Last post by Skoop - Today at 12:57:51 PMQuote from: Jarhead0331 on April 16, 2024, 02:25:56 PMQuote from: Skoop on April 16, 2024, 01:05:48 PMI've heard many pro Russians cite that Clark incident in Serbia. They tout that as nato aggression and the sentiment is probably what lead to Putin's rise.
I don't buy all the nato expansion bad and caused Ukraine war that's being put out there. Something has to keep the Russians in check from gobbling up the Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania. Eastern Europe is thriving living free from Russian rule, no way that would happen with out nato.
We wouldn't need to move nato East if Russia would let Eastern Europe live in peace.
I think really, the failure is letting the Russians become enemies 22 years ago. Nato moving East could have been a friendly alliance with Russia moving closer, some how diplomacy dropped the ball 20+ years ago.
I'm certainly not pro-Russian. Just pragmatic, level-headed and citing a very well-documented fact. I personally draw no connection between the Pristina incident and the rise of Putin.
Wasn't directing that at you. I've debated the Ukraine topic in other places with actually Russian guys, and they all bring up the Serbia incident.
Another thing they bring up is, was the maidan a true organic Ukrainian movement or was it a sponsored cia coup like the Russians say ?
I've had actual Ukrainians tell me it was a genuine organic movement, but I'm starting to see some Maidan was a cia coup on western sites.
I gotta say it's awkward telling your Russian friend he's eating a propaganda shit sandwich, then come to find out he was right.

Computer Gaming / Re: DCS Discussion
Last post by Skoop - Today at 12:47:02 PMHow much do you want to delve into the dcs editor?
There's some dynamic based mission templates out there, you can download them on the dcs site.
There's also the liberation campaign that works like a 3rd party app.
The pretense campaign seems pretty good, the dev just announced he's quitting dcs though.

Modelling and Miniatures / Re: He-162 A-2 Salamander
Last post by JudgeDredd - Today at 10:39:20 AMThe painting isn't quite what I hoped for.
It's rough in places. I tried to hand paint that bit round the nose because it's curved...but I don't have a steady hand. Additionally, when I was doing the green, I had some overspray into the blue. So I tried to touch that up but the paint brush wasn't playing ball and - well, it was a bit of a pita...those are the reasons I don't like the painting aspect.
But I'll get the decals on and give it a dirty wash and hope that covers some of the blemishes.

Last post by GDS_Starfury - Today at 07:36:05 AMmy understanding is that most of the drones and cruise missiles were shot down with Sidewinder type missiles which are relatively cheap and plentiful.
