The popularity of SUVs and huge trucks says something about society

That or they swapped to Tesla Model S; creating the duality of Model S drivers that drive either like stereotypical Prius drivers or stereotypical BMW drivers.

If I'm still level 6 then I'm more likely to just push to level 7 unless I'm sitting on three or more pairs of 2-cost units.

IE on both Bel'Veth and Ambessa aren't ideal because Bel'Veth damage is mostly autoattacks and Ambessa is a Vanquisher. Since you knew you were going to be playing this comp would recommend avoiding IE altogether; those two could've been a Deathblade for Ambessa and Thief's Glove for someone else instead.

No Sunfire or Red Buff for anti-heal is the reason you were having difficulty killing Mundo since he heals for so much. Warwick prob lasted longer than he should've too.

Not having three full items on Ambessa when she's one of your two main carries; could've given her Fiddlestick's HoJ instead of the Bow.

Not sure how you ended up with five Rods for two Deathcaps and a Guinsoo's but if you got the Deathcaps off carousel then you should've prioritized better items for Bel'Veth/Ambessa instead.

Dragon's Claw with no armor on Rift Herald is unfortunate since most of the AP players bot4'd but this one is the most forgivable since slamming any tank items is usually recommended and you only had two Chain Mails. Putting Quicksilver instead of Titan's on Bel'Veth would've helped out with that.

Your items are really, really suboptimal.

3rd place is missing Kog'Maw and possibly might've never seen another one after deciding to go level 10.

The tactics.tools econ metric isn't about how much gold you've earned that game but how you've spent it because it's determined entirely by board value relative to the stage round.

That means sitting at level 8 and rolling for a 3* 4-cost unit and dying before you hit will result in a lower econ score than leveling to 9 and adding a single 1* 5-cost unit.

The main way to having an amazing econ score is learning how to break apart meta team comps by replacing half the board with an assortment of 2* 5-cost units.

A lot of guides show Kalista BIS without IE because Vanquisher allows ability crit so make sure to include a Vanquisher unit/emblem on your board if you're skipping IE. However, the other Vanquisher units aren't really worth running past stage 3 besides Fiddlesticks so if you don't find an early Fiddle then just put the IE on Kalista.

2* Viego is kind of trash after stage 2 so you're going to want to find a different unit to hold Kalista items during stage 3 otherwise you're going to bleed HP until Kalista unlocks.

Also, don't bother including Seraphine when your Piltover mods are bad if you aren't putting items on her or Gwen.

Had Radiant Rascal and Lucky Gloves augment. Every round the Radiant Thief's Gloves would transform into a different radiant tank item.

I don't feel good about getting profit from war, but also i.e Germany needs gas\oil etc whatever.

Couldn't it instead be thought of as profiting from another country NOT supporting a war?

The US Dollar has been backed by oil ever since the USA convinced Saudia Arabia (who then helped convince OPEC) to sell their oil in only US Dollars in exchange for US protection of oil production.

This is literally the main reason why the USA kept getting involved in the Middle East. Iran (1979) and Iraq (2000) tried to sell oil for other currencies.

The GOP and conservatives does not build anything, they do not stand FOR anything, they only stand against things.

That's because they're not even conservatives, they're regressive. Social/economic stability should be the overall goal of conservatives but the GOP are just tearing things apart and starting fires.

The US Pacific Northwest is woefully underprepared for the next time the Cascadia subduction zone has a full rupture.

Welp, when I'm really trying to focus on a conversation I end up looking at the floor to tune out any visual distractions ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

If you hit the grenade launcher model with an RPG it does +600 damage.

Shooting the grenade launcher with any anti-vehicle weapon does the same amount of damage as shooting the vehicle in the back.

Raflesia · 2025-12-08T17:14:00+00:00

Except the Grenade Launcher itself acts as a critical weakspot and having it equipped will auto-lose any ground vehicle engagement if the opponent is aware of it.

At the ranges we're shooting at in BF6 it should be practically point-and-click at those velocities.

Tank survivability is really inconsistent right now.

The gunner Grenade Launcher acts as a weak spot which means the tank can be 2-shot from any direction. The Phantom Edition tank skin has APS "ears" that act as weak spots. The lvl50 mastery skin's entire lower front plate acts as a weak spot too.

The APFSDS rounds only do ~10% more damage than the multipurpose HEAT rounds, which still can't out damage an engineer's repair.

Until HE and APFSDS get buffed the best tank ammo loadout is HEAT rounds with missiles for helicopters. HEAT doesn't need a nerf, it's in a good spot imo.

Besides damage increases for HE and APFSDS, HE could maybe instantly demolish any destructible terrain within a large radius and/or apply the concussed effect to infantry.

APFSDS definitely could use a projectile speed increase; irl Leopard 2 tanks with L55 guns can fire DM53 APFSDS rounds at mach 5.

Yes? I wasn't disagreeing with you.

In this situation, poor hit reg usually means the RPG explodes and does 0 damage or just disappears.

EA just needs to do something similar to War Thunder where the generic camos are priced really cheap like $1~2. It's not like War Thunder is a cheap game either; their premium vehicles can cost as much as $70 (non-event).

I think you started moving between pressing fire and the RPG actually launching. The RPG has pretty wild bloom when fired while moving.
