It's not uncommon for music to stir up unexpected emotion. Perhaps WHICH music is doing it might be surprising (as in its origin or genre), but that's not a real barrier.

The thing to remember is her series isn't a fixed "for this age". Instead, the series was uniquely set up so that each book was geared towards the year the children are in school. So book 1 is geared for the 9-11 year old set, but by book 7 they're 16-18 so it's more adult.

The films are the same way, with all traces of innocence gone by film 4.

What is 9 x 6?

It's been 7 hours and 16 days...

Old school reference for those of you who remember the bald belter from Belfast.

In that case I've no idea other than perhaps faulty campaign logic relocating several other bases to yours.

I think alcohol tastes horrible, I can't understand how anyone can bear to drink it. I get the appeal of some of the effects, but I'm not going to drink horse urine or eat dog crap to get those feelings either.

The A-50 is Russia's version. Other countries have taken the 76 and made their own conversions which have nothing to do with Beriev and are therefore not A-50s.

Sort of like Israel's 707 AWACS isn't an E-3 because it uses Phalcon radar and not the rotodome on top.

If you're getting close, switch to dogfight mode and use one of the auto aquisition modes like boresight to lock him up, especially if you can already padlock him. It's not ideal, but it gives you something.

Are the bases those planes were at before now overrun by the enemy? If you're getting pushed off the peninsula it would make sense that there would be fewer bases for the planes.

Am I the only one who had no clue who this guy was?

I was thinking more that a certain part of the hind anatomy of a man may reincarnate into a full human...

It's my first as a father of 2 (she's only 2 months) and also the first where my oldest can actually make things for me so it was a very special day for me.

Just because they're not used in combat anymore doesn't mean they don't make good FSTs to use against SAM radars, AA radars, missile seekers, etc. We don't have really any stealthy drones available for that, nor a spare F-22, B-2, or F-35 lying around.

All you need is to keep the thing flying and stealthy (no need for other mission equipment to work) and you've got a great tool. Since the plane was a hybrid of existing plane parts, like Hornet engines minus AB's, I can't imagine it's that pricey to fly other than maintaining the stealth coating (the 117's Achilles heel).

Internet access needed for career and MP, not for quick or single missions. Not sure about the campaigns.

I tried AA several times over the years but could never get into it.

What's wrong with the tennis visor look?

But that won't give a retiree access to the BX or the gym or library!

I also just picked up a 570, but I've not had the time to try A-10C yet. A bit of SF2, Il-2, a lot of RoF, and my racing sims, but I've not tried A-10 since the new patch.

What? Don't go in for Services?!? Don't you mean "Force Support"? :)

Besides, what can be better than making people ID cards?!?

She sounds like the chick from Chasing Amy and other Kevin Smith flicks. Ugh.

It is funny though that they spend all this money on troops and machines and then fail to buy enough munitions to fight more than a few weeks. Eternal optimism?

Doing B-17 bomber intercepts in 262s at 10k was ridiculous, you had to go high. In fact, most of the late war planes were made for that. Also, if you were in a 51 you did better high, that bird wasn't made for sea level scraps. Of course, none of those planes were in the original design document, unfortunately, so the game just never was right up there.

I didn't know the 44 had contrarotating props like the Bear.

You mean the Aces Expansion Pack for Il-2:FB?

Yeah, high alt flight was very disappointing in Il-2, it was always better to stay under 10k ft or risk noticing the Earth has the diameter of the Moon.

Oh, is that all? I thought this was supposed to be some sort of "big" update!
