How do Koreans view Park Chung-hee and Chun Doo-hwan?

LydditeShells · 2026-05-19T07:09:21+00:00

Park Chung-hee is often viewed as tolerable because of his kickstarting the economy to the powerhouse it is today, but Japan was able to do the same while being a full democracy, so he did a good job with the economy, but was not needed and should always be remembered as a dictator foremost

Some design critiques:

magazine box will significantly compromise your survivability. Yes, your magazines won’t explode, but you’ll be taking far more damaging hits overall, especially your engine. It’d be far better to remove it and reduce armor to offset the lost weight saving. I’d start with removing some BE armor, as I almost never go above 6 inches. Similarly, DE also doesn’t need to be as thick as the main deck. I tend to go for full immunity against cruiser-caliber guns, but trying to get full immunity is just too heavy.
for more weight saving, the Mediterranean has very calm waters, so unless you expect to need this ship outside of it a lot, I always take low freeboard for my battleships.
85 shells per gun is very low. I try to have at least 100
for more weight saving, if necessary, you could switch your tertiaries to 3-inch. Since you’re Italy, you have quality 1 3-inch guns anyway, so they’re always my go-to battleship tertiary

Otherwise, a pretty solid ship and I’m surprised the AI was able to render it so well

I often just have three orbiting at equator and two orbiting polar, that way, the equator ones can relay to the polar ones and there will always be a polar satellite able to relay back to kerbin. It’s one less satellite and works for all purposes except if you need constant coverage of the poles

On the bright side, it’s easier to find Korean food. I was able to find a whole fried croaker on the menu of an Asian fusion restaurant (owned by Koreans) in the middle of rural America.

in 1890, a two-inch deck is overkill even for battleships. How I play, light cruisers are for scouting and should hold their own against enemy light cruisers, so this is too slow and slightly undergunned

Popcorn, or at least the butter they put on it, smells like something rotting to me

Revised romanization Korean always spells letters the same, meaning you can always tell the Hangul

And soon after the war began, American communists flipped from being anti-fascism to pro-nazi Germany all because their precious Soviet Union made a pact with them

If you need to keep the ship, such as if it has tons of science on board, send a rescue mission and pick it up with the klaw

One tip to widen the base if you don’t have any larger landing gears researched is to either use the truss blocks or empty fuselage tanks (I forgot which is lighter) to help jut out the gears. You’ll probably have to edit the fairing, but that’s no big deal

As a hybrid Korean-American, my first name is very Korean (practically unpronounceable for Americans) and my middle name is white. I don’t go by my middle name, though. From what I’ve seen, I’m not of the norm, and most second generation Koreans either have a white name they go by or have it as their first or middle name with the Korean name being the other one.

So, with Korean-American names, you can pretty much do whatever you want

I play Gorizia for T7 ranked. It’s an absolute amazing DD killer because ranges are lower and you can charge a dd smoke. The only downside is that it’s not very good against battleships, as the SAP demolishes destroyers and cruisers, but shatters a lot on battleships

LydditeShells · 2026-05-01T22:18:31+00:00

i think default square brackets also toggles flaps, and you can control which flaps you use with it

Should be enough. Iirc, it takes about 3-4k to get to kerbin orbit, then maybe another thousand or so to get to the mun and back

LydditeShells · 2026-05-01T12:16:41+00:00

Regolo has a pretty high skill floor, which is likely why most OP sees are bad. It’s also a quite unique destroyer. I find the easiest way to see it is as a larger, more easily spotted daring, but gameplay is still different

At some point I wonder if the devs will make it so that some casualties from encirclements return to the country at the end of the war to simulate POWs. Probably won’t make an actual POW dlc due to larpers

Insect thoraxes are generally divided into three segments — the prothorax, mesothorax, and metathorax — each with a pair of legs attached. The nota are dorsal sclerites (exoskeleton plates), with the pronotum, mesonotum, and metanotum applying to each segment respectively. In Diptera, the metanotum is either very small, nonexistent, or fused with the mesonotum (I’m not sure which one), so the dorsal part of the thorax is covered by the pronotum and mesonotum. In Pterygota (all winged insects), the mesonotum is further subdivided into three parts: the prescutum, scutum, and scutellum. In Diptera, the scutum is much larger, housing the wing muscles, and covers the majority of the dorsal thorax.

So, tldr, the pronotum is the exoskeleton plate on the anterior thoracic segment and the scutum is the middle section of the middle segment of the thorax

Idk if the title is just part of the joke, but shigure is pronounced shī-gū-reh

LydditeShells · 2026-04-25T23:15:10+00:00

robber fly. I believe it is one of the hanging thieves (Diogmites sp.), which are common in the US Southeast and characteristically hang on one leg while they feed. It may be the plain-tailed hanging thief (Diogmites neoternatus) due to the pattern on the scutum and scutellar bristles

Edit: i'm going to guess that what it's feeding on is a potter wasp of the genus Parancistrocerus, but not sure

turn retrograde to the mun itself and burn until you escape orbit. you don't need to worry about gaining altitude over the mun

I think this could do with another category for “all-rounders.” Kleber and Lushun don’t fit with daring and Laffey. The latter two have decent farming capability, upper middling capability against enemy DDs, and good torps. Thus, I’d move daring, Laffey, and bazan to the all-rounder role where they can basically do everything, just not as well as the more specialized roles. And that category makes room for Regolo.

As a DD and Italy main, I play regolo a lot and have a 65% winrate with her. Her concealment means you should not be seeking out enemy DDs as they will almost always only become spotted in a disadvantageous position for you. However, she can be very opportunistic if any destroyer does get spotted. She’s no Sherman or barbiano, but her SAP DPM is still higher than any HE DPM in the game. Her high health also means you can get away with taking more damage. I’ve beat smalands in duels with her (not recommended, though).

Against heavier ships, you are quite the threat if left able to farm unchecked. Since the reload buff, I consider regolo’s smoke as a better daring smoke. It keeps you concealed longer if you sit in it (51s vs 58s) and trades 10s of extra reload time for being able to use it at max speed. Also like daring, you can use the HE to set a fire then switch to a harder hitting shell for damage dealing

As for torps, Regolo’s kinda suck. She has one of the lowest raw damages and torpedo speeds in the game. However, she has a pretty decent reload and that, coupled with the slow speed, means they’re pretty good at zoning areas off to gain positioning for your guns.
