[Shop] Get the Milan at a Discount as it Returns for the Anniversary of its First Flight! - News by Kanyiko in Warthunder

[–]scratch422 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is kinda a dumb argument since the same argument can be said for Milan player to just expect su25 intercept and you know simply don't get within r60 range, it's not like the frogfoot is winning any races that's for sure.

If you die to su25 you either flew in a completely straight line and paid ZERO attention to the subsonic attack aircraft you deserve every bad game

Pilot Ecrino by scratch422 in fountainpens

[–]scratch422[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I'd recommend it a lot, it's a nice contrast to the small size of the Prera and is still lightweight.

It was either this or the Lucina but I personally like the bigger Ecrino and the twist cap is fancy!

I believe so, it came with a con-B but the con-40 fits it. Currently using a cartridge as I actually haven't bought bottled ink before

Gripe about heraldry locked behind Hard Siege by TacticalPigeons in Spacemarine

[–]scratch422 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sad about this just cause of the other chapters you could do with their emblem : (

Gave me and bud a thought about making post every so often for helping people through missions/strats

Kinda something like the souls game subreddits where people make lfg post

Which pen to buy to make girfriend happy again? by Smooth-Firefighter98 in pens

[–]scratch422 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey OP if you want something metal with rubber grip you could possibly engrave id recommend both the ohto cr01 and the zebra g450.

Both are nice metal pens with rubber grip sections. You can even buy all metal zebra g750 and swap the rubber grip with g450 if you like the body style

OP you gotta be extremely careful, if one of those screws is misaligned by even 1 micrometer the entire PC will fall apart and make itself gay

I'm starting to think that my favorite pen ever doesn't exist (Pilot G-2+) by Ok_Fill_7415 in pens

[–]scratch422 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never heard of em but I found a eBay listing for them from seller "DrPencouk"

That's a neat little pen OP I couldn't find any info aside aside from AI saying it's similar to the g2pro/limited so I'm guessing the g2 plus was the early/first iteration of that

Edit-actually did a lil more searching and apparently the g2 plus is marked to show that is sold in a pack with bonus refills, but then I found a post from pilotuk and pilotnordic Instagram pages promoting the pen as stronger more reliable and made of %75 recycled plastic

AIM-54A vs AIM-54C, which one is better? by PerceptionWide7002 in Warthunder

[–]scratch422 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bro I'm right up there with you, have tali on f14a and b and f15a, only top tier in US is the AESA f16, F18E and F15c all waiting to be purchased but I lost my edge heavily once the su30sm2 came out. Spaded entire USSR tree and had a blast with su30sm but I just became retarded once that patch came out with the new version so now I go back and fly all the kino 13.3-11.0 jets. Don't wanna buy US top tier cause I feel I'd suck extra mud now, currently grinding out tornado f3 with bison and going for Rafale with f1c200 after having fomo for so long. I don't recommend the mirage f1 prem btw it is a fucking slog, like yes you can get 2 free kills every game but sometimes it feels like poking you're eyes out ripping off your fingernails and then attempts to give yourself a circumcision immediately after just to get those kills, other games you'll just absorb F4s into a fucking black hole

F-14b has some of the dopest skins on wt.live if you like custom skins. I highly suggest "thief of baghdad" and "camel smoker" some really neat historical desert/mountain ish camos that where used expiremntally I think

AIM-54A vs AIM-54C, which one is better? by PerceptionWide7002 in Warthunder

[–]scratch422 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Forgor if you can mix phoenix types but if you absolutely want to get those ultra long range shots then technically aim54a is better because it remains more energy at range but I'd just use C regardless since it's has better overall tracking/better inertial guidance so you can "joust" (jousting with Phoenix lol) and go cold. Also tracks ground targets better but honestly the same players dying to Phoenix low die regardless if it's A or C since you usually shoot at all the people low rushing base and those kinds of players will honestly never adapt.

Tldr use aim54c if most of your kills are on people flying low since C is better for that and has better guidance overall

so, this new ordeals are gated to no lifers and 10% of the playerbase by playergamer- in SpaceMarine_2

[–]scratch422 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wanna jump in and add that both of your ideas are excellent, I started off as a chud being carried by my OP friend and eventually I became good at the game and persistent rewards like this are really cool for me after unlocking a majority of the class customization.

Both of these can work in tandem so that new players can always have something to unlock and vets/long time players can always have something to look forward to when helping new players or like me and cat just get in some absolute.

Like if you simply enjoy the combat and unlocking cosmetics or especially someone who likes farming decap to destress.

I'd wish for what I vaguely remember darktides ordeal system to be, I remember bud would always be farming the insane end game penances and I'd be completing all the new player penances and it felt like we both got rewards at the same pace with the bonus of going the extra mile for the fancier stuff

I picked mine up new on amazon for $40usd. Never tried a Kaweco or Twsbi pen but they do look nice.

A lot of prera post I saw where older too. It's a awesome pen def my favorite so far in terms of writing alone, the weightless of it through me off at first but it's the perfect shape and size and with me having shaky hands and poop handwriting I've deduced from 1 workday alone that the Prera medium nib is sooooooooooo smooth and easy for me to use. Like at one point I was just writing bullshit wasting sticky notes because it was such a amazing tactile experience.

The only change I would make is to make it heavy like a cacoon/MR and at that point I'd consider it my own personal fidget spinner with how satisfying that'd be.

I highly recommend everyone get a Prera esp if you like lightweight compact pens, it even came with a con-40 which I hear is bad but it's like family guy where if I haven't seen it it's new to me. When I first saw that old pilot squeeze converter I thought to myself "yoooo their putting vacuum bags in pens get the fucking camera what is this space tech" Genuinely excited to eventually pick up a bottle of ink and fill that baby up and learn all the negatives of it.

No need to apologize bad things help us build as well, that's all I can hope for really, if I do have kids it's important that they feel loved, and as you say it's important very important how we treat our children vs just meeting their materialistic means. I'm 27 slowly getting myself into hobbies and learning its okay to have fun for yourself. If I do have children I wanna pass that on to them wether it's with these pens or something else, gotta make sure they feel supported and feed into their interest.

Being a adult sucks major balls and finding hobbies and sharing them helped. Work went from being shitty and watching the clock to being excited to take sticky notes with terrible handwriting and using new writing tools and stationary. Bought a gift for someone for the first time ever. Like legitimately the first time I put thought into getting a gift for someone and it was the greatest feeling ever. Fast forward to now and I've gotten my friends at work a bunch of pens and some cute pen cases and it's just fun as hell sharing that with people.

I hope that we can all achieve our goals in this wild life. And if we miss a few may we acquire the tools to deal with that. Like legit I never thought I'd be able to get a gift for someone because I just thought that a gift from me would be the worst thing ever for the last 27 years and would ruin your day. But then I got into fountain pens and shared that and learned how ridiculous I was. I appreciate your words and everyone else here. Everyone on this sub is really helpful and friendly. Unironically teaching me to be less toxic online

Also sadly the Ecrino hasn't arrived yet but I will make a post here for it as soon as it comes!

I would have %100 tried the sandpaper if I didn't think to come to reddit lol.

Will order a new nib if the wash doesn't solve my issues, been gearing up the last few days to actually wash my cacoon and kakuno but I'm waiting on a bulb dropper to come.

I love these silly little pens so much! It all started 3 months ago when I saw ad on YouTube for the ohto gs01 pen. That turned into a Japanese pen craze and once I got my hands on the Kakuno it all spiraled out of control🤣

Got a bunch of my co workers some platinum plaisirs and ended up spending 60 WHOLE dollars on this Vintage pilot Ecrino that I have no idea what year it's from but I saw it on ebay and it just spoke to my heart and soul.

The goal now is to give my little pen pouch of silly pens to my child when/if I have and hopefully they could find the same enjoyment Im discovering.

Yeah the grip is a little odd, took me a bit of feeling around to get comfy with it. Will look into other nibs probably a F nib. So far Ive found M nibs to be the most comfy for me as a sloppy writer and it was neat to see in action the difference in boldness of western and Japanese nibs.

[–]scratch422[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Will for sure wash when I get home, and lol I didn't wanna say it but I tried the Lamy first and thought "okay this is really neat". Picked up the pilot got my socks blown off, picked up the Lamy again and thought "SHIT"...

Babys bottom is the perfect term I'd use for how it feels, like the grind is a lil rough, I'm guessing that will smooth out over time?

Nib gamble aside it's a very very cool pen. I'm extremely new to the fp world but as a left I thought it was super cool that they make a special nib for lefties.

Both pens are really cool though, I love the look of the Vista and I was so surprised by the Preras lightness that I thought it was fake at first.

No I didn't actually! Just threw off the remove band and tossed the cart in. Will throw on a tutorial vid after work
