  1. Riding the lightning

    It had to be a Marine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Rankin
  2. It would be great if the ME had some feature to place SAM sites like "SA-6" and you get the proper radar, the launchers and the close range AAA in a simmilar way to naval fleets
  3. F/A 18H

    IRL, if it is affordable, it might work as a technology demonstrator for further Rhino upgrades. In game, much of its tech can´t be replicated properly.
  4. Online Degree in Homeland Security

    And your traffic records too, they got it right with the car insurance, but i got ads for general purpose flea repelent and i got no pets...oh wait...
  5. Man of Steel

    Went with my girlfriend to watch it. Frikking awesome. CGI and action look great, quite better than what you use to see today in film. I guess fans of the comics may find some issues, but all of that was for the shake of a great film.
  6. The Argentine A-4ARs have an APG-65 radar...dunno about the possibility of something like that on that era for Sparrows Either way, we should define first what it´s role would be. If we are meant to use the late SCB-125, we could use Crusaders (worn out but refurbished) or pushing it late, Hornets. Maybe, imported Super Etendards, but that would make it more than a SCS. Anyway, an Essex class is gonna be more than a SCS. Technically, with FLIR a snorkel could be plotted...it is more or less like a funnel, isn´t it?
  7. New Badges

    Tell that story about your border incident with the Abrams, it was great!
  8. Uploading Issue

    Be patient, apparently, the mess with the site was more severe than expected, and not cleared yet. I heard of some others wich couldn´t upload either.
  9. The Site Being Back Up

    What was wrong exactly? People hacking the site? Why?
  10. CombatAce addiction?

    My sister made a vid of me hanging upside down from the bathroom ceiling, screaming "TURN THE LIGHTS OFF, I´M BATMAN AND I NEED THE SLEEP" at the apogee of the abstinence syndrome, so we could call it addiction
  11. I know it is unlikely that TW is going to attend a lot of suggestions, either by some reasons or others, but i think we could set a list with a few tweaks wich could be done easily (many of them details fixable or fixed by the own users, but after all, it is their game, so it should be their concern), wich would help improve several features at a minimal cost for the company. I´ll start with a few things i found about: -For the F-4N Phantom DLC, edit the ini to provide dropping ailerons. I know JSF_Aggie already came up to a solution for it. -For the F-8K Crusader DLC, give it capability to use the four sidewinder rails. It has already been discussed, and while i can´t speak for certain, they had it. After all, the french saders have the option to do so and i don´t know if it was ever done. -For the SF2I Mirage IIICJ, loadout ini could be edited for them not to use sidewinders until after the 6 day war. While they could carry them since delivery, they didn´t use them, scoring almost all kills during and before 1967 with cannon fire. It may be a bit harder for the player, but it is more accurate. While the IDFAF kicked @$$ with Mirages IRL, having them carry AIM-9D that early seems a bit of overkill, besides inaccurate -Fix the landing gear issues with AI DLC aircraft, specially Su-9. I know F-4Ks had the nose gear to extend for carrier ops, but i think we could pass on that. Any other simmilar ideas, please share
  12. Another wildfire

    Just saw that on Spanish TV, scary...hope the recovery goes well, we have that kind of issues with forest fires too.
  13. With A-7s, i just dive as hard as i can and release when the fire control says. Still, about 50% hit rate is optimistic, but that´s the best i could manage to do. Not as much a trouble to drop in convenient flight parameters, as the bomb fall near target, often destroying it like iron bombs due to their large warhead, but the b*tch just won´t guide
  14. Take a look at the new Il-28 beagle skins, Flogger23 is the droid you are looking for Btw, don´t feed him past midnight
  15. Red Line means what?

    I don´t think Obama would keep happy his fanbase if he spoke out loud, and said the "Freedom Fighters" are a bunch of murderous scumbags. Any way, if only Nixon could go to China, only Obama could say "F the change, we like Syria the way it was". Anyways, he isn´t running for President a 3rd time, unless they repeal the 22nd amendment (maybe the 2nd too, if they get to it) it would be a nice detail to make the right thing instead of looking good. About the leadership, being a foreigner and not trying to be disrespectful to the US through your president, i built my opinion on Obama´s leadership with the issue of the harvard cop vs the black teacher. And either way, while respecting Mr.McCain, i don´t think either him or Romney would have performed better. You guys should get Typhoid to run for President
  16. Wew, i´ve been out of practice for a while, but this is madness. Or like a Farmer would say "This, Is, the AI pack" I got my hands on both packs, and set up a few missions just to try out: 2xJASDF F-4EJs vs 2x PLAAF J-6Cs. Got radar contact about 12 miles away, took one down with an Sparrow. Could see the second one, and as i didn´t have all aspect missiles, couldn´t shoot him when we merged. told my wingie to break, and I went the other way. The chinese farmer followed me, we got him in a sandwich, and my buddy shot him down with another Sparrow. While i was herding him for my dumb AI partner to get the shot, he followed me with no trouble. Besides eating an AIM-7. Btw, is it me or the damage graphics improved with May 2013 patch? His wing broke off beautifully. 2x RSAF Lightning F53s vs 2x RJAF F-104As. Picked each other on radar, went for a merge. WRONG they sawed my wingman with the M61. Alone, i forced my plane much, almost hit the ground while rolling too hard. With them pursuing and spraying their 20mm guns, i managed to get behind one for a Red Top shot on one of them. It launched fine, and seemed to be about to hit home, but the Jordanian zipper outrun it. Didn´t even turn hard, lock didn´t break, it just fell to the ground. Got a gun kill by luck, then 20mm sprayed all over my Lightning 2xIDFAF Kurnass vs 4xEAF MiG-19S (67). We spawned 2 miles away from each other. Did the "break for sandwich" thing again. It was me, the four migs buzzing behind me, and my wingman positioned for a shot in 3 miles of sky. He took one out, but i couldn´t outrun them much, and felt to a storm of Atolls. Should have thought of how close the chinese J-6 came to my tail last time i tried. 2xUSAF F-105D Strike, intercepted by 2x PVO Su-9s. Got them on my 6 while about 20+ miles away from target. Dropped tanks, flew low and fast, with Alkalis flying harmlessly by. When i was close enough to the evildamncommsbuilding, i pitched up, sure they had expended all missiles and rolled for a dive, only to hear "missile launch" near the apogee of the maneuver, at barely 300 knots. My pride flew away like my starboard wing. Those reds in the evildamncommsbuilding must have been laughing their asses badly. Pfew, went full retard for so long that AI seemed Skynet itself.
  17. New goofy story courtesy of AI (not that i don´t like it) A-4L, Vietnam , Strike on Kep airfield. Flying as low as i could just for fun, i overflew the airfield east of Hanoi on my way to target. I heard "It´s firing his guns!" while the subs appear in red. As i presss "r" to see where does the fire come from, (A BTR mounted autocannon) a deflagration iluminates my cockpit, so i assume "You got it, bragging dumbass". Then I see my plane intact, while the fuel depots of the airfield are on fire. They happened to be between me and the BTR, wich sprayed the tanks with 14.5 or 23mm shells.
  18. In fact, i´m more used to launch the Red Tops at bombers, but i remember they could keep up with Floggers in 1979´s Germany campaign. After their minimal distance, they flew pretty well, since i allway expected them to be more like AIM-4Ds.
  19. I was gonna say "burn" but i´m not willing to get into a mess between a minuteman man and a winged winged hussar
  20. Top Gun 2

    I still prefer the porn version. I mean, the non-gay porn version. Best film i´ve ever seen. Along, maybe, with "Blade Runner The Final Cut" and "The Expendables 2"
  21. 5,000,000

    Congrats and thanks a lot for all the effort
  22. Traitor?.. or Defender of Civil Liberties?

    I don´t see how this are really breaking news. I thought this kind of comms surveillance was assumed to happen early after 9-11, and never was really worried about it happening. On the other hand, this doesn´t leave much credit to lecture the chinese for their spying. Bitching about some other power spying on you seems a little ludicrous to me, anyway, since most probably you are doing the same as much as you can.
  23. Thanks, i´m aware of that and i have it, i just think it should be fixed by TW, after all, it is their bird, they are charging for it, it is relatively easy to fix, besides all those who don´t mess with editing or modding, i feel there are many of those if DLCs are really successful beyond the most supportive patrons.
  24. A couple of things to add to TW checklist for the next Patch regarding DLCs. -Add the dropping ailerons to the F-4N. Could be easily fixed with ini edits, by the customer, but that means that you could do so also. -For another Navy rebuilt fighter, give the F-8K the capability to carry 4 AAMs as contemporary Crusaders.
  25. F-14 shoots down F-4...

    Well, if those Red-on-Czech happened in 1968, maybe
