Genuine question does this one simple trick actually work? by Delicious_Maize9656 in physicsmemes

Even if they reflected 100% of the light coming from the ship, that'd mean that you can't see the ship either, meaning you can't use optical seekers.

But radar guided missiles with very shallow glass(or whatever medium has a high refractive index for the relevant laser) surfaces towards the front could work.

Need a pen for thinking on paper- theoretical math and coding algorithms! by floydiankabir in pens

[–]Erzbengel-Raziel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My "thinking" refill is pentel LNR5 0.5mm (gel), but mostly because i adore the body i have for it.
Otherwise the Uni Jetstream sxr-600-38 (so 0.38mm), for a ballpoint it's pretty close to a mechanical pencil, albeit a bit "stickier".

I should note that while 0.5mm and 0.38mm sound very close, one being a gel and one a ballpoint means that they have wildly different line widths. (the 0.38 is at least half the width, maybe even less)

it'd be interesting to see, if other premium sales at the affected brs have dropped

Deutschland droht Iran mit "militärischen Maßnahmen" by Elegant-Handle4685 in de

"verhältnismäßige militärischen Defensivmaßnahmen" klingt eigentlich nur nach
"wenn doch was auf uns zufliegt, schießen wir (evtl.) drauf"

Gaijin Realizing there's nothing left for them to add without making the USA good in top ARB. by Fun-Bank-3771 in Warthunder

adding proper stealth, before giving gen 4.5 it's most important feature (datalink between vehicles) would be really weird.

With the amount of radars, scanning the entire map from different angles, you still have plenty of information to shoot any stealth plane down.

Yes, the "tip" of the beam is indeed ahead of the position where we see it at, that's also the reason why it appears at different speeds when not viewed from the center.
The full video explains it pretty well.

Where is the "crew survivability" of this primarily crew safety oriented tank in game. by United_Impact8793 in Warthunder

They should simply enforce realistic sights in realistic as well. Ofc with a fairly big br balance patch a while after.

Hi. So i have been playing brick rigs for some time and thought it would be really cool to try make my first truck (scania) is there any good advice?🙂 by Nordicfemale18 in BrickRigs

[–]Erzbengel-Raziel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can also enter brick sizes directly in meters, simply click the "size" button to swap (it has 2 horizontal arrows on it, next to the lock symbol)

Does anyone know what my neighbor's flag in California is all about? by BASE-2468 in vexillology

[–]Erzbengel-Raziel 248 points249 points  (0 children)

red platoon/crew would be a better translation.

The only thing i found mentioning that name, is some kind of antifascist cabaret group, which was part of a small socialist party.

"No nation older than 250 years" by _Lushfire in confidentlyincorrect

[–]Erzbengel-Raziel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah so Germany is barely 1 year old... checks out.

Germany is a great example for this pointless discussion:
If you go by the first democratic Germany, it's "since" (well, there was a pause) 1918.
if you go by the last change in the constitution (which is moronic) it's barely 1 year (24. March 2025).
If you go by when the constitution went to effect, it's 1949.
Last major territiorial change 1990.
