May 15, 20242 yr comment_90527 It's definitely interesting to see all the new features for the F-4E! Report
May 16, 20242 yr Author comment_90565 Not sure if you have seen this video, but I was surprised at how good the F4E could bomb...I am not able to bomb much better than this with CCIP in the F-16C. Report
May 16, 20242 yr Author comment_90566 For you who do not own it, the take off and landing is on the Kola map at Bodø airport in Norway...and no, that is not how we pronounce it...lolz Report

May 17, 20242 yr Author comment_90677 No sir, it is pronounced Bodø....Next time we meet in Discord I will let you hear the word...it is not very difficult, but, it is certainly not Buddha - no offense. Report

Sorry it’s been a long time and I couldn’t remember. I know it has a unique pronunciation. Report
May 17, 20242 yr comment_90687 It was bothering me and I had to look it up. I think I was pretty close according to this. Just needed to hang on that u a little longer. Certainly sounds a bit like Buddha to a clumsy and crude American gun toting cowboy 😅 https://www.howtopronounce.com/norwegian/bodø Report
May 17, 20242 yr Author comment_90688 For those of us who understand German - it is also the first time I see the load out screen for the F-4E and the guided AG missiles - I am guessing the Bullpup is not a very good missile? (do you not need to steer it into the target?) Report
May 17, 20242 yr comment_90689 Perhaps you prefer “boooo, duh” 😂. That’s always been my problem with languages. I would try to say something in Japanese or Spanish to a native and they give you this blank look like “wth is this guy blabbering and in what language?” 😬 Report
May 17, 20242 yr Author comment_90690 AGM65s do not seem difficult to use, but if I manage to get a human RIO to fly with me, I think I will let him find and fire at targets - flying and looking for targets seems a little too hard for me (although I do it in the FA-18C and F-16C...) Report
May 17, 20242 yr comment_90695 Look (and listen) at about 6:05. How's his pronunciation @Erhardt? Report
May 18, 20242 yr Author comment_90700 Thanks Vonrd - his pronunciation is very close to mine - oddly Ålesund is one of the names that differ as did Trondheim, which we call Trondhjem, but overall it is very close to how I say the names, although he is from way up north....Sortland translates to "Black country"...do not ask me why...
