It's a minor thing let it go, there are bigger problems to fix in thin <awesome> game

Independence Lost & VBS1 look very similar to me...looks like we're actually gonna get the declassified VBS1 goodies

Hey I just realized the whole punk-rock genre has been neglected so I figured I'd post some great punk songs which would go perfectly with OFP missions/cutscenes "Society" - Pennywise "You'll never make it" - Pennywise "Genocide" - The Offspring "It'll be a long time" - The Offspring 'Jennifer Lost The War" - The Offspring "Come Out & Play" - The Offspring

Rage Against The Machine . Some songs are even perfect for different situations. "Ashes in the Fall" and "Killing in the Name of" and - Perfect for resistance...the lyrics "&&*$ you I won't do what you tell me" is the very essense of resistance . "Know your Enemy" and "Bombtrack" - SpecOps/SpetzNatz "Bullet in the Head" - can ya guess.....uhhhh.....Snipers?

Yep...somehow the russian small arms got neglected here....first off....how many new rifles did Nato get in that weapons pack? I know it was at least 3 assault rifles, ALL of them with optics. The Soviets? A sub-machine gun (don't get me wrong...I LOVE the Bizon.... 64 round clip *drool* but I still feel short-changed there) Also, both the Bizon and the G-36 weren't around in 1985, so I wasn't surprized when I didn't get to play with the Bizon in Red Hammer....but I was pretty surprized & pissed when I got my ass shot off by a Nato bloke with a G-36. What gives? Gawddammnit I want the AN-94 with Cobra sight! Or at least one of the new 100-series AK's

Â there were no Air-To Air losses by ANY of the allies in Desert Storm. there were a few from ground fire and 1 or 2 from malfunction though several Iraq pilots ejected from perfectley fine aircraft as soon as Navy F-14 locked their AIM-54 Phoenix missile onto them and fired... Â I guess it must kinda suck when the enemy can fire and kill you long before you could even lock up on them...<span id='postcolor'> An F-18 went down in the gulf war (Remember that missing pilot? who defected Iraqi soldiers kept saying they saw at a hospital? He is still MIA) The Iraqi's claimed a MiG-25 downed it. The US never said what caused it to go down but said the MiG theory was a possibility. As for the Hind, the glass itself is designed to withstand several .50 hits....but yes it's a bit overpowered in the game. The cockpit itself is designed to withstand direct 23mm hits. And yes, it IS the worlds fastest combat chopper, whoever said newer isn't always faster is totally right...remember the MiG-25 is still thw world's fastest fighter (Mach 3 when unarmed, Mach 2.8 fully loaded) but it's so outdated the radar still uses vacumm tubes! (which were still allright for the 1960's when it was designed)

Yhea...but no AA weapons other than the cannon...and who wants to fly a Harrier that looks like a painted-over Su-25 anyways? Oh well, guess that's the best that can be done till the editing tools are released, or maybe the VBS1 Harrier is "declassified" Anyways, I think my first post may have been missunderstood...I'm not looking for a high-performance interceptor...I know full well the game engine wouldn't handle anything supersonic like that....I just want something which would balance out the current Attack choppers and CAS jets. Too often I play MP and get "base raped". I'm sure you guys know what I mean....having a sub-sonic Harrier or Yak-38 VTOL with short-ranged, heat seeking missiles (Yes they are CAS planes too but Russia & Britain HAVE used them as maritime interceptors) & _maybe_ a few unguided rockets for realism's sake (since they are CAS planes) should help with putting the fear of God back into these base rapists. Same argument goes for more SAM vehicles...and well as to help balance out the balancers . Oh and for you guys who don't like vehicles....Go play Ghost Recon

Anyone else think it would be great to have some real fighter planes in this game? I don't immagine it'd be too hard....modify the flight models of the A-10 & SU-25 a bit, re-skin them to say F-16 and MiG-29, load them up with modified Stingers/Strelas....maybe code up an RWR to add to playability...(Yes I realize this is not a flight simulator, but it's the most complete military sim I've ever played and I think It'd be even better if we had interceptors as well as choppers/CAS aircraft. I also think we should have some SAM vehicles....heck there are versions of the BMP that carry short range SAMS, and I've even heard of an AA round for the T-80...) K I'll stop now before I ask for too much

Ok, I agree that maybe the F-16 & MiG-29 were a bit of a stretch...but What I'm trying to say is I'd like a plane with somewhat dedicated AA capabilities. A couple of people said Harrier...great idea IMHO, so how about a Harrier for Nato and the Yak-38 or Yak-141 for the Soviets? They all have roughly the same flight charatcteristics as the A-10/Su 25 in level flight, they're all VTOL, and they all carry limited AA weapons (short-range heat-seeking missiles only except for the Yak-141, which never made it into production anyways)

I've found that the best way for choppers is to fly with the joystick & land with the mouse

Â That has some Shilkas and Hinds in it. Â Man oh man are those Hinds some awesome looking beasts. Â They are HUGE!! Â There's also some other really cool looking chopper that I'm not sure is real or what but it looks kinda like the Hind but it has 2 top rotors on it at an angle. Anyway, I was really awestruck at just how massive and cool those hinds are. Â They look a bit smaller in OF, but they're still pretty damned cool. Didn't the Soviets ever make something a bit smaller though, more like the Apache or Cobra?<span id='postcolor'> Yhea the Russians have a smaller gunship, probably the same one you mentioned. They call it "Black Shark" (Nato designation KA-50 Hokum). It's designed as a direct counter to the Apache and apparently it's the first and only gunship to need only 1 crewmember and features an ejection seat!! (no idea how that would work but my guess would be it'd eject you sideways...or maybe jetisson the blades first)...anyway here's a link with a pic of a Hokum flying alongside a Hind.... Hokum & Hind in formation
