    The germans are in a major upgrade program right now on all there f-4 phantom interceptors. Its going to be called the F-4 "Ice" and will have a completely new radar system and ground attack capability. With the new radar system it will be able to use the new AMRAAM missiles and be able to...

    Audio question

    In my experience most cd burning programs automatically convert the files so a standard cd player can play the music. A lot of your dvd players are comming out with the ability to play em to but as far as car cd decks go most of them do not and those that do usually make a big deal out of it...

    (Super-)Video CDs made out of the WCA .AVIs

    most dvd players are erratic with that kinda playback it was probobly your model but most panasonic models do pretty well with it but maybe it was just because of format too

    WC3 Dreadnaught

    I don't think klicks is short for kilometers but i could be wrong. I thought it was some term the military came up with for there own distance thing about the vietnam era war. I dunno i could be wrong but i was always under the impression that the klick was it's own measurement

    Some quick WC questions

    I go to school right by a reserve air force base. The squadron is the tulsa vipers and they fly f-16's. I have actually gone to lunch with some of the pilots from that squadron and they said they fly about every other day or every 3 days on just routine patrol missions and such. However...

    Another good review of Wing Commander

    I doubt banning guns would solved gun problems. Its not the people who own guns legally and pay there dues and everything on their weapons that we have to worry about. Its freaks that obtain guns illegally and have to respect for human life. I could see guns with automatic fire being banned...

    Quick Question

    Yeah but I would say most major colleges require an SAT or ACT score if your comming from out of state I know some schools aren't so strict on those scores if you stay in the state

    Where The Hell Are My Space Kitties?!?!

    I think it's pretty abvious that wing commander was an underbudget movie so they had to do a lot of the stuff half assed. If they would have given roberts like 100 million bucks then yeah sure the movie would have been better but people would still complain about it also. Still in my small...

    WCI returning soon

    I think red dawn was the first movie to ever get a pg-13 rating. I don't remember what year that movie came out but it was in the very early 80's

    Kilrathi vs. Terran ship design...

    I know its not land warfare but several anti-shipping mines are designed to only have a limited life span and then sink to the bottom of the ocean so that they won't eventually slip out onto international shipping lanes in peace time or such. I don't know how common this is but i have heard of...

    WC! & 2 ship design...

    Well the only reason I can think of having a long barrel is somehow in the case of the laser it has something to do with actually forming the shot. I think a long barrel might have some good use for a round from a mass driver during ground attack missions and such though but i never totally...

    Privateer 2 and the rest of the WC universe: My explanation

    Yeah that makes sense too. I really haven't played the game in a long time and when i did it just sorta turned me off i guess cause it wasn't really your typical wing commander game and it just felt different to me. If i remember correctly just about everyone in that movie had a british...

    Privateer 2 and the rest of the WC universe: My explanation

    maybe the tri-system is more like the border worlds but is just a really isolationist type system that want's nothing to do with confed and so the government tries to keep the two interacting to an absolute minimum.......where is loaf when you need him to explain all the intricate details

    Privateer 2 and the rest of the WC universe: My explanation

    Afterburners, how do they work?

    THey probobly work the same way the space shuttles engines work in space. You need air to get any kind of combustion in an engine going even your normal car engine

    Atmosphere capable?

    I dunno if rocket assisted takeoff would be greatly expensive. The germans did it a lot during world war two with a lot of their bombers and the wasp uses something similar to a rocket pod and they could always use a reusable one. As for the longbow and arrow dropping like a rock you are...

    Atmosphere capable?

    But I bet if any of the planes were being launched from a planet they would have some kind of rocket assisted takeoff so they could get out of the planets atmosphere in a hurry so they wouldn't be hit on the ground and turned into expensive pieces of twisted metal. This would allow you to...
