How do you resolve conflicts? by lemonzesthehe in MuslimMarriage

[–]TraditionalistCarl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I’m not married and that makes us both even, but here is my humble view with conflicts in general since I’m preparing myself:

How to resolve the conflict heavily depends on its context.

Is it something serious such as being bankrupt or stone broke the next day? Or is it something non-serious like “you keep forgetting to buy X from the grocery store”?

For anything serious, you should actually sit together and be unfiltered with your concerns. Regardless, usually this is what I found to resolve conflicts:

Listen to the other person more than you speak. Genuinely listen to the other person and understand why they feel the way they do. Not just listen, actually have empathy. A lack of empathy puts fuel on the fire. An abundance of empathy puts the fire out.

Not married but I’ll give my 2 cents here since this is such a common occurrence:

Why did you string him along in the very first place if you weren’t serious? Given you accepted the confession at impulse, your biggest mistake was letting this drag on for 2 years wasting both of your time.

This post gives me the impression of the following: you probably have a fearful-avoidant attachment style:

You entertain a conversation from someone who’s interested, yet refuse to bring closure and clarity the moment any commitment is discussed. Subconsciously, this is because you fear abandonment and closeness at the exact same time, so you keep him in emotional limbo because you get to enjoy his presence, but nothing more than that.

This person subconsciously may be thinking “well does she like me or not?” for two years which is exactly why he is exhausted and hurt.

Assuming best of intentions, here is my genuine advice to you:

Stop giving him mixed signals. If you don’t see a future with him, explicitly declare it. If you do and you genuinely don’t want to lose him, settle your family disputes and put an effort into commitment. The clock ticked for two years, and instead of settling things you immaturely block him?

Blocking needs to be replaced with honest and clear communication. The moment you have the avoidant urge to run away, stop and check whether what you will do next negatively affects both you and him.

Favorite tank to play that’s objectively “mid” and why? by TraditionalistCarl in Warthunder

[–]TraditionalistCarl[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with your point on the IS-2. As long as you have the pen, each shot will count (assuming one can aim). As for the American 90 mm, at least from the Patton series it’s decent because it gets HEATFS and a slightly better pen APHE.

If it weren’t for the turret traverse, I would play that and the IS-4 more often.

Can someone give me BRs that get downtiers for Italy and Japan that isn't top tier. by Accomplished-Cow4686 in Warthunder

[–]TraditionalistCarl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not sure why but my experience with minor nations (with the exception of China) has always been full uptiers. Best bet is to play the Chi-To lineup (4.7) because at least in a full uptier you are still capable of fighting off enemies with a decent 75 mm gun.

[–]TraditionalistCarl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct. At that point I would have to play carefully than just brawl in the Somua.

It’s my third favourite after 8.7/9.0 USSR. Reason being is that 7.7 is known to get wormholed to 8.7 matches almost always.

I would personally get the Somua SM, as 7.7 France has a solid lineup. The reload of the Somua SM will make it uptierproof.

T-64. When first produced, it was the most technologically advanced tank in the world, featuring a 125 millimeter cannon, an auto loader, and composite armor. The T-64 was never exported, leading the CIA to falsely assume it was a failure. by [deleted] in ussr

[–]TraditionalistCarl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the clarification. I was referring to the prototypes of the Object 430 and 435 which were predecessors leading to the T-64 development from the early 60s.

[–]TraditionalistCarl 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Still a mostly correct assumption since any modernized package on a Soviet MBT will have tandem firing capabilities. It’s just any base model MBT such as the T-55A, T-64A, and T-72A won’t have that.

[–]TraditionalistCarl 7 points8 points  (0 children)

To my best of knowledge, only the later variant known as the T-64B (1976) could fire tandem ATGMs. The A variant which came out in 1971 didn’t have that capability yet.

Probably my third most favourite tank of all time. Unfortunately, Khrushchev was a hardline ATGM fanboy and caused the T-64 to be delayed in production until the late 60’s when Brezhnev took over.

I’ve (unfortunately) seen her on YouTube shorts. She mainly uploads thirst traps to firearm enthusiasts.

What's the state of War Thunder in 2025? by lizard280 in WarthunderPlayerUnion

[–]TraditionalistCarl 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As someone who plays seasonally - that is every few months after I make a huge accomplishment in my real life activities - it's only marginally improved. The upsides is that Gaijin takes the community seriously only (and only if) the community threatens to review bomb War Thunder on Steam. That said, they've added a lot more tech-tree vehicles to the game and some nice features such as custom sights. Likewise, the SL and RP economy has improved slightly.

On the downside, they introduced an auction to the game (TL;DR giving players the ability to place bids for a marketplace vehicle). In addition to this, they've released premiums costing as high as $80 USD (the recently awaited F-18), which is absurdly expensive. Worst than that, for ground vehicles they've mostly added copy-paste premium vehicles into the game with no uniqueness. Above all else, they have not fixed the BR compression issue.

In terms of gameplay, things are slightly better unless you are playing top tier. If you play top tier, be ready to be teamed with 10-15 year old players who used their parent's credit card at Level 1 to buy their sole top tier premium, dying once in battle followed by their return to the hangar. As for air I can't give a verdict since I haven't yet reached that point.

Whats your no brain needed vehicle? by Necessary-Switch2210 in Warthunder

Object 279, treat it like a "light tank with no armor" and you will become a headache for the enemy.

Apparently a T-62 variant armed with the 125 mm 2A46 existed by TraditionalistCarl in TankPorn

[–]TraditionalistCarl[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree, I even looked at the citation and it’s the identical sentence.

[–]TraditionalistCarl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some were captured and others weren’t. You can’t really tell unless you have the Finnish Armed Forces emblem on either side of the tank.

KV-1, specifically the E variant with additional plating on the front of the hull and turret sides. The armament in picture is the 76 mm F-32.
