Black Hawk Down

Almost right ACTSMILEY - except for a few cases such as the following (they r gonna b pissed for this ) Ruskiesrule CaptainKickass and a couple of others that I can't remember the names of.... *Besides, the Irish have the best - oh no, wait a minute, we don't...

Thanks STT, Have Winter Kolgujev now.... BRILLIANT!! Thanks goes to Ash for making an Arctic Armour Pack as well.... Would someone compile some Desert Vehicles for a Desert Armour Pack for STT's Desert Malden?

No, you prat Jamesia. They're talking about the Gulf War Crisis MOD demo that a few ppl have downloaded. Try reading the posts before you slag them off.... Prat.

Das Boot and Stalingrad are the most gritty and realistic war movies so far, no question.... Oh, and Bravo Two Zero: I know Chris Ryan (anyone heard of him? ) and he reckons that Andy McNab developed this grudge against him after the war, because Chris got away and he didn't. His book and the film based on the book is an INACCURATE depiction of what happened because it is from his biased viewpoint, and, since he didn't get away, I'm more inclined to believe Chris' version of events. Now all of the above is just my opinion, your welcome to hail it as "the best" "most realistic" etc but frankly, I couldn't give a toss, my dear. Black Hawk Down is based on a book by Mark Bowden, I book I have read and think it is the best book description of a b@lls-out firefight I have ever read. If the film-makers stick to the book, its a classic in the making...

Black Hawk Down will be the first film to 100% accurately depict fire-fights and bullet-damage. Why? because it is a true story of something that happened in 1993, so most of the guys are still alive and helped with the film as advisors. Directed by Ridley Scott (yaaaaaaaaay!!!!) Produced by Jerry Bruckheimer (nooooooooo!!!)

Have d/l it, but can't get it to work Every time I start a mission with it the game crashes, saying it is a "bad model". (?!) Anyway, if you can help, let me know...

This is, hands down the best island I've downloaded. (The others I have so far are Nature Kolgujev, Snow Everon, and the Training Island ) Haven't got Kegety's Winter Islands yet, are they any good? Also, please email me if you need a tester for your Desert vehicles Select This!! The BMP looks great. I've only had the island for a day, but I've already made a mission, based on the conflict in Kashmir. Keep up the GREAT work, STT. ))) Seb

Nice one Barret, this is the 1st time on this forum that I've seen someone suggest a reasonable, realistic and easily applicable addon vehicle. *(Also, I hadn't thought of that:) ) Yeah, I think its a good idea, the runways ARE big enuff, plus it's a slow enuff plane to use in OFP. Also, it could be used purely for eye-candy, like the LST, or in cutscenes: Imagine one where a bunch of Paras drop onto the airfield in Everon. [sound of drooling] awllllllllll )

"BHD,where you stationed?" Can't tell you, in actuality, but OFFICIALLY our base is the Curragh, although when we come back from leave/holiday whatever, we go to [censored, sorry folks!]

DamageInc has made a good point (maybe without knowing it) I'm in the Irish Army Ranger Wing (ARW), and we NEVER, EVER use tracer rounds, because we believe it is more advatageous to the enemy rather then us, because it allows them to find where we are shooting from (duh). However, when I was in the regulars, (for 2 + 1/2 yrs) we used tracer rnds all d time, mainly one tracer every 3 or 5 bullets, depending on whether the weapon had a "Burst" mode or only "Auto". The tracers DO suck though, they should wobble the further they fly.

Thats right Soon2B 2ndLT. I'm worried that Jerry Bruckheimer is producing it. He doesn't have a record of historical knowledge in films: In particular - Pearl Harbor. Which was also crap. However, Ridley Scott is directing, and I happen to like him, and think he was a good choice. Top Gun was the first film of his I saw, and I loved it. (Although, again, not very realistic) It remains THE best book I have ever read in its depiction of soldiers under fire. I have never been in a firefight myself (despite having been in the Army Ranger Wing for almost 4 years now), but it describes the confusion very well. My OFP squad, the ARW (armyrangerwing) is dedicated to those 18 who died in the Mog. *PS: You've been "Soon2B 2nd LT" for a while now, is your promotion ever going to actually happen?

Okaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyy..... Haven't been around since i last posted (2 pages back)... 1st of all: Chickenhawk, you are sad. Really... Really... Sad.... 2nd of all: We in the armed forces who play military games have nothing against ppl who AREN'T in the military.... EXCEPT when they come out with s**t like "the SA-80 is the best" and "ooooh, look at all the shiny weapons" [i just made up the 2nd one] when they HAVEN'T A F@CKING CLUE WHAT THEY R TALKIN ABOUT!!!! THAT.... is when we get pissed off, ladies and scumbags.... * Oh, also, the SA-80 is NOT the best bullpup assault rifle. Trust me, I've fired the biatch.... ** God I'm ashamed to be 1/2 English at this point, thank god I'm in an army that KNOWS ITS STATION. *** Fianoglaich Na H-Eireann

Why are you all so childish? All FCA said (admittedly a little coursely), was that your opinions were nullified because you are a civilian who has never taken up arms for your country, a country, I might add, whose army you vehemently defend on these very forums. Right, now that I'm done with the lawyer talk, down to business... I'm Irish, so's FCATrooper, and MP. All 3 of us are part of OUR defence forces. Are you? Oh, and btw, I don't think he has a dildo up his ass.....

...Not enuff Russian stuff being added. NATO now has WAY too many heli's, in particular. So I want BIS to release: 1) Mi-6 Hook, twin rotor chopper, plus Mi-26 2) Replace EastM2-MG with something that DOESN'T look like a Browning 50 Cal. (cos where r the Russkis gonna get one of them? ) 3)Three letters: RPK [Plus multinational variation, cos it is NATO after all... ]
