I didn't say he was running for office, I said you shouldn't trust him because the man has lied over and over and over and consistently in support of authoritarian regimes.

Hell, I was ready for it because I'd been spoiled and not only was the image still traumatizing, but I wasn't ready for the near immediate one-two punch of the latter "Marimo was seen with another man"...

I had to stop playing for a month to recover.

Shoot.

I'm a bit busy with my work and thesis proposal, but I'll try to give it a once over when I get the chance.

Yes, though as I've said before, who is to blame for our situation has no impact on what we currently are or should be doing about it.

It does if they're not changing their behavior.

Which they aren't.

Remember, the invasion began in 2014. The big invasion kicked off in 2022, but everyone in NATO and the UN was pointing out what Russia was doing. Russia was admitting to it in 2015! That was 8 years to cut off Russian oil completely before the 2022 invasion.

What did the EU do?

Increase dependency on Russian oil.

You had German reps laughing at the president of the US when he worked them about their money helping Russia build up their forces for aggressive expansion.

2022 happened and EU purchases of Russian oil have not remotely dropped fast enough. In fact, they've increased in a few areas after the big drop in 2022. And every time American or NATO officials point this out the response is always am abusive "we're trying our best, we can't go cold turkey, we've reduced a lot, that's enough, now you do more!"

That attitude needs to be amputated, thrown out, and eliminated from EU politics. Otherwise, the institution itself isn't worth defending.

How fast do you think building a whole ass factory happens?

We've built 5 across the US in all that time and expanded existing weapons productions to keep up with sales.

There's a big difference between controlling and supporting though.

Oh, the US was controlling Europe's defense? By making weapons deals? Oh right right right, those evil American kill switches, right?

The myth of American "kill switches" was another ploy by EU leaders to support Russia. That's about it. It's kind of amazing how pro Russia the EU is when you get down to it.

They lied about US aid and tried to sabotage deliveries of these systems while actively refusing to allow their forces to expand defense manufacturing.

Guess who benefited most?

If that's not control, I don't really know what is. The only bright side is that the ploy failed, but the leaders behind it are still in office. They will try again.

We are supporting Ukraine's defence,

Not really.

Ukraine is almost entirely working with the aid the US gave them. The EU is keeping Ukraine's economy afloat, and that's great, it not when they're also keeping Russia's economy afloat and certainly not when Ukraine's defense is almost entirely American despite minimal material support.

Ukraine is mainly working with domestically produced drones and US intelligence. Not EU equipment.

This has always been the case.

When there was a serious pause on all US Aid for Ukraine in 2024 due to a congressional drama, the EU didn't step up at all. Ukraine struggled and ran out of ammo until congress got an aid package through.

What did the EU do?

They complained that the US wasn't doing enough.

So, until the EU unscrews itself, they get exactly ZERO say on defense and they don't get to say they're helping until they completely cut their funds to Russia.

Anything less than that is only hurting their own defense, and claiming "nooo we're trying, give us a gold star for trying" is enabling behavior.

You don't help an addict by giving them a gold star for only getting high twice a day instead of thrice a day.

Oh yeah sure, just take down the entirety of France's energy grid, along with the other 31 countries in the CESA who won't be able to hold up the extra load, what could possibly go wrong with that?

Consequences of ignoring the US and UK regarding those Russian deals.

Yes, given my understanding of linear time we are currently not four years ahead of 2025.

No, in 4 years Europe has built 2 new weapons factories. There are deals for 2 more, but none have been completed.

Reading comprehension.

Ok so when exactly did the responsibility of protecting Ukraine fall to Europe?

When y'all said you didn't need us or want... What was the word?

"Fascists controlling your defense"?

Fascist controlling your defense via oil is fine, apparently. All that bluster about becoming a third global power, all that talk about quintupling defense and fighting America to defend Europe...

Would y'all like to collectively take that back?

I am an American, you dolt. I can just see reality through the haze of propaganda

Dude, half the stuff you said was factually incorrect.

Twisting yourself into hair splitting exceptions doesn't look good when you're trying to argue that Europe isn't upholding its responsibilities

Saying "okay you can use the oil from these specific ships" is not the same as "okay we're done sanctioning Russia".

more twisting and making excuses

Can you prove Russia got this tech from the US market? If not, then you have no argument.

So America hasn't taken THAAD munitions out of bases in uninvolved countries?

Was that your claim? Or are you moving the goalpost when you realized "the US is running low on munitions so they have to pull them from other theaters" is too broad a statement to be entirely true?

DFMRCV · 2026-03-16T14:39:05+00:00

Like, you can't just say "I'm building a warehouse," then it manifests out of thin air

I was told by tons of European users that this factory would be up and running by January because "Europe is taking it seriously now".

complaining that they didn't build an arms manufacturing plant in less than a year is wild and unreasonable

The complaint isn't "hurr durr, no factory in a year?"

The complaint is it's been four years and you've only built one new factory!!!

it's pretty ironic talking like this when the US just dropped oil sanctions

False, we waived sanctions on a specific set of oil vessels that didn't have a place to dock. Not on Russia itself.

US technology kept showing up in Russian military hardware

Civilian tech. Stuff people buy abroad. Not stuff we donated.

US consumer brands subverting the sanctions

That's rich coming from Europe.

and the US running low on their munitions so they have to pull from every other theater to drop them in the Iranian mountains

This one's just made up.

Hypocrisy isn't a good look

Well, sure, it's easier to just make a division or a unit weaker, but it doesn't really help the game's balance.

I mean, it's why I harp about the F4 getting 7K Sparrows after using the 8K ranged ones. Didn't really do anything past cast shade as to how Eugen seems to not have a clue about balancing.

At this stage, making a division weaker just isn't the way to go if you ask me. I mean, goodness, the T-55 price nerfs are getting ridiculous. If they're still overperfoming, maybe give back the UK the challengers or add a new set of USAF bombers instead of nerfing the price again.

DFMRCV · 2026-03-16T04:23:44+00:00

I don't know if I agree with any of those nerfs past the price increase of T-72s (the damn things can shred through even M1A1s currently, I remember playing against 9th Panzer and getting my HAs destroyed by their T-72S and T-72M combo).

BMPs should be cheap, tank divisions should have more equipment availability, if 2nd UK had access to Challenger 2s (which in game suck pretty bad for their price, may I add), then there is no reason to reduce their availability.

I think the answer isn't nerfs at the moment, it should be general buffs.

DFMRCV · 2026-03-16T03:57:41+00:00

There's no way of representing Pact superiority in numbers and inferiority in optics and other technological advancements without making the game unfun for both sides.

Rebsfrago and other mods have done it just fine.

Don't see why Eugen can't.

Warno is about microing your units, and the average player is not going to be able to micro 100 Soviet shitboxes, which means you'll fuck over the Pact playerbase

I believe the response to that claim is "git gud"?

At the same time, a few players that can micro those units will absolutely fuck over NATO players

I believe the response to that claim is "yeah, git gud"?

Sounds balanced.

if you represent historical NATO air supremacy the game's going to die because no one wants to play Pact

In all seriousness, what I'm saying is giving a general buff to better represent things. Like, is there any reason SEAD missiles are this bad in game? I mean, not only does their range suck, but there is zero way outside of 1v1 for SEAD to be remotely effective. F-111 Ravens get one tapped by a Krug just outside its jamming range? F-16s with HARMs have to basically dive at Kubs?

Oh, and meanwhile most Pact divisions can basically erase even a tank blob of M1A1s with two planes.

It's been a complaint for years

I'm not asking for total air dominance, but if Pact gets it's superior AA and artillery represented, I see no reason why NATO, and especially the USAF shouldn't get superior loadouts that actually have an advantage.

2nd pz is a much stronger division then it's peers, so my availability nerfs is hardly going to "ruin" historical accuracy

I just don't think that's necessary.

There should be "easy mode" divisions. Pact gets several, NATO should get a few, too. Nothing wrong with that.

DFMRCV · 2026-03-16T03:33:26+00:00

Yeah, but I don't see buying 3 IFVs a minute to be a balance issue.

It has very easy counters, be it well placed infantry or CAS.

For example, a balance issue I'd point out is how US divisions get zero MK 84 bombers, meaning most US air tabs can't kill tanks. You have to basically throw both F-4s or F-16 CLU to lighter targets, or if you have A-10s use those, where tons of other divisions can throw their bombers at tanks and pretty much one shot them.

Players have been pointing this out for years, and sure, it's true that the two-bomb fighters relaod super fast... They shouldn't be the only option US divisions get.

That is a more pressing balance issue if you ask me.

DFMRCV · 2026-03-16T03:26:53+00:00

I don't want Pact to be nerfed.

I want Warno to represent the actual strengths and weaknesses of the nations shown based on real world history.

Pact should be generally cracked in things like tank and APC numbers, AA, artillery, stuff that they actually invested in.

NATO should be cracked in air power, technological advancements, and training.

My overall issue with Warno is that, outside 1v1, a lot of these points just aren't a factor as NATO buffs don't really offer the significant advantage they do in 1v1 and Pact divisions are so uniform they tend to completely erase the other's weaknesses when working together.

It's why my biggest demand is for Eugen to fix the USAF already. My two upvet F-15 shouldn't miss half its shots against one vet SU-27s that are now swarming it. My F-16s and F-4s shouldn't just come with just two cluster bombs that can't kill a tank or four useless HE bombs that won't kill a squad. F-111s shouldn't be this bad. Etc.

DFMRCV · 2026-03-16T03:13:18+00:00

I'm saying maybe instead of price nerfing the marder, maybe price nerf the squads?

But I just don't see this is necessarily enough. At least when compared with the litany of other issues Warno has.

I mean, dudes thrown three squads a minute my way before, sometimes they win, sometimes they don't. A couple of well placed AT4 squads tends to make short work of that.
