Holy sh..oulders

About this war, there were several lessons learnt about modern naval air warfare, however, some people considered that it was inconclusive given that this was a "low-intensity" engagement wich given the relatively lean amount of resources expent wouldn´t highlight what may have happened in the same kind of environment, with more power in the area. It was even compared to the Footbal War of 1969 (Corsairs Vs Mustangs weren´t representative of air war in the 60s) That´s why some time ago i proposed something to the Argentine members about increasing the air power of both sides in the Campaign with changes credible, wich woudn´t have changed the course of history too much. What i propose is, for a war in 1984: Argentine: All Mirage derivatives replaced by Mirage III NG (Kfir style Canards, Mirage F1 powerplant and weapons systems, fine choice) All SkyHawks in the A-4M configuration (the Argentines, as members said, were about to get some) Super Etendard squadron fully operative Argentine Navy deployed beside the islands British: Conventional Carrier Task Force, usual air wing for the Royal Navy, including the use of F-4S (I´m not sure about who told me, perhaps Spinners, that F-4M was far from perfect. Given the use of second handed F-4Js post-war, i think it might have been interesting) What do you think about this?

He shouldn´t be out alone with the british out there. That´s what Lieutenant Chamorro, Argentine Navy, was hearing once and again. But that got to be in his head, there is radio silence with the combat group,and he was alone, far beyond alone, aboard his Crusader, within the 200 miles off Malvinas. South Atlantic was not blue, but a sad mix of grey and white. Flying at 5000 feet, the best he could say about weather was that at least he could see the deck. Suddenly, his eyes locked instinctively into something moving faster than waves down there, 2 o´clock and moving below him on to the carrier and his escorts, 80 miles away,on transonic. He pulled the stick to dive, and within seconds, he was following the target, wich he identified as british Buccaneer, one mile and a half away. It was coming in fast, so to stay after him, Chamorro lits the burner. He wouldn´t be able to use the Matra R.530s as two days ago -when he got a probable victory on a Vulcan wich seeked for the ARA 25 de Mayo- because the target was below 100 ft above the waves. He felt how the Crusader boomed the Mach, as he selected one of his two Matra 550 infrared missiles. He didnt wan´t to fly as low as the Buccaneer, so he stood at 500ft. The aircraft was taking punishment for flying such fast such low,but this one had to be stopped. Finally, the missile growls as he locked on to the british, now half a mile away. Chamorro pulled the trigger and the port Magic boosted forward. The missile seemed to track the target, but when expected to see the detonation, the Matra dropped into the water in front of the Buccaneer. The Buc did nothing. Perhaps the pilot was not aware of what happened. Or perhaps he thought that his best survival chance was to stay as fast, reach their target, and get back. Mean cabron. Perhaps he realized that he was lost and wanted to take some Argies out. Really mean cabron. Chamorro pulled the trigger again when his starboard missile growled for the Buccaneer. The missile flew below the British. Near miss. Then the warhead detonated then in front of the attacker. The Buccaneer lost stability, and the pilot pulled up to prevent crashing. As he climbed, Chamorro got closer, picked the cannons. He couldnt fail. He couldn´t afford to. The british came into his gunsight. Pulled the trigger for two seconds, he could see detonations of his explosive bullets at the port engine and wing. The wing blew off, and the remainder of the aircraft went down and crashed into the Atlantic.He felt some bump on his heart as he saw no parachutes. Anyway, they wouldn´t have lasted too long down there. Better to die this way. Back to the ship

Some kind of compromised fella. First, i gotta say that Platoon was IMHO, the worst Vietnam film in the era. When the folk went out there with those compromised, Left-wannabe guys, there is nothing to complain, everybody does. Then he travels to Cuba and licks Castro´s balls. Respect, i think. Lot of freaks, he hurts nobody, or so i hope. Then he updated. The new anti-imperialist emperor is Hugo Chavez. Around two years ago, Chavez was in a meeting among leaders from latin america with the former metropoli, Spain and Portugal. In the turn of speech of Spain, he started to talk rubbish, while our prime-minister diplomatically tried to stand things down and Hugo spoked louder, our King summarized what everyone was thinking "Why don´t you shut up?". Diplomatic crisis, more rubbish out of the guy, opposition in Venezuela take the phrase as symbol, things stand down, Chavez stays oppresing. Recently Mr.Stone declares about the incident "Spain should apologize to Hugo Chavez" So if anyone can tell Oliver Stone, my ass is in Cartagena, Spain, ready to be kissed

I´m also on the left, i´m in favour of public healthcare and same-sex marriage, but as i tried to explain above, that has nothing to do with ideology, it´s just a matter of entering political issues wich affect seriously the life of people with such frivolity. He could have stated the same supporting Nazis if it was the oportune mix of politically correct & controversial. Yes, it does, but compared with Apocalypse Now or Full Metal Jacket, C Company Boys... perhaps it a great film, but there are many better, thought not as realistic.

It´s quite interesting. I could just see the first vid. For what i know, there were several chances to ensure a victory for Argentina, such as the near sinking of the HMS Conqueror by the escorts of ARA Gral Belgrano, or another sub action in wich an Argentinian about to attack had a malfunction flooding tubes, and so on. However, the idea wich i meant to spread assumed changes in a wide beam of variables. The british CTOL carrier, or a better built Argentine Air Force. This will be useful, but i´m afraid that if we take those changes, many of the premises of the documentary will change. So may be told about allenjb42´s input, so we will have to adapt it to the new power balance wich we may finally decide to include. But the fact is that there is something to take out of all those studies wich we should have in mind in the event of making an über-Falklands War campaign. Just imagine, in 1984, the attack plan for 10 May 1982, changing Harriers for Phantoms,Daggers for Mirage III NG, et cetera

One else to worry about. It was ashaming on the Confederations Cup

The yanks wont come?

Uhu, i knew you were on my side of the street

Por cierto, miren lo que ven nuestros paracaidistas en una mision de pazzz en Afganistan http://www.youtube.c...feature=related http://www.youtube.c...dInW5RFQ0o&NR=1

Excelente. Con Argentina fuera, solo nos pueden derrotar los Brasileños, Ingleses, Estadounidenses, mecagoentodo Mejor. Asi quedamos como los eternos campeones de la Eurocopa

Ideology is not the matter. It is just fashion. If green is on fashion, wear green. If commie is on fashion, wear commie.

They didn´t get pissed with the subs, but with the time it took to build them. A trouble about funding and bureaucracy, the shipyard slowed down the building as funds were "compromised"

Good news

For the RN, a complement on 16 Phantoms and 16 Buccaneer for the CTOL carrier would be fine? I would like to have more, although it fits for the TW campaign And... Perhaps a french style carrier wing for the ARA "25 de Mayo"? would it have been able to operate Crusaders? Someone did a skin

Thanks, i will remember that

I saw the bone at c5´s, but only to sf2. Is there anything available for the older series? If not, is there any way i could fix it? I remember something about different formats on th 3d stuff, but i would like to hear someone who knew better about it

Sorry, man. Will correct

Thanks a lot, will do it right now

Just Mod something, i guess

Oops, i just voodoo called a hard-drive meltdown as last resource. Believe me, i understand how frustrating is to have the PC out of service. This must be addictive

How to, exactly? Radar Love is not my speciality, exactly

Those will be built in two parts: stern half will be made in my city. For what I can tell, it takes time to build, but those subs are coOol, silent and reliable. Hopefully, our 80 class sub, something like those, bigger, tomahawk capable and with a Loockheed Martin combat system, will be better... but perhaps will take even more time About the Rafale, we should wait to confirm, but might be good news,perhaps you can even operate them from the carrier
