This is a basic on gunships ... not a basics on flying. Please make sure you know what you are doing. Otherwise train beforehand or wait for the Rotarywing 101 to come around again! If we see you have no clue how to even operate the most basic stuff in a helicopters we might ask you nicely to leave. (Kick you out)
This training will happen in groups of two (one pilot + one gunner).
The birds we are mainly going to use for this training are the AH-1Z Cobra, AH-6M Littlebird, AH-64 Apache and Mi-24 Hind.
Main topics that will be covered:
The roles of a gunship
Your rights and duties as a gunship crew
The roles of specific crew slots.
Sensors
Radar
RWR
Infrared
Visual
Launch detection
Weapon usage
Main cannon
FFAR
Hellfire (Laser and Radar)
ACE
RHS
Wireguided
AA
Tactics and strike theory
IFF and making the right judgement on when to ask and when to shoot first (universal RoE)
Example scenarios (This is where you get to do the shooty shooty thing)
Emergency procedures (Same thing as in Rotarywing 101)
This training is up to everybody but regular+ get priority. If the RSVP is full come back a few hours before the training starts ... last time over a quarter of the attendees dropped out after being RSVPed. (We then just let everybody into the flight training room)
Training will be held on the second server. (Fly bois who just want to listen in and maybe learn a few new things about the ACE hellfires (but don't want to do the full training) feel free to just hop in and stay a bit in the back. Still keep in mind the template is limited to 17 people)
Btw if you got 1 hour and 45 minutes of time feel free to prepare with watching this video (keep in mind it is a bit outdated so don't take everything in it for granted)
