I don't know about you guys, but I'm feeling very valued today

You could also ripple the laser variant, but only if the slant range is far enough and the distance between the targets is manageable, so the gunner has enough time to shift. The TADS actually lets you know when to ripple the next missile, based on flight time/slant range. It's up to the gunner to swiftly shift between targets.

Is this all we get today!!! I need 3 hrs of Give what I need cap .I've watch every one of GR videos at least 3 time..

[westwood]

So it all comes down to this: CAP, if you don't make tutorials about it, I don't fly it or use that particular feature.
So glad to see you do tutorials again. ❤

[pinkfloyd]

This is the kind of content that made you guys the best.

[thebeast]

glad to see you still makin tutorials, keep it up!

Hey Cap, Great video but @ 6:00 you keep hitting up short for George to get a new target, All you have to do is press down long and it brings back up the same list to pick a different target.

I really like Wags' tutorial videos but the one for setting up the Apache controls is just crazy, something like 30 minutes or more of just binding buttons. It literally broke my desire to learn the Apache. I knew that getting these missiles fired cannot possibly need pressing so many buttons. Then I came across this video and there you go, I bound the 10 or so required buttons and I can now fire the Hellfire missiles and I learnt how to do it in 7 minutes. There is a lot to be said for academic-style completeness, especially because DCS allows for that. But there is just as much to be said for simple, to-the-point lessons like these. Both are important, there are both types of players, but your videos are a lot of help for many of us who wants to know the quick basics instead of knowing every single detail. Thanks for making them.

[Wilkost]

im sorry to say i did not attend church last week and for this the good lord has seen fit to stop access to eagle dynamics for me be for Cap and GR releasing information for us, the beautiful humans.

MM radar versions can also be used against air targets.

[Davros-viqg]

I very nearly understood some of the words Matrix used. So in summary, missile go whoosh, missile take its time looking for target, target go boom!

[alextashmotorbikeadventure]

Can you please help? My version (DCS for Steam, Apache) doesn’t have the L option/extra fuel/gun ammo option? I only purchased this DLC yesterday (04/JUL/23) so would have thought it’s up to date? I’m connected to the internet ( updates?) and doesn’t show an update is required?

Thanks for the content, loving learning this aircraft through your tutorials

[MeatVision]

I had no idea there is a radar guided Hellfire 😮

[Anarchy_]

F-15E's and A-10C's working together!🙏👍

[kevintofttoft]

Time for a new Battle of the Bulge with these new missiles!

[ButcherRob-vsgd]

Your videos are super helpful, keep up the good work!

When you watch this video and get an urge to get AH-64 immediately, don't. Try the trial first.
I tried the trial of AH-64 and let me tell you, you CAN NOT fly this with just a joystick alone! I have just a joystick, simple one, Saitek Cyborg Evo from mid 2000s (yes, it still works perfectly fine) and flying the Apache was impossible. Taking off, the chopper starts to spin AND roll, not uncontrollably but enough that you can never adjust for it with a joystick alone. You need to be adjusting with pedals and joystick at the same time.
While in flight, it's alright, however, due to the nature of the chopper, you need to be always holding joystick in a certain position to avoid constant roll. So if you have a joystick that goes back to neutral, it's a constant strain on your hand.
I'd say if you want to get AH-64 you need a full HOTAS setup and preferably one specialized for helicopters.

Did you see that Australia is in negotiations with the US to release 41 retired “classic” F/A-18s to Ukraine. Some of these at least were used in ground attack roles in the middle east.

It would be great to see some missions with these in Ukraine - maybe with F16s in support in air superiority (which you’ve already modelled) and SEAD.

Seems like quite a kick-arse strike package.
