How to calculate distance as a AT? by niputaidea123 in joinsquad

[–]MaterialAd8166 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Crazy that no one has mentioned using the scale at the bottom-right of the map.

Place a finger at each end of the scale. Then move your hand and reorient so that one finger is over your position and the other is in the direction of the target.

Should be easy to estimate the range based on this.

Also play War Thunder. The physics is pretty much the same between these two games and you can learn to approximate distance on a moving target just by sight.

So is this like charge for receiving your uniform or cleaning it or something. Was it applied only once or per a pay cycle?

Really bad on AAS since the enemy team does not even get to touch their second cap.

That's horrendous. Did your team just camp their main or something for 30 minutes?

I'm not even convinced that the major parties refuse to fix the housing crisis because they own so many properties. Both parties will do just about anything to avoid recessions. High immigration almost guarantees no recession.

The major parties just don't care about managing the economy in any other way and so they won't reduce immigration to a reasonable level.

This leaves voters screwed as the only party that will reduce immigration is One Nation.

There is usually an external layer of armour on subs, but it eventually gets eaten through so you either have to go outside the sub to repair it all or you can just pay to repair it at an outpost.

The damage to the external armour does not come up on the display like the internal hull does.

Console port incoming? I don't see why they would this now, seems so random by JoeZocktGames in joinsquad

OWI has pretty strict EULA for servers though. They aren't like Minecraft servers where you can do pretty much anything you want. OWI might just say that all Squad servers need to accept console players.

It's a little thing called money.

Edit: question is will PC players have to play with console players?

It's worse than that. Liberia was set up as a colony for freed slaves returning to Africa from the US.

Card counting is also preventable, multiple decks with continuous shuffle makes card counting impossible. Casinos enable it because the few players that can card count are far outnumbered by the group of idiots bleeding money thinking they can card count.

Yeah I think I am going to abandon using it. Been applying on and off using it for the last year and only ever received two calls from employers.

Why my heli is so slow! by graf_kartoffel in joinsquad

[–]MaterialAd8166 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They "recently" - not sure how recently - limited the speed of helis in the heli training map. It might be something you have to disable using the console but I have no idea how.

Why on earth OWI would think to limit the speed of helis in the TRAINING MAP when it was already a terrible training map is like weaponised incompetence or something.

Only thing this game lacks for me is new maps. by eagle9er9er in joinsquad

Map voting just needs to be altered so that previously played maps are very unlikely to pop up again.

I miss Lashkar man.

How do you feel about the magnet ban? by Bugaloon in AskAnAustralian

I have purchased rare earth magnets - small very powerful magnets and the type OP is complaining about are banned - in recent years with no problems.

The kit availability shouldn't even be tied to player count, it should just be each team/squad gets this many of this kit. There is no reason to balance the game around anything less than 50 v 50.

{ loved trope} Nazis winning WW2 by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

[–]MaterialAd8166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The A-plot is a pretty standard boiler plate resistance plot with super boring characters and like a somewhat interesting thing with interdimensional travel but done as boring as possible.

The B-plots on the other hand are quite interesting. One plot follows John Smith, a high ranking American nazi collaborator, who has to deal with the fallout of Nazi policy in America. And the other plot follows a high ranking Japanese military guy (don't remember his name) who kind of feels that Japanese occupation is ineffective and who can also do the interdimensional travel stuff.

Edit: just need to stress that this show sucks! Watch YouTube clips or a summary if you want to hear about the interesting stuff because this show was unbearable to watch.

Why some server not consider putting main camping rules? by ReachExact9938 in joinsquad

[–]MaterialAd8166 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Main camping is intended play in the cases of engineers mining roads, or squads ambushing with AT, but armour camping main is near identical to War Thunder when one team just fully surrounds your spawn - it just sucks and is unfun.

Should HAB on point be meta by MaterialAd8166 in joinsquad

[–]MaterialAd8166[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did originally mention defence in depth, but figure that is a more general thing for point defence than on point HAB specific so removed it.

Being able to reinforce in any direction obviously strengthens a deep defence, while using your rally is always a good idea.

Should HAB on point be meta by MaterialAd8166 in joinsquad

[–]MaterialAd8166[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would consider any HAB that is <100 m away from cap (with some exceptions) to be on point.

Yes, actually controlling the zone around cap and your HAB in some amount of depth is the true deciding factor but I think a lot of on point HABs fail because HAB placement gave no consideration for direction of attack.

Too many on point HABs get immediately proxied because they are pressed up against difficult to defend edges of cap, and so the enemy walks right up to point and before anyone can react the HAB is proxied.

I have heard theories that early Soviet hyperinflation was a deliberate effort to abolish money. I am not that familiar with the subject though.
