2023年8月17日 · The KA-52 however has been shot down far more often than the Apache has been despite being fielded in such small numbers compared to the Apache. The KA-52 is a good helicopter, but at least use your brain when making insane claims

Its funny though because there are a shit ton of different helicopter models used by the military. When they say attack helicopter do they mean a Blackhawk or a Boeing AH-64 Apache or a Bell AH-1 Cobra or a Lockheed AH-56 Cheyenne? Even their dumb joke consists of a spectrum.

The "I sexually identify as an Attack Helicopter" comes from people, usually those SJWs, identifying themselves, whether sexually or not, as many different things that seem odd. In this case the copypasta makes fun of it by saying the person identifies as an attack helicopter.

2022年9月20日 · These days I’m flying the Apache in DCS 99% of the time. I haven’t flown the Apache IRL, but have flow enough other helicopters (AW139, Bell 412, Bell 212, Bell 206B/L, AS350BA/B2/B3, RH44, RH22) to have a pretty good grasp on how a helicopter should feel. The Apache is a bit of an interesting helicopter in DCS.

The Apache battalions were built for taking down armor divisions in the Fulda Gap in Europe. It's an apples to space donuts comparison. And shooting things from the air isn't always Close Air Support. It could be, and I'd say it probably is in the case of the Apache, Close Combat Attack. The difference is ownership of the fires/effects.

Shooting the AA-99 with explosive rounds while in near-zero G makes me feel like an AH-64 Apache helicopter r/Starfield This subreddit is dedicated to Starfield, a role-playing space game developed by Bethesda Game Studios.

2009年9月17日 · Us Apache guys are for the most part chill, we take care of our own and eat our own. Once you get to Rucker you'll see what I'm talking about. We get that most people that want to be in Apaches are the right people, you have to want to fly them. We also don't have to tell anyone we fly the best helicopter in the world.

The M230 on the Apache is considered an “area weapon system” not a “point target” weapon system. All in all those looked like pretty accurate guns. However when the E model first came out they had some serious accuracy issues due to a bad box on the turret.

2023年9月22日 · The Cobra was the brainchild of a Bell engineer named Mike Folse. In early 1965, Lockheed had won the competition for a new dedicated attack helicopter. The Bell entry, the Warrior, was somewhat lackluster, while Lockheed, who had never produced a helicopter, promised all sorts of gee-wiz capabilites. Morale at Bell was low.

I was an apache guy, did both Delta company (heavy maintenance, 8+ 500 hr phases) and line company work (A co). I would say it would average out to about 20-35 man hours roughly. It really depends honestly. Like every 25hours/14days you have an inspection that will take 4 people 4hours to do, not counting any issues that arise.
