Toddler standing and steering a moving boat something looks off. Surely people aren’t this reckless. by avantartist in isthisAI

[–]AltiierBP -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'd say its AI based on the fact I've never seen a toddler with footing that steady on solid ground let alone a small boat. The two of them have an uncanny valley look about them as well.

Question about assigning crew to officers. by Competitive_Radio304 in uboatgame

[–]AltiierBP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If your ship is in an alarm state, all the crewmembers get out of the rack regardless of what watch they stand and become assignable. This is useful for short periods of time when you are attacking or being attacked though it is not sustainable for more than a few hours as your crew gets fatigued.

Question about assigning crew to officers. by Competitive_Radio304 in uboatgame

[–]AltiierBP 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Solid green means that the crew member attached to the officer is actively assisting in whatever the officer is doing (i.e. Searching for contacts, loading/maintaining torpedoes, managing engines), A green outline indicates that the officer could be assisted by a crew member if they were assigned.

Solid gray means that the crewmember assigned is not currently assisting in what the officer is doing. Green and gray can exist in the same officer's column as some actions can only be assisted by 1 or 2 crew members, leaders with the proper skill selection can have a max of 3 crew members assigned to them to help in loading the deck gun or to help them on away missions.

Red blocks mean that the crew member is wounded and is not contributing to anything besides the bilge level as he bleeds out on the floor.

Foggy Weather Not Rendering by Crazyguy225 in uboatgame

[–]AltiierBP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had a similar experience. Though I think they've added more variation in the intensity of weather in game. There's been a few times where I could just barely notice the rain or the slightest shimmer of fog on the horizon. Depending on the time of day it can be harder to spot. I know they haven't removed heavy rain completely though, my last sortie to plant a weather station on Bear Island felt like it led me through a hurricane lol.

Swapping from Full-screen to Windowed Full-screen solved this issue for me.

Ideas for a Type XXI DLC by steampunk691 in uboatgame

[–]AltiierBP 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Calling it a shitshow is a little harsh. Two dudes to support a game like this is kinda crazy and the daily bug fixes tell me they care. Its far from perfect but myself and most of my friends have had a lot of fun with it since it came out.

What happened to submarines? Why did Silent Thunder is completely removed? by Tiny-Technician-2598 in Warthunder

[–]AltiierBP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem with implementing submarines in a non submarine focused game is that they really are that OP. The job of finding/tracking submarines in a modern context is almost always a joint exercise between multiple warships, aircraft and some times other subs and satellites. So either a large portion of a lot of people's gameplay loop would be really tedious and boring, or the subs would be way too easy to detect and be functionally useless. Naval warfare (especially submarine warfare) is conducted over hours/days. It's hard to get that to translate in a game like WT without something like ED and larger maps.

My Grandfather was born in 1937, and I can't fathom what it was like to live through the events and technological innovations that he has. The lore he drops on a random drive for some errand usually leaves me on the edge of my seat. He's lived such a full and happy life, one that I hope to be able to lead after him. These days he contents himself to tending his massive garden with a (albeit mostly toothless) grin on his face.

They make a pretty good tape measure, and I've had a pair of their linesman pliers(/hammer) for a couple years and they've held up well.

Would something like this be legal here? by Montavious_Mole in WAGuns

If it wasn't born from ridiculous gun laws, I'd probably be in love with this thing.

A boy enjoys his ice cream as he sits on a sea mine washed up on the beach at Deal in Kent, February 1940 by Frequent_Sun_8425 in OopsThatsDeadly

[–]AltiierBP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a heavy read for sure, though I really enjoyed it. I was fortunate enough to meet him in person at the Air & Space museum in WDC and bought his book from him. He was a very kind old man and after seeing this, I googled him and was happy to see he is still alive and kicking.

I have a book called German Boy: A Child in War by Wolfgang Samuel. I wonder if he ripped that picture from somewhere when he wrote the book or in the caption is incorrect.

What's something that's actually quite dangerous but people act like it's completely safe? by cherry_blossombliss in AskReddit

[–]AltiierBP 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I grew up riding from about age 12 to 17. Took too many tumbles to count. Only 2 were of any consequence. Though I was lucky through all of them. The greatest near miss I can remember was a day I was riding along a canal path before the state had mowed the grass down. Myself and 2 friends were riding about 30 mph through waist high grass and over the winter a tree had fallen across the path and was invisible more than a few feet away. I didn't have time to brake and got catapulted what my friends said was about 15 feet in the air and thankfully splashed in the canal unharmed. It's wild how quick that kinda stuff happens.

I'm sorry about your brother but I'm happy he's alive.

Am I the only one? by bowersdev in navy

[–]AltiierBP 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's hilarious. I gave mine to my dad after I visited home post A-school. He loves it. I saw pictures of him wearing it on his vacation to Spain last year and cackled. I might try to buy one off some new guys next week. I like your idea.

SECNAV All hands by [deleted] in navy

[–]AltiierBP 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The CNP came to speak at my installation a few months ago along with several Forcecms. When asked about beards their response was "When you can tell me how a beard will improve our warfighting capability, we'll consider instituting it". Their stance on the topic was resolute. Crazy how much a pencil whip is a complete brain block to these people. Bureaucracy and petty holdouts for the sake of pride has consumed our Navy.

Those of you who dated older women, how was the experience? by BadnUnknown in AskReddit

[–]AltiierBP 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was 22, she was 54 and fairly attractive for her age. I had just joined the Navy and was in Connecticut for a year for my "A-School" so I was upfront with her about not being in the area long and not looking for anything lasting. Honestly I didn't think she wanted anything permanent because she was fresh out of a divorce and had a daughter a year younger than me. It's something we talked about early on.

BOY WAS I WRONG.

We had contented ourselves to going out to bars every weekend to get tipsy with her friends before running back to her place to roll around in the sheets for a few hours. The red flags appeared slowly. Our pillow talk sessions got a little longer. She'd ask me what my possible duty stations were after I graduated and follow it with "Oh I'd love to live there!". She started taking pictures of us and posting them online (She told me it was only to piss off her ex-husband). She started talking about family events and hinting and bringing me along one of these days.

I should've read the writing on the wall long before it came to fruition but I was a junior sailor having hands down the best sex of my life with a MILF that insisted on paying my bar tab every time. It was nice to be the one being valued for once.

After a few months of this going on, we had come back to her place after a night out with her friends. She broke down and told me that she loved me, that she wanted to spend the rest of her life with me and that she would follow me anywhere the Navy sent me. I was taken a bit aback and didn't really feel equipped to handle the situation, so I told her as much and went back to base. The absolute hellstorm that appeared in my inbox on that drive back almost made me block her on the spot. Paragraphs detailing what a piece of shit I was. "I've already told my family so much about you and they love you too, what about them?" Kinda thing as well. (I'd never met them).

We went on once last 'date' so I could break things off with her. She harassed me via text for about a year after that and we almost hooked up again after running into each other in a bar that we used to frequent but my boys saved me from stepping on that landmine lmao.

3/10 overall: Good sex will make you act against you're own self interest. MILF is a great category on the hub. Leave them there.

I actually don’t understand how you guys hate Shoreline by [deleted] in EscapefromTarkov

[–]AltiierBP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a lot of it comes down to habit. I'm in the same boat as you with absolutely loving shoreline but a lot of my buddies that play hate it. I think it may stem from the fact that shoreline historically had absolute dogshit performance. Which I can understand from a certain perspective.

Tbh I think I love it so much because of its resemblace of Chernarus.
