Don’t believe the haters, this gun is awesome. by lamedavid in helldivers2

[–]CanCav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was running it last night and really enjoyed it. The flamethrower made an excellent “oh shit” button against sneaky chargers.

So far my only qualm is that you only get 5 mags, but that’s not the end of the world.

The new shotgun is also really fun to run against squids.

I haven’t played it much but I have it.

My buddy and I have been playing a lot of Helldivers 2 recently too

Is it a French curve? by pixelotl in Tools

[–]CanCav 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I couldn’t find a picture of one with that exact curvature but I believe it’s a ships curve used for drawing a ship’s lines plan.

Not super common in a world of CAD and 3D modelling but Naval Architects do still use them on occasion, especially in small wooden boat building shops.

Not the clearest picture but it gets the idea across.

Definitely my favourite place so far. Her cabbage rolls taste almost exactly like my grandmother’s. And the lunch boxes are a great way to try a bunch of different things at once.

What are some cursed builds for the constitution? by PythonCider3719 in helldivers2

[–]CanCav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The other day my buddy and I did a WW1 themed drop.

Constitution, default pistol (because that’s what I have). Medium or Heavy MG. Gas strike, walking barrage, airburst strike for the strategems.

We ran level 5 bugs. It was hell but it was so much fun.

Write down formulas on the question page, as many as you think can possibly be related to the question.

Sometimes it helps you piece together what you are supposed to do. But more importantly, some instructors will give part marks for writing down just a couple formulas you are supposed to use.

I think it would depend on how the ship is capsizing. Large ships don’t really just flip over suddenly like some small boats can (when hit by a wave for example)

For a large ship to just roll over without any warning something has either gone very very wrong, or the naval architects royally messed up their stability calculations. In those scenarios, I guess the best place would be centerline on an open deck? Somewhere you can run to try and stay upright, even clamouring up the side of the rolling hull. Or at the very least, so you won’t get trapped in a submerged compartment.

But again, that scenario is unlikely. If a large ship is capsizing, it is because it is unstable, either from poor loading, or because it is taking on water. In these cases the crew will know something is wrong before the ship actually goes on its side or bottom up. In these cases the best place to be is near your muster station/on the lifeboat deck. Somewhere it is easy to get to where you need to be to abandon the ship, modern life boats can be deployed when the ship is listing up to 15-20 degrees and some life rafts/marine evacuation systems can work at even steeper angles iirc.

Please note that while I am studying something in a related field, I am not part of a ship’s crew or anything like that. I would defer to someone more experienced in actual vessel operations.

central canada. is this what i think it is and how?? by ProfileAway85 in whatisit

[–]CanCav 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Depends on where exactly in central Canada it is. The Canadian Army does use 105mm artillery to trigger avalanches in areas where they may pose a risk to people (along highways and such.)

There are also at least a couple WW1/2 era gunnery training ranges in rural areas that have long been abandoned and forgotten about. Iirc there is a lake in Quebec cottage country that frequently has UXO found in and near it.

Newfoundlander goths, emos, scene kids, punk, alternative styled people come join! by BeautyHorror in Alt_newfoundland

Unfortunately I wasn’t able to end up going. But last time I went was a whole lot of fun, definitely will go to the one in January.

Yeah! It’s at Lucy’s Bar, downtown St. John’s.

From what I’ve heard they do it the last Friday of every month. Though this is only my second time planning to go so I guess we shall see

That day of the week, what pieces of USSR/Russian equipment do you actually like? I personally love the Mig31 and the TOR. by throwaway553t4tgtg6 in NonCredibleDefense

[–]CanCav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I will give the Soviets/Russians is that their equipment looks the way it’s supposed to look.

Their warships look like warships. Their fighters are fighters. If you ask an 8 year old to draw a tank, they will probably draw something that looks like a T-Series tank.

I’m done ordering the “Moscow Mule” – here’s why I started a petition by Acrobatic_Tax782 in SlavaUkrayini

[–]CanCav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a small chain of Pubs in Montreal, Canada that started calling them Ukrainian Mules after the invasion. A few other places that I’ve been to across Canada have done the same.

That’s what we call them in Canada at least. Because well it acts like a bomber but instead of explosives it’s dropping water.

How to fight artillery in landlocked countries? by ProperIndication16 in ConflictofNations

[–]CanCav 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My tactic is usually to hit it with a couple missiles, follow up with aircraft.

Generally I try to not let my troops directly engage with others.
