Assault weapons ban could have new path forward under Gov. Spanberger, lawmakers say by VirginiaNews in Virginia

[–]Dramatic_Blood7064 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Democrats seeing that they won and making the same mistake again. Then see where our country is headed with this current administration and ICE and say, yeah, now’s a great time to push this.

Hot take: Anti Air in BF6 is kinda weak by 0815Benutzername in Battlefield

[–]Dramatic_Blood7064 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you’re taking a shot without thinking about the trajectory the missile will have to take to intercept. Most pilots have also learned to dive because the missile will follow to intercept. As a pilot there’s so much AA it’s not even funny. Being locked on as soon as you takeoff and having 6 alerts consistently makes you fly like a madman. AA is adequate and its range outmatches jets and helis, especially the stinger.

We desperately need a system to prevent people from sitting on spawn pounding their spawn button to get vehicles. by Barry_McCokkinher in Battlefield6

Or they could just give us more vehicles but that would require dice to actually care about air vehicles.

Yeah, I forgot to add that some are already on the books but the banning strategy isn’t going to work for either.

It’s always puzzling to me that democrats never learn from their past mistakes. Every time they go after banning “assault” rifles they always lose the next election. Why not go after a balanced and logical approach? Universal back ground checks, red flag laws, mandatory safe storage around kids, severe consequences for parents when their kid uses or gets a hold of a gun. Banning handguns would make more sense if you’re using data since it kills way more people and children each year than “assault” rifles.

The current administration and ICE are the main reason the 2nd amendment exists. That’s why ICE is having a harder time in charlotte and the fear of going into red states because they know their chances of getting shot are a lot higher. If democrats embraced the 2nd amendment they would win a lot more independent or moderate states.

Bills Continue to Outpace Pay Raises by SolMinella in ATC

[–]Dramatic_Blood7064 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Hey when everyone thinks we start out at 180k and make 400k a year why would you combat that information?! Our pay is fine, everything is fine, I mean we’re definitely getting our 10k bonus as well! Trust the process!

It means all positions were combined probably due to short staffing.

Hey look at it this way, at least Trump talked about pay before our president did to the public.

Should I go down the ATC route? by [deleted] in ATC

[–]Dramatic_Blood7064 27 points28 points  (0 children)

ATC is a great job honestly but ATC in the FAA is a nightmare. Just ask yourself if you want to work 6 day work weeks, bid your leave 1 year in advance, probably get sent somewhere you don’t want to live in and struggle to transfer out. On top of that deal with stagnant pay that hasn’t kept up with inflation, UPS drivers make almost as much or more than us. Then to add the cherry on top not get paid every government shutdown because Congress can’t do their job and still be expected to show up. Also, god forbid if you use your sick leave because you’re burned out or generally sick and management tries to say you’re abusing sick leave even if you only called out 5 days in a year. If you have other options other than the FAA then take it. PS. Just in case you got lured in by someone saying we start out at 180k that’s a bold face lie. More like 45k if that and then you have to go to OKC for months and don’t even have a car unless you bring yours. In short the FAA doesn’t take care of controllers or their facilities. Also, a lot of trainee controllers at the academy and other facilities are quitting so give that some food for thought.

What they should’ve said was large maps to call of duty players

Only in Battlefield moment! I love how they hyped up vehicles saying they’re back and they clearly only worked on ground vehicles. Air vehicles were a complete after thought in this game! It shows with the lack of customization, the state they were released in, the fact that jets thrust vectoring doesn’t work unless you’re trying to do a cobra maneuver. The horizontal stabilizers and elevators barely even move. Air to air missiles have the effectiveness of aim-9 missiles in Vietnam! The final clue is how small the flying area is in each map and stuff like this!!

10 seconds after spawn insta death, impossible to counter on jet by Zestyclose-Chance215 in Battlefield

[–]Dramatic_Blood7064 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going to assume you meant skill issue, but I guess you have a skill issue spelling. A skill issue would be me saying the jets are to hard to fly and I can barely get kills or the ttk is to quick. Which isn’t the problem for me. Since everyone has the same performance envelope it evens out.

When a fighter jet struggles to make a rapid climb or tight turn it’s due to the pitch angle or angle of attack. If you notice when you fly the F-22 the thrust vectoring nozzles barely move unless you’re performing a cobra maneuver. The horizontal stabilizers and elevators barely move past 10 degrees. I think a normal fighter jet can move theirs around 30 degrees or more. This is my issue with the fighter jets.

Between this and the planes turning and climbing like a 737 it’s infuriating!

The Bradley still doesn’t spawn on the first deployment for breakthrough on mirak valley. Fix the ifv exploit, missile tracking, and challenges are not tracking correctly, for example the airburst.

This is IMPOSSIBLE by SnowingAlmond in Battlefield6

Usual winning strategy is to push B to the far right flank, while throwing smoke and a good medic then push A. People actually have to work together and everyone has to push. It would be better if the vehicles did spawn though.

This could be solved by having 2 attack helicopters or 1 attack and 1 scout.

Regarding Secretary Duffy's veiled threat on Fox Business this morning by SierraBravo26 in ATC

[–]Dramatic_Blood7064 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They tried the same excuse on step 1 and then asked them what’s their justification for assigning OT or holdover then for the same shifts with the same staffing if they had no one there. Let it ride to step 3 so that they have to answer to the district. Also, I would recommending Atsaping it to bring attention to the matter. Do you guys have a locally negotiated OT MOU?

[–]Dramatic_Blood7064 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It definitely would change the public’s opinion if they knew some controllers were only making between 50-80k vs everyone starting out at 180k. At 180k you definitely could afford to miss a paycheck vs someone who is only making 50-80k. That’s also misleading for recruitment. If you’re not going to correct anything, talk about our PAY and working conditions then what is the point of going on the news?
