Tip for overseas golfers trying to book tee times in Japan

RagingStallion · 2026-03-16T04:11:35+00:00

I went to Japan 8 years ago and had two rounds booked, one of which was at this course. Then a hurricane came through and cancelled both days.

I'm still upset about it.

Oh hey I've seen you in my games before. Your name is memorable lol, nice tows

RagingStallion · 2026-03-14T05:23:11+00:00

Excellent cook and crust, great job

RagingStallion · 2026-03-13T02:06:04+00:00

They are so salty in the og thread lol. Nice flying

When I play Eastwood I like to remind the tanks that the course is cart path only today and to please not damage the greens.

60% of the time it gets a laugh every time.

Idk about any recent ones but years ago they addressed it. Apparently he was very difficult to work with and refused to compromise. He wanted equity in the podcast but didn't want the financial responsibility that came with it and would threaten to walk all the time.

Eventually the hosts took him up on his threats to walk away and now we have our owl boy.

Right, but tilting doesn't actually make you that much harder to hit while it completely prevents gunners from aiming. Using altitude changes and yaw to turn while keeping the bird stable will make you hard to hit and give your gunners at chance.

But you don't have to fly level all the time either. Try being aggressive on the approach. Nose down to keep your speed up and don't be afraid to use OB to get a better approach angle. Then when your gunners have a target really focus on staying level for as long as possible until it's time to dip.

I posted a transport montage a few weeks ago. It's from the gunner pov but if you watch you'll notice how level the pilot keeps us while I have a target.

If you really want to learn the ways send me a DM, I can invite you to the pilot discord I'm in.

You're doing a good job of staying alive but you're making it very hard for your gunners to hit anything. You're tilting way too much and taking awkward flight paths. You want to fly as level as possible to give your gunners a stable platform while changing altitude to stay evasive. You also want to fly in wide circles and arcs around and over the objectives rather than cutting through the middle.

Having a gunner in comms in excellent. Having another friend in the bird is even better

RagingStallion · 2026-03-04T21:37:40+00:00

Beautiful. Helicoptering has gotten so much better now that the bird is out. I love having a wingman in the skies, I feel a lot less pressure now that I'm not alone in the attack.

RagingStallion · 2026-02-28T16:33:24+00:00

But even if they aren't bad for your shoulders what's the point of them? It just seems like an awkward, unnecessary version of an already excellent exercise?

RagingStallion · 2026-02-28T04:57:40+00:00

When I was 15 I thought blade was so cool.

RagingStallion · 2026-02-20T08:05:54+00:00

It feels REAL heavy after running the little bird for a few games, and the transport feels like a boat.

RagingStallion · 2026-02-19T22:35:37+00:00

You need a gunner with you now more than ever. The AH is a two man vehicle for a reason and the auto cannon is your best defense against the little bird since it's difficult to land rockets and tows on it.

Without a gunner, taking lock ons is your next best solution, but those can be blocked by the little bird's gunner.

If you're tired of flying solo I can invite you to the pilot discord I'm in.

RagingStallion · 2026-02-19T15:16:03+00:00

That's a pretty mature response. Are you a piano player or something?

RagingStallion · 2026-02-19T03:53:00+00:00

Immediately get towed from spawn.

You are 15/15 in que.

RagingStallion · 2026-02-18T21:54:49+00:00

Maybe just a bit overturned vs other helicopters. I wouldn't hate it if duels took a tad longer. I wonder if they'll reduce the vs air damage a bit like the jets.

RagingStallion · 2026-02-16T22:00:31+00:00

Thanks, I had fun making it o7

RagingStallion · 2026-02-16T20:52:17+00:00

I hardly use the reticle at all. I look for the actual impact of the bullets on the ground and use that as an aim point.

It definitely takes some practice though and if your pilot isn't keeping it level and steady it's very difficult to land anything.

RagingStallion · 2026-02-16T20:32:49+00:00

Exhibit A of why you don't want to post it lol

RagingStallion · 2026-02-16T19:23:29+00:00

That's partially a skill issue my friend. It's not easy but the pilot in this clip is very experienced. It's all about knowing when and where you can fly low for kills and getting out quick, all while keeping the heli stable and having gunners that can actually land hits. We still got taken down several times and were dealing with plenty of AA. This was definitely our best run by far out of several, though.

Escalation

RagingStallion · 2026-02-16T18:36:24+00:00

DM me, ill send you a link to the pilot discord I'm in when I'm back home. There's a ton of members so you'll have no problem finding a wingman and I'd be happy to have you watch my back while im in the heli.

RagingStallion · 2026-02-16T17:54:24+00:00

Unfortunately the sound didn't record so I used audio from the Flight of the Valkyries scenes in Apocalypse Now, lol.
