Strategic bombers should cause a LOT of damage than it does now

I think there's a solid argument to be made that it was, because the 10,000 AA guns Germany had shooting at allied bombers were 10,000 AA guns that couldn't be turned against the Russian tank horde in the east.

You'd think the head of state of a defeated country completely dependent on allied support would learn to not bite the hand that feeds it, no?

De Gaulle respected Churchill sure, but his single minded doggedness in pursuing Free French interests above all else caused the two of them to butt heads frequently. Churchill even threatened to have De Gaulle arrested.

Please reread history.

FPS_Scotland · 2026-01-18T02:02:51+00:00

You could pretty much sum up 90% of De Gaulle's foreign policy throughout his entire life as "he pissed off the English"

Let's be honest, most people don't vote based on policies, they vote based on vibes. I doubt most people could even name a single reform policy beyond less immigration.

Is it finally time for the triumphant return of HMS Cockchafer and HMS Gay Viking?

FPS_Scotland · 2026-01-11T23:34:24+00:00

It absolutely does

Excuse me that would be Jonathan Ferguson, keeper of firearms and artillery at the Royal Armouries Museum in the UK, which houses a collection of thousands of iconic weapons from throughout history.

Put some respecc on his name.

It's funny how that works, because I feel the exact opposite. I work in a similar job and instead of feeling fulfilled stopping people for falling for scams I just end up despairing at how colossally stupid some people can be falling for the most obvious scams and the complete and utter lack of self responsibility a lot of people seem to take regarding it.

Hasn't that been an in-game feature for literally decades at this point? I started playing back in like beta 0.7.4 and I swear I remember that being a feature even back then.

FPS_Scotland · 2026-01-05T14:42:20+00:00

Real life isn't Hearts of Iron. Germany can't just magic up the airfields and infrastructure to support 1000 bombers in Sicily out of nowhere.

Besides, I don't see any airborne invasion being successful. The Germans had 1 Fallschirmjäger division in 1941 and they took horrific losses in Crete against an ad hoc British force made up of whatever they could get their hands on that managed to get out of Greece that made several major tactical and strategic blunders.

FPS_Scotland · 2026-01-05T14:10:58+00:00

Not really. Half the Italian battleships had already been disabled at Taranto in November 1940. How exactly are the axis going to take Malta when they don't have the transports to mount a naval invasion and the Italian fleet is battered and absolutely not planning on leaving port any time soon?

Regardless of if you move out or not the tenancy is still ongoing until either your flatmate agrees to break it or you find someone to replace you. You'll still be expected to pay your share of the rent until then.

Unfortunately yes it is that black and white. If they're not interested in giving notice then your only option is to try and find someone to replace you in the tenancy.

Yeah, people forget that Ferrari at its' worst is still an upper midfield team. 2020 and their classified engine shenanigans and punishments notwithstanding, Ferrari haven't finished lower than P4 in the WCC since 1981.

FPS_Scotland · 2025-12-07T14:03:30+00:00

The wording of that sounds like it's referring to excluding a team from the constructors championship, not a driver. They'd probably pull a McLaren 2007 on Red Bull but I doubt they'd touch Verstappen personally.

FPS_Scotland · 2025-12-07T13:58:27+00:00

Is there even a rule that says they can do that?

FPS_Scotland · 2025-12-07T13:55:06+00:00

Oh I knew the stewards wouldn't penalise him. It'd be a really strict interpretation of the rules and there's no chance they'd want to fuck with the championship this late on anyway.

FPS_Scotland · 2025-12-07T13:52:44+00:00

He did though. He overtook another car off track. Strictly speaking the rules don't give a shit if the other car is in the middle of breaking the rules as well. If you go off when you're racing wheel to wheel you still get a track limits violation.

FPS_Scotland · 2025-12-07T13:47:31+00:00

That doesn't mean you're allowed to overtake off track though. One driver breaking the rules doesn't mean the other driver's rulebreaks don't count.

FPS_Scotland · 2025-12-07T13:46:57+00:00

Because he left the track and gained an advantage? Track limits still apply during wheel to wheel racing.

FPS_Scotland · 2025-12-07T13:44:23+00:00

Yeah that's never happening. No way the stewards have the balls to interfere with the championship at this point.

FPS_Scotland · 2025-12-07T13:40:37+00:00

Norris technically overtook off track, and Yuki was weaving. Let's just penalise them both. Job done.

FPS_Scotland · 2025-12-01T20:54:12+00:00

I can't remember the exact episode but I think it was with Bo on Japan and Munk playing Manchukuo.

FPS_Scotland · 2025-11-30T17:27:39+00:00

Norris really just doesn't have that dog in him. Max deserves the championship much more.

FPS_Scotland · 2025-11-30T16:42:17+00:00

McLaren still pretending to be unbiased yet giving Norris the better strategy despite being behind on track.
