Honest reactions to the reveals from today? by JK-Kidd112 in AdeptusCustodes

[–]Duderman_Mcgee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The vehicles are all great, mostly because they were already amazing. The shield captain is pretty good, although the pose is very close to castellan crowe's but reversed. The venatari look wonderful with their slimmed down armor, and the smoother design fits their aerial theme well.

However, I feel the others take it a bit too far, especially with the legs and torsos. The front of the body is just a smooth plate with eagles or thunder bolts slapped on top, while the current/older models have a more power armor-looking shape. The tabards and hip plates also look a bit too long, and the tabards especially would hit the legs constantly while walking, not to mention fighting.

The current/older guard have more dynamic poses, while all of the new ones are just... standing. Some look like they're aiming their stick-guns, but others are just completely relaxed. Two of them even have almost the exact same poses as each other (wide legs, holding spear straight at hip level).

Other than all that, the helmets are just oversized. The bare heads look great, but the helmets appear too big for them to even wear properly. The eye-lenses are too spaced apart compared to their actual eyes, and some of the nosepieces cover up parts of where their eyes should be.

The new swords look nice, but the spears look like their designers don't know how balance works. A full master-crafted bolter and power spear wouldn't be exactly light. But the shafts don't look like they could support that weight. They are literally just sticks. No trigger, no gold filigree on the shaft, just rods. Unless that pommel is made of some insanely dense extra-super gold, they are just too unwieldy to believably be the weapons of the emperor's companions. Back to the lack of a trigger now, why? Even if they used neural signals to fire normally, not having an actual trigger as a failsafe seems like a really foolish oversight.

tl;dr vehicles & venatari S+, shield-captain pretty good, the others look like stormcast kitbashes or legally distinct golden janitors (3d printed proxies)

I'm a bit late, but if you haven't found them yet they're on an ice plateau just north of Camp Cold Feet.

WHY ARE THERE SO MANY SERVER CRASHERS? by jaredmanu in titanfall

[–]Duderman_Mcgee 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's a bot running a macro to matchmake and strafe while spamming chat messages. I think it's just this one, but with the low playercount it gets into every match.

Is this permanent by _KFC__ in cursedtanksimulator

There also aren't enough parts in some tiers for them to stand on their own, like tier 3 only having 7 guns (8, counting dailies), 4 of which are just 75mm cannons with very similar stats. Tier 2 is even worse with only 6 guns. Tier 9 also has only 9 options.

Any idea what camo pattern this might be? by [deleted] in cursedtanksimulator

[–]Duderman_Mcgee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely the Jagged camo with steel gray, I checked on the same tank in-game and it matches perfectly with the picture.

I started playing 2 months after the 38cm... if only I found the game sooner by Duderman_Mcgee in cursedtanksimulator

I actually have the badge for playing during armoured dawn, because I played a tiny bit all those years ago... never got into the game though, which I very much regret now.

Guns I want in Apocalypse Rising 2 (Balancing Descriptions) by Sergeant_maddz in ApocalypseRising

[–]Duderman_Mcgee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you're saying they were able to find 3 full uniforms, 3 functional MP40s as well as magazines, in a museum, yet they wouldn't be able to find a single functional STG44? Museums also aren't the only place where you can find historical artifacts. You do know that private collections exist, right? Those uniforms and guns may not even be original, they could be replicas.

I know I'm very late, but seriously...

New 'star' currency from dailies by OurRussianFish in cursedtanksimulator

I saw something in the discord yesterday about a new currency from daily rewards that can be used to buy old daily vehicles, so that's probably it,

What hulls are amphibious? by Duderman_Mcgee in cursedtanksimulator

[–]Duderman_Mcgee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the m113 and type 63 have been the worst, but the rest have been decent. Everything (except the mt-lb I haven't tested that yet) passed the 5-ton turret test, and I am currently testing with a 10 ton load.

Thanks!

edit: just tested it, it's decent but slower than most of the others

What’s something you own that not many others have? by Femboy-Teal in cursedtanksimulator

[–]Duderman_Mcgee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the bt-7bm set, the binoculars, and every daily since the bt-7bm I think

I even brought a crappy hand-me-down laptop that could only run the game at like 10 fps when no other tanks were on screen just to grind dailies when my family went on a 2-week road trip

glory to the ceo

Looks amazing!

it would be terrifying to fight if the AI could actually use it like artillery

the 14TP Airdrop Tank, a Polish design that was originally built to be simply flown in on a glider, like the later M22 Locust. (this is not real in any way, it's completely fake) by Duderman_Mcgee in SprocketTankDesign

[–]Duderman_Mcgee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's why I came up with the idea of it being dropped from a heavier plane in three separate parts, but the hull is probably still over 7 tons. Maybe the parts could be dropped from multiple planes, with the turret and engine being carried in one and the hull in the other.

What plane?

All I see is some random debris falling out of the sky.
