Loadout on a Carrier

mapuc · 07-30-14, 04:25 PM

For some years ago I saw some episode of a documentary about the life on an American Carrier.

I seems to remember they loaded the weapon on the fighter jets when it was on the flight deck.

Did I remember it correctly or what?

Yes that is fully possible if not normal practice

So it is just in our game we refuel and reload our fighter jets while they are in hangar.

That's ok a game like Command, can't be to realistic.

Planes with loadouts that have ready times less than one hour aren't sent to the hangar if you order a loadout change. They are readied on the deck.

In RL planes are loaded on the flight deck, not the hangar bay.

Practice loads my be done by inert weapons on the hangar bay. Live weapons are never loaded in the hangar bay of a carrier.

On another note, I heard about this game and I was wondering how does it compare to NWAC and FC? I looked up the price for it...$79 USD for DL version? Wow!

Scrolling down the page or using search will produce multiple threads regarding this question. There were definitely some early flame wars that ignited when it was released, more so because of a perceived posturing of this gaming replacing the older legacy Harpoon series in both scope and depth of detail. Most of the early discussions had some validity of points on both sides, price, lack of a demo, UI, and playability. However, with the evolution of version 1.04, the price point and support by the development team and it's contributors, such as Baloogan, make it a very worthy investment. Since both NWAC and FC are no longer supported by it's developer and you're at the mercy of modders and Microsoft's updated OS's, the choice to buy and move into the 21st Century of this genre release makes even more sense.

Please note, there will always be some that try to derail the value of the product, but it has more to do with them not accepting the true value of the game in it's continuing evolving entirety. Also, I suspect their loss of local subject matter expert on a dying legacy platform is hard for them to accept as well.

Here is a link to one of many threads within this forum, you'll see what I refer too. http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=211268

Am I biased, perhaps, but consider myself more of a convert. I played FC/NWP, Harpoons I-IV, NWAC and now CMANO. It is the dedication of support by the development team and it's players, such as http://baloogancampaign.com/ that make this title a keeper for many years to come.

The price vs value question has been addressed before: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...6&postcount=14

Since I posted this there have been two more massive free updates (stuff that you would pay for in other games) and the number of available scenarios has doubled.

I fail to see how using another computer remotely is inappropriate. What is the difference between that going over to my buddy's house to try out a game, or someone posting videos of a product on Youtube?

The result is the same. Well...with the exception of Youtube.

And here's the biggest reason for me to be a demo supporter. I want to make sure it runs on my machine before I buy a game. I can watch all of the videos, read the reviews bla bla bla.

Shelling out that much money for a game that may or may not run on my machine or be very laggy is a big gamble. Just food for thought in my opinion. I always thought demos were good advertising and customer satisfaction knowing how the game will run on the machine.
