This,Sgt. Omag, is the idea I've thought about in your thread.
You had only training, I have real action! Har!

Alright, fired up Joint Operations:Typhoon Rising and joined a battle. The objective: Capture as many bases as you can. The difficulty: Enemies! Plenty of 'em ('only' 30 - there are sessions where both teams have 75 players)!

Soo...spawned in the front line bunker (indonesian rebel) and looked for a ride. The guy here piloting the Bo-105 picked me up for a ride into the LZ.


Hey,wrong direction,pal! The blue base,the blue base!!


Alright, inserted near the opponent base, proving the superiority of the AK-47 (the green stuff in the outer right half of the shot is grass - FYI).


Didn't go too well, got spotted and, well...sorry Sarge!
Next try: A boat - with a grenade launcher. Harrrrr!


Didn't work,too. Someone decided to pull the old pirate trick - enter the boad and stab the crew.
Okay, base defense. Less dangerous, but still exciting, especially with an enemy AH-6 coming in. At least there was an empty .50cal machine gun around.


Got killed - again. I'm sick of it! I need real hardware! Heyheyhooo! A some lonely BTRs! Rock and roll!


Those things are rolling and swimming fortresses equipped with 30mm cannons. Incredibly effective - as long as there's no LAW around.


In spite of the heat of the battle there's still room for some tranquility and beauty...


The result of half an hour of action? A draw. Both parties had nothing better to do than besieging the opponent's base. Offensive actions? Nearly none.

But I've had a lot of fun nevertheless.

Btw: I'm running this game with normal (=medium!) details and 4*AA and 8*AF - and it looks simply stunning!

Btw²: Before you're running to the next store: This game is multiplayer only! And don't even try it with a 56k modem, it's gonna be a PITA.

Hehe, maybe an idea to make a Wargame forum for you and Omag (and possible others)   

Joint ops is a fun game.especially when you get in a server that has a ton of players in it.My favorite thing to do is take the little bird with a passanger gunning and fly as low and fast as possible.

I played it quite alot when it first came out with some of my Day of Defeat clan guys.But Day of Defeat just keeps pulling me back (even after almost 5 years now).So I dont play JO anymore.

Another thing that is fun is to take the little boats and run them across land on some maps you can go almost the entire island in a boat as long as you dont hit any really big hills.Though the engine keeps you from being "stealthy" if you put it on low speed and dont look directly at the enemy you might be able to confuse them long enough to kill em.

LOL I never got insulted for using the boat on land, but I have had 2 passangers in with me but we were all too busy laughing and got killed.

We hurried back to the boat and slowly made our way back to the objective.Same result.

LoL? Joint Ops on your PC? Forget it,mate!

Not Joint Ops. I've already seen my machine going down to its knees in a mass-firefight.


-edit: To whoever moved this thread: I now request a "screenshots from other games/sims" forum for all the IL-2, SF and X-Plane screenies.

Umm....yep.
