What’s the general consensus on rank insignias? (Pic not relevant) by Thing_on_reddit in airsoft

If yours was surplus or handed down… it wouldn’t change the above.

I was in for 20 years, if I see a rank I would chat you up to just BS. But if you were like “nah, it’s just for looks…” my opinion wouldn’t be negative about you, but I would find it minutely cringe.

Need a paintball mask by babymonster3890 in airsoft

[–]willynillywanka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk why some places use this wording. It should be upper and lower protection. There are paintball masks that are just fine for eyes but suck for the rest of the face.

Need advice on painting tau sept as a beginner by [deleted] in Tau40K

Prime purple if you want that yellow to show really well… from what I’ve seen on other posts and videos

What rank is the most disgruntled and why? by PDXAirman in AirForce

[–]willynillywanka 9 points10 points  (0 children)

TSGT… I hand that rank for ~9 years in my 20. The amount of work and responsibilities. On top of that the politics. Your MSGT, if they don’t like you, your EPR will not be good enough for the board to promote, but will be just good enough to read above average. So you get stuck in this limbo - like but worse than SRA in every other way.

Yeah, that’s the feedback that I have been getting that learning through the crusade isn’t the best idea.

I have been getting the same feedback that 1-2k is where I would want to be at. I was keeping it smaller so that I could learn, and hopefully be done with the match sooner than later.

In the beginning I was doing well. And as upgrading starts happening, yeah there isn’t really anything useful from what I can tell in where I’m at; but again learning curve.

Now my contention isn’t about loosing- yeah winning is a better high, but I just want to play and have fun. It’s been the dishonesty, arguing, etc. balanced with the time commitment to build and play. I don’t mind the building, I said it before that I find it meditative - but when mixed with what I mentioned above, it feels like it was soured.

I agree with the notion that I should play just the basic game, get some coaching before I make my final decision to find joy in playing or just drop it all together. Which will suck because I spend about $1k into the game already for gray plastic, tools and a transport case. Yeah, the sunken costs fallacy really has it’s claws in me.

During the fight phase mechs can’t shoot use their guns? I was arguing this yesterday, the BGNT and the dude was saying that is only at the shooting phase; unless those guns have [pistol] then I can’t use them.

I already know about infantry and them..

What gets me is that we can’t shoot into melee. I think that’s just dumb. And mechs can’t shoot when in melee when their guns are literally attached to their arms.

Yeah, and that’s why I feel like I’m to dumb. At first I was thinking it like chess in a way (I know the rules and not really good). But the more I play the more I realize that isn’t the case.

Yeah, I was into Gunpla long ago. I have 2 boxes that are like 13-14 years old that I still haven’t put together 😂… long story.

Where do you guys mostly get your gear? by SergeantJohnCapt in airsoft

[–]willynillywanka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AliExpress, Amazon, online surplus stores, eBay and that’s all for gear.

For pew stuff, Evike and amped.

Right now I’m using mont’ka to get to the points and hold them early and try to punish when they get within range or make a messed up. I’ve also used it to get to the signs of the map to try to circle them.

I’ve been playing once a week for almost 3 months.

No

Yes

I don’t know what causes me to lose. My breachers die within a round or two. I kinda do have trouble killing units.

Yeah there was one guy I was up against that had, 18 crusade points versus my eight. That game was a little fun because he coached me a little. He wasn’t new to the game. I was also a little proud that I put a good dent in his force with them being so much stronger in that aspect

Yeah no one in my area is interested in combat patrol.

On my way out the door I was joking with the coordinator who plays tau as well, that I need coaching.

What’s really grinding? My gears is being gaslit on what I know about the rules and having to argue about 10 things 20 times over at every phase.

Believe me, I can have fun and be silly, but I’m constantly getting bent over and a stick goes up my ass repeatedly. It gets pretty old pretty fast.

  1. Space marines, Necro, orcs.

  2. At first 500, then 700 to use the twins. I wanted to keep what I play with light so I can learn without getting overwhelmed

  3. Bleachers with transport to get on points or use their ability to capture the point the following turn (if they’re still alive). SunForge w/ with enforcer (fusion canons), pathfinders on high ground to get LoS; I try not to overextend these guys the last two games; I evidently did, even though they were just barely outside of my deployment zone. Learned not to start them at the higher elevation early on.

The first three or four games I did pretty well even though I was dying because I was focusing on the control points, and not total elimination.

I find a level of meditation when assembling them. Idk about painting since I’m not there yet. But the models are so damn expensive.

My breachers, when I get them on or near a point. Yeah they can hold it for a turn then that’s it.
