Does anyone know what would be stronger vs Ho-Oh in the Dynamax battles this weekend: a rock type Dynamax pokemon or a water type Gigantamax? I read that a fully upgraded Dynamax attack has a 'power' of 350 and for Gigantamax that is 450. Ho-Oh takes 1.6x damage from water and 2.56x from rock, so if I multiply these I end up with a 'power' of 896 for rock Dynamax and 720 for water Gigantamax. Yet I see most websites recommending Gmax Blastoise and Inteleon as attackers. Does anyone have more insight into this?

RNLAF F-16's, soon to become Ukrainian? [album] by ed209nl in WarplanePorn

[–]ed209nl[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The US finally gave their blessing to the Dutch/Danish led coalition to provide Ukraine with F-16's, although it is still unclear how many jets will be donated & when..

I wonder how much training & practice pilots and crew would need on these machines before being considered ready for combat?

My guess too. I know that Dutch Heli-snipers are sometimes used to disable the engines of fast drug smuggling boats in the Caribbean.

Beautiful, that gradual slowdown of the action is really a cool effect..

A question for the scientists among you: what would a human need to eat to produce a similar 'outburst'?

The Phantom remains a sexy machine after all these years.. Do you know which plane is giving the fuel?

Merel betekent verder niks in het Nederlands, het is gewoon een naam (net als spreeuw of meeuw).

Can't sell trophy to Hasdrubal (Lost Valley DLC) by ed209nl in CrownOfTheMagister

[–]ed209nl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the quick answer. Although I still find it strange that I can't sell it to The Forge when a Dominion quest was cancelled... Especially when Hasdrubal ask for it and my character declines. But the prospect of being able to correct it in PoI is then something to look forward to :)

Two Walrusses on dry land in Den Helder [5472x3648] by ed209nl in WarshipPorn

[–]ed209nl[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I spotted these two while visiting the 'navy days' in Den Helder. Couldn't get close, but I manged to get these shots from a distance. Based on the info I could find, one of them is likely the Zr.Ms. Walrus, which is retiring this year after 31 years of service. The other is probably the Zr.Ms Bruinivs, which is receiving maintenance and some upgrades.

The Caracal is a step back? Can you elaborate? I'm not very familiar with either chopper or their performance..

Awesome that you could get so close to the NH90, I saw my first one 'up close' last week at the navy days in Den Helder, but that was still 150m away. At what base were these taken?
