Absolutely agreed...!!! my grandparents lived after WWI and after our national tragedy. They were 12 sisters and brothers... Shoes? Only in winter and only for the biggest ones. Medicine? What is that? Even my mother walked 8km every day to elementary school in the late 50's. My fathers grandparents survived three wars, and two types of labour camps (1914-18, 1919-20, 1939-44, 1945-59). The life punished them all for something they never did. And still they died as honest people. Some of them, 6000km away from their homeland. As a personal code of honor, I stick to these examples. And, perhaps it's just the "noble blood"... but I don't believe in genetics. I believe in personality and exemplary parenthood.

And also, with the stock exchange manipulation after the battle of Waterloo, the banking system of Britain become property of the Rothschild family.... not only an empire but all of Europe started it's downfall to a bottomless financial abyss. And great wars.

Is this... Steel Fury a separate game? How can one get it? Is this the one with ARMA engine? It looks to me... I'm not into tanks too much, and ARMA is not really my genre (OFP was, however). But this looks good. And if the infantry part is also that good too, it really worth a try.

Hahaha ))))) You also have a PTSD? ))) We, forest lurkers, have different sickness... we sleep with guns in the bed )) Yes, new russian movies are like this.. Tad bit heroic.. sometimes a little lemonade... but spectacular without spending a small country's yearly GDP on making a film ))))) And what I appreciate more, that there is no such rush.... you know what I mean. Short cuts, missing links in the story... accelerated events - at the end you remember nothing about the movie.

well, they made it from a JS-II tank (that's why it has side armour - otherwise you could see the KV style wheel set ))) But it was intended to be a mystic "ghost" tank, so it's OK )) If there's any real life connection exists in this movie, Otto Carius' winter-camo Pz VI tiger it could be. Typical of soviet troops - they could more likely believe in a ghost tank than to admit that a tank ace can be that good )))

An interesting movie, in case you haven't seen it yet) https://docs.google.com/file/d/0By7I2IIHlQQjeDIyRTBsRndjVFk/edit?pli=1

In 1970, on our second largest river, the ice plug blocked the river at a railroad bridge... above the block, the water level was rising like 1meters per hour... time is important. We had such bombing in 1956 the last time, and it happened so fast even bombing came too late. Now, climate changed enough that the Danube never freezes completely

If there is no time, and if it is in a distant place... need airlift anyway. And it's a huge risk to sent a demo squad onto an icy river.

Gargghh... stop... for God's sake )))))))))) And don't you mention other things that might not work... I don't want to grow THAT old )))) Well the chances are low, anyway

I suppose they are FAB-250's with a slight delay set.... The bombs penetrate the ice and explode under the ice layer to throw the plates up. It was a doctrine for us, too in the 70's. They did in on the Tisza river when the great flood came. Problem comes when the ice stacks up and block river at the bridges. Those plugs have to be wired manually... have walk on ice using planks of wood, while other hold the rope... drill, pull the charge in with another rope... Thankfully we never had to do it. Brr

Huh, great find!!!! I liked the Indonesian craft... and also... F/B-24? I'm not fan of such but it looks great with a reasonable sense. I see more use of such craft than of the F-35.. but it's just my opinion worth 10 fillér )))

Pfff, what a circus for the big nothing...

Till I was in the army I also had a lot.... since I left, they all disappeared ))))))

That's similar to, when someone turns off heating for the night, or for the daytime when there's no one at home.... It takes much more energy to heat up a cold house than to maintain a 18-20C average all day...

B-52s are my nemesis... It's understandable that they are difficult to lock on, because of jammers and such. But in SF2 they have a lot of anomalies I can't understand... IR missiles always hit the same engine. After the first hit, the plane will be still flying with a half wing missing, but further missiles still want to hit the missing part - and fly through. Some missiles miss them altogether... unfortunately I forgot which ones, though. I had no time investigate on the spot. Some B-52 (modded??) are invisible to radars and cannot be locked on at all. They dump several tons of chaff and flares so there is no missile (including all kinds of SAMs too) which could hit them (only the late ones) due to the problem I wrote some posts earlier If you want a good target aircraft, use Tu-16 badgers, Vautours, early F-4 Phantoms and A-4 - depending on the desired maneuverability

Dinos... well, it could be worse, so don't worry. Imagine this sold to Disney, and they would start singing...

With such technology available, why don't they make a proper battletech movie?

The problem with the AI is that they always spot the launch. So there is almost no chance to ambush ... for example an F-105 or a Phantom with an AA-2. And for a double kill ... nothing. If I get close, like 1000meters, from where I get good chances, they will spot me and break off. So not an easy job to fine tune...

Some opinions were quite bad, saying the FM is poor... well... But how long we have to wait a Mi-24 DCS? I consider that 2EURs... thats a daily ration for me. At least I lost some weight ))))))

Certainly, I am doing several, but there's a little break, as I was in Ukraine and... distracted ( I have all possible russian books, that's not a prob. I invite you to the Weapons topic right now...

- AA-2 has been fixed (but don't expect miracles), AA-8 is the only missile still having stock values and perfect. - AA-3 Anab series has been fixed also, for FLOGGER23's updates on the Su-11/15 series. More fine tuning will follow (speed) but otherwise, quite good. They will get proper cockpit, so don't worry. - AA-7 Apex are bad, I'm working on it. I had to translate some russian books first. - AA-10 are so so, speeds and some guidance issues but usable. - AA-11 are also OK, I'm adding a late version, but has to be done the way it would not be over-effective - MiG-23/27 series are under work, MUCH improvement underway. Yes, i could use help with testing, I am making a Red side weapon pack, with standardized stuff. There will be Air-Ground ones, too, so saddle up for mig-27 too)))
