SayethWhaaaa

lol, you gotta get out more Col5.

Well, yeah. I don't know any girls who don't dig scars acquired from doing something dodgy. :yes:

Yeah, that one stuck in my craw too...

Heh, yeah... I thought so.

I dunno dude, in the DS Mod, seems like every time I take on a Mirage F-1EQ my first AIM-9 bounces off the fuselage and the second takes it down. It's a shame they're taking the "2 missile takedown" for this action shooter too. I remember in the earlier Ace Combats (2 and 4 I think) where some aircraft like the Tornado, A-10 and the Mig-31 would take you at least 4 to take down. I dunno that it's going to be as bad as you guys are all suggesting. This game is being developed to take on Ace Combat and, lets face it, what other competition is there for vaguely aircraft sim/action type games for console? It's very pretty, but what I'd be interested to see is if the game leaves you with that kinda hollow feeling Ace Combat 6 left me with (the f**king god aweful and massively cheesy script/acting was mostly responsible for that) or whether I'll get immersed in it like I have with Distant Thunder (or Shattered Skies, whatever its called there.). I don't care what kind of toys I get to use in the game, if I'm not completely gripped by it or caught up in the game in any way, I won't go back to it later. Simple as that. Now, if it resembled the difference GRAW2 had with the average FPS, I think I'd be in. And on that point, I see everyone bagging this about it not being simtastic enough (fair enough, it doesn't look it), but I bet a bunch of you play COD 4. How much of a sim is that compared to AA or GRAW2? Hmmm?

Am I a rivet counter for seeing this film when I was seven and knowing even then that there were 4 catapults??

Oops... I read this thinking someone was a about to become a dad unexpectedly. That sucks dude, but it could be a whole lot worse!

Personally, I use the Bunyaps pack, but the MF does have some nice looking weapons. Both packs contain weapons the other doesn't have. So mix and match, you'll get a nice hybrid going. Anyways, I digress, are you using the WOI weapons editor, or are you using the pre-WOI weapons editors? If you have the games patched to their most recent patches, you'll need to be using the WOI editor.

"You're gonna do what?!"

Oh sh*t! That freakin' sucks dude. None of it is recoverable?

Maybe he just thinks that the lite-simmers will find it excruciating since they can do just about everything else straight away and with great ease, where as refueling is a very precise proceedure. ...or maybe he had a bad experience with refueling in Afterburner... which was a mofo! I mean, we could guess at it all day. Personally, I'd dig it if it was introduced, but I'm not going to lose any sleep over what he adds or not. I've enjoyed what he's done so far (although I miss Snoopy), I don't think I'll dislike where it'll go.

So those Ka-52s are entering service? I was getting the impression it wasn't. It's a mean looking helicopter, I always thought it a shame that it was facing the possibility of being cancelled. Very nice shots Lindr2!

What terrain is that Stary?

Very tidy!

Very noice!

Update The bodycount now is at 130 people and according to sources, could rise up to 230 and so far, more than 750 homes have been destroyed. In Bendigo, a cigarette butt has been blamed for the loss of 50 homes.

Yeah, thought so. That's an ADG (Adgie) here. I think getting my gf to be cool with that is going to be a bit of an issue, but you're absolutely right, it's an important part of serving and the experience will be invaluable. I couldn't imagine joining only to avoid deploying whether it's regulars or reserves. I think she'll come around in the end, she's pretty level headed.

What's an AGR dude? I gotta feeling I know it by a different name like Adgie or something... But in any event, congrats on getting the transfer!

Yeah, it's pretty awful stuff, much worse than the Ash Wednesday Fires that raged across Victoria and South Australia practically encircled my hometown in '83. In Vic, towns like Kinglake and Marysville have for all intents and purposes, been wiped out. At the moment, 26 bushfires are burning through Vic alone and 12 of those are uncontained. The worst thing is that some of these fires are deliberate. Thing is, it's the conditions are perfect for a disastrous fire. We've had El Nino weather patterns (high, dry temps, little or no rain) in the South and South East for the better part of the last few years. It's truly horrible!

That's good to hear Muse! I used to love working in libraries, although, you'll have better reading material than my old one! Take care dude!

You're thinking too much in "real" terms as opposed to the "what ifs" that make this game great. Yeah, in RL, it was an absolute manity to deal with and proof of the "A cow is a racehorse designed by commitee" concept. Now, in the SFP, it's potential as a modern, dedicated shipboard bomber is greatly increased.

Oh, I know violence isn't the answer... see my tag.

Just curious, but does the F-117 have air brakes? I noticed their absence during approach after a sortie and it struck me. Is it just absent from the model, or does the RL aircraft lack them?

That's f***ing awful! I've sorta been wondering about that too. Just going by what I hear on BBC World and from what I hear from my pommy buds, I hear you guys have a real problem with the PC police at the moment right when you need some leadership and effective decision making to stamp out these little wannabe gangsta punks and thugs who seem to be running rampant at the moment. I mean, even today I hear about a story of some tween Sh*theads trying to roast a pair of puppies alive!! PUPPIES!(read it here). Personally, I hope the police get break off their leash and start breaking these little bastards' skulls!

Jeez... do they have to keep making them?? Oh, wait I forgot it's a new year. Time for Battlefield 2009.
