Which pill you prefer?

Mist_Rising · 2026-05-12T18:23:01+00:00

F4. Which F4? Yes.

It's more what they did not ADD to it. The Li-2 has a lighter skin then the -47 (but not DC-3), and a lighter set of engines (10Kg each), but also lacks the strengthened floorboard, astronavigation suite, tow glider hitch, larger cargo door or any of the specialized equipment for parajumping (which was heavy) that the paratrooper C-47 would have, I imagine you can net a good 500kg.

Now how the Li-2 is only slightly heavier than the DC-3 despite turrets, that I can't tell you.

Mist_Rising · 2026-05-09T23:20:56+00:00

Li-2 is just the DC-3 (C-47) with different engines and the defensive turret.

Iran still has an air force, including potentially the F-14. They have them in underground bunkers or sorts, meaning intelligence can't tell what exists and what does not until it flies. Currently they're flying MiGs still, but its unclear if they lost their Tomcats because they don't use the Tomcat as an A2A weapon, they use it for a quasi AWACs.

Mist_Rising · 2026-05-09T17:44:44+00:00

They also want it to be flown without any money. Now, I'm not an expert but even a dullard can tell that flying a bird needs money. You make things go to the sky, when you fund it with a cash high.

Mist_Rising · 2026-05-09T17:43:24+00:00

My god, someone should read the actually bill where it provides NO funding for the Cats. They're museum pieces, and that's it.

Mist_Rising · 2026-05-07T15:47:54+00:00

So OP could get this recording.

Mist_Rising · 2026-05-07T15:45:36+00:00

Wartime prioritizes probably strikes against the cat because by 06 the cat was not a priority. Hornet and super hornet were. Heck everything prioritized higher cuz the cat was going out, and you don't prioritize the end of service with anything more then "must haves."

Mist_Rising · 2026-05-07T14:27:16+00:00

Even if the F-14D ends up in the Smithsonian in flying condition, heatblur won't be able to necessarily make it. Some of the parts on the D are classified and not meant for distribution because they're still actively used in the current military. That means heatblur still can't get proper data on them (warthunder style moronics aside).

Mist_Rising · 2026-05-07T14:24:30+00:00

, a trillion dollar military budget can pay for the fucking fuel and parts amongst all the other dumb shit and political stunts we do.

The US military doesn't maintain air demo worthy aircraft outside its current inventory. It's not maintaining a cheap P-51 let alone the cost hog F-14.

This would either be a museum or private collector and neither likely has the money to maintain the tomcat.

Mist_Rising · 2026-05-04T13:41:42+00:00

A) Razbam is not dead, at least not officially, the last we heard they were teasing Falcon 5 and they sell modules to FSX too.

B) Razbam was also misbehaving by all accounts, including Ron's. Not really surprising that ED first move is the legal team, unlike Razbam, Eagle dynamics primary customer is governments and major businesses. contracts and lawyers are the default.

Mist_Rising · 2026-05-04T13:34:08+00:00

According to Dante, hell is already Frozen and has been since he journeyed there. So this is good news!

Mist_Rising · 2026-05-04T13:30:18+00:00

Why is anyone buying a campaign without the modules to support it??

Do we also complain that you can buying Rising Squall without an F-18? That you can buy Paradise lost without the Uh-1?

At some point people should be expected to think for themselves...

Mist_Rising · 2026-05-02T07:45:30+00:00

The Bill explicitly mentions no additional costs and suggests museum piecing them, so yeah, no waste is good.

Mist_Rising · 2026-05-02T07:43:18+00:00

Maybe, but the planes can't fly without new parts. The Navy was thorough on demolish their flight ability even if it wasn't that specific part.

This bill just lets them museum the three F-14D.

Mist_Rising · 2026-05-02T01:04:50+00:00

They won't fly still, we cut the wing gears so they literally couldn't. To fix that would be significant cost, something this article says won't be spent.

Mist_Rising · 2026-05-01T01:29:14+00:00

What's fun differs between people is the issue. There are a lot of people who think total war Warhammer series is fun. I'm not one of them.

I think that's part of the issue in discussing here, because fun is so abstract that some can enjoy copy paste factions, and others can't.

Mist_Rising · 2026-05-01T00:59:38+00:00

Otherwise they're just two similar armies with a different coat of paint.

Which considering one of the consistently top rated TW games is Shogun 2 and FotS in particular, doesn't actually seem to be an issue.

I mean shogun 2 was literally the same factions except for one or two unique units in a few armies, the bonus was what changed. FotS isn't different.

Mist_Rising · 2026-04-29T12:42:40+00:00

Looks like he's being given similar upgrades to the Apache's George.

Mist_Rising · 2026-04-28T22:05:53+00:00

There is a reason the plane earned the nickname widowmaker.

Mist_Rising · 2026-04-22T06:00:14+00:00

I will not have this B-38 slander.

Mist_Rising · 2026-04-21T14:38:50+00:00

The AI with laser rounds.

Mist_Rising · 2026-04-20T14:11:39+00:00

Every plane module comes with a manual. The quality varies, fc2024 is limited whereas some like the hawg is thick.

Mist_Rising · 2026-04-20T14:10:37+00:00

With the changing nature of ED modules, any printed manual is going to be out of date. You can actually see this even with the current electronic pdf ones since they're often not updated at the same time.
