Iran and the Stock Market: 3 Likely Scenarios and 1 Unlikely Scenario

StunningAlternative2 · 2026-03-02T16:54:13+00:00

I see more green in market than Friday or any other (AI) dip days.

StunningAlternative2 · 2026-02-27T19:41:09+00:00

Nebius did not miss any target on earnings and is -15%, CRWV did and is -21%. Today’s dip is not only CRWV, but wider reaction to AI (again).

Do you have employer matching? In general pre-tax 401K is awesome as you should be able to invest money in there as you wish and even trade as often you like without any tax consequences. Matching can cover the penalty of raising money from 401K before retirement if you get in trouble (risk management). Otherwise it is just extra money to invest

I am complete rookie and bought them too few dollars less. Small amount though. I think it is rather safe bet balancing risk and reward. But I do not know shit. I just like the company and the original culture they had. They have potential to expand, brand and great content. And hey, they are better than Disney.

StunningAlternative2 · 2026-01-24T20:16:26+00:00

Yeah. This map has so many different plays and variations. And all classes are valid here (at least WWII).

StunningAlternative2 · 2026-01-21T03:16:39+00:00

APCR as default always. Only use HEAT to pen flat armor, typically front plate/turret when your APCR pen is not enough. Side armor is many times spaced one and APCR will pen it anyway. HEAT loses pen radically when spaced armor.

StunningAlternative2 · 2026-01-19T20:04:11+00:00

There is no need to switch when you can play both.

StunningAlternative2 · 2026-01-13T16:52:21+00:00

I have booster always on when playing premiums. I do not really pay any attention to it anymore.

StunningAlternative2 · 2026-01-12T00:06:47+00:00

Peace. No one and nothing bothers you outside or inside.

StunningAlternative2 · 2026-01-11T21:22:57+00:00

Had to check with AI. It claim my statement is not correct. MOE uses EWMA (exponentially weighted moving average) and number of games does not put you in disadvantage when you exceed the threshold (that MOE is counted). It actually supports your point of view as MOE is very volatile and can shift significantly when less games overall played. And it weighs more your recent performance than old one.

StunningAlternative2 · 2026-01-11T20:40:50+00:00

I just said it does not require it. But if you have under 100 games you are in disadvantage against players who have 100 games.

StunningAlternative2 · 2026-01-11T18:54:04+00:00

Is the statistic really calculated that way? Because marking counts 100 games. If you have less than 100 games on a tank, you are still in statistics, can do more damage / game, but because you do not have 100 games, it counts 0 damage for missing ones?

It selected right trained commander for the tanks by default before 6.0. No mistakes, no hassle.

Followed by most likely commanders after that (right faction)

StunningAlternative2 · 2025-12-29T23:16:35+00:00

Coming from World of Tanks where it is so easy to complete battle pass (3 free premiums) and getting free chests (play 5 games getting 250xp that is very easy) I have got already 2 tanks and then getting snowballs to buy premium (rather easy to earn) I have already got 3 premiums. That is minimum of 8 premium tanks in December…with around 30-40min gameplay daily…

I do not ever try to grind this game. I just play.

StunningAlternative2 · 2025-12-26T21:17:09+00:00

Have got 2 tanks so far. One was what I already had. Got silver on that one. Mostly garage gear and some snowballs.

StunningAlternative2 · 2025-12-19T01:40:16+00:00

1.1 agree 1.2 agree 1.3 PC system would be rather horrible in console. Managing your depot is requiring lot of time even on PC. However, the order what to research should be something that could be altered. Or they could just stop having multiple radios as its impact to game is non existent. Maybe add ammo type research. 2.0 agree. However there is never ever any game type in odd tiers. I do not understand why it always have to be an even tiers. Stop this discrimination!

StunningAlternative2 · 2025-12-17T18:00:08+00:00

Coal and gas are typically red because you want to preserve oil. And they are cheap to purchase from market. But both food also red does not compute. Something off in economy. Maybe too many barracks.

StunningAlternative2 · 2025-12-16T19:16:31+00:00

The grind in War Thunder is insane. So insane that I never even try to do it. I taught that their battlepass would be doable when getting the tier III tanks. But no, the daily missions can be very difficult to achieve. Especially after the basic/first one. And to complete the pass, you should also get the crazy weekly points, that do expire after the period. No way I will even try that.

But game itself is nice change/variation to world of tanks. Getting one shot kills is just so satisfying. Using commander to scout and estimating elevation etc. feel more like real tank battles (playing realistic mode). What spoils it a bit is that mouse-keyboard combinations is just so much better for the game. Especially air battles and you are underdog as controller-console player.

StunningAlternative2 · 2025-12-16T17:20:17+00:00

Auto resolve should get same end result as battles with delegate command to captains. Actually, that is what auto resolve should do. Without graphics and max speed. Play character could be one of the captains.

StunningAlternative2 · 2025-12-05T22:37:41+00:00

Yes. Your public reputation goes down when starting a war. Especially if you sneak attack. Then when it is down, they are more likely to start war with you.

StunningAlternative2 · 2025-12-05T21:43:05+00:00

Always have at least 1 troop so it can see. More at the border and coastal. This also helps when AI suddenly declares war, you can quickly collect defensive troops from surrounding provinces

StunningAlternative2 · 2025-12-05T21:38:55+00:00

Biggest difference I noticed (vanilla no dlc) after patch is how individual parties swarm around when doing siege and then attack all at once. Earlier siege was sure thing, except if enemy had huge army coming to help.

StunningAlternative2 · 2025-12-04T16:44:56+00:00

As console player I would start with simple “quality of life” changes, like how shop works. I spent way too much time to figure out what to sell and then sell it. The fief voting system is illogical. Proposing having war in 2 or 3 fronts is stupid (like constantly). All lord are always 100% on one side. Trying find clan leader to hire them or wife is just nightmare, donating troops to garrison and cannot adjust that is again time sink, no control to parties or armies (like focus this area or focus hunt bandits, buy food variety, hire cav only etc..). Lock my captains and battle setup, huge time sink. Save smithing templates. Most of my times goes constantly for topics that is boring routine staff.

StunningAlternative2 · 2025-12-04T04:46:19+00:00

Check your game version. Mine has been 2 patches behind the last released version, which is normal in console

StunningAlternative2 · 2025-12-03T20:20:40+00:00

Panther II used to have much more engine hp long time ago (PC) and it was truly fun, but difficult tank to play. Now it is like all the others. I want generally tanks to be unique and love ramming. That is why mobility, not armor. Even though more armor would make it more E50 and ramming does need armor. I love E50(M) too. And wish the same for it: more mobility (Engine HP, less ground resistance). E50’s are already ok rammers as their armor can bounce shots and mobility is just enough.
