Serious question, have we committed any war crimes yet? Or is just having napalm in stock a war crime?

All war is a crime. Sometimes you have to be gay, do crime in a jet carrying thousands of pounds of explosives.

FlamingLiberal posted:Napalm and cluster bombs are both illegal under international agreements There are international agreements banning cluster munitions, but it's entirely voluntary, and a number of countries never signed on- China, the U.S., and Russia among them. Which isn't really surprising, just another lovely thing that can get in line.

I just started playing the MicroProse F117 game, and I found it to be still pretty decent. I use the Lockheed version only*, since there's little reason to play such an old flight sim aside from the stealth mechanic. The radar detection makes it pretty fun to sneak in, strike a target and then do your best to get out without being caught. It's also notable in that you can tweak the setting from 'cold war' up to 'conventional war' and thus deal with more variety in how much everyone is aware of or wants to kill you, and to some extent vary the consequences of doing the wrong thing. Its biggest problem, aside from the 1990s-era flight model, is the enforced 4x time accel, since it makes landing a big hassle (to be fair you can disable crashes if you want). *Reading the manual, there's a strong sense that they included the 'Microprose' model because that's more or less what they had done in F-19, the game they made when the 'stealth fighter' was still classified.

Ouch, there's a nostalgia trip. F-19 was the first game I ever played and I'm still amazed that being a kid of six with zero understanding of English I still managed to finish missions, recognize what missiles kill what (to this day I have no idea how to aim bombs in that one) and destroy the targets - but I never once managed to land the goddamn thing. After some attempts I just started considering the missions done when over the airport and finishing them with a spectacular Shift + F10. TBH, finding out the F-19 wasn't real hit me more than the local equivalent of the Santa Claus reveal.

Odd choice with using the A version of the JAS-39. But I guess the game is old enough that the C version wasn't a thing but I doubt it. Also yes, "Skott" means shoot. Interesting choice with using a Swedish language HUD. ..."Lycka". Wait what?

Yeah that's pretty much it. Also the comment about the Russian HUD made the realize why the Gripen one said Lycka. Because that was obviously the first translation result they got for Success. And much like the Russian one it doesn't work. Not sure why it didn't just say hit. Also "Skott" is also used incorrectly in that case, the right one would be "Skjut". I vaguely remember ACAH having a proper Swedish language hud for the Gripen but I can't remember how it was. No idea if AC7 had it or not.

I feel that Over G was an experiment in loving up every single type of popular flying game missions. At least we don't have to fly through rings. That was the original EA tutorial.

I'm going to admit to something - I thought the flashing red 'BAD' on the top right of plane names in the aircraft selection screen was something you added in as a joke about planes you hate up until this video.

SDBs seems like a good take considering they're guided glide bombs. Shame the game doesn't take that into account and just make them dumb bombs.

THE TRUE ENEMY! True Victory! I'm pretty sure the ranks are time based and not how much you kill. So to S rank you essentially need to fly an SR-71 missile truck zipping all over the map instantly and hitting targets with pinpoint precision.

Maybe that SR-71 bumped into an invisible wall and bounced off?

It took me a second to realize that the globe wasn't super-incompetent and pointing to a location in North America as the "antarctic" - its just transparent. You win this round Over G Fighters!

Oh wow, I haven't seen a final mission that bad since HAWX 1. Hell, the sequel even realized that and had you dodge space lasers while shooting down ICBMs. Also turns out I had heard voice clips from this game ages ago: http://www.audioatrocities.com/games/overgfighters/index.html Also has a couple of lines we didn't hear during the LP. What's annoying is that I think I know of some other badly voice acted flight sim game but I have no idea what's called other than it has a voice line of someone going "I got it, I'll shoot, shoot and shoot".

I guess the final twist is that the briefing guy's name is Graham? Got nothing. Nothing happened. There is nothing to say. e: There actually is a tradition of lovely PC ports sheltered by Ubisoft - the original Resident Evil 4 PC, for starters. anilEhilated fucked around with this message at 17:25 on Jan 25, 2020 |

I just finished binge-ing this. Where the hell did the MIC get all those battlecruisers? Were they going to have us destroy their secret antarctic shipyards but ran out of money before they could make the missions? I'm not sure why the gently caress else anyone would be down in the French southern antarctic territories other than hiding something massive. Could they not get the game to hold more than ~10 objects in the map? I don't understand why the game is so empty.

Because the game is almost meant to be speedrunned, or at least played as fast as possible for the highest possible score. Which if course clashes a bit with the realistic loadouts, but I guess it expects you to just get good with the gun or something.
