If it drives I've seen it roll. The military is dangerous even when people aren't shooting at you. Call me when they start flipping over in the motor pool.

The Army puts these things out for everywhere they go. There was one for Germany as well. "Germans don't consider staring to be rude and will often watch people for entertainment. Germans will not form lines for things like the bus or in stores. Many Americans will be skipped over because they expect to be next when, in fact, there is no order. The Polizei WILL give you a ticket for "camping" in the left lane as it is for passing only. They can also pull you over without cause to conduct random checks of papers and licenses." At least those are the ones I remember. [ November 23, 2005, 03:49 PM: Message edited by: sgtgoody (esq) ]

I had all the Star Wars flight sims. I also had the entire Wing Commander series. It was the game that would make me upgrade my computer with every release. I used to call it my $2000 game.

AI assaulting one of my fortified positions. They got hung up in the wire and my 81mm spotter firing on a TRP dumped his entire load of 400 rounds. Something like 250 kills and 4 mortars.

My Hosingen Op is available at TPG. The map is from various sources including 1:25000 topo of area and old building layouts.

No, you need to have sunflower seeds anywhere the squad stops for more than two seconds. That and guys visiting bushes and corners.

Which is why you can't base policy on opinion polls. If the press were to start harping about how mean it is to shoot people are we supposed to stop? I guarantee you the other guy won't.

Every word of this thread is personal opinion unless you are talking about the technical aspects of how the programs function. I know several people who are convinced that Mario Brothers is the greatest game ever created, and not all of them children. Any time you present your preference, reasoned or not, it is opinion.

Yeah it seems that all the gaming mags have adopted the "all FPS all the time" philosophy. If the game requires thought it might get a 70 or 80 rating but even the most vanilla FPS is assured an 85 or better. One thing to consider when you think of the things still on your hard drive, would you think those games were as good if you were just buying them. There are games that I absolutly love because I know how good they are (European Air War is still my favorite flight sim) but if I bought them today for the first time I would probably think them way to simplistic. Another thing to remember is that these are all just our personal opinions. There is no need to act as though we are spouting facts here.

I guess you mean the barrels that you see sometimes on the back of Soviet tanks. They were extra tanks like drop tanks and could be dropped before combat. The actual tanks were under the armor with the rest of the tank's working parts. If you hit them you could cause an explosion that could indeed kill the tank. Most likely thought you would spill the fuel and kill the engine. Just as hitting the oil supply will cause the engine to sieze eventually.

Must have missed part of your post. Where did this come from tom?

Will these be included in the game. Part of the new Digitization was to integrate the GPS and various laser devices to instantly provide targeting data. This should be even more developed by '07.

Hey Angryson, you keep your head down over there. Great pictures.

How about the "cool" tortise shell ones?

A factory-issued hollowpoint would be no more acceptable than a field-modified one, AIUI. </font>

One thing I did learn. Give a Joe anything and he will figure out how to stick it on his head.

Guess I was ahead of my time.

Again, there is no convention against targeting anything on the battlefield with anything else as long as it is an unmodified, issued round. If you want to fire a TOW at a lone infantryman go right ahead. Stupid, but not against the "Laws of Land Warfare."

That's because every Marine pilot has gone through infantry training and so has a first hand knowledge of what they are expected to do. The Air Force considers itself above such trivial matters as the needs of the PBI.

What about for tanks? </font>

The Army finally realized that if there is a rock, stick, or piece of glass within 1000 meters of your location it will beam itself right under your knee when you hit the dirt. My last NTC I tried to be slick and sewed some pieces of sleeping mat into the knees of my BDU's. It made my pants just tight enough that the first time I took a knee they ripped. As anyone who has worn BDU's can tell you, the first place they rip is the crotch. So I had to run around in crotchless BDU's until they got us our duffle bags a week later. Drafty to say the least.

Amen brother. If the M16 had as big a flash as Hollywood thinks it does I would be blind by now. To say nothing about my time behind the pig.

The prohibition is against modifying rounds. Other than chemical weapons there is no issued ammo that is illegal for use against human targets. If you take a normal 7.62 round and turn it into a hollow point then you are in violation. Caliber has nothing to do with it. I have never been able to understand why the myth got started that it was illegal to shoot a man with a 12.7 mm round but ok to shoot him with a 155mm round.

The Stryker isn't a tank. Tanks are named for generals, APC's usually aren't named, just a number. Bradley got a name because it has a main gun and is a fighting vehicle not just an infantry taxi.

Plus if you have a problem with the disk you have to send it to CDV rather than BFC. Still I can't complain, thanks to the CMBB retail version I am now a published author.
