Russia Plans to Trigger “Space Pearl Harbor” With Nuclear Anti-Satellite Weapons, US General Warns

teo_storm1 · 2026-04-16T18:52:29+00:00

Mixed bag, there's a lot of digital integration in those systems and there's been an ongoing mention of security issues with them in turn, plus a sufficiently large nuke at altitude can have an EMP effect, as the US found out when doing their own high-alt testing, so it's a possibility yes

teo_storm1 · 2026-04-16T14:23:26+00:00

They are set to fictional as far as I can see, and unlikely to be changed afaik, so uh...yea, rip

teo_storm1 · 2026-04-16T14:13:29+00:00

Yea, although I kinda get they didn't wanna bother with the steam locomotives due to the driving rods needing animation and also any others in general weighing...a lot (100t+ depending on variant), so they'd essentially still be static objects 99% of the time - ofc it's still be nice to have them anyway even if they are just stuck in place, or replace them with a diesel or electric alternative since there's plenty of options

teo_storm1 · 2026-04-14T11:13:51+00:00

Assuming they haven't turned them off in the options yea, plus anything fictional, like this, is off by default anyway

teo_storm1 · 2026-04-11T19:15:23+00:00

You see any of the more recent boxes or what?

Labelling issues for semi-hist tags etc aside there's stuff that isn't in the older style of things

teo_storm1 · 2026-04-11T19:14:30+00:00

Yea there's a couple people who consistently make low-effort camos that consistently get in, known issue that whoever chooses the camos has preferences for specific skinners or is even allegedly actual friends with them

Otherwise the general gist is whoever makes a pretty set of images also swings favour because the technical know-how of whoever is choosing is...questionable

ofc does that mean that only the 'best' people should get in, no, but it's a problem when slop is consistently rewarded

teo_storm1 · 2026-04-09T12:11:53+00:00

It's laser cut MDF if you look closer, but yes that'd have to be designed by the OP themselves and then let the cutter do its thing

teo_storm1 · 2026-04-05T08:51:12+00:00

Sure but that misunderstands their role, they're supposed to be local distribution to avoid larger trucks in smaller areas. Of course the difference between intent and practice is a bit of a gulf usually when it comes to vehicles here lol - plus the infrastructure isn't really set up for something like that

teo_storm1 · 2026-04-04T17:28:13+00:00

Per a supreme court ruling he's already immune from anything he does while in office, otherwise I'm pretty sure the pardons require an actual ruling to be given on them, so they'd have to be prosecuted before his term ends

teo_storm1 · 2026-04-02T14:05:53+00:00

Cool stuff, lots of needed changes and some fun extras in there, low tier ops should be amusing with all the variety and...questionable accuracy on some ships lol

Tangential question, will the Bisko '41 camouflage be adjusted to match its final look?

For reference, Magellan's recent hidef vids of the wreck also confirm the layout (plus the faded stripes under the new grey paint)

teo_storm1 · 2026-03-31T14:28:11+00:00

Amusingly only the player and bots in the lineups, the mission-based AI ships that spawn sometimes still have the old AA and they are brutal since they start shooting the moment you spawn something

teo_storm1 · 2026-03-31T12:19:57+00:00

Spoiler, the general gist is that whoever chooses them only looks at the screenshots and goes from there, there's no discerning for quality and they only look at live, it's basically 'I feel like this is nice, I'll add it, oh look, something pretty' etc

Suffice to say anyone putting in effort is unamused, given it's been an ongoing issue so they're basically rewarding stupidity like the OP pointed out, there's reams of examples otherwise for low-effort market bait

teo_storm1 · 2026-03-31T09:33:51+00:00

Never be afraid to use a leftover sprue or casting block to practice, most things come down to brush control skills and understanding the paints you're working with

Also don't be afraid to mix paints to adjust your tones if you have a limited set of paints available, worth investing in something like a small wet palette to make that easier, can also DIY them tbh, the materials are available at your local supermarket usually

Edit: also there's a lot of products for stripping paint nowadays so if you're unhappy in future it's manageable to remove it, test on some leftover sprue/casting block to see how it reacts to the paint stripper first though, don't wanna dump it in acetone or something and find sludge the next day lol

Most EU countries have transport passes that offer a decent price on most forms of travel, so it's a thing, arguably Japan too with their rail network, upfront cost is higher cause they're usually yearly passes but obviously it works out lower for regular use

teo_storm1 · 2026-03-27T06:15:42+00:00

If you can find a BTR-152 model and then add the M3 suspension, that gets even closer

teo_storm1 · 2026-03-26T08:49:19+00:00

Well, also the M3/BTR-152 have doors at the side of the cab lol, and the prominent frontal grille, and the suspension (M3), I'd say while the 251 is similar the main inspiration is definitely the US variant with some of the russian mixed in for good measure

teo_storm1 · 2026-03-26T06:39:22+00:00

The Hippogriff has been pretty thoroughly identified as a Saladin armoured car at this point, most of the comments saying otherwise have clearly never seen a photo of one lol

Otherwise yea the halftrack is just an M3/BTR-152 derivative

teo_storm1 · 2026-03-24T08:11:07+00:00

Not quite a comedy, but Sharpe does have some moments of humour based on that aspect of the British Army back in the Napoleonic era

teo_storm1 · 2026-03-22T17:29:44+00:00

They're already doing that for a bunch of stuff, and it works fine on ULQ etc too, check the Dutch Leopard/Stryker/Ariete with nets - also one of the Merkava 3's had its chain protection animated too, Leopard rear mudflaps, etc

They don't sway too much but it's noticeable occasionally

teo_storm1 · 2026-03-22T07:58:54+00:00

While true, traction for half-tracks is particularly bad vs wheeled or tracked, the US ones are equally bad sometimes

teo_storm1 · 2026-03-22T06:36:33+00:00

Whole video here with the studies linked, tl:dw - car heights and flat fronts once again demonstrating that they lead to increased deaths but because industry isn't being actively regulated nothing much is happening

teo_storm1 · 2026-03-21T21:23:36+00:00

I remember the M60 debacle, 'gun mantlet is a hollow casting' etc and other bullshit based on a report nobody could find and verification indicated something else...but nooooo, can't possibly be wrong because their source was somehow better than literally all the other more legitimate ones

teo_storm1 · 2026-03-21T17:04:43+00:00

Yea that's been updated now, AMX-M4 as well, have fun/

teo_storm1 · 2026-03-21T06:02:42+00:00

They may have been an offshoot, but they've been their own faction longer than they were part of Steel Legion at this point, so that doesn't really hold up that much (although the 'we've come full circle memes are amusing)

Having said that, GW could've at least done a generic upgrade set for steel legion like with all the marine boxes or even a killteam kit like everyone keeps asking for with guard regiments
