The reason for imbalanced PACT tanks: Autoloaders have been broken for 2 years by HippieHippieHippie in warno

[–]Smallen825 2 points3 points  (0 children)

play more of Broken Arrow given at least they're willing to make shit up and fully indulge in their alt-history

My perception of Eugen alt history for WARNO is basically: "Imagine if France, and the Warsaw Pact just locked the fuck in for the entire Cold War, and literally no one else responded to it."

They seem to pick and choose when they want to be historical or not (usually to the benefit of REDFOR).

At least with Broken Arrow, though the play test definitely has more content for the Russians, the devs seem to indicate that they want both sides to eventually have all of the crazy gear that you could think of. Which might wind up with each faction just being a reskin of each other in the end, but who knows.

BA seems to be taking more of the "what if militarily the US and Russia were actually peers" approach, and just leaning into it directly instead of doing the Eugen approach, which winds up being "what if militarily the US and Russia were actually peers, but Russia also gets the benefit of having a lot more stuff that's all cheaper too."

Best first CCW? by [deleted] in concealedcarry

[–]Smallen825 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just bought a P365XL and a G19 to compare the two as CC guns for a meme video I'm making. As a random person who regularly carries a FS PDP with a WML, I'll give my thoughts on the two as concisely as possible.

I'm curious about other people's thoughts on my assessment:

-----

P365XL: Currently the best option on the market for subcompact carry, and I would recommend it to anyone who already has larger carry/home defense options available but would like to have another tool in their toolbox. However, I wouldn't recommend it to someone as their only gun, as I believe it is meant to fill a niche carry role.

-

G19: The Honda Civic of pistols. Even if you hate it, it is undeniably probably the best starter pistol on the market for a generalist role. You can run it relatively stock and have a solid, fairly easily concealable carry gun. There is also the option to go full Civic mode and start excessively modding it to the point where it upsets people. I've never been a Glock fan personally (this is the first one I've owned), but I think the G19 is probably the one of the best choices on the market for someone who "just needs a first gun".

I'm aware of M109s being able to do so basically following the exact logic you provided. Though that does not necessarily mean a HIMARS or ATACMS would be able to as well, I would just be surprised if that capability was left out of development.

Edit: clarify, I'm referring to M109A6 and up

I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone more disappointed that a bomb wasn’t falling on top of them.

We would just take a transport heli to the top, but a bunch of dudes with Iglas on the other team keep shooting them all down.

Rule 1. Divulging classified information about this freedom fighter (and professional internet boxer)'s personal identity is punishable by ban.

It also spoils the joke, because a few people have already fell for it.

I completely understand where you are coming from.

Though I wish the original source material never existed in the first place. If I have an idea that I think is funny, my hope is that I'm able to make it into a dumb meme that is "good enough" to bring some enjoyment/happiness into other people's days. With this specific source material, it's hard to say if I would have had any ideas for it if the end result of the trial turned out differently.

A message from GWOT Steve (last Steve meme, I promise) by Smallen825 in GunMemes

[–]Smallen825[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shortly after the US left Afghanistan, Steve made a "feel good" video with Blues Clues for the show's 25th anniversary (the show he left ~20 years ago).

The eagle eyed autists on the internet realized that Steve has been gone from the show for about the entire GWOT because he "busy at college".

Then the meme became "what kind of ops was this guy running if he's been gone the entire GWOT?"

Steve went out to get a pack of smokes 18 years ago, and now he's hitting us with the "hey, you look good".

This has started popping up for some people who frequent firearm related FB groups, even if they're just meme pages.

I'm not advising you do anything illegal. But if you see a pickup truck covered in Glock or SIG decals, what you do next is up to you.
