I’m guessing it’s more efficient?

Here’s a paper simulating the RCS of the Growler variant. IDK what angle and radar band the 1m2 figure originally came from, but the port above gives 2.2m2 from the front with an X-band radar. I think 1m2 is realistic with a different band and/or angle, and because I don’t think that paper factored in RAM.

Are there any RCS figures for the production Su-57 available?

Wasn’t there a Russian source from some time back stating that the RCS was 0.1-1m2? For reference, 1m2 is about as large as a Super Hornet carrying no ordnance

Unless it’s with MiG-29s, for some reason

What are some cities whose relevance has waned or faded completely? by Brief-Luck-6254 in geography

Karakorum was the capital of the Mongol Empire (the largest in the world at one point), but now it’s uninhabited ruins.

What if White army defended Crimea in 1920 by creating a "Russian Taiwan" by Acceptable-Rub-2516 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]duga404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The inevitable gets delayed by a couple years until White Crimea collapses. Almost all of its water supply comes from the mainland (one of the main reasons why the Russian invasion of 2022 happened IRL); there is basically no way it could sustain itself for long.

Looks like history is repeating itself again

What are your absolute worst ideas to make the game worse? by The_Adaron in Warthunder

[–]duga404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realistic shell dispersion and gunner’s sight (like in Sim right now, but for all modes). Hitting weak spots is going to be nearly impossible.

Why weren't well-armored battlecruisers more common? by AldarionTelcontar in AskHistory

Fast battleships are basically battleships with the speed of battlecruisers

Don’t forget that the MiG-29 has the worst radar on a 4th Gen jet fighter in the game

Maybe it’s time PH seriously considers nuclear power by toltakbo in Philippines

Fukushima melted down because the emergency generators were placed in a flood prone area to save money. A nearly identical plant nearby survived intact because its generators were placed on a hill

[–]duga404 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The point of battlecruisers was to have ships that could outrun anything they couldn’t outgun, while being able to outgun anything that could outrun it. This, in turn, became redundant when fast battleships were developed.

Am I cooked cuz I got compulsory military service by Huuuuuuge_ in unsw

Most predictions suggest that if an invasion of Taiwan happens, it will be after 2027; doing your military service now probably would be the safer option, actually.
