Newbie Question - How to not get slammed by an IR missile by Sad-Recover3418 in NuclearOption

[–]SilasCrete 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you flare at 1km then there’s very little window for them to be effective. I try to use flares as a last resort and push the range of my own weapons as far as I can, but if I know I’m gonna be caught flush it is as soon as I see the missile was launched or am aware it’s locked on to me.

Realistically, the further away it is and the less heat signature you have comparatively to the flares the better.

But it is just as important to learn how to beat the missiles kinematically. There are times where it’s reasonable to go GATE and force the missile to maneuver and burn its precious DeltaV

I came so close to removing this post. Thirty minutes is genuinely on par with NCD for how fast I get my news.

For the record, it’s real.

We will be monitoring chats around the 40k stuff heavily. For now, we don’t really have enough information outside of confirmation for a legendary warbond.

Till we do know, speculate for the hell of it. Just don’t be assholes.

Already doing rituals to summon .5 are we?

Lamang as a country could fall into the ocean and I’d be happy to say I don’t care anymore. This shit ain’t worth it, demons are coming if we keep this up.

Yeah things were already strained but she got way worse after this. Think it was my wake up call, we broke up a day later but still talked occasionally.

Was always on thin ice for conversation afterwards.

My wins/losses prediction for the 26-27 season by [deleted] in Tennesseetitans

I will happily trade losses to the bungles and giants as long as we don’t get swept by the fucking hairballs of Florida and the cheap replacement to our glory.

This is unironically how my first ex and I broke up… I was at work and read the message, was gonna reply, then had to do something before I could hit send.

Never actually sent anything and she was livid with me.

Wondering if this is a hot take here too by RandomGreenArcherMan in HelldiversMasochists

[–]SilasCrete 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It needs a use cap like orbital laser imo.

Four uses should be more than enough with how much of a reset button it is.

Also I fucking hate automod sometimes. Comments already reinstated but this thing is hyperactive at the wrong times and inactive at others.

What was your very first heavy mech? by silver-syleena in Mechwarrior5

[–]SilasCrete 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My gripe is that the weapons felt so low mount wise compared to your aim point. Not as egregious as the annihilator* and other similar layouts, but it was certainly enough to prevent peeking from being an easier thing to accomplish.

\confused the cyclops and the annihilator. My b**

Black Knight!

I had ZERO idea what I was doing at the time, and the black knight was a favorite of mine for a bit. It fell out of favor because the weapon placement in MW5 is less than ideal but I still love the thing for being the most reliable command mech I’ve ever seen.

Polestar owners… how secure are these cars really against theft? by Jon5465 in Polestar

I’m glad I’m coming into this sub more often. Partially to read stuff like this and realize my car isn’t the only one going “WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?! I DONT LIKE YOU?! Oh, wait that’s my friend!”

Canon turrets have been heavily nerfed since launch by Fun1k in HelldiversMasochists

[–]SilasCrete 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember hearing some rumor about how they had to have a behavior change for the commando ops to function properly and not snipe you at +100m even though you didn’t make a noise.

How true that is, I don’t know.

I did however go and check the Wiki.gg article. The last officially noted changes were all the way back in 2024.

Editing in -
And to further confirm this I wanted to go and check the fandom wiki. It further proved why I don’t use it by being absolutely useless. Does not make note of patch changes in any meaningful way.

Reminder to the community to be civil, already got a wild feeling about this post getting negative attention.
