  1. Joining U.S. Navy as a foreigner

    Another thing to think about is, while it might be cool to go and fly some high speed advanced aircraft another nation has, you are now turning your back on your country, and swearing allegiance to another country where you will be asked to fight a war that might not be yours and could die doing just that. Personally, that is just something I could not do.
  2. Installed, going to fly the single missions first, wish me luck. No Spoilers, but there are some nice surprises in there!
  3. Dave, when will this mod be released? Will it include the F-117? Why does the EF-111A have HARMs?
  4. If I can't fly as my father in a B-52 from Diego Garcia without hitting ctrl-n or time compression I'm not going to download this.
  5. I wasn't aware Static Displays could be modeled in TW sims
  6. SUPER BOWL

    I going to be happy Monday and Tuesday when all these people leave my city, that's for sure.
  7. Joining U.S. Navy as a foreigner

    You need to obtain Resident Alien Status, and you can serve no more than seven (7) years without becoming a citizen. EDIT: I noticed you were talking about being an officer, you need to be a citizen. EDIT AGAIN : I noticed the information I was looking at was 9 years old, but though I am not 100% certain, I don't think that requirement would change.
  8. Ugh, I hate the term "CHARLIE MIKE"
  9. You forgot to mention the Canadian snow birds!
  10. 4 years ago...

    Hey, after this year you only get a raise every 2 years!
  11. RE F-117: I don't know about some of you, but for me, not having an a/c that only carries 2 bombs and flies one type of mission isn't going to take anything away from such an awesome looking mod.
  12. No, Texas is not "The South" but more importantly related to what is said Texans are not Southerners. Florida does has Southerners in it, but since over the years it has been invaded and overrun by Yankees and others, not everyone in Florida is a Southerner, it is more of a culture thing than a geography thing.
  13. 20-25 years ago, who would have thought SAC Warriors and Russian weapons designers (is that what lindr does?) would be able to communicate with and work on mutual supportive projects together for each others enjoyment? Amazing really if you think about it.
  14. I should have read this thread earlier... If I wanted 100% realism where I had to click every knob, I'd still be wearing a scarlet colored French hat to work.
  15. There is more to the internet besides wikipedia http://www.google.com/search?client=firefo...G=Google+Search oh and by thee way ARN-101 Computer The ARN-101 is a navigation, weapon delivery and sensor management system that provides all-weather navigation and stores delivery capabilities to fighter aircraft. In the navigation mode, the ARN-101 provides precision navigation to and from destinations and targets. In weapon delivery mode, navigation functions are provided by the ARN-101 to allow accurate weapon deliveries, including ballistic calculations.
  16. Iranian Air Space

    I have complete confidence in the skippers of the Los Angelas/Seawolf/Virginia Class boats that will be/are operating in the area who have trained the better part of their adult lives for the unlikely moment that they can use all the training they have fighting submarines for real. I feel sorry for the Navy that has to fight the US Navy when they get the chance. How many years have they been waiting to use their ship/sub killing toys? It is going to be ugly for thier foe.
  17. Iranian Air Space

    The second that Navy becomes an active threat is the second Operation Praying Mantis II occurs and their Navy ceases to exist.
  18. We finally made it!

    Yes, the M-84 is a Yugoslavian made T-72 copy. I did an exchange with a Kuwaiti National Guard unit in 1998 and operated one, it was awful. Granted this was one of the earliest versions of the tank, an the Kuwaiti Military isn't known for its high maintenance standards, let alone their National Guard, optics were horrible, turret was cramped, auto loader (a bad idea for many reasons anyways) was crap, and it had the same flaw as the T-72 it's wonderful ammo stowage.
  19. We finally made it!

    About as well as it would against a company of M1A2 SEP, M1A1D/SA, or Leo2A5/A6. It seems to be a good tank for Croatia's needs, and I am not slagging on it, but to say it would "hold its own" against those tanks is a bit of a stretch. But, it doesen't need to fight the top of the line tanks of the world so the point is mute. The comparisons made in those youtube videos don't even say anything. I'm glad it has the whatever the Croatian version of FBCB2, whatever they call their BLUEFOR tracker. I don't like the fact that the Commander's Independent Viewer seemed to be an afterthought, and it was added as part of the Israeli designed CWS (Commander's Weapon Station) Sure the TC has an independent optic to search for targets, but it is not the same optics as the gunner, and he has no way to designate targets and transfer them over to the gunner. In the modern tank fight (especially in the defense) this puts crewmen of this tank at the disadvantage when fighting modern Westarn tanks.
  20. We finally made it!

    Yeah, good luck with that. (notice I edited out T-90) Luckily you won't have to though.
  21. At least your city is represented, in the OTC terrain, my city (Tampa) is just jungle!
  22. Iranian Air Space

    I don't even think deep down in reality the Iranians think their Air Force is a threat to the US. The fact that a percentage of their aircraft would be destroyed on the ground by pilots sitting in a booth in Nevada drinking coffee makes me smile.
  23. That's just LAIRCM stuff that is being deployed on C-17's right?
  24. That is the searchlight mod by CA_Stary http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=8017
