That's why the Eight Air Force used Spitfires for a while.:rolleyes:

Or those Freespace guys. (Well how are we going to blow up 80 really big ships? I know...)

At this time the US and Japanese had about even aircraft. The Japanese Zero had long range, was faster than the American Wildcat and could climb and turn better. The F4F Wilcat used by the US Navy and Marines at Midway was slower, but had better armaments, self sealing fuel tanks, and could...

Thank you for the corrections. But at least I got the gist of it. Hmmm.... I guess the light carriers were providing fighter cover for Yammamoto's group. But he'd learn about having effective figter cover soon enough. :D

I thought the Saratoga was also at Midway. Also, the Japanese had several light carriers along which also got mauled. The fleet carriers what were sunk were the Hiru, Soru, Kaga and Akagi. Another Midway- Battle of Terra parallel, the Broadswords going in like the Light Brigade made me tink...

It wasn't a carrier. It was a scout ship. It just happenedt to have a landing bay. It seems they used the WC3 Dreadnought aesthetic for most of the Kilrathi ships in the show. Including the transport Maniac destroys at the begining of invisible enemy. Additionally the show did not hit...

Maybe the guy looked at a Kilrathi grenade or something. People do lose part of their eyesight as a result of injury, on occasion. As for mental standards...the pot calling the kettle black.

Eu is to SW as Technobabble is to Trek. You can use it to explain anything.

Terminus. It had it's faults (many) but it was full-Newtonian. And it was HARD. But oh so rewarding. It was a completely different style of dogfighting and flying in general.

Why bother? He seems to be doing a perfectly good job of taking over from within. Heck, he's already chancellor, it's a short walk from that to setting a fire in the senate building and blaming it on some mentally retarded communist. Oops, there goes Ep3.

I never bothered to see the re-release. I'm a baaaaaaaaad fan.:rolleyes:

Anything involving Prophecy is somewhat of a disapointment.

X-BTF blew. Plain and simple. Lucky I got it on a bargain rack or I'd be really ticked. But then, the fact that it was on the bargain rack in the first place should have told me something...:rolleyes:

The number of sims out there with Dralthi look-alikes are too numerous to count. Freespace has its Ulysses, Tachyon has no fewer than 3 ships that look amazingly like a Dralthi, and what's with the ship on the StarLancer box. (although that one doesn't really count...)

I really like Tachyon. Unfortunatly 9 times out of ten (litteraly) it doesn't load in XP.

Perhaps you're thinking of the Dowager Empress of China. The one who sought to use a radical sect- the Boxers to rid China of foreign influence. The Boxers thought that by doing some martial arts move they would be impervious to bullets. Long story short this pretty much set the stage for the...

Yeah, Japan is an exellent example of violent images without a lot of murderes. But then hardly anybody over there has a gun, and the culture teaches responsibility for your actions, to the point of self destruction for the overall good. (Though this is less common now) Not to say that this...

Thank you all for your replies. I believe my question has been answered.

Yeah, I like that explanation too.

I was just wondering why the Flash pack went out of the arsenal after WCIV. I realize that they were black ops experemental weapons, but I would think that confed would keep something that could take out a superbase with ease in it's back pocket.
