I dont feel insulted by Dave. In a discussion with different points of views it can become hard to hard. But this is not personally. I came from a system where only one opion was the correct one. And with my own mind of thinking i had had some troubles in the good (bad) old time. Thatswhy i like the freedom of discussion without to feel the fear in the neck that wrong ears could hear the wrong words. (Enemy is listening! or Stasi is listening! take whatever you want) If i criticise Daves position i must accept his critics on my position. And Vice Versa too. Thats fair enough. Thats is discussion. If someone likes only one mainstream talks, then he goes back to the cold war times. This is the contrapoint of freedom. This i had had long enough and i dont want this back. And if someone believe, that critics on the USA (Israel, Russia, Mongolia, Germany, take whatever you want) is the same like Anti-Americanism (Anti-Semitism, Anti-... äh, is there a word for against Russia??? ) then he should ask himself, wheter he is already out of the trenches of the Cold War. And now lets stop the Anti- somethink OT discussion and come back to the Raptor.

Yeah, this Kim something acts strange, like a small fearfull dog who bites everyone.

Looks very good this plane. But i'm waiting for a F-5E Tiger. This is my dream.

In my eyes Sum of all Fears was his best book. And Red Storm Rising was his most LOL book, only comparable with soviet WW" books where all sovier soldiers were smart heros while the germans were stupid cowards. Red Storm Rising was the same, but only with smart american heros and stupid soviet fools. Cold War stuff. Hunt for Red October, Cardinal in Kremlin, Without Remourse were great.

LOL. Welcome in the world of Cold War. I'm not on NKs side and will it never be. But my experience with soviet style weapons give me some knowledge which westerners sure not have, and cant have. And my experience says: never underestimate the opponent. Maybe, that i play the role of advokatus diavoli here. The task of an advokatus diavoli is to force the overconfident guys to rethink their positions. To find the mistakes in their ideas, so that they can make a better job. It is better to prepare for the worst case and fight easily, that to prepare for best case and pay with blood.

Version 8.5 ist angekündigt. Da gibt es einen ganzen neuen Baum mittlerer deutscher Panzer. Ich freu mich drauf. Der Leo1 ist dabei!

Okay, the name of the system is "passive radar". Here the link to wiki. http://en.wikipedia....i/Passive_radar Craig. if the NK shot down a F-16 or a F-18 it is not such a propaganda coup like downing a F-22. Who is remembering about the other shot down planes during Kosovo war? No one. But all remembering the shot down F-117. And why? Because it was said to be unvulnerable, because undetectable. And this proved wrong. And now it is repeated with the F-22. It is said to be unvulnerable, because undetectable. Do you want to repeat history, or do you want to learn from mistakes?

The best way to go into NK is to fly low. Look at the map. Mountains, mountains, mountains. There is no way to form a radarnetwork that will cover the land so that low flying intruders are detectable. But you can build up a radarnetwork for high altitudes. And there are technics to detect high flying stealth planes. The serbs got it in 1999. The NK could do the same in 2013. Especially if China would give some help. The technic is old. Already in WW2 it was used by the germans from 1943 to 44. They used the transmissions of the british radar network and put recievers at the french coast. Each single reciever was able to detect the bearing of incomming planes. With 3 recievers it was possible to triangulate the exact position of the planes. (If i remember correctly this system was called "Parasit" or something in this way. I will try to find it out.) During Kosovo War 1999 the serbs used a methode which was similar in basics. And they shot down a F-117. If the Chinese or Russians would flood the NK airspace with high energy radar tranmissions the NKs would only need recievers and a simple computer network to find and locate the weak stealth signals. The rest is simple mathematics.

Stealth meant not invicible. It only reduces the Radar reflecting area. But it can eliminate it. Some radar energy will always come back to the radar transmitter. The major problem is to detect this small amount of radar energy. With improved radar power and good computer power it is impossible to detect also Stealth planes. Of course from much smaller range than normal planes. Some guys believe the F-22 is an invincible siver bullit. Nobody and harm it, but it can kill all targets easily. And this wrong believe bears the danger of wrong use of this doubtless good plane. The idea of using JDAMs is such a stupid idea. It bears the risk of a sudden hit and run ambush of NK fighters. Out the ground clutter of the mountain rich terrain, climb in the back of the Raptors and firing some Archers. If the NKs shot down only one Raptor they have the propaganda coup they want to have. Its the same like the F-117 kill over Serbia in 1999. Shot down by outdated but smart used weapons, while the Americans used a smart weapon on stupid way. Its the danger to repeat this mistake. Thatswhy. Hold the Raptors in the back to defend Japan and the rest can do the Vipers, Eagles, Warthogs, Hornets and Tomahawks. No glamour, but efficency.

But the NK will not send out their fighters. They will fire a salvo of missiles and thousands of rounds of arti ammo over the border. How well the F-22 will deal with this? Totally fail. The A-10 in contrary could do a very well job. Even if NK would have the S-300PMU SAM it would be unable to defend the contry with it. Korea is mountanious. So a plane can easily hide from radar detection by low flying. F-22 makes a good job in improving the US pride. For Korea it fits like a WW2 battleship. No weapon of NK could really harm an Iowa class Battleship. So lets send it out to NKs shores to deliver a messenge. Dave. Red Flag is a nice thing. It proved, that the F-22 is not as superior as it is shown at Discovery Channel and Fox News. 2007 the french Mirage got it on the radar and shot it down in simulated Dogfight. 2011 the same thing with Eurofighter. As long as the american pilots are aware of the weaknesses of the F-22 and make the best of their strength, then they will surely win. But if they come in circumstances of WVR combat the technical superiority is not more given. Then .... it could end unhealthy. So the solution is to fight only from distance. If you can.

Yeah, was a funny movie. Very old, but very good.

Mal was zum lachen, was heute so passierte: und noch eins

Ich bin momentan nur mit dem Luchs unterwegs. Macht echt viel Freude. 100.000 Credits in einer Stunde sind kein Problem.

Normally spring means the first warm days, flowers, the first leaves on the trees. But not this year. Some impressions from spring in Germany 2013. Spring means: icy roads Spring means: snow on trees Spring means: snowy woods Spring means: snowfall Spring means: hungry birds 1 Spring means: hungry blackbird Spring means: seldom guests

Heute ist ein guter Tag zu Credits machen. Tier 3+4 Special. Doppeltes Einkommen. Habe gerade 11 Gefechte mit dem Luchs hinter mir. Über 200.000 Credits insgesamt. Maximum war 35.000 in einem Gefecht. Und das in gerade einmal 2 Stunden. Das könnte ruhig so weiter gehen.

"healthy military rivalry". Thats a good one!

Ich denke mal, daß das so gewollt ist. Zuerst füttert man die Spieler an. Alles geht leicht und billig. Ab Tier 5 wird es schwieriger und das Kosten Nutzen Verhältnis nimmt ab. Irgendwann kehrt es sich um und so mancher wird versucht sein seine Kreditkarte zu zücken um die Credits für ein neues Fahrzeug zusammen zu bekommen. 2.400.000 wollen erst einmal gespart sein und wenn man sich das für 20 oder 30 Eus auch kaufen kann.... Von irgendetwas wollen die Betreiber der Seite ja auch leben. Ich hatte beim JP4 für kurze Zeit die 88mm Kanone drauf. Hab sie aber wieder runtergeschmissen. Ladezeit ist zu lang und der Durchschlag zu gering. Ich habe nicht einen Abschuss mit dem Teil hinbekommen. Seit ich die 75mm wieder drauf habe läuft alles wie geschmiert. Bis zu 5 Abschüsse pro Spiel, mindestes jedoch einer. Also ich finde den JP4 Klasse.

Technically NK is in state of war with SK since 1950. 1953 it was only a ceasefire between NK and China of the one side and the USA lead UN expedition force. SK denied to sign the ceasefire. So both states are in state of war up today. Nothing has changed.

Nice Photos Kulbit Its called Eastern, but we have more snow than on X-Mas. And the weather forecast says, that we will have winter for the next two weeks. Where is the so called global warming when it is needed?! I have never seen before storks in snow.

It seems to be, that you does not has the GermanyCE.cat file Without this cat file you will not see the basic objects of the game. Open file sweden.ini with notepad editor look for line: CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat and replace it by CatFile=..\desert\desert.cat save the file and enjoy gaming

Your problem seems to be a mismatch between plane and weaponpack. To check it out you must open 2 files with notepad editor First file is MiG-29A_Data.ini. You find it in your MiG-29 folder in the aircrafts folder The other file is weapondata.ini which you find in the weapons folder Lets begin with weaponsdata.ini Press CTRL+F and look for AA-10 This should show you the entries for the Alamo missile Check wheter there is a line: SpecificStationCode=AA10 Then go to the MiG-29A_Data.ini and look for the same line. STRG+ F and SpecificStationCode=AA10 If you have in both files the same line then the AA-10 Alamo should be available in game. If there is a difference, then corrcet the line in the MiG-29A_data.ini. It must exactly the same like in the weaponsdata.ini. Give it a try.

Die ersten Spiele sind grausam mit dem Teil. Man muß sich daran gewöhnen, daß es so verdammt langsam ist. Wenn man aber die 105mm Kanone drauf hat, dann wird es ein echtes Spaßteil. Durchschlagskraft um die 165mm und 300 Punkte Schaden. Da bleibt kein Auge trocken. Sehr oft erledigt man einen Gegner mit einem einzigen Schuß. Beim T-49 gelingt das fast jedes mal. Das STUG habe ich auch schon mehrfach mit einem Schuß zerlegt. Und selbst schwergepanzerte Gegner (KV-1. KV-2, T1 HT, T-150, Tiger) sehen verdammt alt aus wenn die 105mm zuschlägt.

Good argument. But to be honst, how realistic would be a fireexchange with China? I doubt that it will happen, because the ecomonies of the big countries are so closely networked (hope that is the correct english term, perhaps connected or depending are better words). American debts are the rich of China. If China would attack America it would destroy its own debitor. If America would attack China it would harm its own interessetd because the Chinese would sell all US depts on the free market with the result, that the USA would be bankrupt into some days. And then the Chinese could say "Good bye" to their money. And this will not change in the next years. So the only real enemies the free world has to fear are gras root terrorists or failing states. For the medium timeframe i will agree with you. We dont know who will be friend or foe in 20 or 30 years and the good old latin proverb. "Civic pacem para bellum" is very true. But the technological world will have changed dramaticaly in this timeframe. The Raport is outdated then. And the successors will be the drones. Its not the future i wish, but i think the drones or UAV, UCV will be the weapons of the wars in the medium range timeframe. In the case of the F-22 we will surely only agree, that we disagree.

Open the file MiG-29A_data.ini with notepad editor scroll down to weapons look for lines like: SpecificStationCode=R-27R change this lines into //SpecificStationCode=R-27R try it again. (The specficstationcode weapon can be different from the example line.)
