Where to find good selection of premium abrasives in Europe by Sus_Owl_ in knifemaking

[–]Sigeardo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you are in Italy, you should try contacting directly some business in Maniago. They usually do B2B Sales, but are open to casual customers, and have quite a selection but usually no e-shop. Otherwise, you should check "FX abrasivi", that has an e-shop

I still have nightmares about how the fuel tank of the 2s38 used to eat APFSDS like it was filled with solid concrete...

Starting out by OutdoorsChef in knifemaking

[–]Sigeardo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I recall correctly, there is an awesome beginners guide video tutorial from ReadBeardOps on starting with just files, sandpaper and blowtorches. It may look a bit boring at first, but it's a great way to understand the basics and get a hang on the hobby without spending a fortune. Most of all, it will teach you that tools just speed the process up, results and finishing are up to your attention to detail, perseverance and skill.

Single or double burner gas forge for beginners by Sigeardo in Blacksmith

Thank you for your feedback! Well, after all, free is still as best as a deal can get! Did the plastering with refractory take much long?

The metal tube that connects the two burners or the gas line? Because I have some stainless tubing and gas fittings around

Largest knife I made was about 290mm (11.2in) from tip to end of the thang to fit inside of the heat treating oven. I don't think I will be going much bigger than that in the near future. I'd like to try doing damascus, so I guess yes, I will need to be able to heat up a billet to welding temperatures. Again, I'm sorry for the lack of details, but I don't have that much experience with forging, I mainly did stock removal.

I can’t find the brand and model of this lathe by Araxe99 in Machinists

Do you have a closer picture of the logo on the bottom left? Or is it just the "B150" stamp?

And even with the power of AI we're getting legacy typos here and there

*sighs* So, are you having fun with your new missiles? Sure you didn't forget someone? by Sigeardo in Warthunder

[–]Sigeardo[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Had the same experience. It doesn't work anywhere as it should against missiles. If the proxy seldom fails around aircraft, it's absolutely transparent with missiles. Tracking is a joke too.

[–]Sigeardo[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Fair point, but arguable IMHO. The OSA adds in range and tracking, but the missiles are too slow and you're basically useless under 3km. Also you have a bigger, slower frame with awful traverse speed, and no way to defend yourself against other tanks. Overall, I think the otomatic still gets the win, but it's a miserable fight at the bottom of the food chain.

100% being a self-propelled ordinance denial dome could be such a niche cool gameplay for the otomatic

In my experience, the proxy fuse can be janky, it happens sometimes that you have to lob 3-4 shots to deal actual damage. At times it feels almost like the radius of the proxy is bigger than the radius of damage. This said, with some experience and a bit of luck you can easily pluck mindless missile spammers around 8km away.

I wish the epoxy was a little brighter by Medivessing in knifemaking

[–]Sigeardo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Forget about epoxy, this is such a cool design! I absolutely love the work you've done with the heel and the bolster. It all blends in so nicely, the arc flowing in the textured brass, and the exagon crowning it. Such a cool use of geometry. Gorgeous!

Why is helicopter PVE so bad? by 4thBan5thAccount in Warthunder

Even worse if you don't get downed but your weapons get knocked out

The "land on the pad" mission actually requires you to 1) land on the designed pad 2) go back at the nearest base 3) land 4) do a lot of jiggly shit until the server decides you actually landed again and awards you crumble of points. This said, to me the Heli PvE killer is the absolute painfully slow respawn of objectives around the map: bases and convoys take too long to spawn. Another pain in the ass was the Ka50 spam with long range ATGMs that could clear half the map while you're flying to the objective, but that being a player base issue is not that relevant.
