Jets & Planes but no UAV's here.

I've been saying this for sometime now in this thread and elsewhere. THANK YOU for for giving these precision weapons another look. I well remember watching a B-1 flying low and level dropping bombs on a trench line on the evening news no one walked away from it. After that happened a few times, the mere act of dropping leaflets on or near trenched or other defensive positions saying surrender or you'll be bombed was enough to convince them to do just that. The video on the news reminded me of the Italian mass surrenders in Africa during WWII.

We cannot deny technologies continuing advancement. However once we get to "kill capable" laser weapons I think I'll just take a long holiday and play with what I have prior to that time. I know when the time comes down the road I'll be submitting aircraft with SNIPER, LITENING etc. targeting pods. We are making progress and NLOS has lead the way from the last patch.

We're getting there as Andy and Don are still managing to squeeze out and manipulate the software to give us the best game platform possible.

Couldn't get this on my last in time. Some might find this interesting...

In the first video open up the info section for the weapons data.

Nice straight and narrow. Makes me wonder if the bomb drop zone in the game is too long and should be shorter with a more "with a focused punch" if you will.

I had at one time early in this thread videos showing incoming test and actual bombing runs on targets using targeting pods. Those targets were locked on at distances out to 50Km+. That was 1st at best 2nd Gen pods. Those pods are now into their 5th or 6th Gen depending on manufacturer. Accuracy is no longer really an issue for the major players. Russia was slower than most and only really got into the "game" in the last few years.
Those post are in here, some saw them I believe and commented on them however, seems funny that those videos became "dead links" in less then a few weeks. I'm thinking they were not meant to be posted by I believe Lockheed Martin at the time. Maybe they might work now as the systems are more advanced.

I'm slow on the edits tonight-sorry!

The post on referred to concerning the Targeting Pods in located on
Page 6 Post 56 12/11/2011 on my computer. Those videos are indeed still dead (404 error code.) however the posts that follow indicate some watched those videos with comment. Also my above distances were incorrect and should read 25NM and 35NM for those targeting videos.

And now I see what they did, found new videos and some I recognize from that above mentioned Post, they've covered some of the data. However there's a very quick video of a boat in the water taken from 40NM out in the upper right corner.

Some more from the original videos the air base scene was from the distance noted in my 11 Dec. 2011 post.

I gave the wrong "scene" from the video I referred to in my last concerning the boat shot. I have "captured" the right "scene" below of possibly a small fence line protected production or storage facility. For scale note the white truck in the upper right center portion of the facility or vehicles just outside of it along the bottom length of it. The location of the distance mark in the snapshot is still in the upper right @ 40nm.



If your a "true baseball fan" in a couple of days you'll know where I'll be for the next week. Take Care!
