  1. It might have been "not terrible" if they wouldn't have mounted that turd of a weapons system on it. It probably would have a pretty capable little infantry support/recon vehicle if they stuff a 90mm or 105mm in it. I know the crews tended to like them. I knew of couple guys the ran them when I was in the 82d.
  2. A bunch of M551 of the 82nd Airborne Division during Gulf Stomp v1.0.
  3. A bunch of 82d Airborne Division OD-58D from a recent flyover at Ft. Bragg.
  4. This was the vehicle the the M981 Fire Support vehicle was designed to resemble. The is the M901 ITV, which mounted the TOW in the "hammerhead". Ours just had lasers, optics, and night sights. It was designed to look like the M901 as to detract from its battlefield significance. Although, as you can see here, this vehicle only has a single antenna whereas ours had four.
  5. Images from the Galloway Viking find. http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-south-scotland-35871538 http://news.nationalgeographic.com/2016/03/160323-vikings-galloway-hoard-treasure-scotland-archaeology/
  6. I wonder why they are petitioning for a completely new helicopter and not just going with UH-60?
  7. I forgot to mention that the remnants of that padded leather hood were found in the Black Grave in Chernihiv Ukraine. Similar to the barrow mounds in Gnyozdovo, Russia. Both sites are filled with Slavic-Varangian artifacts from the times of Kievan Rus.
  8. There are extant finds from eastern Europe showing what was worn under head protection. First and foremost, avoid getting hit on the melon. I wear this under my Manvelovka style helmet when doing full target fighting. It is basically two pieces of leather with wool stuffed in between the rhombus. Helmet goes on top, riveted mail covers the sides and front.
  9. I was crashing every time I tried to launch the game playing as Chaos. I haven't tried again since the patch yesterday.
  10. The past few election cycles (including the current one) have basically boiled down to this.
  11. Probably seen this on other threads but here is one I took of a 58C.
  12. I had a close working relationship with the 58D providing air defense suppression and lazing for their Hellfires. Great little helicopters. I remember one training mission I was doing with 1/10 Cav back in the 90s. I spotted some "enemy" vehicles around 2am and was reporting it up on the squadron net, when one of the 58D buzzed over me, landed about 300 meters from the "enemy" and the co pilot snuck over and stole all their maps right out of their vehicles and then flew off. Hilarity. Also, the CH-47 was the scariest thing I ever rode in. I remember having some fluid leaking on me once and the crew chief said "if it stops, let me know".
  13. That makes me want to drive to NYC and punch someone.
  14. Some guided artillery rounds. Excalibur, Copperhead. and SADARM. They are guided by gps or laser, which an FO attached to an infantry unit would call for.
