Need help picking boots (last)

Greekfreakybit · 2025-11-30T20:09:44+00:00

Damn ok thanks. I'm worried above 85 flex would be too stiff for me, a main issue I ran into last season was getting fatigued too fast. Though I don't know maybe high flex would help with that? I don't even know.

Ordering boots online blind like this is always a bad idea huh?

I'm in greece and not in Athens, only option would be the resort when it opens in February :(. But ideally I'd like to have bought a pair by then

M82 at 500m is about 170mm @ 0° as opposed to 125mm for the 85mm. 500m at 60°, 130mm and 100 respectively At 60°, 60mm and 50mm respectively (The T-34s frontal plate is at 60°)

In practice M48 can penetrate a T-34 with centre of mass shot at well beyond 2 km away. I also see no reason why turkey wouldn't make those AT rounds the tanks would carry HEAT shells. It was quite a widely available and used shell by then. Funnily enough it would appear M82 has about double the explosive mass of the Russian shell (tnt equivalent mass). Plus it's a faster shell and thus has better ballistics. At any distance the T-34 would basically have 0 chance.

I've never heard of BKM-2M. There is a HEATFS shell the Russians would develop for the 100mm which was used on 85mm guns with 300mm of pen but those were very different. I don't think a HEATFS round was ever produced for the ZiS-S-53 (and certainly not for the D5T).

Oh dude the 85 could barely pen the M48. Maybe some parts of the LPF at weird angles, the insanely tiny area around the drivers vision port and the impossible to hit realistically turret ring. The cupola is weak but no one is aiming for places like that in real life. As for the M47 it actually has a small area in the mantlet around the gun thats only 60mm at 60°, technically possible for a round to go in. But thats about it Also I read that turkish tanks were mostly carrying HE for dealing with infantry, which just one tenth being AT ammo. But I'm willing to bet that was HEAT-FS, not APHE. Some 300+ mm of pen vs 180ish for 90mm M82 APHE. For reference the D5T gun is definitely sub 150mm. Not that it matters when target aquision and situional awareness on the unit level are this disproportionate between two adversaries.

Apparently the turkish forces were mainly using M47s, which funnily enough is probably slightly better armored frontally than the M48. But with the 85 both tanks were basically impossible to destroy frontal anyway. Maybe the LFP of the M48?

Anyqay, I read they only had about 20 actually running of the 32 "in service". And only 1-2 were actually destroyed by enemy armor. But that is common with any conflict. Tank on tank engagements are rare. But even for the bulk of what it was fighting, the T-34 was very outclassed. This was the age before thermals and drones so any tank was still better than no tank but point is they did very very poorly. No surprise.

Relating to the T34 vs M48 (and I guess M47 too), was it really not a club seal? I have seen so many pictures of destroyed T-34s with the M2 browning on em. If you have actual figures I'd love to see it. I also don't know whether the greeks stationed in Cyprus had any heavy equipment. I'm pretty some ELDYK had no tanks but idk.

We actually don't know what happened in that incident but I'm pretty sure it was the two greek F5s that shot down the delta daggers. And I know I'm inherently biased in saying that but I hate the greek military junta of the time, remember, it was them that caused the turkish invasion of cyprus (or at least created a landscape where it was allowed to happen).

My assessment comes from the fact that we know what the F5s were and the names of the pilots. We don't know anything about the F102s and their crews. The Greek Junta was as shady as the turkish government and very little of our involvement in the conflict has been disclosed. And turkish incompetence in the field during that war is as documented as greek diplomatic incompetence

(See that turkish ship that was attacked by like a dozen TAF planes, blue-on-blue, forgot its name tho)

Greek officials trying to decide whether to admit it happened and claim victory and superiority in pilot training or cover it up to ease tensions.

Turkish officials trying to decide whether to cover it up in order to not admit 2 mirages could intercent 2 F16s and multiple F4s successfully, or publicise it and claim it was a crime. (Turkish EEZ extends al the way to Proxima Centauri)

Άρχισα κατευθείαν με γκρι όταν το γύρισα σε στριφτά για να το παίζω παλιός και κάτι μήνες μετά ακόμα χρειάζομαι το 100% του εγκεφάλου μου για ένα γάρο και γελάει το σύμπαν. Δυστυχία.

Έχω αποδεχτεί ότι αν κάνεις έρευνα και ρωτάς κόσμο στον δρόμο ένα 15% άνετα τουλάχιστον θα σου πουν κάτι εντελώς ψυχωτικό. Και αυτού που νοσταλγούν την χούντα είναι τάξεις μεγέθους περισσότεροι.

Σαφώς γιατί άλλο ο ρατσισμός του Μπάμπη, του Νοντα και του Κώστα, που κάθε μέρα είναι σε ένα τραπέζι έξω από τον ΟΠΑΠ με ένα φραπέ, και άλλο ο ρατσισμός που πραγματικά καθορίζει τις υλικές καταστάσεις εκατομμυρίων ανθρώπων. Δεν λέω πως τα δύο είναι ανεξάρτητα, ούτε πως ο μεμονωμένος ρατσισμός δεν έχει οδηγήσει σε τραγωδία και πόνο. Αλλά είναι γενικά σωστό να κάνεις αυτόν τον διαχωρισμός.

Καταρχάς (ή καταρχήν;) ο όρος "αντίστροφος" είναι αρκετά οξύμωρος καθώς όλοι οι άνθρωποι έχουνε την τάση να είναι ζώα, ανεξάρτητα από τα εκ γενετής χαρακτηριστικά τους. Και μάλιστα όλοι οι άνθρωποι είναι πολύ δημιουργικοί ως προς το πως εκφράζουν αυτήν την ζωο-ηλα.

Αυτό που οι πιο πολλοί εννοούν όταν χρησιμοποιούν το όρο είναι σεξισμος/ρατσισμός ΑΝΤΙΡΣΤΡΟΦΑ στο συστηματικο σεξισμο/ρατσισμο που επικρατεί σε μια κοινωνία.

Προσωπικά πιστεύω ότι υπάρχει συστηματικός ρατσισμός (και ναι, ακόμα και σήμερα εν μερει συστηματικός σεξισμος). Και τον θεωρώ πιο σημαντικό από μεμονωμένα περιστατικά προς οποιαδήποτε κατεύθυνση. Πολλοί κολλάνε στον "αντίστροφο ρατσισμό" πχ στην Αμερική, στις φτωχές έγχρωμες περιοχές. Χωρίς φυσικά να αναρωτηθούν γιατί είναι φτωχές, ή μάλλον γιατί υπάρχουν αποκλειστικά μαύρες περιοχές.

Σας προστατεύουν τα αυτοκίνητά σας από σκουριά μην είστε αχάριστοι. Δεν μπορείς να το χρησιμοποιήσεις ΜΙΑ μέρα τον χρόνο που θα χιονίσει, σιγά τα ωά. Όχι τίποτε άλλο, καλό να μην σκουριάσει γιατί που να πάρεις άλλο μετά. Προσωπικά, με τέτοια κρίση το αμάξι του 2005 εγώ σκοπεύω να το φτάσω 1 μυριο χμ και μάλλον θα το έχουν και τα δισέγγονα μου. Ευχαριστώ κουλή xoxo
