BF2S Forums High Flying Copters?

mouse for me forever used to use the keyboard only but you do not have the control. I can fly the blackhawk at 600 but its difficult to go much higer, as the climb rate really sucks. its very sensitive that hi and you have to fly with the instuments My mate Jimmany has got the chinese bomber over 100,000 as it is back heavy, when you go vertical it keeps going. however you cannot come back down again lol you have to bail out.

In a jet I've been up to 80,000m and I had a nice 30 minute free-fall.

whats with the swastika in your sig?

It is kind of disturbing somehow, isn't it?

Yet the communist logo isn't disturbing at all? Do you know what the swastika ACTUALLY means? If you did you might be less worried The communist part however...

I do, actually..

Cohammer will be pleased that his sig has raised eyebrows and an analysis..

Among other things, the swastika is the ancient Hindu symbol of good fortune, representing the sun. The right-angled arms of the swastika denote the indirect way Divinity is reached - through intuition, not by intellect. It has been a prominent icon in many cultures, as a holy symbol in Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism. In the West, it is most widely known and used as a symbol of Nazism.

You refer to the communist part.. Yes, the hammer and sickle is a symbol used to represent communism and communist political parties. It features a sickle superimposed on a hammer. The two tools are symbols of the peasantry and the industrial proletariat; placing them together symbolises the unity between agricultural and industrial workers.

With this information, we can presumably establish that the star is also a communist/socialist emblem. The five-pointed star in the center of the vietnamese flag, symbolizes the leadership of the Vietnamese Communist Party. The five points of the stars represent the workers, the peasants, the soldiers, the intellectuals, and the merchants.

Assuming that the hammer and sickle, alongside with the star in the picture are, infact communist/socialist symbols, we can be quite sure that the swastika, in this case isn't placed on the sig as a e.g. hindu-symbol, but a nazi one. The swastika was also used by the finnish army/air force during WWII, but at this point, I have no reason to believe that the symbol represents that, either.

How you find socialist symbols disturbing, is your business. We are all aware of the many crimes against humanity performed by the "communist" regime of the Soviet Union. I used quotation marks for the term, as it is also known that the Soviet Union actually was more a dictatorship and less communist/socialist.

In conclusion, the swastika in the signature, when combined with symbols of 20th century movements, can with a 95% certainty be interpreted as a nazi symbol. And it is that, my friend, why I found that symbol, and that symbol alone in the sig, disturbing.

End

Large portions of the text, including most of the symbol meanings are quoted from wikipedia.org. The dynamics of forum topics require occasionally fast responses. This, and partially also general lazyness, are reasons why I have copy/pasted portions of this post

Edit: My analysis regarding the star had been wrong, Cohammer explained (in a post after this one) that the star represents the US-army, WWII-era.. This, however doesn't change, but rather confirms the fact that the swastika in his sig is a nazi symbol.

in the east swastikas are seen as peace before nazi, my sig was merely pointing out 3 major armys, Red army, ww2 germany, and america
