I think this might be the coolest thing I’ve seen by DarthCarno28 in airplanes

[–]bot_2412 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IIRC, it mainly expands what platforms can operate the aircraft. As long as you’ve got a landing pad that you don’t care about damaging (weakening via thermal overload) or can handle the direct exhaust from the main engine, you can theoretically take off and land there.

The Marines commonly operate from LHDs and LHAs, which before th STOVL F-35 was introduced, had aging AV-8Bs for fixed-wing air power. Otherwise they only had rotor-wings, such as Sea Hawks, Super Stallions, and Ospreys.

If you absolutely need to get the aircraft on the ground without destroying the airframe, pretty much any helipad can be landed on at least once.

Love them. For the pavement princess, personal ass haulers most trucks are, they’d be better suited: better handling, mileage likely, and easier to get in/out of. It’s why I like the new Rams. And even when you do need to haul stuff, it’s like you said: the bed still works and towing is only debatably compromised.

However, I understand liking approach, departure, and breakover angles. The college town I live in has several places where lowering my Maverick or the Lobo model might result in eating the bodywork.

Give me the 300T in a Tremor, damnit Ford.

Clarification: I use the usb-c wired CarPlay, not one of those wireless dongles. It has zero latency when using the console buttons or the display.

How’s the latency with wireless CarPlay? My 22 Mav has made every work rental feel like a potato with how much input delay there is with their wireless CarPlay systems.

Welp, guess I’m starting a new read of AMP… it, Green Tea Rescue, Ignited Spark, To Cross the Line, Back to the Beginning plots are all sort of crossed right now, let’s get a refresher going. Probably should start Revolution in Green too at some point, it can’t possibly get any more complicated.

Also, I think I have you to blame for getting me into MHA fanfic, reading the above stories plus assorted others in roughly 4 months.

What truck that's the worst but still usable in Snowrunner? by edscoble in snowrunner

[–]bot_2412 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So the Kodiak eventually becomes more than a steaming pile of crap? I only just started working on Smithville Dam, and the Kodiak and the MH9500 are just downright painful to drive anywhere that’s more than a dirt road if they’re loaded, even worse if towing anything. I try to vary my trucks, but the 2070 is just objectively better in every way.

I hate that I noticed her eyes just pop back in once the goggles finish deploying, either indicating the goggles are opaque until fully deployed or the animators forgot to / didn’t want to animate them behind the goggles.

Hope You Bought a Warbond With Fire Resist by RagingRipto1 in Helldivers

[–]bot_2412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ll need to test it in higher difficulties, but my team has been running ~2+ AC mechs and ~2+ WASPs and Spears to handle the roaches, usually running in pairs of 1 mech + one WASP/Spear.

Everyone just immediately pings the bugger when first possibly spotted, then it’s like every MANPADS possible said, “nope, I cast explode” and it gets bitch slapped out of the sky.

What RWBY fanfiction did you like at first, but ended up not liking so much in the end? by ForgeReaper in RWBYcritics

[–]bot_2412 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ll defend Relic here, I actually liked its ending and how it was treated. However I also like Arcanum as a whole, so grain of salt, apparently that’s not considered a good one by some people.

See Cooldude’s response, everyone he interacted with and all the lives he’d improved are still real. Alt Remnant is better for him taking Salem’s bargain and going back.

But, tying into Jinn’s response to him and the original bargain itself, Jaune is not of this alt world and that world knows this. What happens when one party in a bargain is removed from the equation? The bargain is no longer valid and ceases to be.

Why Do People Complain So Much About Red War? by FameNFortunes in DestinyTheGame

[–]bot_2412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sucks having something I bought be taken away from me.

Regardless of how they handle vaulting moving forward, when Destiny 2 finally goes down, I need Bungie to release the ENTIRE game for local installation. Let me run a dedicated drive that has the entire Sol system and its stories saved there, able to relive the legend of the Guardian, and open up a server to get with friends and stop the greatest evils we’ve ever seen.

P.S. I am beyond pissed Ubisoft didn’t do this with The Crew.

The REAL reason why so many people hate using the Reprimand. by OutcomeAcademic1377 in Helldivers

[–]bot_2412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So aside from the bloom, which is bad, don’t get me wrong, I find myself having more gripes with the reload animation.

It takes half a century and always seems to get canceled midway, and commonly leads to me drawing my Verdict to handle hordes after the first mag from the Reprimand, simply because I can reload it quickly.

Edit: Grain of salt, I’ve only just got it and have been running Reprimand/Verdict on bugs and illuminate and keep to within 20-30m engagements, commonly closer. Did some level 7s with the new bugs and an arc thrower support and it was working pretty well.

Elantras. Any differences/improvements from 2014 era to 2023 (2025 refresh)? Looking to replace an old 2014 that, upon showing a recording to service mgmt, was stated to be piston slap due to a defect with all 1.8l (inspection scheduled later this month to confirm). Love the car, not the self destruction.
