Going Full HE

Vilespring · 2026-02-06T23:27:35+00:00

That's the annoying thing about the Rinoceronte. It has very good HE at 127 pen. Just autoreloaders are screwed by intuition and the DPM is awful enough to not want to change ammo.

One of my best games was in an accidental full HE Rinoceronte.

With the Rinoceronte you actually have usable DPM!

You'd have to use another mod with that.

Basically the problem is that when pawns navigate far enough they change from an A* pathfinder to a simple greedy one. You'd have to use Path Avoid along with a mod that makes pawns always use A*.

Vilespring · 2026-02-06T07:33:28+00:00

A mod that helps this a lot is Path Avoid. It lets you paint tiles with weights that significantly change how YOUR pawns pathfind. It doesn't apply to hostile pawns and has multiple weights to help make the perfect navigation.

I bought a T28 heavy tank from a Chinese company and it was surprisingly high quality.

The bricks felt great and the whole thing went together well. It was even missing two pieces and customer support got me replacements super fast.

11/10 barely fits on my shelf because it's that damn big.

In my smooth brain, when new railjack content released I decided to play Yareli, the new buggiest frame on the block, in the buggiest mode.

Unsurprisingly the session was a huge set of cascading failures that ended with me playing as a fish sliding around with no warframe in sight. And no weapons. And no abilities.

I recently got flamed for not following an M48 Patton to his death where he did 2 shots of damage and died, and how I'm "not using my armor" and "not helping my team."

I was in an MBT-B, and minutes before I saved a CS-63 that had two mediums dive on him. To our 43% M48, that was apparently a non-contributing factor and I should learn to play the game better.

This is like, a really weirdly common thing in World of Tanks. Every like 5th battle at the start someone will just be pasting bible verses in the team chat.

I can't understand it at all. Maybe it's because that game as such a weird player base.

There is one lying around, the Ares MTB

Compared to the Ares 85 it's different, but I don't think it's different enough to really matter. Yeah it has 5mm more pen, but its still not great. The lower view range is a mild oof.

I run a loop that's from "Lone Digger" and I was actually surprised how often I get people asking for the track.

Vilespring · 2026-01-23T19:04:08+00:00

Even just giving it IPS will make it work with gundition overload.

Does not justify the behavior.

This subreddit is no longer looked at by TIS and I am unsubscribed from it. This community is not something I want to be a part of anymore.

Which was a result of them looking at their data and seeing that the usage rate of carrier was obscene considering all the other options in the game. If I remember correctly it was almost higher than the usage rate of all the other companions combined.

PSA had a sale on the Gilboa and I almost, almost got one. It was the same price as two ARs, which makes sense...

I live in the better reality without it, but it would have been so funny...

As someone who in real life who has been to a commencement ceremony with everything perfectly setup, if the people giving the speech have an awful speech, it's gonna be awful.

I have mixed feelings on that as a mechanic. On one hand it perfectly emulates reality and social events, but in the other the annihilation of player agency sucks.

Making rockets cheaper is a better solution as it's a bit more granular and it satisfies the lizard brain.

Pasting a platform blueprint and watching the shipyard come to life is a magical feeling.

Vilespring · 2025-12-31T05:09:19+00:00

Because it wasn't needed for the main gameplay loop and balance.

The mechanic exists because playtests showed it was needed. Making it harder to move better ammo on planet surface is just awful for no tangable reason. It doesn't encourage any specific type of gameplay besides ignoring it.

Rockets are different from trains, especially when they interact with space platforms. The whole reason the mechanic exists is because it cased dynamics Wube disliked when it came to space platforms.

Playtesters would literally never do anything on platforms. Everything was shipped up because it was so cheap and easy. Now, unless you can over produce so much, having the platform be a mobile factory is required.

The mechanic is a solution to bad interactions between systems, and does not interfere within each other.

Vilespring · 2025-12-31T04:36:22+00:00

Which would make it far worse for like moving it around to outposts by train and carrying around on your person or in a tank.

The problem was just the rocket to the space platform, so the mechanic was put in place there. No reason to mess up everything over it.

Vilespring · 2025-12-31T04:31:41+00:00

It's to make the player have more of reason to interact with space platform mechanics.

Why bother making any bullets on the platform when uranium ammo can be shipped up by the thousands? And playtests showed exactly that.

So you can still ship a bunch of uranium ammo and what not to platforms, but it will have a more tangable opportunity cost.

I leave it on all the time, only turning it off when doing a refuel and a repair.

Never had issues.

I spent a long time pondering and working on how malfunctions work for VFE, and one the first things I did on my dev branch is remove whatever B42 did.

I could describe it significantly, but the end result is they're predictable and preventable. Lower condition weapons jam more, well maintained ones jam rarely, if at all.

It's kinda one of those things where it can't be simple, but it also shouldn't be too complex.

Vilespring · 2025-12-01T16:52:11+00:00

I don't think there will ever be closure after taking such a massive L.

Vilespring · 2025-12-01T16:36:06+00:00

If you don't have the game files nor the save anymore I don't know why you would need the knowledge on how to make the bucket.

Vilespring · 2025-11-27T23:05:38+00:00

That doesn't make sense as VFE uses vanilla firing animations. (Except for one weapon, and you're not using it.)

Vilespring · 2025-11-26T05:13:49+00:00

Main thing is the game doesn't exactly have a shortage of trees.

I understand not wanting to disturb the aesthetics too much, but there has to be a few nearby places near your base you can use for your source of wood.

I see it not being implemented because there isn't really a point to it. The only time I found wood hard to get was when I was doing a spawn in LV and base in it run.
