"Perk Ordnance system"?

The mind boggles.
a) You pay for 1000lb'ers, you get perks back if you hit something?
b) You pay for 1000lb'ers you get nothing back even if you do hit something?
c) You pay for 1000lb'ers, you get part back for part damage?

Sounds like another kludge is in the offing.

"Added more barracks to fields"
Interesting, slows down porking, but will make base taking even easier the way the game currently stands.

Why not just make the strat targets actually mean something!

"Removed 88mm flak from airfields and towns.

"P-51D primary and secondary guns are now set up to the correct weapon groups."

Let me know what this loadout is.

I might have to come back.

Always with the negative waves Moriarty, always with the negative waves.

 Kev,  Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?

P-51D guns used to be grouped with the inside pair as the lone primary, and the middle and outside pairs as the secondary. It is changing back to that way.

I flew for a few hours tonight, heard folk talking about the invisible hills but I could see them fine, and was among the trees much of the night.

Lots of folks complained about a FR hit too, in the LWA mine went from 220 to about 150, so there's something there alright, not that it was noticeable on my FE. Might be the terrain though, becuase my FRs were back to 220 in the EWA later.

I did get some stutter a couple of times, seemed to be more noticeable when changing views rapidly. I checked the disk and some of the larger AH files and cache were badly fragmented after the upgrade. I ran diskeeper on it and it was much better. If that is what you are seeing might wanna give that a try.

Found my first set of invisible hills & can't access the score page. Otherwise, no problems yet. A compulsive field gunner like me likes the ack changes. Love whacking vulchers- now more opportunities.
