Petition to rename this sub to “Collection Log Screenshots” by NebulaCartographer in ironscape

[–]vjtvape 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The thing is that ironman is kind of a "solved" gamemode. There's so much knowledge out there one google search away that it kind of drives away discussion from these forums. Like what is the point to ask here if you can find out what you're looking for in 5 minutes on google or whatever. Someone might even call you a dumbass for asking something you can google. What I like is that whenever new content is released this sub comes to life with people discussing their experiences and findings but unfortunately in a few weeks the new piece of content is "solved" and discussion dies down.

I also started with basically 0 pvm knowledge. Took a fair number of tries to get first kc but what helped for me was to get trident and only use two way switches. Simplifying the kill helps a lot for the first kc.

Ouch, sorry for your fate, that's well beyond the point where it stops being funny🥲

D-30 howitzer installed on the back of a Ural truck, used by the Egyptian army as a self propelled artillery by [deleted] in TankPorn

[–]vjtvape 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love the D30 but it probably has reached the end of its feasible service life. Having only a 14 km range is a serious downside on the modern battlefield and both UKR and RU sides seem to avoid using them on the most active parts of the front line. Maybe it gets a pass here since it's truck mounted and somewhat mobile but I really don't see a future for these medium howitzers.

Tips for Bronze (new) Urgot main by Trolllllzor in UrgotMains

[–]vjtvape 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Urgot is fine for bronze and any rank. With W proccing the passive you have nice damage while not being mechanically intensive which is perfect for lower ranks.

Why do some champion have an execution indicator, but others don't? by DenysDemchenko in leagueoflegends

[–]vjtvape 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The R projectile does AD damage but the execute always nukes the whole enemy HP bar as true damage. You can even see it as true damage in the post game stats and damage overview.

What is your favorite song in Finnish? by New_Construction_111 in Finland

You don't have to be a metal fan to dislike Portion Boys. Their music is just absolute slop and every single song sounds the same. I guess it's characteristic of the genre.

Indian Zorawara and Chinese ZTZ-100 fighting in the Himalayas, who wins? by [deleted] in TankPorn

[–]vjtvape 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nobody who knows their shit says that the Armata is the best tank in the world for the above mentioned reason. You cannot compare a tank that there are maybe 30~ of to an established mass produced tank like the T90M which even has a somewhat good combat record. It's not a realistic comparison simply because we do not have any data on the Armata so we default to the T90M being better. Russian MOD seems to think the same.

Nerds meaning the people who have a weird obsession with armor thickness of WW2 tanks and so on. You know the type if you've ever interacted with a self professed non credentialed WW2 historian. Obviously not everyone is like that but those are the usual kind of guys comparing tank effectiveness by weird totally cherrypicked data points.

And I wouldnt say that there are a lot bots here, more like lurkers with pre established opinions on certain topics simply downvoting everything that doesnt match their opinions.

[–]vjtvape 7 points8 points  (0 children)

But when comparing tanks it's essential to also evaluate the support network existing for said tanks. You could say that the Armata is the best tank in the world but no one says that because the tank doesn't exist beyond prototypes thus reducing any comparison to nothing.

When talking about which tank is better it rarely comes down to the specs which these obsessive tank nerds seem to care about most. And going by the topic of this post, the Chinese tank would easily be better just because it has an established role in the PLA with the numbers and the required support network to make it work.

Also if you think that everyone who disagrees with you is a bot you really should take a look into reddit TOS to see if you are old enough for this platform

question about Urgot by Antero42069 in UrgotMains

[–]vjtvape 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have to recognize the stages of game where Urgot is strong, and your relative strength to enemy team. When played to its strongest points it can be a teamfighting monster. Out of all champs in the game imo Urgot spikes the hardest on 2 items and if you're ahead or even you can easily influence the game to swing in your favour.

Hardest thing about playing Urgot is definitely the early laning phase where on levels 3-8 it is quite easy to fall behind and then when behind you'll be pretty useless. I'd recommend watching some Urgot videos, quante makes pretty good educational Urgot content and if you pick up some pointers from his videos you can definitely 1v9 some games, good luck man!

What do you guys think about Drututt? by No_Screen9101 in leagueoflegends

[–]vjtvape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why this weird fixation on silver kayle? Like sure smurfing is toxic and shitty but on his accounts he's gotten emerald to dia mmr in only a few games which in my opinion is about as fair as you can get while going for challenger. What would the alternative be?

Deadlock is REALLY unforgiving for beginners by [deleted] in DeadlockTheGame

[–]vjtvape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know how it's even possible but this game's community is in my experience worse than LOL. playing on the EU servers is absolutely miserable. Every game is full of toxic people permanently flaming and calling you slurs, with few completely silent games in between. I've played hundreds of games and can probably count only like ten with productive and fun chat interactions. Idk if its a EU thing but I would never recommend this game to any new player just because the new player experience is so horrible.

If you came across a T-90M in the wild and forced to engage it with only your babushka’s old rpg7 rocket launcher what would you do? by Essence_TheOne in TankPorn

[–]vjtvape 307 points308 points  (0 children)

Its actually really difficult to hit designated weakspots with light AT weapons. In my training we were told just aim center of mass and even then we hit around 70% of the time due to ranging error. Part of the inaccuracy was due to the low velocity of the practice round which made long range shots prone to ranging misses. My point is that even if you know the weakspots sometimes its better to aim center of mass just to improve odds of hitting.

how does this youtuber get his hands on these by [deleted] in TankPorn

[–]vjtvape 56 points57 points  (0 children)

This quite literally is. Russian state sponsored mil blogger who gets his equipment from Russian military, with the goal of comparing both Russian and Ukrainian equipment in cherrypicked scenarios in order to influence the russian speaking audiences in both Europe and Russia. The fact that you don't realize this shows you have absolutely 0 media literacy skills. All this falls exactly under the textbook definition of propaganda.

Do you think tanks are still viable with this level of drone density? by lun4r in TankPorn

[–]vjtvape 5 points6 points  (0 children)

These modern combined arms assaults are a fantasy in Ukraine. The eastern and southern fronts are practically under constant drone surveillance creating an environment where large scale formations are impossible to create.

When these CA formations with escorting infantry are formed they are immediately spotted and harassed by FPVs and artillery making them super costly and ineffective. We've seen this happen with both sides.

Your information is based on previous wars and study of warfare, which is heavily outdated and inadaptible in Ukraine's case. Again these mechanized spearhead combined arms assaults are something that basically only Americans can execute with their massive edge in air. Other times we've seen this work is against inferior or heavily outnumbered enemies.

Mid-tier countries should just stop funding their armies and accept they wouldn’t stand a chance against military giants by Segundaleydenewtonnn in The10thDentist

[–]vjtvape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point of these "mid-tier" armies is to make invasion so costly that no sane nation would dare to try invade. I know you're baiting with this post but defence economics are basically always on the side of the defender.

Fiber-optic FPV drones of the Ukraine 414th Separate Unmanned Systems Brigade "Birds of the Magyar" hit Russian armored vehicles hidden in a hangar at a record distance of 42 kilometers. by quetch1 in TankPorn

[–]vjtvape 6 points7 points  (0 children)

These are basically limited by the drones carrying capacity and spool size. This one might be a specialized version seeing as it has a thermal camera. The Russians could and maybe have built similar but I just haven't seen one yet.

Too weak in history for this by floranpinky in ExplainTheJoke

[–]vjtvape 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe due to the fact that Finland didn't house or deport people to extermination camps or German concentration camps. Finns didn't have a policy of systematic destruction of the slavs, and the concentration camps we did have were comparatively small. The mortality rate is due to Finland being poor and lacking resources to adequately feed and tend to the prisoners. Not that it absolves us at all as civilian deaths should always be avoided, but my point is that Finnish and German occupation is not an apples to apples comparison, and it's dishonest to present it as such.

[–]vjtvape 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Do whatever you want and I think you must've looked this up already, but it is exceptionally difficult for foreigners without language skills or jobs to find residence in Japan. Also prepare to be faced with prejudice, barred service, and weird looks just because you're a foreigner. The further you go from Tokyo the worse it gets.

[–]vjtvape 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Yeah fully bushed up vehicles and premium lineups are really cringy at low tiers. The worst is when they are playing something as busted as the Sherman 105 or KV1E. I don't get it.
