hahaha, that was terrible

I was thinking along those lines myself EthrealN Hope you oldies don't remember playing on that game!

'An ad hominem argument, also known as argumentum ad hominem (Latin: "argument to the man", "argument against the man") consists of replying to an argument or factual claim by attacking or appealing to a characteristic or belief of the source making the argument or claim, rather than by addressing the substance of the argument or producing evidence against the claim.' You are discrediting CyBerkut's point by implying that he plays in Arcade Mode.

Give yourself a hug, Ego

I think we can all disagree that it's 'slightly more authentic' than pushing, as most people have said it is neither more nor less authentic. Is a Toyota Pickup or a Fiat Panda more suited to landing on the moon? It's the same futile argument seeing as a throttle is not a collective. I think use it however you want, and if you do feel it's more realistic i'm glad that it helps you feel immersed. I don't mind your opinion, but you repeated it, apparently in response to CyBerkut mentioning he pushed the throttle. You could have edited your original post but you didn't. The only reason I can think that you'd do this (with an insult attached) is to make yourself feel superior. Lobo_63 said the same comment as you but used humour rather than his ego, and this is why you've got into hot water.

Sod it, i'll trade your Leopard for a Challenger. And whilst on the subject, if all of the aforementioned tanks are never going to be used in a conventional battle, I will raise you a Merkava. I'd rather be cramped in that than stuck in a Bradley/Warrior/BMP with RPG's coming at me. Ahem, what are the chances of a full scale manouver war with tanks as the central component if Iran was invaded from Iraq, following a large military buildup on both sides? Cue fireworks.

+1 Ruprecht, to resort to snobbery by implying that people who push to increase engine power should stick to Arcade Mode is ridiculous. I'm taking it you haven't mapped ANY controls on your Hotas that are different to RL, and instead use the clickable cockpit (which in itself is not realistic, as it is in fact more difficult than in RL).

Now THAT's market research! jk :)

Radar or not, IR missiles on a helicopter would be WVR only and therefore slewable to the HMS/skhval. A radar might help in 'over the shoulder' launches I suppoooose.. :)

Think of the state of Argentinian munitions in the Falklands war (a lot of dumb bombs hit our ships without exploding)! Corroded fuses etc, even 'simple' weaponry has a shelf life. All of the cold war stockpiles won't be so healthy - I presume the ones used in the Georgian war were the small percentage it was worth maintaining. Good link Diveplane, it makes you sick doesn't it to think of all the mess that comes second priority.

Fedor, is this any more correct than the blanket statement referring to AA missiles?

I remember doing this with M1 Tank Platoon lol, that taught me a lesson or two!

Hahahaha good stuff

Also please can AI have actual formations depending on space available? So far it seems tanks only advance in close-knit column (trail) formation, I can't see how the rear tanks fire on the enemy.

Is that cool or what.

Imprecivetivety?

My mind has drawn a blank mate, i'm sorry. Even Dr.Google didn't give me any inspiration. This is depressing lol mind you it did come up with a funny MySpace thing http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=115487704

mon poisson ét pantalon??

I thought somone would know what I was on about lol What are you on about Monotwix?

Funny when you think that Police helicopters have it.

Danger, have you read all 21 pages of this thread as well as the god-knows-how-many of the other replicated thread?

lol good point Veljko, it has nothing directly to do with them, my apologies (I was going off a memory which was obviously quite poor!). Apparently Putin started fortnightly Russian air patrols again in 2007, for the first time since 1992.

Come on, sign in if you like 'em Got Slightly Stoopid on now, it's me Going Out music lol. What I got..

Fingers crossed there's some software out that'll do it Popshot, i'm sure there is. Got all latest drivers and software mate?

Which campaign? Is it a training or combat mission?
