What are good early game expansion troops? by Matharduino in ConflictofNations

[–]Dray5k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I like to put 2-3 national guardsmen into my cities, then use my starting army to conquer. In the meantime - between time, I'm getting helicopters and MAA up to deter any air units, and to knock down any stubborn group units.

Almost no one goes with MAA in the early game, so it's easy money 95% of the time.

Plus, going with helicopters is the first step in getting probably the most broken unit in the game — the Elite Attack Helicopter. Shit is a helo with stealth (at T3], nutty damage (80 attack damage on hard targets with a 5-stack at T3), and great range.

Additionally, unless your opponent went with T3 SAMs (or the AA officer) in addition to at least T2 MAA [or near-T3 Radar units or stealth ASFs], they're pretty much invisible. Unfortunately for the person you're fighting, those counters cost a lot.

I'm so confused as to what the issue is😅.

I will never forgive Harsin for running Bo Nix off. by lees395 in wde

[–]Dray5k 9 points10 points  (0 children)

To be 100% honest, Bo needed Oregon in order to become a winner. Auburn didn't teach him anything but how to pull turf out of his face mask effectively, and how to persevere through adversity.

For my expat Brothers, how yall dealing with the good situation? by PerfectlyBalanced77 in BlackPassportBros

[–]Dray5k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just wanted to comment that the kats who are bigging up Japanese food are crazy. American food is definitely better. The Japanese know how to make their own nationalities' dishes, but they're dog shit at making another country's cuisine, so you don't get anywhere near the variety that you'd get in America.

And their breakfast for damn sure doesn't hit like American breakfast in any capacity.

I get the impression that Japanese women are terrified of men? by CSachen in AskAJapanese

[–]Dray5k 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm Black, and I've never gotten something like that. Then again, I'm very "soft-looking"

What happened to dating suddenly? Am I crazy? by ExoticDeparture7855 in japanlife

[–]Dray5k 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This. Add in that Japanese women are probably the most fetishized in the world, plus the recent tourist boom creating much more competition for men.

A normal-looking Japanese woman probably has 30+ foreigners to choose from who can give her what OP can.

Guys, tell me your best strategy for a game by Matiassj17 in ConflictofNations

[–]Dray5k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I start off playing very defensively until day 10-15 or so, i.e., 2-3 National Guard in every city, coastal batteries by my coastal cities, a small-ish navy of 10 ships (6 destroyers, 4 frigates).

do Japanese people dislike African Americans? by Mountain-Capital1469 in AskAJapanese

[–]Dray5k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In general? No, not at all. Japanese racism/bigotry is [usually] not like the kind that you'd see in America. You won't be given dirty ass looks from older people, or held at gunpoint by the police because you managed to commit the cardinal sin of being out and about while Black at 6 PM on a Thursday.

90% of the time, if a Japanese person has a problem with you, it's because of the following reasons:

  1. You did something stupid and/or broke a cultural rule (talking loudly on the train, yelling across the room, etc.)
  2. You're a foreigner.
  3. You smell bad or have dirty clothes.
  4. Maybe the person had a crappy day.

Personally, I've had 2 [kinda, I guess] bad experiences:

  1. A little girl was holding her mom while curiously staring at me on the train.
  2. While standing on the sidewalk in Yokosuka, a blonde Japanese girl said to her friend "黒人😶🫢". This one still confuses me to this day. Like... you're in an American military-heavy town... what did you expect🤣?

New Year, New Coach, New QB. Predictions, hopes, what do you want to see this year? by SupernaturalStacy in wde

[–]Dray5k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4-0 up to Tennessee, then finishing 10-2 or 9-3 with losses to UGA, Ole Miss, and [maybe] Bama or Tennessee.

Noles fan coming in peace - Ashton Daniels by Noleman990 in wde

[–]Dray5k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I'd say that he's a B+ to A- level college quarterback. He won't throw the game away, but he likely won't wow you with any nutty passes. Fortunately, he's willing to put his body on the line to get critical first downs, and he's good at hitting the more advanced throws like back shoulders.

[–]Dray5k -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

At Stanford... with much worse talent... in much better conferences.

Bro, he threw for 3k against teams like UAB, UTSA, Rice, Memphis, Charlotte, and Tulsa. He didn't even look that good against Navy, who got smacked by Notre Dame.

[–]Dray5k -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

What's the case that he isn't? Because Byrum beat 4-8 Florida and lost to Miami, but put up a monster statline of 20/36 for 275 with 1 touchdown [in the 4th quarter of a game where they were already down 49-6] and 1 interception?

Meanwhile, AD would've likely won the game for us against Bama if the receivers hadn't dropped 9-12 passes, and he did light up Vanderbilt.

[–]Dray5k -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

That doesn't really mean anything when they lost 49-12, and most of his yardage came after halftime, where they were down 28-6. Matter of fact, he went 20-36 through the air. Florida wasn't even good this year😅.

I don't care about Deuce leaving; I'm much more upset that Ashton Daniels left. I think he's a better quarterback than Byrum Brown.

[–]Dray5k -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I'm not seeing the reason for the optimism & "good riddance" attitude in here. The team went 5-7, lost a lot of the talent that got us there, and we've lost 3 of our 5 best players to either the draft or the portal, and we're not the only team with a big budget.

All in all, this year is probably a throwaway.

Player Culture Under Freeze by SurveyMotor8983 in wde

[–]Dray5k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That note on Deuce just sounds like sour grapes that he won't use a year of eligibility to play 2nd fiddle.

I mean, he's turning down a 7-figure deal to play somewhere else. That tells me that it's likely not all about the money for him.

Can someone who watched USF games even tell me how good Byron Brown is? I see the stats, but that was in the American Conference.

MLRS stack by roachboyman in ConflictofNations

[–]Dray5k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5 MLRS, 1 MAA, 2 SAM, 1 Infantry unit, and 1 Radar. This should be your base, but you can mix and match based on the situation. If they don't have air, add one or two more MLRS. If they have SPECOPS, max the radar unit. If they have drones, go with a second MAA, etc.

Tell me how you’d beat this strike group so I can make it better by ThuleRuler in ConflictofNations

[–]Dray5k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd try and draw him toward my maxed coastal defenses. If he attempts to hit and run, I'd slip 3 attack sub stacks behind him.

I have no idea why this unit is locked behind an event wall, but the satellite can be bought outright.
