If the last was directed towards my views 1. Don't read them. 2. The bomber issue has been discussed going back now for 2 years at least with the person(s) responsible for making the decisions around here. I have been unable to to post them because priority is given to armor, arty, helos then aircraft since that's really game priority here, though I know all inputs are encouraged. 3. Those bombers have had this equipment for longer then when I first raised the question by years. 4. The economics are affecting the game, see the last patch post for the Dutch tank situation, the countries in the game already assigned the F-35 that might not not see them because of the clamour to get in these planes (And other equipment.) before they're even off the drawing board and the realities of the actual production cycle as driven in most cases as much by developmental issues as economic ones. And let's not forget the armor fire sale going on in Europe and trying to track where it's going, again, as noted above by example. My window for adding equipment as agreed upon is within a 2 year window of expected operational status based on refs as always provided. Like the CM arty issue a while back I guess I need to "provide a taste" of the refs sitting in my favorites so in a sense I'll have put up and now... well I'll leave that part to your imagination. And this on my workday "Friday" - thanks for that!

1. Look under features:

2. Don't know if this can be game supported or not, but am following development.

3. Watch one of the videos to the right, one shows a cockpit display from 25NM out from the target yet it appears the pilot is on short approach to it. In the last note the table at bottom.

I can "put up" more if you want. By the way, though the shift in the USAF is towards the SNIPER the B-52 flies with the advanced LITENING Pod primarily. Oops one more, where do they all come from!?!

Have to go to work, have a great weekend!
