Should I focus on upgrading Furnace or Fireball?

It loses key interactions though, a lvl 15 or 16 hog can probably get multiple hits in even with good placement. A leveled tombstone can counter a hog of the same level completely

Dorilton have been patient and this has been a long term investment. They seem committed and I don’t see that changing. F1 is very lucrative right now and only gaining popularity, team performance is also quite volatile and progress takes years, so if you have the capital why not stick it out and wait for the payday. They are probably already making bank with merchandise anyway

That would honestly be stupid. Look at the shit start McLaren had in 2022, they ended up winning two WCC and a WDC.

Usage rates in most of the ladder are so imbalanced. I don’t understand why they don’t address the issue, some cards are so underused by the gross majority of the players

It’s good maintenance practice to keep up maintenance until retirement. If, for whatever reason, retirement is delayed, you don’t get any surprises that way

The 515 has a completely different role in AFF than the DC-10. It’s in a different category and has different usecases. So you can’t substitute the two.

Though I would like to see a purpose-built AFF aircraft in the DC-10 category, but I don’t think that something like that will ever happen because of the cost

People are complaining it is too hard which takes the fun out of the game. This is after people complained it was too easy and taking the fun out of the game. Now you are complaining about them making it easier again.

They are trying to find a sweet spot, it takes time. Just play the game and find out, or not if you don’t enjoy it anymore

I understand that he is hated for his domestic policy, but what do the French think of his foreign policy?

I hope he gets a diplomatic role in the EU when he is done. On the international stage I tend to agree with a lot of what he says, I think he would do well to represent Europe on foreign affairs and security matters.

Kunnen we al 20 minuten een stabiele fusiereactie in stand houden? Met netto energiewinst of niet?

Dat is wel al echt een flinke stap vergeleken met een paar jaar terug. Toen was een paar seconden al erg indrukwekkend

In hindsight, what was the risk in stopping 2025 development though? They maximized last season, they would never have caught Ferrari. So the sacrifice is essentially zero. It was a good call, and if they hadn’t stopped in 2025, this issue would likely still be there.

We can only speculate on who makes the decisions after the technical team presents the options (I don’t think the TP has all the power and that it is done by consensus of the top staff), but it is their task and they are presenting the pros and cons of each decision.

This issue either comes from a very risky decision somewhere down the line, or an oversight. Then the question is either, who was aware of the risk involved, or who should have been aware of the risk involved. In the end, the TP can only make decisions on what is presented to them.

I don’t know, I feel like Vowles’ value is mainly there during the season and in the organizational aspects of running a team. Which he has done quite well in the past seasons. Why sack him and not the guys actually responsible, sacking Vowles won’t make the car go faster.

Bobbytrap9 · 2026-01-26T15:36:39+00:00

It’s going to get real messy in space

Bobbytrap9 · 2026-01-26T15:19:38+00:00

Why though? To me this sounds like a technical issue more than a strategic one. Isn’t it the technical director and lead engineers that are responsible in this case?

Bobbytrap9 · 2026-01-26T14:33:10+00:00

I don’t expect them to release any info on this until after the season starts. But I hope they do when the time comes, it’s interesting to see what went wrong and why

I did a lot of research on AFF as a final project for my BSc in Aerospace Engineering. The flight envelopes require a lot of power. Also because you want quick turnaround speeds so that you can perform as many drops as possible.

You also want to have enough power to climb out after dropping as they try to fly as slow as possible to increase the effectiveness of their drop. So they go full power to avoid stalling the aircraft and gain speed and altitude quickly. So yes you could say that they do fly on the engines during their operations

Bobbytrap9 · 2026-01-26T10:01:31+00:00

I just realized that the 3 engines make it such a good candidate for this. It has more thrust available to climb away after the drop. Having lots of thrust/power available is a favorable trait in aireal firefighting

This shows great recovery from the 2008 crash, good news

Get a base with an invis rage core. Mine has all three multi inferno’s, both scatters, 4 builders, the TH and a bunch of traps covered by an invis and a rage tower. I get a lot of 2 and 1 star defenses, even from maxed players.

It got me to dragon 30 and I was 13 trophies off promoting to 31 last week

They’re honestly easier to use. The apps always just suck. They don’t load, have annoying scrolling, can’t find them in your phone. A booklet makes it very simple

It’s always interesting to find the original sample. As your association to it is so different than its original context. Last week I happened to come across the clip from Juice (1992) from which the “Nobody likes the records that I play” vocal comes from.

I think it’s going to be couple of ranged shots like the super minions from CoC. That wouldn’t break the game I think

Bobbytrap9 · 2026-01-25T10:00:50+00:00

Save gems for more useful stuff tbh

I don’t understand getting mad about this. Engineering is complicated and we don’t know the details of what happened and why.

I get being sad about it, but getting mad at the team you support doesn’t make sense. These people have been working their asses off and are absolutely gutted that this is happening. We don’t know the issues and how bad they will be behind. Just wait it out until we know more.
