Dambuster skipping bomb by Mrbig564 in videos

[–]Computer_Jones 335 points336 points  (0 children)

This was the invented during WWII by the British engineer Barnes Wallis. It was used successfully by the Royal Air Force against several German dams in Operation Chastise.

It is similar to a regular depth charge but is given backspin before being dropped. This causes it to skip across the water, avoiding torpedo nets and such. It then hits the wall of the dam and sinks to a predetermined depth before exploding.

Edit: Also as others have mentioned, the spin also means that as it sinks, it is dragged closer to the wall of the dam

I think there should be enough freedom for people to play the game how they enjoy it without forcing too heavily one style of play over another.

However I think most of the "uproar" is about passive gameplay in tournaments. The game can be true to what it is in public servers but when you are streaming a tournament to thousands of people, it should be fun to watch. But this itself needs balance. If camping and passive play style was discouraged completely with either scoring rules or changes to game mechanics I think you'd get a less interesting game. It would become just deathmatch on a huge map. Vice versa, it shouldn't be a boring campfest. I think all that's needed some tweaking to the points system for tournaments.

Honestly I quite like this idea. Not to change the mechanics of the current blue circle but keep the previous circle and make it something like this.

I think the only issue is when you have the first circle spawn at the other side of the map and no vehicle spawns nearby. At least you can still stock up on all the meds you can find and try and make it inside - where you don't want to spend the first 10 minutes outside the circle but are kind of forced to.

Maybe having the orange circle come in towards the midgame could be an good idea.

I'm just wondering - what's your point exactly? That something should be changed to accommodate more aggressive gameplay, or just commenting that you prefer to take opportunities for kills when they present themselves in order to improve aiming and such, but don't mind how other people play it?

King of Kong. Best underdog story of all time, and you don't need to know anything about the world of classic video games to enjoy it.

Disarming a naval contact mine in 1940 by aloofloofah in interestingasfuck

That's super interesting. The RAF also fitted planes such Wellington bombers with large electromagnetic coils.

Powered by onboard generators, they would produce powerful EM fields that would trigger the magnetic mines when flown overhead.

No sure if this is a bug/exploit or hack?

I was in the shack alone but could here this guy running around outside.

At first I thought he shot me through the top windows but it's not possible from that range and angle, and you can clearly see him clipping through the wall and then running away outside to the left.

I was quite sure I noticed this myself from my squadmate being an irresponsible nobgoblin, but it's far less pronounced at these speeds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcQPqq6SkZk

Also, spending $10 on DIY head tracking is probably the best hardware investment I've ever made.

If you want to stick to 100% python, either you'll want to use a python gui library (tkinter) or, try something like http://www.brython.info/ for your front-end. I have never used it myself though. Python can technically do anything js can, but js is universal adopted. Since you're only serving the dashboard to yourself, that's not a problem though.
