Mortars and howitzers shooting indirect fire, while tank guns are shooting direct fire. Indirect fire means, that the bullet is flying a high ballistic curve. Direct fire means a low ballistic curve. In game it seems to be, that only direct or low or flat fire is implemented. All guns are shooting on direct way. But for shipguns of big caliber or mortars or howitzers it is nor realistic. Has someone an idea how to make howitzers shooting in a high ballistic curve?

In the history it was common that tanks got tactical numbers and showed insignias for better friend and foe identification. This package included modded stock tank files, so that the tanks will show numbers and insignias in single missions and campaigns. It contains insignias and tactical numbers for: Leopard A1 to A5 Centurion Shot and Shot Kal M48 Magach 3 M60 Magach 6 M48A2 M48A3 M60A1 T-34-85 T-54 T-55 T-62A T-72A For M48, M60, T-54 and T-55 i added workable anti-aircraft-machine guns. I also changed the armour of some tanks values to make them closer to real world ----------------------------------------------------------------------- II.

GKABs D-30 with "eastern uniformed" troops D-30s spoted by A-4 Skyhawk at Socotra Island Little tank fire exchange at Socotra. The Dushkas of the T-54 are a little bit overrated. Tank plinking is not such a fun anymore.

The Stinger is overrated. The soviets learned in Afghanistan such much about this missile, that they were able to invent counter measures which reduced the efficency of the Stinger very much. Lipa IR jammers, flares exactly working on search frequences of the Stinger seeker head and so on. Modern Stingers are much better now, but they cost a fortune. Over one million US$ the Lithuanians had to pay for one missile. Much to much. For the half price you get french Mistrale missiles. One deciding factor for a missile on a fast jet are the power of wind and air drag, which the missile has to withstand. And this power is enourmous. The starting container of the stinger is very light and cannot withstand if the wind power becomes to much.

If you want to fly a MiG-21 there is a quick and dirty solution Open the file MiG-21MF.ini with Notepadeditor The lines should be: [AircraftData] AircraftFullName=MiG-21MF "Fishbed-J" AircraftDataFile=MiG-21MF_data.ini LoadoutFile=MiG-21MF_loadout.ini Then add the line CockpitDataFile=F-4E_cockpit.ini save the file Now you can fly the MiG with a F-4E cockpit

You can fly a MiG-21 in every version of SFP1, You dont need Oct2008 patch.

Multi-player was always a problem. Thatswhy it does not exist anymore in SF2 world. Try to fly only single missions with a stock plane. Lets say F-4 Phantom. If this works you can download a flyable MiG-21 from this site. There a lots of them available. You dont need Multi-player.

Perhaps SFP1 does not like Ubuntu. It was written for Windows XP. Do you have tried to choose an other plane or an other terrain? Sometimes mods can cause such a problem as you descripe.

The only Su-34 for SF2 world came from a chinese and it was pirate stuff. Thatswhy you cant find it here.

Rockeye!

It reminds me on "Hogans Heroes".

Red Riding Hood, russian version.

Two horse tatchankas were as common as Troikas or Quadrigas. It depended a lot wheter enough horses were available. In the time of civil war both sides used what they had. Of course a quadriga tatchanka looked much better. The crew were always 3 men. One driver( is this the correct term?), one shooter and one for the ammo belt to prevent ammo jam. Polish Tatchanka Soviet Tatchanka used as Flak.

You know what kind of movie this was. There was nearly all wrong. If you look to the soldiers in the back, this is Wehrmacht, not east german army. It would be the same to say all american girls are black, fat and ugly.

I got the message, that my tactical numbers for israeli tanks are not correct. Thatswhy i reworked the design and made new israeli tank numbers, consisting of a hebrew letter as tank designation number, a normal number for the platoon designation, angles for the company and rings on the barrel for the battalion designation. (not on Centurions, there were strange stripes along the whole barrel, thatswhy i deletet the stripes again) Its a confusing system.

Tactical numbers and insignias for stock tanks. Here: the Israelis. M60 Magach 6, M48 Magach 3, Centurion Shot Release: X-Mas

No. No such tool available. You must do the work by hand.

This is a pity.

Tactical numbers and insignias for stock tanks. Here: Leopard 1 Planed release: X-mas.

In SF2 world none. In reality it was not uncommon during WW2. Here a picture of the front turret of japanese Battleship Nagato. On the top you can see two tripple Flak guns. The picture was taken at Bikini Atoll some days befor an A-Bomb test.

Because its historically correct.

At ships and planes this problem not appears.

Sometimes it works. And then, some seconds later, its the same rubbish as before. I think it is really a limit of the game engine, that it cant handle correct a rotating cuppola on a rotating turret. Not satisfying.
