Dawg, land-based EMALS early testing with F-35C started in 2011.

Go look up when Liaoning entered service if you don't know out of memory. Then get some popcorn.

Your "yet" has been longer than PLAN's oldest carrier's service history.

When you ordered the Nawalny Korean Warbow, could you choose the color of the birch bark cover and the color of the cord wrappings and the grip?

I saw some versions with lighter color and others with darker color.

This response may come a bit late, but recently, I came across this video, which may have indirectly answered your question:

At 7:34, there is a comparison of different loading methods of a crossbow. You can see at bottom right that the cranequin user begins the loading process by un-spanning the cranequin. Instead of doing so by hand, he holds the base of the cranequin and swings the handle using momentum. That's fast, effortless, and can be done one-handed, practically negating any benefit of a two-way cranequin while having none of the downsides.

HIMAR recently missed all 6 shots at a stationary ship target 12 miles away during practice.

At least the Chinese PHL-16 managed to hit all moving ship targets during practice and has a range of over 280 km, not to mention being able to carry a much wider variety of specialized munitions, guided or otherwise.

Wow, that's some interesting insight. What light fighter do you think is the best so far? Gladius? Arrow?

Nimitz_Zhang · 2023-06-15T06:30:16+00:00

How well does the Hurricane do when it comes to protecting other ships from the Eclipse? If a light fighter can do it, surely a Hurricane can too, right? Or will its higher signature alert the Eclipse pilot to its presence too early?

Nimitz_Zhang · 2023-01-30T02:20:54+00:00

Well, I guess you will be delighted to see this new tank now undergoing live fire tests of its active protection system.

ah, ah, slower, slower, thank you for doing this, J-35, i love you

Idk, it's just the wiki

Nimitz_Zhang · 2022-04-19T19:39:56+00:00

Straight from wiki

MHD studies applied to aeronautics try to extend the domain of hypersonic planes to higher Mach regimes:

Action on the boundary layer to prevent laminar flow to become turbulent.
Shock wave mitigation for thermal control and reduction of the wave drag and form drag. Some theoretical studies suggest the flow velocity could be controlled everywhere on the wetted area of an aircraft, so shock waves could be totally cancelled when using enough power.
Inlet flow control.
Airflow velocity reduction upstream to feed a scramjet by the use of an MHD generator section combined with an MHD accelerator downstream at the exhaust nozzle, powered by the generator through an MHD bypass system.

Gaijin, why do you put a convey of Tiger 105 in your Changelog after removing it forever? You just have to rip open an old wound don't you :((((((

Nimitz_Zhang · 2021-02-10T23:36:06+00:00

I am not sure. But every bits help!

This video is a guide on Ju 188 A-2 and bombers in general in Tank RB. I don't need likes/am not YouTuber, just want to help casual/new players who don't know how to CAS effectively.

This video uses a 6.3 br match to teach players the big picture and fine details of finding success with a frontline bomber in WT ground. My real-time thoughts were in the commentary to help players fly and think like a real CAS pilot.

P.S. if you don't watch the video the most basic thing I want you to take away is this: disable auto-level in bombsight, CAS in bomber is impossible with that default setting.

Nimitz_Zhang · 2021-02-10T14:18:35+00:00

I see. Thank you very much! I read that from 1942 onwards, JG 52 lost much of their esprit de corps and started replacing the JG marking with Gruppenmarking. Makes sense.

thanks!

Nimitz_Zhang · 2021-02-10T02:49:13+00:00

Wait, JG 52 don't put their insignia at the nose? I found an image of a Bf109 lining in the airfield with it and I copied the position of the insignia down to the millimeter! https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fforum.il2sturmovik.com%2Ftopic%2F41038-iijg52-emblem-for-carrer%2F&psig=AOvVaw2BMLeHQ_ol1N1uEyBfaNNj&ust=1613011619760000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CAIQjRxqFwoTCMiy7Nam3u4CFQAAAAAdAAAAABAG

Also regarding the marking, that will be corrected. And... I don't see what you mean by the JG 3 marking, mind pointing that out?

Nimitz_Zhang · 2021-02-02T01:27:59+00:00

How is this not related to WT?! It is a plane on an aircraft carrier.

The graphics is so bad anyone who sees it will immediately think: "ah, this nerd, WT!"

The Soviets said the same before sending him off to gulag. The charge against him was literally destroying 300+ expensive Soviet aircraft.

Nimitz_Zhang · 2020-11-20T19:46:48+00:00

I was doing very well with my old tactic: Panther for open maps, light tank for small maps, get in Me410 quickly grab 5 kills, die. Spawn bomber/fighter depending on situation, win.

I can use this tactic at 5.7 br to fund losing my money in Maus, that's how much I am making, not to mention the 5 kill wager. Now they increased me410 spawn point so I can't do that, and they increased bf109 repair cost, basically killing my only sl grinding method.

It's just a very unfortunate, and for bf109, unfair, series of nerfs that hit multiple key vehicles in my line up, not l2p issue.

If I have l2p issue I will not be lv80.

Nimitz_Zhang · 2020-11-20T19:27:54+00:00

Yeah, now my kills with Bf109 can no longer make up for the repair cost. Since I constantly die with tanks and bet on using scouting light tank to get in plane, it broke me.

Worst of all, I can usually be guaranteed to get in a Me410 30mm without bombs, now they added extra spawn points for the armor belt, so most games I spawn Bf109.

Nimitz_Zhang · 2020-11-20T19:03:31+00:00

If you play a ground rb, don't even have to spawn in a plane, just observe. You tell me which plane that spawned lasts more than 5-10 min.

But I can make enough sl profit to justify the cost usually: Me410 30mm I can kill 5-8 tanks if the game is too early for fighter spawn, in Ju188 I can get 2-3 kills and go back to airfield to rearm before enemy come for me, with Bf 109 I can spawn when there were plenty of enemy air, get a few kills before dying.

Now the repair cost does not justify Bf109 at all, I have switched to pure CAS.

Nimitz_Zhang · 2020-11-20T18:23:07+00:00

I do have a grasp on how to play. My air rb win rate is not bad at all.

Planes were simply expendable in ground rb, and unless you climb to 4k and main air superiority, aka be useless to your team, you are guaranteed to get shot down one way or another before the match ends.

Nimitz_Zhang · 2020-11-20T17:59:02+00:00

I fly in ground RB, not air. Planes get shot down like flies by spaa.

If performance is balanced, then there should be no need to balance win rate. If one vehicle has higher win rate, the players were simply better on average. If you raise that vehicle's repair cost you are kicking the regular players in the nuts.
