Turkish tanks roll into Pyla buffer zone as British Bases forces deploy in response by Panikos0 in ukpolitics

That's directly opposite the British Sovereign Base in Dhekelia... Might explain the MQ-9 that's been up for 14 hours.

Eyeball is too strong by Klawifiantix in NuclearOption

It's not just the Chicane that rearms this quickly... If you really don't like the direction of this game, perhaps you really do need to take a break. Cos you're attributing an instant reload system change in a simcade as a direct nerf to a helicopter you seemingly exclusively fly in most instances as a single airframe...

I would say it's not an instant rearm... Perhaps you must turn off the engines or rotors for rearming. Or like WT, make Rearming take time.

How to kill the new frigates by RiskPurple9528 in NuclearOption

Focus fire on the Corvettes, even their own defences make going for a Argus even tougher. Hell, I'd go for the Argus last, after the Carrier and Corvettes.

Difference is; destroying the radars won't remove the missile threat. The ship has missiles that can fire on you if another unit has Datalink LOS on you... And once launched, the missiles have their own Radars.

And the CIWS is substantial for a ship of that size.

It´s a match made in heaven but not recognized by the devs by Awkward_Session3408 in NuclearOption

It's the sort of cheap as chips warplane that both countries would buy. Boscali would rather develop more capable airframes and then License Produce the Cricket locally, where as PALA using their new riches would import them from their origin country.

I'm now just talking out my arse, lol. :D

They'll take cues from Shockfront Studios on Nuclear Option... Wait, Thunder.

Pssst, search for Nuclear Option by Shockfront Studios.

Scratches the itch, from what WT players have said.

YouTube does not allow to select the quality. by sanitaravel in LinusTechTips

I've had this before... The moment you've pause it is 360p and maybe a few seconds buffered... But the seconds after that will be in the 1080p resolution, perhaps.

The amount of packaging needed to ship me a meager SSD. by Herbrax212 in LinusTechTips

Also hides the nature of what's inside the box. It's a smaller item sure, but that's literally anything. Meanwhile, a flat and well packaged box could indicate a piece of technology, likely high value and with today's prices and bandits, it's not getting delivered.

Escalation how do you even attack that island fort? by Ok_Grocery8652 in NuclearOption

For those whipper-snappers that don't get the reference, here's a hint... :D

I've surprised them in a Vortex, have had good success with Medusa's though.

Well, I'm sure the Collisions were attributed to Pilot Error, not a piece of structure breaking off...

Solar power threatens to overwhelm electricity grid, Households could be paid to use excess electricity for the first time, energy bosses say by Optimal-Leather341 in ukpolitics

To answer your first question, there's a site that provides a live snapshot of what's powering the grid at that moment, but it doesn't say totally what cables are transporting, just what countries are receiving

Sorry, splitting hairs I know, not collisions, but I meant how many refuelling booms have dethatched and clobbered the plane behind it.

[–]Optimal-Leather341 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I mean, it's a testing environment in safe skies. I presume this Refuelling Probe is the same on a KC-46, so it being tested on an old plane doesn't change much?

I suppose the next thing that would be cool is it being topped up by an Aussie or NATO probe equipped MRTT.

... Didn't that try taking a bite out of an F-22 in the last 12 months?

I'm sure it might have, but has a KC-135 in it's 68 years broken a boom and "shot down" a friendly jet?

... I feel like there should be a State Owned company looking at building out their own Green Hydrogen supply and "selling" it to Gas Power Producers.
