From Antony Beevor's book Stalingrad, the Fateful Siege: 1942-1943:

"The 22nd Panzer Division, as a reserve formation, had been starved of fuel, and during its long period of immobility, mice had sought shelter from the weather inside the hulls. They had gnawed through the insulation of electric cables and no replacements were immediately available." (p.231)

The 22nd is the only unit mentioned in the book with that problem,

I'm not going to be able to wait for Ojcar to update his campaigns, I'll do as 33LIMA did and change it myself and take to the skies with this plane...although I think I'll start a little earlier than he did.

Thanks for all your work!

Wow. That's a sad sight.

Oh let's see...Battlefield 1942 with the mods Desert Combat, Eve of Destruction and Forgotten Hope (the latter I sometimes play on the PixelFighter.com server). That's all I have installed at the moment, Rome Total War, SW Empire at War and both SW Battlefronts I had to uninstall to make way for all my TW installs. :P And I do play both versions of Left4Dead, but at a friends house since my old rig can't handle it.

Thank you Stephen!

Downloaded like a charm this time, thanks Eric!

And tomorrow is Revenge of the Fifth...

LOL you beat me to it.

Favorite character: Toss up between Vader and Obi-Wan (depending on what mood I'm in :P)

Favorite ship: Venator Class Star Destroyer.

Favorite Quote: "I find your lack of faith disturbing."

Bummer. First heard the Beasties back when they were still a hardcore punk band in the early 80's. RIP MCA.

BF1942 is the only EA title I still play thanks to the mods Forgotten Hope, Eve of Destruction, BF 1918, BG 42 and Desert Combat, not because of the vanilla version. After trying BF2 I gave up on the series, and EA.

So I guess I'm not surprised either.

As far as the formations, there's no fix, although most of the 2-seaters I fly seem to do alright in that respect.

For the tracers, try this effects pack by Starry: http://combatace.com/files/file/9786-first-eagles-effects-pack-update-1/ There's a tracer mod included.

I can imagine if you don't have a lot of the planes already for the Armchair campaigns the set up can seen a bit overwhelming, but believe me, it's worth the effort.

I may have to check out the SARCASM mod now.

For any two seater pilot in the game, flying any plane, best tactic against fighters is to dive like hell gaining speed until treetop. Enemies will not attack you from below and you'll give your gunner maximun field of fire. Some ultra aggressive enemies can dive into the ground as well... Then, use your speed to return home, making hanges in direction and height all time. Don't forget your mission. You have to bomb and return, or bring your front pictures at home, not shot down planes!. The DHs are second to none in the game to do this kind of tactics.

Yup, that's my 2-seater tactics in a nutshell, though when flying some of the slower ones you do come home with a lot of holes and get a dirty look from the airframe rigger.

Yeah, like whiteknight said, not a big deal. Thanks as always for all your work!

Avoiding the 3D movies like the plague. I have all 6 theatrical versions of the SW movies and that's enough for me. I have to admit though I really don't like the whole 3D movie thing anyway...personally think it's just as much a gimmick now as it was in the 50's.

Sweet! Time to pound some ground!

Thank you!

Thanks for the heads up whiteknight, going to D/L it now!

Sweet!

Thank you so much for this one. I have not flown a Gunbus since the days I used to have Richthofen's Skies...which was a LONG time ago. Very happy to see it now in FE.

Check the decals.ini, sometimes you have to increase the DecalMaxLOD if it's at 3 or below. Setting it to 4 works for me. Otherwise make sure the path to the D folder is correct. Hope this helps.

Just surviving in a Harry Tate is an adventure. I find myself just kicking the rudder around when Huns are about, just trying to give my gunner a clear shot, cause you're just not going to outmaneuver anyone, that's for sure. I've had some wonderful exercises in hedgehopping home with the bus full of holes. Skim the trenches and land near the balloon line. Call the squadron to send a truck to pick it up.

I seem to do that with any 2-seater, especially doing recon. In single missions you always seem to get a swarm of enemy fighters right near the objective, what I've been doing is give my wingman the command to return to base and hope he takes some of them with him, then on the leg home hit the deck and keep giving my gunner as much of a field of fire as possible. Works most of the time.

I put Peter01's FM in when I installed the RE8 package, and it's flying great in hard mode. Flying FE2 here.

Once again, thanks for another great addition to the FE plane stable!

Sweet cockpit, thanks!

I've heard of it, but I've heard nothing good.

I still play it once in awhile, although I only fly bombers for the most part. Never got the hang of dogfighting in Il-2.
