One thing I find funny is that I said the same thing when I was a TI about the youngers troops, and years prior to that when I was a new troop, my TI said the same about us. When my father was a TI he said (back in the 70's) that the troops were too soft, then he in turn he said when he was in basic in the 60's, his TI's thought they were too soft. The attitude is the same, just the time has changed. Basic training is what it is, they aren't going to make combat ready soldiers, its the first line units like Jamie said that is getting it done where they need it. People need to remember that basic trainings entire purpose is to teach the new recruits the ability to pay attention to detail, (GI parties and the like) work as a team (through drill and ceremonies) and follow instructions. That lays the foundation for the line units to build upon. In reality has basic gotten softer? No, it hasnt, the intensity has changed, yes, but the outcome is the same. If anyone actually doubts that, look at what our men and women are doing everyday overseas. That is proof enough.

Speaking of Helo's in SF2

I kind of gave up on them. They work good from an airborne start and fly well but dont count on them for ground objects etc. The FM requires a major rewrite. -

I removed my remark because it was very insensitive. People died because of one persons stupidity. -

latest on merged installs
Dave replied to luckyluca's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I will ask swambast about releasing that aircraft mover to the public. It can remember favorite aircraft sets, it can also move out weapons. Its just a great tool and its awesome he did that for me. I am sure he wouldnt mind sharing it but I need to ask him first. In fact it will can actually get rid of the need to say a 1950's only install when you can move planes sets in and out and accomplish the same thing.
