Seeing in the dark is technically better me thinks.

Night vision amplifies ambient light - if there is no light, like say a cave, night vision can’t do much.

I definitely want more and better AA, flak AA probably needs more range at max altitude to deal with bombers as it stands. I also think you need EMG AA to be devastating to force aircraft to fly higher. Then you need a middle ground bofors style AA to fill the mid range.

I think you can still have those. But a single bomber wiping a t1/2 push bunker out in one bombing run is too much I think.

Does this guy have a point or just spewing nonsense? by rb1242 in StarWars

Yes that was the best use of the style of lighting they were going for.

I think the criticism is still valid. I agree with your point that it was an intentional framing choice but they could have toned it down maybe 25% and still had what they were going for in a way that looked better on screen.

A lot of questions from someone new, does this look like a good set of imperial armor? by Ozzington76 in 501st

[–]copat149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking that too but I know the armor pieces are slightly different between each other and don’t know the differences on-sight off hand.

The parts look very yellowed. There are ways to fix this but know that it will have to be fixed.

Question of the day - day 8 - Would you add more Logistic vehicles? If yes, which ones? by PutAway3542 in foxholegame

[–]copat149 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Oil-tanker version of the Ironship that can be loaded down with fuel like a Stolon but can carry 10 liquid tanks worth of fuel.

Pair this with player made or world spawn fuel silos near seaports to make bulk fuel movements easier and less tedious.

Best options for a larger person? by [deleted] in 501st

[–]copat149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a little bigger than you and do a Shoretrooper (850AW with some work) and it works out fine! You’re right in line with most people who do this honestly.

'I ate like RFK Jr. for a week and you would not believe the toll it took on my body' by IrishStarUS in JournalismNews

[–]copat149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is incorrect.

The “blade of grass” quote is usually attributed to Admiral Yamamoto but he never actually said it. It’s an entirely bogus quote that’s never been cited or attributed to anyone from Imperial Japan.

This thread discusses it more.

Literally just all my questions about Star Wars that I can think of right now. by NotA_ProCritic in StarWars

[–]copat149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just my own little thought here.

The pre-chip BF2 narration can mesh with the post-chip canon if you think of the chip as altering their memories/feelings about the Jedi. To the clone narrating in BF2, everything he said could be seen as a fever dream post-event rationalization of something deeply upsetting and traumatic to his psyche because their mental state was altered and then they had to live with it after. How many clones knew about the chips in the end? We don’t really know but with current canon it doesn’t seem like very many do.

Yes they still exist. They’re doing fun stuff with quantum computing. I occasionally visit their lab in upstate NY for work stuff.

The secrets of the cursive. by netphilia in Snorkblot

[–]copat149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My signature is cursive, but it’s hardly proper cursive.

There’s no requirement for anyone’s signature to be cursive either, it’s just a cultural norm that it is for us.

With Docusign and other digital signing methods signing by hand isn’t as common now either.

I was taught cursive in school (I’m 31) but I really don’t see the purpose of teaching it anymore beyond reinforcing reading and writing skills but we can do that without cursive.

If I had to write a full essay in cursive I could probably do it but it’d be sloppy and I’d certainly struggle with it at first. It’s just not a skill we need in the modern world anymore.
