This was their only evidence of their claim of espionage. Due to the fact that they didn't have enough evidence to put them on trial and due to the laws in the area, they were placed into a standard prison and told to wait for trial. This took many months and a threat from the Czech government to arrest multiple Greek tourists that took pictures of the Prague castle, as there is an old but still in use military installation below it. Only after this, the local government agreed to release the Czech developers. The worst part is, that this was mainly due to corruption rather than any security threat. One of the mayors in the towns that they took pictures of for inspiration demanded they pay him tens of thousands of euros. When they refused, he started plotting against them. Pulled some stings and managed to get them arrested on the charges of espionage. This whole ordeal took so long that one of the devs missed the birth of his son due to the imprisonment. One of the devs left the company soon after due to mental trauma and the other one is still in there but has quite severe PTSD about the whole event.

Civilized countries don't do that and that's not how diplomacy works. Greece has a history of arresting tourists, because they're incredibly paranoid. They arrested British tourists for taking pictures of planes at the public airshow.
      Also how do you know about any mental trauma of the said developers? Are you their friend? They seem pretty well adjusted. This event happened in 2012 and the developer left the company in 2020, so what you wrote sounds like complete bullshit. He was working on Arma games for 8 years after the arrest.

    That "WW2" plane is the Brazilian Super Tucano, or the A-29 in the US. The Air Force was considering adopting them as a partial replacement for the A-10 back in the late 00's specifically for counter-insurgency, since they would cost less and be just as effective in that situation. The original plan was to buy 100, but a competitor's lawsuit resulted in the program being cancelled after 20 of them were purchased, so the US decided to give them all to the Afghans.

      @@oneofmanyparadoxfans5447 The T-6 Texan II was actually in the running along side the A-29 Super Tucano and a few other planes to replace the A-10 when the Air Force was thinking about retiring the A-10. The Army was against it and even floated the idea of buying some of the A-10s so they could keep it. It took an Act of Congress to force the Air Force to shut up about retiring the A-10 and start upgrading them. Now, the A-10s have a service life well into the 2040s.
      The Air Force only built the A-10 to prevent the Army from having the most advanced helicopter ever built: The AH-56 Cheyenne. Developed in 1967, the AH-56 had a top speed of 244 mph. It was a compound helicopter, meaning it had features usually found on a fixed wing aircraft, like low mounted wings and a pusher propeller. It was to be deadlier than the Cobra and some even say the Apache, which was developed during the 1970s and finally introduced in 1986. Some features from the Cheyenne are just now find their way back on to the next generation of helicopters.
      Technology thrown aside all because the Air Force felt threatened by a better helicopter than the attack aircraft they had back then. They made their bed with the A-10, now they are forced to lay in it.

      The AH-56 was cancelled because of that same advanced technology: like most programs consisting entirely of bleeding-edge tech, it never worked right (it only got the AMCS fight control system that actually _worked_ in 1972, for a start), and the project dragged on for so long that those same systems would have been obsolete. It would have required an expensive overhaul of the avionics that would be on par with just scrapping the project and starting over anyway. Plus lessons the Army had learned in Vietnam meant they wanted a twin-engined helicopter for the attack role, and the Cheyenne was already regarded as too big with only one. The Air Force keeps trying to get rid of the A-10 because upgrading it to modern standards is expensive and it would be torn to pieces if the US ever faces a near-peer enemy rather than one reliant on Soviet castoffs and first-generation SAMs, and it's no better at dropping JDAM than a fighter-bomber even now that it can actually do it.

    or a destroy a fuel silo mission would never complete because the game did not register that the silo was destroyed or it could not be destroyed.
