Ahhhhh, Bob, you show your ignorange of the British rank Structure, a Wing Commander is a Lt. Colonel, so Blair is a group Captain. Tolwyn was always nasty and sinister, so we have the nasty sinister Brit, oh thats never been used before. We're generally very honest, staight foward and...

Well okay, maybe I was inarticulate there. My point is though, why is it that in almost all Sci Fi everything is based on America. Like they always have Generals whereing Stars, joint Chiefs, Presidants, blah, blah. Its just I read Fleet Action and it just seemed like America in space. Why...

I'd rather stick with the nostalga trip. Very few new designs come out in peace time. Thats what makes WCP so odd.

Like I say I loved the WC4 Hud, I just took it as the cockpit was there, you just weren't looking at it. That said, in X-Wing Alliance I always have the cockpit on. Even the upgraded X-Wing, where half the view is obstructed.

It always got at me how WC is just like an intergalactic US, I mean, Joint Chiefs, come on! What, did the US just concur the rest of the planet, or did we all give up our national identity and become the United States of Earth.

First time I used my Callsign, then he was Thunder, then Iceman, then Iceboy, then Frosty. Then I played WCIV again and accidentally typed in Maverick at 2200.

I think Daniels feels too much like Blair at the minute. We'll see how he develops.

I really liked the WC4 HUDs, the first floating hud, wasn't it? The outer targeting sight made life easier.

Hang on, I'm about to tie them in knots. SSD size, ha ha!

Doesn't anyone else think there should be two paths when Blair catches Catscratch and Sosa. "Lucky Guy." "Punch the Bastard" or "Not on my watch!" What do you think?

There is a 2Lt in the navy.

I think Its more to do with the Vesuvias being a warship about to blow you to hell.

The WCIII-IV uniforms are the same, the difference is that Confed has everyone walking around in Dress Uniforms all though WCIV.

I always flew with Primate. He was one kick ass wingman.

Delance what have you been spoking? Firstly only about 10% of officers are marked for training which will allow promotion beyond Battallion Ranks (Colonel). Secondly, one of the most important qualities in all officers is individual thinking. Those candidates who don't show that quality fail...

Yeah, Its worked so far. On the other hand, give me a Manta and two wingmen, plus 6 Devil rays as Escort and I'll sink her Or, give me a Dev and two wingmen, plus 6 Vamps as Escort and I'll sink a Bug Dreadnaught. The survival of the Miday is down to the Player, In one of the defence...

Wedge, Your salutes never get sloppy, the thing about drill is that it is uniform. No special cases. Bad drill makes bad soldiers. Thats not to say that drill is the be all and end all. However it is the foundation of Military dicipline. Rostek, okay, I've learned something. Tanaka, The...

Thats fine steelflight, but which Air Force? I don't have a British Army Drill manual so I can't quote it.

From my point of view its condensing the entire fleet an support ships into one, easy kill, target.

Quite correct Delance. I believe the Belgian salute has the thumb pointing down. As to the British: The hand takes the long way up, staying parralel to the side of the body, the hand is so that the fore finger is touching the eyebrow, the palm is is flat with the thumb in line with the...
