  1. This site isn't a hangout for F4 modders, so we don't have one. Should they start hanging out here, that could change, but none of the staff are really big F4 experts and there's nothing much we could put in ourselves.
  2. CFS2 = Pacific theater, Japanese, US, carriers CFS3 = Euro theater, US, UK, Germany, NO carriers
  3. Hard to say because it depends on how many you buy at a time. Cheaper in bulk and all that. However, a year or two ago the USAF placed an order with LockMart for a single F-22 as a replacement for a testing article that I guess will not enter service. That contract was just over $141 million. So, you can figure that's the "unit" price of an F-22, discounting all the money spent on R&D, testing, maintenance, etc that some people like to lump in with the cost of procurement and divide by total units built to indicate "cost."
  4. Sometimes a coincidence is just a coincidence.
  5. What would they need that many nuclear capable bombers for? The US doesn't even have 100.
  6. I could be wrong, but I don't believe any A-7 got an AA kill, ever.
  7. Russia is an exporter of oil, so they have more than they need, literally. My favorite Smirnoff quote: "In Russia we have a saying. Women are like buses. That's it, women are like buses."
  8. Oil prices go up also because the falling dollar leads investors to put their money in things that will likely NOT depreciate. Oil is one, gold is another. They can't. None of their cars use km, so you might as well tell them you get 4 billion kilojoules/parsec for all they'll care! Of course, diesel prices have gone up more than gas, so a TDI car getting better mileage might not be any cheaper to drive per mile.
  9. I don't like it when the boat stops. My idea of fishing is to bring the food and drinks but keep driving the boat all over the place at high speed!
  10. I don't know if those equations balance. Does that mean trouble minus alcohol gives you Facebook??
  11. Really? How about this one then? Race to Witch Mountain - 2009 Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson Carla Gugino Cheech Marin cameos by 40-somethings original kids Ike Eisenman and Kim Richards
  12. The only issue I could see them having with this is as of yet the Typhoon has the least mature air-to-ground capability of all the fighters. Well, check that, I'm not so certain about the Rafale's AG capabilities right now. They might be a bit further along, but I don't think it's VERY far ahead. Gripen, Viper, and SuperBug have all been around quite awhile, in service, and had more attention on the AG side...I guess the SuperBug really doesn't have that much more time in service, but I know it's AG stuff has been done more rigorously as it's half the USN's fleet now. Rafale and Tyhpoon were both bought to be air to air first, with the air to ground coming later.
  13. Nope, I just don't get it! Maybe I'm one of the few who realizes my life is NOT that interesting, and I can't imagine other people being interested enough in it to warrant all that stuff! Not to say these other people's lives are interesting, just that they do NOT realize they're not.
  14. The F-5A-D were the Tigershark. F-5E/F was the Tigershark II.
  15. No, never heard of that one. Did you check your control settings after the patch? Was the rudder still centered?
  16. The truth is US foreign policy rarely makes any sense at all. We back or embargo based on the flimsiest of reasons, mostly so Congress can express their "outrage" when a country does something that they feel they shouldn't be doing. It's all so stupid.
  17. The line between the 2 is blurring lately.
  18. Well, you'll always have that headrest in the way anyway!
  19. Never used it. Or Myspace. Ever. Have zero interest in using or visiting, and somehow that makes me unusual??
  20. Wait, you left?
  21. 3x a B-52? Just how many airfields would this thing be able to fly out of? Does the .ini say "uber-large airfield"?
  22. Since it has the same front as an F-5, why not Tigershark III?
  23. These are the guys that did SW: Battlefront 1/2 I believe, right?
  24. JediMaster

    One More Shift

    Always a bit scary, making a big change in your life like that, but no choice that lets you be with your family is a bad one.
  25. The first-gen jets had very little to do with Korea period. Not until the MiG-15 and later F-86 did jets make an impact. It was the first jet war, but it was also the last prop war.
