Wouldn´t it be technically a command guided missile?

24.5 times as of Wikipedia. All USAF Phantoms combined got 15.5 gun kills. (that half kill each possibly shared between an F-105 and an F-4D) Don´t know of any USN phantom gun kill, it seems unlikely. There were 2 Skyraider gun kills, plus 1, possibly 2 Super Sabre kills, and one Crusader gun kill. B-52s got two further tail-gun kills. Unless i miss something, this means 24.5 for the Thud, and 22.5 kills for all other types combined. IIRC, it was the Thud´s gun exploits wich prompted the use of gunpods and the installation of the Vulcan in F-4Es, and subsequently, all USAF fighters up to the Raptor.

If she was under her in the chain of command, i´m sorry buddy, but you have to suck it up. No pun intended.

Maybe i´m more used to the Phantom, because i prefer it for carrier landing and combat, control wise, to the Tomcat. Just get used to it. About the F-14, it is indeed harder, despite the advanced HUD, but i would still rate it as harder to land than the F-4. That´s the same case as with A-7s and A-4s. However, the hardest aircraft to put on deck, without any doubt, be it a Kitty or an Essex, is the F-8. About wingmen missing the ship, i have an stock game, and i,ve seen many phantoms wich fail to catch the wire and keep rolling off the deck. And some of those weren´t even me, but AI planes.

I know, the stock only campaign is a way to see how to do all the INI works so it runs as desired. Of course, it would be updated with 3rd party stuff once the INIs and historical info are fixed properly.

I have a video of an Spanish F-4C pilot talking about them, having experienced several. According to him, a last resort was to open the tail chute, being ordered to bail out when below 10k feet, an order usually overlooked if the crew was confident in recovery. Wish i had it with English subs.

I will do Spanish for free

So far, i haven´t been able to work it out due to time. I would like to make it in such a way that it would use only TW made stuff BUT serving as an easily moddable template for user edited campaigns. I would need to learn how to make it so Israeli activities are decreased, ground war is fought between UNIFIL and a red side, and having battlegroup based operations, I.E, a CVBG for each carrier, a surface, fire support group, an amphibious group, while representing carriers and air wings rotating. I wouldn´t care to shamelessly use stand-ins to keep it stock only, as it is intended to be just a template in its "Phase 1" EDIT: For somebody better at English than me...if "To Boldy Go" is gramatically OK, "To Shamelessly use" is correct? I´m not sure

Epic

The Royal Guard is an interservices unit wich garrisons the royal palaces, provides escort and security, deploys overseas as an elite security force and serves as a representative and honor guard unit of the armed forces as a whole. It includes, besides different service details, three companies, (Marines, Army and Air Force Security) It is the only unit of the armed forces with the "Royal" branding. In fact, opposite to many other countries, despite Spain being a Kingdom, we tend to avoid using "Royal" out of looking British-like. (A healthy traditional rivalry is not bad)

Now that would have made things easier here...

F-15Cs are kind off obsolescent by modern standards. Sure, they can still kick ass, but with budget troubles, it is not worth to keep a second line fighter (wich it is since the Raptors toke over) wich cannot be used for mud pounding, when not even the Raptors have found use yet. Yes, i agree that it may be hindsight to some extents, but i don´t think they are worth the spending in the current economic and military situation. Other aircraft can cover the gap and still be more useful. About the A-10, despite all the drones and PGMs, i think it is quite worth keeping. You might say that the same reasoning above applies, but right now, the mission they perform is more critical than that performed by the F-15Cs. You can attach AMRAAMs to an F-16, or make do with few Raptors, but you can´t find something that covers the role of the A-10 as it is needed

I´M FUCKING THRU!!! Passed all the tests with highest qualifications, going to be a Royal Guard Airman!!!!

Bare MystereIV next?

Not willing to get this to the topic of gun legislation, but this comes to prove that it is not a matter of harder gun laws, but to enforce those you have already. The guy should have never been able to get the guns, let alone a job and clearance to the facility. A paperwork mess or maybe even a legal loophole may have been the difference wich could have prevented this from happening. Not that anything will bring back the people being mourned today. All that is left is to hope for the wounded to recover and the families of those killed to get over their losses the best way they can.

Why not? This shit happens every once in a while. Even if it is not the classic spree shooting (wich it seems to be) there is no place safe from violence to erupt, and innocents wich couldn´t imagine this happening to them not coming home ever again. Hope they nail all of them soon.

In fact, they were originally G airframes, adapted for taking the new engines. Pilots said it was a beast.

There were some tuned like that for Patton. On the other hand, for Iron Eagle 3 they had a non-bubbletop P-51 posing as a Me-109

It would be great. Somebody was working on one years ago, but i haven´t seen the author for years

Messers with RR Merlins...it was an stop gap measure, but they performed well in combat and looked awesome in flicks.

Alright, it seems i got full-retard this evening. I performed a multi-stage fitness test, wich consists on doing 20 meter runs in the time it takes for a record to beep, getting faster as minutes go by. I had to make a minimun of 6.5 minutes. Long story short: I was doing 32 meter runs instead of 20, so i got myself eliminated at the end of minute 4. Came home all depressed about not being fast enough until i found out. Now i´m depressed because i´m a dumbass.

Mech Whisperer?

I think there is not a particulat codename for that. Maybe the guy who put the names was on leave :D
