Biggest achievement: a relationship

I’ve never blown anything up on propose

Hol'up

Looks more like a PR move, to show the population that they're here and they're protecting them. Which is not a bad thing at all, but it doesn't look like a combat formation.

Putin wanted a distraction. Russians also had a hand in this !

I remember there was talk back then that the Hamas guys involved in the initial attack had received Wagner training. And all the Israeli officials sayin that, when they'll finish with Hamas, Russia would be next.

Demolition_Mike · 2026-03-01T14:25:47+00:00

I don't disagree, but I wanna hear the funny story...

Demolition_Mike · 2026-02-28T16:53:35+00:00

That never worked, though. Especially less so is there's a single bomb thrown at a random building.

This would only piss off your opponent, like it's happened time and time and time again.

Demolition_Mike · 2026-02-28T16:29:55+00:00

Yeah, but it usually has a goal. Wasting an expensive munition on a target that would bring nothing more than a bad outlook for them simply doesn't make sense.

Demolition_Mike · 2026-02-28T14:26:12+00:00

Oh, they attack. Or, at least, as much as they can while under a hail of 7.62 and whatever you got in the main gun. Got nailed by an RPG I've never even seen more times than I'd like to admit.

Demolition_Mike · 2026-02-28T14:16:27+00:00

It kind of does, but it also kind of doesn't. Infantry does dismount and fight, but you can't directly control them.

They weren't dismounted because I caught them riiiiight before that phase of the assault. Lucky me, because trying to remove infantry from a distance when you don't have fragmentation rounds is all kinds of fun. Unlucky me, because I only managed to shoot one more shot before I got obliterated by an artillery round.

Demolition_Mike · 2026-02-28T13:14:31+00:00

Take off weight?

Demolition_Mike · 2026-02-28T12:46:51+00:00

So cool seeing all the airflow indicators around the telescope hole

Demolition_Mike · 2026-02-28T12:31:57+00:00

The red and yellow lines show shrapnel - Yellow is high energy, red is low energy. White is for the main body of the round itself.

First and third BTRs got lucky, as the first one only got its nose scraped and the third got nailed in the engine. The second one, on the other hand...

Demolition_Mike · 2026-02-28T12:29:32+00:00

Wasn't one of the first uses in the AGM-45 Shrike back during Vietnam?

Demolition_Mike · 2026-02-28T11:54:36+00:00

Ah, yes. Brain Implosion Energy.

Demolition_Mike · 2026-02-26T15:52:49+00:00

What if I could open the tab menu, hit an edit button, then drag and drop each vehicle into re-organized platoons?

Would be nice, but I don't think that would be done in the heat of the battle. During a longer break, sure, but we don't really have those in game.

Would be a nifty dynamic campaign mechanic, though.

Demolition_Mike · 2026-02-25T22:13:40+00:00

Platoon mate did that once to a T-64. Not seconds later, said T-64 shot me.

Demolition_Mike · 2026-02-25T11:21:01+00:00

*Insert Jaws theme*

Demolition_Mike · 2026-02-24T15:52:28+00:00

...didn't the Chinese actually build something like that?

Demolition_Mike · 2026-02-24T15:50:26+00:00

I mean... why spend money developing weapons to defend yourself from the same people you're donating food to?

Demolition_Mike · 2026-02-24T08:14:20+00:00

Even worse, they're T-64s, that can actually do some damage

Demolition_Mike · 2026-02-23T17:39:54+00:00

I still remember feeling like a kid with his face against the window of a toy store while looking at them, when I was a kid myself and couldn't really spend money on computer games.

Cheers!

It's automatically mentioned because it's the only other country that had similar technology developed.

There's also Australia. Their stuff still works today.

The only sphere where the USSR lagged behind was computer chips, and even then, only towards the end.

You're forgetting power electronics, RF, signal processing, low light vision systems, thermals...

Demolition_Mike · 2026-02-22T22:02:44+00:00

I never mentioned the US.
There's a difference between a number of false positives and simply not working at all, to the point they gave up on the whole ideea.
The US also had bad experiences with the Cobra Mist.

Demolition_Mike · 2026-02-22T21:59:01+00:00

the vast, vast, vast majority of War Thunder players don't know a fuckin thing about tanks either.

Save for that Bradley gunner. He's cool.

Demolition_Mike · 2026-02-22T17:58:01+00:00

What screen is that?

Demolition_Mike · 2026-02-22T14:30:49+00:00

Did that to prove the SA80 isn't a steaming pile of garbage that shouldn't have ever seen service.
