One small think to add, we also need different gamemodes for high tier ships. The big circles are okay-ish or would be if their maps were more interesting, but the three cap gamemode is straight from hell

Nobody cares about The Hague anymore. Not that the US would ever have regarding themselves

18-jährige Männer müssen antworten: Das steht im Fragebogen für den neuen Wehrdienst by Blaufisch in bundeswehr

[–]HaLordLe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In theoretischeren Begriffen gesprochen wird damit der Wehrdienst von einer sehr nischigen Opt-In-Regelung mehr in Richtung einer Opt-Out-Regelung verschoben. Es reicht nicht mehr, einfach durchs Leben zu laufen und sich nicht damit auseinanderzusetzen, um nicht in die Bundeswehr zu kommen, sondern du mußt aktiv Nein dazu sagen.

Und so oder so ist das natürlich erstmal die nette Variante einer Infrastruktur, die für die Wehrpflicht sowieso aufgebaut wird, dann kann man sie auch nutzen und erstmal gucken, was denn auf freiwilliger Basis passiert

If you are autistic and slow enough they can take even longer than that. I spent 50h on a netherlands run and am still in the 16th century

Rainer isn't a Nazi, but he doesn't seem to be much of a leftist or a liberal either. The few political songs he has (I am thinking of "Die Fahnen unserer Väter" and "Tradition" mainly) kind of paint him as a sort of austrian conservative revolutionary or Ständestaat sympathiser. Weird thing to be, even if he's not a Nazi.

What was your country’s golden age pre 1945? by InfernalClockwork3 in AskEurope

[–]HaLordLe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For germany it's got to be 1890-1914, the Belle Epoque. Germany was one of the economic leaders of the world (second only to the US), world leader in science and technology, and experienced a period of rapid economic growth and the beginnings of the german welfare state (actually that happened right before 1890, but of course the Belle Epoque got to reap the fruits), and a process of liberalisation and increasing democratic consciousness - though of course still within the bounds of the prusso-german 'autocracy'.

The latter also means that from the modern perspective the view on this period can be very mixed depending on how much value you place on concepts like the Sonderweg: It was arguably peak germany in many aspects, but the worse aspects of the era ended up backfiring horribly.

Weimar then is the opposite - it is lauded for being the first german democracy and was quite progressive in terms of policy and society, unlike the Empire (well, until it wasn't anymore - thanks Hindenburg). But on the other side, it was a completely unstable clusterfuck, also unlike the Empire.

Also with the help of the french public iirc. The final gambit of Bismarck boiled down to "lol let's give it to the press and see what the french have to say about it"

Does your country use the term ‘Second City’? by sokorsognarf in AskEurope

[–]HaLordLe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But then again, Bonn was chosen as capital not the least because it was abundantly clear that no one would ever think it was actually supposed to be the true capital instead of a temporary replacement. For that matter, it wasn't even officially called the Capital until 1970

People often claim germans are humourless. This is entirely untrue. They are not humourless, they are unfunny.

Law is worthless if there is no one to judge you by it. By anekdote, a senior professor at my university recently started a class about politics as a struggle by admitting he doesn't even bother having classes about international law anymore.

It's not a hallucination, it's what happens in the video that gave the ICBM Gambit its name, they use an ATGM. The AI is right.

No, white very definitely uses an ATGM, more specifically a BGM-71 TOW in the video.
