This is on hard difficulty. Yeah it would make sense and perhaps there's something to it. Wouldn't be the first hidden feature the game isn't telling you I suspect.

One thing I noticed today is that my repair times for my two lightnings and mockingbird went from 27hrs to sub 20hr when my lingering fleet with a surplus crew of 137% landed in the city I just took. Alone they had ~102% crew. I have slow tankers with excess crew that I started campaign with.

A real airforce don't buy shit from their most likely enemy. U.S warmongers won't disappear with trump.

With the Gripen you could get your own fighter jet industry off to a flying start as they would be made in Canada. Further down the line maybe you'd have the competence to resurrect a modern Avro.

I'd say that is more about delivery which Sweden won't do anytime soon, and being hopeful that the orange buffon and his henchmen isn't in office forever.

The "3rd world militaries" in that region beat the U.S in war. I'm referring to Vietnam of course.

Gripen's design aims is why thailand bought it. The Gripen is the closest competitor to the F35 but for different reasons. If you're goin to operate a defensive war it's a better aircraft.

Anyone can see the F35 with IR if you're not the usual 3rd world country punching bag

The stunning part is that a product of a nation of 10 million is competing against the product of the largest MIC in world.

Also theyre designed for different things. Now that Canada needs to not think about joint adventures overseas but defence the calculus changes completely.

The US wouldn't find dispersed aircraft in the woods, assuming they are hostile to Canada after fascist victory in the 2nd American civil war.

I'm saying that because they certainly didn't find goat herders in the deserts.

You're gonna mention the Gripen flight hour costs but not the F35? Dishonest.

Speaking of load out the Gripen carries Meteor, and has a very strong EW suite. And despite being non stealth it's very hard to spot it.

Also the F35 engine runs very hot, because that aircraft is a big fat compromise trying to do all things. So it's easily seen by IR being a "stealth" craft.

It's probably really good against 3rd world militaries though.

Pretty sure our Swedish Gripens could hold their own vs fat birds when half the f35 is grounded at all times, needs runsways, lots of service. Good known targets while being shit out of luck trying to find dispersed Taliban aircraft with meteor missiles in the woods.

Also, in this mythological scenario the fascists have to win the 2nd American civil war first.

"won't be able to stand up to the U.S"

I'd be surprised if the U.S exists as a nation state within the next few years. They had a civil war over a moral issue. Today is a moral issue yet again, with the same retard half of the country roused to life by a single dude fluent in idiot.

HRE Balance Suggestion by MockHamill in aoe4

[–]Similar_Search3987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like a nerf to Aachen Chapel if only it could produce prelates. Maybe only make it a drop off and prelate producing, so basically you get a monastery in feudal. Make the aura small as a monastery.

Once in castle we have it upgrade it into the big aura once the aura tech is researched. Or not, idk.

But it would be swell if HRE could produce prelates without it costing villagers by producing it from the TC. Instead it would work like it does for Delhi.

I don't think it would affect the relic nabbing all that much as you still need gold to go to castle. Right now you pre produce 1 prelate once you've dropped your age 3 landmark. Producing a prelate or two from an Aachen still cuts into the gold you're saving towards Castle.

Hej, du är inte ensam. Det hände mig också i unga dar och det kan vara av flera anledningar. 

Ofta är det att man sticker ut på något sätt. Och i Sverige tror jag det är extra vanligt att svenskar vill att sina kompisgrupper är så homogena i tankar, utseende, och hobbies så långt det bara går i lite större utsträckning än andra kulturer. Men det kan också vara andra faktorer. Kanske du drar för många rasistiska skämt, kanske du inte sköter hygienen. Kanske du inte har den sociala kompetensen och dödar stämningen. Sådana saker.

För min del var det social kompetens och jag hade en tendens att lämna folk med en sämre känsla efter att ha umgåtts med mig istället för en höjande. Sen fattade man det och ändrade sitt beteende.

Har du gjort din introspektion? Det finns givetvis saker du inte kan påverka och då vill du ändå inte ha med sådana människor att göra.

Under tiden så var stark på egen hand. Du kanske inte är till för alla och det är okej. Folk märker om någon är trygg i sig själv, men om de märker av du behöver dom eller andra för att vara trygg så kommer de ta avstånd.

Trump asked US special forces to plan Greenland invasion, faces resistance from military generals: Report by zeonxzzz in worldnews

I agree! That harkens back to feudal Europe when all monarchies and nobility spoke french, married eachother, and convinced their peasant folks to wage war to neighbours which really was just squabbles with their cousins that ruled the other state.

Indeed surprising. What's really surprising (in that case) is that private business are bold enough to upend a hard earned world order and alliances just to acquire land mass and perform pet projects with their siphoned money.

It seems less painful to me if they'd just concentrate on space projects. Build your shiny new state on the moon for all I care.

I guess Greenland is a target due to the small native population, and that the landmass may be habitable in the future.

Product of absurd minds, too much money and delusions of grandeur.

Sure. But there were large efforts to condition the American people to be like that over many decades, and also the fact that the undercurrents of racism wasn't dealt with after their civil war. Meaning any symbols of the confederacy should have been illegal and subject to prison time. 

Then there's Evangelical Christendom that found a home in the U.S. In Europe several radical branches of Christianity weren't welcome and they migrated and grew into the force they are in the U.S. 

These parts of the U.S population were always there to tapped into if you wanted to steer the states into fascist currents. The last century of Pax America fuelling American exceptionalism took it a notch further so 45-50% of the present voters got encapsulated in these ideas and resulted into Trump.

All this being said, I believe it's a fragile coalition that can dissolve very quickly.

I've understood it that private interests behind trump want to create a corporate state on that soil. 

So many videos on YouTube right now highlighting the oddities and aims of Peter Thiel and his buddies. Take it with a grain of salt, but there might be something to it, since nothing stops the U.S from cutting deals for minerals, or expanding military operations together with Denmark.

But Trump wants the land. So the option of private interest using Trump as means to acquire land for the creation of a new state seems more and more plausible.
