Imposter! What have you done with our beloved Dorosh McGrog?

One Hind even shot down an Iranian McDonnell Douglas F-4D Phantom jet fighter on 26 October 1982 Oh my god. [ March 07, 2007, 04:05 PM: Message edited by: Londoner ]

Most suprising!

Mikey - why is your profile so obscure?? Dammit man the great unwatched demand answers!

Basic first aid is hardly rocket science Mr Dietrich!

Hmmm interesting, ta......

Hahaha not a bad little rap!

Why not?

Don't the M1A2s have a secondary diesel engine for use when stationary?

Ehem, yes, you're not alone sir....

Wasn't that Panorama? Was an interesting doc wasn't it. The AC was Dutch IIRC? What suprised me was the mortar/MG incident. They're sitting in the middle of nowhere in the land rovers, zero cover, taking mortars and mg fire, and in the most disinterested manor you can imagine the sgt says "we're being bracketed". Sure it looked to be extreme range for the hmg, 1-2km but the mortars were still landing fairly close. In a bloody land rover I wouldn't have hung around!

Hey hey, looks interesting, cheers Pat!

Na, dental nurse with aspirations of grandeur.

Nooooo! Really hoped this would be sorted, firing on fixed lines is such an integral part of the HMGs role, that is a shame!

On the other hand designers might want to simulate "in transit" scenarios, at least in part, and it is after all plausible, if not particularly sensible or practical. Additionally it can't be exploited, even in CMx1 look what happens to exposed infantry on vehicles when they get a whiff of small arms fire, and surely it can't be difficult/time consuming to code?

It was represented in CMx1. Exposure varied according to angle of attack. You muppet, is there no end to your nonsense....

And if memory serves correctly we fired some Tomahawks at Serb targets during Kosovo, maybe Splendid again?

Pete, Not sure if that's entirely true. Didn't HMS Splendid fire 15-20 cruise missiles at Iraqi targets in '03?

Like Peter said. Just seems like an awfully expensive delivery system for a handful of cruise missiles.

Talking of pointless subs, why the hell are we spending a couple of billion on these?? http://www.royal-navy.mod.uk/server/show/ConWebDoc.5128

I bet you are.

Hahaha, defty put Mr Cairns! Now get back to counting those beans.

Goes without saying Capey old boy!
