache Longbow IHADSS and TADS.

Headhunter88 Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 Gun to helmet in AH-1 Cobra Hi everyone I was looking for informations how works the system of gun to helemt slavery in AH-1 Cobra choppers family As we know AH-64 uses infrared sensors/receivers inside cockpit which are "observing" pilot helmet movements I saw that AH-1W chopper pilots have something like wire attached to their helmets-is it a part of gun targeting system ? A also heard that AH-1Z has a system that is very similar to AH-64 but more advanced but i am not sure and i am completely green how looked directing of a gun in AH-1G, -Q, -J, -S etc choppers from 60' and 70' any information will be helpful if anyone wants to share his knowledge :smilewink:
StrongHarm Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 Newer Apaches have the Arrowhead system. This has vastly improved optics (both in the eye piece and in the pod). The eye piece isn't just input, it's also output by tracking the eye pupil for precise targeting and sensor queuing. One interesting thing to note about Apache pilots: They learn how to operate their eyes independently of one another. The left eye might be looking straight forward while the right eye is looking down and right!

Headhunter88 Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 Task Force Normandy pilot interview Hey guys another annoying quote:helpsmilie:, maybe someone also watched interview which I saw couple years ago, i believe in Youtube or common website, there was a short interview with Apache pilot which was telling about Task Force Normandy group and he was explaining that they were forced to solve the problem with taking external fuel tanks and don't mix guided and unguided weapens on Alfa AH-64 model for this action?? Anyone heard or saw something alike ??
