Can the older models of Eagle be rebuilt or upgraded to the Silent Eagle version or is the SE something that has to be a completely new build?

How much is this Eagle of Doom going to cost compared to its competition and the latest model of Eagle(the K model is the latest I think, could be wrong). What kind of performance will it have compared to the F-35 and F-22,or would the newer European and Russian models be a more fair comparison?

Let's agree to disagree. Always, I say again, Always think "what if?". What if your air fields get cratered and your planes can't takeoff or land? What if your war effort is weakening because most of the veteran soldiers have been killed or injured because of a lack of armor? That is one of the reasons I like heavy armor you may lose the vehicle but your crew, a veteran crew, is alive and they can fight as soon as you get them another vehicle. The marines and soldiers that fought in Fallujah found that the best tactic to use when they took fire from a house was to call up an Abrams and level the damn thing, no more shooting from the house and no men getting shot trying to go into the house. A risky move would be to have your self-propelled artillery get in on the action, bigger cannon, bigger mess, more fun! :lol: A tank main gun or howitzer is more effective in dealing with a strongpoint than any grenade launcher, again bigger cannon, more HE that can go BOOM! If you don't like the mess you make bring in some Bulldozers and then continue to level every building that you receive fire from, in the end less of your men get killed and you can always build new buildings if the locals want them.

I completely agree that air lift is great when moving men and supplies. But afv's are very different when you move them by helicopters or c-17. Armor, the more you have the harder it is to be knocked out. Israel had one hell of a time against Hezbollah and they were using some of the best heavy apc's and tanks in the world, not to mention CAS that was almost useless because Hezbollah was dug in very deep. I think it would have been a blood bath if the Israelis had went in with a lighter force. Light and fast is good when going up against unorganized rabble but not when up against a force that knows what it is doing. It is helpful to look at the conflicts of the last few years to be able to judge what vehicles and equipment are worth the effort in procuring and what has been proven to be a waste of money.

Air lift is not the best way to go. If you have to attack quickly send in the air force and navy and bring your army by sea lift if you need to. Tanks and heavy apc's are much more survivable in combat than anything that can be brought by air. Armor works a lot better than active defense systems in defeating attacks. I think a heavy force is worth the higher price.

Would you go with Heavy machine guns as a standard for afv's and as crew served weapons or would it be better to go to a light cannon with 20mm as a minimum?

First time I got the Sherman, second time I got the Tiger.

I've tried to download the latest patch but it gets to 50% complete and then it goes to 100% and is ready to run with only around 5mb of the 10mb downloaded.

It looks like a B-52.

My horn, like some phallic symbol of my potent virility, is the last thing you see as skulls collide and mine remains the victor. You are now a bloody red ragdoll suspended in the air on my mighty horn. bloodninja: Goddam am I hard now.

National Public Radio(NPR)interview between a female broadcaster, and US Army General Reinwald who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop visiting his military installation. INTERVIEWER: “So, General Reinwald, what things are you going to teach these young boys when they visit your base?" GENERAL REINWALD: 'We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery, and shooting." INTERVIEWER: "Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it?" GENERAL REINWALD: "I don't see why, they'll be properly supervised on the rifle range." INTERVIEWER: "Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children?" GENERAL REINWALD: "I don't see how, ....we will be teaching them proper rifle range discipline before they even touch a firearm." INTERVIEWER: “But you're equipping them to become violent killers." GENERAL REINWALD: "Well, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not one, are you?" The radio went silent and the interview ended. General Joe Whigham is ordered by the Secretary of Defense to gather together a Navy Lieutenant and Captains from the Army, Marine Corps, and Air Force to discover why the services have trouble communicating with each other. He begins by saying that their first project is to "secure" a certain building, he asks each of them to go home and prepare a list of steps for the project management plan and bring them to the meeting the next morning. The Navy Lieutenant calls his Master Chief and says: Tell those swabs to: -- Unplug the coffeepots -- Turn off the computers -- Turn out the lights -- Lock the doors and leave the building unoccupied The Army Captain has his list on his notepad: -- Assemble the company -- Appoint guard and Sergeant of the Guard -- Take control of all exits -- Make sure no one gets into the building without a pass The Marine Corps Captain writes down his steps on the palm of his hand -- Assemble the platoon and supplies -- Approach the building along three axes -- Bring the building under mortar and SAW fire -- Assault the building under covering fire -- Sequester surviving prisoners -- Establish lanes of fire -- Prepare artillery calls -- Repel counterattacks The Air Force Captain types his list on his laptop: -- Contact real estate agent -- Negotiate 1-year lease -- Be sure to get option to buy

That's right your turn.

Is it a Howard DGA-6 Mister Mulligan?

The trailer is not for a flamethrower or to haul regular ammo. :ph34r:
