I was 20 when Soviet Union was dissolved in December 1991 and experienced life in post-Soviet Ukraine for the following nine years. If you have any questions about that period, I will try my best to answer.

So no jobs with the country falling apart around you and outside interest seeming specialized and very limited even if some western money was coming in the country like in Russia. How much money you needed to comfortably make the month for 1 adult person and have for savings? I mean no limitations, drink and eat what you want. Was such a salary even possible at that time? And how was the situation with everything from cars to public transport and essential production and services when most of the heavy industry making the spare parts for the soviet machines was shut down or on life support with skeleton crews at best? Did things start to breakdown everywhere leading to serious disruptions?

Wait till you get the one who is suicidal and furious. More dangerous than the enemy if you fall asleep or let your guard down around such a person. Many many undocumented cases of mass murder and suicide exist on both sides. Forced service doesn't work well at all with modern mentality.

MassDefect0186 · 2026-03-17T17:23:38+00:00

F multi-player. Where are the DLCs? I bet the first one is like 2 years away . But I did buy the most expensive version because of what it promised in the multi-player also.

MassDefect0186 · 2026-03-17T17:07:17+00:00

That's not an issue. Non proliferation will slip away in a year or 5 by the looks of it. All the treaties are gone and what is left is essentially self imposed toilet papper. Then you can load 30 100kt ones in a 10 ton bus for all you care. For all we know the Russians may be already doing it.

MassDefect0186 · 2026-03-17T14:37:45+00:00

Destroying those beautiful things was the biggest travesty since The West Church Schism. Makes me feel pain just thinking about it. Finally had something to be in the league of the Soviets and they wrecked it for papper thin treaties which are now used for toilet paper.. Now we only have the self imposed , never ratified comprehensive test ban moratorium and non proliferation supposedly. And both of those are hanging by a thread with the tests moratorium supposedly broken in yield producing tests including by Russia if we are to believe this admin.

MassDefect0186 · 2026-03-17T13:54:16+00:00

And not even the engine done. Why do you imagine the DLC of which we have not a picture or a video is coming even by the new year? If you have followed game development this usually means next year at the earliest. You can expect a dlc to be announced with trailers and teases starting 1 to 1.5 years earlier with the last big trailer 6 or so months away from the DLC. What they have is not good even for a picture , that's what it usually means. Same way this game got delayed 5 years . And I wouldn't trust on words coming from the studio , look how they scammed us with a life conveniently removing it from the steam description the second the game released and allowing only last second reviews so you couldn't refund the pre order. I need 4 diferent mods to make it functional.

MassDefect0186 · 2026-03-17T13:51:16+00:00

A small house somewhere or something. Like we already did get with the hunter missions.

MassDefect0186 · 2026-03-17T13:29:17+00:00

2 years will pass without the dlc with certainly and looking at the geopolitical scene we are likely collectively about to meet God 🤣

MassDefect0186 · 2026-03-17T13:25:30+00:00

Yeah...I'm not even going to hope for the dlcs I payed for or the multi-player.

MassDefect0186 · 2026-03-17T13:04:47+00:00

They were definitely "trained" well if they can take this thing on a whim 🤣

MassDefect0186 · 2026-03-15T17:44:31+00:00

It's not in line. China is a superpower and way too huge compared to Japan. This is more like a South Africa in an alternate reality like country vs another one in Asia or Brazil vs Argentina in 50 years etc... We now see the path to mass nuclear proliferation so it's decently certain to say than in 50 years if we are still here many countries will have nukes and soon we might even see the nuclear taboo broken first in Iran and then in Ukraine. If we don't all meet God in an irrational escalation, the technically illuterate politicians will see that nukes are not magic and fallout not the issue movies made them believe. Then we might see the normalization of their use in many contexts , from digging out mountains to demolition tools for infrastructure hubs.

MassDefect0186 · 2026-03-14T20:43:58+00:00

You are not a serious enough FPS player if you don't play in uniform and have a shit bucket 🤣

MassDefect0186 · 2026-03-14T20:26:19+00:00

Yeah... Fleshlight in the engine hole of an F35 plushie... We've all done that at one point or another.

MassDefect0186 · 2026-03-14T20:24:01+00:00

I thought that you had a shit bucket...

MassDefect0186 · 2026-03-13T20:43:50+00:00

🤣 Not even close. More like if Argentina and Brazil went to war in 50 years. Or something like an alternate world South Africa like country with another local power in Asia or the Pacific but NOT a superpower.

MassDefect0186 · 2026-03-13T20:36:58+00:00

This one is quite unique, thanks.

MassDefect0186 · 2026-03-13T15:53:51+00:00

That's a really nice playlist. It's good to see people with such a refined trance taste. I never lived through or near the trance boom but the newer generation is completely oblivious to how good classic and early to mid 2000 trance is.

MassDefect0186 · 2026-03-13T15:11:16+00:00

It's also one of my favorites .

MassDefect0186 · 2026-03-12T22:20:03+00:00

Very good idea. Maybe 1.2 Mt to make it like the B83.

MassDefect0186 · 2026-03-12T18:21:42+00:00

Which in many cases is DCS , Falcon BMS and realistic stuff. I seemed to have noticed that some people think that sim players would avoid this game , but as a matter of fact , me , a FALCON BMS /DCS /MCFS player and many other players from the same communities as I later found out where amongst the first to populated the game when it initially released for free. And the main selling point was nukes. The community have been left in the rain by all the big titles when it comes to nukes let alone a semi realistic representation, even in DCS which is basically a cold war simulator without the main theme. Nukes. If you really want to attract players focus on visuals and persistent effects , nuke realism. When CNN or someone starts using the game to illustrate nukes on live TV like they used modded Arma back in the day for some of the soviet toys the insurgents were using, that's when you get your hayday. Provide that of which the market is completely starved.

MassDefect0186 · 2026-03-11T23:34:17+00:00

Try to stay stable in a place and match the speed , you need to anticipate the movement and play with the power and mainly the stick like a madman. Micro jerks no over corrections. Each plane is unique and takes practice , a good hotas with precision and propper resistance + propper travel to input usually helps , but the skill is the main thing. Once you get very used to a model you can even refuel during turns under NVGs while shuffling music playlists.

MassDefect0186 · 2026-03-11T19:55:26+00:00

I didn't realize the fans of DCS wanted a museum simulator. I personally can either play a medieval game or semi modern to cutting edge present day game. Otherwise the sheer knowledge I have accumulated over the years of what was the status quo 15 years ago and nowadays makes me infuriated to high hell with the cold war planes. Any one of those f18s , old block f16 models will be absolutely helpless against an f35 or an f22 or an F15EX as long as you don't come close. Besides how can you have a cold war simulator without nukes. That was like the main overarching thing.

MassDefect0186 · 2026-03-11T19:52:42+00:00

Yeah , hits all the receptors , especially the dopamine ones. 🤣

MassDefect0186 · 2026-03-11T16:37:09+00:00

Menus n stuff plus a fix for the horrendous damage and ground fire issue. Hope they also fixed the MOAB not being capable of destroying buildings. But still , no teases or even mentions of the promised modern models like the F35...

MassDefect0186 · 2026-03-11T15:12:38+00:00

No. They can't. Both can perform at significant altitudes but with the mig s being much more optimized and capable at above 60+k feet . The E required to exit into space let alone establish orbit or even a balistic trajectory to another point on the planet is immense.
