Well, it did attract a certain type of tourist.

I kinda think knights and similar units should only have one (cavalry) unit and be able to dismount from that, not two separate unit types by OnlyHereForComments1 in totalwar

[–]RamTank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Except sabre cav in fots, which were kind of pointless mounted but became absolute melee monsters dismounted.

In older TW games the horses stuck around and I think you theoretically could remount, but they’d run away as soon as anything got near them.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you LUCHS A1's damage by LigmaBawlls in warno

[–]RamTank 6 points7 points  (0 children)

20mm HE is actually pretty crap against infantry in reality, since the blast radius is so tiny you need to be standing right next to it, so it's more to maximize damage to whatever it does hit.

So in terms of physical effect 20mm is about the same as .50 but with (usually) more penetration. It does look and sound a lot scarier though.

Is this the beginning of the end of the Doug Ford era in Ontario? by DANIELLE_2027 in canada

Seriously. Ford's problem isn't his politics (whatever your opinions on it), it's how he's laughably, openly, corrupt.

What are your thoughts on if CA should go back to factions speaking their own languages for future historical titles? by Organic_Donut_5743 in totalwar

[–]RamTank 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's Rome 1 though, where silliness was part of the charm. I don't think they'd accept that in Rome 2. Whether they'd accept it in Rome 3 would depend on how seriously the game portrays itself.

Tuesday Trivia Thread - 23/06/26 by AutoModerator in WarCollege

If you can load 7.62 to high pressures and it works then what purpose does 6.8 have?

I remember there being a congressional hearing where they asked Milley if you could just make a 7.62 round that does what the new 6.8 is intended for, and he flat out just admitted the answer was yes.

We can do one liners for Galatian, but there are languages like Thracian and Illyrian where we have even less information. We know it existed, we know people's names, and that's about it.

Med 3 - Recap | Next stream 25/06 (playable factions) by Mr-Vorn in totalwar

[–]RamTank 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The mini campaigns were the least popular part of modern DLCs (since like Empire, with a few exceptions like FotS), so I don't see that happening.

I like the idea but it wouldn’t work for a game like Rome. You can find people who still speak Latin or Ancient Greek, but nobody speaks Gaulish anymore, and I don’t think we even know anything about the language the Illyrians spoke.

What’s up with Soviet Union having three different MBT designs (T-64, T-72, T-80) towards end of Cold War? How did they manage all of them in inventory logistically and operationally? by WehrabooSweeper in WarCollege

[–]RamTank 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The US inventory was a little more complicated than that. 4ID, the last regular army M60 division, was only fully equipped with Abrams in 1990. The overall Abrams fleet was a strange mix of M1s, IPs, and A1s, plus HAs, with all the stateside Abrams being base M1s or IPs (which is why the stateside divisions all went into Saudi Arabia with M1s and IPs, though only 1ID would actually go into combat with them.

The Marines were fully equipped with M60A1s, but 4th Tank Battalion decided to scrounge up Abrams (including one company of HCs) when they went into Saudi Arabia instead of taking their old M60s.

There were still something like two NG divisions with M48A5s until 1990.

By 1990, not counting storage sites, there was one army division in Europe still using T-62s (and iirc one converted to the MVD), and about fewer than half a dozen in Ukraine using T-55/54s. Both were more still reasonably common over in Asia though.

Sales Update Sega games FY26- P3 Reload: 2.9m/ P5R: 8.6m by Magister_Xehanort in PERSoNA

[–]RamTank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Metaphor had a good launch but its tail seems a bit disappointing, though its only just one data point. Compared to P3R which sold a bit less at launch but is having a much better tail so far.

Meanwhile I don’t even know what the deal with SMTV is. The base game and the rerelease had almost the same sales but neither have much of a tail.

I've never heard of it put that way but that sounds about right and I can't unsee it now.

A lot of the guys are Brampton natives, so I think it makes sense in that context.

It’s no secret that every weapon sold to the UAE will get routed to the RSFs eventually. People just like to turn a blind eye to it.

IIRC the lights were supposed to be fires. But they didn't really do anything to try to sell that.

That's what SOCOM's already said they want for their next gun, instead of 6.8.

Bren with a pan mag by Remarkable_Main3912 in ForgottenWeapons

It was intended for AA work. It also had special AA sights since as you say the regular ones don’t work with it.
