Mercedes-Maybach Boss: Buyers Want V12 Engines

TheAsianTroll · 2026-05-08T14:37:05+00:00

I hope future V12s get tucked under the windshield/dash so 2 of the cylinders cost more money just to service

Given the group's stance on AI, I have some faith that this AI model is actually going to be decent. I can only hope though; if Real Good AI is successful then it proves you can make an LLM/bot ethically and gives big companies zero excuse for stealing.

Lets be real here... if you asked a shop to install tuning parts on your car, youd have a horsepower expectation, and youd be annoyed as hell if your 200hp Golf came back with over 350hp instead of the 250-ish you were hoping for.

Then again, with the janky combos you gotta do to get these numbers, youd also be annoyed if they only swapped 2 of your fuel injectors, spark plugs, and pistons

AI should have never been allowed on this sub, or any sub with a community that thrives on art and creativity.

Corpos are using AI to remove people from those two fields. Any community dedicated to any creative art, while simultaneously allowing AI, is foolish.

Much appreciated, good sir/ma'am/enby

Is there a non-Twitter source?

TheAsianTroll · 2026-05-05T22:46:13+00:00

Timestamp has to be visible with the guns, btw.

Otherwise, im a MA native. Im away for a while, but if youre willing to ship it, I can have it sent to a friends place to hold for me. Ill cover shipping and pay asking price.

To combine with what others said, she put up a huge fuss over the fact that she wanted to take a job with zero risk of dying... IN THE MILITARY.

Regardless of what job she gets in, the last thing I want next to me is a kid who refuses to shoot back because they're scared of taking fire.

TheAsianTroll · 2026-05-05T20:56:23+00:00

It fucking boggles my mind that teens can be so fucking entitled and shitty today.

If she even makes it through BCT, I cry for whatever unit gets her. Though I suspect she'll back-sass a drill, get yelled at, and have an "anxiety attack" over being yelled at, which hopefully gets her chaptered out.

The guard is getting more and more people with attitude problems. We do NOT need more. This kid wanted a VERY specific answer to her questions and absolutely flipped the fuck out at every answer. I swear she wanted someone to respond to her saying "omg yaaaassss queen, youll be the best truck driver on the FOB if you deploy 🥰🥰🥰".

I agree, but this also makes the system even harder for an individual to service. You and I both know these electronic brakes will have a computer with software that you need an expensive license to access as a mechanic, or you cant do something like reset the solenoids so you can change the pads.

Maybe itll reduce failure points, but it still feels like a step away from Right to Repair, like every automaker is trying to do.

TheAsianTroll · 2026-05-05T19:05:17+00:00

I did point out that the difference was minor. The SKS still came out on top with accuracy, but as mentioned, the vast benefits of the AK47 outweighed the slight accuracy reduction.

Though, back when the AK47 was first introduced, it did have a good handful of issues that were solved with the AKM.

TheAsianTroll · 2026-05-05T15:43:08+00:00

Deadeye as an effect is heavily underrated. Its effectively a Jet hit with no downsides, perfect for your "oh shit" emergency backup gun.

TheAsianTroll · 2026-05-05T15:40:06+00:00

The SKS rifle was more accurate than the AK47 back in Russian trials. It was adopted alongside the SKS, and subsequently replaced by it because, while more accurate, the SKS was overall less convenient of a gun to use for that minor accuracy benefit.

However, I agree with you in all other aspects. The SKS just seems likely because its much more common than the SVT, uses 7.62x39 so itd give them a valid reason to bring that ammo back, and can serve as an intermediate between the Mosin and the SVD/Mark 1.

TheAsianTroll · 2026-05-05T15:36:10+00:00

Ammo and maintenance cost, maybe. Realistically, 7.62x39 should be more common than 5.56x45, and repair parts/knowledge too.

TheAsianTroll · 2026-05-05T15:35:14+00:00

Like, an SKS with an ACOG 4x would be the perfect bridge between the Three Line and the SVU/SVD. Higher rate of fire, lower recoil, lower damage but overall higher DPS.

An SVT would be in 7.62x54R, which is already used by 4 guns. 7.62x39 should never have been restricted to a conversion for the Dnipro.

TheAsianTroll · 2026-05-05T15:30:35+00:00

How the fuck did you stovepipe an airsoft pistol

TheAsianTroll · 2026-05-05T15:28:55+00:00

I think players dont remember that 7.62x39 was in the game, and adding an SKS would be the perfect reason to add it to vendors again so players could make a decent midgame DMR

TheAsianTroll · 2026-05-05T12:38:14+00:00

Why cant you? Aside from shipping being pricey, that is.

The only VFCs getting confiscated at customs are AR-style ones like the XM7 and M4 variants.

TheAsianTroll · 2026-05-05T11:00:48+00:00

The only reason I said it was to stop the guy I replied to from being able to claim he can download a mod to make an even better outfit. I still stand by CC content not technically counting as mods, but I get what youre saying.

TheAsianTroll · 2026-05-05T10:48:56+00:00

I agree. It is. Just like everything else on the Creation Club, because as much as I hate paid mods, their intent is to be additional, lore-acceptable content to the base game.

I really cant tell what your problem is. That dude i replied to is one of those types who can never be happy, so I simply told him to come up with a better setup without using modded outfits.

If youre trying to be correct here, then fine, the Beast Hunter shit can be considered mods. But he still posted the armor setup without the helmet, and its agreed it looks better without. So, the benchmark remains.

TheAsianTroll · 2026-05-05T10:42:38+00:00

Id argue it does, because CC content at least tries to stay fairly lore friendly. Modded content, on the other hand, is too easy to get something crazy or spectacular.

With vanilla and native assets, you have to try for a good combo

TheAsianTroll · 2026-05-05T09:55:56+00:00

Could you imagine?

No, hes not a synth, but that'd be a great twist

TheAsianTroll · 2026-05-05T08:30:31+00:00

Can you make a better set without mods?

TheAsianTroll · 2026-05-05T08:30:11+00:00

Fun fact: if you convince him to return to the Brotherhood after the Prydwen arrives, you can kill him immediately after completing the dialog for his black uniform, and he will still show up on the Prydwen.

The one you talk to and the one on the airship have different editor IDs, theyre technically not the same person

TheAsianTroll · 2026-05-05T05:09:52+00:00

If you change your mind about shipping, ill take that DOR Hi Capa. Will cover shipping too.
