SayethWhaaaa

I'm SO not cut out for the navy or working any profession that involves waves like that...

Are you sure...? The real Branson Mi I dunno, seems like a pretty cool place to me! This. Ain't. Ova.

Heh, I know the feeling. I've been doing my 'Medical' for about 6 months now... ADF's very... thorough.

I dunno, but I'll go ask my ex for the 2 grand she owes me and while I'm at it, I'll ask for the last 2 years of my life back and I'll let you know...

Hey Scouser! Big congrats dude!! Hey they given you your schedule yet? Do you know if you'll be heading to Karpooka or will they send you to Williamtown(?) for training? Like Atredies said, if you want to be a pilot, don't give up hope. The biggest thing is probably getting the math under your belt, but you can always get a tutor for that. If you are studying at or planning to go to Uni(versity), I know that's a big plus for officer selection. If you ask Dels, he might be able to answer some questions you may have... or not. But then again, the few A/C maintenance guys I've met are pretty cool, so you'll have a ball with them. Also, since you're joining the ADF, you better brush up on your slang, HERE

If it works, why not? If someone else does the hard work and they can capitalise on it, then it works out for them. The US and Soviets were doing it for decades. I mean, they're not striving for originality here, they're developing the infrastructure to create their own arms industry. With that massive former Bell plant there, I'm not surprised they went for a Bell design mod. I figure they're not doing it with the Chinese stuff because they'd kick up a fuss and withdraw their support to the Iranian arms industry, military etc...

Sorry dude, I forgot to add you too... My bad...

Wrench is right. Treating it as a weapon would be the easiest route to take since there aren't any AI flight profiles that would simulate a suicide attack. Also, I don't recall ramming your aircraft into a target causing much damage. I know I've done it a few times where I've been shot down or fixated on my target and crashing into another and so on, but I've seen targets survive impacts with my aircraft just fine. Is there even a way to add an explosive charge or damage rating to an aircraft??

Fictional I'm afraid. Dude's a DeviantART-ist... http://pearceryan.deviantart.com/art/F-36A...epting-61503784 The onlt F-36 I've heard of was the XF/A-36A Game from Ace Combat III and that was based on a drone (X-36A)

K, I don't mean to make light of the situation, but what a way to go, in a Thai hotel room no less. That's a rock star death. I've only recently realised how good an actor he was. Admittedly, I'm limited to his performances in the Kill Bills, Saints Row and a few others, but in those roles, he never missed the mark! This is a real shame...

Jesus! That sucks hard!! Yeah, I thought it was a little quieter around here as of late. I'll raise a glass to her speedy recovery at my next opportunity. Here's to a speedy, thorough recovery for you V! lol... mouthy... That describes all of my girly mates.

I liked the original Saw. It was original, conceptually, it was bleak and gritty; and that's what made it so good to me. After that, the sequels were about as entertaining as the Police Academy sequels to me... Besides, the first one had Danny Glover being too old for this sh*t!

But doesn't it have only one pouch...?

This is a slice of fried gold!! :yes: :good:

Awesome Jarhead! Remember, regular newborns can be difficult, but being born to a leatherneck, this kid ain't going to back down from a fight! Good luck getting him to sleep! Heh Congratulations dude!

Jaysus... One of them new C-5s with the hinged cargo door...?

Great skin! Only, that report turned out to be bogus, just like the one about the IRIAF buying 200+ Su-30s. Still, I can't wait to see what fighting IRIAF F-14s supported by F-10A will be like. Think I'm gonna get my ass kicked.

Looks like a plane boss. :yes:

That's precisely why I dig the RAN A-4G and the RNZAF A-4K Kahu. There's not much you can't do with either, especially the A-4K Kahu! That bird is mean!

Oh, wait. Up until 1980... Yeah, aside from the F-16s, most of that is valid.

There's a whole host. Early model F-16s have the manourverability and can carry a stack of IRMs. You've got Mig-23s from the Eastern Bloc. I find the SAAB Viggens, despite not being the most agile, can be pretty potent is you can train those hard hitting 30mm cannons on target. The A-4 has the agility to line up the more nimble Migs too. I guess it all depends on how you're engaging the Migs. What you're doing when you get into a turning fight and what you need from your aircraft. I'm guessing you're talking about knife fighting RE the Migs, yeah? I mean the F-14 was active from before 1980 and there'd be a lot of people swear by the Tomcat...

Where are they? Did they pop out to the loo?

I got put off by it when I saw David Schwimmer in the first ep. Yeah, petty, I know, but I can't stand him. I hear the cinemaphotography was outstanding though.

I agree completely with Lt. Jim. My guys get my back when I'm down in the weeds, my number 2 will hit targets I request and generally does what he/she's told, although not necessarily instantly, but then again, that's not a realistic expectation in SAM country. If you issue your orders before you reach the AO (although not too far out), they will work for you. Take in some bombers and you'll easily see their efforts as they'll practically carpet bomb the area. Although, if I start a sortie, I'm not completely sure I get results from my number 3 if I start with a three ship flight...

We don't really need to, the avsim lads have already recreated their own: http://linux.myalbemarle.org/forums/ I mean, we could but they're already getting back on their feet over there. The community's already rallied around and contributing to the new database. It's good to see!
