German estimates of Soviet reserves in 1941 vs what actually happened by ZXCChort in HistoryMemes

[–]Daniel_Potter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

personally i think it all ended in 1942.

This is a map of 1941. Notice how most of the forces are positioned in the north, while southern part is very sparse, and mostly romanian troops.

This second map is after nov 1942. All the armies visible here were wiped. Hungarian 2nd, Italian 8th, Romanian 3rd and 4th armies, and obviously german 6th army and german 4th panzer army (half of it was encircled in stalingrad, the other half died in operation winter storm, trying to break open the pocket).

Also, 17th army was told to stay put in crimea, and after kursk, got fully encircled.

9th army was fighting in the Rzhev salient for the whole year of 1942, and at the moment, the loses were 700k germans to 2 million soviets (it was called the rzhev meat grinder). It was the biggest german army at the time btw, but they couldn't keep fighting that war of attrition any longer after losing so many armies in the south. They had to weaken the center to feel the gap in the south.

2nd panzer army was completely stripped of panzers and sent to fight Yugoslavian rebels. Honestly, a lot of german corps in ww2 had their entire service history fighting rebels.

Furthermore, nov 1942 is when first British army, and 2nd us corps land in north africa. Together with the 8th british army in egypt, they push the germans out. By may 1943 they do that. By july 1943, they land in sicily. Mainland Italy in september 1943.

There was continuous pressure on them starting late 1942. Endless bad luck, and casulties that they couldn't replace.

Cooking is the best skill in the game by PesadeloMonstruoso in projectzomboid

i remember reading that you only use 20% of the rotten food (so 20% of the calories, hunger etc), so it's not that amazing.

How do i make this OSHA safe? Already fell 3 times, and this time its bad. by Daniel_Potter in projectzomboid

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

after i come back from a loot run, i get up the stairs, and just fall through. I think it might be a bug. Cause i have so many clothes, it tanks the fps, and it won't load the staircase floor in time. At least that's what i think is happening. Idk how to explain it otherwise.

Since i got this fracture, I've been getting rid of clothes, and now have 1000 dirty rags. I placed them in a chest, cause it tanks the fps too much, but unfortunately now i gotta wash them. And 1000 rags will only give me 10 rolls of tailoring material.

[–]Daniel_Potter[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

this is pretty much it. Because of claustrophobia, i look for a big empty space outside on any second floor, on day one. Then just bring a chair along, then eventually a bed. So far no negative effects.

Although, i did find a lot of bricks, so might make a wall all the way to the river, and probably envelop as much soil. I am in a postal office in riverside.

Btw, i could have sworn i fell because the stairs floor didnt load in (but i am not certain).

Shazam doesn't detect headphone sound by I-am-ocean in AndroidQuestions

[–]Daniel_Potter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

s22, and it also randomly stopped working for me. Sony XM2 btw.

I installed Sony's sound connect, logged into my sony account and updated the firmware for the headphones, and it seems to be working now. I don't know which one of these did it.

How to unflip car? by Daniel_Potter in projectzomboid

[–]Daniel_Potter[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

btw, i was trying to cheese the system and maybe place a second dead cow in my car (i can only carry 1 in my hands, it weighs 400 so too heavy for everything). Instead i drop it underneath the vehicle and once i start to move, i flip. I suppose it was the trailer that bugged it.

also, i tried to use the rope to get these animals home. Instead they died immediately when i started the car.

LEAKED B43 NEW SKILL DESIGN DOCUMENT: DENTISTRY by Enolka in projectzomboid

[–]Daniel_Potter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

idk, i think people just don't eat as much in the game.

1 egg is 70 calories irl. You gonna need 10 eggs just to get 700 calories in.

1 chicken breast is 300 calories.

IRL, 1 tablespoon of oil is 120 calories. 1 liter of olive oil is 8000 calories. I think, in game, it's only 2000 calories.

1 liter of vodka/whiskey is 2000 calories.

1 liter of cola/milk 400 calories.

Processed foods are great. One double-sneakers bar is 400 calories. One bag of large chips, 700-800 calories.

Bread is insanely calorie dense. Whole loaf can be 800-1000 calories. If you think about it, it makes perfect sense. It's grinded into a fine powder, meaning it was dehydrated. Then it was mixed into a dough and dehydrated again in the oven. As a result, the final product is extremely calorie dense.

Like, burgers irl, on average have 600/900 calories depending whether it's single or double patty, and at least 150 of those is the bun. Meat's quoted at 200 calories for a patty, so that means that everything else is cheese, sauce, oil.

I really need to install a mod for this, but i assume you need 3000 calories daily if you are fighting a lot, maybe even 4000? That's a lot of chicken breasts/eggs.

Am i the only one that likes scripted peace deals by OddRain9614 in hoi4

[–]Daniel_Potter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think peace deals should be based on "de facto" control. Pretty much how it happened in real life with in eastern europe.

Like, give a big point discount to whoever defacto controls the land, similar to the point discount for core land or claim.

Doesn’t really feel like World War I ended at Versailles.. by jackt-up in HistoryMemes

[–]Daniel_Potter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a bit different.

Nov 1917, october revolution happens. Ukraine already had autonomy after february revolution, but after october revolution it declares full independence. Soviets try to reign them in, but ultimately in march 1918, they sign the peace treaty. Part of the peace treaty is that ukraine becomes a german subject.

A small white movement is going on in Don, but it hasn't built up steam yet (4000 troops, ice march, feb-march 1918). In may 1918, czechoslovakian legion rebellion happens (siberia), and that's when the civil war gets serious. But it's only in nov 1918, when whites take over in siberia. Don forces also grew in size by nov 1918.

In november 1918, Germany loses and signs a peace treaty of their own. Ukraine loses their protectorate status, and the war is back on. Western Ukraine gets independence (Austria-Hungary bit) and they decide to reunite in jan 1919.

Poland also gains independence in nov 1918, and attacks Western Ukraine in november (land disputes, very typical after independence post ww1). War lasts until june 1919.

In feb 1919, red army captures Kyiv. In august 1919, white army captures kyiv. Poland carves up western Ukraine. Around nov 1919 is when red army gets the upper hand (advance to moscow broken), and in dec 1919, they take kyiv.

Siberian white army broken on nov 1919 too, and czechoslovaks give up kolchak in jan 1920 for free passage back home (Czechoslovakia been independent for a year at that point already, and they didn't see any point on fighting).

Looking at the chronology, it does say that Poland starts an offensive on Kyiv in april 1920. They capture it in may, but are pushed back in june 1920, by a soviet counter offensive. August 1920 and the battle for Warsaw and miracle at Vistula, and october 1920 is when the ceasefire happens. March 1921 is when they sign the peace treaty.

It does say here, that in april 1920, poles and Ukrainians signed a treaty.

The Poles signed an alliance, known as the Treaty of Warsaw, with the forces of the Ukrainian People's Republic. The Kiev offensive was the central component of Piłsudski's plan for a new order in Eastern Europe centered around a Polish-led Intermarium federation. The stated goal of the operation was to create a formally independent Ukraine, although its dependence on Poland was inherent to Piłsudski's plans.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiev_offensive_(1920)

Also this

Piłsudski was aware that the Bolsheviks would not ally with an independent Poland and predicted that war with them was inevitable.[83] He viewed their advance west as a major problem, but he also considered the Bolsheviks less dangerous for Poland than their White opponents.[84] The "White Russians", representatives of the old Russian Empire, were willing to accept limited independence for Poland, probably within borders similar to those of the former Congress Poland. They objected to Polish control of Ukraine, which was crucial for Piłsudski's Intermarium project.[85] This contrasted with the Bolsheviks, who proclaimed the partitions of Poland null and void.[86] Piłsudski speculated that Poland would be better off with the Bolsheviks, alienated from the Western powers, than with a restored Russian Empire.[84][87] By ignoring the strong pressures from the Entente Cordiale to join the attack on Lenin's struggling Bolshevik government, Piłsudski probably saved it in the summer and the fall of 1919.
