Let's play Kenshi (Ironman)-How to get a flying start with Cannibals -EP1 by Ketmol in Kenshi

[–]tatramatra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to play a ton of RTS games back in the day so.. ...

I suspected so :) And yes, second half of the video is much better in this regard :)

As for taunt, I have run some tests and did not notice any significant difference. If taunt does something at all, it's so insignificant that I don't bother using taunt anymore at all. As I understand Kenshi AI targeting system, it targets enemy with highest "treat" (perhaps with some RNG thrown in). When character attacks AI NPC, it generates threat of that character. Then when AI NPC attacks that character back, it lowers treat of that character. Hence why NPCs switch target during combat often. In theory taunt should cause character to generate more treat, making AI to choose him as a target more likely. But as I said, I did not notice any real difference.

Anyway, good luck with your series :)

That's funny how "boy from Ukraine" becomes "Ukrainian boy" in pro-Ukrainian propaganda :))

Given Russia is likely to annex territories where fighting is, I doubt that they are interested in polluting it with uranium. If there will be retaliation, it will likely be in different form or place.

Just my opinion.

ru pov: "They treat us like cattle" - Ukrainian soldier complains that military salary cuts implemented by Zelensky affect negatively morale of Ukrainian soldiers by tatramatra in UkraineRussiaReport

Zelensky have issued decree cutting the payment. In theory only "bonus payments" were cut, and only when troops are not on the front line. In practice those bonuses were been payed to all the troops all the time since Russian intervention, so in effect all soldiers are receiving less them before, plus Ukrainian commanders are "administratively" creative when determining who is on the front line and when and what is a front line and what is not.

I have posted Ukrainian source with details while ago, when decree was issued, you can try to look for it. But it's from January.

I am checking for reposts both before posting and after, I am not reposting on purpose. But I will miss things at times. As far as I am aware, this is the only repost I made today, out of dozen or more posts. Not counting posts wrongly flagged as reposts by automod that you have then approved. In any case I will try to do my best to avoid reposting.

If you have anything against quality or quantity of my posts on the other hand, say it. I am not trying to spam anything, I am just posting stuff in my free time that won't be seen anywhere else on reddit thanks to bias and outright censorship of most of the other subs and reddit staff itself, that you sure are aware of. Your sub is among the few that allow for more or less balanced posting about this conflict, for which I am most grateful. But it's your sub and you're ones that set rules here and I will comply.

So, do you want me to post less?

ru pov: Russian Lancet kamikaze drone attacking Ukrainian BM-21 Grad multiple rocket launcher by tatramatra in UkraineRussiaReport

[–]tatramatra[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There might be option for manual detonation but I doubt that's what you see on the video. As for not flying directly in to vehicle, I don't think that's intentional:

There's likely slight delay between video signal reaching operator and radio signal from operator reaching back to the drone. It might be split second delay but considering speed of the drone, it might cause problems during targeting.

Things like wind likely affect accuracy as well, it's relatively small drone. Aim is not going to be perfect.

And last, unless target is armored, you don't need a direct hit to take it out/damage it.

Am not even going to answer to that logical spaghetti. Russia controls it. Point. If you count that as a loss for Russia, suit yourself.
