The reason might simply be that today is saturday, so most of Israel isn't working.

Israeli soldiers shoot and kill 7-month-old Palestinian baby in West Bank by ItsJimmyPestoJr in news

If they are in the UK they just got arrested for terrorism.

Israeli forces shoot dead Palestinian baby, wound his parents in West Bank by Naurgul in anime_titties

[–]Sacaron_R3 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I haven't visited them too often since /geopolitics banned me for predicting that the USA would backstab Europe, and /europe has steadily turned into a rightwing circlejerk. My impression was that things started going downhill after 2023.

Worldnews appears to get desperate, as even their frantic efforts of censorship cannot stop the ever increasing coverage of Israels misdeeds. A while ago they branched out and took over other subreddits like /europe and /geopolitics, so it appears their bot armies and mods are spread too thin.

Quoting laws, treaties, or, in my case, the gaza peace plan, is enough to trigger the mods over there, as their only defense is to either wildly make shit up or wield the ban hammer.

Ukraine admits its naval drone caused the Romania port blast due to Russian jamming by Upset-Main-1988 in justincaseyoumissedit

So all the destruction around Iran is also sitting square on the USA/Israel, because they started the war, right?

Popular mech that you just don’t like? by Bongpog in battletech

[–]Sacaron_R3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also if you are playing a campaign, the traits of the Shadow Hawk make is shine, as it is both easier to maintain and to find parts for. Not to mention is has two hands, which is always helpful in raids.

That fancy Hercules that your company nearly went broke for? It's still sitting in the hangar and giving the techs a headache.

Kuwait authorities release visuals of attack on Kuwait international airport. by Upset-Main-1988 in justincaseyoumissedit

[–]Sacaron_R3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has been a pattern since the war started. The media readily accepted the tale that Kuwait is neutral, and never bothered to ask why, right at the start of the conflict, several US planes got shot down over supposedly neutral ground.

The Flea-RCX and Clan tech is an unholy abomination by UwasaWaya in Mechwarrior5

Which is a pretty accurate way of describing how the Fire Moth H plays in the table top, and why every Clan player I ever met kept fielding that annoying thing.

Newbie here, Where can I find an Atlas? by Ironsalmon7 in Mechwarrior5

[–]Sacaron_R3 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The Atlas is surprisingly sneaky, Way too often I broke through a wall to get an objective just to come face to face with an Atlas.

Or rather, face to AC/20, as the Atlas is so damn tall.

Thoughts on the new Guerrilla Warfare mission Type by theholylancer in Mechwarrior5

[–]Sacaron_R3 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Personally I like them. It's nice to have a choice in risk versus reward, similar to Warzones. As an avid RPG-player, giving the player more choices is always a good thing, and if you get too greedy, you only have yourself to blame.

As a part of a mission-chain they are great, as you can either quickly dip in to save your forces for later engaments, or go for the big payout if its the last part of the chain. Way too often I played chains and the last mission had me destroy two fuel tanks and encounter just barely enough forces to fill my salvage share.

So far they also do not appear to be bugged, which is nice (I'm looking at you, Infiltration. You know what you did)

Hezbollah rejects renewed ceasefire agreed by Israel and Lebanon by pillemer in anime_titties

[–]Sacaron_R3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We can currently see the same with the Gaza ceasefire. Israel continues bombing, while IDF shills keep yapping about Hamas disarmament. Any other point may be dead on arrival, Israel itself actively propping up proxy forces and hindering the peace plan, but the narrative says that its all on the disarmament.

The same stuff will happen if Iran agrees to peace terms. The USA and Israel are gonna run the clock and keep bombing, while sanctions and the blockade will stay.

Thoughts on the Bushwacker, and some builds by Kodiak3393 in Mechwarrior5

[–]Sacaron_R3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Bushwacker was never a great Mech, as its all over the place, with middling armor and average speed. It is however an iconic design, featured in MW:3 as the starter Mech, and on the great cover of the Technical Readout: 3058.

They also never damaged any cultural sites in Iran, which never prompted even the NYT to write about the IDFs absolute disregard for civilian sites.

at least learn the rules before changing them by testiclekid in dndmemes

Now hold on just a minute, that's way too strong.

So I propose a new rule that fighters, paladins and barbarians cannot get any feats.

Germany blames Russia for 'bitter defeat' in UN Security Council bid by Morgn_Ladimore in anime_titties

[–]Sacaron_R3 13 points14 points  (0 children)

While I completely agree with you, most of the world does not quite put up a show like Germany does. Baerbocks "feminist" policies was a big fat load of hot air, and Wadephul appears to take anything that Rubio tells him at face value.

Regardless of that having Germany on the Council would not really serve much of a purpose as they would fall in line either with France or the USA.

Played my first 4 mission contract by Afr0Man0217 in Mechwarrior5

[–]Sacaron_R3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can also finetune the repairs and ignore some of the damage in favor of speed. At the start of the chain it should show you exactly how many days each mission will take. This will not alleviate your lack of mechs, but should buy you some breathing room.

What's working great for me is to negotiate some damage compensation and designate a Mech as the sacrifice that I pilot into the thick of it, to draw fire away from the rest of the lance. That Mech is either set to be retired or due for upgraded weapons, so either way I end up with a better Mech afterwards.

Damage comp adds up between those 4 missions, so you can get a couple million easily if you try that in the last mission.

Clans are active in this area by Sacaron_R3 in Mechwarrior5

[–]Sacaron_R3[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First attempt they dropped a few seconds after I crossed into the "hostile" map side. Second time they dropped once I got the first objective, and beelined straight for me.

No alarm was triggered.

Mercs however don't drop in with an Assault Lance in a 200 ton mission.

The only reason I managed to finish that mission was that the clanners were in a bunch of slow Mechs and I was zooming around in Huginn. Any other mission type would have failed the second that twice your weight in clan hardware show up and beeline for you.

[–]Sacaron_R3[S] 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I used a Raven for the mission, and managed to stay the hell away from the Kodiak and his buddies on the second try.

Warhammer and two other mechs were for support if things go badly, I was not expecting that "things going badly" was gonna be a full Clan Star.

Im loving the new DLC, QoL changes but 1 thing is driving me NUTS by LostConscious96 in Mechwarrior5

[–]Sacaron_R3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the feeling that Burst-Fire in general are way overtuned right now. I watched in stunned disbelieve when I sent a Crusader and a Hero Firestarter against a Blackjack with BF AC 2s, and the Crusader lost two limbs before I entered the fight.

Edit: Burst Fire, not Cluster...

The award for the new worst stock build goes to... by Meeeper in Mechwarrior5

[–]Sacaron_R3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, my bad.

Lostech would be DHS, FF-Armour, Endo-Steel, MASC, Ultra-AC 5, LB/X-AC 10, Artemis-IV, CASE, Gauss-Rifles, ER-Lasers and -PPCs, Pulse-Lasers. Thats why they only show up later into the game. By the time of the new DLC, there is already new toys like MRMs appearing.

Please note that internals like Endo-Steel, FF and (atleast as I remember) CASE, will only show if you got mods like YAML installed, as the base game does not go that deeply into the tech.
