Goering should not have been executed
jeanba replied to jeanba's topic in Military and General Aviation
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
jeanba replied to FrankD's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
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?
jeanba replied to Nyghtfall's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
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"

Guns in artillery positions on Israel maps
jeanba replied to jeanba's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mission & Campaign Building Discussion
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 ?

Folland Gnat F.1 cockpit
jeanba replied to Stary's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
Very nice. I tested it on the Ajeet, but the plan eitself is highly unstable. Yes, Ordway did a good job, and I still fly in his Ouragan's cockpit -

3ds max 2012 plugin
jeanba replied to Del2i's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
There is a misunderstanding I wrote I would like to be able to open with blender or gmax. -
3ds max 2012 plugin
jeanba replied to Del2i's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Exactly, that's why I suggested Gmax, or blender ! -
3ds max 2012 plugin
jeanba replied to Del2i's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
In this case, a Gmax plugin would be more "universal" (as done by 1946 modders) -
Too hot for me, I hate global warming Back to the Ice age !

Padlock Incoming Missile?

AI use internal countermeasures but cannot use external ones -
As far as my experience goes and as far as I have been explained : you are not cold : Either you are warm, either you are dead And obviously, the suits were not bought on ebay from a dubious Chinese manufacturer.
