"Hmm I was wondering why the Russians wouldnt think to destroy the Polish missile bases first - then launch their ICBMs if they had to go that way " because unless they were shooting at western Europe, the Russian missiles would go nowhere near Poland.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! ah well. It has been entertaining.

what a surprise..........!

damn, that's big!!! (she said breathlessly.....) pretty nice set of models. I'll try the betas' out over the weekend. Nice work!

rather beastly....... How about a Backfire?!!! is there any table that equates the Russian designations with the NATO ones? I think that is what we call an AS-6 up there but not sure. Might be an AS-4. if so, I don't think the Bear carried either one. But maybe a grunch or AS-15's!!! (good for current Bering Straight action!) ---------- edit - ah an AS-3! http://personal.inet.fi/cool/foxfour/sovmis/sovmis-as.html nice table with cross references. Very helpful. YES, we need the Beastly Bear for the Kangaroo!!

awesome!!!! for a sound within the aircraft - a nice "thump" when it hits the plane and then all the lights, radios, instruments go dark................ had that in the E-4B.

I've generally used 2 seconds as a generic for all types. If you are flying a particular aircraft then yes, you absolutely need to make sure you are at the right end speed. even these guys sink a little...... http://br.youtube.com/watch?v=EZRMpxUniOw http://br.youtube.com/watch?v=BrtRcnrnPK8 and of course the return trip http://br.youtube.com/watch?v=cqLXmZSa8FI&...feature=related

not very, and pretty quickly shoot for about seven or eight shots.

mirved........

seems I was correct! http://www.space-travel.com/reports/Irania...ficial_999.html evidently the Iranian SLV was really an anti-Iranian SRBM.......

I'm with Longestpants!!

sounds like he's having fun! reminds me of when I was on the USS Midway - which we determined was named not for the battle, but because we were always "midway" between ports.......... noticed that there is no planning map as in other terrains. This seems to prevent the scripted mission from coming up and prevents me from trying to build another. Might that also be part of this problem? also noted that if I start airborne, its all OK, super fine.

well....................... I suspect that the IRBM booster heritage is pretty clear, as is the likely suborbital performance of the vehicle along the NK model...... the only people at risk might be the Iranians beneath the launch vector.....

yep. I played with the field length but no change. I also went into the midway.ini and tried some other airfield ini files which has the exact same result. The planes all show up on the runway, then during the runway roll they suddenly fall through the runway on a "journey to the center of the earth" profile and explode. no clue. Only this one terrain. The scripted mission does not show up either. Haven't tried building one yet. I'll try that and see if the carriers work. The terrain works great if I start in the air. no one else has had any similar result? wierd........

I second that!! These terrains are outstanding!

everyone I've tried so far. F4F, TBF, B25, Zero, Kate, P40 and even an A4 when I put the terrain into a different load. I've tried all three cat files (don't have desert) with same results.

Congratulations and best of luck in the years of study ahead!

huh? I'm referring to my old adversaries in the former and future Soviet Empire.

propaganda. And an unbelievable fiction that unarmed engineers traveled by truck and negotiated the surrender of the port, evacuation of the facilities and ships, and then calmly destroyed them. again, don't think you are fooling everyone. Some of us understand very clearly what is going on there.

I believe so

yes. I know precisely what kinds of ships were in the Georgian inventory and what they were armed with.

your points are well taken, but don't forget that the F14D had laser guided before that. JDAM is not/was not the only PGM in town. But certainly a fictional stretch to say that any one of those aircraft, using essentially the same weapons and guidance packages, could do any differently. Having said that - a pointless argument. Those were all great planes in their own right for their own missions and outstanding airframes for a variety of missions. All legends.

oh, I understand the military issue in destroying potential threats to your operations. I do not, however, fall for the fiction that such activities carried out within the territorial borders of an independent, sovereign country was conducted peacefully and did/does not constitute an invasion/occupation. Senaki is, at least according to my charts, well within Georgian territory and those ships (which were manned) in the port of Poti certainly posed no threat to Russian ground and air forces operating within Georgian territory and were absolutely no threat to the 14 ship flotilla of combattants that you are currently using to blockade the Georgian coast line. In other words, don't pretend that you are fooling anyone with that propaganda line my Russian Friend and Potential-Future-Opponent (again).
