Estes is a minorly famous brand for making flying rocket models (some assembly required). They are so common in US hobby stores, they are frequently overlooked and run from very cheap to almost seriously expensive.

how did you find that comment?

that was more than a year ago

Gaijin running 4 US premiums as the Xbox โ€œsaleโ€ is a joke. Not even the premiums that are going away after this sale are on saleโ€ฆ

Just donโ€™t run it in the first place if youโ€™re going to do that.

What maps does everyone have banned, and why?

Iโ€™ve banned serversk because it is garbage, and Iโ€™ve banned mysterious valley in air because itโ€™s always cloudy (and the clouds are at the most inconvenient height ever).

Golan heights (air spawns)

Unfortunately the devs made 2 Golan heights versions so I banned the more common one. It is an absolutely horrible map for any BR, zero terrain cover whatsoever except for a tiny spot in front of the main airfield on the north side. On top of that the bases are placed in the most obnoxious way so that they funnel your entire team into one area to get decimated by anyone with half a brain. Only good part about it is the funneling happens for both sides so I can get a decent about of kills if I play it right.

This map should be studied as an example of how to not make a map. Iโ€™ve had it banned for years now. You know a map is absolute trash when you pick to ban that over Campania.

Berlin or Fire Arc depending on what BR range Iโ€™m playing.

I donโ€™t have any air or ground maps banned.

Seversk/Aral Sea/Abandoned Town

I love taking my MBTs into CQC /s, whichever gets banned depends on which one I get the most while playing

I canโ€™t remember what my Air ban is but it should be Golan Heights, ARB maps in general are quite boring and Golan is flat and boring.

Advance on the Rhine/Normandy/Fields of Normandy depending on whatโ€™s in rotation.
If the game is spamming out Sweden I ban that instead (more than 2 or 3 times in a row)
I generally cannot stand maps with sub 30 second time to contact lmao.

โ€œIs this planeโ€™s insane wobbling at all accurate?โ€

โ€ฆ Apparently it is.

I recently went to a war museum. It was a very educational and interesting. I spoke with a few Vietnam Veterans there.
See attached pics.

Thought Iโ€™d share their videos, they are incredibly cinematic and high quality โ€œloud noises warningโ€

I think the one Iโ€™ve had banned for the longest amount of time is Fire Arc / Kursk. Just despise it. No cover anywhere (particularly painful late game when all the CAS / Heli spam comes out). Spawn to spawn firing, both flank caps are in absolute no manโ€™s land, with both sides having ridge lines to camp not only the caps themselves but the hundreds of metres to approach them.

Occasionally I switch my ban to port norovorosovsky or whatever itโ€™s called. Every single variant of that map is horrific. I especially hate the train yard one. No matter where you go thereโ€™s about a dozen different directions you can be shot from. The standard version is also really bad because it has that no manโ€™s land courtyard in the middle, and itโ€™s just two teams hugging an โ€˜Lโ€™ shaped building line, absolute snooze fest campy gameplay.

@Morvran
Apologies if Iโ€™m remembering wrong, but IIRC you have the Indian Jaguar, Would you recommend it for sim? Itโ€™s pretty cheap on the market right now so I was considering picking it up with the kfir C.10

Mind filling me in?

He claimed to be an Abrams crewman from 2004-2011, during which time he would have been 10-17. So obviously he could not have been one.
