Looks way cool. Looking forward to getting home and downloading it!

I'm having a lot of issues getting it installed as well. I haven't had much time to dig into it yet though. Sounds like there may be an update over the last couple days? I may wait a week or two and see if the bugs get ironed out.

Tragic. A sad reminder that aviation can be a fickle mistress. My heart goes out to those soldiers/marines and their families.

Outstanding work, as always. Just started playing through the 5th campaign. Great work!

Looks magnificent. I have it downloading as we speak. Just to be clear - no campaigns have been updated yet, correct? This is (essentially) a planeset/mapset with a quick mission builder?

Wow, I had no idea this was in the pipeline. So are there custom campaigns to go along with it? Or is it just using the mission building?

....is this another piece to the puzzle?

I've only ever heard good things about him as a person. Rest in peace, sir.

Looks pretty cool. Definitely worth following.

Just started in on these. Absolutely fantastic!

So I just started playing War Thunder. I know it's absolutely ridiculous in flight model sometimes, but boy is it a good time. Plus, the graphics look pretty solid and you can eventually get a wide variety of tanks and planes to mess around with. Apparently there are campaigns too, but I've never played them. Anyways - anyone else here play? I'm always looking for wingmen. My War Thunder name is Yukon13.

Wait - Is the Madagascar thing considered small potatoes?!

Tanks have actually become my favorite part. If you play the "realistic" tank battles, everyone starts in a tank. You have to earn so many "spawn" points before you can switch to your aircraft. So it generally works out pretty well from what I've seen. I love the tank battles...it has a great damage model, and the graphics down in the dirt and grass are impressive.

Voted. I must ask, is this the project you were hinting at in the DiD thread?

"killed in execution". That's awesome. I used to think the same, and still do. I've never been a huge fan of multiplayer. But somehow War Thunder has broken through the cracks on that. I just LOVE how the engine looks and the planeset. Anyways - not for everyone. And I DO wish they had some sort of campaign or SP offline option. But hey, that's what I have IL-2 and SF2 for anyways, right?

I don't know if it is so much the flight model as it is the control scheme. It feels wonky when you use a joystick. You can use the mouse/keyboard pretty successfully, but that feels wrong somehow playing a flight game. You know I've never checked out the game forums. I just jump into the chat and stuff when I play on the game and it seems pretty good. But maybe I'll check out the forums and take a look.

You get to see a tiny little bit of Abrams action in the Denzel Washington movie "Courage under Fire". Pretty good movie too, but the tank combat is limited to just a few minutes in the beginning of the movie.

Looks like a manatee. But weirdly, I think it's beautiful...

Nice, I'll do a KAW campaign. Maybe RF-51s or F-82.

Awwwww yeahhhhh Wrench! Great work!

I really enjoyed the movie, but the brutality was a bit difficult to watch. I definitely thought it was worth watching once, but don't see that I'll watch it again. I thought the acting was superb, and that the tactics were "real enough" to be convincing for me. I mean, the Tiger commander might have just made a bad call, right? I think we've all probably had or seen officers who've made bad decisions. To me, the Sherman just capitalized on the Tiger's bad move. Either way...it was a good film. I didn't think Shia could act until I saw him in this movie. As for Norman...I don't know if soldiers ever forced a guy like that to kill, but I do know first hand that soldiers like him exist and do not want to kill.

I believe there is a free to play version of ROF, right? I'd suggest giving that shot just to make sure. But I reckon it'd probably work. I don't have any solid answer for you though.

I don't know of any spyplane campaigns. There are some recon campaigns in the Nato Fighters mod and Korean War mod. A couple different recon planes, but no U2 or SR-71 that I know of.

I'm sorry to hear that you've got to head back in for surgery. Good luck, I hope it goes well. As for the planned mission sets, those sound fantastic! I'm particularly stoked for the non-alliance/non-imperial sets, as well as the Bacta Wars sets...I think those will be AWESOME. I have very limited experience with any sort of modding, but if you need a hand, I'm willing to try and jump in. Again - Good luck with the surgery!
