just a thought here, what if we had a group build, specificly aimed at building vehicles for mercenaries or rebels...
were talking improvised vehicles, like those used in Libya, to old and modern tanks, ships, helicopters and fighters like those used in Ace Combat Zero and Area88 or even in Real Life like Africa.

some exsamples, Porco Rosso.

Ace Combat Zero (based on the above):

or even real life exsamples, like the Angolan SU-27UB flown by Ukrainian mercenary pilot, Igor Valenchenko.

on the bench:

-all kinds of things.

Mercs, PMCs, rebels, I'd be up for that!  :thumbsup:

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

From an Area88 fanfic idea, all owned by one pilot.  Lineage is A-1E, F4D-1, F-102A, F-111K.  And yes, there is a smiley face on the tail. :D

There is something unnerving about that smiley face.  ;D

That's what the bad guys think too, usually after weapons release...or after strafing an LNG tanker tied up to and hard connected to an oil refinery with mixed load HE/AP/Incind 20mm in the 'Raider.

Yeah, speaking of guns and improvised fighting vehicles, I also remember playing Tiberian Sun: Firestorm with modified unit data files such that I could build missile-armed RVs and use them to fend off Tiberian Fiends laying siege on a civilian settlement I had to protect during the GDI campaign.  ;D

I recommend - War Dog Fighting other Peoples Wars - Al J. Venter


Also this may be of interest - Video of Mi 24 in Sierra Leone



"Lusaka Tower, this is Green Leader..."

Bring on the Technicals


What was the name of that game, I remember playing it or something very similar involving flying a helicopter on my old Amiga.
