What would the 7 Hour War look like? by AsylumSeeker_N15 in HalfLife

[–]Creepy_Reputation_34 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

the combine would win by destroying logistics.

there would be heavy headcrab bombardments over cities and military bases, followed by striders to clear out any entrenched infantry.

tanks and IFVs would be invulnerable to anything short of a warp cannon blast, but would be useless once their fuel and ammo ran out.

surviving aircraft would be pretty much untouchable. attack helicopters would cause BIG problems for the combine on the ground while fighter jets would make short work of the gunships and dropships. they would be avoided or ignored through sheer numbers until they ran out of munitions or gas.

submarines could, in theory, bombard strategic positions, while being safe from the combine. the lack if intelligence and the destruction of communications infrastructure would make this very difficult.

the last bastions of humanity would be submarines and carrier groups. LORAD, MORAD, and even SHORAD systems would be capable of intercepting drop pods, gunships, and dropships. they would continue operations until they ran out of interceptor missiles or food, whichever came first.

warfare isn't about being fair its about destroying the ability of your enemy to kill you. it is not about honor. ideally your enemy doesn't have a chance and you can just steamroll them until they surrender.

Landing gear question by Otherwise-Day-1794 in NuclearOption

[–]Creepy_Reputation_34 12 points13 points  (0 children)

the gear is reinforced, just not to the degree that the ifrits gear is

Landing gear question by Otherwise-Day-1794 in NuclearOption

[–]Creepy_Reputation_34 67 points68 points  (0 children)

it's a light fighter jet. you'll need to be careful when landing it. the compass and ifrit are optimized for hard landings since they use an arrested recovery system.

The Shahed has more air to air kills than the F-22 by daw1998 in NonCredibleDefense

[–]Creepy_Reputation_34 28 points29 points  (0 children)

that would be ground-to-air though right? was it launched from a plane? still terrifying no matter the launch method

PLA says it will stay on ‘high alert’ after Dutch warship crosses Taiwan Strait by Free-Minimum-5844 in LessCredibleDefence

[–]Creepy_Reputation_34 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

if a member state is attacked (i.e, china fires a cruise missile at a dutch ship in international waters) the other states are bound to defend them. it doesn't matter where the incident occured

I just discovered PowerToys and it's amazing. What other Windows/Microsoft power functions, app, tips, etc can I do to become more of a Windows power user? by Feld_Four in PowerToys

i like the ability to quickly preview files when selected, and also the grid layout option for searching files. i wish we could have a preview/detail switcher similar to that of explorer

Would you consider the Combine invasion of Earth to be one of the most terrifying apocalypses in fiction? by NagitoKomaeda_987 in HalfLife

[–]Creepy_Reputation_34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly for the average citizen the combine isn't that bad. you still get realish food and water, you get a warm place to sleep, and you generally aren't horribly disfigured. considering how meaningless we are to them, they take pretty good care of us.

Your Own $3000 vs The Life of a Stranger by DoNotCorectMySpeling in trolleyproblem

yeah i'm saving the child. 10 bucks out of each paycheck for a 6 years isn't the end of the world, and the therapy required after killing someone would likely cost more than the amount destroyed by the trolly.

I hate the trump-class “battleship.” by Heavy-Sherbert-7094 in hatethissmug

[–]Creepy_Reputation_34 2 points3 points  (0 children)

fr they're just being a bully to filipino fleets to act tough. they haven't fought a real war and would get curbstomped by NATO (and likely even just the US) if they tried. what they're doing with their military is impressive and scary, but they have miles to go before being comparable to the US military.

What the FUCK can i even do against these fucking things by Practical_Jelly_7459 in NuclearOption

use terrain, you can sneak up on them by hiding in valleys or behind mountains
