Seriously, that hard?

But seeing as some tanks can climb over vertical obstacles nearly/over 1m high, I highly doubt that'd be that much of a problem. Plus I guess it'd be fairly quick to fill with few shovels. In real life.

That's friggin' hilarious. Ouch, that howitzer "shot" must've hurt!

So dark here we're a tad gothy people, lol. Nah, just saw her live few hours ago. Red top, black jeans and leather jacket (during the first song) - not the "formal" dress. And what wrong with black anyways?

Check ORCS Shilka... I think they got the quad effect. I guess you could just make the tracer look like it's 5 tracers (especially on the "nose 4" variant if it's done), which would simulate the effect of all of them firing at the same time. Or is there some limitation for tracer size?

"Only"? You played almost the whole night! Thanks fore everyone who joined, a nice way to spend Saturday evening. Next week again, then?

As I said, usually loaded. Propably to improve reliability or weight issues (one 30mm round weights over half a kilo, API projectiles lone being 425 grams), not sure; "half loading" is more usual in traditional magazine fed guns, though.

Wiki reports 1167 rounds usually loaded, and both 1800 and 3900 rpm firing rates. BTW for those using FAS.org... although very reliable, it is NOT a military source. Same goes for GlobalSecurity as far as I know.

Ummmm... right. I sized it down to 99.8 kB, without noticeable quality loss. Some noise on the red band, didn't noticed anything else myself. Nice pic anyways... what's the MD lifting? http://img159.imageshack.us/img159/1571/choppasizeproofti2.jpg And some shots...

I know - technically you weren't allowed to post the Rainbow either. Hmmmm lemmi find something nice.

XF-12 Rainbow?

Errr... I still prefer gameplay to graphics. Sure, neat graphics are nice, but... And Hydra 70's are used on A-10s. It's just the launcher that varies, Wiki states the use of LAU-68 (instead of LAU-61 found in LOMAC, IIRC) 7-tube launcher.

Cobras have M197 (not sure, directly off memory) 3-barrel 20mm gun. A-10 has the, as we all know, 7-barrel 30mm "long" Avenger. At maximum rate of fire (roughly 70 rounds per second once it's up to speed) the recoil force is slightly below half of the combined engine output. The figure is taken directly off Wikipedia, but it's easy to calculate anyways, if you know any mechanics. Combined with dive, and I recall that the engines automatically throttle up when firing, the speed isn't reduced that much. Most propably noticeable, but anyways. With 70 rounds of ammo per second and a claimed 80% accuracy at a 6m target at 1,600 metres, longer bursts are hardly needed, as about 10 rounds are able to take out a medium MBT out in real life. 50x0.8 = 40 rounds hitting in a 1-second burst. Close up the range, and make the target smaller, the figure might be roughly 50-75 percent of that. That's still enough to take out 3 MBTs. Add to that the velocity and the size of the projectile, the friction is quite huge anyways, a molten barrel isn't very nice in combat. Haven't tested it yet, as I don't have US Arma and on my machine the performance sucks anyways, but the above is based on figures off some sources and what I've seen in both OFP and mods and LOMAC. Feel free to complain.

Same here. Thumbnails seem fairly big, but no problemo.

Rheintochter, a German WW2 SAM system. Will propably post a reply in... 14-15 hours, if not sooner. And yes, the forums were apparently down for the weekend.

OK, can't actually say that I'll miss him (not that he was a that bad fella) nor that it was a surprise, but he was the first president of the modern RF and a notable person. RIP BBC reports.

CNN coverage, with an very close observer of the crash being interviewed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8c96sU5q2wQ Oh, and Supah... some do. Not everybody, especailly for a long period, but some do.

Marder 2 prototype. Or VT-001, dunno if that's the prototype number or something.

Wikipedia states that atleast there were some snipers (not just sharpshooters) during American Civil War, and before. I remember reading that some hunters used as scouts use their rifled hunting rifles with far better results than normal riflemen with their smoothbores. Might been the Independence War of America, though.

Peugeot FT, from 1918. Unless I've answered with a quiz vehicle in few hours, feel free to post...

Once the tools are released, or if you wanna try your luck before that, go ahead, just simply make an island that either has no textures (white?) or just uses totally blue textures.

VBS1... came out more than few years ago. I think he's referring to either OFP2 or the mysterious "Game 2". Well, I get about 5-12 (averages at 7 or 8) FPS with Very Low settings in ArmA, so not much of that for me... sticking to OFP.

Repost... that's been posted few weeks back. In quite many places actually. Javelin gone mad! Or... SEAdart.

This was posted on the Military Humor thread few months back, but...
