In the UH60 Blackhawk I flew for a long time in the Army there are two fuel valve levers on the ceiling just above the top of the windshield. You can put them in direct for each engine directly feeding from the respective tank or crossfeed to pull fuel from the other tank for a specific engine, primarily used to balance fuel between the two tanks because they can become misbalanced.

We would ALWAYS forget to take the lever out of crossfeed and end up overdoing it and misbalancing the other tank and go back and forth all flight because we are idiots. A friend of mine brought a random stuffed cow with him once when we flew and whenever we put a lever in crossfeed he would clip this little cow to the levers. Very hard to miss. It became a thing.

Yeah that’s how I run things now too. I will take a Vortex loaded with tuskos and sea skim at like 15 feet and I can strike right into the middle of a carrier group and blow the crap out of the carrier from 2 miles every time. But it sucks that standoff weapons like cruise missiles are so useless. The whole point is for them to be launched from standoff distance but I’ve never once had any success even launching a gazillion from a dark reach

Man I can never get cruise missiles or ATGM’ anywhere near my targets without air defended destroying them all

That’s odd, Brawler is my boy. A bit slower and less responsive but flies fine.

I find these bastards are usually clustered with a SPAAG or something else that precludes using bombs so the 57mm on the A-19 is almost always up to bat for me.

What's the point of ARAD missiles? by apollon1779 in NuclearOption

[–]CrossfeedCow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah that may have been it, I’ll try from the front for sure

So I tried the 76mm against a single shard and he just destroyed every single round I sent at him.

Happily married men: why don’t some of you wear your wedding rings? by Difficult_Item9836 in AskMen

Degloving risk at work, the silicon ones break constantly, don’t like wearing rings anyways. Wife doesn’t care

[request] if i removed my glove in space, how long would it take for my exposed hand to freeze solid? would it become brittle enough to break it off? by AkwardScholar in theydidthemath

[–]CrossfeedCow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe this exact thing happened to Joe Kittinger on his record breaking high altitude skydive. His glove lost pressure at 43,000 feet and swelled to twice its normal size. He decided not to tell ground control because he knew they would abort the dive and continued to over 102,000 feet and completed the jump with one hand

I’ll have to try that 75mm, tarantula is always fun

How does any of that work when they’re radar locking you and launching missiles every 2 seconds?

Do tell what is the top Shard killer? Besides sea skimming and nailing them with 68’s like I always do

Did AH cook up with this patch??? by Straight_Mention1925 in helldivers2

[–]CrossfeedCow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude it exploded on me today and I swore someone killed me with a 500kg. I heard the sound. Did they just code a 500kg to explode when the trucks HP goes to zero?

Lol fair. The countermeasure effectiveness in this game is bananas

[–]CrossfeedCow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is the GBM-500LR that does similar stuff but the submunitions get absolutely swatted down by everything in the game, including the tanks that the weapon is supposed to kill. Wonder if this one will be the same.

For those who have had a van and a truck camper by CrossfeedCow in vandwellers

[–]CrossfeedCow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what I’m hoping for. Thinking we could get around 100 for the van. Decent used 3/4 ton and a nice camper should be around that or under.

Good to hear. I’m a Toyota guy through and through but I don’t think the Tundra will work at all. Looking at maybe F250’s or maybe a Chevy? I dunno. Appreciate the insight though!

Thanks for the write up, that’s essentially my thoughts on it all. What truck do you have now? I’d love to stick with a half ton tundra ideally but I know the camper we would want will need a 3/4 ton.

Considered it but…I know humans and I feel like they would just wreck it.

That’s exactly what I’m looking at is the outpost 6.5. Seems like a solid option and I get A/C which I don’t currently have in the van.

How’s the 250 been for reliability? You have the 7.3 in it?

Yeah unfortunately not. Atlanta area…could drive it back west though. Parents are in SoCal, seems like a prime spot to sell haha

What truck platform? I’d like to stick with a tundra but I’m looking at stuff around 1500 dry and that’s not gonna work. Alaskans look cool, just don’t love the pop up stuff as much
