  1. Carrier Life

    I got these from Charles and forgot to post them. It is when he stopped in Singapore.
  2. Yep that is why I am not jumping through hoops to get all my stuff working. You all should wait or you are going to be doing alot of work for nothing.
  3. Oh we know, our safety guy is a former F-15 pilot. He said "not bad for a video game" I was speaking about how they just pounce on everything from BVR and wipe the skies clean.
  4. +2 for release order. SF2/SF2:V/SF2:E/SF2:I

  7. Topgun song

    I like that song better Silverbolt.
  8. Some moron will seed to a torrent anyway, even though I said in the readme not to. What can you do? For those of you who do not have a subscription to CA, why not pay for a month one for a few bucks ($6.95) and get all the downloads you can get. You get the downloads, and we get a little cash to pay for bandwidth. http://forum.combata...p=subscriptions
  9. Greatest Air Raids

    That was just stupidity. I give them morons no credit for anything. "Hey guys, I got an idea, we will fly our planes with our pilots into ships. What do you think?" "Are you going to do it?" "Hell no. I am needed to keep from losing the war."
  10. Greatest Air Raids

    The Doolittle Raid does rank up there but with the Operation Tidal Wave, crews pressed the attack when more things went wrong than right. The Doolittles Raid biggest glitch was they were spotted early so they had to leave early, thus creating problems down the road. The morale to the US public was overwhelming for as little damage they did. The amount of problems the Polesti crews ran into should of scrubbed the mission altogether. But somehow they made it work. 1. Lead navigation plane crashed into the ocean 2. 10 crews aborted mission 3. One squadron commander went the wrong way (which had the lead nav plane not crashed wouldn't of happened) 4. Train flak traps and airborne fighters ready to intercept 5. Strict radio silence made coordination a nightmare. 6. Axis forces knew they were coming With all that and more, they said to hell with it and attacked anyway. The Polesti Raid only took the lives of 310 crewman, with over 100 captured. 177 planes took off, only 88 made it back and well over 50% of these were battle damaged beyond repair. That price paid for only 40% of the oil refining capacity to be diminished for about a month, after repairs, it actually picked up a production increase. So far this raid still ranks amongst the biggest successful failures. Why I say a failure? The facilities were not knocked out of action for the war. Which was the goal.
  11. DAMN those Eagles are bad ass. They are just sweeping the skies of Russian/WP aircraft. I am flying in an AV-8B unit and I have yet to worry about any Migs. Just about every unit I have seen that is flying the F-15 now has a pilot with at least 2 kills. I watched after I left a target area an entire family of Mig-23's and 4 Su-27's, 12 planes in all just get wiped cleaned from the air. None of then even got a missile off. Makes you wonder what it might of been really like. Just dominating. Having said that, SAM's and AAA are my biggest problem. I am flying at tree top level in and attacking in a pop up. Well as soon as I pop up, dear god the sky looks like a Christmas with too many blinking lights. Needless to say I don't stay popped up for very long.
  12. Greatest Air Raids

    Not greatest in how well it went, greatest is how big of balls you had to have to even do it. You are misunderstanding what I am trying to convey. Those missions were good but the pucker factory was not there in the extreme like it was at Polesti. (Which produced 5 Medals of Honor, 3 of which were posthumously) Fly a Mirage in a sneak attack.......or fly low level in a B-24 with 4000 anti aircraft guns that know you are coming? Which one would you crap your pants more?
  13. To be honest I do not know. I have always ran it with the 4 seasons. I think the capmaign dictates what season to use on what date. So my guess if it cant find the right season, it might crash.
  14. Well to give credit where credit is due. C5 is the genious behind it all. All I did finish what he started. To even make that possible I had a hell of a great team to help.
  15. How many new planes has everyone found? How is the install? Any problems?
  16. Never heard of that problem before. That is weird.
