Jinro Posted August 28, 2010 Posted August 28, 2010 Man, I'm really wishing the afterburners in FC2 looked more realistic :P
topol-m Posted August 28, 2010 Posted August 28, 2010 Man, I'm really wishing the afterburners in FC2 looked more realistic :P I suggest you try Oxyd`s afterburner mod. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

zakobi Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 Haven't seen that type of fin before on a missile...
topol-m Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 Haven't seen that type of fin before on a missile... That`s the AAM-3: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsubishi_AAM-3 It will be replaced by the much more advanced Thrust Vector Control equipped AAM-5: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AAM-5 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
zakobi Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 Are the japanese forces allowed to participate in international operation?
Jinro Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 Technically, no. However the Ground Self-Defense Forces spent a number of years in Samawa, Iraq doing humanitarian work. They were armed, but they were escorted by Australian (and Dutch? Danish? The people from Holland....) forces, since the Japanese constitution forbids engaging any enemy unless on Japanese soil.
mvsgas Posted September 6, 2010 Posted September 6, 2010 L_SxqEA2M-M So many aircraft with an easy button :D To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..
pauldy Posted September 7, 2010 Posted September 7, 2010 If I recall, the F-2 is one of the most expensive fighter jets around.. something like 2nd to the F-22 What makes it so expensive? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Pilotasso Posted September 7, 2010 Posted September 7, 2010 (edited) If I recall, the F-2 is one of the most expensive fighter jets around.. something like 2nd to the F-22 What makes it so expensive? It was redesigned to be much more in composite materials than its F-16 older brother, and required extensive re-engineering. Its also heavily subcontracted both in japan and in the US for parts manufacture. Its production run is low and investment for tooling and engineering very high. The costs are spread in fewer aircraft. And it has a set of entirely new avionics including an AESA radar which at the time of induction was an innovation. Edited September 7, 2010 by Pilotasso .
nscode Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 L_SxqEA2M-M 2:36 - I hope that someone explains the meaning of a red cross to them before they go to combat :crazy: Never forget that World War III was not Cold for most of us.
topol-m Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 I guess its for better visibility of the target. It`s transparent and the dust is making it even more harder to spot. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
zakobi Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 Is there any difference on the Japanese AH-64D and U.S.'s?
topol-m Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 Is there any difference on the Japanese AH-64D and U.S.'s? The difference in the cost is clear, but I haven`t seen a comparison between the american and the japanese Longbow. I even don`t know what block the japanese ones are. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
mvsgas Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 (edited) 2:36 - I hope that someone explains the meaning of a red cross to them before they go to combat :crazy: I highly doubt they will need explanation, they are just shooting at a target that happens to have a red cross. Besides, not all ambulances are mark with red crosses.
