Are there some AA machine gun packs in the FE downloads that would be useful?

Nimitz underway with RH-53s aboard. Wonder where she's headed?

USMC UH-1Ns on an armed recon over Iceland And somewhere a bit warmer

Spudknocker, have a look at this topic http://combatace.com/topic/67951-georgia-on-my-mind/?hl=baltika It might be the terrain you need for your Dark Gene campaign. I don't know if Baltika is still active, or if you could take over the project if he still has the files, but the terrain has a lot of potential for various scenarios.

If WTR is now not going to be released, what happened to the CH-3 that Jarek was working on?

I remember once TK posted that he would love to do a Sci Fi version of Strike Fighters (SF:SF?) and then users could make their own models. Think of the possibilities - we could have Vipers vs Tie Fighters, Angel Interceptors vs Babylon 5's Starfuries or even Spaceball One vs a Borg Cube! Sadly it came to nothing for the PC, although TK did get to make his Sci Fi game as Star Vector for mobiles.

There might be something useful in here: http://combatace.com/files/file/15465-strike-fighters-2-crisis-in-the-med/

Stratos I know you're concentrating on Syria, but could you maybe make Gaza and the West Bank enemy territories and include some targets for Israeli jets or gunships to hit? I'm thinking headquarters or comms buildings, artillery or katyusha sites, an airport and port facilities if possible. Then we could recreate some of the recent missions/campaigns and explore future scenarios. Thanks.

Now THAT'S how you make a Star Wars prequel!

But then you don't get USMC Harriers and helicopters operating from the assault ships. Unless you made a second USMC nation, maybe called USMC-H, that was CarrierBased=TRUE and assigned those aircraft to that nation?

I did something similar. I put together a big install with Iraqi, Iranian and western planes and objects and had 4 terrains: IranIraq for the Iran Iraq war 1980-88 ODS for Desert Shield and Desert Storm Persian Gulf and IR2003 for western ops against Iran in the 1980's and post-ODS eras respectively, including Operation Darius. Now Wrench is going to jump in and tell me I could have done it all on one terrain!

The first soviet aircraft to reach the beachhead is an Mi-8, but he's soon spotted by an AV-8B and won't last long However, he's done his job and pinpointed the location of the USMC landing force for the follow on flight of Hinds... The Harriers wheel around to engage this new threat The Harriers head for home to refuel and rearm And the invasion and the Battle for Iceland is only just getting started...

In one of the thread of comments on the post on FB there is a comment by Thirdwire to the effect that they are planning on porting the mobile games to PC. Wonder if we'll be able to access the data, and will it be compatible to move to an SF2 install?

USMC CAS over Iceland: But the Marines aren't the only ones in the air this morning: To be concluded...

USMC units begin to move inland from the beachhead: As reinforcements continue to come ashore via a shuttle service of LCACs and CH-53s But the Soviets have no intention of letting the Marines have everything their own way, and begin to move forces forward to push the Yankees back into the sea: A USMC Bronco recon flight spots the incoming Soviet armour The Marines dig in And wait for air support to take out the threat To be continued.....

The Marines begin the liberation of Soviet-occupied Iceland: First ashore are Force Recon: Followed up by the main force of Marines and armour: To be continued...

Some more shots, including LAVs...

In response to the 1986 invasion of Dhimar, USMC forces operating from amphibious assault ships in the Gulf of Paran and airfields in Dhimar spearhead the counter-attack with a landing on Parani territory to capture the strategic port city of Izmat and a major engagement begins....

I think that torpedoes are classed as sea skimmer missiles with no LOD but just a wake effect. Check out the WW2 weapons and mods.

"well that sucks on hidden objects. thought two is: do you think the sub could sit much lower in the water? that is to where all but the periscope are below water?" You mean like this, by Fubar512 back in 2008? http://combatace.com/files/file/1684-november-class-ssn-submerged/

So I took the excellent AH-1J International (TOW) by yakarov79 and added some tweaked USMC skins from his AH-1J (80) to give myself a faux AH-1T. I know that there are structural and other differences to the 'real' AH-1T but until we have one in SF2 my USMC units now have some heavier anti-armour capability in 1980's scenarios.

Carrier ops aboard CVAN-65 (with Intruders using the wrong skin - don't you just hate it when that happens!)
