Wonder

I can't seem to find it anywhere in my editor. Help anyone?

This is definately the best US. Carrier available! (hehe) I do have doubts about it though, It doesn't really look like a Nimitz. The parts that catch my eye are the rear flight deck, the island and the radar near the meatball... what the hell is that supposed to be anyway?! I think the author used too much of his imagination, especially with the rear of the ship As you can see, there is no large H for helicopters. He probably got the idea off the HMS Hermes. Also the flight deck is shaped differently. The island should be further right and there should be a yellow vertical bar at the rear end of the ship. When the aircraft is aligned with the landing deck the bar is aligned with the runway's yellow centerline. He also should work on the Phalanx guns and the Sea Sparrow launchers. Also the script's messages should be reworked. The arresting script could start with selecting "Call LSO" from the action menu, He then tells you something like "Wonder, Bearing *** range ****. Clear deck, call the ball in 3/4 miles. ". In 3/4 the script checks if the aircraft's heading matches the deck's heading and calls "Roger ball!" or "Wave off!" Maybe some voice files could be added to these scripts. The range between the aircraft to the arresting wires should also be a LOT less. The aircraft needs to touch down at the wires or else there's no arrest. The LSO Should also call "Trap!" or "Cut power" after a succesful arrest or "Bolter!" if the aircraft misses the wires. Also The pilot should stay in the cockpit and exit whenever he feels like it. As for the catapult scripts, the stupid countdown and "go, go, go" needs to be done away with. When the catapult gets ready to launch and the aircraft goes to full throttle the catapult officer could call "Going into tension" and "Cat 1/2/3/4" depending on the catapult when the aircraft is launched. Smoke and sound effects could be added too. Anyway... it's still beta and the author has plenty of time to correct this.

That's one weird looking carrier!

I think it has something to do with the latest 1.95 patch. The AI didn't crash it before.

What's that on your sig, Norsu? Do I see a ZSU-57-2?

"Buy Operation Flashpoint: Resistance now!! Batteries included!"

The A-10 is a pussy! - One 30mm cannon round and it's toast! :P And that aircraft is supposed to be one of the most heavily armored fixed-winged aircraft in the world!

Haven't you considered working together? I'd rather see ONE good Strv122 being published next year than TWO not-that-good in 4 years.

So, are you working together?

I wasn't sure of it, so I checked that up... I don't remember everything you know!

I'm not allowed to point that out?

Not black - "African american"!!

What is the difference between SFP and OWN?

The MGs retired in ´98 while the DKs stayded until the end of 2000

I didn't know Mig-25 had 6 weapon hardpoints under it's wings! ...just checked it up - I was right... it has 4 underwing hardpoints instead of 6.

Nope, they were making the platypus. (Su-34 or 32? Make up your mind!)

My turn to nitpick! It's PPSh-41 Â (or PPSch-41 if you're german). The last two letters is typed with a capital S followed by a lowercase h, as it's a translitteration of one cyrillic letter. PPSh is an abbreviation from Pistolet Pulemyot Shpagina (Shpagin's submachinegun - compare with Avtomat Kalashnikova) and the original cyrillic designation has three letters.

Pretty good, but still can't beat DaSquade's Nimitz

The fighter is still almost impossible to taxi on the ground. Even if you can turn it tighter now, it still keeps drifting to the original direction. Please fix this!

American test pilots because the russians aren't used to giving feedback to the developers. The defence department simply gave the preformance requirements and so the manufacturer came up with an aircraft that can meet these requirements and the russian air force pilots just had to accept the new fighter as it was wether they liked it or not. No modifications requested by the pilots were  made. I don't know if the russian pilot is better than the american, and I'm not going to comment on that either, but I'm pretty sure the avarage american pilot has more flight hours than the avarage russian pilot.

Yes, I know about the X-31. It's mostly built of parts mostly from F-16s and F-5 among other aircraft. It is the only 3D thrust-vectoring aicraft that I'm aware of. The thing it's nothing but a test aircraft with no weapons. The russian Su-35 on the other hand is a full-grown combat aircraft. It's like comparing the Mig-25 with the SR-71... Sure, the SR-71 is faster, but the Foxbat is a front line combat aircraft, and that's what shocked the west when they found out about it. I'm sure the russians talk more about their equipment nowadays, because they're concentrating more on exports, because the russians cannot afford to buy them themselves. The Americans don't have that problem, so they can be more hush-hush about their newest equipment. The perfect combat aircraft would be something designed by russian engineers and built by american hands that has an american radar, american avionics and an american cockpit. It would be armed with a russian cannon, russian close-range missiles and american long-range missiles, powered by russian engines and tested by american test-pilots.

So that's what the strange light's above the deserts of Nevada were!! Â And please! I have the facts that the Russians have aircraft with the features mentioned above, but I have nothing but assumptions that the US is developing some X-234 can't-tell-anything-about-it UFO with hyper-maneuverability. You can't call assumptions facts! I haven't seen this aircraft and neither have you, unless you work for Locheed or the government or are living in a trailer in Nevada! I might as well say that Finland has the word's greatest fighter that can blow any existing fighter out of the skies, but we don't tell anybody about it. If you're saying that the US has something better than the russians then you'd better have something to back it up!

Not with the Russian air force I guess What I like about russian aircraft designers is that they're pretty innovative with things like IRST and helmet-mouted sights. Now they're experimenting with fighters with rearward-facing radars, rearward-shooting missiles, thrust vectoring and whatnot! All those things can make a helluva dogfighter. The americans are still pretty much stuck to traditional HUDs, AIM-9Ms and active sensors instead of passive. If they don't start being more open-minded they're gonna fall behind!

...nor have I played a multiplayer game where you can provide air support for the ground units, or call in the air support yourself after your squad has disabled an enemy air defence unit, or rush in to save a friendly tank platoon under attack by a Su-25. What I'd like to see in OFP is a command engine that lets you control all the elements in the battlefield - Armour, infantry units, air defence, air support, artillery, logistics... the works. CoC is prtetty much it, but it still needs work.

...yeah, yeah, and if you want tank battles go play Steel Beasts, and for infantry battles go play America's Army. But what if we want all of them?
