Darkhorse 1-6 16 Posted November 20, 2010 (edited) I hate to say it, but Clancy also wrote that scenario. Except there were live torpedos. I don't rememberthe book, but I believe we were doing joint ops with japan, and they sunk 2 subs and crippled an aircraft carrier, managed to pass the carrier incident off as a training accident, until somebody realized the subs were gone... Ya see, one reason he I like his books is because people die in it. He even killed off the president, the vice presidebt, most of the senate, and almost all of congress, in one stunning blow. (I am a bit biased though. "The only good politician is a dead politician". ;) Also... in most of his books there is no "invincible american warmachine". Even the tech he invents takes a crapload of losses (frisbee type aircraft in Red Storm Rising). Of course, if your calling an american Armored Cavalry Regiment invincible, you deserve a cookie. Blood and Steel! (I have no life, I've read most, if not all, of his books. He is a damn good author. Clancy, W.E.B. Griffin, Clive Cussler, and Robert Ludlum are among the best writers in the world.) OT: @Fail Cakes - Nice looking Eagle. How many polys is it at currently? @Vilas - What countries use that helicopter? Edited November 20, 2010 by Darkhorse 1-6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

noubernou 77 Posted November 21, 2010 I once talked to a sailor who was with an american carrier group during a international joint maneuvre. There a german dieselelectric submarine was actually able to get the carrier in its sights (and fire an imaginary torpedo), without being detected. There was a lot of fury over this in naval command, and said sailor was like "well reality isnt a Tom Clancy book". Not to go too off topic... I agree with most of what you say, but check out Red Storm Rising. There is plenty of Russian kick-buttery, including Nimitz getting royally beat up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stagler 39 Posted November 23, 2010 I decided to turn my Desert Russian Naval Infantry into a naval infantry pack with woodland units as well. Coming soon yo. Coming up the beach underfire from CDF artillery. Securing the beachhead whilst the fleet provides support. Mechanised Squad on patrol in Chernarus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
