Swedish Hunters deployed with UN patrol by Port Said, 1964

I love these games, and could never replace them since they are so good. However, i lost all hope for new TW content after the move to mobile. If the game isn't profitable, there is no way more work will be put, or i could even say wasted on it. I would love to have more stuff, and i drool everytime i go through the ini files and see references to things that never came, but the way i've seen it for the last 8 years is that the game is finished on TWs part and it is the modding community that keeps it alive.

I LOVE YOU, Veltro2k!!!

I've heard people reporting this but it's my understanding that in order to teach your immune system how to protect your body from the Cornavirus they first have to jump start your immune system. That jump start is the feeling of being sick the day after that's being reported. Now oddly every year I get a flu shot and I get the day after sickness and it's gone by day 2. With the vaccine I didn't even have as much as a sore arm. Our numbers in the US have dropped dramatically which is a great start. Tell your friends, family, and anyone who will listen, if we want to get back to no mask normal everyone should be vaccinated. It's hard to believe there's so much hesitancy and misinformation out there. Glad you're all vaccinated.

McDonnell Douglas F-4D Phantom - Grupo 4 de Caza, Fuerza Aérea Argentina, 1982 During the early 1960's the Fuerza Aérea Argentina (FAA) began an ambitious plan to replace the F-86F Sabre then in service as their main interceptor-fighter. The British English Electric Lightning was briefly considered but was quickly dismissed on account of it's very short range. The Swedish Saab Draken was successfully evaluated and FAA pilots submitted a very favourable report as was the French Dassault Mirage III and it seemed likely that a decision would be made between these two competing aircraft. However, the end of the Frondizi government in 1962 and the subsequent turmoil over the next few years saw the FAA's plans put on hold but the Israeli's successful use of the Mirage III in the 1967 Six-Day War saw the FAA finally decide on the French aircraft. However negotiations with the French Government came to an abrupt end in May 1968 when Juan Carlos Onganía, fearful of a coup d'état, dismissed the leaders of the Armed Forces and cancelled the Mirage order. The 1973 elections (the first general elections for ten years) saw Dr. Hector Cámpora elected as President with a campaign based on a platform of national reconstruction. For the FAA this meant that it's F-86 replacement plans could finally continue but with an aircraft from an unexpected source. Despite the turmoil of Argentina's recent history, the US State Department saw Argentina as a bulwark of anti-Communism in South America and US President Richard Nixon sanctioned the export of 28 ex-USAF F-4d's with deliveries to Grupo 4 de Caza starting in August 1973 and deliveries to Grupo 8 de Caza starting in January 1974. The 1976 US Presidential elections saw incoming President Jimmy Carter highlight issues of human rights and eventually secure a congressional cutoff of all US arms transfers to Argentina and the FAA found it increasingly hard to support Phantom operations except by clandestine support. The FAA used the Phantom during the 1982 Guerra de las Malvinas as a long-range strike aircraft but the FAA's lack of aerial refueling capability and the long distance from their bases dramatically reduced their ability. After 1982 the FAA's Phantom force was increasingly supported by Israel Aircraft Industries and although no additional aircraft could be sourced the remaining 17 aircraft remained in service until 2010.

Sandbagger has hosted two skins Mods for me. You can find them on his Mods page under User Skin Mods. The first one contains 290 new fighter and two-seater skins. No WOFF Skin Pack Skins are overwritten by any of these. The other Mod, Alternative Skins, has 81 fighter and two-seaters. Some are just personal skins that I thought someone else might enjoy using but most of them replace a WOFF Skin Pack skin. The reasons for these alternatives are given in detail in the ReadMe file, so look that over well. If you do not want some of these skins, please follow the information provided in the “Managing your skins” section of the ReadMe Files. If you have any of my old UE/PE Mods I recommend you remove and or delete them. Many of these skins are improved versions of them. Not all of them have been replaced by this Mod but will be in the upcoming one. I will post some screen shots in the screenshot thread Jerbear

I got both shots already. The second shot i didn't feel good but after a day I was fine. That was the Pfizer vaccine

i love this map

Do we have to use cotton wool with alcohol to clean up that Orpheus? Looks awesome.

i will , still have to add some more details to them F-104G with Orpheus reconnaissance pod

So, with next year being the 20th anniversary of SFP1's release, I was thinking of doing something similar to the expansion packs for all the other games in the series for the Paran vs Dhimar conflict, I'm going to gauge interest and lay out each campaign. This will likely use the excellent Desert4 campaigns as a base for the expansion packs, I will lay out each campaign here, including each side and flyable aircraft, Mercenaries will not be listed, just so I can gauge interest.

Anybody want to make a new logo for the top of the WOFF forums. I put something together a couple months ago and as you can tell I didn't spend much time on it. Anyway, I've been looking at for the past couple months and I think it needs to be better. If you don't know what I'm talking about it's the image at the top of this page that says OBD Software and WINGS OVER FLANDERS FIELDS. I know there's some talented folks out there so how about it? E

Thanks very much, Jerhear. I've always greatly enjoyed your skins. The more the merrier!

I do not know if that Dhimari was stupid enough to not notice us, or just following orders. It does not make any difference in military terms. As both enemy hunters dived on our bombers, and emptying their cannons, i continued to dive on them and the second the one i was chasing strarted to pull up, my four Hispano cannons tore down his fuselage and set him ablaze. He was my first ever kill. As i was passing our bombers, which were riddled with holes, there was only one thought in my mind: If i passed the enemy's targets, his wingman must be right on my tail. I instinctively strarted to roll and bank when a second later, another burning Hunter flew right past my canopy. At that instant, the comms were flooded by the excited shout of my wingman: "I got one! I GOT ONE!!". His joy was cut however, by more tracers lighting our cockpit mirrors. USAF planes had joined the fight. We recognised that they were F-8s. The last gunfighter Americans called it. It was a much faster plane than we were, so i decided to use our disadvantage in speed to take the fight at lower altitudes and rolled and dived close to the ground level. I could still the tracers passing me by few inches. I think after a few long bursts he had expanded all his ammo, but with the oilfield on fire in my mirrors, i knew at least one of the bombers had made it. It was time to get out. So i changed course and hugging the desert ground, engines and canopy glass covered in dust, made my way to the border, which was not for away....

I'm only talking about the this website gents. I don't think Pol' would take too kindly to me offering to rebrand his goods.

I'll definitely be downloading these packs, many thanks... I mean, you can't have enough skins can you

Hallo @Jerhear, very nice!! I have used your skins for PE before and I think, they are very good. I will download it this weekend and add it in the mod-list here, CA. Greetings!

Jolly Good! Here is my pilot: Tim Tully is a scrappy little lad who thinks he can run with the big boys! And maybe in aeroplanes, he can! After a stint as the runt of his infantry squad, he joined the RFC to see if the plane would be the great equalizer in his quest to serve his country. If that doesn't work, he is holding out for some sort of Super Soldier Serum injection... Being an avid if not too successful hunter, he decided to go with an equestrian theme for his personal scout, even if he is too puny for the cavalry. We expect great things from him! (Or at least approaching average...) \

Not too keen on the II tacked onto Between Heaven & Hell either. To me it looks like an afterthought. Maybe a sim rename as well as a new Logo would have been good.

a beauty!

Well that went smoothly. Drove up, signed my name, got stabbed, waited a few minutes and was free to go. My company has a pretty slick plan for the people who get the vaccine, so it’s looking like I’ll have a nice three day weekend.

It takes only a few hours to complete the minimum period in AN21. After that, I plot a course to intercept a task force that's coming my way from the English east coast, but still a long way off. I haven't gone too far when the bridge watch spots smoke and mastheads on the horizon. Through the binos, I can see that it’s likely a destroyer. We’re abeam of her and unlikely to be able to intercept even if I want to, but I race to close the range, in the hope that she might be the escort for a convoy or perhaps a capital ship. Sure enough, signs of other ships come into view. But it’s soon clear that what we’re seeing is a whole flotilla of destroyers, racing east towards Norway. Uncatchable. But they’ve spotted me. I’ve got too close in the clear conditions. They start zig-zagging, and two of them turn towards me. The closest one is weaving as she comes, the other is on a course straight for me. Even if it’s just these two, I don’t fancy my chances trying to attack them. I have enough time – and this time, enough water under the keel – to make a break for it. I crash dive and turn away. I get down to 130 metres, at which point I have maybe another ten under my keel. I reckon I really needed another twenty meters, to be below the likely maximum setting of their depth charges. Once down, I start to creep away on silent running. The depth-charging starts! On every barrage, I go to maximum revolutions for a minute or so while the water is disturbed, throwing in a course change. But always to the south, away from the track of the flotilla, since my hunters are more likely to let go and resume their main job, if I’m seen to be trying to get away rather than attacking. Several times, the cans explode too close for comfort. But we get away with nothing worse than a bit of a fright. Meanwhile, the rest of the flotilla continues east, towards Norway. The hunt goes on, but gradually drifts away, as it they’re no longer quite sure where I am. I may or may not have ASDIC pings, I don’t remember. Possibly they were listening with hydrophones, which is possible but unusual. Certainly, one of the destroyers was stopping every now and again, as if to listen while the other one makes attacking runs. A nice touch is that some of the destroyers are carrying mines. This a realistic representation of Operation Wilfred, the Royal Navy’s move to mine the inshore Norwegian shipping lanes used for Swedish iron ore imports to Germany. All I know of this is what I can hear from the hydrophone operator, or for myself if I put on his virtual headphones. On top of that, I can hear with the naked ear the sounds of the destroyer’s screws when they are closing in at high revolutions. And of course the cans going off. It’s all rather scary, until the hue and cry begins to die down, after maybe half an hour. The hydrophone operator loses contact (if you man his station yourself, you can hear a bit further). And the tension in the control room begins to ease, although people still look a bit anxious, as well they might. Even my officers. I increase speed slightly and come up to periscope depth. Up goes the sky periscope, operated from the control room unlike the ‘sit-on’ attack periscope that’s in the conning tower above. With the sky periscope’s larger head I can see above the boat, not just around her. But there’s nothing to see. I increase speed again, to give us more momentum if we should need to come down again quickly. Then up we go. Auftauchen! I really can’t imagine playing SH3 any other way than with German voices and (if the control interface is turned off) English subtitles. I really cringed when I watched the animated intro for Silent Hunter 5, with the boat’s commander speaking in what sounded like an imitation of a very American accent – truly awful!!! But wither now? ...to be continued!
