The Yamato had a similar system and used it, but not for a very long time -

Mue, that's fantastic You would so much help the community with it -
Yes, this is fairly wall known, that some unit training is "bad" Same for fighter pilots, though some of them are good, some of them seem to take this as a sunday activity

On Januray first 1945, the Luftwaffe attacked allied airfields, operation Boldenplatte : It was a costly failure which hastened the elimination of the Luftwaffe On June 5th 1967, The israeli air force destroyed on the ground the Arabian Forces during operation Moked, one of the most successfull operation of the air war history. I wish the fat Goering had seen this : the jewish succeeding where the "superior german race" failed miserably !

Yes, you are right, he committed suicide to avoid death -

Actually, the comparison between Bodenplatte and Motke is quite interesting : The objective in both case was to make a surpise attack to gain air superiority and compensate numerical inferiority. Edit : at the start of Bararossa, the german had numerical superiority The limit in both cases was that they destroyed planes but did not kill the pilots. This was a strategical mistake for the German, as they exchanged what they did not have (pilots) against what the allied had in high number (planes). For the Israeli this would be problematic for the attrition war and then the Yom Kippour war (though they finally gained the upper hand) and remember that they lost 10% of their pilots. Also, a close examination of the air combats during the 6 days war demonstrate that the arab pilots who could fly (Jordanian obviously, but also some Egyptian pilots) were not "sitting ducks" and the real air combat ration was between 2 to 4 for 1 in favour of Israel. A good ratio, but given the initial arab numerical advantage of 3 to 1, winning Air superiority in the Air would have been far more touchy without the successfull airfield strikes. Of course, Moked was brillantly executed and was rated as critcal to the 6 days war Israeli victory, while Boldenplatte was a failure if only because the battle of the Bulge was over. On the other hand the comparison between Barbarossa and Moked is less telling, as it is likely that even if the air strikes had not been a success, the German would certainly have won the initial part of the Russian Campaign anyway (a possible comparison would be the campaign of France : it took 2 weeks for the Luftwaffe to destroy the french Air Force, but 3 days to the Wermacht to defeat the french army) And most of all, it is more funny to compare Moked to Boldenplatte :) -

Indeed, former nazis were in Egypt at this time and could see this. -
Six Day War, weapons really used

Hello Did someone work on the Runway Piercing bomb ? Would be fun ! -
Hello I have noticed that in most artillery positions, artillery is composed of "T34". I replaced it with D20 155 mm russian guns, looked ok for the moment Do you see any potential porblem / modification ? Do you know some ways to increase probability to have them as targets during the war for the water or attrition war cmapaigns ? Thank you in advance

Blender for Dummies?

Mue, the lodviewer developper may have the right knowledge -
That was made me cautious about the early TFM. I have a DBW, a SCW and and a HSFX install, no more than 50 GO cumlulated and working very well I am not sure I will install CUP before it is more "robust"

I will try to "strecth it" a little and check how it is Note : I also created a template for the dams building during the "war for the water" -
Guns in artillery positions on Israel maps
jeanba replied to jeanba's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mission & Campaign Building Discussion
It's a good start wrench, but from the pictures I saw, the Bar Lev forts were more "stretched" with long side parallel to the canal than a "circle". Those were mainly bunkers connected with trenches http://www.magnumphotos.com/C.aspx?VP3=SearchResult&ALID=2K1HRGWQXAH9 -

Thank you I already replaced some T34 with D20 in the arty position (files available upon request) I also tried Bar Lev line, but I am not very experienced and it takes a long time But aftyer all, I must start somewhere (and it's often close to 0 :) ) -
TFM (CUP predecessor) had a lot of optimisation porblems, is it still the case ?
