Re: Comment about planes.

Okay, for one where did you ever get the information that a f-15 is a carrier plane? I have been in the air force 6 years, a f-15 crew chief for 6 years, and never, have I or anyone i know ever been stationed with the navy on a CARRIER. The f-15 is a Land based takeoff plane, i can assure you that. So if i ever see a f-15 on a carrier, i will surely doub this game inconvievable and take my money elsewhere.

Yep, totally agreed, now you have proof from a first hand source. THe Question, where did you ever learn that the F-15 was a carrier aircraft, or is this some kind of joke.

jeez give the guy a break!

An F-15 is a land based bird wev gathered that. You have to admit it bears some resemblance to an F-14 TomCat. maybe thats why he made the mistake

Re: Comment about planes.

Perhaps I need to reserch things before I trust my own thoughts..

To be or not to be that is the question.

Besides the F15 is a fixed wing aircraft. They are all right...it is not a carrier-based plane!

Re: Comment about planes.

Ok, first off, stop arguing now, that's what gets people banned, so break it up. Anyways, i'm ur regular military expert for tanks/airplanes/guns, ok, the F15 is strictly for airforce here's the only 5 used varients of the F15:
F15A: Retired, replaced by F15C, it's a single seat interceptor
F15B: Retired, replaced by F15D, dual seat trainer aircraft
F15C: In service, Used in the airforce as interceptor
F15D: In service, used in the airforce as trainer aircraft
F15E (the one that's in BF2): In service, used in the airforce, used as a strike aircraft (ground attack aircraft)
Now, don't say i'm wrong, cause, let's just say i have more than 50 sources to prove you wrong. THe F14 is a long range carrier based interceptor, it USUALLY doesn't hold bombs, it sometimes does. It holds short-range sidewinder missiles, medium range sparrow missiles, and long range pheonix missiles. THe F/A 18 is used as a fighter and ground attack aircraft, it is now the main aircraft on your regular US aircraft carrier. It holds a variety of missiles including the sidewinder, and AIM-120 AMMRAM. It also holds a wide assortment of bombs. The Essex class carrier is a mini aircraft carrier, the ones in servece today use Harrier II VTOL aircraft, regular aircraft can't take off from there. In the game it has F-35B (B is the marine varient, which has VTOL). In fact, the only aircraft in the whole game that could go on a essex style carreir is the F35B. THe only one that could go on a full sized carrier is the F/A 18, but marines don't have full-size carriers, only navy does. Don't complan that the F15 is in the navy. THere is no navy in the game, its USMC (MC is marine corps), so if it was the navy, the only navy aircraft in game is the F/A-18.

EDIT: Oh, in the HUD for bombing mode, the squares with X's in them are friendlies, the blank squares are enemies. I made the mistake of attacking a squre with a X the first time i flew.

Interesting read, dude
