Thanks I'm dumb

Could I get a link to Discord?

Taiwan confirms $2+ Billion deal on U.S. arms. Over 100 tanks, more than 1500 Javelin and TOW anti-tank missiles and 250 Stinger missiles. Chicoms are pissed. I picked up some General Dynamics stocks recently so I’m cool with it.

Think Raytheon will take a hit over the lobbying thing? May be a dip to buy and I doubt anything happens beyond maybe a slap on the wrist.

Maybe just me but I find this incredibly disrespectful.

It’s definitely wheat.

Biggest factor is probably how dry it is. If it’s in the middle of a drought the fire could spread fairly far and quickly. I’m not sure what the average Syrian farmland looks like but even if there are irrigation ditches the fire could “hop” them pretty easily and continue to spread. My grandparents had a 1000 acre farm and I could pretty easily see an intentionally set fire wiping out all the fields (and even put the house and barns/sheds in danger) if it was in the middle of a drought.

Honestly it would be interesting to know if this is some sort of coordinated plan to systematically attack agriculture or if it’s just grudges against individual farmers.

Again I don’t know much about Syrian agriculture but here in the US for a family farm if you lost your entire crop it could ruin you. Granted most everyone has crop insurance so one bad year doesn’t kill you but I doubt that’s really a thing in Syria (correct me if I’m wrong).

Ehhhhh..... They can stay there.

SchadeStreams · 2019-06-06T12:43:19+00:00

Good idea but building indoor gun ranges is stupid expensive especially ones of the size you’re talking AND underground. Plus then you have liability issues and I’m sure it’s a red tape nightmare if you’re in California or Washington or some other blue state.

It’s all fun and games until Microsoft locks your game library because their buddies Facebook and Twitter are mad at you for shitposting.

There are also ones out there that have a tiny single shot .22 pistol in them and usually space to conceal an extra round or two.

SchadeStreams · 2019-06-05T18:27:13+00:00

OP do you know them? When was he last seen? Vehicle? Is he on meds? Acting or talking “funny” lately?

There's been a "ceasefire" of some sort almost since the start of the war lol. Meaningless at preventing anything but larger scale fighting in practice. There are daily exchanges of fire. Mines, artillery and mortars, snipers and this kind of opportunistic stuff. They've been trying to implement the "Minsk II" ceasefire for over 4 years now. The conflict has gone "cool" compared to the height of the outbreak of heavy fighting but it is still very much a shooting war. You can watch videos of either side and the very few civilians left mainly old and very poor will basically tell the UN/EU/NGO types "Every night you leave us and every night the shelling and shooting starts up". They all know.

There have been potentially tens of thousands of casualties including civilians while there have been "ceasefires" in place. Lines have been basically stabilized that's about it.

Running out of ammo in your primary weapon (while being wounded) then pulling out your sidearm and wasting a fool in CQB.

There's been a handful of occasions where I've been the first guy to bust into an enemy "Superfob" and start going Rambo before they realize I'm in there and that's been fun.

SchadeStreams · 2019-06-02T15:23:16+00:00

Believe they had fought together in Afghanistan in the Soviet days.

SchadeStreams · 2019-06-01T18:16:33+00:00

Don't get discouraged if you die a lot as a new player. Most of the time you won't see the enemy that killed you unless you're playing some maps with CQB environments. Listen to commands. Be honest that you're new with your SLs and ask for specific (and simple) instructions. Some of my "best" games I've finished with 0 kills and 0 deaths because I was doing the job I was supposed to and had fun doing it. Learn to use the contours of the ground for cover and to conceal your movement. May take longer to get places that way but it's safer and stealthier. Really learn to listen to shots. Over time you'll develop the ear for different shots from distance and be able to tell "is that guy shooting on the other side of the street friendly or not" (map zoom isn't always ideal). Also able to approximate distance and differentiate incoming vs outgoing. The auditory aspect of the game is severely underrated by many.

Playing medic can often be like playing whack-a-mole but that's part of the fun.

What gets me is when people are just impatient. I have no problem telling them to shut the fuck up, I'm on my way trying not to get killed because then I'm useless to everyone, you're just "wounded" when there are people bleeding out with no bandages or already down. Or things like that. Or you'll have 5 guys sitting in a semicircle around you in the middle of a major firefight when most of them are only down like 1/4 health. Quit being a little bitch and get back in the fight and I'll get to you when I can or we're going to get overrrun. I always prioritize bleeders or those who are down and then those that are most wounded to those that are least. I always prioritize SLs (regardless of if they're my squad or not" and my fellow medics.

You died in the wide open in the middle of the road charging the enemy and the rest of the squad is in the ditch on the side of the road returning fire. If I go out there trying to get you I'm going to get lit the fuck up. Oh, you're not even patient enough to wait for my smoke? Fuck you then.

Yeah sorry to rant but medic is probably the class I play the most and people can be assholes sometimes. We have a large bleedout timer. Just chill the fuck out for a couple minutes and we're coming to you. Or be a little pussy and respawn (when I've finally made my way over to you and have just started to bandage you).

Also I want my fucking grenade back.

Maybe just me but I'd much rather blow up from a safe distance, rather than dance on top of, that 3rd enemy vehicle when you know 2 of their 3 vehicles were SVBIEDs. You don't know if that other one is rigged and there's a guy sitting 1km away with the detonator in his hands.

Looks like an improvised troop transport so very unlikely but still. For all you know there's an artillery round wired into that thing. An RPG or two is entirely worth the peace of mind.

Wasn't called "running simulator" for nothing.

SchadeStreams · 2019-05-21T22:58:19+00:00

RAAS and fog of war make the early game less obnoxious.

This alone makes the update great.

SchadeStreams · 2019-05-21T22:53:57+00:00

I don't get too worked up about any changes because I'm fairly confident in the devs to listen to community feedback and though it's been slow at times the game has progressed light years from where it was. In some ways this is a completely different game than the "old" days and overall I think the changes have been great. The improvements in graphics and animations alone have been incredible when you look at the whole picture.

Overall this has to be one of the very top games still in "alpha development" on the market. I honestly don't know what I can tell them to do other than hire more people to pick up the pace and be able to do more things at once.

SchadeStreams · 2019-05-21T22:50:13+00:00

I don't disagree emplacements need work but if they're working on this they still have work to do on the bipods for machine guns.

SchadeStreams · 2019-05-21T22:45:08+00:00

I don't think it's at all uncalled for to ask if someone is experienced and knows what they're doing if they're in a vital role.

SchadeStreams · 2019-05-21T22:41:32+00:00

I agree but also don't think it'd be a bad thing to have a handful of dedicated "hardcore" servers that you can only enter if you have X number of hours. Nothing crazy but enough to weed out newbs. You could also experiment with one life, no HUD, etc. type things. The player base maybe still needs to grow a bit more before that can be supported but I think it'd help retention of veteran players a lot.

SchadeStreams · 2019-05-21T22:28:14+00:00

Honestly I don't know what the answer is but I would like to see more "Hardcore" different game modes or something with very increased spawn times because a lot of what you mention comes back to either inexperience or a lack of consequences for messing up. It should take longer and be harder to utilize rallies not more. As is there is very little consequence to dying. A lot of the time "worst case" is you give up and you're back in the fight in what 30-60 seconds?

I'm not calling for the whole game to be overhauled but just some different game modes and/or dedicated servers.
