  1. John Lithgow's performance of him in The Crown is also worth the watch.
  2. Why are we here? Because we're here. Roll the bones! (Shamelessly stolen from a Rush song)
  3. Try right clicking on the game icon on your desktop. This will open the game folder, which should have the activation shortcut in it. Use the game code that came with the battlepack to activate the greyed out scenarios and campaigns.
  4. This is more anecdotal than anything. But it makes sense that a Platoon Sgt would be able to call for fires in a US unit, he's probably been in for several years and is most likely the one who taught his LT how.
  5. You are absolutely correct. I was a HAWK missile crewman way back in the day, and there was only enough fuel for about 30 seconds of powered flight. The missile went the rest of the way to the target on pure momentum.
  6. They look good, but they aren't regulation. No Marine Sergeant would allow his men to wear unit patches like- God forbid- the ARMY! lol
  7. One small nit pick on your Marine uniforms Oleksanr, current Marine uniforms do not have unit patches at all. Other than that, awesome!
  8. Those are some excellent mods Oleksandr! Very nice work. I'll give them a shot. Thank you.
  9. They were a bit cranky, for sure! These were old school M2s from the '80s and the seating was quite cramped. It also didn't help that it was about a hundred degrees Farenheit and we'd been up for about three days straight at that point!
  10. I can say from experience that Bradleys can move quite well in reverse. I was a Bradley gunner during a rotation at the National Training Center in the late '80s. We were part of a movement to contact exercise when we encountered an M1 modified to look like a T72 in a twisty wadi. Our vehicle commander (who was a rather excitable kind of guy) started shouting "Reverse, reverse! over the intercom and our driver just hammered the gas, we flew backwards fast enough to bounce my head off the gunners sight! In all seriousness, US defensive doctrine does use dug in fighting positions that have two levels a turret down level for spotting and a hull down for engaging targets, this requires a lot of back and forth movement within the fighting position. BTW we got away from the tank, and shortly after our dismounts killed it.
  11. Olexandr, have you considered combining these handy tips into a PDF, or something and releasing them as a download? Im willing to bet a lot of folks would love something along that line.
  12. He'd probably get a flattened nose as well.
  13. Heinrich excellent work as usual. As a Yank I loved the accent spelling!
  14. This is Keime's mod made from some CMBS flavor objects replaced by the pickups and cars from CMSF. I'm not sure if it's at CMODS III or not.
  15. Just downloaded and opened this map. All I can say is WOW! You have obviously put a lot of time and effort into this. It turned out beautifully.
  16. Abrams: gas turbine. Bradley : 600 HP Cummins diesel with hydraulic transmission.
  17. The groan of the tracks, when an Abrams starts moving is actually louder than the engine. a Bradley on the other hand screams like a Banshee.
