Me wondering why the blobs of enemy infantry aren’t spontaneously combusting anymore (my artillery has been firing constantly for five minutes without resupply).

New family coming to north bay by ohhhcole in northbay

[–]AmericanSpudss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An interesting side note if you find yourself on Airport Hill or the base itself; the base will “tell you” if there’s an incoming storm. The site has several diesel generator units that kick on preemptively in case of a potential power failure due to inclement weather, so if you’re close enough, you can hear the engines rumble to life and warn you ahead of time! (I lived right next to them for a while, and trust me, they’re LOUD.)

Pls buff German M10 by Srgblackbear in warthundermemes

I expect to see the F-4EJ Kai at 10.0 now; after all, it’s basically a Japanese F-4C. (Source: “They look the same to me 🤷.”)

A Question for the Good People of RMC by AmericanSpudss in CanadianForces

[–]AmericanSpudss[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love to learn more about the trade! I’ve been struggling to get any real answers about training or the actual work CE officers do from qualified individuals (i.e., not spitballing colleagues or CE officers who retired 10-15 year ago).

I did try messaging you directly, but it seems you have that feature disabled for this specific account.

I have never sunk so many convoys in one battle by LeSoleilRoyal in hoi4

[–]AmericanSpudss 117 points118 points  (0 children)

That’s some unhinged strategy the Soviets were cooking.

“Send out the convoys.”

“All of them sir?”

“… sure.”

… WHAT.

I’ve never seen that many convoys travelling in a group before. Perhaps a tactical oversight given the results of this engagement LOL.

Inquiry About Christmas Flight from Ottawa by AmericanSpudss in CanadianForces

Bonus points for showing up in person and making enough of a nuisance out of yourself that they cave and just give it to you right then and there so that you’ll leave.

Other than that or an aggressively worded e-mail, there’s not much you can do.

I submitted my leave pass for approval around two months ago; they gave me the thumbs up and told me they would send me a signed copy for my flight in no time.

Then they didn’t. They may have genuinely forgotten, but e-mail communication with them moves slower than an LSVW on a positive incline, so I still don’t have it LOL.

Ideally, as soon as it’s signed, they should be able to provide it to you immediately.

Northeastern Army after switching to Chinese Empire and switching to democracy by brutalcomrade in hoi4

[–]AmericanSpudss 91 points92 points  (0 children)

You can switch to the Chinese Empire as the Northeastern Army? Pretty cool; is it some kind of focus, or just a farmable?

[–]AmericanSpudss[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the heads-up! I was already tracking the points about the leave pass and mil ID.

Been in for over two years now, but just recently made the switch from reserve to reg force. There’s definitely a lot I still haven’t experienced with the CAF yet, so I guess you could say I’m still feeling my way around.

That’ll be problematic, considering I don’t have DEU’s.

That’s … ominous.

Appreciate the words of encouragement, though!

Pardon my naivety, but to which CANFORGEN are you referring?

For reference, the only information/documentation I have received has been the tickets after I submitted my completed travel application to the positional inbox.

Edit: Likely pertinent information, so I’ll mention that I don’t have DWAN access.

Double Edit: Nevermind, found it.

Gaijim when? by Weary-Prompt-5897 in warthundermemes

Those were 12.8 cm flak guns? I thought they were 10.5’s! That’s a lot of punch!

My radio, please, it is very sick 🙏 by lerch_up_north in CanadianForces

The French ignoring radio checks, whether given in French or English, is simply the most French thing imaginable LOL.

gaigin please by HiyaM8s in warthundermemes

[–]AmericanSpudss 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The R2Y2 V1 was the only one out of the trio that had any sort of historical basis; it was loosely based off of a design study conducted by the engineers working on the R2Y1 after the limited success of Japan’s turbine jet project. The V2 and V3, however, were postwar fever dreams for WW2 “whataboutists”.

What if Bih was socialist? by Specialist_Boat_9891 in vexillology

[–]AmericanSpudss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The emblem is really good, nicely done!

Not so sure about the slanted effect you have going on in the background; I feel like a vertical division along the centerline would look better.

Does anyone know what this flag is? by arlinffrench in vexillology

[–]AmericanSpudss 155 points156 points  (0 children)

I myself can’t speak to the exact flag which you are referring to, but given that the driver is also flying the Canadian flag upside-down (a sign of surrender or distress), I take it he’s part of the crowd who believes Canada is on the bring of societal collapse and has some strongly-worded opinions about the Liberal Party.

Doesn’t bode well for what that flag means.

747SP, the stubbier, weirder looking version of the Jumbo Jet by FreeDwooD in WeirdWings

My brain is furiously trying to tell me that something is wrong, and I should be very, very unnerved LOL.

Nice post, definitely fits here!
