    The best part is when you knock out the current regime and their MBTs, you also get to sell them new MBTs!

    Its that tight flight suit, not the damn pods!

    On the subject of TARGETING computers in the CBT world. What the hell do these things do anyway? Randomly screw up your shot? I mean, you have a laser or direct fire weapon (say 100mm autocannon), trying to shoot a target 10m tall by 2-3m wide which is uhmm, 300 metres away from you, even if both of you are not moving, there is only a 50% chance or less of a hit!** I think any WW2 Panzer Gunner will be a Katana Cluster awardee in the CBT universe provided he switched off his TARGETING computer! **Large laser at 11 hexes is (uhmm 330metres? is it 30m per hex?) To hit is 9 (or is it 10? Can't remember after all this time) on a 2d6. Thats way less then 50%.

    Some trawling of the internet got me some answers. Get this.. when the warrior has accepted death, his damn enemy's targeting _computer_ thinks he is well and truly dead, therefore not registering his _mech_ as a valid target! Duh! Crap as I thought. Which author first defecated this out?
  5. Retracting Head Ter Ter
    So what is this damn Phantom Mech ability all about and which damn writer first crapped it out? AFAIK, its some plot device bullcrap to make a cheesy heroic mechwarrior invincible? Was it ever mentioned in offical FASA rules?

    Yikes, I just saw a pic of the Starscream movie toy! I don't think I have ever seen that much kibble on a TF jet ever!

    That and it came after a long series of other coloured VF-1s. If the Kakizaki was released way earlier (before we all ran out of storage space), I am sure it would have sold much better.

    I was never a fan of Astons' (aside from the good old v8 vantage from the late 70s/early 80s) but the DB9 and the current Vantage are incredibly sexy IMHO. I have seen a few on the road and they look even better in the flesh.

    Bah! I was hoping to see the Endeavor fire double broadsides but it just sat there! CRAP!
  10. Retracting Head Ter Ter
    The microman of course (lousy POS). If the Dog's arm went limp I would be screamin.
  11. Retracting Head Ter Ter
    OK thanks David. So if they made a production F-23 without sticking on too many line-spoiling gubbins and a pair of 40k thrust class engine, it will probably end up like the Super Crusader - heat limited?

    What about that argument on lack of variable intake ramps hurting its Mach 1.8+++++ performance?
  13. Retracting Head Ter Ter
    I thought the Tamiya is a repackaged Testors kit but the Italeri kit is a separate tooling?
  14. Retracting Head Ter Ter
    OK I think I am starting to get why you lot are complaining about the microman line. I only had one (came with DMZ 1) and thought its alright. But the left shoulder joint just went limp and i barely played with it! I don't want to touch it now in case all the other joints go.

    If we are going to do all that, heck! Lets have the Zergs team up with the Predators and the Protoss team up with Skynet and Chuck Norris making a appearance as Xenu the Galactic Emperor with his fleet of 707 lookalike spaceships. Reba West can also sing a song somewhere in there.
  16. Retracting Head Ter Ter
    Looks excellent. If I had known about this I might not have shelled out for the 1/18 DMZ (Great as they are, its expensive)
  17. Retracting Head Ter Ter
    Yeah, should have shown the bullets go all the way to the engine block, but hey, its Hollywood and the Never-Empty-Sixgun-School-of-Combat we are talking about here. As for the Apache, its a heck of a lot bigger round. 30mm. Weighs about 8-10 times more than a .50 per round. BTW, Graham, how do you tell if the MP5 was using live or blank magazines? Those guns which I have fired blanks on use identical mags for live and blank ammo.

    Myth is quite ok. Better than any of his Hollywood productions. And yes, Sherawat looked delicious in the movie. Jackie always gets nice ladies for all his non-Hollywood films. His singing is CRAP though.

    While I applaud less micromanagement, it may be hard to balance the factions due to the advantage factions like the Zerg have in massive battles. e.g. In SC1, the computer controlled terran tanks can switch modes much faster than humans. In a map with 1 tank vs 1 gaggle of equilvalent zergs, no big deal. In a map with 50 tanks vs 50 gaggles of equilvalent zergs, it makes a difference. Anyway, its the cutscenes and background story I am most eagarly awaiting. Not the actual gameplay!

    Have you seen the synopsis for the movie? Some white kid in America gets hold of a magic staff and is transported back to ancient china. Sounds like an 80s B-movie. I predict CRAPNESS from this movie.

    If skynet was really losing the war by the time Kyle Reese/T800 was sent back, they certaintly were not losing it (fast enough) before they had the time to develope another series of much more advanced Terminators. Maybe T4 can have the daughter of John Conner being sent back to save Kyle Reese in the 21st century and ehm, she can become the mother of John's half brother-half grandchild.

    The day after 28 Years Later? BTW, was it ever established why the Infected don't eat other Infected (or even fight/chase them)?
  23. Retracting Head Ter Ter
    I am definitely buying this! Sweet! Can't wait! I'd rather have another spare missile than Afroman though!

    Don't bother with the standalone pacific fighters. Get 1946 (its under $30) since it adds on more planes and maps for the pacific theatre as well.
  25. Retracting Head Ter Ter
    Just get the 1946 box. Then download the final 4.08m patch (last official patch according to the developer). Don't get confused by all the earlier versions IL2, IL2 FB, PE2, Sturmoviks over Manchuria, Aces Expansion, Pacific Fighters etc etc. The 1946 box contains all of it in one merged DVD. I have never seen such attention to detail on a WW2 sim.
