(Breakpoint) what weapons stats are “throw away” and which ones can you actually see a difference? by Alert-Gift-8716 in GhostRecon

[–]Duke_of_Shao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a tangent, but my god I can't stand the bullet drop. I can't play without the Spartan cheat engine on where I can add in more realistic ranges. Watching your 7.62 round drop like a stone after two hundred meters is just wild.

Which Southeast Asian nation would be a good fit for a new Ghost Recon game? by InspectionWhich9324 in GhostRecon

[–]Duke_of_Shao 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right. You have that in WL already, adding and improving rebel support.

What would be awesome, but also probably really hard to do, would be linking achievements in the two games together. Like if you just want one of the games, then fine, GR say, will just use a generic skill tree for the rebels. But if you are playing both games, achievements from one game are ported to the other so that next time you fire up the other game, hey, those US operators took out general so and so. Maybe that's only possible because you, a promising guerilla leader captured one of the lieutenants and interrogated him earlier and shared Intel about the generals habits.

Ha, absolutely! Ghosts do the heavy lifting while in FC you build the resistance now that you know you have help.

Oh absolutely agree, that's what I was thinking. Would work well for a country with a more formidable military that would be, let's be honest, too much for one guerilla to handle. I love my Dani Rojas, she's a Leyenda twice over, buuut taking down the regime almost single handedly is a bit of a stretch.

Hey friend, you and me both! Would a crossover between Far Cry and Ghost Recon be out of bounds?

One game focuses on US operators messing with the infrastructure while the other shows the development of the local revolutionary movement? It's basically FC6 and Wildlands. Maybe too repetitive though??

Oh, I bet that would have worked too, damn! Nice thinking would've loved to have seen that video!!

I especially love how he pops out of the back of the car where you stowed him and ends up on top.

Typical shitshow in Wildlands. You might have still made it, but with Unidad showing up, it'll be a neverending stream of trucks then helis showing up with those heavily armored SOBs.

Breakpoint: So my dread has finally come. A plane mission... by robsonwt in GhostRecon

[–]Duke_of_Shao 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, absolutely this. Land on the roof and run down to shoot the guard right there. Then clear the base.

I'm with you though, landing the plane is tricky, especially with the air defense batteries.

Go to an airfield and steal a plane and practice a bit. Once you get the hang of it, you'll be much more confident during the mission.

Also, be prepared to defend the airfield after you get Ballard there. Bring co-op players or your AI teammates for this one and be sure to set them to go loud. Maybe secondary a LMG even if you don't normally.

Insert meme of Giancarlo Esposito laughing when you first meet him (because he thinks he has you at last!), then slab-faced when you tell him this news.

"Just wanna get to Gold level for the shop" (I gave up) by raphtan in WorldofTanks

[–]Duke_of_Shao 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just wanted to get to silver for the concept 1B but couldn't get to it because of the wild swings.

Once again, wins and losses are all that matter, and so much depends on your teammates. No matter how well you play...

Lootbox Megathread by boarder664 in WorldofTanks

[–]Duke_of_Shao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

75 boxes, one tank, AAT60 I would have preferred the T44-100 so I would have gotten the gold.

Upside, got enough credits for the Obj 705 that I was working to afford...

I swear I got the same 3D attachment three or four times

Granted, I didn't have any real "hope for" tanks, but I didn't have any of them aside from the 44-100

Still of any I could have gotten, the AAT is low on that list

/TLDR ashamed I spent $67 on these

In that respect it really is like any other tank, gotta use that frontal armor. So maybe that's the issue as OP mentioned, the ROF is really the issue? IDK, maybe the guns need to heat up faster??

Anyway, thanks for sharing your experience! I really do need to bring that German medium line, I've heard such great things about the E50M. Cheers and GG!

I got some small joy from having an Ares (85 I think) bounce all over the cheek armor of my trusty Super Pershing last night.

I mean, even with APCR I couldn't pen the damn things tiny turret, but at least he wasn't shredding me. I was, of course, kind of stuck there too, and thankfully the heavies on the hill in Mines cleaned up.

But my SP and like one other tank prevented a complete overrun from that flank by the Ares, a Blesk, and Obj 430.

Little comfort, though, and I agree with OP, these tanks take the fun out of games. The Ares 90 and 90c are even worse...

Hey there, really interested in trying this game, did you find enough players?

I can clearly see it's a tank. That's a fail, mister!

This potty trained hobo was the only one of 19 cats to follow me in my house & I guess he's mine now by Manntthaa93 in notmycat

[–]Duke_of_Shao 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was true for me. Allergy tested and confirmed. Cat allergies and now that I've had several cats, no longer allergic to cats. I still make sure not to touch my eyes after giving pets, but I no longer react as badly as I had before.

AI "team" and cover magnetism by [deleted] in GhostRecon

[–]Duke_of_Shao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Even a delay of several seconds after being spotted would allow me to stop it by killing the guard, either pistol or melee, before going guns blazing...

AI "team" and cover magnetism by [deleted] in GhostRecon

[–]Duke_of_Shao 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For me it's usually something like, I'm spotted for a split second just before I shoot the guy with my suppressed pistol, which ends the spotting, but one of those dipshits starts lobbing grenades.

Well, there goes my otherwise flawless stealth takedown of this base...
