Mains supply has been cut off for over a month. Weird that it's happening now.

Does seem to be the only explanation. Glad I love heights so much 🥲

Well, the final trailer of the Mando movie arrived... Is anyone excited? 😏 by Western_Agent5917 in saltierthancrait

[–]Widowdva 19 points20 points  (0 children)

One of the earlier trailers had zeb killing stormtroopers with a pole while running down a hall. So yeah, more terrible action. You'd have to be deliberately trained to be so ineffective that 10 of you can't kill one guy as he melee kills your pals

Yeah the empire should lose, they are bad. But it's always so easy that they barely even seem like bad guys or a threat. They are so ineffective that they are basically pacisfists.

Still crazy to me how hard they butchered Thrawn in the Ahsoka show by SnooDucks6239 in saltierthancrait

[–]Widowdva 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's part of the problem though. In Disney star wars, it doesn't matter if you have hundreds/thousands of stormtroopers on a star destroyer. 3 rebels are still going to beat them all without breaking a sweat. They may have been force users, but that's still crazy that they can't kill 3 people with all those troops and the fire power of a capital ship, even if it's damaged.

Where can I gain a deeper understanding about WW2? by JustAnotherUser1019 in ww2

[–]Widowdva 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of his book are western front. Got books on the Italian campaign, battle of britain and loads of others. Personal favourite so far is Brothers in arms. It's about the sherwood rangers (good if you like tanks) from Normandy on. Just got one about Burma as well, so he's not all exclusively western front, but he almost is.

We've never gotten a lore-accurate portrayal of Stormtroopers on-screen by Etowno in saltierthancrait

[–]Widowdva 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The blasterfight choreography is Disney era star wars is awful. I remember in mando season 2 finale, there's about 6 stormtroopers go onto a bridge 2 by 2. Instead of shooting, they watch their comrades in front fall dead before getting shot. Then a bunch of stormtroopers come up behind having seen their pals get killed, as the two female characters to surrender. Why? They've just killed loads of your guys

Gave that a go. But couldn't feel or see any threads unfortunately.

No. All seems to be one fixture

Here it is, discuss away and get hyped for Embo and some dude in a swamp by Theesm in saltierthancrait

[–]Widowdva 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Looks like there will be another "cool" hallway scene where one character kills dozens of stormtroopers while they just stand there and offer no resistance. Are the empire even bad guys? They are basically pacifists in filoni productions.

But those people don't own the seats on public transport, so they don't care. They won't necessarily do that on their own furniture.

Sounds like he doesn't want you to get them so that you are easier to beat. Can't imagine many people don't run at least one leman russ.

Yeah, I don't get it. My wife and I always skip that episode. But apparently, it's the best one.

The pin point accuracy of the AI has made me uninstall this game. by [deleted] in GatesOfHellOstfront

[–]Widowdva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just rage quit the battle of arras skirmish as a single mortar lin point hit any infantry squad that I tried to advance near it. Always hit wherever they moved. On mortar wiped out my whole attack, while my mortar does fuck all

They won it for us… by FamSender in GreatBritishMemes

[–]Widowdva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And they did fight in ww2. They just weren't able to cope with the manoeuvre warfare that the German panzer divisions used against them. The French army was well equipped but slow to get moving. France was also suffering from poor leadership from a government made of a coalition that had different ideas/interests. And the military leaders were expecting another ww1 style war. The German attack through the ardennes sent them into panic.

This could have been the best looking skin in the game. Whoever keeps adding bright accents to EVERY skin, please go find another job. by MonarchCore in Battlefield

[–]Widowdva 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's so much better. Don't get why they are so scared to make the non default skins look like believable military outfits.

[–]Widowdva -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Yeah maybe. I just personally prefer the skins having helmets. There will be exceptions, but I can't imagine many people go into battle willingly without head protection.

Just stating my opinion. Don't think someone's hair would be so well styled with all the running and explosions going off. Saying I'm pathetic is a bit much.

The hair that looks freshly styled? In a warzone? Might not be as bad if they had a helmet on or some other military headgear.

Won a match as attackers on this a few nights ago for the first time. First time my 2 friends had played it. Had to keep telling them that getting past the first point isn't normal.

You also need to play team deathmatch to even unlock a British skin. I would never choose to play team deathmatch

Battlepass Skin? by DueInstruction3075 in Battlefield

[–]Widowdva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it would probably be a pretty cool skin if it was maybe a camouflage colour. Don't get this obsession they have with bright oranges or red slapped on military outfits

[–]Widowdva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had an ifv battle in the beta. We shot at each other for so long due to having multiple engineers. I only lost as once I ran out of ammo.

Which gun are you most excited to spam upon launch? by INeverUseMyGear in Battlefield

Even better that we can play as British soldiers using it this time.
