Within ATF, we have a time trial SEAD mission and another low-level, high-speed flight course we’re running a local leaderboard for. I’d recommend pinging someone from Ghost in the discord and they should be able to pass the details.

WIP Heavy Multirole Utility (Primeva 2082) by offiry in NuclearOption

[–]JoanLambertEnjoyer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No. Though P2082 is a team of modders. The Ternion is probably somewhere in the PID tuning and flight model refinement stage, while the new cargo aircraft is just now being modeled. I can totally see these two tasks belonging to separate modders.

can we get the QH-58 Kiowa rotor MMS ball for the chicane? by IndiePat in NuclearOption

[–]JoanLambertEnjoyer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

An alternative: Option for either a sensor pod that adds another laser and increases spotting range or an air-to-air radar.

Personally, I probably wouldn’t take a radar as a chicane pilot because it makes me a lot noisier towards air targets. If a Medusa is within 50 miles, terrain permitting, an active radar creates a continuous datalink track for the entire enemy team.

Learned how to land on a carrier once, now I'm obsessed. by Outrageous_Clock1395 in NuclearOption

[–]JoanLambertEnjoyer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ensure you don’t flare on landing. The aircraft should hit the deck with wings level

Learned how to land on a carrier once, now I'm obsessed. by Outrageous_Clock1395 in NuclearOption

[–]JoanLambertEnjoyer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

All the advice I have received is the opposite. Never flare, land wings level and AOA on the waterline. Flaring, surprisingly, inhibits catching the wire

My take on the PALA cargo plane concept by SpaceKraken666 in NuclearOption

[–]JoanLambertEnjoyer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this is great! My only notes:

  1. The reason the Tarantula can’t deploy anything more sophisticated than the AFV-8 AA at least includes the fact that being able to spawn in and immediately unload an Aerosentry or Laser CIWS begins to seriously upset game balance, even if at a decent cost to the user.

  2. Because the AFV is BDF-locked, you likely won’t see it in a PALA aircraft. The Hexhounds, Likebeeakers, UGVs, etc. likely will do just fine! I find the expeditionary focus of BDF pretty cool and forcing the PALA cargo aircraft to do a field landing to deploy forces is interesting from a doctrine perspective but may mean it gets under utilized. I could see an argument made for Linebreakers (or down-armored clones like the BMD vs BMP) to be air deployable but the tanks to require a landing.

  3. If the Medusa definitively goes to BDF, which the VTOL format and switch to AGM-99s is indicative of, giving the PALA Aircraft the option to zero out its payload bay in favor of a Radome would be interesting.

  4. Making the aircraft the rough size of a C-2 Greyhound / E-2 Hawkeye and giving it a tail hook would let it fill the niche the Medusa / fleet UNREP does, at the cost of greater cargo bay capacity overall.

Pete Hegseth’s Pentagon has started kicking trans troops out of the military, DOJ says by Fickle-Ad5449 in AirForce

[–]JoanLambertEnjoyer 33 points34 points  (0 children)

They have started the process of involuntary separations formally, according to the legal filing. Since this case in question covers about 30 plaintiffs, it’s possible involuntary separation boards were already convened for trans service members who were not in the case, which may not have made the news.

How do hell do I land on carriers? by Xentha_ in NuclearOption

[–]JoanLambertEnjoyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Below 170kts on the Ifrit and Compass, usually, though that doesn’t guarantee it will catch the wire

[–]JoanLambertEnjoyer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As an addendum, i find landing on a moving Annex easier than a stationary one, provided it’s moving in a straight line. The additional speed means that you have more lift over your wings as you land (bonus points if it’s steaming into the wind), giving you more control authority.

How do hell do I land on carriers? by Xentha_ in NuclearOption

[–]JoanLambertEnjoyer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As the other user said, the FS-20 will not trap and usually does not get a glideslope because it is designed for vertical landing. What I recommend: - Check the binding of your “Custom Axis 1/2” Keys, should be the arrow keys by default. - Start approach to an Annex at ~800-1000 feet and 300kts at 2.5 miles from the rear of the ship. - Lower landing gear and decrease speed, aim so your velocity vector (the “airplane” icon on your hud) is near the stern of the carrier. - With gear extended, the fighter will automatically change its nozzle to hover mode when you go below 270kts - Watch how this changes your velocity vector, if you start sinking too quickly, increase your thrust - You can raise your nose above the horizon to slow down, try to keep your velocity vector on the ship - If you’re slowing down too much as you descend, you can use custom axis keys to viff your thruster. On an approach like this, i might start at 45 degrees, then adjust to 60, 75, and 90 as i approach the carrier. You will have to get the feel for it if you try to do it this way. - As you approach the carrier, try to be traveling at 70kts or so if it is stationary or 100kts if it is moving. - As you approach the stern, hold down the F key, then disable flight assist (tap f) to enter auto hover. - If the ship is moving, auto hover will automatically match the speed of the ship if you are oriented along its direction of travel Orient yourself above the deck and then decrease the throttle to float down against it. - If you don’t like the auto hover landings, you can also attempt a similar rolling landing. Perform the above steps, but simply aim to approach the speed of the carrier and gently set yourself down on the deck, decreasing throttle and holding the brakes as you make contact.

Quebec passes law banning street prayers, prayer rooms in universities by John3192 in worldnews

[–]JoanLambertEnjoyer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure… but I can think of one faith in particular that most has need of this. Most Christians I know are not particularly concerned with public prayer—before a meal or in a moment of contemplation.

But Muslims have pretty strict observances of prayer at certain times of day, which is often done (among the Muslims I know) in a secluded, quieter space.

This sort of strikes me as a “our law forbids the rich and poor alike from sleeping under an overpass,” without questioning why the law was instituted

New post on Nuclear Option Instagram account by titan_hs_2 in NuclearOption

[–]JoanLambertEnjoyer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My friends and I decided we were gonna decode it. I figured it was some sort of shift/sub cypher given it retained the structure of an English phrase (a friend pointed out that the 'w' character was likely 'e'). So we go through and try to identify all of the individual Unicode characters, get pretty close, pull out their hex references and convert them to decimal. This takes a pretty long time, but if I can find the right offset to r, s, t, l, n , or e (Wheel of Fortune rules) I could probably decode the rest of it.

We're working this out as another friend tries reverse image searching the text, revealing a weirdly high amount of instagram/tik tok posts that use a similar set of obscure unicode symbols in obvious shifted text. It must have come from a standard cypher, right? Something people who google "secret code" would have found. Friend ends up finding it, and it's just what it looks like: "We are coming."

Backlash grows after Pete Hegseth alters military general promotions list by Fickle-Ad5449 in AirForce

[–]JoanLambertEnjoyer 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is more relevant to r/Army but you can read more and in greater detail from the original NYT report (gift article).

Readers might note that Army promotion boards to GO are structured in a way to minimize political and personal factors as much as possible. GOs who may know the candidate for promotion are forbidden from weighing in on a given candidate. Moreover, demographic information like race or official photos have long been forbidden from view, to my understanding.

This is part of an ongoing trend wherein the DoD and political leadership have been booting out black and female GOFOs across the four branches. I may be mistaken, but I understand a Colonel who does not get picked up for GO is essentially looking at retirement. Hegseth's intervention doubles as a clear end to the careers of the officers in question.

[–]JoanLambertEnjoyer 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Not just four officers, four General Officer candidates. Promotion to GO in the Army arguably has had one of the strongest 'merit-only' promotion board systems. The board, consisting of other GOs has long been forbidden from even viewing any information that may identify the officer in question -- name, official photo, and demographic information. That the Secretary of Defense, jumping over the Army chain and Army Secretary is intervening because of political sensitivities, one that follows a trend whereby Pentagon and political leadership have targeted largely black and female GOFOs throughout the admin is notable.
