  1. I'm still getting over being sick, myself. That is to say I've had this cough and head congestion for 2 weeks now!

     

    As for blues, I always feel it because I'm low man on the ladder and can never take the holidays off since everyone else does!

  2. LOL, I ran out of things that I thought of years ago, and we've only been together 12 years! It took less than 10 for my ideas run dry!

    So yeah, I just get her what she asks for pretty much.

     

    As for how they know, most likely you weren't careful! A receipt, an email about it, overheard talk, etc etc etc.

  3. While a machine gun fires hundreds of rounds a minute, the Vulcan fires THOUSANDS.

     

    Oddly enough, it's hard to get people to use the "right" sound for movies or TV because of the perception that it sounds "wrong." There was footage posted online from a Dutch news site about their troops in Afghanistan looking for Taliban. At a couple of points in the video an A-10 flies overhead firing its gun at targets a mile or 2 away. The sound is like nothing else...kind of like a dragon belching. :wink: It echoed up and down the valley they were in. It was far louder than the engines of the A-10 itself.

  4. Timing acc? Is there a time accelerator? I'll have to check it out. Also when you are out of missiles and guns how does one continue a campaign? Or does that mean it's pretty much over?

    Also what if I get to all the waypoints early. Can I land earlier or in order to complete the mission 100% do I need to wait til it's 5:59 or whatever to land?

     

    It depends on the mission. Some like escort or CAP have time requirements such as 15 mins on station or escort until back in friendly territory or whatever. The "blow it up" missions generally don't have those and you can land when you want.

    When you say "out of guns", do you mean your plane is out, or do you mean you've run your campaign supplies out of weapons? If the former, you can land and rearm if you need to to complete the mission. If you mean the latter, I guess you're done!

  5. Eagles will be fine, we just need money. Personally, I always thought an Eagle with a v3 radar was preferable to F-22, but I may be a bit biased in that regard

     

     

    Well, it depends what you want it to do. There's no question it will have superior range/detectability thanks to the larger array/power/sensitivity, so for detecting stealthy cruise missiles and similar missions it would be better.

    However, in a dogfight I'd take a 22, and I'd also prefer one if I was flying over enemy ADA. :wink:

  6. Am I the only one that thought this was going to be about a kidney stone? :wink:

     

    I know people that get out all the time, well before their 20, for the same reason as you--too hard to have both parents on active duty. In one case it was obvious, as he was enlisted but she's an officer. Besides, he's making 2x more now in the private sector than as a MSGT. Don't sweat it.
