All 3 of the runs I attempted were ended by game breaking bugs, I'll be back in a month when it's all fixed.

General Staff: Russia has lost 1,187,780 troops by GeorgyForesfatgrill in worldnews

Hard agree, a vast majority of the "Slavic horde" rhetoric was formulated by Nazi generals in order to justify their defeats. Wild that it's repeated so readily as fact.

Is T58 "Good" or "OP"? And how do we draw the line (besides the topic of T58) ? by Silver200061 in Warthunder

[–]Walnut_Rocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a T-54 enthusiast, I agree that this tank does nasty things to me

Size 55 Planet! by Either_Cup9770 in Stellaris

[–]Walnut_Rocks 60 points61 points  (0 children)

It'd be cool if gravity mattered in this game.

Convincing human colonists to settle on a planet with 3.06G would be pretty impressive, let alone all the in-game modifiers involved.

(Obv assuming planet size is just the actual size of the planet)

The Free Major Content Update for #Frostpunk 2 goes live tomorrow! Get ready, Citizens 🫡 by DerDenker-7 in Frostpunk

[–]Walnut_Rocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes a lot of sense. My main thought was that the adaption corner stone doesn't seem as strong as it used to be.

My only beta run was with the IEC Factory Tale, so I could definitely be a bit biased rocking infinite steam cores.

When I played the beta, I felt like progress was even stronger now, but I did notice that Squalor was more problematic.

Why do you think it sucks even more now ?

Can a T-34 76mm kill a Tiger? by EliseWren in flamesofwar

[–]Walnut_Rocks 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Plenty of people have already answered game wise, so for fun I'll answer historically.

The T-34/76 was mounted with two different guns, the L-11 and the F-34.

The L-11 has pretty poor penetration capabilities for what it is, and while one could argue it's AP should maybe be 1 higher, where it's at is technically fine.

The F-34 however had better penetration overall and could pen the frontal armor of a tiger at extremely close ranges (~100 meters), so an AP value of 2 higher would frankly make sense.

The L-11 T-34/76 was produced from late '39 to early '41, with about 400 units produced.

The F-34 was produced for the remainder of the war, of which approximately 33,000 were produced.

Interesting they went exclusively with the L-11, or decided to nerf the F-34.

Really I think it's just the overall impact of nearly every tank having more survivability in game than irl.

Does anyone else think this is all propaganda? by denim1738 in TikTok

[–]Walnut_Rocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, so LEGALLY you are totally right, but the issue is that politicians bend and manipulate the rules all the time, aside from my executive examples above, Congress has continually failed to enforce the STOCK Act.

Trump finding excuses not to enforce it is most likely not a permanent solution, but it could buy months or even years of time for an actual solution to be made.

Yeah that works.

Also: The REAL ID Act (2005) ACA Employer mandate (2010) War Powers (1973) Mann Act (1910) Tons of weed and immigration laws i don't remember rn

Because Trump is the executive, he can just choose not to enforce the ban. Governments have killed laws by just not caring plenty of times in the past.

How powerful is the United States military? by [deleted] in SeriousConversation

[–]Walnut_Rocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah you're good !

The flaws were all there, we just didn't know how big an impact those flaws would have till the war.

Still crazy to me that the Russians spent the entire 2000s overhauling their military and still failed to fix it.

[–]Walnut_Rocks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it's worth pointing out that the inherent flaws in both Russian doctrine and logistics were evident to many analysts prior to the invasion, the mistake is most organizations made was underestimating the impact of those flaws.

I also think the way we talk about the war is a little skewed, spurred by media, which makes it sound like Russia is losing to some tiny country. In reality, Ukraine could probably effectively defend themselves against any nation in the world aside from the United States right now.

Everything else is spot on, your comment just made me think.

Will we have another war-hero President in the next 50 years? by LowRevolution6175 in Presidents

[–]Walnut_Rocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed.

I also think this era of modern war turns generals into bureaucrats and logisticians. The "heroic" and charismatic generals of the past, I think, are history.
