  1. From the album: Grorud's tour in 'Nam

    Lay me down in the cold cold ground Where before many more have gone When they come I will stand my ground Stand my ground I'll not be afraid Thoughts of home take away my fear Sweat and blood hide my veil of tears Once a year say a prayer for me Close your eyes and remember me

    And 1074 pilots were killed. This is me passing over a burning Huey-wreck. Hopefully the crew got out OK

    Not too long after getting my WO1-Grade, a tactical emergency was called to an FOB in Da Krong. WOC R. Hepker manned the minigun while I orbited the AO. Thousands of bullet were sent towards the 'cong, and the FOB held until the sun rose again! Flying in the dark with the UH-1C was truly a scary thing, as I had to rely purely on my instruments to keep control of my bird.

    On my way to the AO, I decided to test what kind of perfomance I could get out of the bird, and it truly did not dissapoint!

  7. From the album: Grorud's tour in 'Nam

    My first deployment with 1CAV, to the Cambodian border. I saw this beauty standing on the runway, so when the tactical emergency was called, I rode it into battle! GoGo-bird, or Chinook Guns-a-go-go.

    Rattler spent quite a lot of time in tanks for Normandy, but we rode them with pride!
  10. From the album: Grorud's WW2 Adventure

    I don't know who decided to put snorkels on tanks, but it worked somehow!
  11. From the album: Grorud's WW2 Adventure

    The Soviets drove their tanks over our pillboxes to give their infantry cover, but we held strong! Finnish grit and determination can counter most things Soviet!

    Kauffman yelling to Hart to get his StuG in gear. Plenty of soviet armor to go around!
  13. From the album: Grorud's WW2 Adventure

    The soviets are pushing us off the first line of defence in the Mannerheim line!

    The tail of Hepker. I saw a lot of that from my glider point of view.

    The 101st boys are lining up for their big day at Omaha. Better double check that you brought enough smokes, as England will soon be behind us!

  18. This is a 3x90 minute series about the story of five German friends, aged around 20, on their different paths through Nazi Germany and World War II: as Wehrmacht soldiers on the Eastern Front, a war nurse, an aspiring singer, and a Jewish tailor. It's a commission of the German national broadcasting organization ZDF, and is in German (English text available) It has a grand depiction of the fighting on the eastern front, but it still has it's flaws. But nevertheless, it's a great viewing experience, and the combat footage is awesome! Episode 1 - A Different Time Part 1 Part 2 Episode 2 - A Different War Part 1 Part 2 Episode 3 - A Different Country Part 1 Part 2 The series is also known as "Generation War"
  19. I just figured I'd add a list over immersive client-side mods I've used to great effect, that make the battle more intense in my opinion. Enhanced Soundscape, by LAxeman (102 MB) A quite nice mod that gives reverb and reflections from weapon-sounds! Especially in CQB, this is intense! I see no change in FPS using this mod either! JSRS Soundmod by LordJarhead (1005MB) Improves the sound experience of all assets using vanilla ArmA sounds! There are several comaptibility-mods for several mods as well (No Unsung yet, but let's keep our hopes up), and another one for reloading and bipods Blastcore Edited, by Opticalsnare (edit by Paladin) (88MB) A mod that improves explosions and smoke, with both sound and effects. It will impact your frames most likely, and you need particle quality set to high to make it work! If anyone else has any cool client side immersive mods, please do share!
