Fallout Re: The FASTBOAT Patch page.

Well the last post sure as poop fell through since everything seems in "flux" all the time around here. Folks I'll just say when it shows up here you'll be the first to notice though a handful of you know the signs that something is finally "afoot" the two years since my last input sure has felt more like it was double that. Anyway my real purpose here...

Just downloaded the new Patch 10b (It shows as 10 in the game is that correct?) and I see the gunships are still in. I have changes in this area such as the SPECTRE was retired from combat operations last year (Some will be used as laser weapons test platforms.) plus...

The new AC-130 "GHOSTRIDER" gunship will join the "SPOOKY" operationally 3-6 months after the next years Patch which will need to entered plus...

JORDAN has operated the CN 235/295 "Pocket Gunships" for a while now so there's a couple of ADDS plus the same as an "update" version to carry new weapons as shown next...

I don't want to "spin my wheels" here if these gunships are going away as I truly thought was going to happen this year based on the various posts concerning this very topic. If the matter is still being looked at concerning how they work in attack mode within the game great, But would request a little guidance on how to proceed as I believe that the CN 235 will involve more "players' such as Italy etc.

The last has "live" weapons on target firing video. And yes those are HELLFIRE missiles on there which both of ours wil carry a well.

I'll await further guidance when the New Patch Release Hangover (NPRH)" is well...over. (Did he really just post that!)

Regards,
Pat

As a reminder I would request that the "normal rules" of this thread would please be respected as noted in Post #1/Para #1-Thank You.

In the next month or so Andy and Don will embarking on another several months of putting together the next patch pulling together the many issues related to the game over the last year. Many others will more directly contribute as well and I only wish I was amongst them. Maybe I can pull something together towards the end if Don "green lights" me, we'll see.

This time of year is always difficult for all involved with it and it means personal sacrifice at times. We don't always agree and that's fine as long as we don't give up and continue the "fight" to keep our games at the fore front of this genre.

It is my hope the below, which was brought to my attention from a co-worker (In my section alone we have at least 130+ years of retired military experience and other 20 years on top of that from a couple of veterans also in the section.) will set the tone and when needed provide some relief by those that need it.

As this next deals with possible future DOD applications that might have ramifications across the board covering everything from vehicle self protection/defense, offensive countermeasures, crew and passenger integrated protection systems, combat vehicle medical field support, advanced comms and frontline HQ support. This is currently in reality, a commercial venture that is truly showing promise that has gotten the interest of the DOD recently. This falls under a broad based program simply known as either MIT/or MITT.

Of course I'll be tracking it as news of it is available and the DOD decides to act upon the whole "system" as a whole or dissect it into the parts it wishes to pursue as MIT/or MITT at it's core is a modular system.

Again the last sentence of para three is the driver here and hopefully MIT/or MITT will fill that niche as we see the future of battlefield technology yet to come.

About that Patch, normally mid-March to mid-April for release providing no major issues are involved. Just saying!?!

Again for all the hard work that's been done and the rest to come, this video shows the commercial uses, the DOD press conference is at the end of the video.

20 and a wake up.
