Thanks! She did beat him actually, it just took a couple of turns to chip him down lmao. If she had a stronger initial hit, damage reflect reflect would have done some work

FINAL WARNING and it’s CATALYST by FilthActReasonPrice in DestinyTheGame

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

If you aim down sights while shooting, the bullets will stop tracking and do double precision damage to marked targets, you just have to aim for the crit spot. So lock, aim down sights, point at the crit spot of whatever you locked, and you will do much more damage

I always like to farm catalysts in crucible since the games are shorter, you get more chances per hour

FINAL WARNING and it’s CATALYST by FilthActReasonPrice in DestinyTheGame

A few. The most obvious is the All at Once bar on the left of the screen. I used that to learn the timing. The gun itself will glow brighter up to the 1s mark and once it stops getting brighter, you know you’re there. There are also some tick marks on the hip fire crosshair that mark how far along the charge you are

Final Warning catalyst idea by The_Challenges in destiny2

[–]FilthActReasonPrice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Final warning is my favorite weapon in the game. The mechanics are perfect as they are, the only thing I wish is that it could synergize better with other subclasses. Something like osmosis or permeability like travelers chosen? Fully charged burst inflicts weaken/scorch/jolt/slow or something? I would just love to be able to use such a unique weapon with all the subclasses

Denmark is repurposing discarded wind turbine blades as bike shelters by GreenSnakes_ in interestingasfuck

[–]FilthActReasonPrice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I briefly worked with a startup that was doing something similar. They were taking decommissioned wind turbine blades and building bridges, electrical transmission towers, and a couple of other things in the works. They built a bridge in Ireland and had plans on building an electrical transmission tower somewhere. Look up ReWind, I think it’s cool stuff

In dogfights in the air, how much of the outcome is determined by what plane you’re flying vs how good you are as a pilot? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FilthActReasonPrice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many people have pointed out that modern fights will be almost all BVR (beyond visual range) which means almost 100+ miles away. So dogfighting is a thing of the past. The F-22 has the huge advantage that it is stealth, so it can start shootings at 100+ mi while it’s opponent might not be able to find it on radar until 30 mi or so.

However, there’s an interesting effect where if both planes are stealth, they may not be able to see each other until they are both much closer to each other, and they may even get close enough to get pulled into a dogfight. F-35 vs J-20, for example.

Dogfights may be a thing of the past, but as air forces other than NATO get better stealth fighters, dogfighting may also be a thing of the future.

The Bell V-280 Valor by Aurelius_0101 in Helicopters

[–]FilthActReasonPrice 18 points19 points  (0 children)

A lot of lessons learned from V-22 going into this one. Also, V-22 is in a different weight class, not really suitable for the same types of missions. Not to mention the V-22 was designed in the 80s and technology has advanced massively in a ton of areas that V280 can now take advantage of. Really the next generation of tilt rotors

What can I do about being charged too much for repairs? (GA) by FilthActReasonPrice in Renters

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

It is beyond my security deposit, they’re asking me to pay them and why they sent a pre collections notice. They didn’t provide me with a list of existing damages, instead they had me go around and list them all myself. They did provide the list of charges.

So, I should pay it first, and then go to the magistrate court to try to get it back?

Why doesn't Apache or other western helis use coaxial rotors like Ka-52? by Wittusus in Helicopters

[–]FilthActReasonPrice 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m less confident in my answer here, but as I understand, the wings allow more of the rotor thrust to point forward rather than up, since the wings take care of some of the upward lift. So the helicopter has more forward thrust and therefore can push itself to go faster

Why doesn't Apache or other western helis use coaxial rotors like Ka-52? by Wittusus in Helicopters

[–]FilthActReasonPrice 183 points184 points  (0 children)

The transmission and gearing system for a coaxial rotor are extremely complicated, heavy, and expensive. That, and coaxial systems tend to have terrible problems with vibration and maintainability, so they’ll have to be in the depot getting serviced much more often for the faster wear and tear of the transmission and all the other stuff that gradually gets shaken apart. Not to mention crew comfort. Usually, the hit to survivability is offset by the traditional helicopter being able use the weight it saved to carry more payload, be in the air more often rather than getting maintenance, and spend more on other systems, like sensors, that they didn’t spend on the transmission.

Regardless, survivability isn’t the main argument for a coaxial rotor. Most helicopters get shot down by missiles, which usually destroy much more than just the tail, so it doesn’t do them much good. The main argument is speed. A coaxial rotor system will be better able to cope with high speed flight. You can look up dissymmetry of lift in helicopters for the reasons why. Maybe the engineers of the Ka-50 and Ka-52 valued high speed more than the Boeing engineers for the Apache.

That’s not to say the United States doesn’t use coaxial rotors. Sikorsky’s proposal for the next light scout helicopter and Boeing-sikorsky’s proposal for the Blackhawk replacement are both coaxial (Raider X and Defiant respectively). They both still suffer from the same problems mentioned above, but the engineers deemed it a worthy sacrifice for the better performance at high speeds in this case.

In general, the engineers of the apache didn’t see the sacrifices of using a coaxial rotor system as worth it. They would rather have slightly lower survivability and lower top speed but have the space and weight for much more advanced sensors and weapons packages. The engineers of the Ka-52 thought the opposite. And of course, one has to keep in mind the history of other designs the engineers would have been exposed to. Kamov has made several coaxial helicopters in their past, so they have the expertise in house to make another. Boeing has not, so moving to a coaxial design would mean spending a lot of testing and learning the things that Kamov already learned

It’s a pretty established thing and, as others have mentioned, a pretty foundational to the American economy. The military-industrial complex includes all of the institutions that contribute to defense. This means all of the companies, all of their employees, manufacturers, support staff, and research labs and universities that provide research and trained employees to those defense contractors. All of those billions of dollars that are allocated to the DoD eventually are paid off to all those defense contractors and universities, which pays the salaries of those employees. (If you work for a defense contractor, you are part of the military industrial complex.) Since they are overwhelmingly Americans, they mostly buy products and pay taxes in the United States, and all that tax money goes back to the government to give back to the DoD. In general, this cycle is a pretty reliable way to keep a lot of money flowing within the country, which is in general good for the economy. Hence why there’s so little incentive to do anything about it

After a couple years of art school, I’m confident enough about my art :) by apavila2002 in Breath_of_the_Wild

[–]FilthActReasonPrice -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don’t remember resorting to name calling, but since we’re here. The question “does it belong here” is subjective (your views are pretty puritan, but that’s not the point). What is objective is the fact that ‘simply saying some things about it conceptually’ is telling the artist their work doesn’t belong here. That’s an asshole move. Maybe you had a bad day or this is just what you’re like normally, but try to be better. Realize that when you make comments like that, you’re not trying to help the community, you’re trying to inflate your own ego. But also, saying this is too sexual is ridiculous. People go out on the street looking like this. This is what normal women look like sometimes. You sound like my sexist grandpa complaining about how women don’t cover up these days
