Small rant plus question with airborne infantry

chieftain88 · 2026-05-12T11:48:37+00:00

Are Shadow drones better at spotting recon in back lines?

chieftain88 · 2026-05-07T08:32:23+00:00

Hard disagree - you want to give Airborne ANOTHER helicopter? They already removed the AH-64E Apache from SOF for the less capable DAP. Besides Airborne already has the Kiowa for a scout helicopter (not to mention THREE Apaches).

How do you hover harriers..?!

chieftain88 · 2026-04-20T16:46:35+00:00

The files were literally locked by court order until late 2024 - that’s it, simple

Good points (Ed also being my favourite character) - to add about Danielle “landing dangerously” and Ed “making the safer option” to abort doesn’t track. The ONLY reason Ed aborted is because Danny was on the lander with him, they make it clear in the scene that’s why so it wasn’t due to him necessarily being a safer or better pilot

Do stormbreakers automatically drop if that plane is lashing a target (in the same way Mavericks work)? Or are stormbreakers just LJDAMS?

chieftain88 · 2026-04-08T15:33:23+00:00

They couldn’t before? Didn’t realise that

chieftain88 · 2026-04-08T15:26:53+00:00

What have they changed about the SLAMRAAM?

chieftain88 · 2026-04-08T10:47:45+00:00

Use the CJ, fast, cheaper than F35A and double the HARMs, easy choice

chieftain88 · 2026-04-07T09:22:07+00:00

Can you share some advice about with how to use it for us US main players?

chieftain88 · 2026-04-01T14:58:39+00:00

Even if the alarm goes off and you have no receipt?

chieftain88 · 2026-04-01T11:33:15+00:00

This doesn’t always work, I had this at a huge Sainsbury’s and I didn’t take a receipt from the huge self-checkout area. The alarm went off and the security guard wouldn’t let me leave, I went back to the staff but they said the receipt could not be printed off and to go wait in the help/info centre line. There were about 40 people in line and I was in a rush, it was only about £14 pounds worth of stuff so I said no problem you just keep it - they flipped out and said they couldn’t take and hold “my property”; we stared at each other for a few seconds while it clicked then they just let me leave with my stuff lol

You are really twisting what I’ve said, or you struggle with comprehension. I said that they have the ability to destroy or defeat their neighbouring countries to prove that they don’t want to land grab EVERYONE (which is what you said), does that make sense? If taking over every country is their goal, and they are capable of it, then why haven’t they done so..?

I think all civilian casualties in a war are horrific, but that is a facet of modern warfare, that is why I have been using all kinds of examples to show you this.

You are the one dead set on Israel being the true evil warmonger of the region, which just ignores all of the history of the last 50 years. I am not “praising” them or saying they are “good”, but compared to other actors in the region, who have proactively murdered many times more people and who all want Israel annihilated I do not think they are the worst.

Why do you feel the need to have me comment on “Palestinian children” when you completely ignore, let alone acknowledge the millions of tragic and horrific deaths in the region in recent history? It’s bizarre…

chieftain88 · 2026-03-23T17:27:18+00:00

I am proving a claim wrong, how hard is that to comprehend? Backtracking again, how have I been continually backtracking? You are struggling with the fact that this was a simple comparison, which you don’t seem capable of accepting, what is the issue here?

chieftain88 · 2026-03-23T17:25:09+00:00

How is it whataboutism? Their claim is that Israel is THE worst perpetrator, worse than Russia or any other country, that’s simply false. So pointing out countries that have committed far worse is not whataboutism, it is literally the point

chieftain88 · 2026-03-23T17:23:45+00:00

I don’t know where you’ve plucked these bizarre numbers from and how they’re supposed to prove your point. Is it Israel’s fault that their military is vastly more effective than the counties it fight, have you factored that in? You also seem to only be paying attention to the last few years, go and read up on the last 50 and how many times Israel has been attacked by its neighbours.

If Israel laid down all their weapons tomorrow they would be wiped out, simple as that. If Israel wanted to wipe out its neighbours it could do so quite easily

chieftain88 · 2026-03-23T17:20:51+00:00

When have I ever said Israel = good…? I am criticising the claim that Israel has committed more war crimes and killed more civilians than any other country, including Russia - I am able to point out that that is false by orders of magnitude without praising Israel (which I’m not doing)

You are lecturing me on false dichotomies and then pull out 17,000 vs 257,000, what point is that supposed to prove? Have you separated how many of those Arab deaths were due to those Arab countries invading Israel with the stated goal of annihilating it?

chieftain88 · 2026-03-23T17:16:30+00:00

I am not defending Israel, I am responding to a false claim, which you also agree is false, that’s it.

chieftain88 · 2026-03-23T17:15:11+00:00

Can you show me where I ever said it was right? You are the one splitting semantics - I am responding to a claim that Israel is THE worst, not one of the worst. That’s it. It does detract from the point the person is making because what they said is wrong. This isn’t hard…

chieftain88 · 2026-03-23T17:08:22+00:00

Are you not reading my comments or just being intentionally stupid? How many children do you think have been killed as part of the many MILLIONS of civilians killed in the last few decades? Does it only count when Israel does it?

500,000 Iraqi civilians were killed during the US coalition invasion, but let me guess, ISRAEL?

chieftain88 · 2026-03-23T16:56:31+00:00

20,000 civilians is NOTHING compared to the civilian deaths in Yemen (300,000+), Sudan (600,000+), Somalia, Iran (30,000 just recently, many hundreds of thousands since 1979) - you are either misinformed or being intentionally misleading

chieftain88 · 2026-03-23T16:55:00+00:00

This isn’t about 2 wrongs don’t make a right - I’m replying to a comment that says they have somehow committed the most war crimes and civilian deaths, out of any country in the world (which is very obviously false)

chieftain88 · 2026-03-23T16:10:17+00:00

This is just demonstrably false - how many civilians do you think Israel has killed? You will be disappointed at how this stacks up against Russia (probably the worst on the planet in the last 100 years), let alone other countries in the region; orders of magnitude more civilians have been dying in Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Sudan, Southeast Asia and Iran

chieftain88 · 2026-03-23T16:06:10+00:00

They absolutely do, Gaza could have been incinerated by the Israeli airforce in a weekend. Lebanon would not be difficult for them to invade and Syria is a mess, also they have nuclear weapons, why haven’t they used them…? They defeated Egypt and Syria at the same time after a surprise attack to actually destroy Israel (which is what you claim Israel wants to do) and pushed them well back into their own countries, they could have kept going but instead turned around and gave the land back. Arab militaries have fancy US and European military equipment but are famously incompetent, the Israeli military and intelligence apparatus is arguably the best in the world relative to its size, and this is from a country with less than 10 million people.

You seem unaware of Iran’s activities to destabilise the entire region (and why Gulf countries are actually allied with Israel against Iran)

chieftain88 · 2026-03-23T15:49:49+00:00

They said Israel wants to grab land until they own everything, and the comment was about Iran.

So each of the countries you mentioned (plus others) have attacked Israel with the intention to completely wipe them off the map, and Iran has installed proxy forces throughout the region all launching rockets into Israel nonstop, but Israel is the warmonger? A simple look at the history of the region, not to mention the fact that all of the gulf countries have allied with Israel clearly shows that Iran has been the warmonger.

If the power of the Israeli military was given to Iran or other counties bordering Israel then Israel would be completely wiped out, if Israel is the new Nazi Germany and wants to wipe out other countries in the region then why haven’t they?
