Well, you can track down Yamato 2199 fairly easily. The animation wasn't cheap at all, if that's what you mean.

I frankly don't fancy anime. Except from Dragon Ball (forget the awfull French or English dub, get the japanese version. And it's free of censorship), because I grew up with it. Same goes with Harlock. I am more familiar with earlier versions (we call them Albator 78 & Albator 84 in France). It's quite a dark and adult world and the 78 version is frankly quite deep. I don't know much about later versions that are graphically speaking more close to what you saw. As for Space Battleship Yamato (Star Blazzers in the U.S.), the 70's and 80's versions are unknown to me. But the 2013 version "Space Battleship Yamato 2199" is stunning. Well, there are some anime clichés, but it was a very good surprise! Here's a quick sample https://youtu.be/8b6q0swc8MM

I don't know if Captain Harlock (Albator in France) anime or Space Battleship Yamato (especially the last version 2199, which is pure awesomeness) are popular in the U.S., but this is very close to it.

That's plainly awesome.

Dead is Dead The Thread......
Emp_Palpatine replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
The ask for help thingy is way less efficient when you are in the 50's or 60's: most of the time , the friendlies will fail to detect the ennemies or come in fighting range too late. Late 80's and 90's game isn't as well modeled. We have issue, for instance, with active radar missiles. And AFAIk, it's a one bullet gun. I've never seen it working twice in a campaign. -

Could some friend here post some screenies of both Gerwin's and Baltika's terrains in order to choose? -

Also, the said state had its "own" flag (well, defaced french one actually). Could be fun for markings. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saar_Protectorate -

Spiritual Successors to Jane's IAF and USAF?
Emp_Palpatine replied to OrangeFr3ak92's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
IMHO, the SF2 series IS the successor to Jane's Fighter Anthology. -
Ils n'ont peut-être pas envie de confier du matériel de dernière génération à un pays aussi volatile que l'Egypte. On peut le comprendre. Rien ne dit que ce pays ne sera pas en guerre civile dans cinq ans. Ou devenu hostile. L'Egypte est aussi un client fidèle depuis les années 1970. Enfin, les américains livrent leurs appareils avec tout un tas de conditions et de moyens de contrôle. Avec l'état de désespoir actuel français, un client peut avoir l'avion, la technologie, les transferts et les fesses de Julie Gayet. La politique étrangère française étant devenue si erratique et désespérée, tout ça est parfaitement cohérent. L'objectif et le pari, c'est de convaincre les autres clients et de lancer -enfin- une dynamique commerciale positive. En croisant les doigts pour que les gains compensent le coût de l'affaire égyptienne.
-
L'Egypte en paie 50% (je suppose que ces 50% viennent en fait d'Arabie et des Etats-Unis) et emprunte à des taux compétitifs pour le reste. En gros, c'est la COFACE, donc l'Etat, qui paie les 50% restant en espérant que l'Egypte rembourse un jour. C'est effectivement.... conceptuel. Mais je pense qu'il s'agit là d'un choix politique : débloquer la première vente pour espérer convaincre les autres clients potentiels. Lesquels sont, au passage, meilleurs payeurs.
-
Eh bien, il y a une vieille tradition égyptienne : faire payer ses commandes d'armement par les autres. Des Tchécoslovaques aux Saoudiens en passant par les Américains, je ne crois pas qu'ils aient payé beaucoup d'appareils de leur aviation pléthorique eux-mêmes. Et cette commande n'a pas l'air de faire exception, Riad paierait.

Anyone Want To Start Dead is Dead Again?
Emp_Palpatine replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
When I finish my current Phoney war campaign (or when I am dead...) and start the Campaign of France one, I'll do it too. I've already flown 13 missions, got shot down once by a damned rear gunner (no harm to me) and got something like 20 germans. -

That's the way I always play. Hence my tendencies not to finish campaigns. -
