  1. Re: Sad news - War of the Roses servers shutting down late Feb :(

    Wotr was a great game, it's a pity it wasn't more popular and fatshark never really understood what made the game special. What was your name in game Destraex? I don't remember a Destraex. My...
  2. Re: Some unrelated recent military procurment storiess since I am getting bored of Ukraine

    It got shortened to three designs about a month ago in a very small and confusing announcement. The three designs are BAE Systems with the Type 26 Frigate; Fincantieri with the FREMM Frigate, and...
  3. Re: Some unrelated recent military procurment storiess since I am getting bored of Ukraine

    DCNS won the Australian submarine contract, like I suggested they would back at the start of the CEP. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-04-26/pm-announces-france-has-won-submarine-contract/7357462.

  4. Re: Some unrelated recent military procurment storiess since I am getting bored of Ukraine

    I didn't think there was any issues regarding financing (other than going over budget). You'll also have to explain what specifications were unclear, as the design specs were in the control of...
  5. Re: Some unrelated recent military procurment storiess since I am getting bored of Ukraine

    Kockums had (and has) never made an ocean going submarine, nor one that operated in warm and cold waters, nor one that was deep diving, nor one that had such a large range.

  6. Re: Some unrelated recent military procurment storiess since I am getting bored of Ukraine

    They serve Australia well only after Australia and the US fixed the numerous and major issues with it*. Not to mention the herculean effort of the RAN's submariners (no bias there :whistling). Not...
  7. Re: Australian inquiry find that the F-35 development process have been rigged to hide flaws

    They have very few capable combat aircraft and even less capable pilots. Australia has a much better navy if you want to factor that in as well.

    Read my post again, you can't blame me for Phier's source not being 100% correct. However you can blame me for not having the time to read the German laws.

    Re: Germany decides free speech is a bad thing.

    The German laws according to Phier's source are about speech that incites or instigates harmful action. A thing also illegal in the US.



    If the US has free speech why can one be sued for...
  11. Re: Some unrelated recent military procurment storiess since I am getting bored of Ukraine

    Other than run out of fuel? Not much. Collins is the more capable submarine class, which goes to explain why the whole A26 project is going to be cheaper than just one of Australia's future...

    Turkey does not have much in the way of a strong indigenous maritime industry either, so I find it a bit strange they've jumped into the deep end so to speak. Considering Turkey's planned use of the...

    Japan, DCNS and TMKS all believe most of the attempts were by China with the rest being Russia. I've got mail saying they were interested in RAN specifications as much as any one design (all the...
  14. Re: Some unrelated recent military procurment storiess since I am getting bored of Ukraine

    All the bids for Australia's new submarine were due at the start of the week, and almost comically were hand delivered due to daily hacking attempts (totally not by China) aimed at each of the...

    It was already hit by a sidewinder before the video starts. Unless it's common for Russians to fly towards the ground whilst on fire, which I highly doubt.
