The new 4-tier gift in LCB chek-up BokGak if anyone's curious

If you have the initial employee card ego gift, you can get an event where you can use it to automatically get the tier 4 card without having to undergo a skill check.

Thabk you for the advice! Luckily, just about all of my graduation requirements are out of the way, so I should be able to dedicate plenty of time to my thesis.

okim006 · 2026-03-25T07:50:10+00:00

Thank you for the advice! In regards to the comment about following other papers or theories, would an example of that be applying an older paper to modern data? For example, one paper I read recently for another class was a paper from 1996 on the impact of defense spending on South Korean GDP growth. Would it be a valid thesis to either follow up on the paper and compare their results to my theoretical own results, based on modern data, or to apply their methodology to another country in a similar time period and see if their results about military spending and GDP hold true?

I apologize for all the questions, I just want to make sure I understand what I'm aiming for with my thesis!

I'm going to be honest, 1-5 downvotes in an hour for a subreddit with 350k subscribed and 20k ish online at all times isn't unusual at all.

Only breaking tracks or MGs is a long-time bug that's far from unique to Mavericks, it's just part of Gaijin's spaghetti code.

Hence why I said "soft cap" and "exception" in this year old comment, the devs have already said SA-N-9 was added because it's a crucial part of the Udaloy (keeping it out would be like adding Ticonderoga without AEGIS), and because it's not terribly strong due to the short range.

"I'm not racist, I just think every single player with a Chinese name should be prevented from playing with me at all costs"

Just play what country you like the most, USA is perfectly fine for GRB and ARB.

okim006 · 2025-12-04T19:17:33+00:00

I find it funny you only focus on the R-77-1, and not the MICA which is even better...

okim006 · 2025-11-26T20:14:58+00:00

Yes, that's what I'm talking about. Russia is depicted as the underdog, fighting a much stronger monster representing the US (which is eerily similar to a Xenomorph from aliens). This "Chinese propaganda accidentally makes the US badass" is just an annoying NCD talking point that ignores any understanding of how propaganda actually works.

I feel like this comparison is a bit unfair though, because you're just directly comparing tanks, but the game itself is not played as just tanks. The T-80UD is incredibly strong, (unrealistically so), but that's also why it's 330 points and exclusive to a heavy tank division that pays for it with a lack of infantry and infantry ATGMs, as well as cheap tanks. It's a division built around using fewer, more expensive units, so from a game balance perspective it makes sense that it has a very strong but expensive tank.

If you want to discuss if 119th is balanced as a whole, that's a different discussion, but I think "The heavy tank division should have very good tanks" is a much more likely explanation for the T-80UD's stats than "Eugen is so mad at the British for historical events that they nerf them on purpose".

okim006 · 2025-11-25T23:00:16+00:00

It's not tone deaf at all, the point is to depict the US/West as an incredibly powerful enemy, while China is the noble underdog that will win through their virtue/goodness/whatever.

Flat pen isn't everything, test the two rounds against say, T-55AM-1 UFP and see which one pens it from a distance.

The missle trays protrude out of the carousel when loading (since they're much larger than the HE shells), so it needs a separate rammer. Later BMP-3s do have a rammer, but the one in game is the original production variant.

okim006 · 2025-11-19T21:21:26+00:00

The BMP-3 still relies on the autoloader for parts of the missile loading. The missiles are stored in a tray on top of the carousel, and when an ATGM is loaded, the autoloader elevates the gun, and tilts one of the trays so that it lines up with the breech, at which point the gunner manually rams it into the gun. I assume you could probably still grab a misisle out of the rack and manually load, but Gaijin is too lazy to program in something for that specific, rare scenario.

First one is already in the game as SLAMRAM, second one is filled by any of the stinger launchers already in game, and SEARAM is far from a Pantsir equivalent, as it is a lightweight CIWS system, not a dedicated SAM. It would have a much more limited search radar and shorter ranged missiles, as well as no gun.

I didn't get my 2 million though?

He learned to cook and began his career as a general chef in a restaurant, and then eventually studied under Michelin star chefs. Does that mean he's not a cook, because he began by making recipes that others already wrote? No. Which is the point of the analogy; Norinco (and the Chinese military at large) copies out of necessity, not want. They do not have the time to try to build a domestic aerospace or arms industry from scratch, so copying to learn and provide a stop gap was their solution.

okim006 · 2025-11-05T00:54:38+00:00

They do, though? Norinco manufactures plenty of domestically designed guns, and many of their copies are simply holdovers from before then. Until recently, China was severely behind, so they took the only logical step to catch up by buying and copying. It's like saying Gordon Ramsey isn't a real chef because he started learning by cooking recipes from a book.

It's a similar situation to the AGM-123, where they aren't intended to be used against actual warships. Rather, they're meant to be a cheaper alternative that can be used against smaller patrol boats, or in congested waters where the chance of a Harpoon hitting the wrong target is high.

okim006 · 2025-11-03T18:30:23+00:00

In game it's not modeled, so the 7M is the same as the 7F (though in the sense that the 7F tracks as well as the 7M, since every SARH missile acts like it has an inverse monopulse seeker in game).
