    Elite Carrier Wing

    nah doesnt mean stupid, its just kinda convoluted and nonsenseicle Alpha wing, Beta wing, Charlie wing, etc... are just reused temporary callsigns for the various wings (flights) involved in the current mission. The reason why you the player are always in Alpha wing (in WC as well as most...

    Elite Carrier Wing

    WC mixes up its terminology so much its not funny... so because i'm quite bored at the moment i'll kill some time explaining things... I'll start with how things are in most modern western militaries: Element - 2 fighters, a Leader and a Wingman. The basic unit of fighter...

    WCSO add-on

    Or you could just get one of the SOSIM patches from the CIC Files section... they change the entrance to the simulator to the exit door, or the easter egg trigger in the Cerberus hologram in the center... tho I forget which patch does which... I think the 'a' patch is for the exit door... And...

    Gwriss 2a

    I always wondered if anyone else had that prob... Prophecy/SO seems to have a bug in the save/history files, if you replay the game (especally SO) useing the same pilot so it overwrites the files, certin ships blow up as soon as you encounter them, in Prophecy the only ones that come to mind are...

    Coolest Looking Spacecraft in WC

    Tough call... so many cool looking ships in WC... as for most beautiful... the Centurion from Priv, gotta love the beauty of sleek simple functionality... the Sabre from WC2, probably my favorite fighter over all in all of WC... and the Panther from Prophecy, sleek and curvy like a woman :D...

    Spreading your resources awfully thin...

    Orig by Quarto: "Besides, for me to claim that the F-23 will never be needed, that might seem like phony clairvoyance. For the Air Force to claim it, however, which they did by choosing the F-22 instead - that's a different story. They know what they're doing. You, whatever else you may be good...

    Spreading your resources awfully thin...

    Orig by Quarto: "Well, then you know how I feel. I'm sorry if I made it look like I was stating facts rather than an opinion (even though it is an accurate opinion ), but look at your response - basically, all you've said is "no, you're wrong". I explained my reasoning and why I think you're...

    *sighs* ...why do I feel as if i'm trying to explain quantum physics to a goat... (see - http://bbspot.com/News/2000/8/hour_lost.html - to get the reference) I am in NO way supportive of wastefull spending, if it were my desicion we wouldnt have bought the F-22 OR the F-23... they're both...

    Spreading your resources awfully thin...

    Quarto, you keep looking at it from the ant's perspective... yes to you Quarto, an individual person, a few million dollars seems like a lot of money... however to the U.S. Department of Defense, whos annual budget is somewhere in the trillions i'm sure, a few million more or less spent on...

    :eek: *blinks* [Insert military 'intelligence' joke here.] And these are the people that are supposed to be helping to insure the security of our country... they can't even secure a budget... America is SO doomed... :rolleyes:

    Spreading your resources awfully thin...

    Orig by Quarto: "Is this some sort of weird reverse psychology thing? Logic dictates that the difference between prices like this would be a *lot* more significant than the difference between a Ferrari and a Lamborghini. We're talking millions here." *sighs* And i'll explain yet again... yes...

    Spreading your resources awfully thin...

    Orig by Quarto: "The only reason why the difference doesn't seem that great is because the pricetags are insanely high on both planes anyway." My point exactly... when you're already spending $30 or $40 some odd MILLION bucks per aircraft... an extra mill or 2 is only an increase of a few...

    Spreading your resources awfully thin...

    They're not invalid concerns, they just shouldnt be at the top of the list, the price difference between the 23 & 22 would not have been that great, when you're talking about peoples LIVES (the pilots, and the soliders and civvies they're defending), not to mention the fate of nations, alittle...

    Spreading your resources awfully thin...

    I donno what they've sence modified the YF-22 design to do, but back when it was still in competition with the YF-23, they were BOTH designed as Air Superiorty Fighters, period. The goal of the ATF project was to develop a replacement for the F-15C , which is the USAFs current Air Superiorty...

    Spreading your resources awfully thin...

    As is usual the primary reason why the YF-22 was picked over the YF-23 has little to do with performance and everything to do with money and politics. The navy had it's own super-fighter in development before the ATF, but they ran into a few technological SNAFUs, and before they could fix...

    Battle of Vukar Tag

    Ya know, repeating a mistake, doesnt make it any less wrong... :rolleyes: If it were me id just throw out the 4 carrier thing and leave it at 3, to even it up tho, i'd add a few more escort carriers, just because only one was mentioned by name doesnt necessarily mean there werent a couple...
