So funny :megalol: Got me by surprise man. I did not expect that.

To whom it may concern,

I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that.

Thank you for you patience.

 

 

Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..

At first I was like "heh another balancing thread, should be fun to watch people fighting back and forth" but then I saw it was probad who posted the thread who wouldn't be among the people who'd post these threads.

 

But now it all makes sense :D.

I don't think this is a good idea at all. The UFO has an energy shield like all 9th generation fighters. This will completely unbalance the sim in favor of the Green Coalition. Not to mention there won't be any adversary for space ops.

Parachutes, man...parachutes. And a rock garden (or pet rock if no gardens available...). Guess this means the Hornet will be a modified -20 that has a drogue chute AND arrestor gear.

What's crazy is that as big of a film Independence Day was, it never immortalized the F/A-18 the way Top Gun immortalized the F-14. I think there was an expectation, however subtle, that Will Smith would become the new Tom Cruise (and there's no question Will Smith would go on to have a huge career), but ID4 never really made the impact on American society that Top Gun did. This, despite the fact it depicted the Hornet as the hottest fighter in the U.S. inventory (at the time).

well, slapping a US Airforce Decal on Some of the F-18s and F-14s in the Airbase Seen ruined it.

the fa-18 got blown up more than a few times in the movie, hard to immortalize something that is shown to be very mortal...

 

now maybe if will smith flew the fa-18 into space to hack the mothership --

 

Then I saw who posted this thread and I was like "WUT?"

saw probad posted it and was surprised...

but then I saw it was probad who posted the thread who wouldn't be among the people who'd post these threads.

 

dangit i better lay low for a while

xD That was pretty funny. Like others, I've clicked and I was with the preconception to go for another "stop nonsense threads", but then I just laugh.

 

Well done. :D
