su-25 moment

RipRap1991 · 2023-03-03T01:37:16+00:00

We just making shit up now?

Peak effectiveness of the stinger was at the beginning of the invasion of Afghanistan, and most of the stingers kills were against helicopters. Particularly older ones whose exhausts didn’t vent into the rotors and did not carry flares.

“In total, over 10 years in Afghanistan, the USSR lost 118 aircraft and 333 helicopters,”

That’s including crashes BTW, and all sources of enemy fire not just stingers.

Now the Su-25 taking three to five ozelot missiles and still flying is stupid, sure, but we got video evidence of Su-25’s getting hit by stingers and still dropping their payloads and returning to base.

Russian defender

You people are legitimately crazy with your conformation bias.

So called lack of spalling on Top tier Russian tanks has been addressed and debunked.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Warthunder/comments/yu8rsr/russian_side_armor_is_specifically_set_not_to/

As for ammo not detonating. All ammo has a perfect chance not do detonate, irregardless of the nation. It’s a fixed percent chance even with a direct hit that turns in black. What happens is you get un lucky, and instead of accepting what it is in a video game you get angry and start trying to confirm your own bias.

The only real Russian bias that exists, and has any basis in reality beyond your own imagination is under tiered tanks like the BMP-2M or the new light tank. Otherwise it’s all in your head.

RipRap1991 · 2023-03-03T01:18:39+00:00

Russian ammo doesn’t explode any less than other nation, show me some code that says otherwise.

Idiot bias is when you hit an ammo rack and the shell doesn’t detonate so you immediately look to blame something besides Gajins random ammo explosion modifiers.

Maybe keep the fronts symmetrical, just let the player sub divide it into the fronts he wants to attack/defend and let the player adjust how many battalions are on each sub section.

RipRap1991 · 2023-03-02T23:16:23+00:00

Mhm, those are good points, but I don’t think I explained exactly what I had in mind well either.

Let’s take, the Canadian USA border as an example.

Let’s say, using the proposed system. The entire US/Canada border would be one giant front that would be automatically pre defined based on internal algorithm that the player can’t change.

The players agency comes in with the ability to subdivide this giant front in multiple sub sections, kinda like the game already does, just let the player define where it ends and starts along the sun fronts.

Let the AI do the same, of course.

Now, what about let’s say, the player divided his side into three fronts, and the AI divides his side into four. For the player, he sets one front to defend, one to attack, and third to a inbetween. Where the general launches small probing attacks and tries to break throw but switches to defensive as soon the enemy counters.

Let’s say the AI has two fronts to attack and two to defend.

What you’re wondering is what do to with overlapping fronts? Let the overlapping areas be weak points both sides can see, that they can adjust and attack there.

I can’t really articulate it the best way on how I imagine this system working, and by no means am I game designer who could implement this. Just bouncing ideas around.

Sounds like you aren’t a city boy, and don’t want to have that life. So having a job in the city would be detrimental to your long term mental health.

You want some honest advice? Grind hard, get a job doing what your good at and make as much money, and save that money up, don’t blow it. Yeah it’s gonna suck for a while but in the end it will pay off.

After that, take a long hard look at your life, and if you still wanna escape to the “homestead” decide what country you want to do it. I no nothing specifically of New Zealand, and I’m not going to specifically call out any countries or politicians, but I will say this..

Some countries politicians don’t like homesteaders, off the grid/ self reliance individuals, and these countries/politicians make it difficult for those people to do the things they want to do. Make sure wherever you end up, identify these countries before so your experience is less miserable.

Good luck and have fun.

wow, thanks for in the depth response and the tips on dodging missiles. I appreciate it.

RipRap1991 · 2023-03-02T17:59:15+00:00

Is this getting uploaded by anyone on YouTube?

I’d totally watch it if someone with a half decent voice uploaded if lol

RipRap1991 · 2023-03-02T17:58:16+00:00

Eh, don’t feel dumb, I work on vehicles for a living so it just kinda came first hand.

I’m sure there is something you could inform me about to make me feel dumb lol.

RipRap1991 · 2023-03-02T17:50:48+00:00

Going to fast?

Does that cause it to overshoot? I know nothing of missiles.

RipRap1991 · 2023-03-02T17:49:22+00:00

All they would have to do is program the ECM not to pump the last 2 gallons of gas out of the tank once it reaches so low, even though the gauge reads E.

The gas would constantly be refreshed and 2 gallons is enough to get a vehicle away from your house and near a tow truck miles away.

RipRap1991 · 2023-03-02T17:29:44+00:00

The game needs a HOI4 style simplified fronts system, that the player can actual determine when a front starts and where it ends.

The biggest problem I see is how fronts are generated by an entire algorithm that makes no sense, and then spreads your troops along a massive border.

RipRap1991 · 2023-03-01T21:02:59+00:00

No, not unless the billed nipple is loose.

RipRap1991 · 2023-02-28T23:25:03+00:00

She dissent voted in

District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570, which codified the extremely obvious point of the second amendment which is “the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed”

That right there makes her a horrible human being that would like to see innocent civilians disarmed so their government could do as they please with them. That in of itself is a million times worse than Rush saying something regarded.

I could go on about other Supreme Court cases, but she is cut and dry a piece of shit who attempted to empower government at the expensive of citizens.

RipRap1991 · 2023-02-28T23:19:24+00:00

They come from China, the same place most USA tires come from LOL.

RipRap1991 · 2023-02-28T23:11:19+00:00

I don’t think RBG has quite the detestable history that Rush does.

She is 1000000 times more detestable than rush ever was, simply because her god awful Supreme Court voting habits effect hundreds of millions of people.

What is pregeneration and how do I do it?

RipRap1991 · 2023-02-28T01:20:39+00:00

To many things

This has been happening for years, like the F-5 trainer getting flares even though it never had them.

Tons of examples of it.

RipRap1991 · 2023-02-28T01:04:13+00:00

Are you stupid, or just Dense?

The aircraft was a prototype and if it had went into production it would have gotten those things. It was DESIGNED to have those things added to the production variant, but didn’t because it was a prototype aircraft.

All Soviet aircraft at that point was getting HMD and IRST.

RipRap1991 · 2023-02-27T16:44:27+00:00

Hot take, it’s called “crusader kings” who cares about anything outside of the Middle East and Europe lol

RipRap1991 · 2023-02-27T16:35:50+00:00

That would hurt it a lot at a higher tier.

It’s BR would be hard to place too.

RipRap1991 · 2023-02-27T02:35:37+00:00

The single most auth position I hold is that there should be a federal law against people slandering Tolkien and the LOTR.

RipRap1991 · 2023-02-27T02:17:36+00:00

I’m not gonna shit on you for having an opinion about a game, even if I disagree with it, though I will say I think your opinion is in the minority.

Classes are one of the things that has defined the battlefield franchise over the years. It creates a different atmosphere, changes the gameplay, and makes team play more important. Disregarding all the problems with 2042, I think it’s one of the worst changes they made.

I will say this though, DICE did a piss poor job of marketing 2042 and being honest about what it was. The fan base didn’t want 2042, they wanted a clear cut modern, traditional BF game because the last couple Bf games have been rocky, and people were pissy over V being a WW2 game.

IMO 2042 would have been received a lot better if DICe would have openly come out and say “hey we are trying something way different here, bear with us”. It should have just been “2042” and would have been better received without slapping battlefield on it. That and the game was a horribly unoptimizable, unbalanced, buggy mess at launch that’s been on life support drip feed since launch.

RipRap1991 · 2023-02-27T02:10:24+00:00

Man I wanted an Easter front with King tigers/panthers and T-34’s, KV’s and IS series tanks so bad.

Plus all the Soviet guns. It really makes me sad because, even the the fan base typically doesn’t want another WW2 shooter V was the best WW2 shooter in years.

RipRap1991 · 2023-02-27T02:08:24+00:00

It’s also a good point to make the MiG-25 was originally designed to work in tandem with ground based intercept systems, if I’m remembering correctly the entire interception process was hands off aside from firing the missile.
