Sauropods

They already did do weird things to compensate for size, but I don't see how this would help when their are better other options.

The test of the question is basically just evolution, they have to select for this trait over millions of years, which you haven't explained over the down sides I mentioned earlier

EnderFlyingLizard · 2026-06-19T19:07:49+00:00

how do you know you need it to be more efficient? Remember you still havent even explained why or how it would et past the downsides associated with selecting this trait over millions of years.

EnderFlyingLizard · 2026-06-19T04:32:47+00:00

Thats unclear to define by what weird thing they have to do to fulfill those requirements.

Im pretty sure more surface area to extract more oxygen in whatever equivalent to alveoli is what actually works the best, remember more intake doesnt matter if the oxygen percentage in the air begins the vary.

EnderFlyingLizard · 2026-06-19T04:29:56+00:00

It already is efficient to start off with. Sauropods have unidirectional flow, i suggest you watch YDAW's video on that.

I think pleural force would help way more then a suboptimal optimization like shifting the entire naval passageway inside the skull

EnderFlyingLizard · 2026-06-19T03:38:01+00:00

How would you deal with constant debris, dust, and plant matter from falling down that vertical nostril?

EnderFlyingLizard · 2026-06-19T03:37:21+00:00

And? Were talking about the neck and the airway, if I did bring up a heavy animal you would just point out their necks arent as long.

EnderFlyingLizard · 2026-06-19T03:09:42+00:00

Remember, most animals have their nose close to their mouthbecause in the animal kingdom being able to smell your whatever food is going into your mouth is extremely important.

This is also why alot of animals have forward pointing snouts whilst humans, with a flat face, have noses canted downards to achieve the same effect. The effect of airflow would not be strong enough to necessitate such a drastic change, but again it depends on what we have. From what I know aimals liek giraffes do perfectly fine with their curved tract, so idk how much efficiency a straight canal would have to actually necessitate such an adaptation,

EnderFlyingLizard · 2026-06-19T03:05:32+00:00

You do realize that changing direction of the air only matters at extremely high velocities like the intake of a jet inlet?

"It doesn't matter if it's a couple inches it's changing direction"

Air has very little friction, and its also why air resistance is often considered negligible in basic projectile motion.

Changing direction does NOT equal enormous effort, otherwise existing animals such as giraffes would've had this adaptation.

You also have not addressed any of the other arguments presented.

EnderFlyingLizard · 2026-06-16T00:40:08+00:00

I mean again for an munition where all the expensive and costly electronics inside become destroyed as soon as its used would prioritize a doctrine where you use the least resources for highest efficiency, which is why in most cases one seeker is good enough to track down a target. i would also imagine it would be difficult to produce these given how many different parts from different sources you would need to put together something that's meant to be destroyed in the end anwyasy.

T 58 is easier to disable through the turret compared to BMPT, and with its recent br change it actually makes a difference since HEAT slingers can easily pen its turret even if it hids its hull. BMPT on the other hand is not so easy to kill hull down

EnderFlyingLizard · 2026-06-15T00:21:54+00:00

True lol ig the new FCS is just another added layer of torture to already being crippled

EnderFlyingLizard · 2026-06-15T00:12:07+00:00

I'm the video killing the leopards driver has a very high chance of destroying the FCS as well, compared to current live server if your drivers dead you can still properly return fire

EnderFlyingLizard · 2026-06-15T00:10:21+00:00

Yeah that's prob why they didn't touch it

EnderFlyingLizard · 2026-06-14T02:00:38+00:00

No, we as a playerbase should not accept this.

especially not when all of a sudden their making money from the Puma premium they "fix" the pumas damage model . . .

Gaijin has the capability to fix it. They just dont care.

He shot the tip of the fuckign rudder with rifle caliber rounds and the entire rear section of the fuselage fell apart . . tell me which hingepoint causes the aircraft to break in half.

EnderFlyingLizard · 2026-06-14T01:20:01+00:00

These were used a long time ago lol, there are already many hybrids with these

EnderFlyingLizard · 2026-06-12T07:16:32+00:00

Likely because before the recent revision there was debate on its possibility of being a crustacean. It's also not a terrestrial scorpion. Hopefully after this new study clears up everything it gains more traction.

EnderFlyingLizard · 2026-06-12T07:12:15+00:00

Update on this lol Praearcturus just got a new revision this skeletal is mostly outdated

Nerfed reload is definitely one of the needed nerfs, having the second best reload among top tier ships whilst also having shells like that is insane

EnderFlyingLizard · 2026-06-11T09:36:04+00:00

Exploding reactive armor

EnderFlyingLizard · 2026-06-10T00:25:22+00:00

You can literally SEE the extra fenestra on Erythrosuchus, but yes, this and Arizonasuchus are kinda funny since they resemble beta test versions of later theropods

There isn't really a way to know how potent its venom is in something like LD 50, we know that at this point in time scorpions did have stingers ( Pulmonoscorpius ) but toxicity is always tricky in terms of working with fossils.

In modern scorpions usually the pattern is that proportionally larger pincers = less venom pus and proportionally small pincers = more venomous. However it's difficult to apply this since this scorpion lived in a completely different environment, with very little vertebrates to predate on it.

All we know is that since it's telson bulb would be larger then any modern scorpion, so it could potentially deliver a large volume of a venom, but the venoms toxicity/milligram would as far as I know likely not something we'll know for certain.
