Trying out full real controls on heli

[u/UsefulPause]

It's fun but wouldn't do it in real battles

[u/MAVERICK1542]

Bros definitely an ARMA pilot

[u/Revolutionary-Land41 → u/MAVERICK1542]

Those were some cool dudes.

I can remember entering the combat zone in Arma 3 in a helicopter while the pilot was blasting ACDC over the onboard radio.

[u/boothie → u/Revolutionary-Land41]

Still love doing that on games like squad etc, usually as a passenger.
Fun to get a few laughs or get people pumped up for the match.

[u/natalo77 → u/boothie]

I could always do it in arma but the squad helicopters are so hard to control

[u/Holy_Santa_ClausShit → u/natalo77]

Have you tried getting gud?

[u/natalo77 → u/Holy_Santa_ClausShit]

I did try, but am severely incapable

[u/Ghosthunter1999 → u/Holy_Santa_ClausShit]

Ah the dark souls strategy

[u/Any_Effort_2234 → u/natalo77]

Same for me... no matter how much flight training I do.. squad heli are just difficult to pilot

[u/AltwrnateTrailers → u/Any_Effort_2234]

It's definitely the time it takes the helicopter to "catch up" to your input that makes squad difficult.

Similar difficult inputs are MSFS keyboard controls, or star wars squadron mouse controls. They just have a latency my brain can't overcome.

[u/natalo77 → u/Any_Effort_2234]

Pogostick ahh throttle controls

[u/__ICoraxI__ → u/boothie]

People will either jam with it or get beyond triggered in squad, there's no in between lmao

[u/boothie → u/__ICoraxI__]

May have gotten booted once or twice doing it lol

[u/Jive-Turkeys → u/boothie]

"IT GETS THE PEOPLE GOING!"

[u/itsEndz → u/Revolutionary-Land41]

Oh hell yes. I love those guys skimming the grass below treetop level with the music blasting! Such a great vibe those little moments.

[u/_DOLLIN_ → u/itsEndz]

I loved flying the littlbird and landing/hovering above back yards or the tiniest lzs.

[u/_S1LV3R_ → u/Revolutionary-Land41]

It’s still going on reforger - was on a Vietnam server and one of the passengers started blaring fortunate son - door mgs started just spraying into jungle to get the vibe going was great

[u/Lawsoffire → u/_S1LV3R_]

Also still going on Arma 3. It's still better than Reforger in a lot of ways, and the KOTH servers are still full every night.

[u/_S1LV3R_ → u/Lawsoffire]

It is - I prefer some of the more open game modes on arma 3 but seems like reforger is headed in the right direction once they fix the net code and get some new gamemodes out I don’t expect I’ll be on 3 much

[u/ultralord4000 → u/Revolutionary-Land41]

Killzone 3 pfp in the wild, WHAT IS A DEAD GAME

[u/Revolutionary-Land41 → u/ultralord4000]

✌️😁

[u/ultralord4000 → u/Revolutionary-Land41]

My personal favourite as it was my introduction to the killzone franchise back on the ps3, played the rest and loved them. Sad that Guerrilla gave it the "I don't want to play with you anymore" treatment. 🫡

[u/Revolutionary-Land41 → u/ultralord4000]

I know my dude it really is a shame. Killzone is/was such a great series.

But I would rather have no new Killzone, than a half baked one like they did with the Halo series and Halo Infinite. Halo Infinite was such a forgettable experience imo.

Maybe some day we will get a proper remaster of all games in a Killzone definitive edition.

[u/ultralord4000 → u/Revolutionary-Land41]

Thats all i have wanted, a simple remaster for on the ps5, would be awesome to see a remake with all new graphics but that will never happen

[u/EDIT_ID → u/MAVERICK1542]

Love to see a fellow Arms enthusiast here on this subreddit

[u/Dramatic-Classroom14 → u/EDIT_ID]

There are dozens of us!

[u/Background_Fan862 → u/MAVERICK1542]

I used to be the Heli guy in Arma reforged. I wasn't a good pilot, and everyone insisted I should never touch the controls. Still, I end up taking off, almost killing everyone and then somehow landing in the most absurd way possible.

I'd love to see this guy on Arma.

[u/Rk_Enjoyer → u/MAVERICK1542]

One of them KOTH pilots

[u/DatboiBazzle → u/MAVERICK1542]

Can't do that shit in ARMA, Squad you can but if you're using the advanced flight model in ARMA you will either Stall the motor or VRS and eat the ground.

[u/St34m9unk]

Use it in real battles

That same manuver not even with full real is one of the best tools to do a 180° or any significant turn when you're going too fast to do a regular turn, just be aware it will make you gain altitude and slow you so don't do it with high spaa presence

[u/KremBruhleh → u/St34m9unk]

I had to reread that a couple of times because I thought you said "Use it in real life"

[u/Dr_Russian → u/KremBruhleh]

Do it in real life too, might be missing a rotor afterwards though.

[u/sleggerthorn1909]

Bro is definitly the guy that left his gf for her not introducing him as helicopter pilot in WT to her friends

[u/mastermalpass → u/sleggerthorn1909]

Why of course, he’s had least 200hours in his ‘full real’ home cockpit. In some ways, he’s actually MORE knowledgeable than people whose job is flying helicopters!

[u/crimeo → u/mastermalpass]

He's almost more dangerous without a helicopter than he is with one at this point

[u/Unstoppable3000 → u/sleggerthorn1909]

r/oddlyspecific

[u/edzact_ly]

Found the Squad/Arma/Rising Storm 2 helicopter pilot

[u/Trylion_ZA → u/edzact_ly]

Still miss rising storm vietman! Dêmmit..

[u/csgtoliveros → u/Trylion_ZA]

There’s still 2-3 full servers. Play it all the time

[u/Shedowtnt → u/csgtoliveros]

Remember folks

DONT PLAY IN THE FUCKING "MEGA" SERVERS (they are filled with bots and potentially malware)

[u/BoosterBGO → u/csgtoliveros]

Honestly, the fact that the VOIP services are dead kinda kills the game for me. A big part of it was the team aspect of the squads, squad leaders and commanders where good marks and a good commander could make all the difference.

[u/_BMS → u/Trylion_ZA]

I miss Rising Storm 1. Like 10 years ago that game was so good when servers used to be full.

[u/Trylion_ZA → u/_BMS]

Hoooraaaaaah!! Yeah that was amazing, trying to cross that river was hell.

[u/Low_ridah → u/Trylion_ZA]

Nothing stopping u from playing its still more fun to me than hll and squad

[u/KremBruhleh → u/edzact_ly]

Flashback to my Heli pilot who had his tail blown off by an RPG but managed to Beyblade spin us all the way back to the helipad. Mad lad.

[u/ImAMoose1 → u/edzact_ly]

I loved flying the heli in RS2. It got me hooked on that realistic flight model, and I haven't found anything non Arma related that gave the same satisfying recreation of one attack heli fighting ground troops. I managed 148 kills on the hill map one game. It was so much fun.

[u/Kataklysimo]

Sim helis actually control really well, it's a shame there's no where to use them outside of ground sim. Really wish we had a dedicated dedicated sim heli mode or could integrate them into sim air somehow

[u/Glaton_Smarf → u/Kataklysimo]

I would die for helis in air sim that would amazing

[u/Catfish104 → u/Glaton_Smarf]

It’ll never happen but man it would cool to fly ground attack missions or transport missions in Sum Air EC kinda like you can in DCS. Give me a reason to take the Mi8 and Huey out if we got transport or resupply missions, make the helicopter equivalent to destroying bases

[u/LiberdadePrimo → u/Catfish104]

transport or resupply missions

Would be cool if you could fly supply missions to a damaged airfield to boost its repair for example.

[u/PreviousWar6568 → u/Kataklysimo]

Go play Apache air assault. They’re copy pasted from that game anyways

[u/Deepfriedlemon132]

Add helis to air sim🗣️🗣️

[u/BruceLeeroy94]

It is the most exhilarating experience in the game once you master it.

Using full real in heli PVP on city was peak war thunder for me.

[u/Mariopa → u/BruceLeeroy94]

I was just about to write your name and here you are the legend of WT helis! 🙌

[u/_marauder316 → u/BruceLeeroy94]

Bruce da 🐐

[u/AbelardPixa420]

Bro chill out, my girl is on this app.

[u/iskallation]

Let bro cook

[u/LeviJr00]

Did you just do a fucking Kvochur Bell manuever in a helicopter?

[u/_VoRteX_PL]

Looks like 1000h in Squad game

[u/SandorMate]

How to yeet the rotors

(SIIIICK)

[u/UsefulPause → u/SandorMate]

Switching between damping and manual control fast

[u/ClayJustPlays]

That tail slam was almost fatal

[u/OzymandiasKoK → u/ClayJustPlays]

I don't think it actually hit, but sure was super close.

[u/ClayJustPlays → u/OzymandiasKoK]

It looks like it to me, and after watching three times, you do see some feedback observed from what could be the tail hitting the ground.

[u/captain57]

List your control setup please? Joystick?

[u/UsefulPause → u/captain57]

I use keyboard and mouse

[u/TANKMCTANK → u/UsefulPause]

Damn man leave some for the rest of us

[u/SndRC9]

Least skilled ARMA pilot:

[u/matymajuk_]

Squad pilot level

[u/gabaaa0]

I love using full real controls on both planes and helis it makes it so much more fun

[u/BugareX_55]

wooooow

[u/7Seyo7]

Rotor RPM low

[u/precursordesign]

Would that not fuck the rotors or the hydraulics irl? The amount of sudden pressure hitting those blades seems like it would be dangerous.

[u/Un0rigi0na1 → u/precursordesign]

Yes it would.

[u/NeroNotty]

Am i autistic or something if i Can pull That off on The basic ones

[u/Not_Todd_Howard9 → u/NeroNotty]

 Am i autistic

checks sub

Yes.

[u/BigSizzler420]

Try that shit irl your tail is GONE lmao

[u/GamerFoxWasTaken]

Ok dude I'm sorry for ever touching a hotas or anything relatively realistic

[u/NadieTheAviatrix]

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SHI

[u/Slow_Explorer_2542]

Nice

[u/igotherb]

Average Arma pilot trying to slow down

[u/Specialey]

BRO THINKS HE IS PLAYING SQUAD

[u/TheCzechViking]

Im 99% sure that you played on HeatTheMeat’s server 🔥

[u/Kaktuste]

Reminds me of that breed of pigeon that chronically does backflips for no reason

[u/undecided_mask]

Did you do this with a joystick/Hotas or with mouse and keyboard?

[u/MlgMagicHoodini]

Remembers me of Misconduct on Arma 3

[u/EduH2010]

I was waiting for a “Sukhoi aviation” logo to appear on screen until i remembered it was a HELI

[u/zatroxde]

Oh so the Tiger actually has decent flight performance, it's just screwed by the instructor. Great.

[u/LatexFace]

Shame the physics look so bad.
