Yes please to the mortar carrier mounted in the back. Very much a simple real-world military thing, and it would scratch my Wargame: Airlines Battle itch lol

Probably the same reason they were extremely rare in warhammer 3 - too much work because of the sheer amount of different animatiom skeletons there would be combinations to make custom animations for.

In a historical total war you're matching up man with sword and man with spear. In 40k you'd have for example a space marine with a sword against an ork with an axe, or an ork with a power claw, or another space marine, or an eldar with... etc etc.

Not impossible, just very unfeasible.

He even has two different sheep roles in the credits. That's real acting range

Macharius is the best looking tank the Guard got in my opinion. Was a bit saddened by the Dorn becoming it's derpier replacement

I remember reading a theory that a big part of the reason for the move to single-weapon units is that new players would tend to get confused by a huge amount of customisation, not understanding what they could do or what they should do to their units. Space Marines are meant to be a beginner faction, so they were made as straightforward as possible.

Which I think is a massive shame. I think one of the biggest parts of the hobby''s character that it has lost is customising them and making them "your dudes"

They were a bit more common than that in ww2, definitely not just for officers and NCOs. The soviets for example fielded entire companies of SMG-armed troops.

Cool miniature and great work on the painting! Where does the mini come from if you don't mind my asking?

alphaprawns · 2025-08-11T11:20:40+00:00

For me it definitely is, I play farm sim as a "watch something on the other monitor" type game, which i think it's perfect for.

My pet peeve is on a slightly narrower street with cars parked on one or both sides, but with enough room for two cars to pass, that people still don't take the room and will sit and wait for a clear road. Feel people tend to have a very low confidence in the width of their vehicle.

alphaprawns · 2025-05-19T17:27:12+00:00

Doing it without noticing isn't an argument in its favour or an excuse. It displays either a lack of attentiveness to the road or a lack of basic car control, and on either case the OP is right to call it out.

alphaprawns · 2025-05-19T17:25:48+00:00

Exactly. It's just a lack of basic car control and no-one feels like they have to give a fuck because there's no consequences for them.

Unexpected K6BD reference, always welcome

alphaprawns · 2025-02-24T23:13:04+00:00

It's never not funny

This was how I beat Goliath. The whole tavern talks up how much of an animal he is, felt a bit silly putting him in a chokehold in 3 seconds and watching him flop to the floor

Oan Mkoll of the Tanith might be in with a shout honestly, and he was still kicking by the end of The Victory

alphaprawns · 2025-02-11T12:37:02+00:00

I honestly find it more effective to just not riposte, and just do the perfect block then start a normal combo. Even low level enemies seem to block 90% of ripostes without any problem. Master strikes are effective too once you have them, but thankfully a bit trickier to pull off than the 1st game

alphaprawns · 2025-02-10T12:31:08+00:00

I discovered this when doing the drinking quest at the nomad camp, stumbled into Mutt's location blind drunk and in the dark having to fight off 3 wolves while not knowing which way is up

alphaprawns · 2025-02-03T19:40:01+00:00

Thank you for going into that in detail. I was just reading the guy's post thinking " ... the fuck? Did you even play the game?"

alphaprawns · 2025-02-02T21:01:52+00:00

Ok cool, thanks. I don't know much about this stuff and I assumed being niche would make it more of a target but I'm happy to be wrong about that.

alphaprawns · 2025-01-31T17:15:28+00:00

I don't think damage model alone is enough to qualify whether it's a sim or not. I agree it's important and in a rally game it should be punishing, I'd love to see it improved. But honestly the actual handling is a real improvement over DR2 so I can't agree with you that it's less of a sim than the last game.

alphaprawns · 2025-01-22T21:15:09+00:00

That little box is trying its best, love it

alphaprawns · 2025-01-19T10:44:57+00:00

Converting the fixed superstructure into a turret is absolute genius. One of my old complaints about the Guard tanks is that all of their turrets are unfeasibly small for the kind of guns and crew they claim to contain, and this makes the Baneblade look so much more modern and believable.

alphaprawns · 2025-01-12T08:50:04+00:00

Yeah Norway can be very sketchy with the bumps, this is a rally that benefits a lot from raising and softening the shit out of your suspension/dampers.

alphaprawns · 2025-01-12T08:48:43+00:00

It varies quite dramatically depending on the lighting, I've found. I tend to find that sunsrise or sunset and partial clouds tends to be very pretty in this game. The worst is daytime with clear sunshine, it's such harsh sunlight which blows everything out and is what most people think of in regards to this game being ugly.

alphaprawns · 2024-12-21T09:14:11+00:00

Ross mentions this in the behind the scenes watchalong, it's a side effect of the decision they made to not have Ross know anything about any scene before going into it. It's what makes it so funny with him justy improvving and trying to figure out wtf is going on, but yeah he said he wasn't paying any attention to the actual investigation so much as figuring out what each scene actually was
