The falcon 4.0 manual was quite the bedtime reading. Best forearm muscle builder out there.

Thing weighed a ton.

I think you're forgetting the absolute best forearm building exercise.

Air Combat (the og Ace Combat game) was a PS1 launch game in 1995. It's crazy that it has an F-22 on the cover!

The Army Men series was my guilty pleasure of games. Most of them weren't too great but the world was just so cool to kid me. Army Men RTS and Air Attack were pretty damn good but Sarge's Heroes 2 on PS2 will always give me nostalgic feels

Dunno what happened to the military flight sims. They were massive releases back then, but now there only seem to be sim enthusiasts recreating the Airbus A320 shuttle from Schipol to Hamburg.

Hasn't DCS kind of cornered that market?

The level of realism increased in some, such as DCS as warbond mentioned, decreased to super casual levels in others, like Ace Combat, and got weird in some, like War Thunder.

The 80s and (early) 90s were before people who enjoyed flight sims realized that dogfights were essentially over. I remember the manual for F-15 Strike Eagle II having instructions on yo-yo turns, scissor turns, the proper flight angles to dodge missiles fired at you, and almost every time in game you would get into a turning fight. I don't think that gameplay would fly with today's players. Most of the interested parties aren't like your football fans, either. They won't buy "Pacific theater 1945 (XII Edition!)" from the store when they already have 11 others...

The Nerf Demolisher was released in 2014.

The Chainblazer was released in 1994.

For all the F-16 enthusiasts that never played, or haven't looked at the Falcon 3.0 or 4.0 games in ages, check out Falcon BMS

Kinda sad that Command and Conquer isn't in there, Red Alert definitely fits in

Oh man. The OG Rainbow Six was the most complex game I ever played as a child! Fun times repeating the first mission multiple times after all my agents or the hostages you're meant to rescue keep getting killed.

A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Random twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Low Hanging Fruit thread.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. These include Social media screenshots with a title punchline / no punchline, recent (after the start of the Ukraine War) reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Low effort thread instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
