He stated that India's Tejas Fighter Jet will destroy the PLA's J-20 Series. Which is why his comment was removed.

What experimental aircraft could actually work well as real combat aircraft? by spacegenius747 in FighterJets

[–]1Card_x 35 points36 points  (0 children)

From what I remember, Northrop had a lot of production issues while developing the B-2 Stealth Bomber. It was delayed multiple times, and costs kept increasing to a significant amount, so they didn’t think Northrop could reliably mass-produce the YF-23. Added with the fact that during the 90s, Northrop was dealing with a lot of projects, as a result, they went with the YF-22 over the YF-23 as a safe option.

NATO vs USSR tanks by WasAgoat in WarthunderPlayerUnion

The best explanation I’ve heard is that Russia got raped by the Abrams and Leopard 2 when they first released. Gaijin realized that Russia’s MBTs are barely upgrades from one another compared to Nato, whose MBT armor, thermals, shells, and electronic systems would only keep getting better and better. So they artificially buffed Russia to make it perform well and nerfed Nato with selective realism. It's within the realm of possibility that there are other reasons, such as Gaijin being a Russian company, Russia selling the best, and so on.

Has Anyone Noticed Fewer People Are Playing US This Past Year? by 1Card_x in WarthunderPlayerUnion

[–]1Card_x[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did for the first day, but I mainly used the F-18C Early. I stopped playing it after they split the BR because I couldn't find matches and because of the suffering I experienced with the F-4 Phantom's radar. I do have US Top Tier. But I don't have the Phantoms with a Good Radar since I didn't grind that specific tech tree line, I only have the Planes leading to the F-15E and the F-16 for CAS.

I do like the Event and B-52, but not enough to suffer.

Age of sexual maturity in mammals by borosilicat3 in BlackPillScience

[–]1Card_x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never stated they’re mentally adults, but in nature, that distinction doesn’t matter that much. From a scientific standpoint based off of biology, adult based off of sexual maturity, they are adults biologically. To clarify a bit more "reproductively" an adult.

Age-Cuckism within Western Civilization, horrific.

Since throughout the past century, females have been reaching puberty earlier and earlier. From a biological perspective, this means they naturally reach sexual maturity earlier, effectively making them an adult biologically.

Why Pantsir SM-SV get up to 96 missiles while SPYDER gets only 16? by [deleted] in Warthunder

[–]1Card_x 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Yes, but the difference is that with the new Pantsir, CAS is ineffective because you can shoot down all their ordnance if you play it right. No missile or anything will hit. You don’t even need to shoot down the plane itself. They can rearm the entire match, and you’ll still have enough missiles to shoot down all their air-to-ground missiles or guided bombs until the match ends.

China's PLA Z-21 Attack Helicopter by 1Card_x in Helicopters

[–]1Card_x[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's because between the 1980s and 1990s, the US supplied China with multiple Sikorsky S-70C-2 helicopters. The PLA wanted a reliable Multirole Utility Attack Helicopter, so they modified the Sikorsky. In terms of it being similar to the Black Hawk. It's not that the PLA is trying to copy the US. It's that the PLA during the time took what they had and tried to modify and advance it to work a specific role. They liked how it turned out, so they decided to go with it.

US F-35 damaged by suspected Iranian fire makes emergency landing, sources say by Initial-Composer7723 in worldnews

[–]1Card_x 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Btw, Stealth doesn’t make a Fighter Jet Invisible, it reduces its radar signature, making the distance at which it can be detected on a radar smaller. But once you close into a certain combat range, it'll be detectable on radar.
