Thanks for your advice, guys. I adjusted the brightness and gamma settings on the Dell, and SPWaW now looks much better. There are several advantages with this system--one is that I can now have my Generals' Edition installed in its entirety ...

I don't have a good answer for that one. I always presumed the OS wasn't happy with the intro, linked directly to mech.exe and didn't bother thinking about it.

Props to willy for nailing it.

Mods (hello???), how about a sticky for this thread, as it is a reoccuring question.

M-1938/43 120mm mortar.

The bomb does look bigger though.

<r> For a WWII-era warship, those are some very clean hull and superstructure lines. Wow, too bad the smoke obscures the middle deck, it'd be nice to see it to. Even the #3 (?) turret looks "designed".<br/>
<br/>
edit: wow, steveh11 read my mind! creepy. That <I><s>[i]</s>is<e>[/i]</e></I> a nice ...

<t> Interesting. The Swedish industries got much of their submarine knowledge the other way around: A sunken brand-new type XXI German sub was salvaged just off the west coast. The Allies demanded it to be handed to them, and Sweden complied....after dissasembling and documenting the entire thing ...

Ahahaha. [:D]

TROGDOOOOOR! TROGDOOOOOR! BUNINATING THE COUNTRYSIDE, BURNINATING THE PEASANTS! THE TROGDOR COMES IN THE NIIIIIIIIGHT!

<t> Ah, thankx for the update! <br/>

Seeing the competition from Asia, I'm surprised they've managed to run the shipyard for so long as it is. Ours disappeared years and years ago, Karlskrona is the only one left and they build navy vessels only. It actually is engines I connect Wärtsilä ...

<t> Yeah, economy is ofcourse the driving factor in design. The logistics process must also be pretty impressive, getting everything to the right place at the right time. <br/>
<br/>
I was thinking "shouldn't that be the Wärtislä yard in Åbo", and then I saw your profile. Åbo, Turku...whatever ...

1) MINES! (never get used to that BANG!)
2) Flame throwers (impending doom)
3) .50 cals (I hate that sound! bambambambambam bambambambambam)

Wimpiest sound?

50mm mortars - pju pju pju piff piff piff... [:'(]

<t> Sounds cool. I like the QM2 if nothing else because she, unlike the caribbean cruisers, were designed hull first and everything else had to be fit into it. A sort of "outside-in" approach rather than the more popular "inside-out". That makes here completely sea worthy while the box-like ...

BOHICA = bend over, here it comes again! (actually used here, mostly when management decides to change something because it obviously works)

<t> Interesting. There "may" be some testings going on, but I doubt it. The way our defense funding is going, there's no place whatsoever for attack helicopters. I think they did test the Apache and Tiger some years ago but cut short when it was clear no attack heli purchases were to be. Heck, they ...

It is a prototype with the Youngman circular segmented air brake for night-fighter versions. Don't know if it ever came to use, even though the Mossie excelled in night operations.

Maybe the coming HBO miniseries will correct that.

All those divisions, how many of them were at full strength? In other words, how did those divisions compare to Allied divisions? <br/>
It still is an huge achievement but as Max_H's figures say, it was at the expense of workers. Slave ...

How many man does that represent?

Depending on year, a rough estimate is about 2,500,000 - 3,000,000+ in the field units.<br/>

Quick breakdown, give or take a few<br/>

1 division: 10,000-15 ...

Don't forget the new WWII memorial either. But I guess that's right under your nose so you can't miss it.

Otherwise...yep, Smithsonian and Aberdeen.

I don't think they use anything more advanced than RPGs. Probably more AT mine weapons, looted or improvised. An RPG can, with a lucky hit, set fire to an APC though.

Just read that the much debated Strykers are doing great down there. Apparently, troopers love them.

I second that. At least in released games/beta games sections. It's confusing right now.
