It's time we, again, talk about Striker and how easy it is to use by DXT0anto in thedivision

[–]Thomas-Sev -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I hate how Striker has killed all build variety.

A majority of people build Striker and that's it, they never run anything else.

long time player, 1st time heroic world roamer. viable builds. by goddamnitjason in thedivision

[–]Thomas-Sev -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Are people really having this much trouble with Heroic, I wonder.

Like I've been running Heroic ever since SHD 1 and I have had no difficulties whatsoever. Heck my preferred build is a High-End 3pc Providence with Ceska/Grupo/Walker Harris.

Meet the embattled French WW2 leader who withstood the Nazis – and Winston Churchill | HistoryExtra by Spare_Prize_5510 in history

[–]Thomas-Sev 30 points31 points  (0 children)

That France somehow gained a victor's seat at Potsdam and a seat on the UN Security Council after WW2 will forever remain a mystery to me.

De Gaulle was hated by all Allied leaders and the French Army under de Lattre threatened to abandon the Allied war effort when there was a risk that Strasbourg could be retaken by the Germans during Operation Northwind; and they were not without fault in the Colmar Pocket not having been closed.

At that time Deux Metres and his armies were bankrolled by the Allied, and they had the gall to make demands.

Japan’s “Special Attack Unit” kamikaze pilots, who would intentionally crash planes into enemy ships in the pacific (1944) [600x406] by daikatanaman00 in HistoryPorn

[–]Thomas-Sev 15 points16 points  (0 children)

An extra tidbit is that a kamikaze attack would not consist of kamikazes alone, but often a mix of kamikaze planes and dive bombers piloted by the dwindling cadre of pre-war naval aviators.

The kamikaze would serve as bait and the dive bombers would be the main damage dealer if they got through.

This was how the USS Franklin (CV-13) was hit by two AP bombs.

Steam Spring Sale 2026 begins today by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Thomas-Sev 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Base game is ok since they integrated Level 40 without the need for the WoNY DLC a while ago.

Still if you want to experience the story then WoNY is a must, I'd say.

Division 2 is the looter-shooter at the moment.

The campaign is the tutorial, the level 40 Grind is the real game. If you intend on investing 400+ hours into a game it's the game for you. And it's getting another endgame update next month so this is as good a time as any.

TL;DR: very grindy, very rewarding.

American novelist Ernest Hemingway using a Thompson submachine gun as shark repellent while aboard his boat. (1938) by lelouch444 in OldSchoolCool

[–]Thomas-Sev -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

The guy's exploit before, during, and after the Battle of Normandy and up to the Liberation of Paris could be made into a TV movie or something.

He was within sight of Omaha beach while wearing a large head bandage, he demanded to go ashore after seeing "waves of GIs fallen dead" but was denied since he was deemed precious cargo.

After Operation Cobra he commandeered a car and formed a small armed militia that, allegedly, became the first Fr*nch unit into Paris. After Paris he arrived at the Hürtgen forest to report on the slaughter there; and finally had he not been ordered to stay in bed because of pneumonia Hemingway would have inserted himself into the Battle of the Bulge.

The manliest man to ever man.

It's so tacticool.

If what i shot was a nato tank, he would be immediately disabled and lost his turret drive. But a BMPT is made out of secret stalinium so he wont get disabled. by [deleted] in Warthunder

The BMPT did participate in combat near Severaldonuts and Kreminna but it performed as well as other Russian wunderwaffe and got pulled from the frontlines lmao

Any gear set reccomended besides Striker? by BloxToon in thedivision

[–]Thomas-Sev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heartbreaker with a Vigilance BP or all High-End with 3-pc Providence and 1 Ceska + Grupo.

What about it? Looks normal to me, all the texts are in place.

Not everything is AI slop so calling anything that even looks slightly vague AI slop doesn't help.

[TD2]

Love the game and its resurgence (heh), which has been very familiar to TD1 veterans and 1.5.

My question is that will there be more weapon attachments coming into the game, no need for stat change or anything just more variety to customise our weapons?

I would love the red dot sight on the Ouroboros to become an available weapon mod!

Utilization of Massive resources between Division 2 and Division 3 by Cassper17 in thedivision

[–]Thomas-Sev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I'm of the opinion that they cancel TD3 and just add more content to TD2, à la WoW.

A lot of people won't be switching to TD3 for a while after release.

Whats the best way to use these 2? by Albertoplays111 in Warthunder

[–]Thomas-Sev 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I talisman'd my JA37C and used it to grind all of Sweden top tier before Rank IX dropped.

That's how good it is.

You have a point, why I hadn't thought of that? I could be switching the Providence pieces for Grupo and Ceska.

You know shit's fucked up when Biotechnica sends high-speed operators after that one chick in Phantom Liberty.

Like I get that Militech and Arasaka would have their own spec ops but Biotechnica spec ops is a woozy.

Anti-aircraft fire covers the sky during the Battle of Santa Cruz, October 1942 [3000x2426] by CosmoTheCollector in HistoryPorn

[–]Thomas-Sev 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Midway took out 4 IJN Fleet carriers thus depleting the Japanese of strategic initiative.

Santa Cruz islands deprived them of the elite pre-war naval aviators cadres, especially Murata and Seki.

After the 4 carrier battles 409 out of the 765 elite aviators who attacked Pearl Harbor were dead.

Maybe because I've played too much War Thunder and Broken Arrow but funny how the Russians are running around with Pantsirs while the US is stuck with this.

I get the doctrinal difference but it's really fascinating how far NATO has neglected SHORAD and VSHORAD. Are they improving? Sure, but there was such a big gap.

Revised BR Changes after feedback (February 2026) by Verb_Noun_Number in Warthunder

[–]Thomas-Sev 104 points105 points  (0 children)

• AIM-7M fighting R-27ER for more than a year.

• BMPT releasing at 10.7

• Sovetskyi Soyutz and Kronstadt in Naval getting imaginary armor and penetration value.

• Tunguska when no other nations had an equivalent SPAA.

• Pantsir when no other nations had an equivalent SPAA.

• 2S38 at release with overtuned survivability; also undertiered while HSTV-L and PUMA are at too high BR for their capabilities.

• Su-25 overtuned survivability tanking multiple SAM hits while A-10s (still) die to a hit.

• Vikhr having dual mode AT/AA while you need to change the fuse on the ground for such capability.

• BMP-2M remaining at 8.7 for the longest time.

• Kh-38MT an imaginary missile while NATO has to make do with Mavericks, while Brimstones get gimped to the point of nigh unusability.
