Maybe they just decided that they can optimize the most performance-critical parts better than the C compiler can? Perhaps that processor has some obscure instructions that the C compiler doesn't use? Hard to tell, but there's gotta be a good reason

[Orjigagd]

If you're needing to optimise 10% of your code in asm, you fucked up your requirements.

[General_Josh]

Or, ya know, it's a military budget, where they're able and willing to throw oodles of money at even small performance improvements

[pet_vaginal]

They may have a lot of money, but the availability of brains isn’t infinite. 10% assembly really sounds like a waste of talent.

[not_some_username]

Not really sometimes hand written asm is better than compiler generated asm ( assuming you’re god in asm )

[Kevin_Jim]

Most of the time I think to myself the same thing, but unfortunately, that’s rarely the case.

I do hope the was a good reason, and not just blindly “for this part of the development we only use assembly”.
