Looks promising.

If I had a better computer a working joystick and well the money I would get it…
Any word on system requirements?

I'm looking forward to it immensely!

Mmmm, Harrier goodness. :up:

duz it come with thick argie pilots who target the warships insted of the troopships

hmm what was the score again 21:0 ?

Not if you count aircraft lost when those British Warships and the MV Atlantic Conveyor were sunk. Aircraft destroyed on the ground (or flight deck) count in my book. :ping:

So is the sim going to be freeware or what?

if you compare total loses the yes, but air to air combat they dont, as they are not in the air and are simply ground targets.

In one of the forums, the writers quote some of the teaser videos they've released (http://www.thunder-works.com/media.htm) as being run on:

AMD AthlonXP 2400
NVidia GeForce FX 5900 Ultra
1Gb RAM
Microsoft Sidewinder ForceFeedback
Windows XP
Frap 2.60

It looks like that was the original idea, with just a couple of programmers, but interest has been so great that they've now got a team on it so it'll no doubt be a commercial release.

i had the falklands campaign add of for CFS 1 2 was good this might be better well no might i hope

Kapitain, not to rag you mate but as it's going to be in all your posts, your signature should be:

Gentlemen in light of this morning's events I'm compelled to remind you that we are meant to be monitoring thier ASW exercise ....... NOT PARTICIPATING IN IT !

Just saving Abraham the trouble ;)

If they are killed on the ground they should count double since someone f*cked up really bad.

WOW... did you see that shot of the Vulcan dropping bombs...

my favorite warplane... next to the B-52...

I remember watching the status of this game 2 years ago. It looks promising!

It looks very interesting.

Look at the Royal Navy's last FLAK defense line. :hmm:
Pay attention to the Mirage in the first pic.

Just think if Argentina would've ultilized their submarines better against the British task force... :hmm:

That's exactly what I thought myself often, too...

The problem was more the bad condition they were in and the poor training of their crew. By all accounts the San Luis was poised to cause some havoc but couldn't work her torps properly.

The other of there newer subs couldnt dive, not much use. And the two WW2 balao class were just as useless.

Training and funding were the decisive factors of the submarine chapter in the Sth Atlantic, and both of those were long since decided before the war was even imagined.
