  1. Well, I'd disagree with you there too. Nobody builds a sub that goes down 600 ft without planning to spend a little time down there. Most of the sub yarns I've read they usually regularly dived to 200-300 ft just to cruise about. Gets you well out of the surface swell, if nothing else. Air patrol really came into its own when they finally got a radar set that would fit in a plane. Perhaps Bomber 2, AF 2 should really nail them. But let's not forget, submarines are the capital ships of our day. A Stirling engine sub is a bugger, even now.
  2. The turd didn't fall far from the outhouse there, eh?
  3. Have you considered selection bias? You're incorrect btw, and I have pointed that out before. Below 100 feet, your chances of being visually spotted by air are nil.
  4. World In Flames Honch, when playing your mod, I had the Mannerheim HQ stuck on the fortification line by Leningrad. Needs to be moved to Helsinki or it really buggers up the Finns. And it seems a bit odd to have the HQ up front there with 3 corps behind it.
  5. Two Minnesotans walk into a pet shop near Duluth. They head to the bird section and Sven says to Ole, "Dat's dem." The owner comes over and asks if he can help them. "Yah sure, ve'll take four of dem dere little budgies in dat cage up dere." says Sven. The owner puts the budgies in a paper bag. Ole and Sven pays for the birds, leave the shop and get into Sven's pick-up and drive to the top of some big cliffs near Two Harbors. At the cliffs, Sven looks down at the 1000 foot drop and says, "Dis looks like a grand place." He takes two birds out of the bag, puts them on his shoulders and jumps off the cliff. Ole watches as Sven falls all the way to the bottom, killing himself dead. Looking down at the remains of his best pal, Ole shakes his head and says: "By yumpin' yiminy, dis budgie jumping is too dangerous for me." Dere's MORE! Moments later Knute who's been to the pet shop too, arrives at the cliffs. He walks up to the edge of the cliff carrying another paper bag and a shotgun. "Hey, Ole. Vatch dis." Knute says. He takes a parrot from the bag and throws himself over the edge of the cliff. Ole watches as half way down, Knute takes the gun and shoots the parrot and continues to plummet down and down until he hits the bottom and breaks every bone in his body. Ole shakes his head and says, "And I'm never trying dat parrotshooting either." BUT VAIT!!! Dere's MORE, you betcha!! Ole is just getting over the shock of losing two friends when Lars appears. He's also been to the pet shop and is carrying a paper bag and pulls out a chicken. Lars grasps the chicken by the legs, holds it over his head, and hurls himself off the cliff and disappears down and down and hits a rock and breaks his spine. Once more Ole shakes his head...."First der was Sven with his budgie jumping, den Knute parrotshooting.,.and now Lars hengliding....."
  6. There can only be one. MACKENTHUN'S SAUSAGE & DELI St. Bonifacius MN 952 446-1234 Don't know what they feed the critters, but who cares? They grill up nice as is. Not near you of course, but conveniently located right by me. Neener, nee..er..oink, oink, oink.
  7. No wonder this Monday sucks in particular. Berli must have saved up that old man B-day spleen for the occasion.
  8. Why? So you can get thrown into the back with all the prisoners? You'd like that wouldn't you sweet cheeks. </font>
  9. I wonder how many times I can get the prison bus to roll.
  10. Yeah, but how long does it take to train a hawk? A lot longer than it takes to put together another model airplane.
  11. Yeah. Right up till I put superglue and razorblades on the wings. Pretty good vid though.
  12. Only if it stayed shallow. Even then, you had to be pretty lucky to spot it. btw, German boats went down 600 ft. More than deep enough. The problem lies if you're operating in shallow water in the first place.
  13. I don't think that's enough of a deterrent. The Italians are pretty pathetic, better to be killing Germans.
  14. Perhaps, if you increase the chance those ships go Free French (by requiring them to be in a British port when France goes) it would dampen the suicidal tendencies. A player wouldn't toss them aside so lightly. Take away a UK ship to keep things balanced and now you really want them around. Also, I would try to figure out some way to keep the Med portion in the Med by preventing passage through Gibraltar. No way to simulate a Mers-el-Kabir, so they should just go when France goes.
  15. Enjoy filing the unlawful detainer. To bad it's winter, eh? Only six months to go!
  16. Plus, amphib doesn't move as far as transport and costs much more.
  17. Yep. WWI. Was supposed to make war impossible when you could see what the other side was doing. The Wright Brothers might have been a little off on that.
