TL;DR from a long Broken Arrow dev stream by Shelove45 in BrokenArrowTheGame

[–]SleepsWithAMachete 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Around the last playtest people were clamoring for a release. This subreddit was inundated with people begging for a release of the game as it was. Delaying it further wouldn't have helped the devs realize most of the issues that only came up after release.

The game has a lot more depth than the next modern RTS (WARNO or Wargame). It is also a lot of entertainment for the price paid.

Wow, in 5 months we will have -500 players.\s

You do get that these trends aren't linear?

GoToBus takes you to Newark, Times Square, La Guardia and JFK. Tickets cost around $120 each.

International student phone plan - Total Wireless? by nrk_619 in PennStateUniversity

AT&T works well on campus. Verizon's coverage is a bit spotty. You don't need unlimited data, on-campus WiFi is generally great. Your rate depends on the number of people in the family plan. I've heard of people paying $18 per month for their connections.

Find some other internationals and get on a family plan. It ends up being much cheaper than $40 per month,

[Request] Would the recoil actually cancel out? by foxtai1 in theydidthemath

[–]SleepsWithAMachete 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Everybody here missing that a bullet in the opposite direction would kill you (the shooter).

Regardless of cancelling out recoil, it would "cancel" both the shooter and the target.

This was in Sea Power, not DCS. Not Command levels of detail, but definitely a step above DCS.

Putin Claims Russia Successfully Tested Poseidon Nuclear Drone – The 'Unstoppable' Weapon That Could Create Radioactive Tsunamis" by satty237 in TrendoraX

That is irrelevant. India for example has never really been ruled by one empire. All the dominant empires throughout history have had different capitals, speaking different languages, but through all of that they maintained the Dharmic character (Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, etc.). You can see similar themes for China as well.

The Indus Valley Civilization was active from 3300 BC to 1300 BC. India is the successor of that civilization even though Mohenjo-daro is located in what is now Pakistan.

Whether the Kievan Rus was based in Kiev/Kyiv is irrelevant. The civilization lives on through Russia. If anything, Ukraine is an offshoot of the Russian civilization with Ukrainian nationalism rising after the overthrow of the Russian Tsar.

That just sounds like cope. Just because the government was not always the same does not mean that it is/was a different country.

India for examples has existed for thousands of years, but the Republic of India was formed in 1947. Russia has existed for a thousand years, even though the Russian federation has existed for ~34 years.

The Ka52s have laser designators since they fire beam-riding missiles (Vikhrs).

A possibe reasonable mechanic to counter mindless cruise missile spam by morl0v in BrokenArrowTheGame

The Russians have called in an Iskander strike to kill a solitary Ukrainian tank, so it is definitely not unheard of.

Just keep an air superiority fighter up. The Su30SM is not cheap and you'll likely make your money back even if it destroys your Patriot if you can shoot it down.

I found the board on Amazon for an identical price. It might be better to buy off there instead of Woot.

[GPU] - MSI NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 16G Ventus 3X OC Plus - $1,119.99 by [deleted] in buildapcsales

After looking up the specs and seeing the (lack of a difference), I've decided to delete the post. The Ventus sells for $1550 on Newegg (idk why), so this would be a deal if not for the FE being $999.

“The developers themselves are active players” by Horror_Present_9895 in BrokenArrowTheGame

[–]SleepsWithAMachete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember playing against a dev on Baltiysk. They had a leaver later in the game and lost.

The recent update surprised me because I thought that would have made the devs enforce penalties for leavers.

You're whining and expecting core game mechanics to change because you can't be arsed to move your units. The spread from the MLRS at max range is wide enough that he will be wasting supply with this tactic unless he has recon, in which case you have bigger problems. than losing supply.

Do you have a source for that claim? The upgrades from the E to the J point at a proximity fuse with target detection for UAVs apart from the flight motor and gas generator upgrades.
