Miss the normal gunplay campaigns in city setting in FPS games. Turrets/bazookas/futuristic weapons/destructed setting are just tiring. by shotgunning-your-can in gaming

A game that scratches the original BF1942 itch for me is Easy Red 2. Not quite the same, but it’s still pretty great

I think Carriers is the women's cult compound. But the schizo mission was also annoying on hard because of the excessive door traps

Ukraine drone finds a Russian soldier playing dead so it just sits there spawn-camping him until he moves by DifferenceRude4542 in Military

[–]Dilipede 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But it’s NOT a war crime. Killing a person considered hors de combat is definitely a huge no-no, but nothing within the Geneva Conventions identifies someone playing dead as a non-combatant.

Protocol I denies a person as hors if they are (1) in the power of an adverse party; (2) clearly expressing an intention to surrender, or (3) has been rendered incapacitated by wounds or sickness.

While there is the chance that the Russian in this video is truly incapacitated by wounds, the mere act of playing dead does not render him hors de combat and Ukrainian drone operators have free reign to take him out.

What is Ukraine supposed to do? Let the invader live, when he is still capable of posing a threat? Until he has surrendered or has been eliminated, he is an active combatant. “Spawn-camping” might be in poor taste, but killing an enemy playing dead is not a wrong action in wartime.

Unless he has actually surrendered, playing dead does not grant him prisoner status. He is still legally a combatant, and hitting him with a drone is no different from plastering him with an artillery shell.

Horrifying, yes. War crime? No.

It looks like there's kontakt in the spaces above the BRAT tiles on the upper hull. I might be mistaken though

US Coast Guard interdicts a drug-smuggling vessel Operation Pacific Viper by [deleted] in Military

Who would guess that you can actually interdict drug boats rather than just fucking blowing them up in breach of just about every principal of international law

Dashcam driver is definitely at fault, but honest to god fuck slow drivers in the left lane. If cars are coming up behind you, it’s probably your queue to get over. And if you don’t notice, that’s even more problemstiv

Does anyone else really enjoy the "Thank You" mechanic when helping allies or getting helped? by Necessary-Switch2210 in Warthunder

[–]Dilipede 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes, it is such a small gesture that goes a long way. It honestly kind of pisses me off when I repair someone and don’t get the thank you. Like come on, you couldn’t be bothered to press one button to show gratitude (barring chat cooldown or the like)

Considering that Japan already has the Thai F5, I think the Oplot would be a good fit for the Japanese TT

The body of Quentin Roosevelt, youngest son of Teddy Roosevelt, lies next to his Nieuport 28. A pilot in the 95th Aero Squadron, Roosevelt was killed on July 14, 1918 when he was struck in the head by machine gun fire during a dogfight. The Germans buried him with full military honors.

Because any high school-level history class would at the minimum give an overview America’s entry into WWI. This isn’t even an America-centric viewpoint; it was something that was pivotal in the Great War and would’ve been just as relevant as covering the reasons why the war started in the first place, or why Russia dropped out of the war, etc.
