So, since I'm a dumbass when it comes to these things... My choice would be Option 4, which I'm assuming is the DirectX9c option. Do you burn these things to a DVD and then run the installer from that DVD? Also, have you found that any one DVD player or another hangs the game while trying...

I seem to remember something that looked like cars driving around if you hit the losing end of WC3 where the White House is on fire from the Kilrathi bombardment.

Well hell...now I feel like a heel. I felt better when the line of "...there was NO WAY to save the Saratoga". Which I *thought* indicated a script. Crappola...

Eltee...hmmm...what about a pulse of water that would either alter torpedo trajectory or detonate the warhead? If memory serves (though I can't give you a reference since I don't remember where I read this), some torps did have a tendancy to detonate inside a ships' wake if it got spoofed...

Yeah, which it probably got whacked down to simply "Claven"...I wasn't privvy to the ICS or over-the-air transmissions, so that's just a guess. But that's what was painted on the helo door under his name.

Not sure about the actualities of it, but Iowa is currently undergoing museum-ities in San Francisco. About two months ago, there was a hiring call for Iowans to go out there to restore her and, once opened up for museum status, anyone with an Iowa driver's license gets aboard free. I'm there...

See, this is what you get when you're away from keeping current on general military news for seven years...I had no idea that the Iowas were still on the rolls, even as they're being turned into/already are museum ships. And the BB battlegroup is already in the books, at least...it's called a...

Quarto, I believe your idea has quite a bit of merit. And not simply because I'm an Iowa whore. :D Look at what happened in the skies over Vietnam when guns were taken off U.S. aircraft in favor of missiles...missiles are the wave of the future and guns obsolete, right? Wrong. Now...

Ah...evidently I need to reference "FTP" from here on out... Ahhh, I may have to do that as well. Iiiinteresting...thanks!

Heh, that's funny. At least you asked politely in the middle of the night instead of breaking into his house in the middle of the night! :D

Oh yeah, they don't exactly look in the best of shape. They'll probably be sitting there for some time...Jacksonville lobbied hard to get Saratoga as a museum, as her entire career was at Mayport. Very obviously, though, the effort failed, as they couldn't raise enough money. I always thought...

Okay, so here's some possibly boring stuff in direct-type from a couple of books my dad gave me a long time ago called "The Illustrated Encyclopedia of 20th Century Weapons & Warfare". On German battlecruisers (i.e., the "pocket battleships", taken on the article on Admiral Graf Spee: "The...

I've been away from the fleet for a while so I'll go with your reading, but dear lawd, I DO hope that's true! Never thought that John C. Stennis should have had a ship named after him...I rather think that no member of either the House or the Senate (save, perhaps, for John McCain) should...

Which leads me to my thought... ...ya know, sometimes I'm quite the Johnny Come Lately, so this might have already been pointed out long ago. That said, it hit me during the civvy ship fight that when the call of, "Popping the spam can" came over the comm, it made me think that, of all...

I first played WC1 on the SNES, and was instantly hooked. Stayed at my friends' place while I was on leave once, and when he and his wife left the apartment to go to work, I was still playing the game. Felt bad...not too much though. ;) Originally played WC2 after that for my PC (which I...

Eh, that's just because the computer's a sore loser. ;)

Oh, come on guys...one of the pilots in my first command, his callsign was "Cliff Claven". It's not common, but it's cool in its own right. :D

Well, the naming schemes end up making me shake my head and smiling with that "whatever" look to it. I think you're right about the lobbying part, especially with the Seawolf class attack subs. The three they built...that was another oddity: Seawolf, Connecticut, (which I think was the...

Quite. I remember speeding from about being eight hours from Nice, France (a port call, dammit!) straight to the Suez onboard Theodore Roosevelt back in '93. My squadron's berthing was right over the screws...when we suddenly went to flank, the world seemed like it suddenly turned to one giant...

Just my input... The only (somewhat) different bug I've had is on the Sim mission 11 (I think...the single Clydesdale escort mission w/the stealth fighters at the end of it)...I haven't completed it successfully yet. The game crashes with "record-skipping" audio from the Clydesdale as it...
