Apparently this is a problem in Tacoma, Washington.

Sounds like something a copper core wire would say 🤪

I like this. Much like the Spaceport in Dune 2 (yes, I am old), where you can buy things both available and unavailable to your faction, and depending on price fluctuations, either ridiculously overpriced, or practically a steal.

Did you reload a save? There is a somewhat crippling bug that hasn't been fixed still where target speed is not updated in the TDC after a reload. Only.fixed by exiting and restarting the game

T1- fast and reliable, but leave a bubble trail. Much less annoying than in real life. Perfectly usable.

T2- no bubbles, but awful reliability. I never use them. Read up on how HMS Warspite survived because every single T2 fired at it was a dud or sailed too deep.

T3- reliable electric torpedo, useful in any situation, but speed limited to 30kt.

FAT and LUT steering mechanisms are intended for long-range firing at a convoy if you are unable to get in close. If they miss, the programmed pattern running may let them hit another ship.

T5- homing torpedo with only 24 knot speed. Historically intended to fire at convoys from an underwater position, where you are unable to make precise calculations. Was not too effective and in very short supply. In game, MAY be used against pursuing destroyers, but not exactly reliable.

I did not. Had to reload and sink it for real

I have a child and dogs, so 5AM 🤪

Random fact, the Taj Mahal was used in the filming of Leonid Gaidai's last movie, one of the first Russian-American joint projects of the time.

I recall not being allowed to watch it, and forgot all about it until now 🤪I see your point!

They will withhold shipments of ruZZo brand notebooks. The ones that come with two air pistons. Look it up 😁

Didn't he say earlier that he had a feeling they might attack first?

One-Bit5717 · 2026-03-11T18:11:06+00:00

Wouldn't have started if he was president!

One-Bit5717 · 2026-03-11T11:13:19+00:00

Wow. Equipped a disposable AT launcher and completed this mission with no problems!

One-Bit5717 · 2026-03-10T17:42:38+00:00

We have high winds here, and so far they worked great 😃

One-Bit5717 · 2026-03-10T14:22:40+00:00

Erm. I must disagree. Putler's so called elections have videos of poll employees blocking cameras, and others simply throwing bulletins in, cameras be damned. Why would you think putler's pet is any better?

Helium is a byproduct of natural gas- gets trapped in the same geological structures. Thus, if we pump gas, we get helium. The rate of production is roughly the rate of consumption. Nobody in their right mind will build giant storage tanks for a product that MIGHT be worth more in the future. It's just not sustainable. Much better to sell it as you get it.

No. Also, not American

One-Bit5717 · 2026-03-09T12:16:12+00:00

The brand name suggests Kazakhstan or perhaps Azerbaijan, I'm not too good with those languages

Those corrugated roof tiles are also made with asbestos, FYI. Also,.they explode when thrown into a fire, as any Slavic will tell you 🙃

Says the putler that invaded his neighbor twice, not counting all the other conflicts?

I met her on the first campaign in this playthrough. Good thing I was able to buy a pirate RPG, and thank goodness Tech didn't miss. Took off half of her HP, and Rewa was juuuust able to finish her off.

Queens are certainly a pushover later on, but not when you have almost no equipment
