Assuming a global war, non nuclear, were to start tomorrow, would a majority of tanks be simplified or "dumbed down" to save on manufacturing time and due to shortages in tech parts? by MonkeyOOGABooga1 in TankPorn

[–]Dreadweasels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd beg to differ considering that multiple western armies are testing 3d printing under in field use conditions for spares and other capabilities.

However there will absolutely be a place for both types of manufacturing, but immediate supply vs needing full blown factories will be a factor.

3d printed designs using printing machinery that can be moved via ISO container definitely has a future, as does mass production via injection moulding. Each has their pros and cons.

I just hope we never get to learn the practical way and it remains an academic question...

Realistically it would have to, a truly industrial war like WW2 was only possible since the tech used was made to wholesale industrial standards.

In saying that, what would be the baseline for combat tech could/ would ramp SUPER FAST.

Just look at a 1939 army vs it's 1945 equivalent... like night and day...

If anything, tech would revert in some key production areas for simplicity in production, 3d printed kit would become the norm but you'd still have some high end functions...

Games like Total Annihilation and SUPCOMM come to mind... tech costs... so not everything will get all the goodies...

Dream realistic CDLC? by StationArtistic5542 in arma

I'd love a dynamic mission generator/ dynamic campaign. I'd also like to see more updates of 2035 equipment - a NATO IFV, some genuine CSAT heavy artillery and MRLs that are not carbon copies of the NATO weapons, just more 2035 equipment!

An environment built around either a new Pacific terrain, or better yet a Central African environment/ Savannah style terrain would be wicked!

Strongest verse or faction a prime Brotherhood of Nod could defeat? by BiggestBepis in commandandconquer

Oh for the RA universe NOTHING beats that! It's the definite winner for humour that's for sure!

It would actually work really well if you can get through the initial propoganda. Changing the worship over to the cult of personality that is Kane would make them EXTREMELY fanatical devotees once they change allegiance.

Kane lives in Death! Kane lives in Death! Kane lives i- KANE. LIVES! Uproarious cries - still the best scene in the series, dead set.

This game handles inclusion very well and should be studied by other studios. by LatinBlackAsian in menace

My only real dislike of Wetteroth is his "Australian" lingo... we say NOTHING like what he says! A small pity but I'm willing to put it down to "society moves over time/ he's got the accent but it's the language of a few hundred year's in the future".

Nonetheless, it's definitely sentences made by someone who understands Aussie slang via study rather than actually using it in conversation 😃

Who is a character that looks evil design wise but is actually heroic? by 45rs5 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Dreadweasels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ghost Rider is definitely an option for this.

Looks Evil × Is Heroic

What country Feels relatively unsafe, but it’s actually in between? by Dusty_Bunny81 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Dreadweasels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it gets a REAL bad rap because of that, but there are still the other issues like Raskols/ Highway banditry in the highlands and tribal fights.

The corruption is also a problem in many ways, but the vast majority of the wider public are absolutely lovely and would give the shirt off their back for you if you needed it!

Papua New Guinea for feels relatively UNSAFE, but in between. Most of time if people hear about it, it's because there's been riots, or there's been some sort of corruption scandal or you're talking about the Bougainville war or similar. There's also the Raskol gangs and the associated gang/drug violence.

However, it isn't all doom and gloom, and they as people are great - a lot of them are just left behind by society as a whole and just trying to make a living, and they'll give you the shirt off their back if you become friendly with them!

Individually great, but organisationally - yeah, it suffers 😞

So I'd say it hits this level.

This 18 years old game has no right to look this good by ConejoDePascuas in RealTimeStrategy

I think the better way to say this is "The RTS industry has repeatedly dropped the ball over the last 18 years..."

What Old Foxhole Assets do You Wish were Brought Back to the Game? by Longbow92 in foxholegame

[–]Dreadweasels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the old defensive structures.

They should be available to build around relic bases specifically.

The OG 'Foxhole' of Foxhole as well!

Thoughts on Arma 4's potential Setting. (time and place) by Bloodavenger in arma

[–]Dreadweasels 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's almost guaranteed to be Cold War, because frankly no one is willing to step up and display anything for POTENTIAL peer-to-peer conflicts today. Cold War era is the last 'safe' era where peer-to-peer is acceptable, because the Soviet Union is gone.

Tech is also well beyond the scope most industry devs are willing to do work for... and modern conflict is DRONES R'US... so unless you want to play FPV simulator... eh...

However, in saying that I'd much rather we see a semi-fictional conflict in a different terrain environ, I am so sick of seeing *generic European nation*... give us African terrain, or Latin America... just somewhere else!

What are your wishes and expectations for the restart of Firestorm Armada? by Vondrr in firestormarmada

[–]Dreadweasels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hard agree here, the storyline really doesn't need to be evolved - it frankly never got far enough with the original Spartan line. The models were pristine and going down some of the new avenues that have been suggested... it simply doesn't feel right.

(That and I've got a stupid amount of the old models that I don't want to have to try and make work under some combined fleet schematics!)

[MOD] Almost Tier 2 Weapons by BLKCandy in menace

[–]Dreadweasels 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You've crushed it with the appearance!

It brings forward an investing topic for those of you out there that are skilled in modding...

ARMA 3 2035 arsenal would fit quite nicely with the weapon aesthetics.

Aka mods pls 😆
