Oh yeah! Black Shark 2 rulez!
To cheer me up as I recuperate from the operation on my lung, The Lioness upgraded me to Black Shark 2 (along with a bunch of other goodies).
All I can say is...UPGRADE if you haven't already! Ship ops got way better along with a bunch of other stuff in the sim.
Here's a test to see if you can really fly a helicopter:
Fly out to your favorite boat. I chose a Ticonderoga-class missile cruiser. They have a more convoluted deck arrangement than a frigate. You have to fly in over some other stuff on the cruiser instead of just parking it on the fantail like you do on the frigate. I like the more challenging flight deck arrangement of the cruiser.
Once at the boat, back that nasty mother into its parking spot so when you leave you can just leap forward into action instead of having to screw around trying to miss the ship's superstructure.
She looks pretty nice sitting on the flight deck of that Ticonderoga-class can, doesn't she?
After a nice lunch in the wardroom, during which you can answer the million questions as to why you're flying a Russian helicopter with Marine markings, take off again and fly on back to your land base.
If you can complete that in Black Shark 2, you can call yourself a chopper pilot. Be careful backing into your parking space. It's a tight fit.
Cheers!
