Gepard

Nice work. But there are some minor mistakes. I attache some close up pictures of the MiG-21F13. My impression is, that the tires are in original bigger than in your model. Maybe i'm wrong. Look to the pitot tube, it is shorter than in your model. The small ring antenna and the gun have a little bit different shape Over the gun and close to the number 5 you see small doors which are open while take of and landing. One is to get more air input and the other is to let out to much airflow. The engine is placed a little bit more into the fuselage than in your model. Perhaps 30 or 40 cm. The view into the MiG-21 engine from behind.

After a short time persons like these made a good career in West Germany. Chancellor Adenauer had had more old Nazis in the ministries (departments) than Adolf Hitler. The forrunner of the secret service BND, which was called Oragnisation Gehlen, was formed by old Nazis to 100%. In East Germany the most KZ Guards were sent to prison for a long time. The "funny" thing is, that after the reunification of Germany these guys were declared as "victims of the communist regime" and got a lot of money for compensation of injustice.

Its in the Open Beta phase now. Played it a while, but to be honest, its not my cup of tea. Its to much arcade style.

Ich habe jetzt eine Weile World of Warplanes ausprobiert und ich muss sagen, daß ich nicht wirklich begeistert bin. Vielleicht liegt es daran, daß mein Computer so alt ist, daß er gerade einmal die Minimalvorraussetzungen erfüllt. Wenn es zum Luftkampf kommt fängt meine Kiste an ordentlich zu ruckeln. Aber auch sonst habe ich so meine Schwierigkeiten mit diesem Spiel. Es ist mir zu Arcadelastig. Wenn SF schon als Sim Light bezeichnet wird, dann ist WOWP eine Superlight Sim. Fazit. Ich fahre Online lieber Panzer.

Graf Zeppelin (german carrier)

This bird would be nice.

The plane came in much to slow. The nose was very high, so the tail hits the runway. Pilot error. Sometimes i believe, that the modern pilots are to much dependant on computers instead to fly a plane by feel.

But a true Graf Zeppelin would be great. Could be used as soviet carrier after WW2 with MiG-17s on the flight deck.

The idea of systems like Prism is to get the neccessary informations to protect the state. So it was all around the world and so it is still today. The americans now have a bad press and the british too. But to be honest, the others make the same. The french do it and the russians, the chinese and and and ... Of course it is a violation of the civil rights of the citicens. But it is the common job of secret services. They do their job on basic of the laws of their contries. But how efficient are this data mining systems? The NSA get so much informations, that they are nearly unable to find the gold in the mass of sand. Or with other words the best place to hide a tree is a wood. Its the stupid way to replace human int with technology. Who collect all will find nothing.

Which damn fool has put the monthly amount of washing powder in the washing machine at once?

The Viper is a good choice for Poland. Its fits perfectly for a country of that size. Poland has no real need for high end fighters like a F-22 or F-35 or Su-35. The Viper is a good workhorse. Be happy with it.

No, i dont think so. But to be honest, i have never seen soviet or russian planes with yellow bordered tactical numbers. All planes i know, had white bordered numbers or no borders. The colors of the planes depended of the squadron at the airfield. The first Sqd had red numbers, the second blue, the third iirc yellow, then came green and white (only borders)

Havanna is a nice place on a nice island. But i guess the journalists will not be happy about that trip.

Leipzig-Halle

Mass take offs are possible. Look into Baltic Entrance Terrain for SF1. 16 Hunters in less than 50 seconds in the air. 20 planes are impossible. The game handles only 16.

Der T-80 war wirklich eine positive Überraschung. Ist nur doof, daß man als Tier 4 so oft in Tier 5 oder sogar Tier 6 Gefechte reinkommt. Da sieht man dann ganz schön alt aus. Da ist mir der T-70 viel sympathischer. Der ist fast genauso gut, ist aber nur als Tier 3 eingestuft. Der P-1C hat frontal auch gegen den T-70 keine Chance. Nur von der Seite ist es unangenehm. Vor allem weil bei mir die Bildrate in sich zusammenfällt wenn ein P-1C mit dem MG losballert. Dann sehe ich nur noch Slideshow.

Okay, I see.

No PM, i have nothing to hide. My military service started in 1988. On 1. September i was drawn (hope this is the correct term) to the Military Technical School at Prora. There in the "Land der drei Meere (Sandmeer, Ostmeer, Nichtsmehr) [ difficult to translate "soldier joke" = Land of three Seas (Sandsea, Baltic Sea, Nothing more)] i spent a half year for sergeant training, specialiced for "propaganda technic", what sounds terrible, but was in reality operating a cinema and taking photos etc. After that half year i was sent as Unteroffizier (Sergeant) to a helicopter squadron and got there a small cinema, which i had to operate. Was a nice and easy job. The most part of the day was easy and at the evening i had to show movies from all over the world (mostly western productions from France, Danmark and Hollywood) But then i had during a training a "big mouth" and told one officer that he teached rubbish (He said: You can kill a Leo2 panzer by shooting the turret with a RPG-7 and i said "foolish nonesens" but not silently enough). The result was that i was promptly degraded to Private rank. The problem was, that the officer was a pilot, but i was member of the staff, so he had not had the right to degrade me. So i was ordered to come to the commander of the squadron to become degraded. It was not a very nice time there, but after they had stamped me into the soil for a while one deputy commander rised his finger and said "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, excuse me please, but the guy was right. The Leo 2 is frontalyl attacked with RPG-7 unvulnerable" And after he explained the "Why", he teatsed my knowledge of "tank busting" in front of thie high ranking officers of the squadron. He was safisfied and so i became a member of the tactical SAR team. From this time my easy life was over. I still had to operate my cinema and had additionally to train the TAC SAR job. Was interessting. In September 1990 the unit was dismissed and i left the Military with the rank of a Unterfeldwebel (Staff Sergeant)

Its a propaganda movie from 70th, i think. Far away from reality, with one exaption, there were "orginazied" sport meetings between them and us. Football and volleyball mostly. And it is also true, that it was very difficult to communicate with the soviet guys. But such propaganda videos, to say it in german "kotzten mich an". (And this term i will not translate.)

The first sunk submarine was during american civil war, wasnt it?

This is not really new. Leonow told this story since years. I have read it in two books and saw some years ago one interview were he told the story that two Su-7 caused Gagarins MiG crash.

It was the insignia of the planes and helicopters of the LSK/LV or in western terms EGAF = East German Air Force

I would like this.

Kenne ich auch. So etwas passiert immer mal wieder. Meist, wenn man mit "Noobs" zusammenspielt. Wenn so etwas passiert schau doch nach dem Spiel einfach mal nach, wieviele Gefechte deine Mitspieler bisher hinter sich haben und welche Ergebnisse sie dabei erzielten. Wenn Du dann welche hast, die weniger als 500 Gefechte haben, dann ist die Sache klar. Ebenso sieht es aus, wenn du Mitspieler hast, die ein Abschußverhältnis (Zahl der Abschüsse pro Gefecht) schlechter als 50% haben. Gute Leute haben ein Verhältnis so um die 1 oder besser (Pro Gefecht ein Abschuss). Beispiel 2500 Gefechte und 2400 Abschüsse deuten auf einen Spieler, der die Sache verstanden hat. Hat aber einer bei 2500 Gefechten nur 200 Kills, so ist er einfach zu doof für dieses Spiel (oder er spielt nur Scout, dann ist es etwas anderes). Ich habe letztens einen Spieler in Gefecht, der hatte sage und schreibe 53.000 Gefechte und etwa 40.000 Abschüsse. Bei dem habe ich mich gefragt, ob der überhaupt noch was anderes macht als WOT zu spielen und warum der kein besseres Ergebnis vorzuweisen hat.

You can set more than one squadron at one airfield. If they are from different Air Forces, you must check, wheter the Forces are on the same side. A red and blue mix will not work.
