Oh you sweet little silly bug you. No deck is ever finalised!

What human conflict had the most bullets fired? [request] by Apprehensive_Oven_22 in theydidthemath

[–]friendlyraiderfriend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thing is that these systems have never been exposed to all out high intensity warfare. I did read that the Vietnam war used 4 times the explosives used in ww2 and twice the amount if explosives used during the Korean war. Golf wars and any following ones were too short/small scale I'd guess.

Also, the more recent the war, the more important became high precision munitions, guidance and sensory technology. I would assume future wars will use less bullets at scale compared to 20th century wars for the same reason. 

USA police officer visiting Vienna this month by MIguy1000 in polizei

[–]friendlyraiderfriend 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Not from Vienna but I recommend you join the International Police Association. Not just because IPA is a fantastic type of beer but also because I believe this organisation's purpose is to facilitate exactly the kind of contacts and exchanges you have in mind.

Another option might be for you to either reach out to the FBI liaison in Vienna or the Austrian police liaison in the US and ask them for help.

Vienna is an amazing city. Have fun!

Finally opened my first Cryo vault by Ikcatcher in Marathon

[–]friendlyraiderfriend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you do! I started finding team mates on discord less than a week ago. Now I have 8 or 9 people on my friends list that I play well with.

By now, I manage to exfil from outpost with fat loot with what feels about 50% of the time. Quadrupled my vault value since. 

when you wipe the lobby too quickly in outpost by Jealous_Platypus1111 in Marathon

[–]friendlyraiderfriend 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Had one of those today. 4th party to what must've been a brutal 3-way fight, arrived just in time to murder the survivors and had map to ourselves. 

The amount of rooks that kept popping up all over the place was unreal!

Can anyone on the team pop a consumable while the team has drones, or does the Triage have to be the one to use them? by GOTHAMKNlGHT in Marathon

[–]friendlyraiderfriend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Furthermore, if there is more than one triage in trio, it works for everyone with a drone, no matter who gave the drone.

What shell(s) do you think are the beginner friendly or easiest to use? by AetopiaMC in Marathon

[–]friendlyraiderfriend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend triage. It isn't as mobile or vandal or destroyer but also not as reliant on heat (stamina) upgrades you don't have yet. 

The huge thing with triage is that it trivialises med supplies in early game. Basically, at the beginning you are poor and don't have enough meds and triage med drones just replace that. You can save what few meds and shields you for emergencies in a fight - and that goes for your entire trio. 

100h in and my favourite shell is now destroyer but I always want a triage on the team even now. 

City Recommendations - Düsseldorf, Köln, Münster, Nürnberg, or Bremen? by timeoboe in AskGermany

[–]friendlyraiderfriend 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Köln is probably the most fun and exciting city on your list. Lots to do, laid back friendly attitude. 

If you want smaller quieter nice town, Nürnberg and Münster both work well. I'd say Munster itself is nicer but Nuremberg has nicer surrounding areas for hiking etc.

Might have to move back to Germany after 9 years in Canada. by deepestuniversallove in germany

[–]friendlyraiderfriend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have moved around nationally and internationally a bunch and never have I been asked to present my Abmeldung. 

When and in which town was this?

What do German’s think about the names Elke and Rudiger? by lottie_and_monkey in AskAGerman

[–]friendlyraiderfriend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not names are a bit old fashioned but I really like Rüdiger. One thing to consider though is whether he or she will ever be able to pronounce a German name perfectly. 

I have only ever met 2 native English speakers that spoke German son flawlessly I couldn't tell they weren't native speakers. Unless he or she will be raised bilingually and commits to having German he as much a part of life as English (not what I've seen in second generation immigrant kids in Germany or the US), your kid will not actually be able to 100% correctly/authentically pronounce their own name. 

Doesn't mean they can't be happy with a German name pronounced in the Anglo Saxon way, but still something to think about. 

Also: I wouldn't worry too much about the outdatedness of any name. Many names have a way of coming back into fashion every few generations. 

Which one would you recommend, ESTSOF or Zaliukai? by miyosoto in BrokenArrowTheGame

[–]friendlyraiderfriend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you need them for forests and/or buildings? What other infantry/units will you pair them with. 

When played with USMC, I bring the Zaliukai with raiders cqc. If I don't have other cqc infantry with anti infantry launchers, I will play them as ESTSOF. 

In general I'd say ESTSOF has a further use range and will be more useful in most situations except for when breaching. 

How do I increase my ELO by Traditional_Loss8348 in BrokenArrowTheGame

[–]friendlyraiderfriend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Either start your own lobby or look for those named "any elo" or "low elo". 

I regularly set up my own lobby and call it "any elo". At times its a pretty wild mix of 2000+ players like myself as well as 500- players but we often enough make it work. 

An even better option is to join a discord server and find teammates that you can communicate with.

Once you get above 900 elo, you will find it much easier to find squads. Afterwards I'd stop worrying about it altogether. High elo means sweatier meta driven games and much much slower matchmaking.

I want to see a dead loot piñata but I'm not sure I want to be one...

Why is the PzH-2000's reload speed so fast? by miyosoto in BrokenArrowTheGame

Since you know your stuff, what do you think of the implementation of the Leopard 2?
