    Future Warrior

    Think MH-47. We know it was the Night Stalkers. Since they fast roped in that is the likely craft used. You can fast rope from a Blackhawk, but given the range from the Iwo Jima and the number of troops, the Chinook is most likely. The acoustics could have been lots of smaller systems on the...

    Future Warrior

    6 to 8 wounded, 2 seriously. One of the seriously wounded was a helicopter pilot. Volume of fire is only important for suppressive fire. On the receiving end high rate of fire isn't all that necessary to put heads down. That isn't what he is talking about here though. Accuracy, especially in...

    Squadron 42 releasing this coming year

    A successful launch means new money, not just the people that already paid for it. They needed to launch SQ42 in 2014, then 2016 then 2018. There isn't lots of money in the current player base. After all this time they need to launch right, and be successful more than release before they're...

    Squadron 42 releasing this coming year

    GTA isn't direct competition, but it will soak up all the gaming marketing bandwidth. You can't have a successful launch if nobody knows you launched.

    Squadron 42 releasing this coming year

    I seriously doubt it, for several reasons, like we've been told this before. Most importantly, though: CIG has said they want to have at least 6 months of marketing to build hype before release. (From a marketing standpoint that is about right.) CIG has said they don't want to launch around...

    New Vehicle - Star Citizen MDC for $45 is nice!

    OK, I'll admit it. The MDC has me tempted.

    Montoya likes the Clipper

    I thought the SC equal to the Razorcrest was the Cutlass Blue. The Razorcrest has a bounty pod rack.

    the L-21 Wolf

    I'm guessing it doesn't fit a Merlin dock.

    Looking at the Anvil Asgard

    I get it. Germany and Japan didn't have the luxury of being able to bring their best pilots home. And while I'm not disparaging Russian pilots but Soviet planes of the day were absolute crap. I was just noting why, even with the differences in how to count a kill, American numbers are lower.

    Looking at the Anvil Asgard

    I'm also curious how you get a prisoner from the G-Loc bar or MacIntyre & Victor's Bar to the spaceport, onto your ship and to the station that accepts pods. Do you have to take the Tram?

    Looking at the Anvil Asgard

    More like a "jeep carrier" from WWII. They used those to transport Army Air Corps planes to combat zones, loading them by crane since they couldn't land on carriers. They also transported PT boats by cargo ships, under most circumstances because the PT Boats lacked the range to get anywhere.

    Looking at the Anvil Asgard

    The idea that ground vehicles are invulnerable to turrets, and have places, outside, that space ships can't go, is just absurd. It is only there to sell Ground Vehicles. The Hawk should be able to go everywhere an Ursa can go, except underground.

    Looking at the Anvil Asgard

    The difference was that the US, normally, sent you home after about 26 to train the next generation of fighter pilots. German pilots had no place to go. It is why US fighter pilots got better during hte war but German and Japanese pilots wound up with insufficient training and less and less...

    Looking at the Anvil Asgard

    Oh, I agree that the Asgard is definitely aesthetically better than the Connie. I just don't like it as much as the Redeemer. If there is a way to use the Andromeda, properly, for Bounty Hunting in Bounty Hunting 2.0, and I decide to get one, my Zeus MR will become the Connie. But I still don't...

    Looking at the Anvil Asgard

    For me the Liberator is a way for us to move our base of operations or go long range bounty hunting with our Hawks. It can also be used to resupply an Idris with fighters.

    Looking at the Anvil Asgard

    Richard Bong was a World War II Fighter Pilot that flew P-38s. He is the US Ace of Aces. I named the character after him, but then changed it to Quinton McHale (As in McHale's Navy). Vanguard and Retaliator. :)
