My only complaint about Combat Aircraft is that I can’t get every picture they publish as a full size poster.

What of it?

Great articles, thank you. I guess I have to spend more time reading Navy Times now.

The US has done enough morally reprehensible stuff since 9/11 to have a very tenuous claim to the moral high ground, but that doesn’t mean we’re wrong in calling out the Russians for not even trying.

OPFOR makes the most sense, but it just seemed odd to see seemingly foreign camo on US troops, even in training.

Crye’s too rich for my blood, though they have no nice patterns. I just found it odd that US troops would be wearing non-standard camo, but if they’re OPFOR or the super-duper-HSLD types, they can probably wear whatever they want.

The accuracy of the weapon is only as good as the aim of the shooter. Precision of your weapons don’t matter much if you shoot at the wrong target. The Russians don’t even profess to care, which suggests a different - and more callous - mentality than the US government professes*.

In the open desert, sure, use dumb bombs. But in a densely populated urban area? That’s apathetic at best, callous at worst.

There are plenty of videos from the war in Ukraine if you want a taste of that. Massed artillery is terrifying.

I’m at work, so I can’t listen to the sound, so this might be really obvious to someone who has but...

Agreed. I’d like to see a TIE Fighter stop an AMRAAM

Do you have more information on the reliability of the CVNs, and other Navy ships for that matter? I’ve never seen that discussed in open sources.

It looks like chin beard to me, like Tito from Rocket Power:

NP. Buy it and drive it until the rust tears the body apart, then use it as a parts car to keep a less rotting one going.

Quoting myself here:

I can do one better - I saw a CTS Coupe with a cloth landau top. It had the stock wheels, but it wasn’t much better looking than the monstrosity below:

This whole thing is awesome, but keeping poverty caps on the wheels really makes it.

Is that overall reliability, or powertrain specific? Likely the only truly Fiat engineered part of the 124 will be the engine. If that’s reliable in the other Fiats, the rest of the brands reliability ratings are irrelevant.

I had ZIP disks too. Kids these days look at me like I’m nuts when I bring it up.

Good lord. What did they do, have a few dozen officers mag dump into the building multiple times?
