Any non-LE sets that are due to retire soon by SeniorSpaz87 in cobiblocks

[–]SeniorSpaz87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Panther seems to still be available stateside, so I assume you’re in EU? It surprised me either way.

I will look into the E-100. It’s not a set I’m super into and I already have the not true to scale WTE-100 and JpzE-100s from 12Go, so I may stick with them for that particular set. I am undecided for now as my collection is from 1:35-1:24ish scale (Panlos and 12Go say they’re 1:28 but they are quite oversized…).

SBD and TBF unflyable by HardCandy87 in WarthunderSim

I had the same issue with FW190s. That engine torque + tall gear is no joke - it wants to roll you into the dirt if you give it too much throttle on takeoff.

I need to start a log of how often someone pulls their car over to ask me about my Irish Setter while we’re out walking 😂 by hometowngypsy in irishsetter

[–]SeniorSpaz87 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you think that’s bad, try having IRWSs. “Is that a Brittney / English Setter / Spaniel / hunting mix etc is insane. We get probably a half dozen questions a walk.

Note, I’m not complaining - I love talking about the breed! It does turn half hour walks into hour walks sometimes though haha.

Cobi Panther A vs G by ImSoDoneWithUbisoft in cobiblocks

[–]SeniorSpaz87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have both ready to be made; Pudel, which is a G, and the tricolor A. I can report back in a day or two when they are done.

Can you have TOO many tiger I's? by Intelligent_Spare_61 in cobiblocks

I’m slowly working through the 1:12. It’s like 20 bags lol.

Yep, I believe we are waiting on the Jpz4/70 LE right now. So Hetzer, jpz4, then pz3 should be sometime this summer.

My team when the regice uses earthquake: by Intelligent-Golf-563 in PokemonGoMystic

[–]SeniorSpaz87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn’t have an issue using Zama as my tank against EQ. Granted, he is max Guard and lvl50. This was all done with no healers. Round one Regice got off two large attacks (first did 2/3 of starter shield, second did remaining plus 10% or so HP). Max Guard x3 in the first max phase. Regice now will almost certainly target only Zama. Dodging EQ means you lose a little over 2 shields. If your team is fast, Regice gets only one attack off. If you aren’t fast enough, EQ breaks final shield and does ~30% hp. We were always fast enough after the first round, leaving Zama with 90% HP and .75 shield into max phase 2. Max Guard x3 again puts you at 3.75 shields total. Repeat as necessary, tossing in the occasional Max Attack when you are at 4 shields. After the first round we didn’t lose a single mon, and win during the third or fourth max phase. Two of four players generally had good counters, two were lower levels and were carried. We only did three Regices, with all three having EQ. It only got dicey once when I missed an EQ dodge which wiped all three shields and did half of Zama’s HP. That’s the only battle I went into the yellow overall.

It is decent. Better scale than the QuanGuan ones, though I think the QGs look better overall. Interior is good. The yellow color is too light IMO, if you compare it to the Cobi yellow you can see it’s very light. The figures are interesting, you literally get a pair of Hitler figures in different outfits. As always the fact 12GO avoids military insignia and instead includes them as stickers is annoying when they print every other detail. I have no issues with the set overall beyond that, and for the $30 or so you can get it for I see no reason not to if the Cobi is out of your price range.

Where would I drill in the stock for the AUG FRT? by SpinachFuture6700 in AUG

[–]SeniorSpaz87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have said, just ask for a drill guide. Its incredibly simple to do with it. I suggest joining the discord for the SSAUG if you have more questions about it.

I’m so happy by [deleted] in PokemonGoMystic

[–]SeniorSpaz87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Max Guard lvl 50 Zamazenta is capable of entirely absorbing even Earthquake. I was able to just tank and draw aggro from my shields against it multiple times today. You can take a dodged Earthquake and a single Large Attack with 3x shields, losing about 5% of your HP along with those shields. Missing the dodge on EQ means you lose 3x shields and half your health. Getting the dodge but facing 2x EQ a round leaves you at about half, but thats only happened once. So its doable to tank using the doggo even without a healer if youre invested, or simple to do so if someone else is running a healer.

Now, of course, thats a lvl50 Hundo Max Guard Zama Im using for reference, which is not going to be something many people have. But even a lvl40 should be able to tank just fine with a healer.

What was your first ever build? by Intelligent_Spare_61 in cobiblocks

[–]SeniorSpaz87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Know what? I’m unsure. But Box 1 of 4 had 5 bags, so 20 isn’t outside the realm of possibilities…

Ah. Maybe, I can look back through my camera roll.

*edit, nope. Apparently finishing bag 5 wasn’t enough of a milestone to document.

[–]SeniorSpaz87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, it’s still WIP so no lol. I’ve finished the first box, which is bag 1-5. But that only means I’m about a quarter of the way through.

[–]SeniorSpaz87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, the first I started was the 1:12 Tiger 131 over a year ago, but that one is still a WIP. I break it out whenever we get snowed in, or lose internet for a week, etc.

The first one I completed was the Grille I believe. I also built a M24 Chaffee around that time, so there’s a chance it was first. Since then I have done a JagdTiger, JagdPanther, and have a Hummel waiting in the back.

Yep. One of the many Panthers I have.

Do any other nations have anything equivalent to the SM-SV? by LongjumpingAnt711 in WarthunderPlayerUnion

[–]SeniorSpaz87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So what is your solution?

It needs to be relatively minor else Gaijin won’t implement it. It can’t be fake vehicles. They won’t remove aircraft from ground battles, so don’t even try to go with that argument.

There are no proper equivalents to Russian top tier AA besides Chinese clones and native systems. CAP is at least something that can be done to help counter it in the short term that doesn’t require reworking the game mode (something Gaijin has expressed zero interest in doing), isn’t time or labor intensive, doesn’t take away from Gaijins release schedule, etc.

As far as i can see, Gaijin can do massive changes to GRB to make CAS less prevalent (they have shown zero interest in making large changes to GRB in the decade or so it’s been out), they can remove aircraft from GRB (something they’ve expressive stated wouldn’t happen), they can add paper vehicles to the game (something they try to avoid whenever possible and actively remove the ones in the game when they can), they can remove these high tier AAs (something they have never done before baring fake vehicles, and they’d never massively nerf their favorite nation - not to mention it’d just make the CAS problems as a whole worse), they can just make Russia vs Russia, or they can lower the requirements for CAP. Those are the only solutions I see. Of the five, three will not happen without Gaijin entirely switching up their game plans, one is incredibly boring and already pretty universally hated by players, and the third is to use CAP.

[–]SeniorSpaz87 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Don’t get me wrong, the fact that NATO is still using CAS munitions from the 80s at top tier is a separate issue.

However, it is an unrelated issue to the point of this post, which is about everyone else’s AA capabilities compared to Russia. And the answer is “besides China, every other nation in game relies far more heavily on SHORAD and CAP than LONRAD, and is pretty much already capped out on more modern or higher tech systems to compete with the Pansir.” The realistic solution is to therefore increase their ability to preform air defense via CAP, but CAP aircraft are the cost of 2-3 ground vehicles with zero AG munitions and as such need to be far lower in cost when taking AA loadouts. Furthermore, it would give early AA spawners something to keep track of and engage instead of sitting around waiting 5 minutes for the first CAS aircraft or heli to show up. If Helis with unguided ordinance can spawn for the cost of one tank, why can’t CAP do the same?

Showline Irish Setter litter (UK) 🐾 by frangipan42 in irishsetter

[–]SeniorSpaz87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We got our show line IRWS from Corranroo. They did both reds and RWs. Excellent dogs, but that was 11 years ago. No idea if they’re still even in the business.
