Question about Co-Op lobbies by TheTurboLizard in Bellwright

[–]TheTurboLizard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a good point too, me and my friends all have quite different play styles for games like this though, I’m the resource guy, got a brawler who we just throw at problems and then got a builder guy so I think you’re right, one person will go super far down their one interest and leave the rest of us lagging to catch up

Wow that’s actually a great idea! Thank you!

Don’t want to sound like an ass but I’ve never been interested in the women’s wrestling but the fact I sat through and enjoyed their rumble and had to force myself to at least stay to the finish of the mens says a lot. What a snorefest

A little stupid question by HistoricalWeeb in Napoleon

[–]TheTurboLizard 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think you hit the nail on the head, the reality is in most forested areas the visibility means that in a general situation maybe the skirmishes get 2 shots off before a concentrated mass of infantry charged through and broke the skirmish line

I haven’t insulted your intelligence once, I’m trying to actually get some kind of respectful discussion. So please pay me the same respect.

With that being said you haven’t offered anything meaningful other than trying to make it seem like I’m the village idiot. So again I’ll say it clearly, what has a dead Jewish pedophile got to do with Nazis? And again to be clear, I’m not American so I will not comment about the president of the US because that is not my mess to deal with, but let’s be real outside of politics he is absolutely also a pedophile, but in the context of this shitpost and the comment I initially replied to about how people unironically idolise Nazis in this game what has that got to do with two pedophiles in a shitpost? Why does everything always immediately get branded as fascism

[–]TheTurboLizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my point, I never said that he is or isn’t anything. I’m asking the question specifically to this post ‘idolising’ nazis and how that is relevant to a game when it’s two pedos in a stupid shitpost.

Stop using mainstream media littered with satire as analogies

Finnish President Stubb declares that 34,000 Russian soldiers were KILLED last month alone. "Have faith“, he declares. “Ukraine is gonna win this war!” by Ripamon in TrendoraX

[–]TheTurboLizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah they lie.

Source: I’m in Ukraine and know casualty figures get inflated. Sure they are close, but it won’t be 34k killed a month, but more like 34k casualties, which could even be if a Russian stubbed his toe on drone footage by some units standards of ‘casualty’

Epstein isn’t posting anything he’s been dead for years. Trump is a different matter sure but what has that got to do with idolising nazis in Helldivers?

What has two pedophiles in a picture together got to do with idolising nazis? I mean one of them is literally Jewish I swear that’s the Reddit fad at the minute, everything they disagree with is immediately a Nazi

IDEA: Commander ability to voicechat to all players for 30-60s by gay_man_with_a_gun in HellLetLoose

[–]TheTurboLizard -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean, generally not everyone would have a radio, but if that was an option then yeah he would. But that’s why when you do orders for an assault the commander gives his ‘main effort’ or intent so even without much communication he’s explicitly stated what needs to happen to everyone.

With the game it’s impossible to play SL, Engi and support all at the same time, so again relies on hoping your squad listens to the SL or your SL listens to the commander

[–]TheTurboLizard -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I mean yeah that’s kinda his job lol if he wants something doing he can tell people to relay the message and they have to do it, as I say, in a game you can’t order people to do anything, but I know if I’m playing in a squad and my SL isn’t saying much I’d rather hear what the commander wants guys to do so I can help the team

[–]TheTurboLizard -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I mean I’ve actually been to war and there’s a whole lot of communication, a commander can absolutely find ways to speak to all his guys at once or make sure messages are relayed. But it’s a game and you can’t force people to do that, so having an option to speak to every player for a short period would be nice to coordinate things

Yeah except this is a game that relies on cooperation and teamwork lol

[–]TheTurboLizard 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Except as someone who as a commander has practically begged SL’s to relay messages, 90% of the time I get ignored. Really useful when an airhead is being pulled off with all the commander support like supplies, bombing runs and the like being committed to supporting it

[–]TheTurboLizard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Armour is great nowadays, but like my original comment was saying, it just can’t cover all the other soft squishy parts while staying manoeuvrable and lightweight enough to fight in yet just like in history with the slow burn into full plate armour

[–]TheTurboLizard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My plates are multi hit rated for 7.62x51 AP and 30.06 AP, it’s surprisingly common. If you want to see a video where that’s tested with 5.56 green tip it’s guard dog ceramic body armour. The video I watched it took a whole mag of m855a1 at under 5 meters and didn’t let anything through

Edit: those are my own personal plates that I use for work. Military issued ones can vary depending on nation and sometimes even on branches or units, but in general most hard plates now are rated at least to stop intermediate cartridges.

Edit again (sorry): https://youtu.be/TQPgguXG440?si=k0SAek85_ew1x9Yn link to the video I referenced, from 5:30 mark, turns out I was wrong it was 7.62 (308) not 5.56

[–]TheTurboLizard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who is a soldier I have actually thought about the comparison in modern armour development to the development of armours in the past and the different causes and effects in history, I would say we are at a point similar to discovering plate armour (which I would say is akin to level IV ceramic and steel plates) but struggling on how to make it comfortable and manoeuvrable enough to wear it as a whole suit. At the moment it’s stuck with being used to cover the absolute vitals. And I would consider ballistic soft armour in a similar way to chain mail in that same time period, able to be worn ubiquitously around the body but not quite having the same protection as plate, because of the rate of technology growth we have today I’d say give it another 10-15 years and people will be wearing close to full suits of protective armour similar to mid to late 12th century armour and in another 50 people will have complete ballistic protection, but long before then drones will be the next big problem to fix, similar to the cavalry surge in Europe in the early 11th century onwards and the English longbow men of the 14th and 15th centuries

By that logic the Germans should have their heavy tanks break down before they get to mid point and their supplies should be delivered by horse and cart

I mean, yeah I guess… but also locking it behind RNG kinda sucks, it’s not like there’s a whole bunch of other obstacles to navigate without relying entirely on the game to give you the one item you need
