LRRP SG Watching Windtalkers now ...darn..the New Jersy is beautiful..one of the most beautiful warships ever.
beavan SG well coming from an arty background, i can pretty much understand what they are doing. i guess that's the beauty of war films.
riken1974 SG For what I know for modern warship it’s more possible as there’s a gyro system to compensate for the roll and pitch out at sea. Do not konw if WWII warship have this system. Very surprising that they can be this accurate. Even with gyro system the shell can even miss the target, saw it with my own eyes the shell overshot the shore bombradment area.
tankee1981 SG Battleships are indeed a powerful sight but unfortunately they are close to being totally obsolete in the modern battle field.
abao SG Their guns are still powerful for supporting land operations. Even though the Iowa class BBs are decommisioned, the US still keep them in combat ready conditions in case there’s a need again.
dork3d SG Iowa class got New Jersey, Mssouri, Iowa and Wisonsin built and seen in action... Didn't know there's actually six planned... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iowa_class_battleship
fallin SG Come on man, Windtalkers makes it looks as if they use fire bombs all the way man. Practically every shot they fire bursts out in fireballs.
SpecOps87 SG Haha, the grenade tt was thrown to kill the codetalker and the japs who were trying to take him prisoner...haha...the whole grenade just burst out in a fireball
Moonstriker SG i thought frag grens don’t normally burst into flames… lol… they just… scatter lil balls.
eugtay SG Some would beg to differ in this age of terrorism. If it was any of the Iowas, with their 12 inches of armour, that was hit in 2000, instead of the USS Cole, no one would complain about the $25 that would have been spent on touch up paint...
