Welcome to the Combat Pilot forums @Obiwanshinobi. From what I have read over the last almost 12 months since I joined the forums they are trying to deliver as realistic a sim as their budget will allow. What that will entail in the long run it is still too soon to know since they are still in the very early stages of development. DD07 has a couple of embedded YouTube videos in the post that may give you an idea of what they are trying to accomplish.

The Accountant starring Ben Affleck and Anna Kendrick with supporting actors John Lithgow, Jeffrey Tambor, J.K. Simmons and Jean Smart. I was not expecting much when I chose it but I found it to be a good shoot-em up romp. Imo the 7.3/10 rating on IMDb is fairly accurate. Wheels

I never played it but I always got a kick out of the screenshots and videos people posted from it. Been following it off and on since I first heard about in 2011 at SimHQ. Sadly recent news makes it seem like the game may be at its developmental end and the studio shut down. Kerbal Space Program 2 - END OF THE LINE?

At the time it was not history and there really was not anything unique about the equipment since so much of it had been built during the war years. It was not until much later when most of it had been destroyed did the equipment become unique and valuable. For the most part everyone just wanted to forget about the war and move on with their lives. Now I agree it is definitely a shame that change in attitude did not come much, much, sooner. Wheels

Even though we enjoy playing war games there are waaaay too many military abbreviations to remember them all, especially if you never served. 😎 According to Google that is the Track Commander position on the M113? Wheels

I would think that you would want the Discord link at the bottom of every page to work? It has not worked since the forum opened last year and it has almost been another 90 days since I last mentioned the Discord link was broken. Current Broken link: https://whttps/discord.gg/7w5X227UbY Working link: https://discord.gg/7w5X227UbY I am genuinely interested to know why this is so difficult to get changed? Wheels

This was the ONLY thing I saw regarding this historical event anywhere. I even forgot about it and I was fortunate enough to have met Dick Cole in person in May of 2017. Still have the Challenge coin and signed book I got from him that day. He went up for a flight in the B-25 Pacific Princess that day. Lt. Col. Dick Cole "Start" 17 May 2017 Lt. Col.

Thanks for that video @Major Lee. Wheels

+1000 That has been a major bugaboo of mine going all the way back to 1946. I am aware that you could exit the aircraft in 1946 if you ditched unless the no parachute option was enabled. When the no parachute option was enabled you would just sit there forever or burn up in your cockpit even if you made a perfect ditched landing. That never made sense and I lost several AI squadron mates during Campaigns who should have been able to get out of their aircraft because of that limitation. Wheels
