Gepard

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.

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.)

You want to fight the wars of the past. For this wars the F-22 fits perfectly. I want to fight the wars of today and tomorrow. And there the F-22 is not the best choice. The F-22 is a technological milestone and a masterpiece of engeniering. No question. Its a high capable plane. Again no question. But it is not neccessary to have the high capablilities, but the right capabilities. And the F-22 has not the right capabilities for today and tomorrow. The needed capabilities are: a plane must operate under rough field conditions, must be able to attack ground targets and support ground forces, must be resistant against damages, should have low operational costs and the industry must be able to build the plane in high scales if needed. Not one of this today needs the F-22 can reach.

There are different MiG-29s in the download section. Which do you use?

Never make a deal with China if you dont wish to see a copy of your product.

For the future the F-22 is not good enough. It has its advantages only by their stealth potential. In WVR dogfights it is beaten very often. Eurofighter had done it and F-16s too. You will answer, the F-22 is intended to fight from distance. But this is only possible as long the enemy has no stealth planes. The PAK FA is said to have the same stealth factor as the F-22. If this is true, then the time of BVR superiority for the USAF is gone. Then WVR dogfights will be again. And this is a job the F-22 cant really do. But this is an hypothetical scenario. Which major Air Force could face the US. Russia? China? Forget it. The danger of today and tomorrow will be assymetrical. No high tech fighter planes but gras root terrorists. Good luck with the F-22. 100 newly build state of the art A-10 would be much more better.

Some true arguments, but how often the A-10 has faced Su-27 opposition in the last 10 years? And the battle ships were never used in the role they were intended when they were built.

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
