ya know, Gepards model honestly looks better to me than both of the "we have that already" posts seen. to paraphrase, maybe he's rejecting our reality and substituting his own. im surprised to see more concrete/pavement than dirt. But the man is about the only one in here i know of that served on "the other side" during the active Cold War. so i tend to defer to him on WARPAC stuff seeing as he either lived it or knows the folks that did

Freelancin' get SAR out here damn, brought all 8 home....

my apologies, i responded after reading the first sentence. the rest does give abit more context it may take abit though. while theres alot of research heavy people on here, theres also alot of retired (and active) military on here that would still be more hesitant to share War Thunder statement stands, but with admission that its dickish

you missed the debates shortly after SF2NA came out in 2012, where people bitched the missiles were too powerfull. then too weak. each patch led to a new round of complaining. so what you got now for the most part is where he dropped it at in July '13

um, more detailed than that and youre flirting with the classified line. esp since theres not much need to have that detailed a 3d model of the radar in any of the games supported on this site this is CA not War Thunder. i dont think you get much help here

your B models seem off, both in the rescue marks and how far forward the dark grey goes on teh fuselage check the Viper folder i sent you on the paint. heres a proper era decals, and sample ini to place it. based on a Block 25 but should fit the 15 two seater.7z at this rate, i'll just let you handle PACAF while i work on the ANG and Europe edit: ignore that decal ini. this is the entries for the decals [Decal011] MeshName=Fuselage DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=Left FilenameFormat=F-16C_B25/dLW Position=3.70,0.1150 Scale=3.5 DecalMaxLOD=4 [Decal012] MeshName=Fuselage DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=Right FilenameFormat=F-16C_B25/dRW Position=3.60,0.1150 Scale=3.5 DecalMaxLOD=4 filepath is of course up to you, this is for position and scale

well, i didnt hit the Hummer. but me and the joe riding with me got a good close look at the steering wheel and dashboard. even more fun was running back to strip a tire off another trailer, then getting the mechanics to follow with the wrecker. not to change the tire (thats ten level ), but to use the crane to hold the MKT upright. naturally, the right tire is what flew off (and over the Hummer!) and so the trailer was leaning at a 45 plus degree angle into the ditch on the side. if i recall, this was the FTX where wife #1 for my joe with two wives left him. he was the one riding shotgun, then left with the trailer while i got another tire i swear, i should write a book. but nobody would believe it........

55-0677, the ONLY B-52D with a sharksmouth operationally. the others got them after retirement

meh. anything smaller than LMTV is too small although i recall driving a HMMWV, almost smacking into the back end of a Hummer that got into our convoy, who had to brake hard because the LMTV with trailer ahead of both of us threw a tire. why could i never come out of an FTX without some kind of problem?

thank you for the missile info and breathe Kemosabe. this aint FB, and over half of the active participants arent American at all beside, its fun playing the Soviets in games. their ROE was always much less restrictive......

update @Wrench that did it. although it was set for -2.5, i changed it to 2 changed a few other values too so its not pulling vapor trails like a pissed off Phantom anymore!

time saving trick i do is to make the AFxx-xxx tail number, then turn off the layer group that has the AFxx for the nose num. you gotta juiggle the decal ini a little as one side will be off on the other, but it is much quicker than making a batch each tail and nose nums also to my eye at least, the unit patches could shrink a little. shouldnt hurt much if its the template i think it is (and 4096 px big!)

Arc Light '65 and '66

the phone games were ok for when you had time to kill, like waiting at an appointment but they frankly only share name and sounds with SF2...

well it would have added two to the score. if CENTCOM would count Parani Fishbeds in revetments as kills.... and this guy, would even drop a bomb. well, he gets to sit and wait on EOD to safe the 117s, while im heading to the (possibly) air conditioned trailer....

nice site. you have to wander around it abit to get to the pics, but the home page has a lot of potential for PACAF overall (a topic not often covered in the books outside of a chapter or a mention)

book is Don Logan's first book on Hogs. Republic's A-10 Thunderbolt. i also have the WarHawgs book by him, but its much more late 90s until just before the C upgrade

F-117 part 2? and i mean the secrecy, not the actual airframe........

ive worked with Menrva for a few years now. he can be... an acquired taste i dont see his post here as condenscending, but i can totally understand where some might hell, after 8 months workin near daily when we released ODS30AE, i was tired and callin him an AH under my breath constantly. a few months break and it got better. plus three fourths of what we disagreed on he was actually right about. just his phrasing got me worked up enough to not see it at first

'87 it appears the didn't have much of anything

my bad, looking at the excel it seems they did operate block 10s (79- and 80- birds) for about a year and dont have those two in TAC it appears they operated the block 10s for about a year or so, then went to block 15s until 88. the block 10s then when to Shaw when the 363rd transitioned from a TRW to a TFW

pretty nice, although 8th TFW flew Block 15s. those started with sn 80-0541
