Fighting Steel

This was one of my all time favorite games to play. It got even better when some guys introduced new models and updated the game through several upgrades. However, now I am in Vista and can't get it to work. Does anyone know of a similar type of game that can run in the Vista world?

RE: Base AA not covering docked TFs?

<t> I tried someting similar by turning Port Blair into the Malta of the Indian Ocean. IJ forces have been trying to take it for months and I currently have four IJA divisions trapped. I've two RN battlewagons to air and surface warfare but I'm pretty sure I've sunk two or three IJN BB's and alot a ...

RE: The Pacific (TV Show)

I have been fairly disappointed with this so far. Band of Brothers was very superior in all aspects.

RE: Anemic SBD Production

<t> In my first game I've been keeping my carriers pretty close to Hawaii and avoiding any real engagements (though I did bomb the Mutsu pretty heavily while escorting a convoy to Canton Island) so I haven't run into SBD shortages, yet. I have noticed that my few VMSB squadrons are taking a long tim...

Glad I read all this before I installed the 1.80 patch.&nbsp; Any idea what's the matter with it?

RE: War Plan Red???

I have been thinking along these lines for a naval/land warfare mod based in the 1970's between NATO and Warsaw Pact forces.&nbsp; I think the WPO engine would be best to use, but how to model missiles?

Can't imagine how bad a TBD's performance would be hauling some big floats. The thing was a flying sloth to begin with.

RE: American Seaplane Carriers!

Well, I learn something new everyday because that's the first time I've heard of that.&nbsp; But... it's not really surprising given all the little gimmicks that the services were testing and experimenting with in the 1930's.

Aircraft Range Question?

Is aircraft endurance a measure of miles flown or flying time in minutes at cruise speed rating?

Nope, but there may have been a version on skies, you'd have to ask the players from the frozen tundra that one.

RE: Awesome Saratoga Color Photo

<t> Just think about the only existing examples of a pre-World War II constructed aircraft carrier. You can dive the Saratoga or hire RObert Ballard to send a camera down to the Yorktown. Other than that, I don't know of any other known examples where you can actually eyeball them.&nbsp; Of cour...

RE: Night bombing?

I've never airborne radar sets doing anything to particularly help night squadrons.&nbsp; They don't seem to do any better than non-radar planes do.
&nbsp;
The idea about more and smaller bombs is a good one though. Never thought of that.

I'm in BB scenario vs AI Japan and they are bombing the shit out of the Russians. However, my Russian subs are hitting their merchant fleet pretty hard too.
