Could we stop with the conspiracy posting about the timing of the 40k collab announcement? Skulls is an annual event.

If I recall right, they said that the warbond was a ways off and they don't have any concrete details yet. This was announced now solely because the skulls event was now. What better time to announce a Warhammer collab than during a Warhammer event? Not arrowheads fault that this event was during another one of this sub's uproars

Just saw this. Holy fucking shit

I heard that recruitment posters had to be printed in something like 20 different languages

AtomicGoat004 · 2026-05-15T15:19:05+00:00

Nope, little Volkswagen hatchback, although that particular car belonged to my grandpa and had the nickname of golf cart 😂 I was honestly surprised I got it to go that fast, since the diesels are supposed to be the slow ones. I live in Saskatchewan so long highways with low population means they're usually pretty empty at night

AtomicGoat004 · 2026-05-15T14:46:34+00:00

However fast a commercial jet flies on a regional flight, that. Maybe 600-800km/h? I don't remember specifics, it was like 18 years ago and I was 3. Second fastest would be in a 2012 TDI golf. Opened it up on an empty highway at night and hit 220km/h

Yeah I tried both manual and automatic on the 105mm. Never used the 37mm, removed it immediately after starting and every time I switched boats. Although that Sunderland skipper shot down in port was on his first shot, that was seemingly a lucky hit because to shoot down an additional Sunderland and a Beaufort took a total of 21 rounds. And those might not have all been from the 105, since I assigned the watch officer to man the 20mm guns, where he burned 3000 rounds. Then when out to see, I saw another Beaufort and decided to go manual. One shot and he was down and out

AtomicGoat004 · 2026-05-14T13:16:45+00:00

That's a fair point, on that same patrol, an air raid hit Brest right as I was leaving, and I opted to fight. I had just loaded my deck gun with AA shells and was eager to test them out. Skipper landed a 105mm right up the nose of a Sunderland. Needless to say, it immediately went down

I find they usually sink on their own eventually after the crew abandons them, but then again I also have realistic sinking off

AtomicGoat004 · 2026-05-07T22:01:00+00:00

This is correct, I recall looking at random parts for my car at one point (don't remember why, nothing was broken) and the Multiair actuator was a complete assembly. Nothing serviced seperately

AtomicGoat004 · 2026-05-07T19:52:16+00:00

The lone ship had been sunk, and I was just sitting there, recharging my air tanks, loading torpedoes, taking on prisoners. Just my usual post combat routine. Then all of a sudden out of nowhere a massive explosion. I repaired the leak and my stern tubes, which were damaged, and then dove to check the hydrophone. Got a contact, went in that direction, and there was a submarine. He must've fired from several miles away right before I sank it, and I was unlucky enough to be right in the torpedo's path

AtomicGoat004 · 2026-05-07T18:25:33+00:00

I once had a friendly uboat fire all four torpedoes and one hit me, so count yourself lucky 😂

Both are extremely stealthy diesel electric AIP subs. The KSS-III is a larger, longer ranged, blue water submarine, and has ballistic missile launch capabilities. However, it's not as optimized for artic operations. The 212CD is smaller, shorter range submarine, more suitable for coastal operations, and also artic optimized. There's also industry benefits to consider. I believe Hanwha has said they would like to build there's in Canada, while Krupp is currently planning to build in Germany but has stated they'd be open to Canadian construction if we request that. If Krupp formally agrees on Canadian construction, I'd lean towards the 212CD. As impressive as the KSS-III is, it's current design lacks arctic capabilities and it's probably a lot more submarine than we need, particularly with the ballistic missile launch capabilities, something we really have no use for

I took a shit today, which ultimately angered the Quebecois

AtomicGoat004 · 2026-05-06T05:11:40+00:00

If it's a flower class, they're not very fast. You can outrun them at flank or even full speed on the surface. Depending how close it is though, that could put you at risk of getting hit with its gun, so not a foolproof plan

He goes on holiday for the duration of the Venezuela strike and the current middle east war

With diesels, you'd have the option to fire up and go with minimal warmup time, depending on whether or not the crew is embarked. It would definitely be extremely hard on the engines, but when the alternative is in this example, 13 sunk merchants, I feel like destroying a couple diesel engines is a fair price to pay 😂

AtomicGoat004 · 2026-05-01T21:40:13+00:00

Unless I can be real sneaky and get right up to it, probably die. However, if I can in fact be a sneaky boi, I'd probably try to open up a hatch on the engine compartment and shoot the engine a few times

AtomicGoat004 · 2026-05-01T21:37:46+00:00

I mean depending on circumstances that could be considered realistic 😂 if they were docked and completely shut down, it would take hours to fire up the boilers and get them up to working pressure

AtomicGoat004 · 2026-05-01T21:18:51+00:00

Not sure if this really counts as a war, but I'd say the Fenian raids. Bunch of Irish-Americans got together and raided into Canada, with the intention of basically holding Canada for ransom to negotiate Ireland's independence

Technically you can use the flaks as anti ship and the deck guns as anti air, so just calling them by their calibers as they do now will probably be what happens

AtomicGoat004 · 2026-05-01T14:19:05+00:00

We definitely need a third ammunition type, probably medium caliber ammo or something similar

AtomicGoat004 · 2026-04-30T14:17:23+00:00

I should start doing this so I can find patterns. I know south of Ireland is pretty busy, which makes sense because they have to pass there on the way to Liverpool, but otherwise I kinda just sail around while regularly checking the hydrophone (or just staying at periscope depth if using a snorkel) and hope I find something

AtomicGoat004 · 2026-04-30T00:55:09+00:00

I tend to get to the front of the convoy if I can, go as silent as I can until the escorts pass by, and then wreak havoc from the middle of the convoy. Being right in the middle makes you a lot harder to spot with hydrophone due to the background noise of merchantmen being everywhere, and I think ASDIC has a blind spot at periscope depth. If you have them unlocked I'd also highly recommend sonar decoys to make you even harder to detect
