  1. you are correct. forgot about that post someways up and it just depends on who delivered this week whose rifles they use for that matter, makes the rolled up sleeves ok
  2. (will keep quiet, will keep quiet, will keep quiet , the hell i will) if US Army why AKs and RPG? why not M-4, M-16, SAW and M203? guy in ACU's with sleeves rolled up is no go in field and in garrison (rolled up ok in garrison for BDUs and just came back to Multicam this year) and for a squad you need a good mix of colors and heights. make sure a short one and a big one carry the one of the machine guns would be interesting to see that come to life tho
  3. how does one escape a Zeus 23 in an Oscar Deuce?
  4. no im not going to need a bigger bomb. just need to practice toss bombing.......
  5. more sticker placement. yes many had color inlet cones based on squadron color
  6. v2k's girl, i just make the dresses
  7. and the markings begin
  8. i can understand it to a degree. when i get to setting up my newly created era/region installs (roughly about three weeks), i wont want to scrool past the stock stuff to get to the add ons (in the cases of the 1950s based installs, or the Jumbo, the Atomic, or the ASW installs). i could, i just dont want to.
  9. this is the basis for the best fictions or game campaign scenarios. the real conditions on the ground, with one minor change that changes everything (like an unpopular archduke getting shot on the way to the hospital after escaping an assassination attempt)
  10. Gepard was the SPR-1 totally Russian or Russian vehicle with East German electronics?
  11. well the BUFF does have the right potentials, in that they keep changing what it can do (from yesterdays high altitude gravity bomber to tomorrows hypersonic missile truck and everything in between) the B-58 and B-70 fell victim to both the SAM threat (neither could operate at intended speed or range down low) and the politics of the time (Kennedy wanted to go to almost all ICBMs, and only considered bombers for the fact that they could be launched to send a message then recalled if things cooled down) the B-1 fell to politics as well, though Carter knew the Advance Technology Bomber aka B-2A was in the pipeline which convinced him to keep a campaign promise. It was plagued by immature tech in the 20th century, awesome but constantly used the first two decades of the 21st, then the overusage began to tell on the fleet the last couple of years. the B-2 would have been much cheaper had the full run of 132 or more been built. But in the early 90s, alot of politicians wanted to kill it period (not even the 21 that were built) and it was hard to justify as there was no more big bad Soviet Union threat that needed to be contained (yes using the American world view there). Same politicians were short sighted to think the world would be a big happy place and that we wouldnt get involved somewhere else far from home or that somebody else would think they should be top dog on the planet rather than the US. When the B-52 was built the USAF had a practice of putting an "0-" in front of the tail number of any aircraft over 10 years old. SAC's fleet (B-52s, KC-135s), almost all of MACs fleet, and the Century series staying in service into the late 70s (F-105G, F-104C, F-00Ds, F-106s) eliminated that practice. but when most of those aircraft were first built the common practice was that an aircraft would serve its original role about a decade in active service then a few years in the reserve forces before retirement. it would be interesting to see what LeMay would say if he were told the B-52Hs would be in service 60 years after they came off the line
  12. you know if you ever considered coming back, its been stable for over 8 years now
  13. only if its the exact same plane if its been maintained, upgraded and is still useful in some role, why not keep using it? a B-52H is only about 50% the same aircraft that left the Boeing line in 1961.....
  14. weapons checks, while on brief break from serial hunting
  15. if you downloaded from the site from Aug 2013 onwards its a given you have July 2013 SF2, SF2 Europe, SF2 Vietnam, SF2 Israel, SF2 North Atlantic. thats what i mean to give a visual to what allen said, this is the file path you should follow and place in NOT This one
  16. should really use a chase plane for some of the check flights
  17. it wont if the game is installed properly which version did you get? i dont think it will affect the F-89 but it would be helpful
  18. i concur with EricJ, looks good but dont ever remember seeing it. seems more like a firebase or CSM is bored thing than what the gunbunnies would actually do on their own (esp setting it back up after every fire mission!). shoot and scoot doesnt allow time for camo nets, the mission from halt to go should only be a few minutes so you get outta dodge before counter battery fire comes n if you proceed with it, use it for the firebase established postion model, not the stop shoot and go model. and move it out from in front of the barrel, even an illum mission would shred the netting
  19. good to hear youre doing better of course now that you are good enough to check in, i have to ask which you had, the steak or the fish?
  20. ok, this shows my ignorance of ground object behaviour, but does the gun stop to shoot or does it shoot on the move (in game, i know how RL goes) if it stops, is it possible for the blades in back to be up on the move, then drop to fire? other than that nitpick, looks awesome! whenever you might get to it, dont forget the CAT (M992 ammo carrier) uses the same chassis as the Paladin, intro to service 1982 (so in service for ODS)
  21. early anti glare
  22. he forgot. i havent gotten that far yet moving along...
  23. you volunteering? tonights work, limited as it is (quite abit on the RL front today) some more metal and clean up of the bays speaking of volunteers, anyone willing to produce three new models of the relevant nuke casings? pm if you are interested bitte....
