You must post here a mandatory screenshot together with your question. Its a screenshot threat. And to answer your question. It are tga files. I will release the tactical numbers and insignias for stock tanks at X-Mas.

Where must i look for this "attached node"?

This are my lines from M60A1_data.ini [FlaGunner] SystemType=GUNNER GunnerID=1 TargetType=AIR_AND_GROUND GunRange=1500.0 GunMinAltitude=0.0 GunMaxAltitude=1500.0 PitchAngleRate=30 MaxPitch=60.0 MinPitch=-15.0 DefaultPitchAngle=0 YawLimited=FALSE YawAngleRate=30 MinYaw= MaxYaw= DefaultYawAngle=0 YawModelNodeName=cupola turret PitchModelNodeName=machine gun ViewportPosition=0.55,-0.30,3.05 VisualSearchTime=4.0 IndependentSearchChance=60 LookAroundChance=50 [FlaMG] SystemType=GUN GunnerID=1 GunTypeName=50cal_M3 MuzzlePosition=0.50,1.384,2.82 MaxAmmo=1000 TracerLoading=6 BurstAmount=12 EjectShells=TRUE The muzzle position is taken from LOD viewer. The problem is, that the gun moves in one direction, but is firing in an other direction.

The old chinese strategos Sun Zu said, you must try to understand your enemy if you want to get the best for yourself. Lets try to look with iranian eyes. Iran is in a weak situation. It has no powerfull allies. Hizballah and Assad are not counting, they are mor a burden than helpfull. Russia is not really an ally. In Syria the Russians play their own game, with the aim to hold and secure their only naval and air base at the Mediterranaen Sea. In the Gulf area the russians ar no existent and their only base south of the arab peninsula (Socotra) they gave up 30 years ago. With other words, Iran is alone. And it is surrounded by nuclear powers. There are the Russians in the north, Pakistan and India in the East, Israel in the West and the US Navy in the Gulf. So the Iranians feel encircled and under siege. What they need is a powerfull deterrence. And this can only be the nuclear weapon. They have learned, that the possetion of nuclear weapons makes unassailable. Without nuclear weapons they fear a western, suni, israeli or whatever attempt of regime change, or worse a military invasion. Examples are the so called Arabellion and the annihilation of Ghadaffys Libyan regime by french and british forces. The example for inviolability is North Korea. The fat boy of NK can do what he want, nobody will not touch his regime, because all fear the nuclear detterence. The aim of Iran is to get the same safety level as North Korea. Thatswhy they want the bomb. Not to use them, but for deterrence. (May some iranian hardliners cry bullshit about erase of Israel, they know for sure, that a nuclear strike against the jewish state will be answered by a massive retailiation and afterward you can swim from the Gulf to the Caspian Sea. Iranians may have a martyr cult, but they are not willing to suicide their whole people.) The economic situation of Iran is bad. There are no powerfull and monetary resources for a longer war. So on the short Iran is only able to stir up trouble on secondary theatres of war. The same strategy the British used between 1940 and mid 1944 in WW2 against Germany. Try to make the enemy busy to defend against pinbricks, like rocket salvos of Hizballah at Israel or drone attacks at Saudi fuel depots, or support of guerilla activities in Yemen. This does not cost much for the Iran, but the defenders have a lot of trouble and a lot of costs, because they must guard all of their strategic and economic assets. (An old military rule says, for a small war (Guerilla war in modern terms) you need only a tenth of the power of the defending army. In an assymetric war of today this relation is much worse for the defender) On the long run, the very long run it may change a lot. The world economy is changing. The renewable energies are coming, so the oil is on the long run a discountinued model. And the arab economy is more or less basing on oil alone. When the time is come and the western and chinese economy will not need oil anymore, the arabs will have a major problem. They are running out of money and without money they will have no power. This will be the time for the Iran to expand his zone of influence. But till then 50 years or more will go.

Tell this the hatepriest from Kiev. From him came no single fact about the topic.

Insignia and tactical numbers on stock tanks. Here M48A2, M48A3 and M60A1

SPR-1 was soviet made. It came mid 1980th to us. At this time the NATO introduced arti ammo whith radio controlled fuse. It should explode over the target to increase the ammount of destruction. SPR-1 operated in two ways. Either to switch off the radio controlled fuzed by burning through their electronic devices. Or second to ignit the ammo in a distance that was safe for the ground troops. IIRC the west germans had a similar system based on Marder.

What kind of stuff you are drinking?

Good question. If the Anti-Radar-Missiles are able to detect the jamming frequences, then sure. But electronic warefare is a wide field. A continous jamming is not neccessary. A point jamming, focused on a spot, can be done in a short time. And then is the question, what is quicker, the jamming of the drone or the Anti-Radiation-Missile? Could be very interesting. Interesting, because you can lure an Anti-Radiation-Missile on a wrong way. Do you remember on Kosovo war in 1999, when a HARM missile, which was aimed on a serbian radar, was victim of decoy transmitters and finaly exploded in a suburb of the bulgarian capital Sofia. Electronic warfare is the battle ground of the future. It is the main defence against swarms of drones. A lot depends on the technic, but also on the quality of the soldiers. And one thing i have learned in the past, that it is very stupid to underestimate the abilities of an opponent.

I know you hate the russians and the germans too. Your statements are full of hate. A discussion with you is nearly impossible.

Russia Today? Do you think i believe their propaganda bullshit? My source is DW (Deutsche Welle), the german broadcast agency for foreign countries. https://www.dw.com/en/osce-drone-shot-down-while-spotting-russian-surface-to-air-missile-in-ukraine/a-46125199

True. But all depends on the quality of the soldiers and it is a well known fact, that the caucasians are better dancers than soldiers. They lack disciplin. The drones in Nagorny Karabahk conflict were really game changers. Their advantage was that the armanians were not aware of that threat. The armenians beliefed in a conventional war with tanks, artillery, helicopters and planes. But drones were unexpected. Thatswhy they had had no defence against drones. Their soldiers were not trained to detect and fight against drones. Drones are mostly small objects which are often stealthy. And they are slow. So they were missidentified as birds and their signals were ignored by the radar operators. In future you can expect, that "bird" signals on radar screens will get more attention by the radar guys.

1) The russians had nothing to do with the Nagorny Karabakh war 2021. It were the Armenians vs Aserbaidshanians. The russians were not involved in this conflict. 2) In Libya the russians have "mercenary" troops (Wagner) similar to american Blackwater Company. There is no need for high tech jammers. 3) Syria is a good question. Maybe the russians have their jammers at their naval base and air bases. Or they are confident, that they dont need them there. 4) The SPR-1 is technology of the mid, late 80th. Today there are more sophisticated systems available. Today the jamming is focused on the on board electronic of the drone. If you remember, the iranians were able to bring down an american drone by jamming. IIRC last year or two years ago. And i think that american technology should be superior to turkish. So if american drones are vulnerable against jamming, so are turkish drones vulnerable too. Any by the way, laser guided missiles can be jammed. The russian T-90 tanks have laser jammers on the turret. They were intended to jam laser guided Hellfire missiles.

I think the SPR-1 jammers should be in use by ukrainian army too.

True. But the Armenians had not had the jammer to protect their ground forces. I remember, that we had in East Germany special vehicles with jammers to protect the tank units against drones and ammo with radio conrolled ignition. IIRC the vehicles were called SPR-1 or SRP-1 or so. So it looked: This was 35 years ago. In the meantime the jammer technic should be much better. The russians tested their jammer devices some years ago against austrian observation drones , which had got the task from OSCE to observe the Donbas area. The russians grilled their onboard electronics by massive jamming and the drones were falling from sky.

SA-5 Gammon (S-200 Vega) SAM site at Socotra (terrain WIP) Edit: After a look on a Google Earth sat pic of an old east german SA-5 base i found out, that each SAM Launcher position had an own storage bunker. Thatswhy i changed the design of the site a little bit. Now it looks so:

The FM in First Eagles World behaves a little bit different than in SF2 world. Its a fun to copy a F-4 from SF2 into FE2 and fly it there. Especially when flying very low in a mountain area.

The russians have already grilled drones over the Donbas area in former times. Why not the Turkey drones in future?

In the case of the B-52, you mentioned, a lot was wrong in the development pipeline. First it was intended to replace the B-52 by B-58 Hustler. A big fail. Then the B-70 Valkyrie, an even bigger fail. Then the B-1A which was a fail. Then the B-1B which was rather mediocre than good. Then the B-2 which is much to expensive to operate this bird in large numbers. So the B-52 is still operational, because there is no plane that fits better the needs of the USAF. Or as my old professor said: "It is not neccessary to have the high potentials, you must have the right potentials!"

If a plane is older than the pilot, then something is wrong in development pipeline.

Is it possible to add something to a ground object with the fake pilot, in the same way we can do it with planes? I would like to have a driver in the M38 Jeep.

For the chinese T-69 you can simply use the stock T-62A LOD. What TK sold us as soviet T-62 is not a T-62 but a chinese T-69.

It works! Never thought it would work!!! Hi Suzi! I would like to have one Cheeseburger with French Fries and a big Coke!
