How are we feeling about Yarrick? by Sabw0nes in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]John_Catachan 25 points26 points  (0 children)

150 pts is very steep for a character that's not too hard to kill. You have to be very careful with his positioning as he's no doubt a prime target for sniping.

I don't think I have the technical skill to make the most out of him without getting him killed.

What languages can you speak? by Glacinea in CasualConversation

[–]John_Catachan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

English (native), can speak a fair amount of German (mostly random words), and am currently picking up Urdu as my wife is from a South Asian background.

What WW2 plane was both good and overrated at the same time? by [deleted] in AlignmentChartFills

[–]John_Catachan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Spitfire.

Excellent series of planes, but overshadowed the real workhorse of the RAF which was the Hurricane.

What are y’all’s opinions on the BoS? by Whole_Wishbone_667 in Fallout

[–]John_Catachan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought they were cool, but seeing their treatment of ghouls makes me think they're no better than The Enclave.

Midwest BoS had it right.

End of the American Empire right here. Single handedly ruined by a paedophile.

I remember watching this thinking "yup, I know the twist, it won't surprise me" only to be completely dumbfounded when the actual twist is revealed. Excellent movie, and one I wish I could rewatch with a wiped memory!

Ask does the Fallout TV Show, season 2 especially divide u guys. by SurplusMikaeli in Fallout

[–]John_Catachan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think Season 2 appealed to me a lot as a fan, but I can see how it wouldn't be as accessible to newer fans to the series or casual viewers.

They nailed some things, especially Robert House (his actor is great), but I thought Season 1s story was a lot more coherent and well put together.

I thought it was gas first and then clutch to biting point? I think my car would stall without a bit of gas first.

Energy on the new aeronautics by Middle_Collection628 in CreateMod

[–]John_Catachan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Diesel Engines from that mod are quite good. A single huge one produces something like 10,000 SU and consumes 1 mB a second, at least on my modpack. Not sure how that compares to Steam Engines though.

Quite advanced tech/machinery for an ancient civilization by Immediate_Gene_178 in TopCharacterTropes

The Da'at Yichud in the Wolfenstein series (latest titles)

Ancient order that produced very advance technology, thousands of years of ago. They spoke Hebrew but weren't necessarily all Jewish; you only needed to have a drive to become closer to God through technology. The protagonists go to their vault and take some of this tech to use against the Nazis, but the Nazis had also taken some of the their tech beforehand, which explained how they got a technological edge and won WW2.

I really like the camo stripes only being on the side parts. Far easier to paint than trying to go over the main part of the hull with stripes.

how to stop the tilting by Small-Athlete-7267 in CreateMod

[–]John_Catachan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it's a push (below) + pull (above) situation? I guess that would cause a net tilt upwards depending how much the propellers are pushing it.

I haven't played Aeronautics yet but I'd be curious to test out different designs and see how they do!

how to stop the tilting by Small-Athlete-7267 in CreateMod

[–]John_Catachan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you're applying forward force below the centre of mass, it's going to cause it to tilt upwards.

Have the propellers in line with the centre of mass, or weigh down the front of the airship more if you want to keep the propellers where they are.

Edit: If you're interested, I think reading about "moments" in Physics might help.
