  3. "What was the secret that enabled germans to roll every opponent?" Their generals were allowed to write memoirs post-war where they blamed anybody, except themselves while allied generals blamed all their mistakes on germans having superior 1)numbers; 2)tech; 3)all the above; 4)dieselpunk death robots.

  6. Are there examples where said "superpowered evil side" is actually the real owner of the body striking out to protect it, but also to get back into control while optionally heroic protagonist of the series/show/book is actually a hitchhiker that stole the ride to get revenge or save someone or to keep promise?

  7. "We don't allow you to sell it because of scalpers" Then buy it back from the customer yourselves, it's still on warranty period. Oh, wait, we're not in an era where compnay owners lived through Great Depression and people burning down their offices and factories... yet.

  10. Not drunk, just parasitic. They make no content, they profit from content creators, but at the same time they 1)don't do anything to protect the rights of people, who bring in their profit in; 2)they created a great system to starve their own content creators. I haven't seen many examples of companies, who had figured a way to piss off both the left and the right and their variable views on economic policies, but Google had somehow done it:D

  23. This gun as well as very few post-WWII AT guns(there were less of them designed then during the war. Apparently recoilless rifles took the main part of the niche) showcases how their design requirements are different from normal artillery. These guns need to be as low as possible to have small target profile, need to have a very wide horizontal traverse instead of vertical elevation and ideally should have a ranging rifle(which this one lacks). The fun part is that soviets also had 125mm one, Sprut-B if I recall right. And that both it and this one can use barrel fired ATGMs from their respective tank counterparts(yes, there is a 100mm barrel launched ATGM designed for rifled gun of T-55).

  27. Tbh my headcannon excuse for barrel extension of Auto 9 compared to normal Beretta was that barrel extension houses stabilizating gyroscope and direct feed camera under the barrel. One of the two iconic sidearms of 1980's alongside Terminator 1911 with unsustainable for the time laser sight.

  28. Poles had accepted almost a million belarusians driven away by political repressions from 2020 onwards and 6 million ukranians driven out by russian invasion in 2022. In relation to actual refugees hardly any country in EU had done more purely out of care for their neighbours. The people Lukashenko imported from Syria are NOT refugees, they're people whom Russia claims live in safety and prosperity under russian backed regime.
    150
  29. FBI viewed it as automatic rifle though. Funny thing is that as shown by Project Lightening videos, US troops just suggested to make two different BARs - one LMG(bipod, heavier barrel) and one automatic rifle for troops(lighter, compensator, pistol grip and lowered RoF). Problem was that army compressed both into single gun that was doomed as those requirements opposed each other:(

  34. The fun part is that EVERY Lend Lease shipment was signed by soviet side, that wasn't random items, those were things that we ourselves had requested as critical supplies needed ASAP. The only few exceptions are cases when we were told that something better were available ie we requested motorcycles with sidecar for recon and weapon crews, but americans straight up gave 4x4 jeeps. Another interesting part is that due to proliferation of licensing from US before the war(and straight up straling a lot of a time too), a LOT of soviet equipment was already produced in US. All radio components were US standard, most engines were US derived, US factories already had all the tooling for soviet ie russian imperial calibers and so on. Things like radars were arriving, renamed and then immediately reported as local produced a lot of the time.

  39. @HALL_ VL убийство подразумевает невозможность возвращения убиенного, нет разве? Асгардцы, гномы и пара атак на Землю. Всех остальных вернули. Больше примеров массового истребления не заметил, а Локи(таки сама атака на Нью-Йорк, как минимум, а еще уничтожение ВСЕГО мира Ледяных Великанов. Полный геноцид целой расы) и Старк(привет Альтрон, привет геноцидные корабли Щита, привет дроны убийцы! И это без учета общей безответственности главы крупнейшего оружейного концерна в мире в течении нескольких десятилетий до попадания в пещеру) на пару пробили эту планку с легкостью. Тор тоже влетел на мир Ледяных Великанов и начал убивать местных ради веселья. Щит десятилетиями был единым целым с Гидрой, то есть вопрос уничтожения неугодных людей у них тоже не вызывал моральной диллемы. Это ж во имя свободы и демократии, а значит какая-нибудь африканская деревушка вырезанная до последнего свидетеля нивсчет. Баннер участвовал в эксериментах над людьми с целью создания суперсолдат и в разработке оружия массового уничтожения плюс неизвестно сколько полегло от его нрава случайно.

  40. For some reason, after watching this, I'm more interested in a person who've comissioned it then in a gun itself:D The gun is brilliant for it's time though. Hopefully people will appreciate it. Pity it's not rifled too though. For it's time it would have been...

  42. Ryan, idk if you'd see this comment or if it's old news, but here(Belarus) we have two news appearing overnight: 1)civilian trains from Murmansk and SPB going to Minsk and Smolensk were made to wait between 4 and 6 hours while something else was passing by ie huge amount of cargo going from the north to south; 2)Crimean bridge being shut down for civilians "for repairs". Even though repairs were supposedly going on for months and usage of both bridges was limited. Meaning that likely once again, the goal is to prevent civilians from filming it and bridge likely was brought into "sufficient enough" condition to be used with caution. Or maybe it's just repairs and I'm paranoid¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ Tldr seems like Russia is moving serious quantities of materiel to the northern border of Ukraine and Crimea today.

  43. Interesting how both Madsen and Maxim are both still around in active warzones and out of the whole "original trio" it is only Colt "potato masher", which is absent. Shows how much ahead the latter two were.

  44. Weaponsandstuff93 that why fins are just welding rings on mags so that soldiers can simply rope them and keep their own. Simply solution. Though it probably is the exact result of all this expirience with those smgs:D

  45. South Korea. Because there is a key feature - preventing them from escaping to tax heavens. And there is a history lesson connected to that country aka the law introduced by one president in the past that helped South Korea prosper while making him the most hated person in the country, but somehow not being nulled or revoked by ANY of the next presidents.
    109
  46. Weird question, but... Have you ever considered taking Carl and using an actual WWI era heavy machine gun in MG match? Time would be horrible and you would be exhausted, but then you'd have footage of what those people had to deal with.
    108
  47. @Soul Calibur neither were they simple. Look at Nagant revolver. So much fucking around just to get max power out of short 7.62 ammo. Why? Because they wanted to drill barrels on the same machinery as was used to make Mosins in different 7.62. And yet keep the cartridge short. Mosin itself is notoriously bad for being not any simpler or cheaper then SMLE or Kar98. And definitely much more expensive then MAS-36.
    107
  48. And why you shouldn't buy cheap tools 😅

  51. It's a pity modders aren't interested in breaking down this game for components to make it normal CnC game instead of continuing to use Kane's Wrath, RA3 and Generals beyond expiration date.
    96
  52. The fun part is that Overwatch canonically doesn't have a single LGBT character. Don't believe me? Want to point a finger at Tracer and her girlfriend? Well, we have chinese version of the game that says they're just friends. And chinese version of a comic, that says they're just friends. Surely a company that definitely supported Hong Kong and absolutely didn't steal a prize from a rightful champion for saying that Taiwan exists isn't a hypocritic puppet of CCP, right? And since they're not, there never were and never will be LGBT Overwatch characters. Because Activision likes you just like all other skinwalkers like their prey.

  53. When you just go into someone's backyard, call it Lebensraum and then make a surprised Picachu face at being shot at:D

  54. Weird how Ukraine became battleground for industrial Korean War 2.0 Context: Russia purchases ordnance from North Korea so NK military industry is working overnight to keep up the pace. Meanwhile South Korea became a major provider for NATO countries that donated their old equipment to Ukraine because South Korea was willing to sell modern equipment here and now. So SK military industry working overtime to gullfill those delivery orders so that their clients could retire older equipment and send it to Ukraine. Military industries of both parts of Korea right now are doing their best despite bith sides technically being at peace.
    93
  55. Can't wait to see that in Bioshock 4... or maybe Fallout 5?
    91
  56. Yep, sadly due to being striken with chronic "phonetoahandglueing" she had released them on shallow water in waves too, ensuring their demise.
    90
  57. Better question is - why not? There are some Warsaw Pact equipment types that are simply not produced in NATO despite having a battlefield niche for them. For example SPAA like Tunguska and attack helicopter with transport capabilities like Mi-24. A few years back USMC was looking for Mi-24's and pilots for them as an OPFOR for training. Why not extend it further? Buy a few old Mi-24's, scoop them out of obsolete equipment and remember legacy of S-67. New engines, props and avionics. It would be better for hot scenarios then UH-60 and would serve as OPFOR training for Mi-35 too. I'm pretty sure that there is still enough specialists left in former Warsaw Pact states(and those, who immigrated) who had experience with those helicopters. And it would also allow said states to make better contributions to NATO.

    80
  66. The weird part about M42 Duster and similar vehicles like it's steroid sibling ZSU-57-2 is that VT fuzes were available for both 40mm and 57mm gun. At least from Bofors. So these SPAAGs could be modernized with those and radars similar the one included onto M163(and in case of Duster, there was even separate radar vehicle intended per battery, but none built) and would still be effective even today against drones or helicopters and definitely against infantry on top floors of apartment buildings😅 But nobody modernized them.

  71. The end of WWI. Everyone is mass producing SMGs, LMGs, first semiauto rifles enter the fray and there is even small production of what can be nowaday classified as battle rifles or outright assault rifles. 20 years later, everyone is back to bolt action...

  83.  @lordsummerisle87  the countries you've listed produce their own GPMGs, they haven't switched to "LMG only" ways. And the fact that you're asking about them also shows that you have no idea what you're talking about. 7.62x54R is a rimmed cartridge. RIMMED! That's why they have to always design their own weapons for it. That's why you can always spot an idiot that mentions russians trying to copy MG-34/42 or germans making a copy of ShKAS.
    62
  84. Oh damn, I haven't thought about shotguns when coming with firearms with common ammo for the time. Not AA-12, but damn, you've just opened a whole new can of worms.

Humanity isn't going to keel over and die just because one nation faces reckoning for its mistakes it never apologized for or even wanted to fix. Japan, Russia, China, US. None of them are important to survival of humanity or to progress itself. What happens when old tree falls down in a forest making a clearing sunlight can burst through? Yeah, don't cry for strong nations failing, it's their time.

  90.  @earlahmer5528  not every battlefield is trenches of WWI. In fact muskets wouldn't even exist if such conditions were involved in all black powder era wars as firearms in general would be seen as unreliable. As well as bows and crossbows due to wood and strings rotting away in all the dampness and mud. It'll be a war of shivs and shovels:D Not really much more complex then early revolvers, but only really useful for cavalry, who can't really reload reliably on the move.

  92. ​ @sznikers  russian obsession with causing demographic catastrophes for Russia at least once every generation is awe inspiring, even if terrifying to observe. I mean, what does the biggest country in the world by empty unused territory with not enough active labor force need? Even more land and less people. Trying to cosplay Antarctica for two centuries...
    57
  93. For NV players that pile of gold in Dead Money is sentimental for two reasons: 1)the devs forced the players to abandon it to save their own life as lesson in true value. Players found ways to get it out regardless because now it was more of a middle finger energy moment, Odysseus proclamation of sorts; 2)subconscious reliance on known patterns. We are used to idea of government backing their finances with either direct promise of gold in their currency or at least a gold reserve bail fund for the economy. So they look at that pile as the last hope of Vegas. At that you don't feel like it's your money to spend. Even if the Courier leaves and that money is left unused. Funnily that reliance on familiar patterns works for patriotism too and in weird fashion. From what I've seen, if people would face alternate reality or post apocalyptic scenario, they would choose "old world" symbols that seem right for them even if they don't support them or were from opposing country. "They're bastards, but they're our bastards" mentality... ok, I'm getting a little weird.

  98.  @hadeskingoftheunderworld7010  pretty much. In your case superpowered part coming from the fact that the original owner is a professional soldier with no remorse, whom you don't want to get anywhere near the people you're trying to protect. Like for example hijacking a hitman sent to kill you and your family, but having enough time to at least stop him from going after said family. Now you're stuck with guy, whom is trying to kill them if he gets in control, as your only tool to save them.

  101. Based on second stage with FAMAS where you had trouble with seeing the target, I'd say that the main problem for you was not the revolver, but the fact that you decided to go completely without optics on both revolver and rifle, meanwhile FR1 has you among stage leaders. Am I right to assume that stage leaders on stages where you had trouble had period optics on their carbines and sidearms?
    52
  102.  @planterion7969  the funny part is that bot will now deny the mass repressions against poles in 1939-1941 and 1944-1960's by very same soviet regime to which he claims they should have surrendered without a fight.

  103.  @allangibson8494  Russia still issues modernized Nagant revolvers to post office and railway workers in some of its states. Strategic importance legacy and so on.

  106. Sadly Bethesda failed to recognise it on multiple occasions. That's why people love New Vegas so much, it's not a post-apocalypse story, it's a story of "last ranger/outlaw of Wild West" in the Mojave before civilization takes over it in one form or another. It may be Vegas finally rising up, it may be NCR coming with all its good and bad, it may be a regime of House centered on bringing back "old days" or it may be an ugly face of civilization in the form of legion that throws away any pretense of pre-War ideals and instead follows the rule of might. But it is still a story of Wasteland giving up to civilization. And story of how Courier Six became an Overseer of BigMT facility thus "leaving the world"...

  117. Tbh I wouldn't be surprised if they'd still be useful today, it's just that I don't recall there being many places where troops can be trained in their use and the equipment of specifically horse cavalry wasn't updated in over a century. In combat by deploying as dragoons nowadays they're potentially the deadliest they could have ever been with widespread availability of MANPADs, GPMGs, light mortars, grenade launchers, hadheld ATGMs to be used on foot and even carbines and PDWs that can be used on the horse. In role of actual cavalry scouts they're slightly worse then they would have been around 1980's. By that I mean that electronic equipment like radios, night vision devices, portable reconnaissance radars and now thermals and drones was all at first too cumbersome for individual soldiers, but can be carried around by the horse and used by the rider more easily. Nowadays minituarization led to there not being a clear benefit a cavalrymen would have in this over infantrymen. Unless a horse can carry an active Starlink terminal while on the move, I guess? Then recon potential of horse cavalry is still ahead of its infantry. Might even also add helmet with HUD for drone control since rider isn't as encumbered by personal equipment as soldier on foot. But then again, I don't recall seeing modern kit for horses being designed or produced anywhere in the world. Do MOLLE standard saddles exist? Are there kevlar vests for horses?😅

Sweden and France are basically the only two military industries in Europe that retained independent full cycle engineering schools and full production array from small arms to satellites and naval vessels. That's why entry of Sweden into NATO is a big deal. Especially since Germany is repeatedly refusing to perform necromancy on its arms industry and arms industries of Italy and UK are in comatose state.

  130. Funny considering that infamous polish charge was against infantry, whom they've decimated and tanks were a reinforcements. But who cares to check the origins of those cheap myths, right? Or that cavalry fought dismounted most of the time since Napoleonic Wars. It's also easier to carry around mortars, antitank rifles and machineguns when you have a horse doing that for you(such weapons used when they dismount and prepare for combat, I hope that part is obvious?). Marching speed and distance aren't even comparable. So unless you can readily switch 100% of your infantry to motorized, don't laugh at cavalry.

  141.  @verdebusterAP  1)it doesn't carry them because requirment is specifically to not have ammo inside the vehicle. Every source about vehicle states that. 2)3.7 miles is a rough rounded down range of Ataka, which is 6km, a little higher. Problem is that this is the range of model from 1985, Terminator and Terminator-2 aren't time travellers armed with different missile from soviet era. 9M120M already had 8km range, 9M120D has 10km. I'll take a pity on you and tell that's that roughly 5 and 6.25 miles accordingly. You should also be aware that originally it was planned to use Kornet ATGMs and exactly those were mentioned as option for export vehicles. Max range is also 10km. 3)the vehicle uses both passive(Relict) and active protection systems. None of the above is secret and was mentioned. Which brings a question, are you just blind OR were you lying on purpose? Since you're so sure of absolute supriority of other vehicle, why would the latter one be true? So I wish you to find someone, who can cure your eye problem.

Also was supposed to be China before marketing department showed up! And dozens of other examples. Two latter games are over decade old, Generals is about to hit a second soon. Since then chinese market for videogames grew an order of magnitude. Now they're the biggest market of entertainment that is bigger then US, EU and former USSR states including Russia COMBINED! Because MONEY! Absolutely filthy amount of money. And because people forgot that corporations are created to make profit, not to uphold human rights.

  145. Russian planes have the same problem as russian tanks - corrupt command working on already tight budget that misuses them on tactical and strategic level, doesn't provide sufficient training and regular preventative maintenance and apparently just doesn't care. At all. If NATO and Russia had switched equipment, but retained all other factors, we'd now be watching videos about how bad and obsolete are F-35 \/(-_-)\/ And no amount of field modifications would change those problems as regime doesn't want to change or even admit that there are problems. Russia did to legacy of soviet military the same thing as it did to legacy of education(in technical fields) and industry. The only shocking part is that we were surprised by the former while being witness to the latter for decades. Rot and stagnation aren't things that limit themselves to single niche...

Weird thought, but I've always felt like good explanation for why PRC in Fallout suddenly shifted to AK derivative and Mauser pistol both of which can be produced in a smithy is to saturate the forces with cheap and easy to produce weapons during Resource Wars and possible nuclear conflict. So they expected to 1)face the war on their own territory; 2)nuclear "resolution" to it long before either happened. This shows both how desperate PRC was in 2070's and how nuclear war was nigh unavoidable no matter what tech BigMT would come up with or whether or not Enclave corruption was discovered and leadership arrested.

  175.  @Katyusha11769  said the bot on an empty less then a year old account? Well, the thing I mentioned was scrapping of ALL single engine fighter and bomber jets in russian arsenal because Russia couldn't guarantee the quality and reliability of its engines. The planes scrapped included not only still servicable planes, but also state of the art MiG-27K. Kaira! An attack plane that is better then anything in russian modern arsenal with sole exception of Su-34. Scrapped because they couldn't produce their own engines that were reliable enough to be entrusted to be a sole engine of a military plane. Two decades had passed and the same story had repeated in 2016-2018 when China declared russian engines unreliable, dedicated funds to constructing their own factories and designing their own engines and started their own mass production. In a span of several years. After which they stopped purchasing russian engines entirely. India? Also seeks new partner on aircraft engines to reengine already purchased planes and can cut imports of planes from Russia entirely due to low reliability. So who do I believe? An empty bot like you? Or billions put into steel by several counties?

  179.  @paint4pain  To be fair, soviets pulled out 50mm of penetration out of PTRS/PTRD without APDS. So, you know. You'd need a lot more to justify a gun that can't decide what it is. Especially considering the unmatched mobility of AT rifles that allow them to easily flank or get an elevation on targets. And on the AT gun side of the spectre the other problem is lack of any dual purpose use for this gun. Very niche tool that falls between two much more important roles to fill.

  181. First answer is the most accurate one - US army has a tradition of sabotaging non-american gun developement. Best example are demands for round caliber and power when NATO standartisation was only starting. US planned to sabotage european developement and force NATO to buy american guns. And like usual, they failed to provide their own gun to benefit from all this harm done. FN FAL and G3 are "right arm of free world", M14 is forgotten american failure:D And later on they've introduced AR15, invested 3 decades to make a good gun out of it and are now buying G36 in different body aka HK416/417. They want to profit off from their own allies too much.

  185. That's actually used an example as to why greeks(and largely chinese too, but much later) haven't adopted steam engine beyond using it as a toy a few centuries before Rome was even founded - very cheap labor. When the question had risen again thousands of years later in China, they also didn't have incentive to develop it since even without slavery and serfdom, both of which China abandoned due to massive population growth, price of labor was dirt cheap. Only in sparsely populated Europe destroyed by Black Death centuries prior have the steam engine found its niche. Both China and Greece were caught up in "too rich to care for that" mindset.

By the same logic you've previously used, your "brilliant" example should include first Maxim produced no earlier then in 1889 and first M16 to be produced only in 1965.

  218. Tbh I've always felt like the best use for captured allied and particularly soviet equipment was to give it to major german allies like Italy, Hungary, Romania and Finland. Rather then allowing it to slowly become obsolete, rust in the field awaiting melting that would never happen or forcing germans to diversify training, maintenance and supply. Italians were already looking at turning P75 ie predecessor of M26/40 into their own take on T-34, so why not just give them lots of captured T-34 and allow small italian industry to concentrate on supplying those with spare parts? Romanians did great with french R35, so why not give them S35 and B1 too? Hungarians already are producing czech designed Turan, maybe instead of dismissing czech T-25 proposals, someone should have directed them to hungarians? And so on.

  224. Well, not really. His origin WAs that of Iron Man ie weapon manufacturer that decided to redeem himself, BUT 1)Iron Man wasn't stopping weapons production and redeeming himself before movies, even in animated series he was still producing weapons for government. In comics Armor Wars was his turning point and that happened after Steel; 2)he doesn't have any of Thor's powers. Just Iron Man's ones and even then he's cut short by budget. No army of [Insert]Busters, no army of support drones, no orbital weapons, no nanotech that basically makes one a Green Lantern. NANOMACHINES, SON! 3)Steel was given a short end of the stick because Luthor was redesigned in late 80's to basically be DC's Iron Man. Before that he was a criminal mastermind akin to Fisk, after redesign he became smartest person in DC, richest corporativists on Earth and became a more neutral in terms of his alignment. IE he still will do anything to get what he wants, but now he's also a human supremacist that would act as a hero against alien threats. Problem is in said supremacist part and not all aliens being evil:D So I'd say 50/50

  227. There is no point to replace it... unless you replace the ammo too. So for as long as 12.7x99 and 12.7x108 are around, there is little to no point in replacing them. However with modern tech and materials you can mount 20mm autocannons in same weight/dimensions factor

  232. The interesting tank to mention here too would be IS-3 as it's basically new hull front and turret for same components as IS-2. So there is no way they would screw up engine mounting or oil pan or electric system or welds or roof of engine compartment, right? And yet post war IS-3 created with less hurry and higher budget then wartime IS-2 were infamously bad tanks that were falling apart and declared obsolete by soviets themselves in just two years with revival of IS-5 project. They also have an honor of being the only trophy tanks that IDF didn't want to use as tanks. Meanwhile captured T-55 still serve in IDF to this day as basis for several APCs and recovery vehicles. So maybe, just maybe, those things were falling apart the whole time?

  233. I have a feeling that almost every country that have this mythical land where people have alcohol instead of blood, never heard of common sense, can survive anything and dance with local apex predators. For Russia it's Ural, for USA it's Florida, for UK... what? Australia?

    21
  236. Ah yes, ONTOS, a vehicle despised by army that ordered it, but liked by marines, who were usually getting scraps of equipement. But this time they've gotten a hidden gem by a mistake. For army it was a failed light tank destroyer, fo marines it was doing anything short of flying. Some army general was probably biting his elbows over the amount of marines that DIDN'T die because army allowed ONTOS to pass through the cracks and be delivered to those, who can use and value their equipement:D

  239. What you forget to mention is that poles started cracking Enigma long before german navy had decided to adopt it and before it had gone through several major redesigns. So not only polish efforts aren't connected to the actual design germans used for majority of the war, but the reason poles broke the commercial Enigma was far less noble, they wanted to use it for industrial espionage.

  250. During development of IS they have gone through testing of several 85mm, 100mm, 107mm and 122mm guns. They chose 122mm solely because it had highest armor penetration and retained good accuracy at long ranges(despite WoT creating a myth that it's a shotgun, the A-19 is a descendant of 120mm Canet naval guns that were supposed to penetrate moving cruisers from miles away). Why? Because appearance of Ferdinand forced their hand:D IS-2 exists solely because at the same time germans fielded Ferdinand and this USSR expected that it would be encountered en masse. In fact not only was the choice of the gun forced by its appearance, but first muzzle brake on D-25 was a copy of one from Ferdinand's Kwk43(Stuk43? Pak43? I don't care, it's same gun) due to similar forces in play. It blew off from the gun during testing though. P.S.: alongside a WoT myth people also mention a Discovery channel one created back in 1990's a lot - that A-19/D-25 can only be reloaded if the gun is brought down into ideally horizontal position after each shot. Suffice to say I was unable to find a single reliable(and even unreliable too) source that mentioned that.

  263.  @karolrawski410  maybe. But B-29 was the first truly intercontinental bomber in the world and one that was tooled up for mass production to boot. IE it would have turned japanese cities into firestorms even without nukes. Eventually. Yeah, I know it's horrific to talk about it like that, but that's a statement about unparallel performance of it during those days. For example soviets closed down two of their own superheavy bomber projects and instead pooled resources and specialists from them to copy(with minor changes like switching defense armament to autocannons) damaged B-29. And said soviet bombers were already more advanced then anything Germany had planned. B-29/Tu-4 remained unmatched until jet aviation took over... sorry, I wandered off, what were we talking about?

Here, a little piece from propaganda notebook if you've forgotten yours: Vilnus has polish majority(by polish sources) and is rightfull historical land of Poland(through claim of PLC despite it never being polish). Besides we have taken it fairly and it is better in our hands. Danzig is not the right name of Gdansk, it's a rightfull polish city in an area with polish history(the population of the city is however german majority) that was rightfully given back to us by League of Nations. Zaolsie is a rightfull polish land with polish majority that we have rightfully taken back with our german and hungarian allies partners collaborators neighbours from the bastard czechs that had taken it away from us before when we weren't looking. And it wasn't given us back by the damned League of Nations that had never done any good for us! As you've said it, I see the difference. Except between you and russians. You're awfully similar:D

  278. Well, if it had been done by same manufacturer as actual Martini-Henry... In that case this thing(with better quality obviously) looks like a good sidearm for your soldiers. Since: 1)you're too much of a cheap ass to give a revolver to anybody, but an officer and even they likely bought it themselves; 2)it shares ammo and parts with actual rifle so you can use it as a repair kit and have no trouble with running out of ammo; 3)you have 2 shots of Martini-Henry ready at all times. There was another video on similar gun that was submitted for german trials and shared ammo with Dreyse, if I recall right.

  301. #AskIan Ian, sorry for maybe a dumb question: Are assault rifles actually a true "evolutionary" form of SMG? I mean, original SMGs appeared because there was a need for light automatic weapon. Rifle rounds were too much for that. Fedorov ended up using the lightest rifle round available, italians and many others came to use second available option ie pistol rounds. Both of those were result of using available ammo for new idea. WWI was also the time when the first intermediate rounds appeared later on as bold as it was creating a completly new round out of nowhere in the eyes of military instead of using available reserves. And on the other end of timeline chinese had been calling assault rifles as SMGs for decades and even nowadays we see both intermediate rounds and rifle rounds used by infantry together. Sorry for failing to shape the idea properly before writing it down.

  305. This all reminds me how destroyers started as torpedo boats with guns, grew to torpedo boat destroyers, outgrew torpedo boat part of the name, grew even more with destroyer leaders being light cruisers under other name and now we have destroyers with mass of heavy cruiser, armaments of battlecruiser and pricetag of battleships. And people decided to invent torpedo boat destroyers once again as "cheaper alternative". I've seen this cycle in navy, I've seen it in tank development with MBT being too precious so we now have light and medium tanks back, we've even starting to see it with fighters as every fighter eventually is replaced by much larger multirole fighter-bomber which requires a lighter and more expendable fighters to be on second roles. So now jeeps grew up and for 50th time reinvented armored car. As a result for 50th time some guy reinvented a jeep... Tbh it would have been funny if all the people involved weren't as oblivious about going in circles.

  306. Is it weird that I don't see anything wrong with things you've listed in your original comment?

Country with laws where you're always on the wrong side of the law just by existing. I have to use VPN all the time. You may also be aware that we are(were) called the last dictatorship of Europe, we had the same "president" for 3 decades, we have nigh nonexistent degree of independence from Russia and our land is used as staging ground to invade Ukraine without asking us anything. Tell me, do you think I have any reason to 1)see people owning guns and knowing how to make improvised explosives as wrong? 2)believe any government to be in the right? Nah man, thx, as someone born in USSR, I already had my recommended dose of "socialism" and all other pretentious theocratic bs. If someone tells me that "government/party/fuhrer knows better and they should decide for all" then they should be surrendering their voting rights, not mine.

  314. Inbefore all the "it's T-72 that goes turretless, not T-14 jokes" 🤣 What do you mean by "you're late"? How dare they steal my spotlight?!
    16
  315.  @cd8086  it's not crappy. Morozov, the guy who helped design T-34 and was chief mind behind T-64, never intended tanks of his layout to be used in 2024. He designed a tank that existed in an era when gun stabilisation was rare, laser rangefinder even rarer, thermals were nonexistent, GPS was sci-fi and precision weapons were in their infancy. Swedes faced the same design requirements and created Strv103. However unlike russians they just didn't slap ERA and thermals to it and call it Strv203 and pretend that it's the best tank in the world. T-64 was bleeding edge in 1960's, T-72 was great in 1970's, we're in 2024 ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ It's a fault of neither designer, nor the vehicle.

  316. Ian, is there a point in extending the barrel of PPSh if the gases still has some unused energy left when bullet leaves the barrel? Will it seriously affect RoF into higher numbers and will it cause malfunctions?
    16
  317. William Sager because it isn't AMERICAN, f//ck yeah! It's the same story as with all NATO equipment. Someone comes up with great design, americans say they want a copy of their own equipement and won't accept anything else then they try to sell their own production to everyone since it's already ready... usually they still lose though. That's why we have .308 and 5.56 instead of just .280 British for example. They can still do a few things on their own if the topic is aircraft and navy. However even creating a good tank is beyond them. They needed to parcitipate in two separate joint projects with british and germans to run away with results and use them to build their own thing. So yeah, Abrams is a great germano-british tank:D

    15
  321. Weird question, but since return of T-62 into service coincided with russian arms purchases from North Korea, does the mythical "tank repair plant in Far East that specialized in repairs of specifically T-62 and was untouched by budget cuts while retaining all the skilled workforce for over 30 years of collapse" exist... or are they just purchasing Chonma parts kits and scratching the letterings off?😅

  328. Ukraine had shown that ATGMs need to be used in complex to be effective. There the synergy was between NLAW(lightest and short ranged)/Javelin(mid range, still man portable)/Stuhna-P(massive 152mm duck off tube on a tripod for long range which doesn't require presence of operator near the launcher). Best combo available in the world right now is NLAW/Javelin/Spike. US doesn't operate 2 of those systems. Meaning that they don't have cheap short range system for when Javelin is an overkill and their long range relies on TOW-2+

  329. When you are threatened with receiving 5000 whippings on your back from the line of fellow soldiers until meat will fall off your back and you'd lose consciousness around 500 in and will bleed to death after 1500, order to stand in freezing water for 30 minutes to help save your own ass too from russians thirsting revenge, it kind of puts things into perspective.

  338. 1)peasant didn't work less. Farmers and their whole families work every waking hour to survive. 2)the issue is simple morals. We don't want to bring children into this world if we can't afford for them a BETTER childhood and jumpstart then what we had. And many young people thus just decide that they can't afford to have kids because they don't want to be bad irresponsible parents. As you can see, people who don't care about their kids and partners have no trouble getting someone pregnant all the time;)

  344. Start tutorial, don't build slinger hut to finish it, send water guys to furthest point, leave it running for 20 minutes, finish tutorial, use amassed exp to get to max age, build most pathetic Space Marines, upgrade spawn rate, win. The bug that keeps timer on highscore from starting until you finish tutorial was never fixed. Judging by 0 second highscores, you can even chease it during tutorial stage... or they've hacked the game? Fun game, great music, becomes a bit stale after a while, but has great replayability overall, units look great and so on. I'd recommend House of Wolves from the same author. Mostly for it's main theme;) Turrets are useless though, arrow rain is only ability worth buying. Best to concentrate on universal units and water carriers. Upgrade moving speed and especially spawn rate. Meat wall is best wall.

  350. Tbh, you don't need more then SMG for rear turret gun or hull mounted gun as their task is to scare off infantry, not exactly kill. In your video on M4 hull mounted Browning it was noted that it had no scope or even attached sight and was just a psychological weapon. And it still performed just as good as soviet and german hull mounted MGs. So why waste a good gun for placebo role?;)

Allegedly nobody was hurt by several bombs falling in the middle of the day. We also don't know, who was a dumbass who decided that drop off point should be over your own heavily populated city.
    14
  355. Is it finally the mythical .223 revolver? No?
    14
  356. There were also czech T-24/25 projects. But germans called them obsolete completly ignoring the fact that it was the best that czech factories of the time could have mass produced and it would have still ended up being leagues above older pre-war LT vz.35 and 38. Instead they continued production of SPGs that were limited by older chassis and suspension and later on when things got worse, started production of Hetzer, inspired by Maresal and sabotaged during testing by its head designer, who was a russian immigrant. Hetzer also fully reaped the results of abusing the old obsolete chassis and units(suspension, transmission, engine) of old pre-war tanks instead of being SPG/tank destroyer on newer chassis of T-24/25 tanks. German logic: It's smaller then Panther that is a heavy tank in Allied eyes? Then it's bad! Don't mind us ourselves still producing last Pz.II's on german factories...

  357. AT niche is big and layered. NLAW is a PTRS to Javelin's 6 pounder to TOW2/Shuhna's 17 pounder. They best work when all are available as options.
    14
  358.  @ricardosoto5770  no one is updating it because 23mm was long ago deemed too small of a caliber. In contrast 30mm shells can be used with both programmator or straight up proximity fuze. Hence new ammo on modernized Tunguska and modern Panzir. Not to mention those two can serve as de facto CIWS nowadays being able to detect and intercept even mortar shells. As for drones, the problem is distance. 30mm has better reach, but still not enough for a scout that just hangs 10km away. And when you can buy hundreds of them for 200$, shooting them down with missiles that costs hundred times that is not an option. Hence why 57mm is coming back. Meanwhile USA is reintroducing 45mm and 50mm. Because they can go up to 14km of range. And as always effective counter is always a coordinated system which requires all of the above and many more

  365. Good choice of approach. It is also one that some museums take - if you don't have a real one, order a reproduction made and then use it as a visualisation to tell about real thing. That is done a LOT with medieval armors for example.
    14
  366. Because it's pointless? Our chance to meet anybody is so low due to both distances and TIME(since there is no universal start date for evolution, birth of civilization, etc. We can be among others, we can be first, we can be late) that any effort invested into it beyond normal scientific studies of the universe is a wasted effort. If it happens, it happens. Our job is to preserve biological life, intelligence in our universe and knowledge of our civilization. Mind you, neither of these 3 goals requires survival of humanity either...
    14
  367. Or to american: "They're lazy fucks, they'd achieve the same thing as we if they only worked as hard" to random small countries that don't have native resources not to the point of lacking something fancy as oil or rare earth metals, but simple arable land and fresh water:D

    13
  372. And by what we've heard both were far from stellar. Correct me if I'm wring, but Matilda Hedgehog is one off prototype that couldn't even pass testing proper and is known solely thanks to Warthunder where it's also unusable? Given that track record, it's no surprise people started to ridicule the improvised MLRS above too.
    13
  373.  @truckerallikatuk  so... he's right, that's basically what it is, but you needed to specify the development history?

  374.  ROMAnski  serfdom was abolished in 1860's... on paper. But the land ownership situation persisted the previous order. How many peasant rebellions were in that period right after abolishment alone? Plus it's nice of you to try and paint people, who wanted to destroyy new nations like Poland and hang their leaders as traitors to Empire in a posititve light:D

  377.  @theodorehunter4765  virtually every Western force used G3 and FN FAL then switched to version of G36. This is why AR never was called "right arm of the free world". Including you, HK416 and 417 are G36 in AR body. So cry me a river once you design a good gun instead of adopting german/south african/italian/belgian one. All you can do is wait for next Colt/Maxim/Browning/Ruger and hope that he'll come and solve it for you. American light arms industry is in idea depression for the last 50 years.
    13
  378. Imagine if czechs, finns, poles and russians had an equal input to design AKM replacement? Good ergonomics, 3 round burst, better mounts for optics and grenade launchers, ability to use rifle grenades. And especially no export restrictions. P.S.: add romanian forward grip?

В чью пользу зазывали ребят с МЗКТ, чтобы "лучшие в мире и не имеющие аналогов" баллистические ракеты было на чем хотя бы возить во время очередной ссоры? В пользу Беларуси? Народ все понимает, но и ты пойми хоть что-нибудь разок. Пойми почему Лука в предверии выборов остановил запуск БелАЭС, который должен был произойти в январе. Почему его защищают ваши СМИ, когда он все еще приказывает закрывать российских граждан, которые оказались у нас и говорит о российских "террористах". Пойми, что смотря со своей колокольни, как "единственный посвященный в механизмы реальной политики в отличии от жалкого стада", ты сам позабыл слова старичка Макиавелли о страхе и ненависти. Ты хочешь поразглагольствовать на тему вражеского лобби, дорогой любитель софизма? "Подождите еще 25 лет и все будет еще лучше!".

  392. ​ @khanhnguyen-tt3ff  they wanted to retire it since AH-64 became a thing. Neither A-10, nor AC-130 have any advantages over combination of both helicopter gunship directly supporting the troops AND a multirole fighter armed with guided weapons. It's like trying to retain Churchill tanks for infantry support when you already have Bradley.
    13
  393. People hating on guns are welcome to visit Russia, Ukraine or Belarus. They might rethink their position on self defense once they're robbed by an armed cop in uniform.

    12
  397. ShKAS and MG-131 are two wildly different and yet equally fascinating approaches to the technical requirement of maximising firepower in form factor of medium rifle caliber MG. One increased rate of fire to crazy levels at the cost of barrel life, the other put higher caliber bullet in de facto rifle case to improve firepower at close range at the cost of long range ballistics. Makes one wonder what would happen if both approaches were to be combined. P.S.: there also was a prototype variant called UltraShKAS with something like 3000+ rounds per minute rate of fire and even worse barrel life. It's quite obvious why that one didn't get adopted for service and mass production 😅

For Q&A: 1)how important was Malacca Strait in WWII? 2)slightly off topic - If Japan didn't attack Pearl Harbor and then Philippines, what would have been the event that US could have used as an excuse for escalating conflict and joining the war? Would they be forced to join European Front first instead?

  402.  @josedorsaith5261  more like second contact point. Robo have super strength so to speak, however he still holds it by one hand.

  404.  @CharliMorganMusic  sorry, I've missed the part where you're from a reality where firearms make revolutionary jumps in their mechanical performance every decade unlike our reality where majority of firearms hadn't changed since the 1960's and there are guns from 1910's still in use because major leaps were made in accessories, optics and ammo, neither of which are integral mechanical parts of the gun which would lead to it being obsolete. Must be cool running around with videogamey guns that have +7 to damage or something like that written on them, sadly we don't have anything like that around here:P
    12
  405. Because it was done as requested. AK-12 that was in competition was different rifle from production AK-12. Almost all good features were removed. Basically the whole project was another case of stealing and corruption with "super prototype" done solely to win competition from AEK. And even then, it was mostly just lobby influence that sealed the deal. If Russia would change after these events and shake off corruption and lobbies(I know it's fantasy) then we'll see the "third coming" of AEK and that time it would likely win.
    12
  406. 1)sorry for ranting under a joke. You're free to r/wooosh me later. 2)even if we forget about their licensing problems, having a marksman/"infantry sniper" use rifle based on same system as your other troops is a good idea. Would have been great if soviets/russians themselves switched to that solution and pushed SVD more into SVDK/SVU direction for company/battalion snipers. Yes, there are also those as well as separate ones, spetznaz snipers and so on. And everyone uses different equipment.
    12
  407. Battle rifle is a term invented in 90's to disprove claims of BAR and the likes. Assault rifle is the term invented by germans in 1943. Avtomat? Invented BEFORE WWI and stayed the same to this day:P
    12
  408.  @ThePTBRULES  me, looking at US where you can't talk anything without it being used out of context to ruin your life forever, not having rights unless you can afford a lawyer to defend them and even the famous right to arms being taken away piece by piece: can you point me at that beacon of individualism and freedom? Is it in Mexico or Canada? Because between them I get an "error, subject not found".
    12
  409. Mind you, we're talking about a series that had 7 classes in first game. And fuckers were so lazy nowadays that they couldn't make separate classes for GPMGs, AT rifles and mortars. Resulting in those having no drawbacks and in their dumb spam. Meanwhile you can't do shit to tanks in BF since 1)game doesn't support armor thickness and components on vehicles. You can't get an elevation from upper floor of buildings and just shoot into lightly armored engine compartment ventilation grates. 2)the game has no setting, neither for sides, nor for period. In comparison Post Scriptum had now introduced Battle for France where EARLY WWII equipement can be used. BF uses the same round based lobby system, but devs aren't interested in adding just a few extra models and limiting player equipement choices. So unless Red Orchestra 3 comes out, Post Scriptum seems like best choice. I can't talk about Verdun and Hell Let Loose, haven't tried them yet.

  410. Problem is... Deathhead started by developing plausible advanced weapons for mass production which in turn gained him enough influence and resources to develop his sci-fantasy super tech which in turn allowed him even more influence and resources so he'd be able to dabble into occult... which provided him with clue of where to find "illuminati stand ins" vault of technological knowledge. And he immediatly dropped occult bullshit after that. Strasse is a pragmatic technocrat. He's actually dangerous.

  411. It's an interesting comparison with soviet 85mm, which was also based on Rheinmetall 75mm AA gun. First soviets had designed a new carriage for it, but then they experimented with how much of a caliber increase that gun can survive. Turned out they were able to "stretch" it to 85mm without severe redesign of the system. Meanwhile germans designed a completly new gun from ground up. Tl;dr in terms of WWII engineering soviets knew they were poor, germans acted like they weren't.

  412.  @amerigo88  RELATIVELY short lifespans. We're talking about 25 hour maintenance periods, not full lifespan of the engine. It was the time when engine would be fully dissassembled and checked. So it was normal for engine to survive 2 such periods ie 50 hours or even 3 ie 75 hours. Meanwhile late war prop engines of Allies driven to their limit already had a lifespan of only 100 hours. So "unreliable" jet engine built without required materials could match to a half or more of lifespan of much more expensive prop engine.

You can get GSh-23 autocannon that fires 3000-3500 23mm rounds per minute in the same weight class as M134. And you know that between the bullet of 7.62x51mm and shell of 23x115mm there is hardly much comparison.

Maybe Stalin should have also tried to take South Sakhalin "back" in 1940? Maybe attack Turkey too? It sure sounded like great idea in retrospect, didn't it?:D USSR used an excuse of poor russians workers being bullied and enslaved in Finland when invading and... proceeded only to destroy their workplaces, kill them and then retreat without freeing them? They also didn't found out how Finland bombarded soviet border outpost with soviet artillery from a further inland direction of soviet forces. Teleportation maybe? That tech sure would have turned useful a year later! Did Finland continue to exist as independent nation? Yes. Were soviet commanders prosecuted for this failure? Yes. Were the goals named in soviet propaganda reached? No. So who won, dear? Russia only goes to the table to discuss terms if they're losing. And they did go to that table after wiping their drool and moving the goal post so far up back that it ended in their ass. Oh, and look at that, Erdogan says that Putin is interested in sitting at a diplomatic table, what might that mean?

  435.  @MarvinWestmaas  I mean that propaganda needs not only scale, but time and preparation. It's kind of useless to start washing brains right when you and enemy are about to charge each other. It's not a movie, rousing speeches are hard to deliver and majority of your guys won't hear them anyway. So it's a job of a state to explain citizens when and why they'd go to war... or to come with insane excuses to do so and try to sell them to populace. Usually the side defending doesn't need much help here as people already have a general idea why they're there and what needs to be done. That's the other problem russians have, they do indeed mastered washing the brains... but for parent generation suffering from soviet nostalgia(or rather nostalgia of being young that they misplace to being connected to state), not for those whom they're mobilizing and sending off to die. Again, you don't have to explain much to civilian on defending side, they've seen and know it themselves. And third... stop calling them orks, you're ruining my favourite 40k faction with such comparisons 😭 Russia isn't awesome enough to be called that, it's more of a sad cautious tale that lasts almost 200 years already.

But Ian, you have also ignored the part in earlier video where SMG were filling in the demand for less powerfull and heavy semi and full auto guns that just happen to have pistol caliber since it was the only ammo less powerfull then full blown rifle available. And people didn't have funds to develop intermediate rounds yet. So there should be a distinction of SMGs before and after birth of AR. Because first would be trying to fill the niche of AR, but the latter would be specifically made as SMGs for one reason or another.

  476. "Who would wash in this filthy toxic river?" Well, nowadays it would be poor uneducated population clinging to tradition. Originally? People wanting to live despite living in an era long before antibiotics. River Gang is(or rather was) one of the few naturally occuring habitats for bacteriophage colonies ie viruses that specifically hunt and kill bacteria. They weren't known in the west for a few generations, but finally after collapse of USSR Poland and several other former Warsaw Pact member had finally translated the century of research data to anglophiles:D Nowadays they are used in cases when bacteria in question have high tolerance to antibiotics or immunity to most common antibiotics. In case of antibiotics collapse(ie most common bacteria in the wild get immune to all available forms of antibiotics due to their overuse in animal farming by corporations) they are your best hope. Problem is that they're slow to grow and also need to be specialized to work at their best. Which combined means that almost nobody has a ready supply of them. Except Russia. Part of soviet legacy is to keep a ready bank of those for most common bacterial diseases in case of disaster. Poland probably had one as well, but idk if they kept it going.

And likely not even prison, but a "retaliation strike" to make said person and their family an example, to terrorize populace. Narcos aren't much different from SS or Taliban or Red Khmers. But if your whole neighbourhood, thousands of people potentially own them? Then suddenly you're only facing prison, not retaliation. Because when they come for you, they now fear to turn their back to the doors and windows of other houses. If the whole city district has tens of thousands of potential gun owners, then suddenly police starts looking less into finding them and in many cases they prefer not to imprison the person, who defended themselves. Hmm, maybe there's a connection there between balance of gun quantity on both sides and how easily cops and narcos shit themselves when door creaks behind?:D

Then I recall a story with buying swedish light tank, adding applique composite like MEXAS(hopefully. It looked like plastic though) and calling it PL-01, ingenious design. Then I recall claims to fully phase out T-72's in favor of modern Leo2 modifications, which also failed... until Ukraine was attacked and Germany gave Poland a blank check apparently. I recall stories about their AK rifles and their stock being shit just because they wanted to keep the same length of the weapon lockers as for old AK variants. I hope Poland CAN become a serious military player. I just don't react to something it says it'll do to achieve that though.

  487. 10:50 closed cycle system that isn't connected, but rather is transferring heat through metal plate between two water/oil systems. Use standard recirculating system from infantry gun with all the hoses and the box, but put the box radiator at the bottom of the turret. There it would simply rest on cold plate that has water/oil tubing under it running to engine radiator. I'd rather say that the problem of the system is the assumption that engine radiator can take more workload on itself when tank engines are notorious for always being on the brink of lacking the proper cooling.

  489.  @Edv1718  Valentine? Yes. Matilda? Not so much. Plus you need to consider HOW they used them. Valentine was used by soviet as small infantry tank aka as intended and it was replacing obsolete T-26 in this role so it was doing great. M3 was viewed as medium tank armed with 75mm gun and forced to fill in gaps of T-34... which it obviously couldn't do. So here's the difference of expectations. Problem of Matilda II is that it ran out of modification reserve. Both soviets and british tried to upgun it, but to no result, there was no room, no reserve left in suspension and engines, the tank hit its limits even before it rolled out of the factory. Yes, it had armor that could match KV-1... but also low reliability to match KV-1(or Tiger B), weak niche armament and technical speed too low even for infantry tank. Meanwhile Valentine was providing armor of T-34 in light and compact package with acceptable speed and good reliability and repairability. And later on, it matched armaments of T-34-76 too. Best infantry tank of the WWII if not ever.

  492. ​ @joshuabonilla3491  "to be fair" To be fair "bad arabs, who don't know how to fight" is a myth USSR and Russia used to excuse deficiencies of their equipment. Iraqi tank crews during BOTH Desert Storm and Iraqi War performed BETTER then russians did innpast two years. Despite having worse equipment, being outnumbered and having less budget dedicated to training(as it turned out iraqis were indeed training, not only stealing funds). Especially showing are instances of where iraqi tanks were ambushed by M1A1's and were still able to score hits. Not penetrations, but hits. Some M1A1's were hit several times so likely the optics and turret ring weren't in best condition so it might be even counted as mission kill as those tanks would need to return to camp for maintenance instead of going further. And how they done it? They didn't panick, they assessed the situation, they closed the distance and they returned fire. Without modern or even adequate fire control systems, without thermals, without GPS, without pretty much everything. Meanwhile russians?😂

  495. Sorry for complete offtopic, but I noticed the topic of submarines and wanted to ask what I always wondered: How much cargo could "cow" submarines transport and how hard it was to load/unload them? The reasons I'm asking is a weird one too. Remember Siege of Leningrad? If I recall right, soviet submarines were build in a way that allowed them to pass through soviet channel system which included Leningrad. So I wonder if the city could have been supplied in secret if there was a hidden submarine dock, thus eliminating the (majority of) threat of air attacks that the lake Ladoge supplies faces?

  500.  @randomly_random_0  my comment was the reason the older brother's role was constrained to 5 sentences and everyone was very surprised how Cameron was brave enough to kill off such a beloved character? First scenes with Quaritch in the movie show him acting in what gen Z calls cringe fashion. The script requires him to immediately show off how dangerous and predatory he is... so he starts speaking nonsense in that fashion before even asking for context of the situation he is in. Oh no, precious whale oil. It's so expensive and cool and we, a species that apparently can mass produce artificial beings ie avatars can never hope to synthesise on Earth from just a few samples delivered. Just as a cool space rock is so cool and expensive that it justifies flying to another matter on antimatter engines, the fuel for which would cost several orders of magnitude more then this damn rock and make phrase energy crisis sound as a bad joke. But ngl, the last two are mostly nitpicking since it's obvious that government of Earth is straight up lying to colonists and personnel. Earth isn't dying and all their resources, mined on Pandora cost nothing on Earth in reality, they just want to incite the war to justify destroying local population that would not survive terraforming. So the resource they'd call critical for that isn't important. And neither are sacrificial lamb colonists. Or full trains of arms shipments with equipment like MANPADs that are useful only against RDA own equipment, that lost in the jungle regularly despite there not being enough colonists to justify even a single such shipment even if you force every person to carry extra rifles with their teeth and buttcheeks. Besides I can bet that "Earth was lying" wouldn't be an angle Cameron is going for.

  506.  @paint4pain  1938. 14,5x114 round was developed in 1938 along with the a few AT rifles for it. It was deemed excessive for production just like ZiS-2 57mm cannon in 1940. PTRS/PTRD is a second generation of AT rifles for this round. The closest comparison would be munitions used by 15mm versions of MG-151 autocannon. That one had 40mm of penetration even at 300m if german documents are to be believed. They thankfully they didn't make an AT rifle around it:D As I was saying, Boys was sabotaged by an attempt to cheapen out and use a derivative of .50 cal ammo necked to bigger bullet instead of developing new ammo. Mind you, they had 15x104mm BESA/Brno round in their hands since 1937. It had the same 33k joules as 14,5x114mm of soviets. So allies at the start of WWII in Europe could have had a VERY different AT rifle. And against 1939 german tanks it would have bordered on cruel overkill:D 25mm was still a mounted gun even if a light one. It would have much harder time to find and exploit said vulnerabilities compared to a gun that a 2 man team can handle on their own. Mounted gun that can't fight infantry or provide fire support. No, it is important. Majority of shells used by german and american AT gun crews and tankdestroyers were still HE shells. For example M10's in Italy had as much as 80% of their loaded ammo of pure HE shells. Soviets used HE shells even more often due to their preference for higher caliber guns instead of higher velocity ones, which was partially justified by shortages of high quality explosive filler. It wasn't a bad gun, but it was a gun without a role. As such it was a very niche and expensive tool. I'd actully suggest that better use for this round would be creating an AA autocannon and setting it up the same way as hungarians used Nimrod on tactical level as both SPAAG and tank destroyer. Problem was Nimrod was late.

  534. Main weaknesses of KV-1 were: 1)Voroshilov being a moron, who almost cancelled development until appeased with the naming bribe; 2)some f//cks making T-34 use same engine and gun; 3)low load cranes on many factories; 4)overrating engine instead of derating it as well as overloading transmission. They tried to run V-2 at 600hp on KV-1, but V-2 on IS-1/2/3 ran only at 520hp. Otherwise a great tank, especially for its time. Ideally KV should have gotten sloped front, lowered side armor thickness, new transmission and derated engine. And be produced instead of T-34 as "universal" tank until 1943. Edit: another small correction, KV-1 had superior firepower to T-34 despite having de facto same gun and ammo. KV-1 had dedicated loader and the crew weren't choking on fumes. So unlike T-34, KV-1 crew could both really achieve the stated RoF of the gun AND allow commander and gunner to do their jobs unopposed. Same gun=/=same firepower.

  535. Another big factor here is that it might be a big enough order to 1)provoke other NATO members into buying it or alternatives to send "someone" a message of staying where they are; 2)spin up the production cycle of the missile which would lead to it becoming cheaper and someone becoming more willing to use it or selling it to states in need.

Russia can't exist without nationalism, imperialism, authoritarian rule and nostalgic propaganda that calls to monarchists and socialists alike(which combined with rampant nationalism makes tankies... well, you know the word😅).

  568. 122mm was chosen because it simply was a more powerful gun. No ifs or buts about that. That's why it stayed on IS-3 and even T-10. And no, D-25 wasn't available in infinite numbers either, in fact it was a more expensive gun. Production of IS-2 caused shortages in production of ISU-122 and ISU-122s(even if only the latter uses D-25) whenever IS-2 had an above average monthly production. As a result in those months ISU-152 production was going up as well. Guess why? Because they used only different guns so any finished vehicles waiting for the gun was simply equipped with 152mm cannon-howitzer and added to those production numbers. There were even tests to put A-19(aka original without muzzle brake) onto IS-2 later one because D-25 wasn't produced in high enough numbers. D-10 maybe had a value as gun option for commander tanks, but that's mostly it. P.S.: You people are also forgetting that D-10 is actually harder to reload in IS-2 turret. It has comparable recoil distance to D-25 due to lack of muzzle brake and also as it uses single piece ammunition, the round is very long and heavy. D-25 takes longer to reload, but is actually easier. If you understand basics of geometry, take IS-2 blueprints available online and just look at the amount of space behind the breech you need when you use single piece ammo. And if you can reload D-10 at all once the axis of the breech crosses the back of the turret ring when the gun is elevated at certain degrees. This is why proposed 105mm gun on Tiger B had to be switched to two piece ammo to even fit in the turret. Same thing with 100mm gun on IS-2. It isn't much lighter, isn't recoiling less and definitely isn't easier on the loader to operate.

Russian military in Ukraine is "small"(yeah, compared to mobilized country fighting for its life and in terms of infantry alone?!) solely because Russia can't control more. They're aftaid of domestic protests, they lack trained officers and NCOs(whom were never the focus of thier military training), there is a limit to how thin they can stretch chechen forces at the back line to prevent soldiers from leaving(they already failed on several occasions).

The only domestic rifle with modern mounting system was produced in small number only for special ops.

Which they could have bought on the market just like chinese did(ZTZ99 is called lovechild of T-80U and Leo 2 for a reason). So all in all, nothing that they can replicate, use or learn without changing their approach to tank design, milotary doctrine, economy, education and politics 😂

  583. ​ @tona4x7  tbh the easiest is to introduce another "double 0" as second main character for a movie alongside Bond as younger protege(yes, I'm straight up plagiarizing Mission Impossible here) and THEN see the reception of the character. If they'll do great(which depends on actor and script), then you can do a pseudo-spinoff in same universe.

  587. Except it was a formal alliance, Molotov had gone to France almost immediately after the end of polish campaign to start talks on alliance against Germany. Except, you know, soviets haven't thought that 1)France that had the biggest military industry in the world would just fold like that; 2)Hitler would be ballsy enough to go for 2 front war and still attack them. Planning rearmament to end only in 1943 was basically dropping the pants, turning around and assuming position if you'd allow such analogue and had almost ended up as irreparable disaster... and for several millions of young men, who had to fight for each kilometer of delay, it did.

  588. And this is one of the things that raises a question of how much difference is between shotguns and grenade launchers, considering they have a common caliber range around 25mm(I feel like I need to specify that this is around extreme maximum for shotguns and likewise minimum for launchers), existence of explosive frags for shotguns, canister shots for grenade launchers, low pressure compared to rifles and cannons both use and so on. This thing can be loadad with modified AGS-30 grenades.

  590. Sorry for asking, but there are two questions I've been trying to figure out: 1)"russian" T-62's. The russian media official excuse for getting them back into service was that a factory specialising in their refits in Far East had survived the corruption that had striken T-72 production lines over the years. The reality however is likely connected to the fact that right before that Russia started buying north korean ammo in bulk. And North Korea is main producer of T-62 nowadays. So Russia could just be buying repair kits from NK if not outright delegating the repair work. How can this be checked? Are there any particular markings on north korean engines or transmissions or other units that should be on destroyed T-62's if that were the case? 2)T-72 numbers. Russia has insane disparity between the amount of those it had claimed to be in use and the amount it had when it needed them. Where are they? Were they lost in Syria? Were they cut down and taken for parts to allow production of T-90A and other vehicles like MSTA-S back in 2000's? Were they just sold under the carpet? Or have they never existed and are result of inflated propaganda numbers cooperating with low quality intelligence reports of other countries? Again, how can this be checked? Can serial numbers on units inside T-90A tell if they were taken from T-72B? Hopefully my comment makes sense😅

Also the story surprisingly lacks two pages of pain about actually choosing a cartridge that would be standardized when talking about higher ranks not putting their career at stake over buying MGs. It wouldn't be just a cost of MGs, it would be a decision that would decide main cartridge for all US branches of the military if they had to do that, which was impossible for them to make. Or am I getting it wrong?0_o

Historical Lithuania is made up by territories of modern Belarus, part of Lithuania and a bit of Russia. Samotija is Lithuania and Latvia. Ruthenia is Belarus, Ukraine and part of Russia. The same bullshit is used to claim the majority of Commonwealth was polish by pretending that belarussian and ukranian languages don't exist and counting only population using lithuanian language in MODERN understanding to count as lithuanians. Basically all the same tools of cultural genocide used by russians are also used by poles.

It doesn't have nukes, it doesn't have territories, factories and ports outside of range of russian missiles, it doesn't have around 20 million "undesirable" recruits from poorer region that would be thrown into the grinder. But it has been two YEARS when Putin promised two weeks to Odessa. Will Ukraine eventually fall due to inability of current cabinet to sue for peace and lack of international help? Yes. Maybe in a week, maybe in 5 more years. But prorussian appeasement and peace dividend fell over, russian prestige, economy, military image, position in relation to other partners on global stage. It changed and it won't return now. People finally looked at mighty Russia on the map and found out that not only is it's projection onto the map a visual illusion, it's mostly empty and inhospitable. And when looked at actual population and GDP/c with removal of oligarchs, it's not such a big country all of a sudden😅

But once again there was de facto no budget allocated towards pursuing that as a priority. Even as tens of thousands of people were rotated through frontlines in 2014-2021. So instead of NLAW/Javelin/Stuhna situation where there are several modern capable systems in close niches covering each others weak points and saturating capability in general, there was nothing... imagine if Ukraine had several dozens launchers and several hundred missiles in past few months before things got bogged down? And it's not just corrupted oligarchs or prorussian vs reformers or Zelensky's vs Poroshenko's fault. It all of those at certain parts with hundreds more factors on top. But mainly inability to take early wake up call seriously. And not just for Ukraine...

I'd say MUCH better then what even regulars and mercs they've sent into Ukraine got, not to mention the poor sods they've "mobilized" in occupied territory beforehand(that's also likely the guy with Mosin. They don't care what he's armed with since his job is basically a meatshield to bait out ambushes and he has no firearms training). So yeah, spending priorities say a lot:(

  649. Lahti is a weird example as while it wasn't as good as PTRD/PTRD for antitank role, it was brilliant as light autocannon. Sadly only japanese understood that and they obviously never had one in their hands:)) But I heard that finns DID use a few Lahti's in pair as AA guns. Where Lahti would have shined is a role of tank AA HMG, something americans had filled with .50 and others mostly filled with nothing as .50 HMG costs the same as 37-47mm AT gun to produce for most countries. Lahti 20mm AT rifle was much cheaper and would have easily filled that role. After all, main point of tank AA gun is not to shoot down a bomber, but to scare it away. And a dozen 20mm tracers fired from all tanks in column can scare away both Stuka and IL-2 just fine, even if in reality having little hope to shoot them down(IL-2 due to armor, Ju-87 due to dive angle).

  660. Question with a long context explanation: a decade or so ago Ukraine was developing an elongated T-72 and T-80 with a pseudo troop compartment in the back, behind turret, but in front of the engine with space for 3 people. It got an extra set of roadwheels so it was able to handle more mass and obviously was itself heavier then normal T-72 and T-80. Project was sort of cancelled since it was leading nowhere, but prototype remained. Then there was a project to install a "NATO compliant" 120mm gun into T-80 and put the autoloader into the turret bustle and equip it with blow out panels. It existed, it worked, but budget wasn't there so it was cancelled too. Seemingly unconnected stories. Until around 2017-2019 Ukraine showcased new recovery vehicle based on T-72 which for presentation was dragging around... elongated T-80 with said turret with bustle autoloader. Comments are closed under the original video, no info was given about that monstrosity outside of possible weight of 55 tons. Since bustle is above the former "dismount" hatches, those were obviously unusable and welded shut. So, what was that? Just a way to preserve two separate prototypes? Or was it a new tank development in itself? It has massive amount of unused space in the hull thanks to former crew compartment and removal of hull autoloader. And quite a hefty weight reserve if 55ton figure is true. So what was there? Attempt to install thicker frontal armor without overloading frontal roadwheels? Crew capsule experiment? Extra fuel tanks or ammo storages to avoid using external ones that everyone's trying to mount on T-80? What was that tank?

  670.  @n147258noah  it wasn't unique problem and the source was actually poor ammo quality. ShKAS had special high quality ammo labeled with aircraft propeller made for it for this exact reason. Problem was solved only after Lend Lease started... and majority of arriving ammo in first batches was unusable for ShKAS:D Local factories operated on various "know how" basis depending on individual factory, but never have put their own adjustment to technological process to paper. As the result ammo produced in US had followed obsolete specification and as such traces of powder and sealant were reacting and de-sealing rounds. As such the bullet was easy to pull out of the case and could easily malfunction. The result was that US designers had chosen different sealant for the next batch based on provided info and then new sealant was adopted in soviet production too. Basically the problem was treating the issue as temporary one and instead of resolving it, allowing it to continue and use separate ammo made on "know-how" basis to be used in ShKAS.

  675.  @BicyclesMayUseFullLane  there is nothing fair: 1)no member of SG1 or other heroes ever misses when using Goa'uld weapons. Ever. Even after it was significantly nerfed from original movie. The other important factor that is overlooked is that originally it isn't supposed to have normal sight just like smartgun from Aliens and custodian spear from 40k. Because it feeds image from reticle straight into the Jaffa servohelmet's HUD. The eyes of the helmet never line up with the eyes of an actor using them so the only way it can work if it's cameras feeding into monitors, same as space marine helmet. Combined with the fact that Goa'uld are confirmed to have expendable gun sentries that you can throw out as grenades with their own AI and thermals, holographic and neural interfaces and other tech, it doesn't seem as stupid as show runner just not caring about consistency of their own show in the long run. 2)P90 is a PDW. Staff isn't. If I started comparing PTRD or M203 to MP7 in terms of rate of fire, would you think that I have a point or that I'm a dumbass comparing different tools made for different task in criteria important to only one of them I'm biased towards? Goa'uld's PDW is called Zat, it fires either in burst or in full auto, likewise never misses in protagonists hands, has unlimited ammo and requires no maintenance. It's also imbued in magical plot powers in regards in what it can do - stun/kill/*disintegrate*

  686. They're also getting AMX-10's(wheeled assault gun, but good one), if I heard right, so now Ukraine can possibly decide to split off BTR-4(which is IFV, not APC despite the name) and mix them with AMX-10's fire support to get enhanced mobile divisions, while Bradley's will likely go to enhance heavy(ie most modern) tank battalions to replace or at least support current BMPs that support those tanks.

So they'd be more cautious with it and prioritise it's production more; 2)MLRS(unguided) is easier to produce then full blown SPGs as far as I know so again, higher priority in production to get more firepower; 3)I don't recall mass usage of MLRS breaking news and neither their mass losses. If anything, it's the equipment you'd expect to see more of, unlike critically important, but slow to replace IFVs.

  690.  @rodney2x48  fan theory is that Krypton self isolated because they have witnessed effects of yellow and blue sunlight on newest generations of kryptonians and some even speculate that Earth was an abandonned kryptonian colony ie why humans and kryptonians can have children. It's all and good being a galaxy spanning militarist xenophobe empire until your own rioting citizens on some far away colony get superpowers strong enough not only to resist arrest, but to duke it out with your battleships.... well, maybe not battleships, but with kryptonian empire equivalent of a tank for sure. And that is what DC lacks, background galaxy where events happen. Earth is the only hub for all storylines, empires of Mars, Thanagar, Tamaran, Apocalips and New Genesis are mostly ignored. There is no mention of continuos Cold Was between the latter two that forces Darkside to work through agents and provocation, there isn't actual diplomacy between thanagarians and tamaranians, there is no explanation about the state of Mars. Universe of DC lacks context so people are rarely invested into storylines.

  694. Best comparison for T-72 would be TIE Fighter from Star Wars. It's a simplified cheap product designed for mass production and just being good enough, fully relying on doctrine used during its creation for success. However that doesn't make it anywhere less deadly in right hands and conditions. It's the latter which Russia lacks, because it's no USSR. Majority of training facilities were closed down, there is no budget for training exercises and maintenance, the elements of combined arms it relied upon were either lost or became obsolete, officers were appointed for connections and busy with stealing and bootlicking and so on. Neither of that was the fault of guys, who designed T-72 half a century ago. And just like TIE it would do better if it was remotely controlled;)

  721.  @jswjr6001  you're correct, however he never claimed that Chinook was a heavy lift. Tbh putting soviet/russian and american helicopters into one classification simply doesn't work. For example, two most widespread and produced helicopter "archetypes" are Huey and Mi-8, produced under dozens of names and configurations in dozen countries over half a century. Both are claimed to be medium ie in the same class. But when you look at them it's obvious that they're not as either Huey is light or Mi-8 is heavy OR medium means "99% of all helicopters ever produced" and has no connection to size, mass, power, etc.
    6
  722.  @jcraigie  are you answering to me? 56 tons is maximum liftoff capacity of Mi-26 ie it includes Mi-26 itself and it's fuel. Maximum load is still listed as 20-22 tons in all sources. OP claims it can lift 56 tons, which it can't. So I want to see his source. Why is it important? T-64B MBT and Mi-12 remains the only instance of helicopter being able to airlift contemporary for its time MBT.

  723. What fascinates me is that rifles like Chasseport, Henry, Vetterli and so on were produced when militaries were still shooting at each other with smoothbore muzzleloaders. And the idea of Dreyse rifle that predated them by several decades is outright terrifying.
    6
  724.  @jmjedi923  that's the point though. It wasn't "two SMGs", it was "two SMGs used on a mount either on position or as aircraft weapon". By the time of WWII we see rifle caliber MGs being deemed insufficient. But in WWI a quick firing stationary gun with pistol ammo was called devastating. Meaning that for a soldier there wasn't really much difference what to be hit with ie reports were done by soldiers. Later on that angle was lost, concerns and fears of simple soldier didn't matter. It was all about that calculated design efficiency of overmatching capabilities of your opponent to quickly overwhelm them. Despite the fact that even nowadays soldiers DON'T want to get his even with pistol ammo;)

Likewise Moskva was sunk by ukranian Neptun antiship cruise missiles designed exactly for the occasion. Bayraktar drones? They use ukranian engines.

Live round would have trouble going through some adapter designs. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

No, I didn't misname F-35, I mean J-35, a plane that had just taken all the export contracts Su-57 could have ever hoped to have IF it had gone into production. Will Russia dare to piss off China by proposing sales of planes to India and piss off main chinese ally against India ie Pakistan, by selling to Iran? I highly doubt that. And that means that Su-57 will have neither economy of scale, not exports to lower its price. Meaning that Russia will NOT be producing it. They will beg China to sell J-35 instead. I can bet that on May parade in 2030, it would be J-35 flying over Red Square, NOT Su-57 🤣

For US to intervene, even if mexican government would somehow agree to allow that, they'd need to run "hearts and minds" campaign to raise support for US intervention among the populace... you know, something that wouldn't even have been an issue if jobs and industries from US weren't sent to China for no reason and instead had gone to their closest neighbour, eh?

Equipping FT-17 with thermals doesn't make it stop being FT-17. T-64 was a tank designed according to doctrine, threats and views of the time. T-90M is a final step in that long bloodline... of inheriting 1960 views on battlefield and war. T-14 is radically different specifically because it's first time in decades when they stopped to think for a moment.

Worked for them for almost a century(well, they started much later with that, I'm just saying that it's 97 year old company). Tje problem is that you can't trust drivers to have same qualifications as pilots... and can't have a traffic control tower on every crossing😅

  764. Tbh the only thing anybody expected from that competition was to see next gen 5.56 ammo(yes, 5.56. Nobody cares for weird calibers either as NATO standardisation has higher priority), be it steel base or full polymer case. Nobody expected any rifle to actually "win" and Sig's rifle here is holding only through sheer lobby effort. Not saying it's bad, just that it's not actually filling any new role that current iterations of M4 and M16 don't already.

  766. What a coincidence that after decades of doing business with Russia, both China and EU in the end decided "screw that, we'd rather pay africans for raw resources" and decided to invest heavily in massive infrastructure effort on the continent. Truly a thing to remember if you decide to invest money in russian state:D

  770. >SUSAT is called old(surprised that we're at this point) >All of the so called near pear opponents, who are not NATO members either have worse and less widespread scopes(China) or don't have scopes for the troops at all(Russia) So how exactly is it obsolete? If you have infinite budget you can likewise buy one of those Boston Dynamics robots and give it a rifle. Does it make humans obsolete? Nope, you're just showing off with your finances:D All those thermal digital scopes with automatic correction for weather, barrel bend, Earth rotation, tine dilation and so on are 1)very expensive, heavy, fragile and need someone smarter then normal grunt to operate; 2)provide miniscule increase in effectiveness of the soldier. Compared to just making sure that they're fed, warm and rested that's placebo effect. Because soldiers aren't tanks, IFVs or helicopters, their weapons don't benefit from all that extra accuracy. You can mount Hubble as a scope to your pistol, it'll still be just a pistol. Just with almost two dozen tons of extra dead weight...

  771. First they announced that all tanks in inventory would be upgraded to Twardy standard and even additional tanks would be produced. That wasn't done. Then they bought CV90105 from swedes, added plastic(but hopefully the idea was to add MEXAS) to it, called it PL-01 and said that it would be produced in Poland. It wasn't done. Then they announced the big purchase of Leo2 updated to new polish classification. It wasn't done. And now we're here, talking about Abrams. I wonder how it'll end? Maybe first Poland needs to fix its government by removing corruption, senile "conservatives" and russian fanboys? Then I would happily watch them take any of the steps above. Or preferably all as they're not exactly contradicting.

  772. I just love it how japanese were able to construct such advanced submarines as infamous in it's lack of action I-400, BUT at the same time completly ignore 1)all the potential of actually using them; 2)realising said potential in hands of the enemy and taking steps in defending themselves.

  776.  @jackwhite8204  that's the part Tolkien prefered not to touch upon. For example his orcs are based on combination of legend, but also real slavs, vikings and mongols. He had said that they are evil by nature and can't be redeemed. Mind you, when he said it, british jingoism was all the rage and "commies" were dehumanized as easy target all eover wstern Europe. Time passes, certain events happen, true horror of Holocaust gets exposed alongside at least a quarter of what was done to slavs, romanies, chinese, koreans and many others. And suddenly out of nowhere good old professor changes his opinion to saying that orcs aren't evil, they're "just following orders"(does that sound familiar?) and real culprits are only Morgoth and Sauron. But I really like this part of his worldview truly shifting or at least pretending to follow the new trends.

  779. @Drew Peacock you asked what was the point of nuking western Europe during invasion. To eliminate the threat. And to deny US forces an easy bases with access to soviet borders. USSR expected next war to be a copy of previous one, war for elimination of its populace. So any attack would be answered with full force.

  780. Interesting fact: despite CCP talking a lot about "One Country, Two Systems" in regards to Taiwan and claiming it to be part of their country, PRC never asks permission of Taiwan to use UN Security Council veto. Meaning that every resolution that Beijing vetoed de facto passed because it wasn't vetoed by Taipei too 🤣

  781.  @michaelwebb3553  Eradicator is basically "antropomorphic personification" of Fortress of Solitude. Which was an exploration vessel! Now imagine what kryptonian military tech can do;) But yes, it's a "hologram" that uses equipment of Fortress to simulate its own abilities. Manipulation of energy, gravity, energy-mass transfer and basically everything we had seen Fortress do. Eradicator is basically a targeting drone for Fortress. He finds the target and sends a power request, Fortress manifests that power.

  783. Problem with 105mm is that the most potent round it can have is in case you DO run into enemy armor is M900, which is de facto equal to ballistic capabilities of 2A46 of T-72. Except T-72 is more likely to survive the hit... even if russians still haven't learned what is a MRD and why it's important for FCS.

  787. "This battle consisted of 10 billion men all fighting in melee... no, we'll not be explaining how they all fit inside a parade square of one city and why gravity haven't killed them all first" is pretty out there together with classical "we have supersoldiers, who can perceive a target that moves fast enough to be invisible to normal human and who can operate for months without resupply so we'll give them a primary weapon with like 120-160 rounds of ammunition and then expect them to fight in melee where they lose majority of their advantages". Thankfully the "it's all due to imperial pictographers and chroniclers wildly misrepresentating actual events for the sake of propaganda piece" excuse still exists.

  788. I may be horribly wrong, but I feel like in modern terms this one could be best suited for GPMG role unlike Madsen, which is LMG despite both being called so. No idea why my mind goes to that conclusion. I feel like that's because you mentioned cavalry and I don't see this one being used by one guy, let alone mounted if push comes to shove. Unlike Madsen, that can double up as "battle rifle". I guess it falls down to magazine vs continuous feed bias?

  789.  @dwarvensphere1094  there is an old anecdote about how Nazi Germany could have won WWII. "To win WWII you just need to follow this simple 5 point plan: 1)don't start WWII; 2)don't take part in WWII; 3)don't be Nazi Germany; 4)don't be Germany; 5)just don't..."

  790. Suprisingly the way they've made the movie it sounds similar to inventor of Owen SMG. It might not have chnaged the war, heck, might not have changed it much even for Australia, but it gave people hope. Interestingly enough or maybe weirdly, Fedorov isn't in the movie. And he was the one leading the avtomat competition and group of designers that created the round. It's like as if you've cut awat Von Braun out of Autumn Sky. Even if fictional, Fedorov and Kalashnokov should have met. Simonov, Shpagin, Degtyarev. They all started under or consulted him in 1920's.
    6
  791. It's not about armor, it's about range. Artillery is kept at around 30-70% of it's max range into the rear depending on the situation. HIMARS is used with ammo that has at least 80km range(Ukraine has soviet era MLRS systems for closer targets) so your drone is supposed to go for 20-60 km into enemy territory after alarm is raised, search it all, find something and then signal for attack. While being in territory with best AA protection on the front. Are you okay?:D

  792. Muzzle Reference Device aka MRD. Widespread on NATO tanks since Desert Storm era. First appeared on russian tanks in 2016 on T-90M. Says a lot about how much behind someone is in Fire Control System aka FCS tech if that wasn't an important part for them until recently 😅

  794.  @Ahloveyafuhso  yeah, as well as 1)army was in Gotham in full strength and were willing to turn the city into rubble to kill Bruce. Only presence of Kal, who was supposed to handle situation is holding them back; 2)USSR was still few minutes from launching full scale retaliation strike. If the news of Superman being killed would get out, say hello to our old friend, nuclear apocalypse; 3)to win, Bruce would have to abuse Kal's trust. And while he despised Kal's support of goverment, he was still his friend and cared about him. That's one of the reasons he's so pissed off when he finds about the nuke. So all the preparations, radiation and "lack of sunlight"(that one was actually a bad part of comic. Several scenes later on happen during the day plus Kal can just fly somewhere else to recharge, simplest option - space itself) are secondary to main problem - Bruce was never willing and stupid enough to actually win that fight. Yes, with preparations it is possible to take Superman down, that's why Lex even exists. In fact most Superman enemies are this way. And to those, who aren't... Kal himself is becoming Batman of sorts. It is the only way he can fight Doomsday nowadays.

  796. First russian aircraft carrier was a blimp carrier commissioned at aftermath of 1905. Then there were land based experiments in 1930's. Then Kiev. Problem isn't in first carrier, it's in inability of russian states to learn and adapt. Thus they fail to make a good design and at the same time fail to survive.

In soviet design bureau work philosophy second place was the best place for some people. All the privileges, but no risk.

You can even look up how they pay for them. Russia is AFRAID to sell them anything exactly because it'll end up in chinese hands. The things you've mentioned are sold to India and T-90s are sold with armor packages REMOVED and supplied by separate monitored deal. Both Russia and India are scared shitless for their lives and thus they cooperate(recently US and EU remembered that India exists), China provides North Korea ie it's de facto colony and Pakistan ie it's backstab against India in case of war. It won't help though now that US is chinese bitch.

  816.  @nil981  1)that's the point - they don't have armor. Basic .308 would trash FPV drone from hundred meters away; 2)APS systems are made to target and intercept ATGMs. If you believe that slow and easier to spot FPV drone is harder to target, it's your problem. The solution to FPV drones is the same as it was in 2016, almost a decade ago - slaving RWS to APS sensors. And basic PKM/M240/M60 is more then enough for that. If your tank was ambushed because it had gotten into tree line, it's a user mistake. The same as driving a tank into narrow street between several 9-20+ floor apartment buildings and then saying that RPG-7 to the roof is hard to counter.

Even before Mark IV, soviets used licensed copies of optics used by US and UK which they've bought together with Cristie and Vickers tanks. The only original tank before that was T-18 and it has a pretty good commander's cupola despite being basically analogue of Fiat 3000 and other FT-17 redesigns. Tl:dr you're saying that british and american tank optics sucked?:D

  823.  @shaun7142  there is another problem. Israel abandoned information front entirely. And as many people noted, that's bad, really really bad, especially for palestinian civilians. Hamas cares only about getting "martyr" footage. Meanwhile IDF commanders are likely saying to soldiers "well, you'll be portrayed evil for defending your home either way, so better be too careful and return home, right?". If Israel was at least trying to oppose Hamas propaganda campaign with their own, they would have had a reason to hold back when civilians are involved. But this way only lives of their soldiers matter. Hamas victory in information war also means that there will be no peaceful resolution and there will be no international observers and peacekeeping force to protect civilians either, because they don't want that.

  827. I would suggest RAF raids on Berlin during the peak of Battle of Britain as better example. Germans were a month, maybe two away from completely breaking RAF's spine, but after the raid they recalled some forces back for interception to keep an image as well as switched to bombing even more indiscriminately thus lowering the strain on airfields and factories. This was one of the factors why they couldn't win in Battle of Britain and probably the day Germany consciously chose to lose the WWII ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

  836. @Crandaddygaming Nah, it doesn't require more effort. I'd even go as far as to say it's easier as it removes the need to set up background of your character and how they know everything. You're just an explorer, who travelled along with an expedition to a yet unexplored city. You seek lost tech, forgotten valuables and simply breaking down millions of tons of steel and concrete you see before you into materials that can be sold to the state you came from. Add New York and Philadelphia, add sequence of arriving on a train and unloading with hundreds of other workers and equipement, add characters coming from both Commonwealth and Washington DC without mentioning who won(or just go with traditional "everyone lost"). Boom, you have Fallout 5. Just divide the city into many load zones so that you can avoid making buildings inaccessible. It also means that you can add new zones of this two cities in DLCs. Won't spoil more of the plot though;)

  855. Considering we have gone back to 50-57mm autocannons thanks to (partially) helicopters and (mostly) cheap expendable drones that aren't cost effective to shoot down with a missile, will US army look at possible low caliber autocannons/low velocity cannon/launcher combo akin to russian BMP-3/BMD-4 armament in two interchangable turrets? Or is developing analogue of russian tech with "can't even imagine how many times of russian military budget" level of financing is hard?

  856. As a person, who was born in USSR and spent the rest of their life in eastern europe, I always disliked police pretending to be civilians. Because usually you see them doing that when they try to provoke anyone to resist them for example by breaking into your car and then arresting you for attacking a cop just to fill the quota. "We're civilians, but we're not civilians and we do anything we want because you live in authoritarian state", lol:D Idk if their "popularity on TV" says more about your country or about them.

Beginning of the video: Flight Simulator footage, that doesn't have zero visibility that actual event had, not to mention other inherent inaccuracies. Not to burst a bubble, but somewhere in the world there would be an aircraft accident in a few minutes. Then another one in less then an hour. People apparently have no idea about the insane amount of aircraft in the sky at any given moment and how in such a high stress for both people and machinery environment it's a goddamn miracle that they're not as widespread as car accidents. And that's just first 5 seconds, I haven't even watched the video yet and I'm already pissed off😅

  862.  @MrDarthImperius  there are two factors at play here that come from who's the user here. Special Operations units: 1)need optics. No question. So they simply have no other options produced in Ukraine as AK-74 haven't gone through modernization program there. There were and (especially now) still are far more urgent things for Ukraine's miserable military budget. Sorry to say it, but the personal weapons of ordinary soldiers are at the bottom of the list. I guess the idea was to use small scale production for special units as stopgap until money becomes available otherwise I would have just imported the guns instead; 2)around the world special units require smaller dimensions from their weapons without sacrificing effectiveness. Weirdly enough it means increased weight in shorter gun. So they are ready to sacrifice even weight for mobility in close quarters or when exiting a vehicle.

  863.  @LOUDcarBOMB  not exactly. Bioshock as you yourself have noted uses revolver. Look at Hunt: Showdown or upgraded pistol from Dishonored. They both have the same concept of replacing the cylinder with chain/belt. HL:A uses a pistol though. It's much harder hence why no one had seen such a thing. Slide is in the way. Though pistols that have both removable magazine AND ability to accept clips to top off magazine exist and they, theoretically, have capacity for such a mechanism.

  869.  @dwarow2508   @Dwarow 2  1)I have a feeling that you have no semblance of idea what military industry even means if you mentioned USA in 1938. b)said "weak" industry "supplied"(ie anything not bolted down was stolen and brought to Germany, everything else worked locally) Third Reich with tooling and production lines that allowed to radically increase tank production above laughable levels, engine production, allowed new tanks like Tiger and Panther to be introduced into production DURING total war situation without stopping production lines for existing vehicles. By same logic you can claim that Russia nowadays doesn't have military industry at all then since their economy fails to financially support full scale production constantly. So, you know, time to stop viewing Russia as a threat and dissolve NATO, right?:D 2)literary mentioned in Churchill's memoires by virtue of being THE topic he struggles with to avoid. UK hoped that Germany would attack USSR even in 1938 when Czechs were sold off. Then in 1939 when Poland was left to die without any help if not for France upholding its promises to declare war on Germany if it would happen. Phoney War showed how much France was held back by its political and economical turmoil though.

  870. @aleksaradojicic8114  sorry, forgot to mention switching to twins. Wrote dual purpose and apparently thought that dual was meant for that. Woops. Yeah, basically it should be either 2x180 or 2x152 or 3x130. But I'd say that elevation is important so these turrets need to be replaced fully. I'm also 50/50 on 100mm secondaries. Ideally they should have been replaced with 2x45mm autocannons each, but 45mm autocannon project wasn't finished as lead designer died... surprisingly not due to politics, but due to tuberculosis.

  872. Which is ironic since M60 was a medium tank, just like T-62 and Centurion. It served ALONGSIDE M103, just like the latter two served alongside T-10M and Conqueror. Chieftain, T-64 and MBT-70 were first real MBTs by capabilities. Which coincided with also being doctrinal MBTs, there were no heavy or medium tanks designed to serve alongside them and previous existing heavies were de facto retired with their introduction. Problem is that MBT-70 was sabotaged and not accepted, so americans project its role to M60. M60 was no match to M103 neither in protection, nor in firepower, it's still a medium. Though you can modernize it to be MBT like Sabra or M60-2000 or other options that never happen.

Russian billionaires right now spend whole fortunes to try and get back to german, american and israeli hospitals incognito because none of them cared about russian healthcare. Likewise none of the foreign engineers I knew about in China planned to start a family there. Work for some time and earn money - yes, raise kids - hard nope. Every billionaire has property in Dubai, but none of them even stay there, not to mention live there. Let's just say that I have a bit of "Spidey sense" moment that whispers into my ear that they don't want to spend their lives there? They want to be rich in EU, US, Australia, Japan and so on. You can quote Caesar about rather being first guy in some barbaric village then number two in Rome, but here's the thing, they're painfully aware that each dictatorship is lined up to number 50 on inheritance line at least and money doesn't give you power among robber barons, a pistol to your skull does. US stands on a cliff, asking itself the same question - what if they'll leave if we raise taxes/cut subsidies/don't grant bailout? The answer already was seen during WWII taxation levels. They will start to run. Let them and burn the bridges behind them.

  893.  @RavingRazik  yeah, I agree, it's a tragedy that public ignored how ukranian towns and military positions were constantly shelled from occupied territory for 8 whole years and how russian mercs used civilians to hide behind while doing so. I still recall the interview of a local priest, who had seen how the so called separatist rolled up a heavy mortar into the backyard of his church to use it as de facto hostage to prevent counter battery fire. Each morning they rolled it in on already prepared position, started the shelling and then after some time they would pack up and roll it away because they were afraid to lose the mortar. Thankfully there is a lot of drone and thermal footage that helped to document said instances. Thanks for reminding people about that, good job you. But I actually was talking about the poor guy from occupied territory. I know the context in other language can be sometimes hard to understand, hope that helps. Have a nice day;)

I love how it's still called the low point of relationship between USSR and USA despite what is happening for last few weeks. Still think Khrushev was bad?:D 2)it wasn't just his fanboyism. USSR had no way to economically support all of those programs. They needed parity in strategic nuclear front to continue existing and thus Khrushev concentrated all available specialists and budget into nuclear and missile programs. He also used it as a way to create diplomatic capital for USSR as even nowadays when people speak of soviet or russian achievements it's talks of Khrushev's space programm. No other soviet leader before or after him invested as heavily into making good PR image for USSR. Everyone after him just insulted him and kept riding on his achievements in this field. Including current embarrassment.

  913. @Drew Peacock 1)strategic nuclear weapons are reserved for USA and (much less likely) UK. USSR didn't have enough ICBMs to counter both USA and other NATO members. So in case of attack, it was the job of conventional forces and tactical assets to hold off and go on the counter offensive. While ICBMs would be still pointed at USA in case if it'll decide to push its aggression further. As history had shown, usually US abandons "allies" in such situations; 2)this is a plan to counter NATO invasion. Counter offensive with overwhelming use of firepower to wipe out forces on European continent, prevent drawn out conflict and possibility of attacks from this front in the future; 3)this plan already happens after nukes are used either way. This is a plan for counter offensive of remaining conventional forces after nuclear attack on soviet heartland. Or do you believe that after situation escalates conventional forces shouldn't be used to press any available advantage? Btw this was soviet strategy since Stalin, who put T-54 into never seen before or after scale of tank mass production as a "soft counter" to nuclear threat USSR had no equal answer to. To plant the idea that even if nukes were used in Operation Unthinkable type of scenario that enough of soviet forces and equipment will prevail to defeat invading elements and push back.

Only those near him know the truth... or see brighter shades:D Because in the end this connection is the only thing that would allow Guts to win over Godhand. Remember Heart of Evil? Remember how it's fueled by human emotions, wishes and fears just like 40k Warp? Guts can't win. Griffith can't lose(in fact he might even "rebel" in the future and kill some of the other members of Godhand). But from the eyes of those very same common peasants, who fuel Heart of Darkness... they see Black Swordsman as Satan and Griffith as Jesus. The very masks they forged themselves and had worn. So what happens when Guts falls to Griffiths hand in the end before the eyes of hundreds of thousands and rumours go out of this to tens millions in mere days? They see saint slay devil. Guts's death rips out the very battery from Heart of Darkness. The belief. The fear. The very things that powered it end for that one moment. Griffith, Godhand, all demons just lose their only source of magic power. And they turn back into ordinary humans. Era of magic ends, fantasy dies, masquerade falls.

People still argue if KV-1S deserves to be called heavy tank or if it was de facto heavily armored medium like Jumbo, considering it brought KV series even closer to T-34 in terms of armor and mobility. This is where KV-13 project started. Ironically enough, just like Tiger is basically a german KV-220 being a year late to its grave designed without knowing about one another, both Tiger and Panther copy timeline of problems encountered by KV and T-34 themselves. The more you read on them, the more of a deja vu you have about different people running into same trouble caused by same sources.

Idea of holorifle is basically that: you empty an energy of whole MFC into a single shot of this photon weapon. So it's something "not quite laser, not quite plasma" just as Star Wars "laser" weapons.

  935. Проблема с мальчиком была в том, что на фоне мифа "чистого Вермахта", который процветает до сих пор, комбинация получалась не лучшей. Ему бы произнести речь вместе с делегациями Израиля и Польши, чтобы вермахтодрочеры с одной стороны и поцреоты с другой не пытались выкручивать слова. Есть ещё вопрос в том, сколько этих невинных погнанных на войну погибло вместо откровенных уродов, которые таки вернулись, а потом бахвалились этим. До 90-х отлавливали и то, в основном делали это сами бывшие узники на "энтузиазме и костях" без поддержки государств, которые просто предали память всех погибших уже через пару лет. Победа во второй мировой обладает не меньшей долей отвратный черной иронии, чем трагедия в Версаля. Что же до российской власти... вы сами понимаете КТО там сидит если сверху идёт заказ славить монархию, нацизм и фашизм и любыми средствами обгаживать демократию, социализм, коммунизм и любые другие формы "холопского" социального устройства.

Remember all the jokes russians made about ukranian air defenses... that use primarily S-300? Well, not extrapolate same jokes on Russia itself. They use mostly the same equipment, but Russia keeps saying that ukranian one is trash. Which is true. Because russian is equally outdated trash which was fine in 1980's, but hasn't been neither updated, nor even maintained since then. So yeah, all Russia says about Ukraine is true... if you take it as testimony about Russia itself:D

  949. ​ @dgmt1  1)fair assessment if T-34, but... 2)T-44 WAS put into production. And I don't mean small series of 100-400 tanks that were made, but never used. No, I mean T-34-85 turrets here. All that was good in T-34-85 was coming from its turret, which was just T-44 turret. I'll just copy the conclusion russian speaking community has outside people with severe propaganda brain rot. Ideal soviet tank for 1941-1945 would have been simplified T-34M hull(ie same torsion bar suspension, but flat sides) with KV-1S turret(and since KV-1S isn't around for a few years yet, KV-1 turret). The production cost would have been the same, maintenance would be much simpler, not to mention possible(the fact that no russian source mentions how much of a b//tch Christie suspension is to maintain when it's inside hull side is already a statement that T-34 in general wasn't surviving long enough to face even first round of general maintenance), it would have 3 men turret without gas build up problem and with proper optics arrangement for all crew members. Moreover, 85mm gun could be installed into this same turret as proven by KV-1G. Given availability of F-30 gun back in 1940, such version can be introduced fairly early on as soviet mirror image of Firefly and later on generally replace main version. If you look closely, this approach would have been basically soviet Sherman.

  950. That also raises a question of why it isn't silenced? And wouldn't an army scout in the way you described benefit more from something like VSS, which was made specifically for army specifications for that role? And it's a completly different beast with it's lower range, semiauto action, removable magazine, subsonic ammo and integrated supressor. So, when both are available, who is in which niche? So I'd say that his scout rifle concept has very questionable connection to military tasks required of said role.

  971.  @depthcharge126  RPK uses intermediate ammo. Same as RPD. If you want to compare BAR designed in 1917 with it's rifle ammo, be my guest. Here, Fedorov Avtomat, 1913. A point made moot by good old Madsen from 19th century. Oh wait, you probably don't even recall which ammo all of those use;) And which BAR do you mean? Good original one from WWI? Or the crappy M1918A2? Which had taken feed back from troops and instead of making two guns as was obviously required, they made one shitty? Troops wanted either a lighter gun with lower RPM and pistol grip for more control OR same RPM, but with heavier barrel, bipod and and bigger magazine. In other words automatic rifle OR LMG depending on how they've used their BARs. Result? Single gun with lower RPM, bigger weight, bipod, same small magazine and no change to stock. Make two separate guns, rechamber them for Swift cartridge and I might even agree with you. Until then, have a nice day.

Jason "died", Dick had gone to TT for time then went solo. The only one that stayed for long it seems is Tim). Barbara is portrayed as being trained alongside either Tim or Dick, Cassandra was mentored by Catherine and Shiva, Carrie and Terry are decades into the future(Carrie joins Bruce around his 65 age, Terry meets 80 year old one. There's even a comic where instead of Bruce, it is Damien, who saves and trains Terry. Damien is Batman by that point and is hitting his own 40's).

Slow, flimsy, lacks proper bombload and precision capability, no armor or defensive armaments, no way to support it by fighter escorts. You got what I'm saying, eh? It's a first strike weapon against civilian population that would be sent on one way trip BEFORE declaration of war. Ie 1930's WMD designed to kill millions of "enemy" civilians without any declaration of war. Back before radar interception was a thing. Now tell me, is it a war crime? It's not retaliatory weapon, it's not mutually assured destruction and it sure as heck isn't a combat worthy one. Come on, give me a justification why it won't be an act of planned ideologically and nationality driven genocide? I want to hear it.

  980. I guess people see an unholy mix of AKM and SA-80 in EM-2 and think that it would have 1)allowed to get proper intermediate round for NATO out sooner despite american interference; 2)would allow to work out all the quirks of SA-80 or in this case EM-2M(?) decades earlier; 3)potentially allow the rework of .280 British into more familiar .223 round just like soviets switched intermediate round generations between 7.62x39 and 5.45x39 by having the same case, but new bullet and explosive filler used. Once again, decades earlier. BUT Did the british ever feel like you were left out or underpowered in terms of infantry firepower in those decades? I mean, even if finalized and modernized EM-2(EM-2M, EM-3, whatever) would be available, americans(who would actually benefit from adopting it) wouldn't notice it and would still run around with M14.

And vice versa japanese had also found a lot of ways to cut corners where possible. For example they were one of the best when it came to casting radial engine blocks for cheap.

That would require both strong army and firm adequate leadership ie reforms already happened. This means that there are no orbital height levels of corruption that allowed bureacrats to take loans in european banks to commission european weaponry for war that they'll later accept despite abyssmaly low quality thanks to bribes. That's number 2, no tsardom debts, no russian gold in british and french banks. So probably Britain is going through continuation of it's economical degradation. And neither Germany, nor AH would risk bringing Russia in at this moment so they'll probably start with british colonies. In other words, you're fucked, no us:P

  1008.  @jenkinsonian  even at the end of its lifetime, Pz.IV didn't fully breach the 50mm limit. It still had vulnerable turret, rear and sides. Heck, even Panther had 50mm in its side hence side skirts and shortlived Panther 2 developement project that was cancelled after side skirts were introduced and proved to be effective enough. Pz.III suffered the same fate. The problem however is that level of armor doesn't require an AT gun, even if a light one. French had great 47mm APX gun and didn't have an AT rifle to go with it. This 25mm AT gun fills a very specific niche. And I'm sadly inclined to say an artificial one, made specifically for it. It was a good gun from engineering PoV, but having a good AT rifle instead of Boys would have been better.

  1022. Is there any info on amount of propellant charges used, velocity, armor penetration and effectiveness of AP round of 25 pounder? That thing was used as AT gun in North Africa on few occasions so here's historical interest. It's also the earliest modern gun above the punching weight of 2 pounder that is available to british before 6 pounder and especially 17 pounder are ready. So here's althistory interest, Churchill armed with 25 pounder(no, turret ring fits, proven by aussies).

  1023. ​ @brendonbewersdorf986  wanna hear a joke? IJA captured many examples of european autocannons in use by chinese army in 1938. IJA had many examples of 3,7cm Flak 18/36 in their inventory and told IJN nothing about it. Not to mention swiss 20mm autocannons.

  1029.  @johnwilliams9179  I'm pretty sure both sides would be using those if found. They might not be the most accurate, but both can easily duck up a truck, radar installation or fuel tank from 100-200 meters. They can also easily pen Tiger and BRDM armored cars and MTLB. Idk about BMP and BTR(there are several improved versions that have added armor). P.S.: btw, it's weird that I don't see BTRs on photos and reports. Only IFVs and trucks. It's as if MTLB is the only APC in the invasion.

  1030.  @darthkarl99  there are two versions you can hear in Russia itself: 1)he keeps those troops back at home as he's more afraid of protesters then ukranian military.

Losing T-90M would mean having less of them in a column. You can't parade old T-72's without making people ask questions, you know?;)

If he'd ever try to grab the button his own subordinates would gut him. It doesn't matter who has most nukes as the first one to launch would receive the rest on return and nobody would survive. The only thing he achieved by mentioning nukes is Beijing reminding him that they're economical partners, not military allies and lowering Russia's credit score on chinese market, lol.

  1034.  @woltews  it wasn't, but the team composition set for it IS. BAR isn't LMG, it's automatic rifle. Lewis was LMG, BAR isn't. And WWII version is even worse in LMG role. So instead you're looking for a team composition that can cover the lack of proper GPMG since Stinger won't be adopted and M1919A6 and Johnson are still years away. And 3 men BAR team is what can cover that. When firing together they have superior RoF to MG42 weapons team, they can follow separate targets, they have better accuracy, only one of them is reloading at any one moment and when they maneuver with short runs, 1-2 guys can still fire. Basically this way you're facing the truth that BAR isn't LMG and that it should be used differently.

Mind you, this is also before radar early warning and interception was a thing, not to mention widespread. So the goal was to use said ANT-36 as first strike WMDs, sending a dozen if not more planes per city without declaration of war to kill millions of unprepared civilians. Gives me some All Nightmare Long by Metallica vibes.

  1050. So, their mistakes both in 1950-70's and in 1980-90's programs was lack of modularity? Not replace 3 guns, but create a system that allow to make those 3 guns as well as give some extra options. Plus lack of understanding of how ammo will influence the developement - why combine grenade launcher with assault rifle if you should combine it with shotgun(give GL canister shots or give shotgun HE rounds... like we're doing right now)? And shotguns are far more versatile in launching overcaliber munitions of various types from gas canisters to rope. Other combinations include: Pistol/SMG/Carbine. Revolver/PDW/Assault Rifle/LMG. Survival Gun/Battle Rifle/Marksman Rifle/Sniper Rifle/GPMG. And so on. Choose the purpose, choose your ammo, choose the parts you like - get a gun you need. Goes against usual military "standartisation" chaos where nothing is in a f//cking place it's supposed to be though.

In other words, the preferred situation is to have it as a closed away cycle. Which means that it remains a tool of speculation instead of being a tool of market self balancing:( Sadly same goes to politics("good people don't do politics" myth alone) and jurisprudence(you're one of the exceptions trying to popularize and open it) which won't be touched properly even on surface level by public education.

Want promotion? Be ready to search for said position in competing companies. Don't bother working for promotion, work for resume. Our parents lived in conditions that benefitted those, who worked 15 years or longer in the same place. Nowadays? If you don't change the job every 2 years until you're satisfied with the position, benefits and pay, you're a loser. And even then you need to always be ready to ditch your boss for competition on short notice. Don't be "loyal" to those, who don't get the meaning of the word;)

  1085.  @nerdyspinosaurid  right now it's mall in a ballpark of low powered(I mention it because there are examples of pneumatic guns that can crack concrete block) "hunting" pneumatic rifles and crossbows. In 10-15 years it would be comparable to their upper limits and much more sleek then it is now. By then plastic cases on firearms would be a norm so pushing against firearms would be even harder. But that's basically a novelty hobby gun. Which technically isn't a firearm. Plus(when this thing will finally be firing flechettes/dart) nothing stops you from adding copper wire to the end of a projectile and dumping the remains of the charge from capacitors into the target if the circuit gets closed. You can't get it back into the battery either way...

  1087. I guess nowadays all these weird guns(briefcase guns, shoot behind the corner guns, guns that collapse into a container, guns that can be concealed in a sleeve, etc.) would still find usage, but they would require updating to either similar PDW rounds to MP7 uses OR to heavy subsonic ammo like VAL or Whisper, depending on if the gun has space for silencer. Besides nowadays for most of them you can get far better sighting equipment that would allow to use them "off hand" or in weird positions like lasers(existed, but were weak, fragile, bulky and too expensive), red dots(existed, but had same trouble) and even direct feed(technically exists nowadays, but we're not on smartgun level yet. But someone like secret service can probably afford and maintain it).

  1089. Always wondered what would happen if you tried to use rifle grenades with this one. Context: while it might have proven effective against T-26 and BT-5, it would have quickly grown obsolete in primary role. It would still be useful against optics and tracks, plus it's better then heavier AT rifle in antimateriel role due to smaller weight, but there would still be a need to get a new portable AT weapon out. In hypothetical scenario quickest solution is to copy german idea and make rifle grenade for this rifle. I'm just wondering if increased over an order of magnitude mass of projectile would make recoil unbearable.

  1090. The title already left me puzzled so the video will probably blow my mind😅 Context: construction sector is a MASSIVE part of many economies. Switching from 1-2 floor suburbia to 3-5 floor one would only increase the amount of labour and materials involved in the sector, not decrease it. More jobs in construction, mining and heavy industry, more property to purchase. Idk how fixing housing for americans can do anything but grow the economy. This IS the economy. Economy at its basic is combination of what humans can do and what they want in return. The more people are involved, the higher their productivity, the bigger the economy. So yeah, I'm puzzled and hopefully the video clear that one out😅

  1091.  @Qbgarden  that depends on how you view SAMs. For some reason rocket artillery including MLRSs and tactical ballistic missiles are artillery, but everyone pretends that ATGMs and SAMs aren't ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ Anyway there are even fewer AAA designed post-WWII. The only "notables" I can recall is soviet 57mm S-60 autocannon, Bofors 57mm from which soviets copied it and 75mm M51 Skysweeper. AAA needs full freedom of traverse both horizontal and vertical, very fast traverse, doesn't care much about dimensions and visibility(aka the only branch where use of muzzle brake isn't frowned upon). While it CAN benefit from both increased velocity like AT and increased caliber like normal artillery, rate of fire was the characteristic that won out in the end(if you count only AAA without counting SAMs).

  1098. For me the main problem is the "Pz.IV(F2 onwards), T-34 and M4 are all equal" myth that results in people downplaying M4, while praising the former two to self justify that loop. Despite all these being produced at different time periods, mass, resource and workforce budget for different reasons and in many modifications. It's hard for people to realize that Pz.IV is an equivalent of T-28 with extra turrets removed(after all, both of them are grandkids of Independent through stolen blueprints and Grosstractor tested in USSR), that T-34 was a glorified BT(BT-20 to be exact) and sucked being inside of, that T-34-85(which sucked far far less, but all its advantages were in the new turret) was closer to M10 then to M4 or Panther and that M4 appeared only in 1943.

So now we need new prototype and we will split contract among you according to feature participation" since we're talking about full rearmament of infantry elements of army and marines in upcoming two decades if it goes through. So it's better if ALL of them get involved no matter who wins. And that's forgetting NATO and civilian market.

  1101. BAR was originally classified as "assault phase rifle" and intended for "walking fire" like Chauchat. Fedorov also had some similar ideas. Obviously it didn't work out, so it took 20 more years(since things like Burton, Ribeyrolles and italian clone of the latter were scrapped) to get to modern assault rifles and wehraboo claim to fame. So logically that would be BAR. Or HCAR if you want modern iteration.

It's as if they were desperate and wanted to bring back the only character people cared about. Imagine if Marvel decided to get RDJ back? Yeah, that would be the same level of desperation.

  1115. no, it wasn't designed by imprisoned designers. So not very soviet at all:)) The legend has it that it was designed the same way as MG42 - by an outsider to firearm industry, who was VERY proficient in metalworking processes due to their work. IE people who DIDN'T know how to make "proper" guns. MG42 was designed by small can manufacturer, who was proficient with metal stamping. Goryunov was designed by several metal mill workers at train repair workshop. Both weren't aware of current(for their time) firearm traditions, fashion and dogmas.

  1116.  @casteddu6740  no, it didn't. But suggesting invading USSR together with Germany and letting USSR hear it wasn't the brightest of ideas, don't you agree? In fact if Poland wasn't so insistent on talking about alliance with Germany, soviets wouldn't heard of it and Germany wouldn't have been provoked to move away from that idea to remain neutral to soviets.

  1117. If I recall right, cartridge of Ribeyrolles was based on .351 Self Loading used in this rifle. Why haven't there been any other attempts to make an automatic rifle with it? Main "brick wall" many designers, who've dreamed of intermediate rifles, faced was lack of cartridge, but in this case it was a ready commercial cartridge existing for decades. Why wasn't there a ".351 M1 Carbine Model 1924" or something like that?

  1119. Question with a long context explanation: a decade or so ago Ukraine was developing an elongated T-72 and T-80 with a pseudo troop compartment in the back, behind turret, but in front of the engine with space for 3 people. It got an extra set of roadwheels so it was able to handle more mass and obviously was itself heavier then normal T-72 and T-80. Project was sort of cancelled since it was leading nowhere, but prototype remained. Then there was a project to install a "NATO compliant" 120mm gun into T-80 and put the autoloader into the turret bustle and equip it with blow out panels. It existed, it worked, but budget wasn't there so it was cancelled too. Seemingly unconnected stories. Until around 2017-2019 Ukraine showcased new recovery vehicle based on T-72 which for presentation was dragging around... elongated T-80 with said turret with bustle autoloader. Comments are closed under the original video, no info was given about that monstrosity outside of possible weight of 55 tons. Since bustle is above the former "dismount" hatches, those were obviously unusable and welded shut. So, what was that? Just a way to preserve two separate prototypes? Or was it a new tank development in itself? It has massive amount of unused space in the hull thanks to former crew compartment and removal of hull autoloader. And quite a hefty weight reserve if 55ton figure is true. So what was there? Attempt to install thicker frontal armor without overloading frontal roadwheels? Crew capsule experiment? Extra fuel tanks or ammo storages to avoid using external ones that everyone's trying to mount on T-80? What was that tank?

  1120. ​ @kube410  coal power and complete denial of all ecological regulations isn't what worries me about China in ecological sense. What worries me is their industrial philosophy. They massively overproduce any good you might order from them to get economy of scale benefit for price, expecting to either see your next order OR sell it under their own brand as your competitors. But I HIGHLY doubt that they sell all they do produce. Which leads to a massive question - what is China doing with its physical waste?

P.S.: Probably Eradicator served as basis for Superbots made by Kal years later.

  1127. Anything was used more then AK-47 because 1)AK is a rather small series compared to AKM and AK-74. In fact most people never have seen original production AK, not to mention hold and use it. AKM, chinese and romanian copies and other ARs make up those tens of millions of "AK-47" that people think about, not a few hundred thousand AK; 2)AK-47 is a f//cking media name that has no basis in reality and closest thing to it was AK mod.47 aka name of prototype.

  1128. In such cases I usually ask - had anybody used it too or copied it? And indeed, germans used captured ones and had produced copies. So I guess when an opponent SHOOTING at them still believes it's an idea worth a merit, it says a lot.

  1134.  @thomasellysonting3554  yes on most of it except on comparison to heavy tank. It's a medium infantry tank. It doesn't need high speed to begin with, it doesn't need huge operational ranges because it's not operating independently and it doesn't need high penetration gun. But most importantly, it is cheap and easy to mass produce... relatively. You can try to argue that it was neither cheap, not produced in enough numbers by the british, BUT any actual modern heavy tank was just going to end up even more expensive to produce and would face even smaller production numbers. It was a bottleneck resulting in deficiencies of british tank industry, that was getting a fifth flute to all other services and for a good reason(at least they thought so). Infantry tanks aren't marvels of bleeding edge technology by design. The only downsides were 1)retention of small turret ring from Matilda which was useless since Matilda has no backwards compatibility with Churchill I turret due to suspension and transmission inability to survive added weight and lack of any modification reserve; 2)initial lack of reliability typical for new vehicles. Design reached Vauxhall too late and even then they've improved it considerably before production; 3)question of armament. I can see the point in calling NA75 as probably the best armed one even above 17 pounder of Black Prince prototype due to different priority(once again, for infantry tank penetration isn't that important), however I can also see why 2 pounder might have also had a point with its high RoF. But all of Churchill's armament lacked an ability to fire at upper levels of tall buildings, something that would highly benefit infantry tank.

  1139. Whole Gamestop situation is a good example of three things though: 1)despite all the claims from stock market "residents", ordinary people AREN'T welcomed on stock market; 2)despite all the claims from stock market "residents", 99% of americans aren't involved with stock market as players, only as pawns; 3)despite all the claims from stock market "residents", nobody is interested in teaching ordinary people proper handling of their portfolio and workings of stock market. In other words, the preferred situation is to have it as a closed away cycle. Which means that it remains a tool of speculation instead of being a tool of market self balancing:( Sadly same goes to politics("good people don't do politics" myth alone) and jurisprudence(you're one of the exceptions trying to popularize and open it) which won't be touched properly even on surface level by public education. Because the point is to make workers, not citizens.

However apparently someone believes that mounting scope onto M14 made it a DMR when M21 was half assed into existence:D P.S.: and that is primarily because US didn't realize that snipers are "kind of needed" even in modern war until the late half of Vietnam War. Meanwhile soviets had thousands of renowned snipers during WWII and just decided that continuing to use what worked was a good idea. Surprising, right?!

Plus there aren't US corporations calling shots in Iran like in CCP and Iran influencing US media in return like China does. So quite a different situation even if you put natural resources, geography and population aside. P.S.: Pakistan is a chinese sponsored state so Iran is also potential ally of India against China and its puppets.

Bovington is very active, it is making videos, it is restoring tanks, it tries to cycle it's collection constantly with other museums, it has events aimed for whatever audience they have. So while they try to go for said entertainment angle, they don't become shallow for it. Kubinka is another case entirely, it's more of a parking lot for biggest tank collection in the world. Sadly its collection is currently being robbed in favor of said entertainment variety "Patriot Park". Archives are also available if you can organise a visit beforehand.

That's ironic part about all "last ditch" weapons is that they could have changed the situation if they were produced BEFORE situation became last ditch:D STEN and PTRD(not actually last ďitch, but it was much simpler then PTRS so it allowed to saturate infantry with AT rifles and then slowly switch them with PTRS) are only two examples when it worked out.

  1165.  @TrangleC  1)ALL tanks are offensive weapons. The ONLY "defensive" tank ever designed was Strv103. Can you guess why it's not an offensive weapon when looking at it? 2)USSR had never hidden intentions to attack other european states first to "reclaim god given historical lands" and then to "spread revolution". Hitler likewise had never hidden intentions to attack USSR, that was his main political platform since 1934 and a part of his speeches even before that. Moreover USSR was actually in the process of negotiating joining the war on Allied side before France fell as it was obvious that war with Germany would be inevitable with such rhetoric plus it allowed them to achieved their first phase of Stalin's own ambitions. However as France fell, the negotiations fell through and USSR was left hanging not knowing what to do and not wanting to bet on UK during the peak of Battle of Britain. There's also a second problem, USSR rearmament program was planned to finish only in 1943. So while there's a degree of truth that USSR planned to attack first(hence fuel and ammo reserves moved to the border and the fact that majority of newest tanks aka T-34 and KV-1 were moved to Byalastok to serve in armored fist), the overall situation was closer to "wtf are we doing exactly again?". Soviet military was caught with their pants down for a reason, because they were trying to put two different pants on at the same time.

It was also basis for several dozens of other vehicles. Including Jagdpanzer IV which would have still been a bane of allied tankers even in 1945 if there were enough of them. Panther had good simplified production and economy of scale on its side, but it was too little, too late. On soviet side, by same rules I'm complied to mention T-(60/)70 as best soviet tank. It served its role well and was basis for supreme(but largely misused by soviets) SU-76. And Stuart is probably the best american one by same criteria? Sherman was awesome, but it only saw half the war. Brits? Idk, maybe Valentine?

  1174.  @smokedbeefandcheese4144  that worked both ways. In 1941-1942 it was more about germans studying captured soviet equipment - several mortars were copied, gas system of AVT-40 was copied, many F-22 guns were trophies and documentation and tooling for that gun was also captured so it was turned into stop gap 3inch AT gun germans used in Africa against british before Pak40 was finished, they looked at T-34 and initiated VK.30 program, dropping all VK.20 projects, KV-1 influenced which Tiger was chosen over the other and so on.

And as norwegians, you would know more about quirks of fighting in your country due to features of landscape, climate and urban spread, things that I as an outsider can't really take into account. But I suspect that someone was expecting firefights at slightly longer ranges then what was considered a norm in Germany, USA or USSR.

F-22 was a PR toy, there is no much loss there.

Thus instead of facing the bear with it's pants down, you're facing exactly the one you should have in 1944-45... but three years too early. 2)by not striking down on any of the soviet resource base on the ground as soviets outnumber your airforce even on the best days and now you've once again allowed them to use those reserves of trained pilots by taking your time. 3)Italy is dead btw, you allowed Allies to take it out too early and are now facing Western Front in 1942. Not to mention Allied navies are having a grand time at your expanse all over the place 4)you've lost popular support, there are mutinies in the army, assasination plots are much more likely to succeed now that there are more higher ups involved. Irl germany was facing the famine long before the "final soultion" and this shortage of food is one of the reasons why it was taken when proper preparations for invasion into USSR began. But here... here you've enforced famine on the germans themselves. In 1941. GG WP, Stalin approves. 5)not only have you failed to overtake Vichi France and take out it's fleet, but thanks to point #3 you're facing a serious probability of it defecting you.

And they weren't underselling the guns under the production price like something like Automag. They profited, it sold so why bother that it was a small production?:D

  1204. I'm from Belarus, country that suffered one of the most from Chernobyl disaster. I'm a fan of nuclear power. How I became a fan of nuclear power? Through being interested in Shinkansen and TGV high speed rail rise. I have no idea what kind of logic chain my brain had formed in my subconsciousness to lock it up that way, but here we are. I assume it's connection between stable power production of nuclear power plants and stable power consumption of efficient rail network that make both possible and profitable for the state as a complex issue. Which always led me to wondering why US has neither and if the car lobby was the unintended enemy number one of nuclear power production.

It is there to enhance other IFVs with different armament packages(like 100+30), not to cover a niche already taken.

Why haven't F.Á.G. tried to consolidate with czech, polish and romanian gun manufacturers as means of preserving domestic production capacity? I have that same question basically for every eastern european arms and vehicles manufacturer. For example Romania and Poland BOTH had separate programs to modernize T-72 and BMP-1. Both were suffering from lack of funding and both tried to compete with Russia on international market with very limited success. Romanians and poles love their modified AKs, why not join them in developing a new pattern? Were the post Warsaw Pact collapse relations so bad?

Better Panther is just Panther G. It would have never gotten time to iron out its flaws before production and would have never fixed its core flaws just like T-34 and M4.

  1242. I guess most sorrow about .280 being denied is coming from it's comparison to 7.62x39mm and the fact that we all know that AKM can be fired in full auto by normal human being, while 7.62x51mm just flips you a bird and goes all over the place because you're more concerned about holding the rifle then aiming. It's just 20% more powerfull then 7.62x39mm compared to 60% more powerfull 7.62x51mm. So we all assume that it'll chnage the course of Vietnam or something. Alone. By being NATO's straight up answer to AKM. Not to mention fantasies about AR-10 coming into service in this caliber and having a decade in advance to figure out all the quirks of it before it'll hit the jungle. Would it work? Maybe. But was M14 THAT bad? It ended up being great DMR. Instead AR-10 in .280 brings up a possibility of having RPK style LMG that is created nowadays with 5.56 anyway as part of M27 IAR family. Would it stop 5.56x45 from existing? Probably not as we see 5.45x39mm existing. Would probably take a decade or two later on to appear as did 5.45x39mm. Or we might end up with 5.56x43 ie case of .280 necked down for 5.56 just as soviets did for 5.45. Would it stop 7.62x51mm existing though? MAYBE! Because then it'll have less priority and NATO might end up using french rifle rounds 7.5x54mm the same way soviets continued using 7.62x54R.

Madsen also was quite good. BAR weight a little over 7kg, just like empty M249. Cold Monitor weighted only 6kg so the reserve for weight loss was there. And if you take a look at combat rifles like M14 or FN FAL, you'll see that they have lower barrel length and when equiped with heavier and longer versions of their barrels, have comparable weight. ANd how is that a problem with MP18, excuse me? On the contrary how many times and in how many countries was it simply copied? What's left? Semi-auto rifles? I mention Winchester and Remington ones because I can't recall them being called unreliable.They were fine for hunters and fine for law enforcement as well. Something-Hill rifle is an abomination, Frankenstein's monster and I haven't mentioned it, you did. RSC was sadly unreliable due to it's action being easily mudded if I recall right. And then I look at "Plan 1919" and have a strange sense of deja vu...

Is there an integrally suppressed G3/FAl with such ammo?

  1287. Does Germany need to though? UK, France and Sweden have massive military industries. I feel like Germany has the most impact as research partner and can "outsource" actual production. Though it's important for all NATO members to have at least some degree of autonomy in their equipment production, even if they use licensed designs. For examples every member state should strive to achieve full self reliance in ammunition production, this way the forces of the Alliance wouldn't get cut off from supply. The spare parts question is second on priority list, but it's harder to achieve. So I'd say that it goes like 1)ammunition and other "consumables"; 2)small arms and infantry kit; 3)spare parts; 4+)whatever else you can do according to your defense priorities.

  1293. Their design philosophy is outdated in the world where thermals, drones and modern fire control exists. Completely outdated. Even China realized that that can't be allowed to continue like that and fixed many issues in their ZTZ99A(aka another pretender for the name of last descendant of soviet tank design school) like transmission having no real rear gears. And with T-14 Russia tried to jump over the wall of the maze and once again fell down. They can't design a working engine-transmission group, they can't get a reliable camera view and worst of all, their unmanned turret and crew capsule are completely pointless since they still use old autoloader and NO blow out panels ie they made a giant pressure cooker. Capsule can't protect the crew if pressure has no easier way to escape. That's basics! You can't have blow out panels on the bottom as it'll make the tank very weak to mines, can't do them in the sides as it'll make sides weaker, capsule is up front, engine in the back and on top of that giant bomb called ammo is an unmanned turret without panels either. They took budget and time and made situation worse! Tbh T-14 was an improvement in one direction - it no longer tries to pointlessly minimize target profile at expense of crew comfort and overall design as if it's still 50's. It isn't, your tank would be seen and it can be hit. I'd say take T-14's hull, suspension(surprisingly no trouble there so at least something works as intended), beg chinese for help with getting a working engine/transmission unit and then go back to designing conventional turret with blow out panels for ammo and some breathing room for crew. Oh, wait, we've just reinvented Leopard II...

  1296. We have seen what happens when paratroopers(and subsequently air force) aren't independent and answer to either the navy(Rikusentai) or the army(Teishin Shudan). More specific to IJN or IJA. To put it simply, they DIDN'T fare better. As person above me already noted, air force just employed transferred army officers or those, who had finished army officer school and had combat experience of leading troops. Wtf were you thinking, that they're lead by pilots?:D There's pros and cons to having all of those, be their independent, subdivision or integrated. P.S.: and independent paratrooper corps also aren't a panacea. Consult russian VDVs that drowned near Odessa.

Using shotguns vs FPVs is just as "practical" as using shotguns to shoot out grenades from mid air in WWI ie great news story to make more boys join, but having ZERO connection to reality. The real future of shotguns is connected to them having high caliber, low velocity, low shock on projectile contents and being smoothbores. That always made them ideal for specialist munitions, similar to grenade launchers, mortars and howitzers in their respective weight classes. And what all those have? That's right, airburst, guided and rocket assisted two stage projectiles. Sometimes all at the same time. The future of shotgun is to adopt those techs and become bolter ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

  1303.  @olivialambert4124  "Why would anyone drop a tank from orbit? That is the most absurd statement I've ever heard." Because you chose to spin it that way. I was merely pointing out capabilities of modern technology. It all started with the fact that you've mistaken the use of transport skids with paradropping. The point of such platforms is to limit the time the plane is present in dangerous zone as well as being able to use airstrips and landing zones not fit for bigger transport aircraft either to their low quality or due to being simply too short. But it is not paradropping. The actual vehicle paradrop methods are very well practiced with BMD series of vehicles. It requires a whole system of solutions like drogue chutes, normal chutes, braking rockets, specially designed for the task suspension and landing platform to implement, but it's a working system. Nowadays it's limited to roughly 20 tons. Is there a technical limitation that stops us from landing heavier weights like 40 or even 60 tons tanks? Nope. Just budget and developement time. I've mentioned why. I've also mentioned Mi-12 and T-64 combo in case tank might require an airlift. Different problem, but still possible to do. Instead you decided to spin the context of my comment to ridicule and insult me. What should I say to that? I'd prefer to say goodb... just bye.

Chechen troops actually have them plus there was production for civilian market. If you issue AK-12 to someone, then it's not random. But at the same time you value them less then optics you give away to chechen troops? What? Just what? That's straight up "lend lease leather jacket" kind of attitude.

Want promotion? Be ready to search for said position in competing companies. Don't bother working for promotion, work for resume. Our parents lived in conditions that benefitted those, who worked 15 years or longer in the same place. Nowadays? If you don't change the job every 2 years until you're satisfied with the position, benefits and pay, you're a loser. And even then you need to always be ready to ditch your boss for competition on short notice. Don't be "loyal" to those, who don't get the meaning of the word;)

Even though repairs were supposedly going on for months and usage of both bridges was limited. Meaning that likely once again, the goal is to prevent civilians from filming it and bridge likely was brought into "sufficient enough" condition to be used with caution.

  1364.  @Luftwaffe1O1  the thing is that western forces wouldn't have moved in so closely without full air dominance and proper logistic train. So no matter what tanks they would be using, they'd face far less ATGMs head on. Mostly due to better support and focus on keeping it alive. T-90M units so far haven't been seen without IFV support, drone cover and they are used by better crews. Something T-72B3 didn't get. So the question of how much difference remains between T-72B3 and T-90M outside of imported sight still stands. As far as I can see, 1)Russia bet on the wrong horse(T-72BU instead of T-80U) when choosing the tank that'll become the basis of their tank force in the future, but trying to cheap out decades ago; 2)tried to jump too high with T-14 and ruined the design. Yes, those answers ignore the fact that significant part of T-80U production remained in Ukraine after soviet split and russians getting themselves sanctioned many times over their wars. It's their political decisions that hardly matter in discussing design, nobody stopped them from choosing differently or thinking about consequences.

  1377.  @KenjaTimu  well, thanks for editing the comment before people could respond. No, Germany HAD vehicles. A lot more of them that it could run. Especially in case of civilian vehicles where even gas generators weren't helping. As a result vehicles were used only when the need was critical and a direct order from above allowed it. Yes, and one of the reasons it couldn't produce more was lack of energy due to lack of fuel, bomb raids on factories because Luftwaffe lacked fuel, lack of Kriegsmarine success in intercepting UK and USSR supply due to lack of fuel. There is always a cause and effect connections, watch the video first, please.

  1378. #AskIan Ian, what's your opinion on soviet/russian 6x49 rounds that were supposed to replace both century old rimmed full rifle 7.62x54R and first generation "big" intermediate 7.62x39mm that was already partially phased out in favour of second gen lighter intermediate 5.45x39mm of same case? Was it a good idea from technological and military PoV that was put into early grave only due to political, economical and logistical reasons? Or was it a wrong direction, considering with what we see developed nowadays in USA where people seek to replace .308 with more powerful rifle round for sharpshooter rifles, battle rifles and medium machine guns?

  1379. MiG-27>this expendable coffin. USSR already produced best ground pounder soviet army needed. The fact that Russia continues to produce cheap expendable strike aircraft like Su-25 instead of high performance one like MiG-27 tells too much about both situation in the military and priorities of the government. Like as if US decided not to abandon A-10 and Harrier II in favor of F-35 or if China decided to bring A-5 into service. Which neither of them did because they have functional economies and military. So yeah, continue praising flying coffin. And learn at least about a few other famous soviet aircraft!

  1384. B-52 is let down by lack of variants on its base. Instead tankers, transports, AWACS and many other roles were filled by either older planes(B-50's and even B-29 conversions) or planes build upon base of civilian models. Meaning that there was a gap for several years when bomber fleet switched to B-52, but the utility fleet was still prop planes. And mind you, utility aircraft have much longer effective lifespan. Tanker upon B-29 base would be useful even nowadays.

  1389. ZraloqCZ just saying that you have no idea what you're talking about? Nice of you:D It had armament(76mm cannon with long barrel and high velocity by the standart of that time in a 2 man turret of full rotation) and armor(relative armor was 60+mm head on all around and 90 if it was angled) of heavy tank combined with mobility(not just speed, but ground clearance, soil pressure, low enough mass to use small and improvised bridges) of a light tank of BT family from which it comes. In 1939! Meanwhile it's closest competitor ie M4(who came through too similar fate and modification history) appeared only in 1942. Pz.IV remained an outdated design of 1930's and Panther(which had finally taken in the lessons from late 1930's aka from a certain already mentioned tank designed in 1937 and put in production in 1939;)) was so great of a medium tank that it was heavier then IS-2 so stop trying to hide behind the faults of german classification. German tank industry was as backward and reactionary as one can get. Increasing mass can get you only so much ahead before it catches up to you.

  1407. Was mention of angling absent in US manuals because just like Panther M4 had quite vulnerable sides and had to rely on already angled front plate? Compared to earlier generation "boxy" tanks like PzKw.III, IV, KV-1 and Tiger. Even T-34 had extremely angled side armor that was eating away at its potential internal space and which didn't reappear on newer soviet medium tanks. So de facto US simply had no vehicle in service that would benefit from that>no reason to note this observation and teach crews about it. However at the same time I would have expected it to be mentioned in manuals of tank destroyer crews as it would mean a choice at where to shoot at a Tiger.

  1414. As a person, who was born in USSR, but grew up in the 90's, I was led to believe(by combination of various sources, including russian ones that claimed that Germany never had a chance in two way war to begin with) that WWII was won on 25th of August 1940. Because that's when after raid on Berlin, Luftwaffe changed their strategic goals and lost a chance to win Battle of Britain and grind RAF to dust. With that they lost a chance to get separate peace with UK and the Commonwealth and thus any attack on USSR was a suicide. Which they did. Basically it was a day Third Reich's command catched a mass aneurysm and decided to lose the war by their own choice. As the old saying goes, it was easy for Germany to win WWII, just follow 3 easy steps: don't take part in WWII, don't start WWII and don't be Germany during WWII \/(-_-)\/ It's a question that has many right and wrong answers, just like when WWII started(/cough/ in 1937 with the start of Second Sino-Japanese War /cough/). Great video. Hopefully in time it'll get subtitles in different languages so that one could show it to people that don't know English.

  1419. The real question that rises from it most of the time is... could have others used the same tactics? I guess people just project the image of british STEN that was dirt cheap, add this bit about soviets on top and try to make "what if" scenarios for every side that wasn't able to pump out enough guns. Like, "what if japanese pumped out millions of cheapest possible submachine guns and overran americans". WIthout taking into account that not all SMGs are simple, cheap and above all reliable, that bold actions can also be produced in "last ditch" way and that most importantly ammunition isn't free. More SMGs waste more pistol ammo and despite being smaller then rifle cartridges and thus having less propellant, they burn through ammo fast and you end up using MORE propellant. So more explosives goes to small arms ammo production as a result. And it increases the strain on your chemical industry.

BAR was extremely expensive rifle. Just ask american troops in Pacific if they would have preferred to have their BARs or two times that number of MG42... or fives times that number of DP-27, the true STEN of MGs. That's the problem you face with Chauchat. BAR is cool, but is it as cool as several times more guns that needed an incompetence of a factory bordering on sabotage to get BAR a chance to shine?

  1448.  @bkjeong4302  yeah, I know that. Want to hear a funny story about japanese light AAA btw? Remember how they eventually tried to copy Bofors 40mm autocannons in 1945? Do you know that this whole time japanese army(yes, infamous interservice rivalry strikes again) held several dozen german 3.7cm Flak 18/36 autocannons captured from republican chinese forces back in 1937! They copied 8.8cm Flak 18, but ignored all the autocannons they captured(there were also various examples of 20mm ones from various nations including swiss ones with a good drum and mount design). They also skipped on all captured LMGs, GPMGs and SMGs, but that's the problem of the army. Meaning that Japan could have been producing medium caliber autocannons since 1938 and could have used design solutions from various european light autocannons to fix their 25mm Hotchkiss clone around the same time...

Or just how the whole hysteria about gender neutral/special snowflake of the week bathrooms can be fixed by adding more bathrooms that will benefit all regardless. Remember those hour long lines to the bathroom at sport events? They're entirely manufactured nuisance by construction company just cheapening out on adding 3-4 more stalls. So in most cases "special group" rights are just human rights and would benefit all. Yes, adding touch marks to elevator buttons also counts in case lights are dimmed.

  1471.  @Klovaneer  1)you've just mixed up T-34M, T-43 and T-44. All separate projects. To the point of T-44 being closer in design to KV as funny as it is, lol; 2)T-34 wasn't "the best tank you have". It's overpriced for its capabilities and wasn't available in sufficient numbers until after 1943. If anything that was T-70 by proxy of SU-76.

  1472. As far as movies and videogames go, this is actually one of the best representations of minigun. Usually instead we see overheating pieces of shit that fire at around 600RPM max and can't penetrate shit. Here 1)the scene is in slow motion, 2).308 rips the wall behind and right into the hallway because single brick isn't stopping it, 3)it is kind of justified because it's used against agents, who can dodge almost anything. Here they don't even have a chance, they don't even have time to fire back at exposed Neo. Sadly machineguns(and especially GPMGs) are always portrayed too weak in media. Concerning the custom build automatic shotguns - I believe you can't upload your own design into Matrix. The server ie Agents would know that new external asset was added into the system. What I always found weird is why they cut so much on movement and guns. Basically the same as other media with superpowered gun users. If they can jump over a street onto another building, they can run up the wall too. Same goes for guns the weight of which they don't feel. Grab two SAWs, backpack of 50 round belts and any body armor that won't constrict movement(weight doesn't matter, range of movement still does). Or better yet go straight for 40mm AGLs...

  1476. As a european(from a certain territory where serfdom was still in effect when this war started) I can say that "bias" on adding allies or boons to the South side of American Civil War for most people outside US comes from the complete disparity of strength of both sides. It's the first modern war with modern tech, people are interested how it would have affected technology and tactics. Something that you can't have with Crimean War that happened shortly before it simply because neither Henry Repeater, nor Gattling Gun were there /cough/nor double action revolver, nor armored trains, nor non-french ironclads, nor even high degree of cartridge loaded firearms because both main beligerents were feudal societies stuck in middle ages/cough/ Maybe there's also an underdog bias mixed in. And a bit of a modern desire to see MORE americans shoot each other:D At least to outsiders(though I suspect that with conflict being so long ago even to locals too) the sociopolitical context is a bit lost. Maybe. Decemberist Uprisings and Polish Uprisings happened even earlier and I still have personal feelings on their outcomes:(

Simo is disputed to have over a thousand kills, a lot of them with SMG or unconfirmed. There were also soviet snipers whose score was pushing 700. The problem was confirming them. However most of them were using semiauto SVT-40 rifles(including Lydmila if I recall right) and the little fact that finnish Mosin-Nagant is different from Russian and soviet one!

  1484. 1)caliber. Mortars stopped at 160mm as being the heaviest among the useful range of calibers. It's harder to load, haul around and has less ammo capacity on same platforms, BUT those don't matter as much when you force those heavy mortars on self propelled chassis with assisted loading anyway. I guess here they stopped at lower caliber for the sake of inherent logistics of using more widespread caliber with existing supplies? 2)main advantage of mortar is how cheap and easy to use it it compared to normal gun. It's expendable and needs barely trained crew to iperate at minimum useful capacity. Here you put it on expensive IFV based hull and turn it into a vehicle with requirements for highly trained crews. Is it really better then simpler 120mm mortar with two loaders and pneumatic ammo crane inside an old APC like M113 or MT-LB? And is firing more accurate counts as more effective if you talk about expensive laser and GPS guided ammo for that, which would be better used for actual howitzers? I feel like the lack of orders is due to this system trying to "unmake" what makes mortars and invent self propelled howitzers the second time ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

First they claimed that they developed F-35 themselves, later they claimed they were just traveling to US to advise "stupid americans"(whom produced Harrier for decades) how to build aircraft, then story changed to just selling blueprints and nowadays it's sold blueprints in secrecy. Apparently the story slowly changing AGAIN to "just inspired" now?😅 Come on, surely Boeing also was advised/copying/inspired by Yak or some other soviet/russian jet? As did Harrier! And let's not forget Wright Brothers copying soviet plane if we would believe any russian claims 😂

  1487.  @andrewwoodhead3141  no one uses it for academic work(if they're at least serious about it and their superiors care about their reputation), the problem is that popular opinion isn't forged by academic work. Want to see the worst? Check several language versions of same articles. For example I can look up english, german, polish and russian. In theory even google translate can be used to view them. Polish version will blatantly ignore all russian sources and vice versa, germans suprisingly agree on many points with russians, but english version also ignores both, russians quote english sources, but do so in regards to translated and edited versions. And so on. I'd even go so far as to say that german versions of WWII related articles are the most objective. They're not afraid to admit what they have done and thus also have no fear of exposing/supporting others resulting in the most broad selection of sources and opinions that gets filtered instead of being dismissed simply by the nation of origin. It's an ideological battleground of Cold War(which apparently ended long ago in said public opinion:)), what have you wanted?

  1491.  @YorkerEli  you can't mass produce top of the line MBTs. Opto-electronic components and FCS in general are just too big of a bottleneck. So every T-90M, Leo 2A7, K2, M1A2 Sep 3 or whatever your country is proud of is not coming back. You can somewhat produce or rather return to service previous gen MBTs like Russia did with T-62 with thermals. And guess what? Those are technically better then their own T-72B's as those T-62's can at least see something and are just as useless in combat against modern MBTs and just as weak against ATGMs and aviation. But for much lower price. So the name of the game looks to be dirt cheap "infantry"/recon tanks that are easy to replace which are used on the whole front to probe and to support infantry, but which fall back and call REAL tanks when situation starts getting hot. Even if calling these tanks expendable is ducked up. You don't want to hear that you're in expendable tank, do you?;)

Would have Poland suffered as much if it was in the Axis and was later betrayed by germans? Or would nazis somehow twist their tale and claim that poles are aryans too if Poland would have joined them in 1937 or earlier? That's a "several dozen millions lives worth" question right there...

In both cases it saved up A LOT on gun weight in cases where they weren't expected to shoot accurately(or rather at all) past 200m. Or rather what is your opinion on a combination of the two?;) "Hey, comrade, have you heard where we were shot from?" "No idea." "Have you seen anything?"

  1554.  @dominuslogik484  they weren't outdated in technological terms for a few more years then that, it's the engine and armor that failed them. I'll explain... Italians had several T-26 as trophies in Spain. Those tanks became a basis of italian medium and heavy tank projects. They also captured one BT-5, but apparently that thing vanished as it had no impact on italian tank development. Anyway, T-26 became basis of "temporary" M11/39 tank and mainline production M13/40, M14/41 and M15/42 medium tanks. The latter had "forked" into P75, which eventually ended up becoming P26/40 heavy tank in italian service. General layout, suspension and even MTU were still heavily T-26 derived and thus are one of the last Vickers 6 ton derivatives designed and put into service.

  1555.  @Treblaine  I mean if the military and designers weren't constrained by costs and time, they would have designed smaller rifle round or bigger pistol round for this purpose back when SMGs first appeared. Ie SMG was an attempt to make AR, but with available tech. So when they have gotten the budget for new round, it had obviously gotten new mechanism to work with it. But the purpose, niche and driving idea was always the same. It's not blimp vs helicopter situation in my eyes, but rather an gyrocopter and helicopter. Hopefully that describes my thought process clearly enough.

Those f//ckers broke in, haven't listened to anything, noticed the gun, started blasting, killed the home owner, killed one of their own by shooting him through the neck in the back, beat his wife and imprisoned her.

Context: PPSh-41 uses high velocity ammo and has a barrel length below the optimal for said ammo type so a certain portion of energy is just wasted, not to mention the RoF is also lowered a bit. A better assembled gun for same ammo with optimal barrel length and with that configuration that aims for best balance of the gun would be easily counted as a carbine(for WWII times) despite pistol ammo.

  1560. It still a strange choice. Depending on the front you'd have 9x19, 7.62x54, 7.92x57 and .308 in the plenty. Only first two are still in use today. So you best bet is 9mm sidearm, 9mm UZI or other SMG, most modern MG you can find an ammo for(M1919A6 and MG-42 for last two, Pecheneg for 7.62x54R) and likewise with semi-auto sniper rifles(PSL aka AK or SVD/SVU for 7.62x54, FN Model 1949 for all others).

They also were pretty salty when their glorious american overlords had chosen real China over them and abandonned them like an old toy that had outlived it's usefullness. Well, at least they're going to stop breaking Geneva Convention in 2018... unless they'll move the date a few years further again :D

  1567. +baal blade So Bruce beating Kal to a draw using his psych restrictions, kryptonite and Zod's armor(which did a good job in MoS just as Clark's own non rippable blue suit:)) is less realistic then Tony NOT using a hundred of remote controlled Hulkbusters with support modules in upcoming Civil War film(or at almost any other situation) without any reasoning behind such restrictions AGAIN?
    2
  1568. shashwot kc Nope, he wouldn't. No speed force in Marvel universe, remember? Flash was beaten by angry mob of meta haters. Besides his power always vanish when put against Kal, Diana or Bruce despite not being limited by laws of physics in any way unlike Kal for example. As for Ironman's weakness being EMP... how exactly can he use it as one of his weapons then? Is Superman walking around with tiberium this days?

  1569. Nicodamus Likewise he had died to Joker while Tony fought Thor, Thanos, screwed up Phoenix Force and so on. Either bring up facts or just drop it. Or do you want to say that nowaday Spider-man would likewise beat Lex Luthor in his armor?

  1575. Macephtopheles Well, Tony's suits are calculated to cost 2.3-3.7 billions each, but that is if someone else would have been creating them. They're designed by him, put together by him and even calibrated by him. No need to pay sh//tloads of high pay specailists for years plus all thematerials he gets from his company. And as I've said, he does not even need to pay for energy. Dr.Strange on the other hand won't use it in such a way exactly because it by some 1/100th percent of a chance might cause trouble on bigger scale and influence a lot of people's lives in a bad way. Yeah, the whole tread is people talking about irl economics no being the same as comic book ones and then saying that Black Panther would be the richest because they believe that's how irl economics work.

  1577. Macephtopheles His first reactor was made from scraps. Non of the materials he uses for reactors are THAT expensive(except for unknown one he uses as reactor core conductor AND synthesizes himself too anyway). What else? From the start of the Avengers we see Tony promoting his fusion tech. Who said that Stark/Avengers tower does not provide most of NY's energy now? Just install a stationary version instead of a smaller fusion cell and yes, the analogy here is very precised. Hulkbuster had dozens of smaller cells instead of bigger one so it's almost guaranteed that by this time Tony is mass producing them even if for his own purposes. Heli carriers are created thanks to his tech(and thanks to Deadpool we've seen one more giving us a total count of 5 already). His fusion reactors are both clean, safe and can outproduce anything for their size. How much he can get from signing contract for one of ITER size?

И хотя японцы по многим параметрам просто оказываются больными наголову(100% уровень чистосердечных призваний у задержанных. К чему бы это?), но если хотите быть конкурентоспособными, детей придется перегружать. Либо выкидывать нафиг ненужные предметы, что сделать без специализации невозможно, а дети сами специализацию на будущее фиг выберут. При этом школы имеют отличные(прямо стахановские) результаты по уничтожению любой тяги к знаниям, любви к предметам, способности к самообучению и даже желанию читать. Но тут все же контекст в основном про ВУЗы. И прос... потерянное звено среднего специального образования, которое из предмета гордости стало клеймом в устах общественности.

  1592. Soldano999 Well, back in times of Morrowind it wasn't just that. Compared to Skyrim that game was just massive for it's time.
    2
  1593. Soldano999 Morrowind wasn't a breakthrough, but it was the game that got most work done in the whole series. Most of the books we find in Skyrim and Oblivion are from there. In comparison Bethesda is investing very little work in their titles nowadays. I've prefered Gothic back then.
    2
  1594. Racionalitat n'andalú thanks to at least someone finding the words to point out why Morrowind is the golden age of the series and one of the corner stones of the genre... while Skyrim is a commercial success thanks to megatons of advertisement(even Blizzard's Overwatch probably had less), but on the inside is quiet void and unmemorable expirience.

Jarsia in ME genetic and cybernetical augmentation is an expected from you norm(which the game never actually attempts to use in a storyline or show in a different light for some reason) and the armor is never praised despite all of their models being highly advanced power armor with loads of integraded systems(those ungrateful f///s=( ) and the one you've probably meant(N7 Destroyer) is more of a damned mecha that completly replaces wearers abillities.

  1601. ануар жанакаев это револьверы эпохи черного пороха, они безгильзовые, то есть заряжаются просто засыпанием пороха в барабан и заталкиванием пули вслед. На задней части барабана капсюли воспламенители, их у этой модели 10, зарядных камор же 5. В каждую камору заряжалось два выстрела(порох, пуля, порох, пуля), поэтому барабан такой длинный. Первый капсюль шел напрямую к задней части барабана, воспламеняя заряд второго "заднего" выстрела; второй же капсюль шел через специальное скрытое отверстие к передней части барабана и его воспламенение достигало заряда в каморе через маленькое боковое отверстие. Движения барабана рассчитаны по кол-вы камор, значит позиций у него 5, выстрелов же 10. При этом револьвер рассчитан на правую руку, т.к. курки у него разные для того, чтобы даже при нажатии на оба, выстрелы не происходили одновременно(и уж тем более, чтобы "задний" не выстрелил первым). Курок "первого" выстрела - левый, он шире и выдается вперед. При нажатии указательным пальцем правой руки, нажать правый курок "второго" выстрела до "первого" просто не получилось бы. Оружие получилось маломощным, ненадежным и дорогим, популярности не сыскало. Поэтому в голову при слове револьвер и приходит Кольт, а не Волш или еще кто-то:) Канал отличный, но язык вам подтянуть стоит.

  1606. "That's Dushka" Shows NSV:D DShK didn't change anything except proven that Degtyarev was a lazy ass while Shpagin was a genius. DK was piece of crap loaded with pan magazine, useless as HMG. Shpagin made the gun reliable, belt fed and then worked on simplifying it. Hence DShK. Followed by DShKM ie M-modernized. Then it was replaced by NSV and nowadays by Kord. DShK didn't change war just like M2 didn't. German 13.2 TuF did. And russian military isn't stuck in 1940's to still be using DDhK:P In fact most guns you show in insurgent hands are Type 54, chinese copies which are nowadays supplied to anybody who's ready to shoot people and cause chaos. P.S.: it got replaced "fairly quickly" ie in 40 years after its development(DK 1931, NSV 1972) because it was becoming obsolete. M2 is here around just because US army is treated by government as crap, not getting either budget or attention of navy and USAF. They fixed f//cking spacing issue only in early 2000's while that could have been done back in 1940's! M2 is overweight recoil operated piece of rusty junk. It's better then no HMG, but it's not the one you'd want to carry around. And it's weirdly expensive to produce(though that's usual of Browning).

  1611.  @GaryGang911  St. Browning: I can't, I'm either in Europe or dead depending on the year! Jokes aside, IF he had ever received a proposition to make one, he surely would have made it. Military should have been making requests more careful. BAR is a great gun with potential for being automatic rifle, battle rifle, LMG and GPMG all in one system as indicated by its worldwide use. Problem is... it was all done NOT in US service where BAR past WWI was turned into abomination by pooling feedback from troops, who wanted either automatic rifle or LMG into a single gun which couldn't be either. We have seen swedish variants for lighter ammo and Colt Monitor with its pistol grip and muzzle brake, we had also seen quick change barrels, heavy barrels with ridges or fluting, compensators and flash hiders, belt fed versions and versions with RPM of 1000+ for aircraft use, alternate stocks and different magazines, different sights. That gun had SO MANY variations and possibilities... and all were NOT in US service:( P.S.: BAR is an opposite of cheap, but can probably be made to be. Again, if Browning was asked to do so:D

  1616. Psst, check german guns, mate;)
    2
  1617. Ok, I don't get it. These people definitely know how to make a gun, they definitely put a lot of work in, BUT then they make a fake rear sights that take several times more work to detail then if they put actual sights? Either this is 1)a planned subtle sabotage to trick warlord soldiers to buy fake "fancy" guns that are actually unusable as you can't aim thus killing two birds OR 2)they lack the sights to hide the fact that the gun doesn't have any sort of accuracy because either the barrel isn't rifled and/or the craftsmen had no way/desire/time to zero all the guns and without rear sight customer can't check where the gun shoots. Or maybe a combination of both. Because it seems like doing simplified pocket pistol styled sights would already be an improvement and save workhours at the same time. And a person, who can copy a firing/trigger group should understand what is sights and how they work since otherwise they wouldn't be able to use their own tools:D

  1618. This all reminds me how destroyers started as torpedo boats with guns, grew to torpedo boat destroyers, outgrew torpedo boat part of the name, grew even more with destroyer leaders being light cruisers under other name and now we have destroyers with mass of heavy cruiser, armaments of battlecruiser and pricetag of battleships. And people decided to invent torpedo boat destroyers once again as "cheaper alternative". I've seen this cycle in navy, I've seen it in tank development with MBT being too precious so we now have light and medium tanks back, we've even starting to see it with fighters as every fighter eventually is replaced by much larger multirole fighter-bomber which requires a lighter and more expendable fighters to be on second roles. So now jeeps grew up and for 50th time reinvented armored car. As a result for 50th time some guy reinvented a jeep... Tbh it would have been funny if all the people involved weren't as oblivious about going in circles.

  1623. Because for some reason americans believe that ALL helicopters MUST fit into a transport plane. Hence absence of native Mi-26 analogue or even desire to purchase Mi-26. Which would have looked really cool with King Stallion styled air refuelling mast and engine mufflers. And since americans don't produce bigger helicopter, Westland can't license bigger helicopter. Even if unlike US, they don't have to care about transatlantic logistics of it and all it needs to fly over is English Channel 😅

  1624.  @lightdarthvader777  Russia gave Syria a few dozen T-62's at best after 2000 total. Syria had over 1000 of their own T-62 that they purchased from USSR from 1973 to 1984. And almost 200 more were apparently sold by Russia from 1991 to 1995. And that was the last delivery until 2018. However in case of T-72 the situation is far more interesting and russian "adventures in Syria" are one of the main reasons Russia has such huge discrepancies between tanks on paper and tanks in actual service. On paper Russia should have between 5000 and 7000 T-72 in active service ie combat ready. Unless those tanks were lost in 2014-2022 in Ukraine, we lost in Syria, were sold on black market and cannibalised for parts for "new production" of T-90A over the years. I wonder where those tanks might be?

It's not suited for wartime use against enemy troops. Slow, flimsy, lacks proper bomb bay and precision capability, no armor or defensive armaments, no way to support it by fighter escorts. You got what I'm saying, eh? It's a first strike weapon against civilian population that would be sent on one way trip BEFORE declaration of war. Ie 1930's WMD designed to kill millions of "enemy" civilians without any declaration of war. Back before radar interception was a thing. Now tell me, is it a war crime? It's not retaliatory weapon, it's not mutually assured destruction and it sure as heck isn't a combat worthy one, neither for offense, nor for defense as you like to call it. Come on, give me a justification why it won't be an act of planned ideologically and nationality driven genocide? I want to hear it.

  1631.  @Limescale12  yes and no. Not by "any pew pew" by a long shot. There's a reason calibers below 30mm didn't last long in the role of SPAAG on neither side of the Cold War. They just lacked the firepower needed for the role even if volume of fire was great. 20-23mm didn't cut it(even if Phalanx and VADS have it). And they needed a direct hit too. Even nowadays they need. While it's easy to have programmable ammo at 30-35mm and even at 25mm nowadays. But Sergeant York(SY from here) lowered VT fuzes to 40mm caliber. It was a real breakthrough of the time. Sadly that system itself lacked volume of fire required. Meanwhile Vigilante has less widespread caliber and unique chassis working againt its introduction. Vigilante should have had reworked to 40mm as its technical design requirement and they should have used tank chassis as SY did. Rotary cannon volume of fire combined with 40mm VT fuzed ammunition... and ability to use all other "off the shelf" 40mm ammunition made by Bofors. Including APDS with high enough penetration to ruin the day of some tanks.

Meanwhile good movies have scripts rewritten over DECADES and spend one or two more in production hell. MCU barely worked out with half the movies being pointless filler nobody recalls.

В прицеле не подсвечивается считаешь ты себя украинцем, россиянином или просто молодым балбесом, ты просто получишь пулю. Граница зоны конфликта есть граница зоны конфликта, там разбираться не будут. Особенно сейчас, когда в Китае "пропали" более 20 лямов сотовых абонентов за последний месяц, а в США мрут почти по тысяче человек в день. Ты биотеррорист и все тут.

Can't say that it's on any kiss since I found out about ot only after the run of the movie in cinemas ended(and I'm in eastern europe so it was a probably a month behind by that point). Haven't seen it to this day:D P.S.: but seriously, check whom you're paying and for what. 370+ million among all the striking and unionising talks from people that do the job and are not properly paid paints a picture of middle management blowing money and upper management outright stealing.

То есть мы говорим примерно о 60 ТРИЛЛИОНАХ долларов. ЕЖЕГОДНО!

Roma and Tirpitz are also famous for being victims of aviation, but morons forget that they were victims of STRATEGIC land based bombers. Something that can make "obsolete" even the nowaday supercarriers as none of them can fully defend itself against cruise missile carriers like B-1A/B or Tu-160.

  1664. "Who would wash in this filthy toxic river?" Well, nowadays it would be poor uneducated population clinging to tradition. Originally? People wanting to live despite living in an era long before antibiotics. River Gang is(or rather was) one of the few naturally occuring habitats for bacteriophage colonies ie viruses that specifically hunt and kill bacteria. They weren't known in the west for a few generations, but finally after collapse of USSR Poland and several other former Warsaw Pact member had finally translated the century of research data to anglophiles:D Nowadays they are used in cases when bacteria in question have high tolerance to antibiotics or immunity to most common antibiotics. In case of antibiotics collapse(ie most common bacteria in the wild get immune to all available forms of antibiotics due to their overuse in animal farming by corporations) they are your best hope. Problem is that they're slow to grow and also need to be specialized to work at their best. Which combined means that almost nobody has a ready supply of them. Except Russia. Part of soviet legacy is to keep a ready bank of those for most common bacterial diseases in case of disaster. Poland probably had one as well, but idk if they kept it going.

  1666.  @SonsOfLorgar  there are NO smaller caliber bolter as Imperium lost tech to miniaturise the ammo. Lower caliber bolters were used only by Astartes and for the same reason why in Vietnam spec ops guys were getting shit like de facto M4(can't recall the name of that Colt Carbine) in 5.56 when lowest priority troops of south vietnam were given M1 carbines in .30 - smaller doesn't mean weaker, it means more ammunition capacity, higher rates of fire, lower weight, more controllable recoil. I have no idea which youtuber sprouted a myth about "IG has smaller caliber bolter", but that guy has no idea what compromises are made during firearm development. So no, it'll actually be the opposite - Astartes would have lower caliber guns and poor cannon fodder schmucks would have cumbersome, low capacity, slow firing junk. Hmm, maybe M16 vs M14 is better parallel for people to understand?
    2
  1667.  @WindFireAllThatKindOfThing  can you provide source on .50 bolter? And why wouldn't Astartes use it instead then? More ammo, lighter gun. It's not as if Astartes are dropping into battlefield and are limited to ammo they've dropped with, eh?
    2
  1668.  @SonsOfLorgar  List a source then, come on. There's none. Read comment above this one, I already mentioned patterns you've misread. Just open bolter or boltgun page on any of those sites, click "search/find on page" and enter .50. Good luck. Maybe you'd finally be the guy, who finds it! Because I didn't. Many, many, many times. Yes, they mention Astartes using "hotter ammo", not higher caliber. IE they are handcrafted, use exotic rare materials and more advanced tech for both rounds and guns. But caliber is the same. That's why there was such a thing as mentions of Astartes pattern rounds being stolen and sold on black market to bounty hunters to be used in so called bolt carbines. If you have no idea WHICH type of .30 M1 Carbine used then it's your problem. If you think that M1 Carbine is better then Colt Commando, then it's also your problem. However my "word salad" is simple example of lower caliber gun being MORE advanced then higher caliber one. Because bigger doesn't equal better all the time. Or maybe we should compare modern PDWs to Thompson SMG to get something to click in your head?

  1671. 4:40 When time and resources are limited I always try to choose PTRS/PTRD solution. Context: those are soviet AT rifles rushed into production in 1941. PTRS was overall better semi-auto rifle, PTRD was cheap, fast to produce, "good enough" and still reliable single shot rifle. They produced BOTH. PTRDs task was to saturate the army with AT rifles, PTRSs job was to rearm army with better one. So proper solution was to put FAL into service ASAP and start small scale production of EM-2 for paratroopers, marines, vehicle crews and so on that would have allowed to iron out all the problems in the meantime. Yes, logistics hates doubling analogues. But they have operated with worse during the wars and they're not exactly filling the same niche at that stage.

  1673. It would have taken only 30k$ for Russia to install Drozd APS on a single tank, 10k$ per crewmember for a chance to survive old ATGMs and to screen other vehicles too. A price of a used car or something like new Lada, a drop compared to price of tank itself. Soviets used them on bloody T-55's because upgrading marines to T-72's seemed too expensive! So I'm not sure that OP's "just a few thousand per tank" work in context of Russia even if those screens were suitable:D

Presidential democracies AREN'T democracies. Never were, never will be. That's why presidential "democracies" are so popular in South and Central America, Central Africa, Middle East and post USSR states. Yes, that's the list USA is part of.

I know that outdated corpse of a game engine is limited to 440 meters, but is it so hard to change a few numbers in text file and adjust draw distance to maximum and just separate detection and marker distance to work on previous mechanics? One test server... ugh.

  1686. Was there ever an intermediate version of M60? I heard that between modernized(ie newest variants in service) M60 and M240, the latter is better suited as full power GPMG, while former is (somehow) better suited for rapid movement. So wouldn't it be better that instead of M249 there existed a, well, let's call it M69 or something?

  1688. The question in thumbnail makes me think that we should really split ATGM classification into light/handheld and heavy/mounted ones. I mean, yeah, it is and Stuhna is also better. But only in same manner as 17-pounder/BS-3/Pak43 is better then 6-pounder/ZiS-2 ie higher range and bigger payload for which you pay with weight of the system and mobility. Javelin was so effective in Ukraine because it, Stuhna and NLAW were working together, covering all ranges and targets. TOW-2 would be occupying the same spot as Stuhna in that trinity. So it won't change much... except ukranians being far less conservationist with the ammo reserves at longer ranges.

Wouldn't by that definition ALL drills be considered machineguns? /Looks at STEN/ And add all the plumbing equipment to that list too, I guess? I can understand a person, who OWNS said part getting into trouble IF said part would be found installed on their rifle, but any case beside that seems like the written law is just ignored.

When corporations will replace all workers, report recordproduction numbers, but will suddenly find out that no one has money left to purchase their products because they themselves left whole world without work, then it'll be funny. And then we'd see if society will adapt or if they'd allow humanity to starve sitting on nigh endless resources:D But we still have 70-90 years before that. Plus maybe WWIII coming out somewhere around 2034...

Try to find distance job in US and you'll get higher wage then in most EU states. Then move to Austria if you're democrat or to Finland of you're republican. Problem solved. And the education is much cheaper. It's just a bit colder and darker here then in your country.

  1734. Was mention of angling absent in US manuals because just like Panther M4 had quite vulnerable sides and had to rely on already angled front plate? Compared to earlier generation "boxy" tanks like PzKw.III, IV, KV-1 and Tiger. Even T-34 had extremely angled side armor that was eating away at its potential internal space and which didn't reappear on newer soviet medium tanks. So de facto US simply had no vehicle in service that would benefit from that>no reason to note this observation and teach crews about it. However at the same time I would have expected it to be mentioned in manuals of tank destroyer crews as it would mean a choice at where to shoot at a Tiger.

  1737.  @heinzsielmann5952  T-34-85 was good. But all that was good in it was coming from that new T-43 turret. T-34 itself? Not so much. And it certainly WASN'T fit for mass production. Bogies or torsion bars are what you'd want for suspension for mass production, like T-60/70 light tanks for example. Christie suspension is a bitch to construct and especially maintain. That's why Comet was the last tank to use it, while bogies(Hortsmann/HVSS) were still used on Chieftain and torsion bars are widespread nowadays. The other issue is angled side armor that substantially increases production cost for no real benefit. That's why T-44, T-54 and onwards don't bother with that. The bloody Panther was almost as cheap as T-34 despite being much larger and more capable. Why? Because IT was streamlined for mass production. T-34 wasn't, the production plants just sucked at their jobs and at quality control.

It's still a gun that you would rather use from a tripod, however one that can be pushed into bipod use if needed.

  1750.  @HankScorpio64  I haven't said that they were bad, have I? I said that a lot of them were a bit too expensive for the war Japan was fighting. DP-28 is cheaper then the gun in the video and has a two different drum options. And if you have seen video on it, it is less fancy, but good enough to do its job. Other example is PPSh-41 and especially PPS-43. Japan lacked SMGs in any serious capacity being too late to realize what their own gun designers were telling them. And once again, their SMGs were too expensive to produce compared to PPS-43(it wasn't STEN cheap, but it was better. Still loses to Owen though:)) Due to the condition of respective fronts, soviets developed equipment that would have made japanese army(that was thrown under the bus by japanese navy), salivate. Not by its technology in most cases, but by abundance of it. USSR didn't have to dedicate a lot of resources to naval development during the war after all! And it also connects with the fact that japanese carried out all the WRONG lessons from Battle of Khalkin-Gol(ok, not screwing around with USSR might have been a good one, but the rest were counter productive and one sided).
    2
  1751.  @HankScorpio64  1)japanese had exactly that. In fact they were (in)famous for constantly finding ways to add more workers to production. Like schoolchildren for example. 2)what defensive war?! Japan was on defensive only in 1944/45, last two years of war for it. 2 out of 8! Second Sino-Japanese War and de facto WWII started in 1937! They needed equipment that would have helped them defeat continental China. 3)MG-34 is an expensive gun. MG42 somewhat fixed that(it was even cheaper to produce then BREN), but I'd still take two DP-28's LMGs for each single MG42 GPMG. Once again, it's not a defensive war and won't become one if japanese don't get bogged down in China. Situation that happened partially because japanese distrusted army after Khalkin-Gol to the point of forgetting how their own tanks were effective prior. Because they got scared by soviet ones and haven't taken it as a sign that "yes, tanks should be the future, we were right and should invest more into them since China isn't going to have a lot of them".

  1758. So, basically the mentioned mount and drum problems. First can be fixed by using carbine version "ramp" to install mounting rail, the other is usual for drums and can be expected anywhere. So if those would be carbine versions in full auto and they would be selling existing stock(ie have more flexibility with price range in hands of sane person not high on sunken costs he'd never make back), there is actually a possibility of selling them off? Ability to screw on barrel attachments and full auto versions would be welcome of course:D Or is there something else that would turn off even usual customer sector for impractical shit like drums and bullpups?

  1766. As a person, who was born in USSR, but grew up in the 90's, I was led to believe(by combination of various sources, including russian ones that claimed that Germany never had a chance in two way war to begin with) that WWII was won on 25th of August 1940. Because that's when after raid on Berlin, Luftwaffe changed their strategic goals and lost a chance to win Battle of Britain and grind RAF to dust. With that they lost a chance to get separate peace with UK and the Commonwealth and thus any attack on USSR was a suicide. Which they did. Basically it was a day Third Reich's command catched a mass aneurysm and decided to lose the war by their own choice. As the old saying goes, it was easy for Germany to win WWII, just follow 3 easy steps: don't take part in WWII, don't start WWII and don't be Germany during WWII \/(-_-)\/ It's a question that has many right and wrong answers, just like when WWII started(/cough/ in 1937 with the start of Second Sino-Japanese War /cough/).

  1780.  @normanmccollum6082  Show me a conscript, who's more accurate with 5,45*39 then with 7,62*39 first! There's none!:D Inaccuracy of AKM is mostly a myth. If your aim is oversized AKM, then yes, it worked just fine. However RPK was replacing RPD and that meant significant loss of firepower. However it was still done in favour of unification with AKM. Come 5,45*39 and military kept asking for the belt. PU-1/PU-21 was a project to have 5,45*39 LMG with universal feed aka using both magazines and belts. Sounds familiar? However project faced multiple technical problems and dragged on for too long. The final nail in the coffin was inability of soviet engineers of the time to create a version of "Rakov's machine" for 5,45*39 for filling the belt. As a result project was stopped and soviet soldiers were stuck with slower rate of fire gun without belt feed and with reliance on either expensive and unreliable drums or long magazines that made it impossible to fire from prone position. In essence soviet spent almost two decades developing equivalent of M249 because they were unsatisfied with RPK and RPK-74... and nowadays we see american civilians claiming that switch from M249 to RPK equivalent to get all the same drawbacks soviets weren't satisfied with is somehow a good idea \/(-_-)\/

  1783. I've been trying to figure out what exactly does "ballistically match means". It's not just a velocity and drag. And trajectory can't be a perfect match either as it'll match only at certain points and distances. What I was trying to figure is how do I find a ballistic match for a gun X? For example for WWII and post WWII field and tank guns. What data do I need for say making a spotting gun for soviet A-19 or for 17 pounder? How will I make the calculations? Can I make variable ammo for spotting gun for variable ammo of original gun or will the difference be too big/not worth the effort?

  1787.  @abandonedchannel281  BT-2/5/7 were outdated in concept tanks. They were de facto cavalry tanks. In soviet doctrine that had no place for cavalry tanks. For a light tank they were massive, too expensive and not armed good enough to justify the previous points. They did great against Japan, but that was mostly up to the doctrine used and the training of the crews. Needed stepping stone for T-34, but not much more. KV-2 was a mess. Completly unusable. But a needed stepping stone for soviet heavy tank and assault gun developement. T-34 and KV-1 are a complicated topic, so I'll talk about only a few points about original early production that was mostly fixed by 1942. Early T-34 was a mess. It retained a turret that was designed back on A-20, inherited later by A-32 with some modifications and ended up on T-34. The problem? It was a 2 man turret for 45mm gun. They installed 76mm cannon into it. Not a howitzer with short barrel, but a full blown cannon. For medium tanks of the time it was an equivalent of jumping the shark. Massive rise in firepower, but comparable drop in usability of the turret. It was too cramped, gases were collecting too fast and visibility was abyssmal. And that not the end. Grabin was being late with his F-34 and ZiS-5 cannons for T-34 and KV-1 respectively. So instead they installed L-11. It was a really shitty gun to say the least. Next trouble was the armor thickness and it's quality. Soviet industry had experience with producing plates thicker then 60mm for navy and thinner then 30 for most purposes. 45mm of T-34 was right in between. That meant that rolling process wasn't finalised. And in early stages of the war, armor of those was prone to cracking just as much as german one. In fact most photos of T-34 with extra plates welded on the front have those added to prevent cracking upon impact. The thickness was still holding up at that moment. There are also two secondary points about Christie suspension being obsolete by that point and turret ring being too small. All of the above were pointed out during military trials and T-34M project was prepared. However it was planned for autumn of 1941... most of T-34M fixes were applied to 1942 production model though. Step by step. Except suspension. That was the bane that limited the modification potential of many tanks, T-34 included. It meant that T-34-85 couldn't get extra armor due to weight issues even if it got bigger turret ring and new turret with new gun. SU-100 comes into here too. It had revised hull compared to SU-85 which was somewhat based on problems experienced in previous model, but also had a few compromises to fit bigger gun. It also suffered from weak lack of suspension reserve and especially because they couldn't spare time to readjust production process for them - weight imbalance at vehicle front could have been fixed by adjusting positions of 2 forward wheels however as SU-100 had shared production with T-34 on the same line, it was impossible to do without stopping production of parent vehicle. And so those 2 forward most wheels on both sides were being used at critical conditions and prone to giving up long before others. KV-1. Same problem with weight and L-11 gun. KV-1S lightened version was created solely to fix problems with suspension not being up to vehicles weight. Oh, I also forgot an engine and transmission. Both T-34 and KV-1 had problem with both. They were both supposed to receive new engine and new transmission for it, but due to time constraints they were first being produced with different older engine. Not suitable for new transmission. And thus prone to breaking(you're seeing parallels with Panther now? Yeah, that what happens when you don't have an ocean between you and enemy and you have to produce new tanks without the luxury of time and safety to test them). And new engines were also not completly finished so new examples had very short lifespan of just a few hundred hours before the little "bugs and glitches" were fixed. What that meant? That crews were NOT ALLOWED to train with new vehicles just so that they won't wore them down. Both great tanks those T-34 and KV-1... in late 1942 or 1943. Back when germans also bounced back with F2 and Tiger.

  1788. Lol, sorry, Ian, but it's no heresy, it's a family reunion! :D To specify, M14 is based on M1 Garand... which was one of the main inspirations Kalashnikov used to create his avtomat prototypes as well as semi-auto rifle that predated them(not sure about his SMG as I haven't seen a single picture of it). More specifically, he copied gas system. So in a way, M14 and AKM are part of the same branch unlike FN FAL, G3 and Colt.

And it uses a proprietary autocannon shell together with that... hmm... is similar vein as how 15mm shell of MG-151 was "upgunned" to 20mm or how soviets used the casing of their 14,5x114 to get 23mm autocannon ammo. Can be used in DShK mount, uses DShK belts, is lighter then older HMGs... China, Russia, Ukraine, NATO countries with leftover soviet stock, most of Asia, Africa and South America.

What can go wrong?" And then they did it several times in a row. Until finally heavier russian armor came and allowed whatever remained of VDV troops to claim small victory for a short amount of time. Their air assault in the south was even worse disaster. I guess nobody told russian high command that despite both being thrown out of a plane, paratroopers and bombs aren't used in the same way 😅 P.S.: thanks to them Russia now can't have their paratroopers acting as mobile "firefighters" on the defensive, appearing in short order to plug holes, slow down the breakthroughs and allow a more coordinated fall backs.

  1817. Allied flame tanks in comparison had much thicker armor and had retained their main guns. I'm referring to both Churchill Crocodile AND KV-8, the latter had 45mm gun in place of their normal 76mm, but said 45mm still had APHE shell that can deal with most german armor up to Panther and has a respectable HE shell to deal with towed guns.

  1818. I guess people see an unholy mix of AKM and SA-80 in EM-2 and think that it would have 1)allowed to get proper intermediate round for NATO out sooner despite american interference; 2)would allow to work out all the quirks of SA-80 or in this case EM-2M(?) decades earlier; 3)potentially allow the rework of .280 British into more familiar .223 round just like soviets switched intermediate round generations between 7.62x39 and 5.45x39 by having the same case, but new bullet and explosive filler used. Once again, decades earlier. BUT Did the british ever feel like you were left out or underpowered in terms of infantry firepower in those decades? I mean, even if finalized and modernized EM-2(EM-2M, EM-3, whatever) would be available, americans(who would actually benefit from adopting it) wouldn't notice it and would still run around with M14.
    2
  1819. Here is the thing. It's like mentioning cold in Winter War or Stalingrad. Both sides suffered from cold equally. Likewise Russia also has access to cheap chinese drones, their own anti radiation missiles, ballistic radars for counter battery fire and so on. Difference is that it's neither produced, nor maintained, nor are troops and officers trained with it. Russia is exactly where Georgia was in 2008 and Ukraine was in 2014 in terms of functional military. And unlike those, it's not interested in learning.

  1824. Sadly Stalker didn't have jam animations like New Vegas and Far Cry 2. And sadly all of this games will stay one timers. Far Cry decided that details don't sell as good as expensive hyperaggressive marketing(story wasn't added in later games either:P), Bethesda decided to fallback on a more casual crowd, who want to have fun, not invest time into learning it after they've already invested money in buying the game and Stalker... well, it just sort of died. Even if it was supported by years by modders(same as NW), became a cult classic(all of them actually are), brought to live a dozen attempts to copy it's experience like Survarium or EfT and we even got possible news of next parts development finally starting again(after previous devs left company with already finished parts like concept arts that they've later used in that abysmal Survarium). Metro doesn't have jamming, but oh, those idle animations... And ArmA, well, it stays ArmA. No one can compete or copy it. Or maybe no one is trying.
    2
  1825. It's also similar to aircraft industry in another aspect - it's cheaper to build new modern plant then refurbish a Vietnam era one. That's why american air manufacturers are moving states right now. And why modernizing Three Miles might be not the best idea. Location is good, all the support infrastructure is in place including cooling towers, but then the plant itself... ehm... in nuclear technology terms it's a dinosaur 😅

  1833. It's not. ZSU-57-2 was a dedicated SPAAG. This thing however exists for the same purpose US is started producing 50mm version of Bushmaster - garbage variety drones cost several times less then AA missile of Tunguska or even Pantsir(system that aimed to produce simplest missile solution specifically). This is still an IFV. Just with extended range, programmable warhead and dedicated "flak" round to counter swarms of those 400$ flying quadcopters with cameras and jury rigged with laser pointers and/or IEDs at twice the range 30-35mm autocannons could.

Algerian "recipe" for vehicle with same protection, firepower and 20% of the price: buy Berezhok(30mm autocannon, 30mm AGL, 4 ATGMs, GPMG) armament module, put it on hull of retired T-62, install ERA.

  1847. Simple - because they KNEW what they have done and there was no "innocent Wehrmacht" myth to save them from people, who would want to have revenge and just delete their whole damn culture for all they have done in th east. They'd knew that if they had collapsed, there will be the equal amount of mercy to them that they have shown to civilians in the east:D
    2
  1848.  @xharth8136  yeah, it was kind of ironic. However not everyone were as lucky. There are mentions of some former wehrmacht soldiers in french foreign legion, who were sent to fight french colonial wars(why waste such brutality, right?), not even being 18 at the time of their deployment. Plus whole working camp situation when relatives couldn't even find them and the infamous "hunting" of american PoW convoys to take away prisoners to said camps to help restore french industry. However they should be thankfull that Cold War was in full swing and potential soviet front needed meat on the grinder ASAP:D

P.S.: if someone mentions GLONASS they probably have enough braincells to go check number of satellites in it compared to GPS system. And stop mentioning jokes as answers again.
    2
  1851. I guess now we've gotten evidence as to "how can people not believe the nuke to be true and why a second bomb would be necessary"? Even though japanese were more on the side "US can't produce another one for several years" and not that they're impossible. However the fact that this is spread NOT as a joke by modern day public is a good example of how few people back then would have found it believable. As for why such a belief might have spread - I have a feeling that it's connected to more people witnessing photos of Tokyo firestorm and what conventional bombs did en masse.

  1852. Can somebody help me, please? So... where's the irony?0_o He said that he(normal untrained civilian) can't be trusted with a gun and then it turned up to be true(because he lacked training to prevent it), no? Like where is the contradiction? The memes are about contradiction, but I can't find it. It's more like he exactly shot a guy to prove his point.

  1853.  @lairdcummings9092  1)Brandon should have mentioned it, I legit thought we talked about AR; 2)it opens a whole new can of worms here as in this case you can actually inspect the ammo easily.

  1855.  @shaundenehy4681  that's not irony, that's just stupidity and incompetence. The memes however called this incident completely copying his own comment on gun safety and danger of untrained individuals an ironic contradiction. But there isn't contradiction. He literary attempted to sacrifice two souls to prove his point:D

Greedfall and Steel Rising are AAA games, but Spiders didn't change. No, screw them.

  1857. I salute the training regiment and mental endurance of british sailors... because I would have one day just "forgot" to disable starboard AA gun. No, instances when such posturing gets punished happen a lot. Not, usually the side that provoked the situation is the one apologizing even if they talk crap on their TV. No, I'm simply surprised russians still think that it's a good idea that in no way damages their reputation as professional military force... oh, wait, right.

Quaritch is... idk if pitiful is the right word, but TVTropes has that page called Anviliscious or something like that about an obvious and basic point being spread too hard over huge surface and as a result becoming so thin that you can see through it and lose any immersion left. People like Quaritch not for whom he is, but simply to give Cameron a middle finger for insulting audience. But I guess it is to be expected that a LOT of people liked to be called bad boys and steppped upon, after all OnlyFans is a thing too ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ ...hmm, now I wonder what's its gross value compared to Avatar IP and which one is more cost effective in that regard then?:D

But feel free to prove me wrong with uplifting counter example. I'm starving for good news...

  1879. Tbh I would vote for Beretta as secondary gun and whatever local police is using with extra barrel thread as primary.

  1880. Sorry for saying it this way, but I'm glad that people are starting to see enforcers as what they really are. Yes, as someone born in USSR I am biased against them. But I haven't yet found a proof of said bias being wrong anywhere in the world \/(-_-)\/

  1883.  @calessel3139  makes sense. Though that opens up another potential can of worms. But yeah, I guess the problem then indeed was in inexperienced crews(after all Normandy was sort of a "safe space" for training and rest) combined with lack of proper infantry support(though here I am not sure how easy it was for Panther commander to communicate to infantry outside the tank).

  1884. Note to novice sci-fi/space opera writers: Just grab this thing, mix it with Tu-160 and call it a fighter. Yes, a craft with 76mm autoloader in a turret, 36+ tons of missile/bomb load and crew of like a dozen people would be a fighter.

  1887. ​ @vic5015  the problem is that when people joke that Russia doesn't care about losses is that... Russia doesn't care about losses. It's like they're not realising what they're saying themselves is true even if they fully believe it is and it in fact is. Ukraine can HOLD only with constant support, but instead we see Ukraine try to reclaim the lost territories without any resources to do so while isolationist-populists all over the world use situation and try to get to power by false claims, going as far as suggesting to abolish NATO, IMF, UN and any other organisation and throw the world into Great Depression 2.0 or outright WW3 as global trade will cease and all treaties and guarantees would become void, including nuclear ones. In such background Russia can lose half a million, a million or even 5 millions. They don't care that they're losing resources and men, that they will gain nothing. The only thing they always cared for is to prevent existence of Ukraine. Because Russia survives solely on claimed monopoly on russian language, culture, religion and so on. Primarily russian speaking Ukraine was a grave danger to that by giving an example of russian people(and I don't talk about people, who view themselves as ukranians or are ukranians, I talk about people, who view themselves as russians, but still supported Ukraine over Russia, no matter where they lived) surviving and even thriving WITHOUT Putin, Kremlin, Russia, authoritarian rule and all that crap. Kremlin needs a myth that "authoritarian rule is natural for russian people" to continue existing. So they will not accept any evidence to the contrary. Resources, territories, population, buffer zones, missile flight times, NATO bases and so on, NONE of it mattered. The only thing they wanted is to prevent formation of proof of different path. And sadly they achieved that... And yes, they don't care about losses.

  1889. There's 120k 6 figure salary and then there's 450k 6 figure salary. Only one allows to lose 300+ million in 8 years at 160 people peak. And there's no way they got paid so much as the dev that called customers "talentless freaks" had admitted that for many(including them) it was the first AAA project. So the team was already made up by "cheapos". I suspect NFT or some other scam involvement.

  1890.  @ComradeArthur  it was horrifyingly cheap to produce. Among actually effective MGs only DP-28 was cheaper and not by much, while being set back by lack of belt, hard to change barrel and other quirks. That's the difference between stamped and milled guns.

    2
  1898. Yes... and no. You see, the problem is that eventually somewhere, somehow that laser would blind or even cook an enwmy combatant, friendly personnel or worse, civilian. And here comes the problem - that's f//cking illegal. Use of laser in context of blinding weapons is banned by several treaties just like chemical weapons are. Mostly by US and Russia. Though that doesn't stop Israel and China from planning to roll them out😅
    2
  1899. Mind you, it's a civilian geology prospector team, that lost their communications ship and thought that they were being attacked. So they use drill drones and mining charges to defend themselves while they try to contact higher up for evacuation. Since they're lost, the next one whom will show up would be cops to ask questions... so there always remains possibility of sequel, except it would need a very good script unless it want to turn into Independence Day 2 situation.

I'd say it was quite effective up until 1942 and the bigger problem was the planes it was mounted upon at first.

  1924.  @PumpkinEater-dm1xx  "Recomissioning the battleship was pointless" Against Kirov? No, it was still a morale boost since everybody knew no one will actually fight, but it was a nice show off. Against countries that can't fight back like Iraq for example? Man, those battleships were just flexing on anything in the reach of their guns nonstop. It was cheaper and faster to respond then airstirkes and cruise missiles so those guns were firing a lot.

  1925. The fact that this comment is entirely true makes me a bit sad. No offense, just that nowadays Lithuania is much closer culturaly to you then to Belarus and Poland. I guess we really did let them down on too many occasions:(

  1929. How much does 10 billion gold coin even weight? Let's say 30 grams, okay? So 10b would be around 300000 metric tons of gold. That's double the amount of gold mined through entire human history! And we're talking about 300 billion grams at price of 61$ per gram. 18,3 quadrillion(though let's be real, at that amount gold would cost no more then 1$. And that's with just these 3 players). At this point they should just allow players to beat up all monster with a bag of gold. Imagine being slapped with 300 thousand metric tons? Tl;dr this game has no economy with such inflation.

Was it a good idea from technological and military PoV that was put into early grave only due to political, economical and logistical reasons? Or was it a wrong direction, considering with what we see developed nowadays in USA where people seek to replace .308 with more powerful rifle round for sharpshooter rifles, battle rifles and medium machine guns?

  1941. Mind you, Bradley haven't yet fully replaced M113. There are barely any vehicles on Bradley platform not to mention ones on its units ie engine, transmission, suspension. So US army is replacing a vehicle it had barely used. Again. Rather then looking for new IFV, they should saturate the roles still filled with M113 derivatives with Bradley derivatives. US army has two platforms it is afraid to use. First is Bradley, second is Abrams. They want heavier IFV then Bradley? Go restore one of those M1 hulls and strap it with autocannon and ATGMs.

  1944.  @ivanmonahhov2314  угу, а Т-54 значит окопы ковырять не может? Ну, а немецкие 88мм тогда вообще на танках случайно оказались? Ну, а про бесполезность "дивизионной" ЗиС-3 тогда и вообще поднимать тему не стоит.:)) А-19 оказалась на ИС-2 только по одной причине - бронепробитие. Ее туда установили из-за трофейного Ферлинанда, дульной тормоз которого кстати был поначалу скопирован. Никто не знал, что Фердинанд будет единичной машиной. Поэтому вставили самое мощное из имевшегося. В отличии от попытки повторить на ИС-3, сработало.
    2
  1945.  @ivanmonahhov2314  1)для поражения огневой точки хватает и 30мм гранаты из АГЛ. 76мм справляется со всем, что крупнее за глаза. Единственное где нужен более крупный калибр это фугасный рубеж 150+мм - он позволяет полностью снести кирпичное здание в 3-5 этажей(привет всем городам, которые встретили ИСУ-152). За это платят габаритами орудия и унизительно маленьким боезапасом. Настолько маленьким, что даже не смешно. 76мм был старый калибр и его использовали "по привычке" ввиду наличия запаса боеприпасов. А отказ от него еще более банален - разрывы 76мм не видны уже на 4км, то есть корректировка была не возможна. Это еще при Тухаче поняли и поэтому разработали 85мм и 95мм дивизионки, настоящие. Но т.к. Тухача и Ко надо было обвинить во всем и вся, а запасы 76мм куда-то девать, то нате вам ЗиС-3. Первая настоящая дивизионка кстати была создана французами по заказу российской императорской армии, эта та самая 105-107мм пушка Шнайдера. Двадцать лет вперед, два шага назад. 2)не была. Бронебойный для 100мм разрабатывали очень долго, она банально не была готова на момент создания ИС-2. А по пробития догнала лишь на послевоенных бронебойных. У нее кстати заряжание цельное, ее труднее уместить в погон башни, чем А-19 с раздельным заряжанием. Но за это у А-19 скорострельность гораздо ниже. 3)угу, при этом ИС-3 не получил ни дальномера(разработали два, ни один не дали), ни дульного эвакуатора, ни избавился от дульного тормоза(привет демаскирующее облако пыли и проблемы с "раскрытием" ранних ломов), ни более современные боеприпасы в боекомплект(СУ-122-54 и Т-10Б использовали ту же А-19 в виде Д-49 и Д-25ТС/ТУ, у них были ломы и современные кумулятивы. А из-за раздельного заряжания можно и невращающийся кумыс с Т-10М зарядить). Но ничего из этого не сделали. Израильтяне захваченные ИС-3 посчитали хламом, поставили на надолбы и отстреляли боекомплект(а вот Т-55 использовали долго), а сами советы одновременно с "устранением дефектов"(надо было сразу на переплавку отправить) ИС-3, возродили и даже форсировали программу ИС-5(будущего Т-10 после кучи переименований), чтобы поскорее заменить убожество коим был ИС-3. Итог: фалометрия 120мм и выше ничего за собой не имеет. Пробитие зависит от материала, структуры и ДЛИНЫ лома и его кинетической энергии, то есть в основном скорости т.к. лом ты толще делать не будешь из-за повышенного сопротивления и воздуха, и среды брони. Фугасов и так за глаза хватает, а ПТУРы из ствола можно пускать и на меньшем калибре, да только ирл их никто особо и не стал по итогу использовать. А за все это платишь насилованием габаритов танка и малюсеньким боезапасом. Все эти разговоры про 130, 140, 152 мм дилдари не более, чем глупости и распил. Калибр останется 120-122мм, будет расти скорость. В идеале будет возвращение к 100-105мм орудиям после перехода к электротермохимическим зарядам и телескопическому размещению дротиков, ради повышения возимого боекомплекта.

  1946. ​ @tetraxis3011  Ukraine is a nuclear power with many active nuclear power stations that make up serious part of their power grid. They support those by their own efforts. They agreed not to develop their own nukes too, but they could. Or are you claiming that North Korea is an example of massive prosperous economy? Are you? P.S.: to use a nuke you don't need a launch code. Launch code is needed for ICBMs. Nuke is a warhead that is removable from it and which can be used by gravity bomb on a plane(Ukraine also had to give up strategic bomber aircraft), transported by a truck or even used as a mine. Or put into different missile since Ukraine is producing orbital launch vehicles.

  1951. "14.5x114 that's like similar to .50 cal" Was that a joke, bait or trolling? 14.5x114mm > 12.7x99mm It's "like loading 23mm autocannon with sabot rounds"(because that's how russian 23mm ammo was created, by taking the case of 14.5*114). For f//cks sake, that thing was making holes in side of Panther tank and swiss cheesing Pz.3 and 4. With nowadays ammo it easily go far beyond said 45-50mm of RHA pen equivalent. It's NOTHING like .50 cal, sorry. It's literally as far as you can go with HMG before it turns into autocannon(technically due to historical and national differences in classification, both 15mm autocannons and 20mm HMGs existed and naming depended on the type of shot, HMG for solid, autocannon for HE shells).
    2
  1952. Nope, it doesn't. It is successfully doing it's job, pushing said image. That's how propaganda works. And a massive bonus of fat paycheck for good work on top. Not to mention that unhuman view and desire to destroy slavs by causing millions of casualties had never gone away.

  1953. "Most advance ship in the universe" Yeah, sure, most advanced civilian scouting ship in universe crewed by a bunch geologists sent on peacefully mission and stuck fighting for their lives against armed locals, who shot down their communication ship after calling them under peacefully pretext. Here's their PoV as they have no idea what happened to second ship, they're clearly not equipped or trained for combat and their equipment literary is suited for digging rock(demolition charges and drilling drones).

  1955.  @basketcase1235  can't say for vaccines, but 99% of "flat Earthers" even irl are shitposters and trolls, who know what they're doing. They just want to have attention and fun. Vaccines is harder since I don't see the point of fun plus not every country in the world is equal in that regard. Russia is straight up testing vaccine on older population by claiming that untested vaccine is ready for mass vaccination. Just so that they can sell it abroad when the problems and quirks are ironed out. How many "peasants" will die to untested medication is not their problem. None of their politicians and oligarchs is going to use native vaccine either. So will you be pro or anti if you had been in Russia?;)

  1956.  @basketcase1235  I'm not even 30, pretty much had PC all my life and yet I wouldn't call 90's a "stone-age information era". Check your own bookshelves you inherited from your family or local library. And you'd find more info then what you'd find on wikipedia. Wikipedia isn't somehow writing itself, it's another guy that was just those 2% more active then you in your life, who had taken a book and typed it in. That's all. Internet is made by lowest common denominator, there is no "international agency of article filling". Want that article? Get up!

  1957.  @razter6678  funnily enough the setup is also interesting and can be explored in sequel(which won't have anything to do with grids though so probably it won't be made). Why do aliens have such ineffective guns and why do they stop firing when ships turn away? Because aliens are prospecting team of geologists, who use remote charges and drill drones as weapons to buy themselves time to contact their local equivalent of coastal guard for help because they think that locals shot down their communication ship after sending a message themselves. Humans think that they're in Independence Day, aliens think they're in Zulu...

  1963.  @RedboRF  she won't be able to win WWII without nukes though. She can decimate capital ships of Kriegamarine and IJN, but she will eventually run out of ammo. None of calibers used by Kirov were produced during WWII. She can never run out of fuel, she can outrun any WWII ship, she can operate freely in night and track enemy ships, planes and submarines tens if not hundreds of kilometers away from her. However she becomes a scout ship of Allies, she has nothing to attack with. That's her difference compared to scenario of american nuclear supercarrier ending up in WWII - planes still can be refueled and drop bombs of the era. Kirov can't attack once she's out of missiles and shells. Hence the need to use nukes to scare Axis shitless.
    2
  1964.  @edilbertorivera3467  reload with WHAT? Kirov's ammunition isn't produced in WWII:D You can't replenish even its cannon ammunitions, not to mention missiles. And without missiles it loses the ranged superiority. That's why an american aircraft carrier can continue operating against IJN since you only need bombs and fuel, but Kirov is left only with the role of mobile communications center.
    2
  1965.  @oletoustrup-andersen9105  Kirov's missiles were different from soft plastic cones of argentinian Exocet. They were specifically required to counter ANY capital ship of USN. That includes both carriers of several generations AND missile Iowa's retrofitted and put back into action when Kirov entered service. Or is Iowa too "sof skinned" on scale of WWII battleships in your opinion?:D
    2
  1966.  @edilbertorivera3467  if you drop modern Russian Federation into USSR, Japan would be the least of your trouble. Second Russian Civil War will be;) No, the topic was just one ship. Kirov doesn't exactly have much "backwards" compatibility with that era. It'll be able to see and hear and awfull lot around her though plus the only vessel capable of operating without any trouble in night or bad weather.

  1967. 1)ветеранов очень мало и у них как раз пенсия неплохая(в основном потому, что их мало и их надо беречь для парадов). В итоге их поддерживают в живом состоянии чуть ли не искусственно, а паразитирующие с этого статуса наследники не редкость. Партизаны, выжившие и герои труда такими почестями не награждаются. 2)для насыщения рядов зрителей стали использовать "детей войны", детей ветеранов, ветеранов других войн(при этом про афганцев они пока не вспомнили и за людей все ещё не считают) и вообще левых "держателей значков".

  1968. ​ @stephengrinkley9889 sounded crazy enough to do a full loop into being believable, had to look it up. Well, it's true on technicality as indeed HIMARS is used as a launcher, but it's likely a pneumatic piston in the tube just throwing those into the crowd. And I'm not sure that having a face full of candy is safe either 😅 Plus it reeks of russian military equipment fetishism towards younger generation, even if far more innocent :(

  1969. I guess it would have been good to make a stop in (either) Taiwan and/or Hong Kong if there will be enough people buying the book there.

  1970. Brandon, a weird question on topic of "fake" 12.7mm rounds like Beowulf. What do you think of subsonic ammo like 12.7x55mm for ASh-12 and of explosive ammo like 13x64mm for point defense guns like MG-131? In both cases it saved up A LOT on gun weight in cases where they weren't expected to shoot accurately(or rather at all) past 200m. Or rather what is your opinion on a combination of the two?;) "Hey, comrade, have you heard where we were shot from?" "No idea." "Have you seen anything?" "I've seen upper torso of Nikolai disappear in an explosion."

  1971.  Ali  they could have spent money creating international corporations or buying their way into control of them. And some of them did that in case of IT companies. Apparently not the wealthiest people there, but some did. Diversifying assets would have helped them greatly. They could have still jumped on Google train, they could have funded Tesla and SpaceX. Heck, they could have even just comissioned cargo ships and profited over the years(not now though). But the main point was to invest heaily into chemical industry and research instead of making russian mistake of only selling oil and not processed goods from it.

  1972. Moral of the story - don't work for Sony. I don't recall anybody saying Concord was buggy or unfinished, just that it was unnecessary and that 40$ on top had killed it. We've seen them try to kill Helldivers 2 with PSN and then remove Ghost of Tsushima from Steam for majority of the world alongside Helldivers as petty revenge. Best of all to devs, but not to Sony and upper management.

  1973.  @ceramicdoorway6048  in which year was 5.56 adopted? How many years was NATO without proper assault rifle simply because someone's lobby had chosen a round fit for marksman rifle as main rifle round for infantry? The only person delusional here is you, you've already made 2 jumps away from the theme just to look for argumets. It was YOU, who brought up EM-2 and it was YOU, who brought up .223. What will you bring next, I wonder?
    2
  1974. Not unless NATO stops shaking over Ukraine having to shoot those over territory of Belarus and Russia. If Ukraine will be threatened with cutting supplies over that issue, there's no point as instead of intercepting munitions and their carriers at wide time window of opportunity, Ukraine would be forced for those bombers to cross the border. Again. -_-
    2
  1975. Weird observation. Ian and Karl talk about how red dots nowadays basically have no downsides, some times they talk about iron sights. They never talk about laser sights. At all. Have red dots killed them? Are laser sights the "blimps" of quick aim systems, left behind on the roadside by progressing tech?
    2
  1976. I would suggest RAF raids on Berlin during the peak of Battle of Britain as better example. Germans were a month, maybe two away from completely breaking RAF's spine, but after the raid they recalled some forces back for interception to keep an image as well as switched to bombing even more indiscriminately thus lowering the strain on airfields and factories. This was one of the factors why they couldn't win in Battle of Britain and probably the day Germany consciously chose to lose the WWII ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

  1982. No, NATO can't survive without US. Why? Because EU and all other NATO members would not need to pursue US policy if US exits its own organisation. If US leaves, EU has much more to gain from cooperation with Russia, as cynical as it sounds. NATO benefitted US, not EU. It would be a massive shift in policy, but eurasian states have to focus on Eurasia, not US and its wishes ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Russia wanted to fully switch to select fire AVS-36 and later on semiauto SVT-38, but it's kind of hard when your factories are on trains running to Siberia and your population is rounded up to be locked in a barn and set on fire. I doubt Garand had a "german threat to survival" factor to consider when setting up the production.
    2
  1986.  @cptant7610  not exactly. Tanks arrived earlier, they've catched cavalry on the retreat back to polish lines after the battle when they were mounted and thus weren't expecting someone to catch up to them and couldn't use AT rifles. They were mowed down by MGs. Reporters arrived even later.

  1992. ​ @nirfz  whille some aspects of his story are strange, that part is a bit believable as there are many military bases around the world that are "spread out" in their placement and thus have to use parts of civilian infrastructure(especially widespread in regards to artillery shooting ranges or when the base has civilian highway it counts as emergency airfield).
    2
  1993. Yep, without armor and weapons it will probably shine once again. IF they don't duck it up for some other reason like always. Though one can make an argument about pressing "lightened" JailTV into same roles as it'll standardize the production and will have more mass reserve?

  1995.  @Myrth1  1)stripper clips aren't slow. They were used to top off magazine fed battle rifle well after WWII; 2)magazines are costly. And for it to be effective you need to have several per soldier ie more then 3 at LEAST. And two others soldiers reloading them while main one fires?; 3)Fedorov Avtomat and Chauchat were greatly held back by how easy to damage and unreliable their magazines were; 4)magazines for full powered rifles are massive. And since you need several of them, you basically end up with number two as your ammunition carrier; 5)If you invest so much and dedicate several people to keeping the magazines supplied, you basically get WWI-WWII LMG doctrine anyway. It can be somewhat mitigated by soldiers working in pairs and helping each other, but rifles like General Liu rigle or Garand were just easier for some time.

  1999. So, FN had taken same feedback on BAR you mentioned in Project Lightening, BUT made a good gun instead of making BAR in WWII worse then WWI version? That interesting. So, so far I see two firing modes instead of just plain lowering ROF, I see lighter bipod, I assume a barrel of variable thickness. So when US had taken feedback from people that wanted either LMG or battle rifle out of the BAR, combined it into one and produced a gun with characteristics of neither, FN produced both in one package?

  2006.  @looinrims  122mm D-25 is using separate loading, 100mm D-10 is using single piece loading. Single piece loading allows to load faster, BUT results in far longer case that needs more internal space and wider turret ring(in ideal conditions).

  2007. What is this bs title? 343 didn't ruin Halo, Microsoft did. By demanding sequels after 3 and Reach. They wanted to milk Halo forever. However Halo was IP about ONE war and ONE soldier. Every new novel and comic made it less consistent. And then when Microsoft demanded more, 343 just followed the order as it's made to do. From what I heard nobody argued that 343 was bad at developing gameplay. However they were forced to milk a cow that died at peace from old age 🤣

  2009. Great, the weekly "ukranian SAM did it" story from russian propaganda. And once again, people fail to realize that: 1)SAM is not a cruise missile, it has warhead designed for fragmentation with prefabricated strike elements arranged in several rings; 2)SAM is not a cruise missile, it has a fast high burn engine designed to provide maximum velocity and paying for that with very short burn time; 3)SAM is not a cruise missile, it has aerodynamics of a telephone pole with minimal drag to help it get to the target as fast as possible and thus it also has zero capability to glide. Your weekly dose of laws of physics and basic logic was provided by some guy on the internet, who apparently has to explain school level basics to you. Have a nice day.

Seriously?:D Let's face it, eventually Russia will give up on that vanity project it has no specialists to support and will just buy export version of chinese J-20A. Unless they'd want to drop the 5th gen capability entirely. That's two options. There's also a third in which Russia becomes democracy, fights corruption, builds economy and fights against Putin's rot in educational system to eventually in several decades time regain capability to produce and maintain such fighters themselves in serious manner. But that's just fantasy, just like if aliens arrived and did it all themselves for russians, lol;)

P.S.: was there ever an intermediate version of M60? I heard that between modernized(ie newest variants in service) M60 and M240, the latter is better suited as full power GPMG, while former is (somehow) better suited for rapid movement. So wouldn't it be better that instead of M249 there existed a, well, let's call it M69 or something?

  2028. Maybe by 2300... We have a lot of fascinating tech, but until the minimal wage around the globe is the same as in say Switzerland, such things would remain rare and expensive. For majority, I mean. It'll likely cost less then 1000$ if they're going to the market with it so if you're in US, EU, Japan or some other place like that, you'd be able to afford it. The device itself would be pretty simple btw.

Until UK, Germany, France and Sweden don't agree on producing one tank on their plants and until all NATO members have agreed that default military budget should be 5% of GDP, there is no "perfect", "best" or even "good" tank for NATO members.

  2045. Here's the weird thing, I'm probably the only person, who dislikes P90 BECAUSE of Stargate. Team switching to P90 over M4(except Carter, who used M4 as sane person) during "upgunning" phase felt like the weirdest move and comparing apples to planetoids during "weapon of war" speech just felt comical. Yes, PDW/SMG is definitely a great analogue to antimateriel/recoilless rifle, that's why we also compare M9 pistol to M68 tank gun😂 A pity that there wasn't a Goa'uld made PDW/sidearm that those Jaffa rebels were already trained to use... /cough/ Zat, it's bloody Zat /cough/ You want weapon of war? Give those Jaffa AKM or FAL😅 P.S.: 5.7xwhatevershorty cartridge of P90 has better penetration compared ONLY to 9mm and other pistol cartridges. It's toothless compared to 5.56x45 or 5.45x39.

Fleet based chapters would have at least half a million chapter serfs in their employ solely to man all the ships.

Our own fracking drives Mideast oil to its knees far more than any invasions can dream of, and our strategic" Reread my comment. Above all else it was a demonstration of power to WHOLE Middle East and a favor to local allies there, who want to leave a clear message about whom is the top dog in the region. And ME as a whole outproduces you as well as helps to control the market by being the "third leg".

  2060.  @resonantdave  problem of French Revolution is that it was so bloody, was so villainized in propaganda and brought Napoleon in power so unexpectedly so that it basically stopped many other revolutions because people preferred to continue to suffer under authoritarian feudal slave states rather then risk it. Good example is Russian Empire in 1830-1917 ie "lost century".

  2062. If you google it, you'll find out that in 70's USSR produced towed versions of same 125mm guns used on T-64 and T-72. They were configured as antitank guns(low profile, optional shield, full rotation), but they are universal guns thanks to their caliber. Technically they are still on balance in reserve. Don't know about NATO though, it usually was more concentrated on offensive.
    2
  2063.  @ML-fc3je  here is the thing - barrel launched ATGMs exist. You can literary take some WWII gun of matching caliber and equip them with modern optics and ballistic computer and fire those. Good example would be soviet(again) BS-3 100mm gun can theoretically use 100mm barrel launched ATGMs with tandem non-rotating HEAT. If you want to be specific that is. Or you can redrill D-25 of IS-2 to 125mm instead of it's 122mm(groove depth is around 2mm), you can also use modern non-kinetic chemical munitions to some effect.

  2072. Dreyse Rifle? Stg-44 didn't win any wars by itself. Because war changed so much that no weapon can do it(even nukes arguably). But Dreyse did. Yeah, technically it did in completely different world. The next jump was Maxim/Madsen/Colt that helped WWI get stuck in the mud and thus allowed it to turn into a war of artillery. American Civil War/Crimean War is a weird case where a LOT of new tech appeared, but all the sides involved were too poor to mass produce any of it so the impact of new tech was on scale of statistical error. Plus they happened right BEFORE dynamite hit the market... Speaking of which, dynamite and later on smokeless powder were next revolutions. The latter one allowed existence of automatic firearms. Though the first prototype of Maxim apparently was designed to run on black powder. Would be cool to see if it's true and automatic gun on black powder is indeed possible without choking on its own grime.

So which one do you prefer - that they never need maintenance or that Jaffa aren't actually dumb slaves, who think that their equipment works by magic and instead they themselves are free people in feudal/caste system, who're more akin to samurai ie sworn servants and some of them like Tealc are actually supposed to be very rich and powerfully and be closer to knights with thousands of their own human serfs and slaves? I actually prefer middle ground of both being true;) There isn't FN factory in sight that is going to supply those P90's either\/(-_-)\/

He could have made a belt feed adapter for DP-28 just like Shpagin did for his(Degtyarov's) DK turning it into renowned DShK(deserving or not is different question), but instead he chased new medal for new gun aka DS-39. Which wasn't ready neither for adoption, nor for mass production. Imagine if soviet troops had RP-46 in 1941? Gunner being able to use drums on the move and switch to belt feed when he gets into position and assistant gunner with adapter and belts catches up?

And I wasn't talking about it, I was talking specifically about MT-12. Ranging rifles/MGs were used on any equipment where reloading was potentilly too long after you gave out your position so you needed to make sure before you unload. The most famous usage of ranging MG was on Chieftain. Several soviet tanks also had coaxial that was matching ballistics of main gun at close ranges for same purpose. And that's before we start talking about "training rifles" that are mounted over the gun for, obviously from name, training gun crews.

Savage Hulk is basically a child version of Banner that strikes against all abuse and doesn't want to strike first while Joe Fixit aka Grey Hulk is more of a guy, who just likes the power and to use it for his own benefit while also not being evil. In current iteration only evil Hulk is Baner himself being in control of Hulk body because he operates differently then Hulks, he tries to justify his own actions to himself.

  2101. It's more about US not caring much about army in comparison to air force and navy. If it was really all about Browning's genius, they would have accepted HiPower asap, don't you think?;) Just look at M2 and how many HMGs have soviets gone through during that time and each one was an actual improvement over the others. Nowadays you can have 20mm autocannon in dimensions and weight of M2, but US army would still use M2 until at least 2500. Because who needs modern equipment, am I right? Just think of how we ended up with M14 instead of better guns with intermediate ammo and how AR-15 was literary sabotaged on every corner by the army for almost a decade in an attempt to smear mud onto intermediate firearms. Who knows what would have happened if AK hadn't existed as an example one can point at every time someone said "nah, cartridges smaller then .308 are dumb".

  2102.  @Whaley96  T-80 was always given to more skilled crews with higher ranks. T-80 crew would load ONLY autoloader and not a shell more. And if ordered to overload tank with ammo, they'll lie and throw the spares into the bush. Meanwhile T-72 crew would just accept their fate and not ensure their survival.

  2104. That depends on when and who was Allies member at the time. 1939? 1940? 1941? 1942 and onwards? There are a lot of factors here that change... though answer in all cases is Allies:D

  2105. The issue is that after reveal of J-32(I'm not going to call it J-35), all that is inconsequential. PRC will take both the export market AND russian market for stealth strike fighters. There is no way Su-57 would be able to match economy of scale of J-32 no matter how little Russia will pay workers and as such, J-32 would be a more economic option to Russia. Unless Russia wants to publicly worsen relation with China by positioning Su-57 as a counterpart to J-20 and J-32 for itself, India(and maybe Iran, depending if their relationship with Pakistan would get even worse). And even then we still run into the questions of cost... and quality(context - China stopped purchasing russian aircraft engines in several stages in 2014-2018 period citing low quality as a reason).

  2123. I can't get over the feeling that USSR should have gone "the french way" aka MAS-36 and follow ups program. Just throw away Mosin and design GOOD bolt action CARBINE that is simple and cheap compared to OTHER bolt actions(which Mosin wasn't. Miss in all 3 categories), then start producing semiauto ALONGSIDE it. The same way as they did with PTRD/PTRS - first was easy to produce, second was more complicated. Or british STEN. You produce "last ditch" guns first, then switch to nicer ones when the hunger is over. History had shown that last ditch doesn't work as last ditch because by then you've already lost several years before.

Still waiting to see that laser return mirror on the end of the barrel on the same spot as that plate for beer that is needed to calculate barrel bend because modern fire control systems are precised enough to take it into account. Something that NATO had in widespread use... and Russia has on like 30 T-90M's made since 2016. Meanwhile NATO tanks sent to Ukraine are all going to have that one and that's not considered something special. Ukraine has an excuse of being invaded and in a state of war to much bigger country for the last 8 years. What's your excuse, tankies? Chinese fixed transmissions, chinese fixed fire control systems, chinese produced their own thermals and GPS(well, not GPS per say, but local pseudoequivalent to what GPS was a decade or so ago). What's your excuse if in your bravado you place yourself about US, PRC and EU? The truth is that in the past year Russia had shown itself to be a minor power compared to Brazil, Turkey, Egypt and Iran. Both in independent economic capabilities and self sufficiency of your technological sector. I for one welcome our egyptian overlords. You're ridiculed by merit of your own claimed merits and promises. So far your perfomance doesn't match your resume. And it's not just Ukraine, Belarus, russian population and NATO, who noticed that.

Jokes about knives aside, when people mention that people in Europe don't need guns(without asking us if we agree btw. History would have been a bit different if 2nd amendment existed in countries that border Russia, France, Russia, Germany, Russia, Austria and Russia), they don't mention that police is also far less armed. In case of UK they're disarmed. So make government legislations work for both police and citizens. Make SWAT teams in California use only state compliant guns and fully disarm cops in NYC!🤣

The other thing would be higher focus on supporting popularion itself(farmers, labour unions, small business owners) and fighting tax evasion(if you pay your taxes in Ireland, do you need to make profit in US?). No country in the world have all the policies that people strive to and none of the ones that hurt it. It's a constant battle for adaptability to conditions and time.

  2160. Liam Baynon don't embarass yourself with such statements. It was only the first who coined the term "assault rifle"... which is basically a translation of it's name. Claiming that it was first AR though is like claiming that Colt invented the revolver. There were dozens if not hundreds of prototypes of similar weapons, some of which were even mass produced and saw limited service. Such terms like "battle rifle", "PDW" and some others were born because of difficulty at classyfiying those. Two most famous examples are BAR(machine rifle/LMG/SAW/automatic rifle/battle rifle) and Fyodorov Avtomat(LMG/SAW/automatic rifle/battle rifle/avtomat) which were both mass produced and used by military. And while BAR used full sized .30-06 rifle round, 6.5x50 Arisaka round used by FA actually has the same bullet mass, power and velocity as some cartridges that classify as intermediate, specifically czech 7.62x45 vz.52. If you want to find first assault rifle ever, you're searching time period of wrong World War:P

  2161. Houston Snelbaker WWII ended in september of 1945, T-55 have entered production only in 1956! It was T-44 that was ready by the end of 1944 and saw some limited production in 1945 without being used in combat. And it would have made no difference as it had the same gun as T-34-85. T-44-100 prototype that later resulted in first T-54 model is late 1945, long after german surrender. Go get some sleep and return when you're sober.

There is no point in replacing them if you don't replace MBTs they were designed to work together with! So trashing Bradley before Abrams is just dumb. The only reason they do it is because they want to switch to 50mm autocannon en masse and Bradley can't use it(which is a lie, you just need light tank on Bradley components. Ie M8)

People wanting to live despite living in an era long before antibiotics. River Gang is(or rather was) one of the few naturally occuring habitats for bacteriophage colonies ie viruses that specifically hunt and kill bacteria. They weren't known in the west for a few generations, but finally after collapse of USSR Poland and several other former Warsaw Pact member had finally translated the century of research data to anglophiles:D Nowadays they are used in cases when bacteria in question have high tolerance to antibiotics or immunity to most common antibiotics. In case of antibiotics collapse(ie most common bacteria in the wild get immune to all available forms of antibiotics due to their overuse in animal farming by corporations) they are your best hope. Problem is that they're slow to grow and also need to be specialized to work at their best. Which combined means that almost nobody has a ready supply of them. Except Russia. Part of soviet legacy is to keep a ready bank of those for most common bacterial diseases in case of disaster. Poland probably had one as well, but idk if they kept it going.

  2196. ​ @АлександрШершнёв-р6с  классный байт. А теперь посмотрим китайское сравнение J-20C и заявленных характеристик Су-57. Не напомните почему китайцы не захотели спонсировать этот проект, а своими силами разработали свой самолет, который кстати массово выпускают? Не напомните почему индусы тоже отказались его спонсировать? Или почему в 2018-ом КНР сказал "в п..зду" импорту российских авиадвигателей, а РФ еще в 90-х списала все однодвигательные самолеты, а? Good bait. Now let's face the reality. What did China say when asked about Su-57 in comparison to J-20C? Or why it said no when asked to sponsor Su-57 programm and instead put its money into domestic plane that it can produce in sensible numbers? Remind me why India also refused to sponsor Su-57? Or why China stopped importing any aircraft engines from Russia in 2018 or why Russia retired all single engine military jet aircraft in the 90's, eh?

А может когда КГБшники пришли к Челомею, чтобы сломать макет ЛКС и сжечь документацию это достижение? Нет, секрет был не в немцах. Секрет был в Королеве, совете главных конструкторов, Хрущеве, который их слушал и в "оттепели". Секрет очень прост, НО ни одному троносидельцу после Хрущева отчего-то недоступен. Надо отдать сверху приказ сделать красиво и зажать гайки в 100500-й раз, авось на этот раз сработает?🤣🤡

  2198.  @АлександрШершнёв-р6с  пруф в студию, что они выходят хуже оригинала. Вашими же методами и на Су-57 внезапно стоит переименованный АЛ-31. Только циферку поменяли:)) И вот что интересно, а китайцы таки заявляют, что WS-10 был создан, чтобы отказаться от оных АЛ-31. Не как копия, а как дескать своя разработка для замены. Совсем. Вплоть до замены двигателей на самолетах в эксплуатации. С чего бы это?
    2
  2199.  @АлександрШершнёв-р6с  По каким параметрам уступает? Единственный вариант АЛ-31, которому уступает WS-10 по заявленным ТТХ это 41Ф, штучный экземпляр большего диаметра из 90-х. Вот он давал 175+кН. По китайским же заявлениям последние версии WS-10 выдают почти на десяток больше последних АЛ-41Фчтототамещевиндексенонифигаэтоне41Ф - 155кН(15800кгс) у китайца против 147кН(15000кгс) у Алеши с Су-57... вернее у заявленного перспективного Алеши против летающего массового китайца. И как бы в тех же габаритах. WS-10 разработан для замены АЛ-31 в тех же габаритах. Все. Конец официальной информации. У вас другие источники? А какие? Сколько там от него осталось, знают лишь китайцы. Судя по их заявлениям - ничего поверх общности схожих двигателей, но такими темпами можно родословную и до J79 "доказать". А может так оно и есть, а?;)

  2202.  @ChillDudelD  nice of you to mention Adam Mickiewicz works. Into what language had Dunin-Martienkiewicz translated Dziady? Nonexistant one?:D Poland was never a largest piece of Commonwelath(look at map before unification and at town names after. Famous polish city of Brest Litovsk) no matter how many times poles and russians claimed that belarusian populace in censuses speaked their language by ignoring the difference between modern and historical lithuanian. Neither was this culture and language suddenly appearing out of nowhere. And yes, send my regards to german census from early 20th century too since germans apparently learned to tell slavs apart now. When btw? To all the commenters above, who had already partitioned us between Poland whom "lost it's historical lands" and Russia whom "was robbed of its lands by commies", I say one thing - eat a dick. Or cut the middle man and eat each others dick as much as you want. Border stays where it is unless you want to return more:P

However the plan is to advertise in to New Delhi so they'd bankroll development of REAL equipment for Russia... and indians aren't happy with that arrangement. So nothing gets done. Putin doesn't want equal cooperation because he views India below himself and indians don't want to be dependent on seller, who doesn't want to contribute themselves.

And while ballistic missiles are a no go due to possible missile alarm trigger, cruiser ones are a thing. Just load those with mission relevant bomb loads and send them.

This way he gets the money for competition and doesn't get annoyed by people forcing to adopt the design for production, oversee production quality, plan modernization, iron out new quirks when they are found. In soviet design bureau work philosophy second place was the best place for some people. All the privileges, but no risk.

  2223. Pfft, no, it's not enough. We should go back to 12 hour work days and hide even more unemployment statistics! Sad truth is that humanity produces more (MUCH MORE) then enough goods to cover all basic needs of whole population of Earth and enough to cover luxury requirements of vast majority. The world we live in today instead boils down to ideologies, racism, selfserving politics, inefficient economies and basic logistics. The last thankfully doesn't make me ill:\ Every f//cking nation and ideology cosplays Hitler and believes that they are here to stay for a thousand years just because they exist and some sort of higher power wills it and justifies all they do. (don't be like Hitler, kids, don't do drugs and start believing your own propaganda you have written under influence of drugs based on your time analogue of DnD)... hmm, where the heck was I going with this? Ok, let's stop at not doing drugs, good message.

  2224. MiG-27. Nuff said. It was, is and likely will remain best ground pounder designed and produced in USSR and inherited by Russia. Specifically designed to RETAIN supersonic capability and yet deliver precision firepower. Proved to be too complicated and expensive. And Su-25 is known in Russia as "flying coffin". Because it's what it was designed for - being expendable piece of shit. Make sure that the last person who saw MiG-27 dies before you start preaching to Su-25/39 or whatever they'll call it next. Because we remember aircraft that it'll never be able to replace:P

  2229. Depends on interpretation. A lot of people mistake Centurion for being a first MBT because it was universal aka both infantry and cruiser at the same time, tank. Which was made alongside also universal HEAVY tank Caernarvorn/Conqueror. Look at soviet plans for their heavy tanks like Object 777 and their T-64 MBT that came later or compare Chieftain to Conqueror. MBTs ARE heavy tanks. With price tag of superheavy ones:D That's why a lot of countries seek to purchase or develop smaller, cheaper and more expendable vehicles, be their IFVs, light and medium tanks of IFVs platform or modernizations of old last gen medium tanks like T-62, Vickers(I can't recall indian name), Olifant and M60. Because not everybody has budget for M1A2 or Leclerc. Most countries don't even have budget for T-72 and Leopard 1. And that's just for having them, not properly running, maintaining and training in them. TL:DR they're still right here, it's just that classification purists are too far up their own [Redacted] to admit it. Just like people demanding to call BAR or Fedorov Avtomat a battle rifle, a term invented in the 90's... or the opposite, saying that you can't classify thwm as that because the term is so new. IE whenever you have to argue with "classificationboos"

Or maybe it's just T-34 that is piece of sh//t? Let's see how many post war soviet tanks had used Christie suspension? None? Let's see how many post war soviet tanks used sloped side armor? Also none? Let's see how many post war soviet tanks made commander work as loader? Some, but not really? Oh, I'm sure that T-34 was a great tank and the fact that it was supposed to be replaced by T-34M ASAP or that it costed almost exactly as much to produce as KV-1 due to the use of shared bottleneck components isn't telling a different story. Such a pity that all soviet reports and archives are still in place about pre war testing and all the attempts to replace that "tank". Otherwise some kid would have even believed you:D

If it happens, it happens. Our job is to preserve biological life, intelligence in our universe and knowledge of our civilization.

Кстати когда вышел первый трейлер(в котором ничего не было), многие люди высказали предположение, что на волне хайпа создатели этой хрени включили логику, пошли к Марвел, получили бабла и оформили не клюквенный вариант Зимней Стражи. Но нет, логика проиграла, карман российских налогоплательщиков тоже, сюжет и подавно. Второй трейлер уже все объяснил:( Зато сейчас получим Красного Стража в Черной Вдове. Минут на 20. Потом он либо окажется злодеем из-за национальности, либо его убьют потому, что он наставник/преемный отец главной героини. До середины фильма он не дотянет.

  2263. Technically speaking nothing stops you from loading the same 23mm shell(I said shell, not full round. Casing from autocannon is obviously not used!) from ZSU-23-4 into it and firing said HE.

  2267. Remember F.A.A.N.G. bs? Uncontested, ground breaking, too big to fail tech giants that changed the world blablabla? Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix and Google. Later on people wanted to add Tesla to abbreviation, but it didn't fit the cool naming doctrine 😂 So, remember how it turned out that Netflix is just another name for cable channel and is an evolutionary product instead of revolutionary? Well, the fall of Netflix and rise of other streaming services, including Disney plus has two conclusions made by their owners, boards, shareholders and their investors - 1)streaming services aren't as big as they pose themselves to be as they rely too much on licensed content available by other means; 2)they want to see their name in the abbreviations instead of Netflix. Or in case of Netflix, keep it there. So, what had it lead to? Mad rush in Netflix, Disney and several other streaming companies to greenlit almost anything just to produce the most "original" content by quantity, not quality. And the ideas that are pitched the fastest is the ideas usually mentioned in the same room as they stroke their own egos. This is why there's too much scripts written after the decision to make something marketable instead of scripts that were written and refined over a decade and pitched to the companies. This is why Eternals exists and wastes so much potential and such a massive event for a fart nobody even recalls in-universe, this is why She-Hulk was such a rush hack job that didn't knew which audience it was for despite everyone knowing that even CGI wasn't on the required level yet. Netflix had a head start as a service, Disney has a head start as production and effects leader in the industry, Amazon has money. And everyone and their grandma want to be THE streaming service to "X and chill". This is the "why?".

Instead of forcing enemy to seek out missiles, you're gifting them the whole plane with a pilot that needs to approach enemy military ships and their escorts to drop your damned bombs instead of being hundreds of kilometers away to launch a standard antiship missile. There is no saving cost, there is no lowered risk and there is no increased lethality. Unless the target is unarmed vessel without escort, air support and far away from enemy ground installations. What does match the latter description? Ah yes, civilian ships. So it's either USAF now seeks to destroy civilian ships or the video makes a bold claims about "game changing capabilities" that change f//cking nothing at all in real conflict. So what would that be? Relax, I know that you don't get it no matter how many times I explain it, so feel free to insult me. Have a nice day:D

  2274.  @thomasellysonting3554  it is great to have high operational range(especially considering thing like constantly running out during Battle of El Alamein), however it isn't such a high problem for infantry tank that keeps close to allied logistics. And even Centurion was infamous for short operational range, with many trailers being proposed and not adopted. It was still a good tank. And Matilda had double the range of Churchill if I recall right, not just 50%.

  2275.  @abellseaman4114  Dieppe isn't in Italy and neither were US involved in the raid, Captain Obvious. I was talking about invasion of Italy which left bazookas in german hands which allowed them to develop panzerschreck by the time of D-day and panzerfaust later on. While bazooka itself provided NO overwhelming advantage in Italy above what allied mechanized units and aviation already provided there due to opposing mechanized force being significantly weaker in terms of both quality and quantity.

As Putin isn't going to make way for liberals, democrats, socialists, intellectuals or any other group that for decades believed in compromises and appeasement, he's going to lose it only in power struggle and that means only to whomever is scarier to his court then him.

  2288. Ehm, you've grossly underestimated the numbers. During Battle of Berlin soviets spent between half a million and almost a million shells in artillery barrage on expected german defense positions. Over 20k guns involved. In single day. Resulting in crazy small amount of actual german casualties. IE during WWII soviets(who were always short of materiel) spent the same amount you mentioned on de facto failed single barrage. Yes, those were mostly 76mm shells for field guns and not modern divisional or even corps 120-155mm guns, but still. You get the idea. Maybe half a billion?😅

  2302. With all those dances around 6.5mm and .338 I'm catching HEAVY deja vu to the beggining of 20th century when cartridge standartization was a dream. Back when people were trying to figure out "ideal" rifle and pistol cartridge, some were too light to down a guy, some kicked too much. Arisaka 6.5x50 for example was an example of the former, but that's why Fedorov chose it for his Avtomat. Meanwhile SMGs came into existence with pistol ammo simply because it was available en masse and first during closing stages of WWI the idea of what would later become assault rifle and intermediate cartridge was born. Haven't we seen the outcome of those dances already 5 or 6 times by now?

Wouldn't by that definition ALL drills be considered machineguns? /Looks at STEN/ And add all the plumbing equipment to that list too, I guess? I can understand a person, who OWNS said part getting into trouble IF said part would be found installed on their rifle, but any case beside that seems like the written law is just ignored. Welcome to USSR, I guess😂

  2307. P.S.: it wasn't unique problem and the source was actually poor ammo quality. ShKAS also suffered from it and thus had special high quality ammo (labeled with aircraft propeller on crates) made for it for this exact reason. Problem was solved only after Lend Lease started... and majority of arriving ammo in first batches was unusable for ShKAS:D Local factories operated on various "know how" basis depending on individual factory, but never have put their own adjustment to technological process to paper. As the result ammo produced in US had followed obsolete specification and as such traces of powder and sealant were reacting and de-sealing rounds. As such the bullet was easy to pull out of the case and could easily malfunction. The result was that US designers had chosen different sealant for the next batch based on provided info and then new sealant was adopted in soviet production too. Basically the problem was treating the issue as temporary one and instead of resolving it, allowing it to continue and use separate ammo made on "know-how" basis to be used in ShKAS. Administrative incompetence.

  2314. ​ @shawnfromstatefarm8822  or they simply don't know about the dirty colonial history of Russia and all the genocides(cultural and literal) commited. Ironic that they know about US and UK crimes mostly from US and UK documentaries that criticize their own countries because it's bloody allowed! Not so much in countries that "oppose the West™". Interestingly enough said "the West™" composes from a lot of countries from the east and south, while european colonial powers like Russia are ignored. "Oh, Russia isn't a western country!" It bloody calls itself The Third Rome! Culturally Russia prides itself on viking and byzantium influence on it's history(the tatar and mongol influence isn't mentioned and natives are purged). It's mostly atheist(not ideological atheism, but simply lack of care) country with main religion being orthodox christianity. Or at least a parody of it. How much more stereotypically "western" can this opposition to "the West™" get?:D People should learn what Russian Empire did to natives on all conquered territories(there's 5000+ native languages on territory that composed Russian Empire. Or rather were. What happened to their cultures?). For example how Russia for centuries treated Caucasus. Mass graves for local civilians in any century Russia was there, including both Chechen Wars. But since the only time it was legal to self reflect, doubt, question and criticize in Russia was a short period in late 1980's and 1990's, there's not much of that coming out. The myth of "bad 90's" propagated by Putin when there was a start to at least some political, informational and economical freedom, but nobody is allowed to talk about those and must instead talk how bad they were on criminal and the economical crisis that happened... economical crisis that was caused and exploited by same oligarchs in government of current Russia and criminal climate that was composed of bandits, who also became part of political sphere of modern Russia. Both reasons that the 90's were "bad" were literary pardoned and legalized by Putin and are pillar of his power over Russia, lol:D

  2315. It would have taken only 30k$ for Russia to install Drozd APS on a single tank, 10k$ per crewmember for a chance to survive old ATGMs and to screen other vehicles too. A price of a used car or something like new Lada, a drop compared to price of tank itself. Soviets used them on bloody T-55's because upgrading marines to T-72's seemed too expensive! So I'm not sure that OP's "just a few thousand per tank" work in context of Russia even if those screens were suitable:D

It is VERY hard to overwhelm an empire on the peak of its cohesion by an outsider force and such examples are very rare. It's kind of hard to control conquered lands if no one is willing to collaborate with you and everyone hates you for taking down their (arguably) superior (in their opinion) state. Empire that isn't ready to keel over due to being a shitty place to live in also inspires more people to fight and work harder to preserve it.

  2324. @SEBASTIEN WYSZNIEWSKI and to elaborate the point further, opinion I heard and continue to hear quite a lot in Belarus is that PLC could have survived if 1) constitution came in before first dissolution; 2)serfdom was abolished at the same time; 3)all nationalities, languages and religions have gotten equal opportunity for representation in politics. Not much more is needed. Let a single generation mature in such conditions and neither Russia, nor Germany, nor AH will be able to do anything. Because their own soldiers were serfs and it would be hard to justify such a war now!:D

Jokes about knives aside, when people mention that people in Europe don't need guns(without asking us if we agree btw. History would have been a bit different if 2nd amendment existed in countries that border Russia, France, Russia, Germany, Russia, Austria and Russia), they don't mention that police is also far less armed. In case of UK they're disarmed. So make government legislations work for both police and citizens. Make SWAT teams in California use only state compliant guns and fully disarm cops in NYC!🤣

Was that intent put in metal by 1940? Were there some prototypes, competition? Have any foreign companies proposed their rifles for that?

  2332. While technically gyrojet idea comes from the minituarization of existing active-reactive/rocket assisted artillery shells, the difference is that it is NOT two stage weapon like those. In fact I don't recall gyrojet ammo ever tested together with main charge casing. While 40k Bolter was inspired (it was plagiated from Deathworld novel), bolter is specifically two stage weapon. Which to this day no 40k media had portrayed properly as they forget either the rocket part or the accelerator charge part😅

  2343.  @Kumimono  Romania supports this claim, Hungary stands against this claim. So it's 50/50 with each side claiming that their 50 is 100. There is however little factor called Sweden, country with good military, intent to not take sides other then their own and who even irl refused to allow Allied volunteers to enter Finland from their side. So in case Finland indeed did join up Mr.H's suicide pact, Sweden would have made sure to make Finland reconsider and sit quiet. But on the other hand France also had one of the strongest militaries and probably the greatest military industry in Europe... many variables.

  2344. #AskingIan Ok, here is the weird thing. Why don't manufacturers copy PTRD action for .50? We know that PTRD's "quartermatic" system with automatic extraction eats recoil energy, it is safer then bolt action, it is still reliable, it is cheap and it is not adding too much weight. So why is nobody trying to hit the spot between cheap bolt action and more popular semiauto in 12.7?

  2347. Now "improve" ie butcher it by adding 1)barrel extension(if I recall right PPSH-41 has barrel length below optimal for sake of energy of 7.62x25 round), 2)increasing RoF even further for no reason(it's open bolt gun that would work even faster with more energy available); 3)monopod forward handle(aka Erma EMP one); 4)Suomi sights;)

  2353.  @JimCOsd55  pistol and naval gun also share the fact they're firearms. They serve different roles in different niches on different scale though. You're trying to call a glorified nowadays successor of assault guns an MLRS. Despite russians already having MLRS systems in place. Thousands of them inherited from USSR as well as newly produced ones. You're trying to claim that shotgun is a good enough long range precision rifle if loaded with slugs while sitting on a crate of DMRs.

MG42 manual after 1943 changed to remove walking fire as it had proven incapable of that for majority of troops and FG42/MP44 were created for a reason. That reason being support of the troops on the move. No, MG42 is not LMG as it was proven incapable of filling LMG role by real world expirience. Weapons are used by people.
    2
  2374.  @ramjb  good of you to talk about apples and oranges as it'll make things easier for me now. Walking fire as well as constant advance of the gunner behind the advancing troops and hipfire on the stops using the slings was integral part of german infantry offensive tactics through the whole WWII. Which haven't ended in 1914. And this still holds true for modern LMGs and SAWs which are supposed to be able to be fired from the shoulder. Because this REQUIREMENT for the support role haven't vanished, it is still needed to be filled on the battlefield even in an era of avtomats and assault rifles. If your gun is incapable of filling this niche, maybe it's your problem, huh? And why had that paratrooper fiasco happened, dear? In your opinion MG42 is an LMG so that means that it is fully operated by single person and all the ammo(and spare barrel) is also carried by the same person. Landing with it and not breaking your knees and spine is once again just a question of you viewing it as LMG and thus all german troopers as 196cm, 120kg muscle bound monsters, who can take it. Reality proved different, but ok, keep going. Apples to oranges indeed. What was the role of AR in german tactics of 1944-45? What is the role of AR nowadays? And since you've been kind enough to make a huge mistake and mentioned SAWs and modern classification, lift that MG42 to your shoulder and operate it on the move, please? Nice of you to mention that it german doctrine needed LMG and substituted by using MG42 as one and there were never enough MG42 and MG34 to walk around in two close to each other paragraphs. That once again makes it easier for me. Just a little question - have it ever occured to you that the role was filled by MG42 because it was what they had at the moment and even then in not high enough numbers and not because it was actual LMG or being capable of filling LMG role and niche fully?

  2376.  @543soldier  USSR did its part. There was not just a planned invasion, it was an EXECUTED invasion. But of continental territories! With what were we supposed to invade the islands themselves, huh? T-34-85's don't float, you know? We had neither the (surface) fleet, nor strategic and long range aviation required for it. Explain to me how USSR would invade Japan itself, please? It's just a myth. We had done all we could to fight Japan, the rest was ONLY up to americans. And if you mean provide troops for landing with american support, then why us? There are dozens of millions of chinese, who hated Japan. Arm, train, deliver. Maybe this way China wouldn't suffer such an inglorious continuation of its civil war where not just nationalists as usually seen, but de facto everyone lost and China was denied recovery help.

  2381. Incorrect question since Bofors has their own 57mm gun and during WWII soviets had 37mm and 45mm Bofors copies. With 45mm being only prototype not chosen for production. If that was the right decision remains to be seen and was a hot topic(power vs weight and price) for years. Tbh I was leaning more towards 45mm one exactly because post war both Bofors and soviets developed bigger 57mm version ie real battlefield experience had likely proven that bigger round with more explosive filler and higher kinetic energy was better. 45mm definitely is better option for "fuze setter" solution and for being dual purpose as it can actually pose threat to even some medium tanks.

  2383.  @WingcommanderLuna  armies? Maybe. Navies? Nope, those are quite widespread guns.
    2
  2384. Yes... but no... but yes! To elaborate: ADATS is dual purpose system. Main mistake was that all platforms treated it like SAM only and so it was mounted on SPAAs. Instead you should treat it as TOW-2 replacement(albeit a massive and very costly one) that allows you to mix both normal M3 IFV Bradley and SPA Linebacker into the same vehicle. Yes, it'll be very costly. Or use it on that proposed Stryker tank hunter in place of Hellfire 2 missiles. Meanwhile pure SPAA role should be filled by stealing one of those naval SAM systems and putting it on chassis akin to how Tor/Crotale do it.
    2
  2385.  @danielaramburo7648  ehm, they're in different niches. Avenger is an extremely short ranged(for SPAA) system that is reactive(ie lacks search radar and basically shoots in return) in function. ADATS is short-to-medium ranged and implies the use of search radar(though it can also be made to operate in "stealth mode" with optical search sensors to prevent it being targeted by anti-radiation missiles) to preemptively intercept targets. It's like as if you took Tunguska, compared it with Tor and called second one pointless.

  2386. Why spend all of that on "modernized" Patton when you can buy Leopard 2A4, T-90 and T-84 for same money? Because "made in USA, money goes to US budget"? Well, in that case Leo 2 is still better in terms of quality, available options and money you purchased it with helping NATO;)

  2390. The topic of M60 vs M240 gets a little muddled by the fact that somewhere during M14 development(even after forcing round choice and screwing everyone on FN FAL) someone had (well, for the lack of better word) sabotaged M14 technical requirements and slipped too much BAR into service rifle/battle rifle. So much of it in fact that when LMG M15 version was developed, M14 with bipod ran just as good. So my guess here would be that M60 was on purpose moved out of semiLMG role it could have been filling too while M240 could have been adopted even then as GPMG. So it should have been FN FAL - M60 - M240, but ended up being M14 - M14 - M60.

  2396.  @funnyvalentinedidnothingwrong  Fallout 4's "assault rifle" is just a machine gun. Just treat it like that. It has .50 option mentioned on concept art, while actual assault rifle was in the game files and later on resurfaced in DLC. They just wanted to add a gun for DLC so they removed it. Yes, it's pretty much just Lewis. And don't get me started on Combat Rifle/Combat Shotgun combo that uses the same model for obvious irl reason, but for the very stupid in-game one:(
    2
  2397. The whole drone(in this instance cheap quadcopters with grenades and mines on them) situation can be easily handled by MG3/PKM/FNMAG. That's all that is needed to make any expensive vehicle nigh immune to those. Secret ingredient: powered remote controlled turret with high elevation angle and with ability to mount independent radar(or use radars of APS) and thermals(or connected to electrooptical pods already present) for said GPMG. Those turrets exist on the market and I wonder what happened to stock prices of their manufacturers once war in Ukraine restarted?😅

  2399. 1)do you think that tank armor should be more often inspected in ideal conditions to what it was designed for(for example behind the hill for M1 and in small tank trench for T-64) then just on a flat ground in the open where we usually are always reminded that tanks aren't invulnerable(be it from top attack, flanking or artillery)? 2)do you agree with the statement that main problem of russian equipment is russian command(who decided where and how to use) and state(who stole budget for maintenance, training and modernization) and the equipment itself is actually okay? That if NATO and CSTO were to switch equipment, Russia would lose tanks and other equipment at the same rate as it previously did just because their choices would remain the same?

  2407.  @MarkVrem  no tank(or any other armored vehicle) in the world used Christie suspension after T-34-85 and Comet. And even those inherited it from Covenanter/Cromwell and T-34/76. Soviets abandoned(well, we tried, but reality had some... corrections) Christie suspension for torsion bars in 1940 on T-34M. Brits were trying to abandon it in 1942, but failed for the same reason and had to endure until Centurion was ready. Thankfully it wasn't the only option USSR and UK had. T-45/60/70, KV-1/s/85, IS-1/2 were all torsion bar tanks. Meanwhile brits had Valentine, Matilda II and Churchill. They ducked the last two up pretty badly, but it was at least something.

  2408. Between all of those different Lugers(stocks, calibers, barrels, different test features) we have seen on the channel, what is the best combination in your opinion? And will one of them make a good PDW by today's standarts? By pre-WWII ones? Or is toggle lock times far gone?
    2
  2409. Question that you probably won't see, but I'll ask anyway: Given that technology often comes to small arms after it already became a staple in artillery once it becomes cheaper and/or possible to minituarize, do you see the use of muzzle reference devices on rifles or even adoption of APFSDS "flechettes"(SLAP is APDS) on "assault smoothbores" in the future? Or will small arms jump over that tech/not reach it at all?

By 1944 allies had already capitulated Italy, broken Japan's back, basically won in mainland China and ruled the Mediterranean. Meanwhile on the soviet front, we've FINALLY learned how to use equipment (largely made with lend lease help to cover all bottlenecks such as dead soviet radio production, inability to properly heat treat cutting equipment and laughable chemical industry, that could neither refine oil into fuel properly, nor cover the demand for explosives ie filler for shells and bombs, basic propellants for ALL firearms, even mining was heavily reliant on imported explosives) instead of throwing out men and dooming our country to post war demographic collapse(though it still happened as it was too late).

  2416. The best part is how on photos the track is clean, while the roadwheels and hull are caked in dirt. Meaning someone dragged this replica into the field. The question is who?

  2420. Pity that Degtyarev wasn't keen on FINISHING and refining his own designs. It was accepted and entered production? I received the money and fame? My work here is done. Many people forget that DK was an unreliable drum fed HMG. DShK and DShKM is what people think about instead. And Sh in them doesn't stand for Degtyarev. Neither had he made DT-29M and RP-46, modifications that were needed and possible pre-WWII if he cared. But the cream on the top is of course DS-39. So many designers were sent to the camps, but not the one who refused to finish and refine his designs!

  2435. @Jurassic Hero they ARE xenophobic, just not genocidal. After all you're just primitives to them, "barbarians". However there is a whole system to mine and one habitable planet full of natives. How do you proceed to mine it? What's the cheapest and easiest way? Make natives do it for you, turn them into tributaries. In exchange for some obsolete by your standards tech like basic FTL. And likewise make alien empire a multiracial one with the species from first movie being one of previous tributaries, who themselves had mined their home system for the empire and are now looking for new one to mine both to meet imperial quotas and to help sustain their homeworld. This allows for a potential sequel(which we won't get) between military patrol trying to find miners fate and Earth that had a few years to study and prepare. There is no stakes if Earth somehow gets alien tech and can fight off fleet in orbit, but equally no stake if they just glass planet from orbit. Here you get Earth trying to preserve it's independence and squeze out the future on its own terms while in case humans lose, it's also not a complete game over for humanity.

  2436. @Gibson343088 Jokes about it being a glorified lever action aside, I'm refering to the fact that Colt-Browning M1895 was a part of "original trio" of first machineguns.

But while Madsen and Maxim were improved and modernized(the patterns serving to this day are actually pre-WWII versions), Colt was thrown to the wayside. I get that M1919 is far better and deserves the praise, I just feel like M1895 deserves to be remembered too.

  2445.  @konosmgr  I just did. They had the same armour, just of an older model. Moreover iraqi engineers had modified armor further to protect the tank from early versions of TOW. And yes, soviets removed FCS. But iraqi crews were still hitting targets. Solely due to having proper training. It's as if it's the whole point of this discussion and you came right back to it 🤣 Yes, and it did better then Russia against Ukraine.

  2446.  @konosmgr  by russian claims they've used old steel penetrators. By further russian claims they've delivered mild steel penetrators because they didn't want to break the embargo. By even further russian claims they've further sabotaged their quality on top of that. And if I'll dig even further, then there'd be a russian claim that the provided penetrator rods were made out of wood painted with chrome paint, that they were never sent and the whole situation was made up anyway. Which one are you interested in, comrade? However it doesn't change the fact that 1)iraqi tankers were scoring hits; 2)before T-90A's revised autoloader that elongated the allowance of possible penetrator length there wasn't a penetrator for 2A46 that would go through M1 turret; 3)iraqi tankers were scoring hits:P Even without your claimed good FCS that never heard of MRD until 2017, without your precious claimed good penetrators they were performing like you guys NEVER did. Both in discipline and skill. Training matters. Maintenance matters. And no matter how many times you will try to derail this convo, iraqi tankers>>>soviet tankers>>>>>russian tankers.

  2448.  @millennialcaveman8383  it has no value NOW, thanks to COVID-19. But oversaturation of consumer and selling sector in past 3 decades is part of the problem. People literary worked as either sellers or resellers of imported products. Ignoring their education because commerce paid more. At the same time newer generations stopped looking at education to pursue their careers since it wasn't going to give them a job in current market and only would put them in debt. So when market shook, consumerism faltered and imports slowed down, a lot of them lost their jobs. Causing a feedback loop since they not only stopped being workers, they lost income and stopped buying causing more retail jobs to be cut down. Chain reaction on same logic as to why Ford wanted his workers to be able to afford Model T. Except Ford was smarter then nowaday "born into position" CEOs, who just happen to be relatives of major shareholders:D

  2449.  @NuryPPanaligan  I am a eastern European and I indeed laugh... at you though, not him:D I guess I have to specify. A lot of high paying jobs here are result of income disparity between the countries. So most people, who have fluent english and upper education end up working in offices of international corporations. So what else do we see? We see workers from same corporations coming here to help set up work and... staying. Because they are still paid at a rate of their original office, but costs of living here are much cheaper. So they have an incentive to actually stay as that de facto increases their social standing by same income rate. And people, who can actually work online are doing basically the same - finding jobs with companies from countries with higher income and then going somewhere they feel better. I know people, who just emigrated to Canada, New Zealand or Israel, those who stayed here, but work western companies, those who work for russian companies, but decided to emigrate to cheaper asian countries like Malaysia while retaining their work, german specialists slowly moving to eastern Germany with its lower property costs or to Poland and so on. So nope, it does happen a lot. Your job doesn't have to be a grave of your life. You're probably talking about unskilled manual labor, who can't work on distance:D I can't speak for Latin America, Asia or Africa though.

This combination is why all crossplatformer games are suffering from bad UI and controls and games ported from consoles are borderline unplayable.

  2454. Regarding the question about Belarus and nuclear weapons... we don't know who's in charge of our military at the moment. De facto occupation and puppet state were our problem for a long time, but even if put aside Lukashenko's actions and his "legitimacy", here's some facts from past few weeks. 1) Cockroach Lukashenko is still hospitalised in Moscow. With very little information available. 2) there is literary russian military police that was spotted on multiple occasions on top of already present russian forces that have been in the country since early-to-mid 2021. 3)loyalty of our army(the command part) to Belarus was questionable even at best times. Add in on top the actual invasion, constant air strikes coming from our territory, our equipment (which we barely had any anyway) finding its way into possession of russian troops in Ukraine, all the leased aircraft being under russian control, the rumour ed false flag flights that russians conduct under our flag for whatever reason. Is it our army? I have no bloody idea ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ And I don't want to think what they'd do if they receive order from Moscow. What would Vichy France do with orders coming straight from Berlin?

  2465.  @WraithMagus  but soviets DID use them. And you've even described how;) Tell me, what was the purpose of BOMBER planes on I-400? To attack ground targets. What weapon was invented during WWII to increase effectiveness and cut costs of it? Cruise missile. I-400 is a stepmother of american cruise missile subs and grandmother of all nuclear ballistic missile submarines. That's why they were sunk to prevent soviets from studying them. US specialists immediately realized that you just need to replace those bomber with V-1 and you'll get a very powerful option. Option that was obviously going to become even more terrifying once technology would allow to mount a nuke inside a missile by either making more powerful missile or lighter nukes(irl both). So no, soviets DID use them(even if they had to invent them from scratch), US used them and most nuclear club members used them. You just failed to see the design evolution in accordance to new tech, just like someone looking at FT-17 equipped with machine gun and not realizing that it's an ancestor of all modern MBTs just because it doesn't have a cannon:D
    2
  2466.  @ranekeisenkralle8265  submersible aircraft carriers existed because missile tech wasn't there hence the need to use bombers. When I-400 ended up in US hands people had figured that it can launch cruise missiles just as easily. Both I-400 and Typhoon are solutions to same problem, just on other technical levels.
    2
  2467.  @thundercactus  soviets had to figure solution themselves yes, but it was solution to same requirement, same task, same problem. I-400 was the best one can do with the tech of the time. And even without building new subs, it could have been already retrofitted to carry and launch several cruise missiles. Inaccurate and comparatively weak back then, but everyone with half a brain realized that in the future they'd be able to carry nukes with pinpoint accuracy thanks to radio control. This is why I-400 was sunk, to prevent soviets from having easy solution that can be copied like B-29. Typhoon isn't based on I-400, but it emerged from same requirement still existing decades later - cruiser submarine capable of striking enemy heartland.

  2468.  @1BigBen  no, I mean exactly what I've said, soviet type 125mm like 2A46, but ukranians and poles among others have their own versions. If you're going for NATO L/44, you might as well go for proper Leo 2. I mean that in context of Ukraine still probably having 125mm ammo supplies(not to mention tooling to produce them), but not very many matching guns that use them.
    2
  2469. Now "upscale" it to 203-210mm since Al Fao didn't work out. I mean come on, am I the only one that thinks that it and G6 already look too similar to be a coincidence?

  2473. Shermans and Churchill's were unlikely to be replaced even in AU, but what could have happened is that T-34 could have intermingled with british cruiser line, who themselves were designs based on (cursed) Christie suspension. They even used Liberty engine spinoffs just like BT-2/5 did. They were armored unlike those though😅 And some say that KV-1 was already used, a few myths state that it's testing helped nudge US towards finally settling on torsion bars and thus allowed T26 to enter the war instead of being stuck in same eternal design/redesign limbo as american heavy tanks like T29 for example.
    2
  2474.  @cnlbenmc  there is an old anecdote from the 60-70's: Border between West and East Germany in the open field. Out of nowhere a tank bristling with antennas and cameras rides out from western side, crosses the field, makes a loop and goes back. There was alarm, there was small arms fire, there were a few shots, but all missed. Nobody got hurt. Apparently that tank is an unmanned drone. Commander comes in evening and berates everyone. Next morning same tank reappears with slightly changed equipement arrangement, crosses the border, makes the loop and goes back. Now it got hit a few times, but it didn't care. Commander berates everyone again then gets a call from higher ups berating him. Next morning situation repeats. More hits, but results are just as empty. A party member arrives and talks to commander. Next morning is the repeat. Party member observes it and tells something to commander. Commander leaves and returns in the evening in a truck. Hauling an old long barreled high velocity 15cm AA gun. During the night soldiers and sappers construct a position for the beast. Next morning the tank reappears, crosses the border and vanishes from this Earth. Party members leaves, commander gets a recommendation, soldiers get praised for high readiness and accuracy.

  2476. Hmm, it seems strange that he hadn't taken his system to commercial market of double barrel shotguns after the war. It fixes the problem of double shot and his patented trigger system would do more then fine in breach loading models. The main point is system of two hammers and single trigger and he seems to have made quite a solid one. Shotguns won't require casing unlike rifles for several more decades due to demand on variable ammo loads.

  2477. +TIK I know that Japan isn't an "official" Axis member outside some Allied sources of low quality, but why no mention of american embargo on Japan and how it forced them to attack USA? Why no mention of how italian oil production in Libya was important to goals of african campaign, one of its causes and how it influenced it? Why no mention of the fact that crude oil=/=fuel and how "desperate and losing" british and soviets invaded Iran in late summer 1941 to add its oil reserves and ESPECIALLY its famous Abadan refinery, one of the most powerful in the world back then and how they justified it by claiming that Iran was leaning to Axis(which it maybe was doing to save itself)? Without this video is great, but at the same time seems almost... half finished at best?

  2479.  @theultimatederp3288  not very weird. Russia uses paratroopers and artillery as separate corps just like US uses marines. And if I recall right, for some time several countries retained cavalry and army as actually separate branches until full mechanization(though one could just attribute it to doctrinal adaptation mess after World Wars). It is more about whom focuses on what. It allows further specialization, extra training and equipment, but also can result in same mess as "parallel airforces" of Imperial Japan.

  2480.  @floydvaughn836  1)shock and awe on enemy and morale boost for troops; 2)it's better then glorified WWII planes used for COIN; 3)it already exists. There are people trained, there is no need to produce it, logistics works. For example if you had a thousand working T-34's with ready crews nowadays, you'd be better off mothballing half of them to have reserve vehicles and parts while making IFVs from the rest of them. Add ATGM in place of cannon, instal thermal sight and modern radio. Done.

He could have made a belt feed adapter for DP-28 just like Shpagin did for his(Degtyarov's) DK turning it into renowned DShK(deserving or not is different question), but instead he chased new medal for new gun aka DS-39. Which wasn't ready neither for adoption, nor for mass production. Imagine if soviet troops had RP-46 in 1941?

    1
  2505. AzraelsBane231 If their gods actually decide to favor them. Because we've already seen how that worked for Eliphas in DoW series considering that the player is taking the role of gods of the faction he chooses. We all know that he's very powerfull and competent, but at the same time his defeats are canonical meaning that Eliphas was always screwed over by his own gods:)) Same might be going on for Archaon here. All factions require his roasted backside handed to him so even despite Age of Sigmar, here the plan didn't go as planned(long campaign victory options mean that Chaos simply wouldn't be able to challenge new superpower that succeded in taking over the Old World no matter be it Orks, Counts, Empire or Dwarfs).
    1
  2506. Gábor Hajdu And here comes the problem we already discussed: 4 out of 5 campaigns ask us to kick Chaos as hard as we can and it's implied that we did exactly that since there is no "here's your second place reward for being good and reacefull" trophy. So basically, he pissed us off and haven't counted what that would lead to.
    1
  2507. Gábor Hajdu yes, it is so. But constant war is the MOST benefitial source of energy for all Chaos "gods"(and most others) and us winning a campaign as any of those 4 non-Chaos factions basically means our full and unquestionable domain over all of Old World. What if we play as Dwarfs and also prefer to weaken Winds of Magic whenever we can and as much as we can? That's a straight up defeat in my opinion. Not permanent of course, but quite a heavy and low blow for a few generations.
    1
  2508. Gábor Hajdu Well if campaign map actually included Ulthuan and Naggaroth... I'm starting to fell that we, players, are probably worse then Chaos "gods" in some way. We want ALL just like a Tyranid swarm and won't settle for anything less:\

  2517. Marvelous Mehki slightly improved gameplay does justify all this "story"?
    1
  2518. Marvelous Mehki the whole story was crap from the very set up. Alex suddenly becomes a villain, who contradicts himself on every turn, GenTek is back, Pariah never existed, Dana, who was infected with Redlight is ok, city is full of people again, Karen Parker is dead despite Alex leaving her scared in that elevator and so on.They've taken every bad turn they could.
    1
  2519. Marvelous Mehki Redlight is incurable and unlike Blacklight that is a combination of "super soldier serum" and "perfect bioweapon that targets specific people with specific genetic markers" is plain "walking mass disease that makes zombies". Basically, she would have infected the city again by simply walking out. He wasn't even an anti-hero. He was not giving a single f//ck about anything. Why did he started to care(I'm not going to comment on a way authors decided for him to show his "care")? And yes, that comic is also a pile of sh//t. Alex does not get neither expirience nor Web of Intrigue for finding Karen. The only place she's mentioned as dead is some social network account of one of said authors responsible for follow up mess done before release of P2. GenTek failed in it's tasks and received a crapload of bad publicity. It would have been shutdown and it's resources and projects given to other company or institute. You haven't commented on people staying in city that received a fallout and where millions died in a horrible event just on the other bank of the river from a horrible disease(with Red Zone being the financial, logistic and infrastructure center of the city, how was it supposed to function normally?). Would you stay if you were in their place?
    1
  2520. Marvelous Mehki And that would have given him exp... which he didn't get either as I've already mentioned above. Besides seeing Karen guilty after stopping hostilities with "Cross" is a bit too much of a stretch, don't you think? Red Zone is Manhattan Island. If you haven't read what I've just written(again. It's quite obvious by now that you don't read my comments before "answering", it's the center of the city. All roads lead there. Now it's a mass grave. To a virus that might still be there. In a city that was almost nuked and still received some mild fallout. Where transportation system is in ruins as most likely are water and electricity. And your chances of finding a job are close to zero. Once again, would you stay?

  2524. Marvelous Mehki I wouldn't use it as an excuse for being an idiot.
    1
  2525. Marvelous Mehki yeah, like that time screaming at keyboard. Very merciful.
    1
  2526. Marvelous Mehki Alex haven't killed Dana, "Cross"(while he still was Cross), Ragland and Karen. And "Nice guy" achievement states that he killed less then a dozen civilians. Most of the game he also was angry and allowed himself to be fooled a lot(until somewhere around 3/4th of the storyline). Yet he wasn't ACTING stupid and swearing just to swear. Your point? My point that they've made Heller a cliche "scary black man"(something developers of Watch Dogs 2 are doing right now minus scary part with their barely out of teen protagonist: "He's a black guy from bad neighbourhood=he's expert in all forms of weaponry and combat and has no qualms about killing". Not to mention how they perceive the meaning of "hacker" - 3d printer, quadcopter, social media acoount and tons of happyness for amounts of likes... strange that his main transport isn't a f//cking segway... with spinner wheels and hydraulics). then added up a cliche "stupid military grunt" and topped it with unending rage borrowed from Kratos.
    1
  2527. Marvelous Mehki I've already pointed out that he didn't kill her. Otherwise it would have been left obvious and not needing any clarification on social media from one of the members of developement team before release of second game. Want to point out that they're developers and know better? Pariah in P2? And we also see him talking to "Cross" on the rooftop, explaining whole story as well as not attacking when "Cross" showed up to reveal himself as informant. As for Heller, I guess I haven't noticed it by then after facepalming myself too much and wanting the game to finally reach it's end.
    1
  2528. Marvelous Mehki betrayed whom exactly? Care to repeat that? Alex was already dead by then and she tried to help to save human lives. I guess you're right, we all judge them by our own code. For me, it's obvious that he didn't kill her because it prooved and gained him nothing, just a final goodbye to life and past of Alex whom he believed himself to be. For you, it's obvious that he killed already scared to the brink of madness woman, who was no threat to him at that point anyway just to get revenge. To each his own. Yes, he's recapping the story of the game. Does it contradict the fact that they're just standing on a rooftop and talking for a few hours?

  2529. Marvelous Mehki Captain Obvious, you have trouble with reading again?

  2530. Marvelous Mehki and yet you completly failed to grasp the context. Good job. No, really, good job. Remember film Thing? Are you saying that betraying monster that pretends to be human is the same thing as betraying said human? By that moment she already knew Alex wad dead. And "Alex" later found out that she knew and was actually refusing to cooperate until AFTER being presented with the proofs during her interrogations(by a guy who became part of your memory). If he was actual Mercer, she wouldn't have done it.

Wakanda is not one of the superpowers on global political arena. Black Panther does not have 100% rights on all of his countries wealth.

  2557. WWE Roman Reigns I'm surely am. "Don't apply common sense to comics" argument have surfaced much sooner then I expected though. So, and how are you planning to transport, refine and use it if electricity is not something you can use? Slaves in hamster wheels? And where do you think the buyers get THEIR money? And what does Wakanda spend it on? So who's argumentation is shallow?:\ And yes, I'm an a//hole. Otherwise I wouldn't be having fun teasing you, guys.

  2559. +From DeeTown nope, sorry to shatter your fantasies. Why? Because Black Panther and Wakanda as a whole have nothing to back up such an empty claim:P
    1
  2560. From DeeTown yeah, we all need vibranium for our everyday lives, sorry, forgot about it. Devices we both comment from are powered for it, we'll ride to work on it, it's everywhere around us, right? No. Wish to continue supporting empty claim?
    1
  2561. From DeeTown except for people who say that mineral that has very limited field of applications and usage is going to be more important in world economy then things that it's buyers make money from and Wakanda itself spends most of this income on. Can't actually remember anyone dominating world economy with californium for example:\

    1
  2563. Reckless rouge which Tony won't be using at all. Surprise. It's like as if Lex Luthor put kryptonite radiation emitters on all of his sattelites and then forgot about them... in fact it also might have happened:(
    1
  2564. StL ChuckO  ever heard of reading? Do this very action to my comments you're probably trying to answer, please. Thanks in advance(even though you won't do it anyway as we both know:)) Oh, and knowledge about existence of sarcasm might also help btw.
    1
  2565. StL ChuckO I'm just saying that without Thor and Hulk taking parts in it, Tony could have captured all of those who'll support Cap(except Scarlet Witch who'll probably be Vision's opponent) in upcoming Civil War just by snapping his fingers and sending out a whole army at that segment in airport we've seen in trailers... which we won't see. Hopefully they'll at least come up with some sensible explanation beyong "too OP to be entertaining":( However same can probably be said about Bruce too to some extent since most of the time he also isn't allowed by authors to continue developing and using exosuits except for a very rare occasions.
    1
  2566. StL ChuckO Alcohol...
    1
  2567. shashwot kc ^I've meant kryptonite... if there is actually a difference:|
    1
  2568. shashwot kc First, there were two comments. Tony had used EMP trick himself more then once so hoping that it'll work on him... will you attack Bruce with batarangs? Second - phosphorus grenade. Single one. Low tech as f//ck, but worked for Bruce. Scarlett is a reality warper. Against her even Superman don't have more then 50/50% chances. Because....  Spoiler: since Vision in MCU is basically Superman(pure good, powered by infinity gem, vibranium body) in current version, you'll see exactly that. With him present Civil War wouldn't have made a turn to worse or even escalate to violence and the only person who can take him out... is Wanda. Which we see in trailer. Wouldn't be an entertaining film if he just talked everyone out of it, right? Besides someone needs to tear out that gem out of his head for Infinity War to happen;) Have fun.
    1
  2569. StL ChuckO In a way Bruce has a real heavy issues in that regard. Don't know about the comics, but in newer animated films(JL:Doom) he was so caught off balance by their desecrated graves that he couldn't fight back
    1
  2570. StL ChuckO Because they think that it's magic and will automatically break any technology(some examples from "genius" authors go as far as breaking purely mechanical equipement).
    1
  2571. Jason Ingram By fan calculations Tony's suits cost more then a billion each... if we throw away the notion that he basically gets them for free unlike Bruce's batmobiles. I don't know Forbe's calculations, but I remember summs of 270-250 billions being called(which is logical considering that most world economy is centered around fossil fuels and energy production and Tony is the sole owner of working(as well as very powerfull and minituarized) fusion tech).
    1
  2572. AKA THE GREATEST Spoiler: show me any instance where Tony is ALLOWED to bring all his suits by producers(except Iron Man 3 where all suits were apparently made of tin)? It's logical thing if any of us ended in his place that we'd just orbital drop a dozen of Hulkbusters into any conflict zone while being back in our mansion ourselves, but it wouldn't make up for a very great movie, right? Likewise Bruce also has exosuits and remote controlled vehicles... that he isn't using. Remember how drones occupied Gotham in Arkham Knight? That's what Bruce should be able to do himself if you go by logic. So basically they're both not allowed to use this, sorry:D
    1
  2573. AKA THE GREATEST 1)whenever Tony uses more then 1 suit, they turn to useless garbage 2)it's called Bleeding Edge suit; 3)liquid metal has nothing to do with nanomachines, sorry to ruin your worldview.

  2574. AKA THE GREATEST why are you mentioning Batman again if we're talking about Iron Man? Can you leave your DC fanboyism out for a second?

  2575. Well, on one hand yes, it was dumb and likely reason for banning her is how people treat her actions as endangering the child and we're screaming about it. But on the other hand... thumbnail of this video made it quite popular one, didn't it? How many upvotes have you gotten too?
    1
  2576. Just calculate how many would you need to replace it. Progress at any cost and without the requirement for it is not always the best solution. Counter solution - decrease the drain on water reserves in the region and dump of pesticides into the sources. You've already turned Aral Sea into a chemicals covered desert Aralkum. And now when the oil was found there, I doubt that any project to reverse the water drainage will be approved. That's intensive(ie wasteful) agriculture for you:\

  2577. InFamous Savage 99 trillions? Lol. F//ck physics? Nope, in comic book land we said f//ck you to basic economics too. Who wrote it?
    1
  2578. Spencer Smith What I'm trying to get is why if people think exactly what they've said about Black Panther's wealth, then why aren't Thor(son of Asgards ruler), Orion(son of Darkseid and adopted son of Highfather), Diana(daughter of Zeus and princess of Themyscira)  or Aquaman(ruler of Atlantis) the richest then? Thor and Orion alone can inherit thousands of planets with Vibranium or N-metall deposits. They're not part of Earth economics? But this guys just continue saying "f//ck economics and common sense it was stated somewhere by author that surely had idea that simply calling any high number out of his head will not make it look ridiculuous"?
    1
  2579. Spencer Smith Superman views himself as earther, but has solo rights(until it's starting raining kryptonians again) for all leftovers of kryptonian tech, colonies and so on plus on the biggest source of kryptonite - his planet's debris.
    1
  2580. Ariyan Singh There is Orion from DC who can in theory inherit BOTH Highfather's(adoptive father) and Darkseid's(real father) assets.
    1
  2581. Giacomo Bianchi Yes, but his company's main product is now his fusion reactor that he constantly works on with his armors as well as his repulsors that put to shame any engine used for spacecraft today. So in a way, he gets money for this work:\
    1
  2582. Macephtopheles It wasn't cost effective because tech level did not allow his father to finish it and reactors were falling apart. Which Tony did in IM2 thanks to having the tech to synthesize the core that can take the strain. That's first problem. Second one is that Tony succeded in minituarising it. It IS self sustainable. And if he builds a big one for someone, they still won't be able to copy and miniaturise it, no to mention weaponise it for many years. We also see Hammer drones using power cells(yes, they were created by Vanko. But did the whole production line and all related data just vanish without ending up in hands of SHIELD at least, huh?), Hydra forces in exosuits with energy weaponry, SHIELD equipement.  His tech is already getting out. When you can no longer try to lock it away,, you have to adjust and take the lead or otherwise someone else will.
    1
  2583. Macephtopheles and now instead of quoting him from comics, put yourself into his position. Think about things you actually need to create them and what you have available at your disposal. Will you even care for their cost in his place?
    1
  2584. Macephtopheles The question was not "do they cost a lot?", but  " do they cost a lot to HIM?" if I haven't yet forgotten the context.
    1
  2585. Macephtopheles then on what does he spent in during their production?  It can't be on materials alone, right?
    1
  2586. Savannah Tuttle except that estimation makes no sense at all because there is no vibranium market to begin with as well as other points touched in this discussion before. It's just a sign of uninformed and lazy authors.
    1
  2587. Savannah Tuttle the problem is that it's its estimated price while they're not selling and it's rare. But they have no market for selling it. Demand creates supply, remember? On top of that it's his countries natural resource, not his personal wealth. Tony on the other hand has the most advanced energy generation tech in the world with massive constant demand on it that is going to rise with each passing day. Plus Wakanda has all of Earths(!) vibranium that is said to be a result of meteorite. Once stories start revolving around leaving Solar system it should have became irrevalent(not to mention that there is second deposit in Antarctic and it can be synthesized). Sorry, but the only thing I've seen in this is stupidity of author who stated that disregarding how economy works.

  2621. DarkL88 He was good from the beginning. In Clear Sky he believed that the ends justify the means and almost reached C-Conscious if not for Scar. They brainwashed him without knowing whom he was and sent among others to kill the only man that posed real threat to them. And as we know it, they failed. And thanks to Degt... Degtyarev... в общем, благодаря Дегтяреву, he actually changed the Zone.
    1
  2622. DarkL88 Well, I see him pursuing his task at "killing Strelok" in SoC as grasping the last straw in attempt to find out whom he is. And I guess he got he memories at least partially back in CoP considering the way we see him - he's still one of the legends of the Zone, but that time he seemed closer to Doctor(and in good ending he even left the Zone behind never to take arms again).
    1
  2623. foof811 He already did with Degtyarev's help. Besides, he can't get his friends back...
    1
  2624. foof811 Before CoP sounds more likely, but he after SoC he fell of the radar so to speak and his appearance in CoP was a surprise to even the hardened stalkers so it also seems unlikely. I treat this info(just as any about Stalker 2) as fan speculations and wishes. It's even unlikely that there will ever be new Stalker game... unless Bethesda buys rights for it too and turns it into a tower defense, dress up or whatever else goes on in their heads after they raped Fallout franchise with their SkyMineBorderFable 4 =(

  2625. foof811 I've just meant that a few years ago were such rumors and that "Fallout" 4 is a disgrace bordering on fraud

  2627. Brandon Correa Superman is not protected from magic in any way and Thor had shot down(technically) Galactus. Plus the punch with Mjolnir is pretty close to Sup's punches. Without his hammer however...
    1
  2628. Brandon Correa and the most obvious being... to take Mjolnir himself. Pre-Crisis Kal carried it for some time if I recall right(and once hammer returned in possession of Thor, Kal couldn't lift it any longer).
    1
  2629. Damian Charleston Superman grabs the hammer and stops it(he's worthy even if he can't overpower Mjolnir). Thor can't let hammer out of his hands for long in this fight. Plus shooting Kal into the sun is... counterproductive?
    1
  2630. Brandon Correa Between two goody do gooders? It simply won't. And if we put them against evil counterpart of other(evil Superman who can't control Mjolnir or Ragnarrok who's just a shadow of original) then good original wins.
    1
  2631. Makhi Makharadze Proof or it didn't happen I'd say since you've just said that only instance is false, but have nothing to back your words with. And scene of Kal and Thor beating up someone like Doomsday while throwing Mjolnir between each other is too good to throw away:\
    1
  2632. Ya'BoiPaulyH He has a point, you know? Kal is as vulnerable to magic as normal human(ie his powers do not protect him from it that why it's called one of his weaknesses despite not actually being one). So a strike from Mjolnir or use of Thor's energy based powers IS deadly. The question here is "can Kal lift Mjolnir?" though. It's stated that he can't with strength, but is he worthy?

  2633. Liz ard So, you do confess that if one of the persons you can save is a racist despite going as far as risking her life to save the same people she hates, you'll choose someone else?

  2643. Because those people also enjoyed it, but unlike you, they don't constantly wear pink glasses and go to shower with Skyrim box. Same as F4. It was a good game, quite fun... but it was THE WORST that had happened to Fallout franchise. Calling it canon is an insult. Skyrim is likewise a very shallow oversimplified shadow of previous titles(compare it to amount of lore added in Morrowind. 90% of the books you see in Skyrim are from that game. That game defined RPG and open world genre back then. Skyrim? Not so much...) and it has no combat system at all. While games built around it aren't even included.

  2647.  Pierre LeDouche  I've actually was talking about the fact that french and russians weren't considered important enough for Great War to be included into the base game and neither them, nor any of Central Powers got a campaign mission about them. The only exception to over a dozen missions was a single italian one consisting of two episodes on same map.
    1
  2648. Falloutman216  To the same degree as SC2 that is the lowest level of RTS can get through simplification and castration of the game features during developement. No wonder it's fans are stalwart believers that MOBA's have any connection to RTS's.

  2649. Anhk94 11.15x37mm and 9.5x60mm were also used in their rifles back then. Are you implying that .45 ACP is also beyound human capabilities, not to mention bigger handgun catridges? Google the full list of catridges they were using in it back then.

Real pity that there are suits far more powerful then Mk.50 though:P

Someone else designed suits for Tony? Buster suits are not preparations? Lex Luthor is not one of the greatest opponents to JL as a whole? Your trolling levels passed fat and obvious stages long ago and yet you persist even after being called out on this things.

  2666. Melvin Han Yeah, you're probably right. And were right all along. And your sense of humor is so superior. How could I even compare Iron Man who wouldn't be allowed to use Iron Legion/Hulkbuster against Cap to a man who would use psych restrictions, kryptonite and Zod's own armor to beat Superman? Definetly a man that is not allowed to use equipement he designed himself is less professional the a man who's receiving whatever he's needed at just the right moment by sheer luck... and a bit of Lex Luthor;) No sarcasm was used in creation of this comment... almost...

And problem is not only in mass, but also in SIZE of ammo container needed. Besides if we'll get to choose weapons for exosuit equipped infantry, HMGs, AGLs and 20+mm antimaterial rifles make it lag behind heavily in terms of actual firepower.

Я пошел на инженерную специальность только в ВУЗе о чем за два года старших классов успел пару раз пожалеть. При этом это был математический класс в профильной гимназии. Я еще никогда так не ненавидел математику. И себя. Еще один момент, каким образом вы смотрите на "птушника" хуже, чем на хрена, который даже ПОСЛЕ школы ВООБЩЕ НИЧЕГО не сделал и не рыпался?

  2681. Rioplats Said the person that had written Mods as bold text when saying about TES and the best counter example you come up with is Wild Hunt that came out last year? How about comparing quality of mods to scale of M&B or Total War modding? How many TES mods go to this level? You can count them by your fingers. Congrats on triggering me to answer your BS again btw.

  2682. TheSkipRow Gaming yeah, expirience as a publisher. That's why Doom, New Vegas and Dishonored are so good(or rather despite it as proven the story with Prey 2). But as a developers nowaday only thing we see is them castrating Oblivion into Skyrim and then doing the same thing to New Vegas to get Failout 4. Whatever their own next game will be TES or Fallout, even Minecraft would be more of RPG at this rate. Stop being a fanboy and face the reality.

Mountains in the background, new locations to clear with no one to talk to or any story to them, copy pasted dungeons that all looked alike, dumb AI... should I continue?

  2685. Rioplats If you people want to call Skyrim RPG then compare it to RPGs. My position is simple. Likewise I really liked Fallout 4, but I never viewed it as a Fallout game since it has no right to be called so. Check it's reviews and you'll see that it's a position of the majority for that game. Skyrim I view likewise. Great sandbox adventure, not RPG in any way.

  2691. Jarsia Right on shedule...

  2692. Jarsia and yet most PC/PS gamers simply don't remember about it because of Microsoft "genius" decision to alienate actual majority of gamers. Now it's auditory is dwindling with examples being part 5 that has scored the lowest in the amount of actual copies selled at the start for this franchise(which combined with most money made at the games release in this series. Quite a price jump, isn't it?;)) Mjolnir and Spartans problem here is that they're just a copy/paste of actual Space Marines(I guess I don't have to call franchise here to understand whom I mean here), but when the question of muscle fibre or organic armor raises on the forums, whom comes to mind as an example first, huh?
    1
  2693. Jarsia Crysis just rings a bell as an example of it's own type of suits while Mjolnir haven't brought anything actually new in designs. Take SM armor(and not only) description, paste Doomguy over it as a texture and throw some HL and Marathon(I know it was also made by Bungie. Everybody does, Cap. So if you thought about commenting about this particular mention in hopes of sounding smart, you'd better keep quite because you won't) in there. Done. For example in Arkham Knight were the heavy melee type enemies that had some sort of muscle fibre as part of their suits. How do people talk about them on the game wiki? "Those guys in nanosuits." P.S.: a bit about some people after mention of Marathon and Bungie is not actually directed to you personally, Jarsia

  2700. The same thing as Mass Effect 2. It will be any good only AFTER all patches and dlc's are out and modding community received f//cking creation kit at last and gets some time to raise it's steams so to speak. However there is hardly a way to reintroduce back global, faction and location related karma and law system, durabillity and so on so it still will be remembered more like Borderlands/Fable 3/Rage mash up that tries to resemble Fallout 3 and Skyrim at the same time then actual proper Fallout title. Maybe it'll even be remembered in 10-15 years thanks to modders still... no, just kidding, it even lacks it's own atmosphere that Skyrim had.

As well as connection between radiation strength and half life of isotopes and natural levels of radiation. ^school level of physics And no, it does NOT make sense even if we view it as a sci-fi game since it breaks it's own lore and logic. What are you feeding your damn settlers with? ^common sense Result: you lack both and will continue licking Todd's a//hole no matter what so it's pointless to waste time on you. Ok, you're right. It's a perfect game, perfect new Fallout game and the last time Bethesda seen my money which is the only important part for me here. Bye

Hey, breach loading cannons exist(and will be abandoned again soon) and we can build trains thus meaning that we can take one such cannon, mount it on a rail, add two hydraulic cylinders... and get french american 75!

  2722. Remember F.A.A.N.G. bs? Uncontested, ground breaking, too big to fail tech giants that changed the world blablabla? Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix and Google. Later on people wanted to add Tesla to abbreviation, but it didn't fit the cool naming doctrine 😂 So, remember how it turned out that Netflix is just another name for cable channel and is an evolutionary product instead of revolutionary? Well, the fall of Netflix and rise of other streaming services, including Disney plus has two conclusions made by their owners, boards, shareholders and their investors - 1)streaming services aren't as big as they pose themselves to be as they rely too much on licensed content available by other means; 2)they want to see their name in the abbreviations instead of Netflix. Or in case of Netflix, keep it there. So, what had it lead to? Mad rush in Netflix, Disney and several other streaming companies to greenlit almost anything just to produce the most "original" content by quantity, not quality. And the ideas that are pitched the fastest is the ideas usually mentioned in the same room as they stroke their own egos. This is why there's too much scripts written after the decision to make something marketable instead of scripts that were written and refined over a decade and pitched to the companies. This is why Eternals exists and wastes so much potential and such a massive event for a fart nobody even recalls in-universe, this is why She-Hulk was such a rush hack job that didn't knew which audience it was for despite everyone knowing that even CGI wasn't on the required level yet. Netflix had a head start as a service, Disney has a head start as production and effects leader in the industry, Amazon has money. And everyone and their grandma want to be THE streaming service to "X and chill". This is the "why?".

  2727.  @nikitajukov4915  sadly it took them whole WWII flying past them to make RP-46. Which is a version with belt adapter. Similar to one used by DShK. Which is also Degtyarev's work. And which also was "pan" fed in his early DK form. So they could have had a true multipurpose gun in WWII, but derped it up:( So you could have a guy run up with DP-27 at his hip while firing it, then drop to the ground, change "pan" and continue shooting while his №2 catches up and they either install next magazine and move or they install adapter and belt. Likewise when you're out of belts, you just remove adapter and continue using magazines, which are easily reloaded on site by taking ammo from guys with rifles. Sounds familiar? ;) Sadly I know how to make it a better GPMG, not how to make it better LMG. I feel that although DP-27 is good in it's own right, it's a dead end as LMG. You can't go beyond DPM with it.
    1
  2728.  @nikitajukov4915  but... it already is a double feed MG, isn't it?:D They literary did the same as with DShK(D stands for Degtyarov) and mounted adapter on same Degtyarov system. It was just not removable in the field. I was comparing RP-46 with "enabled dual feed" to M249... minus heavy weight due to different caliber. Basically SAWs. I wouldn't say that MG-34 is that different from DS-39(and especially tank variant of it). It just lacks pistol grip and stock(not in tank variant) to turn it from medium machine gun to universal one. We often fear for sanity of guys in logistics, but they can somehow handle US M1 naming convention.

  2776. Yes, the future of shotguns is insane, but no, it has no connection to FPV drones. Using shotguns vs FPVs is just as "practical" as using shotguns to shoot out grenades from mid air in WWI ie great news story to make more boys join, but having ZERO connection to reality. The real future of shotguns is connected to them having high caliber, low velocity, low shock on projectile contents and being smoothbores. That always made them ideal for specialist munitions, similar to grenade launchers, mortars and howitzers in their respective weight classes. And what all those have? That's right, airburst, guided and rocket assisted two stage projectiles. Sometimes all at the same time. The future of shotgun is to adopt those techs and become bolter ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

And that's if we're optimistic and trusting about info on T-90 production not being connected to modernization of T-72B to T-72BU standard. It sure as heck would help explain how Russia is missing several thousand tanks that it supposedly has in active service. I would have been a bit more worried if we would have started seeing something along the lines of TR-85 Binozul or TO-120 or ZTZ-80 being introduced on T-55/62 production base to allow Russia to field truly expendable "people's tanks"😅

  2812.  @PeterMuskrat6968  You know why ISU-152 was the longest serving armored vehicle in soviet arsenal and why it's tracks were modernized to be compatible with T-10M ones? Because 152mm HE round had an interesting capability to drop brick 5 storey tall building in single shell. The other story from the same time, do you know what was the shell that was used 80% of the time by US tank destroyers in Italy in WWII? It was HE shell. Meanwhile AP and APCR shells were just sitting there, making up the majority of ammo load and never being used. This one has a bit of connection to aforementioned by another commenter fact that NATO views the prime task of MBTs to hunt other MBTs, however they didn't mention that every other NATO vehicle is also tasked with carrying ATGM and hunting MBTs. And it was these ATGMs that wrecked havoc upon T-72's on multiple occasions, not APFSDS rounds that were riding in ammo storage for 40 years without use. It's also funny how for the last 20 years US was stuck in conflicts with barely any AFVs on opposing side and yet it was once again driving around APFSDS in ammo storages. The situation was comical enough that US army had ordered development and fielded a shrapnel round BEFORE it had "stooped down" to file an order for delivery of already existing HE ammo. Though you can argue that inability to get ammo matching the challenges of new urban combat environment indirectly led to lower civilian casualties. So there's at least some good in it. HE round can also be equipped with programmable fuze to work in different modes, including HESH. Which one is more effective against concrete? I'm not going to make a conclusion to these random data points I've mentioned, just let you dwell on if there is anything they have in common with the topic. P.S.: unlike APFSDS, HE ammo doesn't lose effectiveness with range. On modern battlefield with proliferation of FPV drones, tank commander can observe and lead his shot over distances far beyond normal combat ranges for tungsten and DU rods.

  2875.  @Salesman9001  my problem with Chauchat here is that 1)it was made before mass introduction of welding and increase in quality of stamping both of which would have helped lower prices further; 2)it's long recoil. With gas system. Not something you'd call cheap and simple; 3)it's borderline LMG at best. Battle rifle/automatic rifle on most accounts instead. The interest is primarily born out of "what can partisans come up with and produce?" It's simpler with pistols, bolt actions and SMGs, we have a lot of examples of those. But here it's only Chauchat, Besal(I've heard Dror also had undergone simplification, but the goal wasn't to make a cheaper gun though) and maybe some conversions like Huot(which will require adaptation to specific captured rifle types). But at least for french resistance if they'd finally decided to go serious on levels of yugoslavs and poles, Chauchat would have been a best option considering it's already a french design. However Chauchat was never updated in my memory after it's two botched attempts at WWI. And then Ian releases this video. About exactly that, updated Chauchat.

  2892.  @Fruzhin5483  the funniest part isn't even that. Combined with earlier usage of 25mm naval autocannons on same MTLBs implies that russians are stripping and maybe even cutting down ships to "win" in this purely land based(for now) conflict. Old ones first of course, but that implies that their navy is shrinking rapidly from their stated paper numbers to far smaller real numbers of actually new, crewed and maintained vessels. Imagine germans being kicked so hard in 1940 that they decided to strip down Bismark for its secondary guns?

  2893.  @DaCouchWarrior  yep. Well, technically speaking that thing isn't that far removed from Mattress at all, it's the sonar, firing computer and reloading device that made RBU-6000 more modern systems.

Now look at Kamov landing in the video. Not only it's always filmed in good weather, the landing pad is covered in net designed to catch helicopter AFTER it crashes. Americans prevent crash, russians catch the debris. You can drive a car without seatbelt, airbags and collision sensor too btw. And none of those were invented in Russia either.

Basically look up Moscow 2016 parade, that's how slat armor SHOULD look(except it should cover the top too). Now look at images of russian tanks invading Ukraine and ask yourself why they look so different. That's why they're called cope cages - because they're ineffective due to being made and used wrong. And when person tries to equal cope cages to slat armor you can usually tell that they're simping for Putin a bit too much ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

  2908. Вместо мифологии возможно стоило бы нажать на рост уровня слежки и милитаризацию полиции и показать, что произошла слишком сильная эскалация конфликта между легальным и преступным миром. И что вместо открытой войны аля Дредд, произошло создание сего договора. А вследствие чего повышение качества услуг. В нашей реальности был период когда патрульные в США за свои деньги покупали штурмовые винтовки и бронежилеты более высокого класса, просто для того, чтобы не отстать в гонке вооружений с наркоторговцами, а рейды ничем не уступали перестрелкам где-нибудь в Сирии. Если полиция в мире Джона уже ничем не отличается от морпехов, то и спрос на местных балбесов, которые не умеют стрелять не повернув пистолет на 90 градусов, но могут легко впутать полицию уже гораздо меньше. А если гражданские не страдают о сравнению с открытой войной прошлого десятилетия и не требуют срочно вмешаться, то пусть киллеры мочат друг друга и своих клиентов да заказчиков. Ну, а повышение доли рынка и спроса на профессионализм привело к формированию Континенталя... но увы, бэк писать им было некогда:D

  2915.  @nattygsbord  France had better EVERYTHING in terms of military, maybe just in terms of planes germans could compete, not be superior, mind you. The problem is that France had allies that sold them out, a goverment that sold them out and an ability to sell out a part of population to germans while the rest could keep living their lives pretty normal. And that is how the strongest military industrial power in the world at 1940 fell. And why on the contrary Russia held Moskow, Leningrad and Stalingrad, why Germany was fighting even when soviets were approaching Berlin and why it was a mercy for all sides to use nukes to give Hirohito an excuse to capitulate instead of prolonging the mess. Funnily enough, that's exactly pre-WWI french own belief ie that superior will can win over superior tech, which was mostly proven wrong, but at the same time still shows up from time to time.

  2919.  @simcoebackcountry5998  it can, but it's a really borderline case for HMG. 14.5*114 uses the same case as 23mm autocannon rounds(based on it). So technically it weight as autocannon, has the size of autocannon and kicks like autocannons. It's awesome, but you kind of have to mount it like 20mm auto. So it would be a massive mount, likely motorized. And in most cases you won't be mounting it onto something small like Hilux either(though Taliban even mounted 23mm twin autocannons on Toyota and those trucks kept going). What I mean is - 14.5*114 is easily more powerful the .50BMG, but at that point you can mount 20-23mm autocannon for better result.

  2922.  @mansonsacidtrip6862  probably. But I'd say that opposite is also true. Invasion of Cuba? Their idea and false information. Number of soviet missiles on Cuba, in general, their range and capability to stay in ready state for longer then 3 days? Inflated by ORDERS of magnitude by CIA, we literary had around 10-20% of numbers of missiles their reports had, our gyroscopes were running themselves to death in 3-5 days if missile was in ready for launch state, we had barely any missiles capable of reaching US,even some missiles in Cuba were too short ranged and we were behind on production so not every missile had a proper warhead. From Khrushev's position it was a massive bluff, if we were called for it we would have to pass or worse, if push came to shove we would be wiped out. And yet, it worked. Missiles in Turkey were removed, US-USSR relations started to balance out and... then Khrushev was removed by stalinist reactionaries. They even wanted to declare him a traitor and all documents that were showing the atrocities of Stalin as falsified ones. I wonder if they had wished to restart the camps too then? Almost pulled a Mao there:D But thankfully it was far too late to pull the breaks on destalinization.

Every slave and serf prosecuted in human history was also prosecuted according to laws of the time. While it makes them legitimate "targets" in your eyes, in mine it still means that 99% of people ever prosecuted by regimes were bloody innocent from moral point of view simply by the sheer amount of victims, time passed and how bs was the justification behind "laws" put in by threats and bloodshed alone.

With 4 currently returning and rumours of finally replacing Kuznetzov maybe they'd actually go for that formula of two groups with 1 carrier and 2 Kirovs as capital ships. You have also skipped over the part where Kirov is designed to protect the coast. So it'll engage under the cover of land based cruise missiles and planes. Meanwhile US carrier groups are purely offensive creation, a sign of peacefull nation that has no problem calling itself a superpower. Want to learn a lesson from japanese ships? Lesson one - don't skip on firefighting training on a carrier, especially when you allow the fuel to evaporate and collect on lower deck in gas form, lesson two - don't underestimate the subs, build more destroyers to counter them and build more of your own. As you can guess, this references a particular string of lost CARRIERS, not battleships that were anchored and never used:P

  2957.  @wifegrant  Ramadan is one of the most popular examples of how religion can be exploited in alternate history scenarios for some sort of a practical gain since it's such a massive number of people unified in same purpose. The most common examples I've heard is either exploiting it as propaganda of education(ie make a handwritten book a part of pilgrimage ritual) or some sort of public works(ie a brick for each person sort of way). No idea if nowadays something like that can be achieved since Islam is divided to no end.

As do modern Lithuania and Ukraine, who were part of Commonwealth with you. As do UK and France that had gone to war over you. Haha, Phoney War, haha, so funny. Because it's also a sovereign land of Poland now?

Monarchists known as Whites demanded the return of all the freed countries like Poland back into russian hands, return on debts that were claimed from Russia over war equipment of low quality at inflated prices, get a cut off the war reparations that were supposed to go to Russia and cut of lands of Central Powers. Instead you've made everything to maximize amount of russians killed, blamed Armenian Genocide on them(check Churchill's memoires) and try to "evacuate" ie steal Russia's gold reserve, biggest in the world at that time. And then you make a surprised Pikachu face?:D Good God, sometimes I feel lucky that you've antagonized Russia and willingly chose to lay under China. Yeah, they'd treat you the way you deserve.

Jets, engines, transport planes, autocannons, ammo, SPAA, body armor. All except jet engines are bought because they pity russians? Or maybe Russia can suddenly undersell with lower cost compared to chinese production? Or maybe, just maybe, chinese have actual production and development trouble meanwhile their superiors have fetish for soviet stuff and bought into false advertisements? P.S.: I'm willing to give PLA the benefit of the doubt just because they didn't fall for Su-25 fallacy and instead continued with their own MiG-27 equivalent - JH-7.

  2974.  @smitty6480  except all those tech companies would just run to Ireland and other tax havens. US needs to introduce capital laws akin to those used in Taiwan, South Korea and Japan to preserve national wealth. Then next step is reforming educational and healthcare system as well as introducing customer protection and labor laws inspired by working examples from ANZAC and EU. Only inspired in both cases as copying laws of another country with different history and culture won't work. But it still won't matter if the international focus won't change to cooperation instead of trying to dominate and screw over even close allies.

  2975.  @smitty6480  they're ALREADY evading taxes. In fact were doing so for decades. Those that actually produce and sell their products on US soil have harder time doing so, but there are still plenty of methods. So raising taxes isn't as an important step as simply forcing the fuckers to pay what they should have already and what everyone else much poorer then they are were already doing for decades! If not centuries. A common theme.

  2980. @Roughman Volley sights survived until late 20's in fact. However I'd say they were obsolete after Crimean/American Civil War. And no, not because of machine guns alone. Back then machine gun was more of an artillery piece, remember? It was because of MAGAZINE rifles. Henry, Winchester and Vetterli to be specific.
    1
  2981. @Roughman Battle of Little Bighorn is still picked apart today on whether Henry was superior to 1873 cavalry carbine and taken part in the overall outcome as one of decisive factors. If it was that simple, there would have never been such a question asked, not to mention researched. Vetterli was not only adopted, it was MADE to the specifications of Swiss army. And won the competition. Not to mention it's long service and huge geography of usage also raises a fair point.
    1
  2982. @Roughman 1)it signifies the afterthought of this discussion. You wanted an example of if those rifles were effective. They were. 2)look up Vetterli magazine since you've just clearly stated that you're oblivious to any connections of the design. And you'll see how Henry and Winchester are connected to it. And the ammo it used. The ammo you complained about previously. Henry's magazine is what brought repeating rifles into the light instead of being revolver jokes. You've also tried to skip on service length and what other armies used Vetterli.

  2984. As in we will be paying for it and producing it domestically? Leo2A7V. Followed by putting Leopard 2 turret, suspension and engine onto T-14 hull(yes, I basically copied the steps China took to get ZTZ99A from T-80U and Leo2). Leopard 2 and T-72 are most streamlined for production designs at this point. If you don't have money to spare and at the same time don't have delusional dreams of world domination, they're the best shot you have. Because they're cheapest and only ones a country without at least half a century old tank industry can hope to produce if licensed. All others on the list can only be bought. You wouldn't even be able to produce spare parts for most of them. P.S.: Abrams is good contender, but DU armor is hard to produce and maintain.

Now increase number of boarders to 50 people. You're one of 12 crewmen, would you oppose 50 buff guys with knives? You yourself highlight obvious parts of its civilian construction like lack of armor. I didn't see guns on the ship either, I've seen explosive charge projectors with very small range and nonexistant accuracy which clearly wouldn't work as weapons in space. Support? You mean drilling drones that have no ranged weapons of their own? Shield that works only for area denial to keep natives away from prospector's camp like an electric fence would with humans from 10000BC? I also haven't seen personal weapons, only exosuits for handling heavy cargo and protecting from enviroment. Or how they constantly leave humans to regroup or run away once they were "scared off". Face it, even if by accident on screenwriters and directors parts, aliens in the movie are civvies that came for geological studies. They've lost their communications vessel in collision with local sattelite and they had no idea if it was an accident or if it was shot down. What would you do in their place? Try to restore communication and call for help, while doing your best to protect yourself from natives. Even if that means weaponizing dynamite sticks and nailguns you had. Because the only thing that separates majority of tools from being (mostly bladed and blunt) weapons is ONLY the intent of the user. Pliers might not work, but screwdriver was born for good shanking;)

  2993. Yeah, sure, the fact that those are dinos(on supersoldier steroids) would certainly make the logic be different from usual zoo... the problem is that not in the way you guys claim. There is a difference between handling a tugboat and a post-Panamax cargo ship, but most rules would still be universal and dictated by logic. Designing your facilities in such a way that you DON'T have to force your employes to carry loaded guns 24/7 just to have a chance not to be eaten is one of them. As noted by Project Genesis playerbase, if T-Rex is too dangerous then you should design a cage that takes into account... and keep it overfed... and drugged... maybe lobotomize it... breaking it's knees might also work...

Linear progression works great for guns like D-25, who achieve their kinetic energy by mass and thus don't lose much of it on longer distances. But guns that rely solely on velocity like german 5cm AT gun, would really be screwed over(unless they take short range data as basis, but then the gun would have too much penetration at long ranges)

  3009. Degtyarev was a great designer... who sadly wasn't a fan of finishing, refining and fixing his designs. He could have made a belt feed adapter for DP-28 just like Shpagin did for his(Degtyarov's) DK turning it into renowned DShK(deserving or not is different question), but instead he chased new medal for new gun aka DS-39. Which wasn't ready neither for adoption, nor for mass production. Imagine if soviet troops had RP-46 in 1941? Gunner being able to use drums on the move and switch to belt feed when he gets into position and assistant gunner with adapter and belts catches up?

Do you get triggered by me mentioning field guns? Go get some sleep and then come back. Field artillery isn't used for indirect fire, divisional artillery is. Reason? Field artillery usually uses 75-76mm shells and you can't see their explosions beyond 4km. That's why germans were conducting R&D into switching their field guns to 84mm, that's why soviets experimented with 85-95mm field guns, that's why british employed 25 pounder and loved it. And no, despite soviet claims, ZiS-3 was a field gun, not divisional one. You can mount optics on a hunting shotgun, but that won't make it a sniper rifle.

Though one could say that we're witnessing the dusk of MBTs as a classification norm since even medium tanks are having a resurgence.

  3025. ​ @walle7284  apparently if Biden loses US will exit NATO and nuke itself. Because I don't see how it'll otherwise affect support to Ukraine. Support to Ukraine is tied to people seeing any point in NATO on international stage to begin with. Remember Budapest Memorandum? There are many questions of whether there is anything behind any promises of upholding freedom and democracy on global stage and Ukraine is example of when US is expected to show if it's all empty talks or not. Because if it is, then who stops a guy, who'd come after Putin to conquer the whole world by consuming a Ukraine sized chunk of territory every 5 years on different borders of Russia? What would stop other authoritarian regimes? In Korea it was UN, who stopped Stalin after he already helped Mao in 1945-1949, tried to take over Yugoslavia by eliminating Tito and had over a dozen other "adventures" after WWII. Will US try to coordinate UN response now?

People wanting to live despite living in an era long before antibiotics. River Gang is(or rather was) one of the few naturally occuring habitats for bacteriophage colonies ie viruses that specifically hunt and kill bacteria. They weren't known in the west for a few generations, but finally after collapse of USSR Poland and several other former Warsaw Pact member had finally translated the century of research data to anglophiles:D Nowadays they are used in cases when bacteria in question have high tolerance to antibiotics or immunity to most common antibiotics. In case of antibiotics collapse(ie most common bacteria in the wild get immune to all available forms of antibiotics due to their overuse in animal farming by corporations) they are your best hope. Problem is that they're slow to grow and also need to be specialized to work at their best. Which combined means that almost nobody has a ready supply of them. Except Russia. Part of soviet legacy is to keep a ready bank of those for most common bacterial diseases in case of disaster. Poland probably had one as well, but idk if they kept it going.

  3042. Chieftain, you probably won't see this, but: Is there a merit of mounting Wiesel 1 autocannon arrangement onto Leopard 2 tanks in case of "low intensity conflicts" where the height of the tanks isn't as detrimental and usage of main gun may not be advised at all? I mean, it's a ready module, just install the whole mount onto the (commander) hatch. Boom, 2 hours of work, done, a week in testing, ready. So why not? Or is NATO and IDF experience say that it isn't a good idea?

  3055. Now that my YT stopped dying (because mobile version sucks for the last 4 years straight), let me elaborate a little bit. It DOES disturb people outside US. Because US just like Switzerland and Israel are one of the few examples of armed population not being a disaster. And unlike the other two, without military involvement. For a LOT of countries it is important as an example that can be used to argue in favor of certain legislations. The whole mess going on right now wouldn't be happening if Poland, Ukraine, Belarus and Russia had armed populace. So when US decides to have a nother brainfart and shoot itself in the leg it kind of DOES invalidate a certain line of arguments important to state with either authoritarian history or/and with insane neighbours. But here we instead have policy on "it's okay to arm 18 year old boys to kill other kids because we said so, but allowing guns for self defense is a big no-no". Worst part? Even after Putin, Lukashenko and so on, we'd still most likely not going to scrape back the right to bear arms from whichever state comes next.

  3059.  @JonathanFergusonRoyalArmouries  AKM is used here as an example of: 1)AKM was renowned assault rifle with intermediate cartridge that had proven succesfull back then. NATO was stuck with brilliant G3, fine FAl and FN49 and... M14 that was there. For a few decades. For european armies it didn't mean all that much 2)AKM is aĺso an example of how much time was invested to work out all the quirks of AK. So you can expect the same time for EM-2 to mature. UK might have better specialists, higher budget and better production quality, but it's also working with less tested round and more complex design; 3).280 British is a first gen intermediate round just like 7.62x39. Somewhere along the way the bullet caliber would have to drop to 6.5 or around 5.5 we are used to this days(maybe it'l be 5.56, maybe some other one close to it) and the bullet modernized. However it'll be closer to 5.45x39 in the way it could be done. Ie new standart intermediate NATO round would be 6.5x43 or 5.5x43 or whatever. ^that is why I mention AKM. Not because of design, but because of history and idea behind the design changes. Do I need to explain why I mentioned SA-80 too? But yes, the only ones who fought to benefit from new round, would be americans... and they slowpoked too much due to reliance on M1 and M1 anyway.

After all M14 was second generation AR, not first gen like Sturmgewehr or first plus like AK, AKM and EM-2 while proper marksmen rifles that would replace M14 were decades away.

People blame Khrushev for Cuban Crisis, but that man consolidated all the available resources to get USSR a retaliation capability and THEN used said technological potential not for war, but to create majority of positive political and reputation reserve USSR enjoyed through its existence with space program and his visits to USA. Meanwhile post-WWII era under Stalin was nonstop provocations of one proxy war after another. And while USSR did support NVA, it had neither provoked the conflict, nor take part in it directly, nor undermined everyone and planned to conquer the region like PRC. If the world was unlucky enough to have a doctor with very low morals around that door in 1953, whole of Asia(and likely a lot of Africa and South America) would have been divided and drowned in blood like Korea:( Но нет же, ..ять, Хрущев у них "кукурузник", а Сталин святой.

They were able to design and build such technological marvels as I-400(yes, the idea of underwater carrier is a bit wonky, but just replace it with extra fuel and torpedoes and you'd get biggest cruiser submarine of WWII with highest independent operational range), but completely failed to both find a use for them and understand the need for protecting against them. In many regards Japan acted similar to pre-WWI mindset to warfare that technology doesn't matter that got millions killed even before WWII.

  3083. "Who would wash in this filthy toxic river?" Well, nowadays it would be poor uneducated population clinging to tradition. Originally? People wanting to live despite living in an era long before antibiotics. River Gang is(or rather was) one of the few naturally occuring habitats for bacteriophage colonies ie viruses that specifically hunt and kill bacteria. They weren't known in the west for a few generations, but finally after collapse of USSR Poland and several other former Warsaw Pact member had finally translated the century of research data to anglophiles:D Nowadays they are used in cases when bacteria in question have high tolerance to antibiotics or immunity to most common antibiotics. In case of antibiotics collapse(ie most common bacteria in the wild get immune to all available forms of antibiotics due to their overuse in animal farming by corporations) they are your best hope. Problem is that they're slow to grow and also need to be specialized to work at their best. Which combined means that almost nobody has a ready supply of them. Except Russia. Part of soviet legacy is to keep a ready bank of those for most common bacterial diseases in case of disaster. Poland probably had one as well, but idk if they kept it going.

  3089.  @jamesgornall5731  mostly yes. Though a lot of tanks were lost back in 2014-2015. But here comes the difference - Ukraine was restoring all available tanks and training crews since said 2014, for 8 years. And you can see that number pop up a lot, for example in mentions of numbers of trained infantrymen with combat experience. Ukraine had put several rotation of conscripts through "low intensity" conflict on border with occupied territories. That's the reason they held to begin with, they were preparing for Russia to try the second time. Sadly preparing not as competently as they should have goven the size of the opponent, but given the circumstances, it's hard to blame them. The other point worth mentioning is how Russia and all other operators of soviet equipment use them differently. You might have heard about why non-russian T-72 suffer ammo explosions less frequently - they leave ammo only in autoloader as Morozov himself intended. 22 rounds out of maximum capacity of 48, less then a half(numbers from my memory, if I recall right those are for T-80). Russian officers don't want to deal with logistics and organize the supply truck delivery of extra ammo so they load tanks with ammo to the brim. So any penetration is a guaranteed turret flip. It was that way in Chechnya, it was that way in Georgia, in Syria and in Ukraine. Crews KNOW that they shouldn't do it for their own safety, but officers apparently don't care about crews ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

  3090.  @SpaceCowboyfromNJ  that's why I proposed .220 Swift which is basically a beefier 5.56 in terms of velocity and ballistics(though cartridge size and weight is comparable to .308 so hauling ammo would still be an ass). Problem of .30 carbine as "cut off" round as you've suggested it is that it is still following pistol and revolver ammo philosophy. Slow, heavy, round nose. Contrast it to ammo used in Five-Seven or P90 which is pistol ammo designed like down scaled rifle one. So it's the same trouble as in case of "where do HMGs stop and autocannons begin", it depends on the personal views:D

Holds up P90 "And this is a plastic toy that is good only in videogames and in marketing brochures."

  3094.  @thelandofnod123  weapon of war that is fragile and requires regular maintenance, needs ammo produced only on handful of factories on Earth, has no capability to stun or disintegrate matter on third shot? I'm yet to see anyone explain how P90 is better then Zat. One of the theories as to why rebels were provided with P90's is simply because it was binding them to Earth(or rather specifically US) authority. That's why it's not Glocks, FALs, AKMs and UZIs that can be easier to repair and can even be manufactured with limited industrial capability(if gunsmith of Khyber Path, chinese warlord era and illegal gunsmiths in Philippines can do that to some degree of success and abhorrent quality, jaffa would be able to find tooling too).

  3095.  @thelandofnod123  Tealc has decades of experience with staff and he have never maintained it, he has no idea what happens when O'Neill disassembles staff for component to power the gate enough to get to Ida galaxy. That's also the answer to how much energy one has, later seasons needed ZPM(or network bridge) for such a feat:P Over the course of the series SG-1 had captured more then enough Goa'uld equipment to arm rebels, equipment that was never retrofitted into a "better usable form". What weapons would Jaffa rebels desert with? Staff, zat and other Goa'uld ones. What will they capture? The same? Tooling for what will they capture? The same again? What they know how to use? Those exact things. What they actually lack? Indirect fire capability since Goa'uld relied on fleet for that and even staff cannon on its tripod still fires without arc. And yet they give them P90 instead of design that can be put into production by rebels ASAP, they give them a weapon that would rely on supplies from Earth. Which can be cut off. Weapon that fills PDW role only. That Zat fills too.

  3096.  @thelandofnod123  "A P90 is a much more effective weapon that can be built and maintained more easily" I don't recall Jaffa rebels having mass production of plastics, do you? Specify ease of maintenance and how exactly is P90 better then guns like AKM or Lee Enfield or UZI or FAL. "It's also pretty perfect for rebels tactics or at least good enough." Enemy at 600m, your response? I don't recall Jaffa rebels being tanker crews either. There is an anvil - staff, zat and other Goa'uld equipment that operates wonderfully in movie, first episode it appears in or in hands of protagonists. And there is a hammer - last 200 years of firearms technology and tactics that can provide an isolated rebel force with far better options then a crate of P90 you have to beg for. You failed to defend P90 from either. But don't worry, you're not alone!:))

They should have sent Grants to USSR instead of Lee's, left side doors to ease escape since armor wasn't holding either way by that point and specifically mention NOT to use it as medium alongside T-34-76. Then it might have gotten a better reputation.

They only ever heard of arabs and even that only because US fought them so now DEI idolises arabs and projects them on all the muslims. Spoiler alert: biggest muslim country in the world is Indonesia and they're sane people, who want to be left alone. Muslims=/=arabs.

  3120. @pissedpajamas5718 or QJB-95 75 round drum. Or using same NATO drum on FAMAS. They all suck. Because drums on bullpups don't work because human anatomy is a thing. Bullpups are made to minimise the dimensions of the gun while retaining somewhat usable barrel length. Drums are opposite of that. It's like assembling the best .338 sniper rifle you can... and then cutting barrel to 5 inches. That's the same level of logic. Or rather of its absence.

  3122.  @nikik5567  continuos increase in military strength in terms of both quality and quantity>continuos status of superpower,inflation of ego and feeling of being unaccountable for whatever you do>less hesitation to pull of shit like kidnappings, coups, assassinations, invasions and so on. Just parallel Russia's willingness to act like nobody can stop it before 2008 and after 2014. Or how Hitler acted after each new conquest. New weaponry helps your military remain as one of the strongest which allows you three to keep superpower status which results in you viewing other countries only in terms of your spheres without any hesitation or chance of prosecution. New chinese navy, new russian tanks and new american rifles basically scream "Run, you fools!" to any small country that doesn't want to immediately suck 3 cocks at the same time(if it ends up in all 3 spheres like Middle East does).

He hadn't had the experience of living through Stalin's rule himself so most of his experience is based on his experience in Spain which was a "test site" not only for new military tech and tactics, but also for propaganda and ideology. Collapse, infighting, oppression of ideas. Adding "screen that looks back at you" isn't that much of a stretch and is mostly a continuation of idea of "country of prisoners and guards".

  3131. Speaking of which, if we assume that you are armed with a battle rifle that has proper length to it, have full sized bayonet(for example you fight in jungle and thus your government made some weird machete bayonet) and have gotten close enough to an enemy that it's viable(again, jungle), is that even viable when both of you might have body armor? Even if not a modern one, wouldn't it make the outcome of bayonet charge a bit uncomfortable, both physically for them since they won't be hurt much, just bruised a little, and mentally for you since that performance ended up being quite shameful despite all your screaming, running and exertion that put you out of breath. Quite an awkward situation. Of course it's the situation that also assumes that both of you lack intermediate ammo chambered full auto capable compact carbines and that your superiors cheapened out on providing their lowest ranks with a sidearm.

  3150.  @JohnSmith-of2gu  idk about ships, but on tanks rule of thumb is 20% less efficient and it's better to have a thinner plate that you can space away from thicker plate. However tanks don't deal with plunging fire... most of the time. So an option with two plates half the thickness is a definite no and option with best you can make plus extra needs said extra to be thicker then you initially expect. Plus said outer plate won't hold for long.

  3151.  @kemarisite  yes, but that yielded results in 1942(plus time to develop it). Flak 18/36(both of 8,8cm and 3,7cm variety) were available to copy in 1937-1938. IJA produced almost a thousand 8,8cm ones for their own use from 1938 onwards so there were free engineers capable of doing reverse engineering available. And I'd say that while Bofors is a better gun, having Flak 18/36 from 1938+ onwards is better then having 40/60 in 1942+ onwards.

  3163. It won't. Even if Ukraine gets money to restore it industry after the war and there would be a national drive to rebuild Mrya, it won't be An-225 anymore. Technology marched forward. It'll use bigger engines available on the market and that'll lead to redesigned engine gondolas, which would lead to different wing root and combined to different looking wing. New avionics would lead to redesigned cockpit. And no need to carry Buran would lead to different tail. New plane won't be An-225 in any way, shape or form. It'll be a new plane build to honor Mrya and inspired by her, but it won't be her :(

  3164.  @franciszeklatinik889  they proved awesome! I especially like the idea of automatic fuze setter used on it. It's a pity that during interbellum navies had gone away from it to lower calibers with higher velocities and fuze setter was completely dropped instead of refined. And then in 1943-1945 we see navies all over the world return to 40mm with Bofors anyway(Brits still used some Pom-Pom "orchestras", but those were more of an exception). Refining fuze setter would have allowed them to use those autocannons in manner similar to nowadays programmable fuze ammo on SPAA in calibers that are too small for VT fuzes. Sadly for many sailors and thankfully for many pilots, it wasn't done.

  3193.  @REgamesplayer  russians weren't designing completely new tanks since then and until T-14 either, Cap. But depending on how you treat rebranding of T-72BU into T-90 after catastrophic losses in Desert Storm just to get away from T-72 name and Black Eagle mockup on T-80 chassis, they did. Because they claim both were completely new vehicles so their design choices weren't inherited from T-72 and T-80 specifically;) So by russian's own marketing materials for their weapons exports, they did exactly what you claim they didn't. Or did they lie to us? How shocking would that be!:D
    1
  3194.  @REgamesplayer  here is the thing, you have to choose. You can't claim that T-90 is both a completely new tank and a modification of old design. Same goes for Black Eagle. I know, it must be hard for someone like you to comprehend why you can't sit on both chairs, but you should try.

Meaning even T-90M is still designed with the 1960 idea of low target profile... just because deep down it's still just a glorified T-64 produced because designing completely new tank was inconvenient. If you copy an integral feature over and over and over again, it DOESN'T vanish, sorry, Cap, seems you're not much of a Cap:D

  3212. 1)WWII started in 1937 with Sino-Japanese War and americans were supplying chinese with weapons, other equipment and provisions, putting embargo on Japan and having reporters cover the events in the news. What was Poland doing in 1937-1938? Demonstrating the most incompetent foreign policies imaginable by helping Germany put a squeeze on czechs. 2)Finland realised the importance of military readiness, while Poland in 1939 had a parade military. When UK advisors told polish high command to retreat and entrench behind rivers, poles said that they know better. Finns meanwhile accepted all the advice they could get and already incorporated most of it beforehand because they were competent. 3)in 1991 Poland, Ukraine, Georgia, Romania and many other finally independent Warsaw Pact and USSR states had a chance to create a joint military commission to modernize their militaries and provide a competition to russian arms industry on global market. You preferred your petty squabbles instead. Instead all we hear about are fake projects like PL-01 that are aimed to steal budget funds. 4)Russia already attacked 2 GUAM members and haven't attacked Moldova only because Ukraine held. For now. If it keeps holding, they'll attack it again in 4 years. After that their sights would be on Baltics. Will Poland help defend Baltics, all of which ARE NATO members? Idk. But what I do know is that when russian cruise missile hit polish farmers, you've lied about it being ukranian SAM, which can't even glide and is optimized for fragmentation ie there would be no tractor left. You lied because you didn't want conflict with Russia. So where does that leave us, eh? After decades polish government decided to finally have military budget, but it remains to be seen if all those weapons bought from US and South Korea would help you get an actual military or if it'll be a parade one like in 1939. And if your foreign policy attitude has changed or if you'll help Russia put a squeeze on Baltics when it'll attack. You scream on top of your lungs about remembering lessons of history instead of getting up and DOING something. I'll believe it when I see it.

While you were busy helping Germany throw czechs under the bus and pose as military power instead of preparing. You guys wanted to throw blames in this comment section, so let's do that, let's go. Let's discuss how Poland did all it could to throw away it's independence in 1930's. From foreign policy fiascos to procurement fiascos to production fiascos to high command fiascos. Let's go!

  3214.  @peterj5083  kiddo, since you have internet, I'll give you simple directions - open Wikipedia, open WWII article, open list of conflicts that comprised WWII, open Second Sino-Japanese War in that very list and look at when said conflict started. It's 1937. If you disagree with that, all the pages have sources listed below. You're free to send letters describing your disagreement with them to all the (still living) authors. Until then, WWII started in 1937 and lasted until 1945(though some may say that WWII didn't truly end until Korean War). And as south and east asian economies grow, more people there can afford higher education, more and more historians would have more incentive to not focus on Europe alone, more and more sources would admit that it was 1937.

I haven't visited Poland in almost 20 years, but that crap wasn't as widespread back then. Some people I was with even talked russian and there was no shit flinged at them for that. If you haven't watched the news, Putin is preparing for invasion of Ukraine right now. Likely with "lawful"(ie allowed by mustached ass on the throne) occupation of Belarus to use it as a way to encircle ukranians from the north. If you think it's bad, you haven't been following the media in last few weeks. Russians are pulling no stops on their propaganda campaign.

Do I treat them the same too? People in-between?(though I admit I developed a certain degree of disgust at people who claim to "not be interested in politics and neutral" over past decade) Or do you mean governments?

  3272.  @MyPrideFlag  My bet is on actual invasion sadly. And knowing russians, on Christmas/New Year period when NATO countries would have lowered response capability. Putin didn't warn anybody. Ukraine didn't notice it either. It was US satellites, who noticed the forces movement and construction of "frontline" roads along the border. US warned Ukraine and raised alarm. Nobody else had the same satellite group capability to notice it. So Putin DID intend to keep it low profile. It isn't anymore, yes. But the initial intent WASN'T a show. At least not a show intended for Ukraine since they wouldn't have noticed... P.S.: and if they would escalate conflict to invade through Belarus to crush political "opposition"(considering cockroach lost the elections, I'm not sure whom is opposition to whom now;) on the rise and to open second northern front for Ukraine, then it can probably escalate to amassing forces near Kaliningrad/Konigsberg-Belarus corridor, which is where Russia can cut of Lithuania and the rest of the Baltics from ground support from NATO. And damned "latvians" would probably be even happy for that:(

Last ditch british weapons. From a time when people believed that Sea Lion was a week away and all equipment was lost on the continent.

  3290. Except that their design philosophy is outdated in the world where thermals, drones and modern fire control exists. Completely outdated. Even China realized that that can't be allowed to continue like that and fixed many issues in their ZTZ99A like transmission having no real rear gears. And with T-14 Russia tried to jump over the wall of the maze and once again fell down. They can't design a working engine-transmission group, they can't get a reliable camera view and worst of all, their unmanned turret and crew capsule are completely pointless since they still use old autoloader and NO blow out panels ie they made a giant pressure cooker. Capsule can't protect the crew if pressure has no easier way to escape. That's basics! You can't have blow out panels on the bottom as it'll make the tank very weak to mines, can't do them in the sides as it'll make sides weaker, capsule is up front, engine in the back and on top of that giant bomb called ammo is an unmanned turret without panels either. They took budget and time and made situation worse! Tbh T-14 was an improvement in one direction - it no longer tries to pointlessly minimize target profile at expense of crew comfort and overall design as if it's still 50's. It isn't, your tank would be seen and it can be hit. I'd say take T-14's hull, suspension(surprisingly no trouble there so at least something works as intended), beg chinese for help with getting a working engine/transmission unit and then go back to designing conventional turret with blow out panels for ammo and some breathing room for crew. Oh, wait, we've just reinvented Leopard II...

  3295.  @KameradVonTurnip  then like KV-1S, it's all the good parts and no downsides;) As long as you don't treat it as heavy tank and forget that it came out a bit late. And that it was called after a complete moron, who disliked tanks just to get project approved. A smart person knows that they have to 1)do maintenance; 2)survive. For this part, I'd rather pick something that isn't using either Christie suspension or interleaved roadwheels and somethings that is SPG that should be kept away from frontline, preferably american so that I'd have lunch and friendly airforce in the skies... sorry, got carried away.
    1
  3296.  @KameradVonTurnip  the simple takeaway is that Abrams was designed to hard counter late cold war soviet tanks before T-80U came out. It's bad in everything else as seen in Iraq and Afghanistan when it performs great in actual war, but is just a target during occupation since it's now Merkava. And it would have easily been obsolete by now 3 times over... had russians changed doctrine in past 30 years or at least mass produced tanks that were equal to modernized T-80U to be lowest common denominator in their tank force. But since majority of it is still made up by older vehicles and the thought process wasn't allowed to be changed... Abrams ends up in a world where greatest threat to it is exactly what it was designed to face. It's not ideal tank, it just happens to be very good and supposed opposition is stupid enough to face it on its terms. Tbh, knowing how many former soviet specialists found home in Israel and continued their work, I'd say there is an example one could point Russia at in terms of adapting and overcoming. But instead we'll see PRC learn and Russia decide not to.

IF the whole base is fake and all shiny clean and never used drones in it are props made to fool potential opponents because they expect Iran to be acting like a "parade-only"(ie one that wastes resources for parading instead of training and cares more about how clean vehicles and uniforms look instead of how well maintained and supplied they are) military power, then I would applaud them! But I doubt it's the case and believe that what we see here is sincere - hodge podged collection of different drone models that never seen combat in a no longer secret base that looks more like exotic car collection with no maintenance crews or equipment in sight:(

  3303.  @gunfisher4661  why would they clone it if Pershing is using torsion bar suspension inspired by KV-1 tests in Aberdeen and all soviets tanks since T-34-85 are using Mark.IV periscopes that were provided by Lend Lease? There is however a difference between recorded fact that can be easily checked and empty nationalistic claims of inventing everything that fuels fins, poles and many other nations that failed to become major again. Tokarev's history started in 1926, if I recall right. But my comment was based on other claims.

  3305.  @ArcturusOTE  well, professional soldiers are better trained in either case. For example I would not feel like staying around when a conscript would try to throw a grenade in combat situation. They will either drop it near, throw it backwards, decide to "cook it because they've seen it in a game", hit an obstacle or in classical comedy fashion throw the ring instead. Same with guns. Conscripts are the kind of people that look down the barrel to see if the gun is loaded while holding the trigger.

  3307.  @anzaca1  do you have any idea about the meaning of the word "except"? Shot down by whom? This is an era BEFORE radars. There would be NO early warning. Chemical attack without declaration of war can't be countered and only threat of mass retaliation would be holding it back. Threat that falls apart if the attacker uses thousands of bombers to attack and if you can't match their range to bomb them back.

И не в плане самой пули или более мощного ВВ в версии для ВКС. Нет, в плане габаритов. То есть пуля теперь не заглубляется в гильзу, а увеличивает общую длину СЦ-130 сверх стандартной! Камора ВССК видать телескопическая для разных патронов с разными пулями? И я даже не представляю как далеко эта инфа в таком виде разошлась. Рождение нового оружейного мифа прям таки.

  3318. Germany never fought with quality in WWII. Whole Axis COMBINED couldn't get a tech edge on USSR and UK. When USA too joined Allies it was over. Meanwhile during invasion into USSR the tagteam of Germany, Romania and Hungary outmanned USSR significantly. That's why the whole myth that all soviet officers were killed off comes from despite different years - soviet army grew over 6 times with fresh conscripts in 1940-41 in preparation to possible german agression(and to put a nail into coffin of "prepared to attack Germany first" myth, soviets were in the middle of rearmament which would end only in late 1943). Number of officers remained the same. Meaning that you suddenly got 6 times less trained officers per soldier. Hence the carastrophe of 1941 with lots of soldiers without command and orders.

As well as the fact that it has no foundation and he never wanted to get into an argument that would require supporting his point of view. Now about you, Mr."I've been there from the X". How exactly is War Thunder calculating if the hit broke the module? What is the name of a hidden attribute needed for the game mechanics to work? And what attribute was finally added to hull in mechanics known to you as hullbreak? What attribute being simply hidden allows idiots, who don't get how game mechanics work, to claim that it doesn't even exist? If you played both "for such a long time" and don't know even BASICS of ingame mechanics of either, then I doubt there is a point in even talking further.

So they are useless against ships with their own anti-air defenses and escorts. Meaning that the bomb discussed in the video is useful only against civilian targets. So, again, why would China bomb its own trade fleet?0_o

The plan was for the Moon base to be the place that could operate the longest in safety and command the coordinated defense and offense the longest thus ensuring that other side won't miraculously survive. Until MIRVs were banned it sadly made sense.

And however poor, they're still filling the role of a soldier at least as to an extent of forcing ukranians to waste ammo to drive them off or worse, handle POWs under fire from other russian forces without any idea if those POWs are hiding weapons and are only mocking surrender 乁⁠(⁠ ⁠•⁠_⁠•⁠ ⁠)⁠ㄏ You're forgetting one important detail - nobody making decisions in Russia plans to go to the front themselves. Or cares. Sadly history had proven many times over that there is a value of sending more men in direction of your enemy, however unprepared and unwilling they are. Meanwhile examples of such forces joining the other side and fighting their oppressors are mostly rare exceptions:(

  3355.  @djrug  I've read your comment 3 times, I still don't find the part where it both makes sense and contradicts what I've just said. Can you elaborate how requiring a niche between the rifle and pistol will make either approach to filling it wrong or why a pitol wouldn't be also a common starting point since it uses the same ammo? I also fail to see pistol in Beretta 38 or Danuvia 43 or in M1 Carbine.

  3356.  @djrug  moreover, you might have noticed that MP-5 continued to fill the role of smaller alternative in NATO that had erroneously followed automatic rifle only doctrine for a few decades, but how SMGs largely died out in Warsaw Pact since shortened ARs filled their rol(at least with AK-74 and AKS-74U since during original AK service some leftover PPS and PPSh SMGs were still in use).

I remind you that germans had lost their one and only chance to get an upper hand and ground RAF during Battle of Britain just because a few bombs fell on Berlin with borderline suicidal effort! And then they've changed priority of Luftwaffe to intercepting and bombing cities instead of airfields. They never had gotten close to grounding RAF since.

And unlike those it fires 23mm cannon rounds. Why remove when nowadays sensor and computing equipement finally became cheap, reliable and compact enough to repurpose the turret?

Problem is that 1)almost nobody knows what to do despite the constant first aid training in schools, on the jobs and so on; 2)many people lock up in usual "fight/flee" manner. The same people, who lock up when they need to run to save themselves too. In essence, please 1)at least listed to what trainer says on first aid courses; 2)please don't just stand there when you see a tree falling on you.

  3407.  @0neDoomedSpaceMarine  by same marging as original DK - by margin of DShKM existence. Which is itself further obsolete because NSV exists. And Kord makes that one obsolete. 12.7x108 had lived through 5 distinctive heavy machine guns of 2 different generations (DK-DShK-DShKM and NSV-Kord. Kord isn't exactly related to NSV, but they're part of the same generation. Technically you can make NSV-M with modern material and tooling and it would be no worse then Kord). DShK is part of the same old overweight, overcomplicated and build on compromises HMG generation as M2. So while you can make DShKM2 or something akin to M2A1, it's better to scrap them. Unless you are US and are somehow proud that they're still in service:D
    1
  3408.  @0neDoomedSpaceMarine  I mean that 1)Serbia isn't US. It has no reason to stay with M2 even for industrial tooling retention because it doesn't have it to begin with. Meanwhile it has stockpiles and production of 12.7x108mm ammo. Not guns, ammo. Which means that DShK is also a moot point. Better to switch to finnish or polish NSV or to buy russian Kord; 2)it's heavy enough that it is better to put 14.5x114mm HMG in it's place or in some cases 20-23mm autocannon. If you really need HMG. Sometimes the opposite is true and it's better to reevaluate the need for HMG and switch back to .308. It usually goes like this - Do you need .50? Do your need your .50 to be 12.7x99? Do you really want to have M2 as your gun in 12.7x99? It's hard to answer yes on all three of them. Yes, there are in fact more modern options even if you choose 12.7x99mm, singaporean CIS50MG for example.

  3409.  @ScottKenny1978  I haven't talked about rifles, I talked about caliber adoption of former Warsaw Pact states and allies into NATO states or allies and how sometimes people exchange more modern or better equipment for political points with new allies despite such decision having no basis in logistics or standardization as .50 is a pretty secluded caliber and there isn't much grief if you choose a different one unlike when you choose .223, .308 and 120mm where standardization with Alliance is very important. And vice versa, I guess?

  3423. @Muck Around sorry to say it, but they are different vehicles. The point of Pantsir was to get the price of missiles as low as possible hence why they have passive guidance. So they can't be better then Tunguska by definition, only cheaper to fire. You should also look for missile modifications, not vehicle ones. But yes, I'd agree, Tunguska is long for an upgrade, specifically programmable fuze and optical target acquisition system like on Su-35(though that one will probably cost as much as Tunguska itself). Both of which are required to intercept munitions properly and to operate without active radar in case the enemy™ has antiradiation missiles...

  3424. @Muck Around Nice of you to notice that it's different systems with different missiles. It means that missile of Tunguska is fire and forget one while missile of Pantsir is a dumb piece of shit that relies on parent vehicle to guide her to target.

  3435. Yes, the future of shotguns is insane, but no, it has no connection to FPV drones. Using shotguns vs FPVs is just as "practical" as using shotguns to shoot out grenades from mid air in WWI ie great news story to make more boys join, but having ZERO connection to reality. The real future of shotguns is connected to them having high caliber, low velocity, low shock on projectile contents and being smoothbores. That always made them ideal for specialist munitions, similar to grenade launchers, mortars and howitzers in their respective weight classes. And what all those have? That's right, airburst, guided and rocket assisted two stage projectiles. Sometimes all at the same time. The future of shotgun is to adopt those techs and become bolter ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

  3438. The fun part is that their answer sounds like General Liu Rifle... which was designed in 1914! The other fun part is that initial batch of the rifles and ALL the tooling were made in US and it was specifically set to be robust and produced at low quality manufacturing plants with unskilled labor en masse. All US army and cavalry had to do was to suggest General Liu to sponsor him getting replacement set of tooling for ROC instead of the one that drowned and get a license. Then mass produce tooling for US arsenals. But thankfully irl war didn't break out earlier and Garand was (mostly) on time.

They could have subverted it by having people from the future be sort of genestealers sabotaging modern day and all people sent to the future by force by orders of indoctrinated governments were just biomass for aliens to eat as well as sabotage of Earth ability to defend in current time. And third one it could have been a climate change antiwar movie where the twist would have been that there are no aliens, people from the future are just buying themselves a place on modern day world with their tech and in exchange government sends people, who blindly follow propaganda to the future where they won't be able to return.

  3489.  @Paul-ie1xp  I wasn't talking about 47mm APX gun though. That one was among the best ones in its class in the whole world.
    1
  3490.  @HingerlAlois  to be fair, this gun has maximum penetration from 45 to 65mm at 90 degrees at point blank depending on the source. And here comes two problems: 1)while it'll fall into AT rifle classification in german serive just as 2.8cm sPzB 41 I've mentioned, it wasn't one. You can't have two people carry it and it's ammo on their backs. Meanwhile existing AT rifles had achieved armor penetration of 45-50mm(soviet PTRS/PTRD. Lahti was a bit behind with 40-45). This mobility allowed AT rifles to easily flank tanks and to fire from upper floors of buildings. Soviet AT rifles forced germans to adopt side skirts on their tanks and were dangerous to most armored vehicles to the very end of the war. Because even Tiger can be shot at through engine ventilation grate from elevation. 2)as Ian had pointed out, it isn't AT gun either. As it's NOT dual purpose in any way. Majority of shells shot even by german and american AT gun and tank destroyer crews at late war were still HE shells. So all in all, it lacked the mobility of AT rifles while being close to them in power(I mean top examples, not Boys failure that originated from desire to cheap out on developement and use HMG derived bullets) at the same time as lacking an ability to counter other types of targets as well as have a reserve on armor penetration that'll last it through the war. The gun fell between two niches.

  3491. Not really. There's quality concerns, but they're usually NOT regulated because buyers need to hire inspectors themselves ie all the regulations don't care about quality and safety of housing at all to begin with. Most regularions thus are bs. And you forgot the main argument against your argument - duplexes, triplexes and other multi family homes. They're okay all over the world in countries with much stricter safety regulations. The only reason they're biased against in US is the whole idea that you may lower land value by building it.

  3506.  @teemuvesala9575  охуенные история, паря, а теперь все же вернёмся к реальности. A-10 never was spherical example of CAS in vacuum. The role of CAS in US military and navy structure in era of A-10 was filled by 3 dedicated CAS planes each having their own niche: A-10, Harrier and Corsair II. A-10 was never independent or best in this trio. In USSR we have abolished the role of pure attack aircraft after IL-40, basically IL-10 with jet engines. After that the multirole attack aircraft filled the role. Su-7/17/22. But then we decided that, hey, we can make precision weapons too, so why not make an attack plane DESIGNED for them? For that role MIG-27 was designed. Yes, it used MiG-23 as basis. Same as Corsair II was also based on fighter craft. Of course you didn't know that either. MiG-27 was designed to work in duo with heavier bomber/striker plane Su-25 with which it shared the engine and several types of avionics. While MiG-23 covered them. All was well. Except our economy. So first they started to simplify MiG-27. And that's when the technical requirements for Su-25 appeared. Remember what they stated? Simple, cheap, easy to maintain armoured aircraft that can be used by low skilled(referred to as medium skilled in document, lol) pilots from dirt airstrips near the frontline. Woopsie, we're back to IL-2 with jets category:D So of course first submitted design was IL-102, refined project of one of IL-40 variants. It didn't sit well, so they chose single pilot Su-25 instead. What the problem? It's piece of manure. MiG-27 was capable of supersonic flight, it was all weather capable, it was designed for precision weapons, it had GREATER operational range then his "bigger brother" Su-24. USSR fell over and yet it was MiG-27 that was butchered. Sukhou design bureau belched out an abomination called Su-39 and promised that they'd make all Su-25 like it, all weather and ideal for precision armaments. It'll be just as good as MiG-27(ignoring everything that made MiG-27 good). Guess how many Su-39 was ever made? 4. Guess how many NEW MiG-27 were scrapped? Hundreds. And in the end we're left with cheap and expendable piece of crap because it was DESIGNED to be cheap and expendable piece of crap, that stopped being cheap and easy to maintain due to corruption and internal lobbies and never had gotten anywhere near promised capabilities. But at least it's advertised in internet as cool, right? That makes up for what it is, right? I'm fully aware what a PoS Su-25 is so by extrapolating its situation and history to A-10 and F-35 I have to tell you to go screw yourself and learn what close air support even means. Spoiler alert: it's NOT about plane getting close to attack enemy combatants with autocannons and unguided munitions, it's called this way because attack happens CLOSE to your own troops. Precision weapons remove the need for aircraft to get close itself while filling the CAS role. That's the lowest of the basics and you don't know even that. Congrats, you've played yourself.

  3516. The most ironic part is that the same government that tries to disarm populationat the same time is supporting militarisation of the police. Jokes about knives aside, when people mention that people in Europe don't need guns(without asking us if we agree btw. History would have been a bit different if 2nd amendment existed in countries that border Russia, France, Russia, Germany, Russia, Austria and Russia), they don't mention that police is also far less armed. In case of UK they're disarmed. So make government legislations work for both police and citizens. Make SWAT teams in California use only state compliant guns and fully disarm cops in NYC!🤣

  3532. Lol. Being muslim =/= liking and helping other muslims. Heck, saudis hate Iran more then Israel does. Why? Because they're competing! Same goes for the defense pacts. Pakistan is a chinese ally(to backstab India in case of Indian-Chinese war), Iran is indian and russian ally(to counter Pakistan), Saudi Arabia is american ally(and ironically so also an ally of Israel. Yes, they're on the brink of war, they hate each other, but technically they're allies through USA. Not to mention that they make billions through trade with each other while publicly calling each other abominations to be eradicated). And the prize in that competition? Being de facto leader of all muslims in the world. That title is kind of a big deal. Imagine US losing the image of the main "western country"? Yes, trillions of dollars are gained and depend on upholding such an image alone. And here's the thing. While all compete for muslim primacy, they also uphold nationalistic views of population to keep themselves independent from others. Saudi speak about arab brotherhood, Iran calls back to persian roots, Pakistan views itself as the only true descendant of all things that ever was great in India and Turkey is going for osmanic legacy claim. Not arabic, mind you! And they all view themselves as ONLY rightfull rulers of unified Middle East. A culturaly and historically impossible, but so lucrative new superpower that could easily overshadow Russia and be actually recognised as serious competitor by US and China(the fact that it won't just be a summ of all statistics and parameters of all ME states, but be a much weaker state doesn't come to minds of most people).

  3537.  @robsnizzle79  meanwhile .280 was a first gen assault rifle round similar to 7.62x39. It MIGHT have ended up being basis of second generation round just like case of 7.62x39 was used to create 5.45x39, but that's NOT a guaranteed outcome. Plus .280 kind of had a heavy case. So it would have likely stepped down for 5.56x45 either way, but that doesn't mean I'm saying that .280 was bad, just that its time had passed. It would have been great to have it and FAL instead of M14 until M16 entered the scene.

  3545. A good point would be to look into suicide rates statistics. Not all mass shooters are sadists(ironically only those that get a lot of press as fake victims of bullying. Victim of bullying DOESN'T write whole paragraphs, poems and prepares for weeks, terrorists do. No matter how much teen girls believe otherwise), some of them were actually on the brink of the former beforehand. The difference is that mass shooting isn't as convenient to cover up for "saving the reputation" of higher ups, organizations and even towns involved. There are mass... stabbings, I guess, in schools in countries with banned guns. So correlation is with stress, not with guns. Guns are just more effective so to speak. Because teens are too dumb and lazy to be even more creative and effective...

  3549. ​ @thiagorodrigues5211  that's T-34. Just one more reason why it was a waste of steel. KV-1 had two problems - 1)engine wasn't properly derated to lower power output like on follow up tanks like IS-1/2/3 or T-44/54 where V-2 was giving 520 hp instead of CLAIMED 600 hp of KV-1. Which either meant very low reliability OR that power was in fact far lower then claimed; 2)early transmission wasn't up to the task of handling said engine and mass. However T-34 used the same engine and wasn't kind to it's transmission either. Moreover unlike KV-1 it had low internal space due to angled sides, welds that were prone to bursting thanks to angled sides, complicated hull welding process because of angled sides, abysmal to maintain and replace Christie suspension hidden insides hull and... yep, angled sides once again, commander had to operate as loader too and so on. Soviet would have been far better off shaving side armor of KV-1 to KV-1S level and producing that as medium tank. Or better yet put KV-1 turret on proposed T-34M hull. Instead they've produced T-34 which was a piece of fertilizer. And no, it wasn't cheap or good for mass production because it costed almost as much as KV-1. Because they used same bottleneck components! Literary the same gun and engine.

Wouldn't by that definition ALL drills be considered machineguns? /Looks at STEN/ And add all the plumbing equipment to that list too, I guess?

AR-18, G36 and HK416 have nothing to do with AR-15. AR-10/15 and AR-12/16 are two DIFFERENT rifle families that have very little in common from design perspective apart from a few given things, just like T-64/80 and T-72/90 are two different families of soviet tanks. But back on topic of rifles, one of said families was designed to be cheap, easy to maintain, sturdy and reliable... and the other one was adopted by US army. Guess which one is which?;)

  3567. That's a common misconception about military equipment, both NATO and soviet block one. It ISN'T hard to learn to operate. Because all those systems were designed WITH EXPORTS in mind(it's the only way to significantly cut costs on production by increasing the scale and hoping for some return on investments). And main clients WON'T be english or russian speakers. So as intimidating those cockpits and control systems look, they're designed with 1)foreigners, who don't speak the same language as original manufacturer; 2)to be handled by absolute morons in the army\/(-_-)\/ So there is no miracle that half a a year into the second active phase of this war, Ukraine has operators for the system.

  3573. methylene5 well, apart from usual early WWII time problem of "soviets don't know how to weld properly, germans don't know how to cast properly" no one was stopping them. They were actually designing too slowly. Back in 1943 before English bombers turned Alkett into a Moon surface full of craters, Maus was supposed to be produced by 120 per year. You can also look on production numbers of "electroboats" at the end of the war. Copper, steel and diesel fuel weren't as much of a problem as some say even in the end, otherwise they wouldn't have even devised such production plans with such inflated numbers. There were serious shortages, but not in all resources and every field. And shortage doesn't mean complete unavoidable absense. They had a few good projects, but they were either too late or killed off by inner infighting and lobbies. Knimkamp and his influence in Wa Pruef 6 might have saved A LOT of Allied soldiers thanks to germans not getting the equipement they needed.

Вам ярый социалист, который сражался за испанскую республику в 30-х годах(хотя именно 1984 это конец 40-х) прямым языком все рассказал про национал "социалистов", "социализм" в одной стране, "социализм" для одной нации, военный "коммунизм" и многое другое. "Предвидел"©®™... нет уж, просто до кого-то слишком долго доходит, что на написание и производство любой книги, фильма или чего угодно уходит десятилетие. Вам кричат из прошлого о том, что уже произошло.

  3592. The plane at 1:40-1:50 is Mriya, the biggest plane that ever flew. It was designed in Ukranian SSR to carry soviet Buran back to Baikonur cosmodrome for launches. Or rather it WAS Mriya. Because it was destroyed by russian invaders at Hostomel this year where it was parked for repairs as it was seen as one of the national symbols of Ukraine. Videos like these are all that's left of this giant of the skies.

  3599. @jimmcneal5292  this IS modest remilitarization. This is what Israel, Taiwan and South Korea do to survive. Every european state from Bulgaria to Portugal has to be preparing like Poland, Finland, Turkey and Switzerland. The latter aren't even in EU and NATO. "Holding off" is not enough. The alliance needs to be capable of retaking occupied territories of its members and inflicting lasting strategical impact on opposing force. If US were to remove divisions from the Baltics and Russia were to occupy those countries, Russia would gain several million people and some territory once again, negating their manpower losses. Yeah, EU won't fall. But it won't be able to push Russia out, the front will become static, time will run, NATO will get bored, there will be peace talks and Russia would get Baltics in return for fake peace for a few years while it prepares to take the next bite out of EU. NATO won't be serious about nukes until Russia is done with Balkans and is halway through Germany either. Ao why should Russia ever stop? It is facing demographic and economical catastrophe even without sanctions due to corruption and ineffective rule, but this way they're gaining population capable of working and paying taxes in exchange to losing impoverished, criminals and drunks desperate and delusional enough to go to front. And they're gaining developed territories with better climate. So even if they'll demolish 90% of buldings, they'll still be able to resettle russians from Siberia in new land to gain more support and better control over it. And a person getting to live in better conditions would rarely be bold enough to protest how they got there. Which would free Putin's hand to give out more and more of Siberia back to chinese companies, who would develop it and fuel his economy, while also ensuring that China is not an enemy. And if EU and NATO are facing Russia at their throat, would they really try something to stop Russia and China carving up Central Asia? Russia had learned that it can get away with biting and that math of such conflicts would always be positive for it since it doesn't see value in russian lives to begin with. NATO has no leverage to stop or even slightly oppose it as of right now. I gave a list how that leverage can be gained.

NK coming to help despite being de facto chinese puppet and THEN both Koreas WINNING would be the greatest miracle in the world. They screw over China, they screw over US, they make Japan FINALLY take responsibility for their crap and then they have a chance to really unify.

  3616.  @quadroninja2708  and it may sound like heresy, but surprisingly true one. First series AK had stamped receiver that was easily warped due to load or heat ie it was crap. Second series AK used milled receiver ie it was very expensive. Third series AK had reliable stamped receiver ie it was good and cheap, BUT the stamping procedure was refined by no other then Hugo Schemeisser and his crew ie it wasn't exactly soviet anymore:D So yeah, AK was either shitty, or expensive, or not really soviet depending on which production series you look at. AKM on the other hand was, and still is, an awesome gun. And that also doesn't change the fact that first batch AK is rare collectable item. P.S.: and that's before we touch on chinese AK clones which were made from low quality steel and could bend in your hands.

  3632. Considering how short was the career of 115mm gun as main line armament of "soviet armoured fist in Europe"™? Yeah, it won't work great for T-62 even if you'd combine all mods it and T-55 had ever seen. Applique composite, addon ERA and even Dagger APS. All would not be enough. Simply because of the amount of time invested into perfecting ammo for 125mm gun compared to 115mm one. For example chinese walked around the whole issue by using western 105mm gun as interim between soviet 100mm and 125mm guns. Tl:dr 125mm gun of T-72 had many more iterations and improvements of their ammo short lived 115mm gun of T-62. And any version of T-72 can use that ammo. P.S.: but yeah, both "any tank is better then no tank" and "tanks don't fight tanks"(except when they do and it's almost always) strike again.

Only NSV was actually noticably better then modernized variants of M2(although US army haven't gotten those modernized variants either, but that's another example of interservice sabotage). However nowadays we look at M2A1 vs Kord and it's not a good comparison, especially since the latter was designed in early 1990's(and knowing Russia, it was just a variation on even older soviet design from 1980's, maybe started out as some NSV modernization or replacement).

Yes, please point me to mass produced polygonal rifling two centuries ago. You CAN make it just like you can make a revolver in Middle Ages... with a battalion of jewelry workers, half the annual income of a small kingdom and around a decade of trying. Yes, surely this is what can be called practical and what I've meant. So you claim that all caseless ammo is the same, pressure and clean burn don't matter? I mean you call caseless(which it wasn't btw) musket ammo and modern caseless ammo the same, don't you? I said electric, not solenoid. There is a difference between electric trigger and magnetically propelled firing pin. And yet we spend billions on not only incremental, but sometimes just perceived improvements. Because incremental improvements of potential opponents make us nervous...

  3669.  @fokka6010  thanks for trying to lecture me on history of my own country. And have it also ever occured to you that a people with certain type of interest and at least nomnal knowledge are subscribed to this channel? 1)quote me on saying "ditch the ammo", please. I might not like rimmed cartridges, but I'd leave that topic to people screaming on MG-81 vs ShKAS forums and their RoF's. My goal is better bolt action by the time of WWII. Leaving the same ammo as is in reserves is an obvious(to sane people at least) requirement; 2)it's 1930's and the decision to scrap Mosin was already taken. Army wants nothing to do with it again and hopes to hop over any replacement straight to semiautos and SMGs. Only in 1938 when the upcoming war became obvious for USSR was it put into large scale production again. I'm only merely proposing to include reservist/back up rifle into this plan. The same way as SKS was put into production to back up revolutionary for soviet army AK which had left too many people sceptical at first. It'd be different to sell as an idea back in 1934-36, but for completly different or even opposite set of reasons. It was a time of infectuos futurism in soviet military circles; 3)it requires the same production lines. Majority of equipement depends on the cartridge and caliber, not on the rifle itself. Nagant revolver is in 7.62mm to utilize the same tooling that for making barrels as Mosin-Nagant rifle. Sorry, but adopting simply different bolt action for same cartridge won't suddenly require exotic martian wood or hexagonal vibranium screws. Or whatever you have just imagined to yourself; 4)it means that production will spike in 1934-38, not in 1942. Soviet army will have overall better service rifle in plenty when it'll need it. And it'll be still reliable and cheap. We can modernize Brown Bess too, it still won't mean that it's better then gun specifically designed for requirements of current moment; 5)as mentioned in point №2, it wasn't decent in any way, shape or form. By the 20's Mosin is an ugly moronic duckling. It doesn't run smoothly, it's large, it's slow, it has small magazine. And worst of all, it doesn't deserve any of it's good reputation compared to it's immediate competition. And that costed us.

Thus I treated that as mostly inconsequential. I'll illustrate my reasoning. If you produce T-72B and everything seems alright, you've ironed out the kinks in production, you addressed some existing issues. Now you switch to production of T-72BU aka T-90 that uses different turret(and autoloader), but apart from a few changes the hull remained the same in basic construction process. And suddenly your hulls start causing infinite flood of quality control issues out of nowhere despite all of that and you having more time and resources to allocate to these new vehicles. Tell me, wtf am I supposed to think here? Yes, it was a bumpy road after the war, but war itself was much bumpier.

China has two potential allies(Pakistan and North Korea), but they 1)not on that level of relationship; 2)won't have time to react before both juggernauts cease to exist. Global trade would be over, there would be industrial and pharmaceutical crisis, billion(s) of refugees would flood the rest of Eurasia and so on. It would be a domino effect, but it won't be one of nuclear war. Collapse of all major global economies.

Turkey and USA however are both NATO members and currently have the worst relations possible due to a lot of scheming on both sides. And we live in the world where 5 permanent UNSC members are free to go out and rape to death any small nation that isn't a member of "nuclear club" without any fear of retaliation. They will bomb your country to stone age and then complain how it is THEM, who suffered from the war. Erdogan is an islamist radical(easiest way to argument about here is i9n how he handled educational system) that plays to russian fiddle, but the problem is that he was cornered by morons in Washington. And now they cry that he's biting back to stay in power:D The sad truth is that nuclear weapons are the only guarantee of your independence in our world. Even a strong economy means only that you'd be inclined to pay protection money to someone, who has them. And it's not just simple cash, if you know anything about politics and economy. Simple approval of certain political moves is enough...

  3726. I hate Mondays not a 70 year gap, NK doesn't have modern tech. What they have and can produce on their own can be dated to best examples of tech of late 60's and early 70's so it's actually 30 year gap and that if we forget that both USSR and USA tech after the war was heavily "inspired" by german examples and first few years after the war weren't very productive in terms of tech as everyone was still dealing with consequences of the war.

Zixiang He barely trained korean with AKM(AK-47 was the name of prototype, production model is just AK and even those are rare nowadays) vs double amount of disciplined soldiers with Kar98(not to mention how heavily MG-34 rips RPK a new a//hole). A few hundred of undersupplied T-55/62 and even a dozen T-72's with once again barely trained crews and more importantly no fuel to run them vs thousands of armored vehicles that can still compete with all vehicles lighter then tanks(who will suffer from thousands of german CAS planes anyway). Few dozen of those jets with all aforementioned problems vs thousands of Luftwaffe planes who might get air superiority by sheer numbers. A bunch of self proclaimed generals vs elite that had taken on the whole world and held for years commanded by most prominent officers of that time whose actions and tactics are written in books to teach nowaday ones. You're right, there's no suspense. Germans have better logistics, better supply, better training, higher initiative and many other factors that aren't going to be held down by 20(30 if we're VERY generous and assume NK can replicate the tech we sold them over the years) year tech gap. You're talking a nation ready for war vs a nation during peacetime with clear expirience and numbers superiority on one side.

Fable 2 is a standalone sequel, Gothic 2 isn't. Standalone sequel is a sequel that doesn't reuse mechanics and assets of previous title to save budget, but instead develops new ones to fit the expanding story and world. Horizon didn't get that one. They cheapened out and yet had ended up with huge budget anyway. And a game that was very lukewarm at most.

Imagine the amount of genius inventors that would flood the world if China would unshackle education from political system? Literally nothing ever will be invented by a non-chinese person as probability of genius being born is equal everywhere, it's just the upbringing and education that varies by region, culture, religion and so on. China would make up 20% of all names in science books and India would be making another 25%. And both would be making 60-80% of new ones. So no, let those guys praise their authoritarian rule and remain where they are. I can't compete with chinese in videogames already, I don't want to compete with them in academic studies too 😂 As Napoleon said, "The world will shake when China wakes up."

  3755.  @Dimetropteryx  it has all to do with that discussion as one of the primary choice of 50-57mm caliber was its extended range over smaller autocannons combined with more powerful airburst ammo as higher caliber allows to use simpler VT fuze AND have more HE fuller. However in those 3 years a world became more informed and now it's evident that having RWS with .50 HMG slaved to sensors of vehicle's APS is also important to combat threats of FPV drones in real time by emulating CIWS/CRAM on small scale.
    1
  3756.  @Dimetropteryx  1).50 is dual purpose, it'll be on a tank regardless; 2)it has far greater range then common shotgun shell which will suddenly become important once FPVs big enough to carry ATGM or even just rocket with sight become a thing. Or if they just drop a retarded bomb(I wonder if YT will get triggered here?) on you from higher altitude; 3)there are shot shells for .50 and even .410. Just insert dual feed into RWS if it's so important to you, but I'd prefer higher caliber pellets, preferably at least the once that are comparable to 9x19 ie 50m effective range ie those that police uses.

  3766. ​ @rcons1g262  dear empty profile that isn't even a year old, WHEN HAD RUSSIA HONOURED ANYONE'S NEUTRALITY? In less then a decade it openly violated sovereignty of four of it's neighbours(invasion of Georgia, invasion of Ukraine, support of dictatorial puppet regime in Belarus, literal killsquads sent to break protesters in Kazakhstan). Yeah, cry me a river on how Israel, South Korea, Taiwan and (greek part most of the time) Cyprus decided not to be neutral. Yeah, suuuuure. Learn history, tankie. Your precious Stalin robbed and betrayed spanish socialists, he used french communists as a ploy to undermine french war effort in 1940, he tried to assassinate Tito multiple times and he invaded China in 1929, 1934 and 1937, with last time being simultaneous with maoist sabotage of a certain bridge that gave japanese excuse to invade China from the other side and cause one of the worst genocides in history. And then in 1945-1949 he provided massive amounts of military support to install the same Mao into power and tried to repeat that with Korea too. There is no neutrality as long as your damned neighbor is tsarist Russia under whatever name and ideology it rebranded itself this time to justify its own rabid imperialism and racism. Пшел вон, Капустин.

Hence "no such thing as Armenian genocide" issue too as Turkey was a founding member of NATO, was neutral in WWII and UK and France were the ones, who f//cked up after WWI. And why South Korea is on knives with it's allies from time to time on matters that concern Japan.

  3770. "Who would wash in this filthy toxic river?" Well, nowadays it would be poor uneducated population clinging to tradition. Originally? People wanting to live despite living in an era long before antibiotics. River Gang is(or rather was) one of the few naturally occuring habitats for bacteriophage colonies ie viruses that specifically hunt and kill bacteria. They weren't known in the west for a few generations, but finally after collapse of USSR Poland and several other former Warsaw Pact member had finally translated the century of research data to anglophiles:D Nowadays they are used in cases when bacteria in question have high tolerance to antibiotics or immunity to most common antibiotics. In case of antibiotics collapse(ie most common bacteria in the wild get immune to all available forms of antibiotics due to their overuse in animal farming by corporations) they are your best hope. Problem is that they're slow to grow and also need to be specialized to work at their best. Which combined means that almost nobody has a ready supply of them. Except Russia. Part of soviet legacy is to keep a ready bank of those for most common bacterial diseases in case of disaster. Poland probably had one as well, but idk if they kept it going.

  3785. 11:40 That technology already exists and is in use... by italians. Subcaliber "beam riding" shells for OTOMATIC have 57mm caliber. They have 3 correction charges places behind the warhead perpendicular to the casing. Using the rotation and those 3 charges you can make 3 small corrections. Problem? This ammo costed the same as beam riding/external radar guided missiles. Which is MUCH cheaper then missiles with all internal sensor package, but still TOO MUCH. So italians dropped this programm. And since US army won't go to Italy and ask to just make shells for them because national pride is a great reason for decisions like picking M14 over FN FAL and G3, you can expect a billion dollar two decade programm to make those shells... which will fail:D Using IDF approach and just buying shells from NATO allies would have resulted in ready solution in 3-5 years. But the shells would be too costly anyway.

When they presented Ironheart(which at the time didn't have her own name, they expected to just run away with taking away Iron Man), they have already preemptively put Tony in coma, killed Rhodes, forced Potts to retire and removed Iron Lad from timeline. So they removed a person wearing red and gold suit and Iron in the name, black person, a woman and a teenager to steal exactly listed characteristics and only them(because screw seeing Rhodes for anything more then just a black guy in power armor, right? Screw his USAF background that makes him actually know what he's doing. And screw Pepper for being able to multitask whole army of drone suits unlike Tony. Why make them different, let's steal whole "iron family"!) and combine into single "original" character. Imagine someone killing off whole Fantastic Four to replace them with Super Skrull?

On the other hand will LOTS AND LOTS of Tomahawk Missiles and artillery turn Kaliningrad into a very large smoking crater? Yes, it will. Which is my point here. There will be a balance or Russia would invade today. Russia does not because things are in much more of a balance than has been stated here."

There were news yesterday that all belarusian staff was ordered to leave embassy in Kyiv. What does it imply? Will they force our soldiers to participate under threats?) and the whole idea that "nobody in Russia is so dumb as to declare an actual war over it" obviously didn't held either:\ At least I was wrong on russian military being professional and well equipped too.

So it's better to be safe and view all 5 veto members as danger to humanity.

  3812. @Lawofimprobability which benefits? Losing T-80 to the country that produces them? When Russia loses T-72 or T-90, ukranians have to strip it for parts to repairs others. When Russia losses T-80, Ukraine has an ability to fully restore and refit those tanks, especially if they have access to parts shipments for electronics or other components they don't produce themselves. Or enough older T-64/80 to cannibalize for parts. Send T-72/90 > Ukraine captures a 33% "return" on a tank at best, needing multiple vehicles to get one operational Send T-80 > Ukraine gets 90% of active tank upon each captured one. So sending T-80 makes ukranian tank forces grow, sending T-72/90 makes losses grow on both sides.

  3813.  @stephenjacks8196  as you yourself pointed out, it's better for China to use DPRK as a scapegoat for any attack on Russia. If Russia is weak, even noth korean military would be able to do serious gains in short order without involving China or causing major international incident(nobody is going to help Russia if it's attacked by nation perceived as smaller). And if Russia would have somehow turned out to be stronger then expected(yeah, sounds like a joke nowadays) or uses tactical nukes, it will be north korean lives lost, not chinese. Same way as any chinese attack on India would be done by Pakistan.

All those Pak Fa's, T-50, T-14's, T-15's are just market tricks, it's far better to have more Su-35 and T-90 with proper support equipment, ground crews, spare parts and skilled crews, then have half(or much less) of their number in various "wunderwaffels" just for show. What Russia NEEDS is to restore all pilot schools that were closed down after collapse of USSR. In comparison to that Su-57/75 are just expensive toys with no use. They are pursued for one reason only - those projects allow to hide that real money from military budget get stolen.

Maybe they're using gyrojet rounds with antimatter warheads and ECM initiator propellant to give it more velocity before rocket properly accelerates it?(yes, I HAVE just described ammo of Space Marine bolter. Yes, it's 20mm, not 9mm. Doesn't matter with Iron Man's fantasy tech and antimatter being equally powerfull either way since you're using only a few "atoms" of it and the rest is containment chamber the size of which is based on your tech level). Oh, wait, it's 6+ movies, you can't have handguns scaring children in the theatres with loud banging noizes and tearing enemies into a gory mess before their eyes!:)) 2)do Asgardians, other "human looking aliens" and even Thanos minions count as having human anatomy? What happens if you cut off half of asgardian ballsack and only THEN start asking questions while mentioning the rest of his anatomy? Though I admit, in myth Loki is quite used to being a woman... and not even a human one;) 3)Stark had made optical camo for helicarrier even BEFORE first Avengers movie. Then we see him, Parker(instead of Miles for some reason) and even his transport planes using it. Giving it to Black Widow was that hard? Or authors being dumbasses forgetting about two characters is characters fault? 4)Black Widow was augmented with superserum just like Captain America and Bucky(and Red Skull. And Hydra agents. And Black Cat, who also gets her serum "forgotten" nowadays. Time to joke about sexism... or not joke?). Once again, she can do ANYTHING those two(16?) can in physical terms and have better CQC skills. Nolan was able to make Batman cool in grounded tech level and without any serum and in animated movies people like him when he interrogates metahumans with words alone or stares down literal gods. Care to repeat all your BS about metahuman enemies, pointless interrofation and infiltration and lack of superhuman abilities? Just copy Batman if you fail to be creative and original yourself!:D

  3832.  @yeepeekaye1  "Tony Stark too. I mean, he has the suit, but anyone can wear it". Not "can", but SHOULD! Earth is in the middle of interstellar war, not augmenting other Avengers with Stark tech was a mistake. Even Thor and Hulk would greatly benefit from having a HUD and proper intercom. Authors of comics, shows and movies however are afraid that it'll take away from Stark thus ironically proving a point that in their creations, he is nothing without the suit. Rings a bell? Better writers were able to distinguish the whole "Iron Family" by their strong skills - Tony is the hothead creator of the suits so he uses the bleeding tech ie word for untested prototypes and he can repurpose said suit's tools for other tasks on the fly, Pepper as Rescue has her own skills in use like multitasking having her directly control several suits or drones alongside her own and Rhodes was the only one trusted with WMD equipped and other morally questionable creations of Stark as Warmachine. Yes, in comics Warmachine suit is armed with nukes as last resort. Only once on my memory had Tony constructed "augmentor" suit alongside his usual "[Insert]buster" line. Though there was a development in newest comics where Busters are mentioned as being dual purpose ie both to counter said person AND help them if worn in case of "Avengerbuster" suits(which is quite logical since if the suit is build to counter strengths and exploit said persons weaknesses, it would already have tech to do reverse aka counter weaknesses and augment abilities). But I can bet it was dropped right after that mention.

  3833.  @connerwiseman4876  I don't see Hawkeye using VSSK with radioactive bullets though, so it kind of makes the whole "he's better with any weapon and is superior assassin" argument a moot point if he neither uses other weapons except bow and sword, nor does he uses assassinations as combat tactics. Don't you think so?

  3834.  @steviemicks785  Cap and Iron Man aren't responsible that screenwriters for got about Hawkeye and Black Widow and made latter two useless because they have no screentime for them as other main characters.

  3853. Not exactly. They used Pak40 shells,the cash Ng was unique though. The gun in question was F-22, a failed project to make universal guns. They were replaced by cheaper and yet more modern ZiS-3. But ZiS-3 was 100% artillery gun, there was no modernization reserve. Meanwhile F-22 was on purpose build with too thick chamber walls that were supposed to be redrilled for AA use later on if the project would be approved as universal gun. Germans just captured the plans when they entered Kharkov and basically had done what was already listed in blueprints. There was no development per say involved.

  3860.  @Icebergeification  Missed? I've explained this point. In detail. If you are in a loop and lack comprehension to admit it, it's your problem. It always was:\ "You know, if only people had beaten up bad parents and taken away their children as their own instead of just reporting them, we could have fixed so many ruined childhoods" is the line of "logic" you try to enforce and shame a character to take despite him already doing 90% of needed work for you. But you know, it's apparently not enough. You need an adult to take over ALL your responsibilities. Because you can't be an adult yourself. But then I ask you, why aren't taxes directly going to Batman's pockets and why he isn't recognized as head of police, mayor and all other seats of power of both city and state? What difference would it make, fuckwit? History had already proven that your edgy approach doesn't work. But you don't get the memo, don't you? No matter how many times it repeats itself.

  3861.  @Icebergeification  1)I'm not saying that he should, as he wouldn't seek it, but also because...I'm saying that there isn't a point of mayor if there are no tasks that mayor is doing. No point in police, no point in the city itself if single guy should handle every task. As in read the actual comment; 2)yeah, but the proper line is to have police handle the parent and social services to find the child new family. You blame officer for not taking every orphan home.

  3886.  @badwolf9956  context, dear, context! Instead you have just proven that you have NO idea what you're talking about. 1)Kar98 is using inflated round damage like all other Scout rifles. You deal almost three times more damage then you should. G43 and MG34/42 is using the SAME round and comparable barrel length. So by definition, you're ALREADY using the fact that devs took pity on you and gave you an advantage in damage. There is less difference in damage and recoil between this gun and your Kar98 then between Kar98 and G43 which differ between themselves only by being bolt and gas action. 2)both Boys and Panzerbuchsse are TOO big and heavy to be used in hipfire, in standing position, to run with them in your hands and many other things. Have they gotten special mechanics for that? Nope, DICE just took the same code that they use for bolt actions and added a few points of damage. Sure, new model and animation looks great, but it's just your typical Scout rifle inflated. Here, want another proof? AT rifles DON'T mount optics! They're used at extreme CLOSE range where they have maximum penetration. So all in all, DICE had just given you a bigger Kar98... and if you've played BF1 and seen other AT rifles on this channel, you'd also understand what I mean:\

So the course is clear, the issue is that EU has demilitarised so much that they can't scale production even with help of Sweden. And unless EU goes to require 3,5%-5% GDP military budget, they will never fix it. And even then it'll take a decade.

  3901. ​ @FakeSchrodingersCat  the issue is that Trump saw that deal as independence guarantee to Ukraine. US has no lever on Russia and Trumps REALLY wants Russia to love him. So he wants to end this war as soon as possible, but knows he can't really give Ukraine out. So his suggestion is to put US companies in Ukraine to make sure that if Russia attacks, they'll attack american property. Likewise they've tried to leverage arrested russian funds to go solely into rebuilding occupied parts of eastern Ukraine. The issue is that Trump sees it as not his problem and that allowing eastern/western Ukraine scenario is okay because it'll "blow over in 30 years" and nobody would care. But it won't. Because while Russia threw innumerable bodies at frontline, they gained MORE population on occupied territories. As a value of total population they GAINED people. And they gained slavic ortodox christian russian speaking hard working taxpayers instead of criminals they threw at frontlines. People forget that. They think Trump is throwing Ukraine under the bus, but he doesn't. He throws half of Ukraine under the bus in preparation to throwing ALL of Baltics under the bus. Likely in first weeks of next president.

Contrast that with brits, who put 17 pounder on every chassis that could fit it and on 50% of those, which couldn't.

Gyrojet is just an idea to minituarize that just like flechette guns that were part of new gen small arms studies in 1970's-1980's were attempting to copy success of APFSDS munitions. Gyrojet is ammo type, it's an idea of minituarized missile as ammunition for small arms. And when talking about drawbacks I hear only mentions of the gun that was more of a proof of concept in small serial production. Just like collimator sights were a gimmick for very rich hunters in 1930's. Will you now advise us to throw out all modern red dots?:D

Bombs are cheap, missiles are expensive, BUT both of them are expendable unlike aircraft and pilot. Your comprehension capability being too low to get it is not my problem.

For a long time soviets had to fight in their own cities and assaults that were meant to retake them usually took the form of completely turning the whole city to dust with artillery and then moving in(unlike movies:)). The problem is that I don't think germans were keen on allowing anybody to leave:(

  3932.  @levilastun829  I'm not going to open up the whole comment chain to look up what changed in several months, but in case I didn't mention it or you somehow overlooked it: 1)M900 has much longer penetrator. If I was talking on this topic, I likely mentioned that I specifically mean 2A46Msomething on T-72 ie when it was heavily limited to rod length. T-90A has de facto the same gun, but due to reworked autoloader it doesn't have the same problem. Idk why people find it so hard to comprehend something as basic. Okay, I'll give an easy example. Think of it this way, if it'll be easier for you - you can install 100mm D-10 in turret of T-34/76(1942), you will just need massive muzzle break, massive counterweight, you would be limited to using only low pressure ammo, you will need to cut a hole in the back of the turret for recoiling gun breach, you will be able to reload it only from outside because there is no space for human left inside the turret and you will need to pray before each shot. Does it make D-10 a worse gun on T-54 or SU-100? Nope. But we're not talking about T-54 or SU-100. Warning! This is an analogy, an example to explain what I've meant. Please don't derail the conversation into it. 2)MRD stands for muzzle reference device, yes. First ever use by Russia was on T-90M in 2016, almost 3 decades after it became standard for NATO even on old refurbished tanks due to the requirements of increased FCS accuracy.

  3940.  @kireta21  diameter is a much lesser factor then mass. If you have two projectiles with identical velocity then the one with bigger mass, but wider diameter is likely to penetrate more as it has more kinetic energy. The point of sabot is primarily to cut down on air resistance. Lowered diamter and length of sabot come into equation much later when you try to maximize the potential.

  3947.  @Song-tn8qy  as much as I dislike american hypocritic warmongering, ANY country that calls itself a superpower is already a problem. And so do those that want to be one. That includes every permanent member of UNSC and all members of "nuclear club". As well as many regional and economical powers sadly. However main problem o USA, Russia and China is that they're all effectively oligarchies with huge influence of corporations. But while those are oil corporations in Russia and industrial manufacturing syndicates in China, in USA this role was taken by military industrial complex. Not even information and technological corporations were even able to dethrone them. And this is the most resource hungry industry too. If you'd separate US military, airforce and nave from USA in terms of oil consumption, USA will still be number one consumer while those three combine would take 4th place among consumers... AMONG CONSUMERS ON A LIST MADE UP BY COUNTRIES! World Wars were a huge boost to american industry and economy and everyone knew how Great Depression was partly caused by industry grown by war failing to cut its appetites for peace times. So Cold War was inflated as much as possible on every corner which was helped a lot by informational blockade on both sides. But we've also seen that even the fall of Warsaw Pact can't change much. War is profitable. And ideal war is one against someone, who can't fight back.

It also depends if Poland will side with germans to rip apart Czechoslovakia as it did irl:D Russia still would have seen Poland as former part of Russian Empire, BUT it wouldn't have such an easy part to justify it to it's own population. As a result it'll likely prefer to keep it as a buffer state as it was post war and instead just sponsor the communist rise in power in Poland. It would have also changed international views about Poland, with more immigrants willing to support it and talk in its defense. And above all else it would also mean stronger independent Lithuania.

That is likely not the case, but it's not something you can prove wrong easily. I've seen people looking at airlines stocks back when Wuhan was still on the news instead of global pandemic after all.

  3980.  @cynthiaayers7696  well, you've pinpointed the date right, but ignored what else happened and why it happened. 1970's were also the time when CCP became best friend of US in exchange for throwing Taiwan under the bus and forgetting anything that happened on [Redacted]. A lot of short term compromises were made to milk all the reserves from the economy both inner and on global scale. Why? To win Cold War! This was the time US started to make a push to regain its global reputation after a few hiccups like early space race and Vietnam being disasters and also when NATO finally realized that Stalin isn't in power and current Soviet leaders are more likely to bluff then act so it was a time to make final push and win Cold War an economical way. Problem came when after USSR collapse NONE of those policies, compromises and shady alliances were reevaluated because they were bringing money in to people in charge. As a result we still have middle class dying out, CCP getting stronger, Russia still being an enemy, EU becoming more distant and self reliant, society stagnating and turning onto itself and so on. Because in 1990-2010 US foreign and internal policies were made by people who would have fit better in 1930 France praising themselves how they've won last war and peace for all time! And world kept marching onward...

  3993.  @zum3040  so, all soviet and many german snipers, who are record holders for numbers of scored kills(some even challenge Simo depending on trustworthiness of sources) are disqualified because many of them used G43 and SVT-40 ie technically marksman rifles since they were normal rifles with scopes? What about poor people that used Mosin or Kar98 when everyone was using them too? Once again, only american classification tries to argue with a role of a sniper and even it doesn't have the balls to claim that either of those riflesd isn't a sniper rifle. SVD isn't a rifle with a scope mounted on it, it's a purpose build one. That little part of distinction you don't notice, do you? All 3 rifles mentioned by me ARE sniper rifles and ARE credited as being the ancestors of modern ones. What's worse for you, all 3 are purpose built:P

  3996.  To Release is To Resolve  maybe they did... but it wasn't L96:D However what makes me laugh is interesting disposition that "a sniper must be bolt action and bolt action only". All 3 rifles I've mentioned are an example of a change in disposition to sniper rifles as "we take this standart infantry rifle that we're using anyway and slapping a scope on" and are a milestone in progress. What I see instead is what I for some reason have to assume are claims originating from misconception of 1)them being DMRs ie class that is occupied by examples of former approach to the point that nowadays it's full of intermediate cartridge assault rifle offspring; 2)sniper role always being a "sole hunter" which as already brought up, wasn't the case. And rarely is nowadays. Come on, it's not like I'm stopping you from saying more then one sentence!

  3997.  @zum3040  I'm brining them up because I'm brining up PEOPLE, who used them. And to show that 1)performance of rifle should be judged according to it's age; 2)what we understand by sniper and is usually understood by it isn't solely part of american classification. But good to see that you've finally noticed that there is one slight difference between marksman rifle ie rifle with a scope and a sniper rifle. I repeat, all 3 ARE purpose build sniper rifles. And depending on source they are called the first modern. L96 isn't one of those examples. Because it hasn't changed that view on the subject and didn't have as much of an impact as realisation that we need to make purpose built weapons if we want precision.

  4013. Well, I'm also wondering why only germans? Because I don't recall only germans using them. Late WWII designs adopted it in full swing with both T-44 and IS-3("false sides") designed with use of those. Attempts to uparmor soviet tanks also used such a solution though just welding more plates was used instead(especially on early T-34 where welded plates helped to prevent front upper glacis from cracking. The problem remained even on T-34-85 of one infamous for its pigheads factory while others thankfully stopped suffering from it).There were also attempts to use them by brits and americans. Hungary, Romania and Italy HAD used armor skirts during the war if I recall right.

There is no backwards compatibility between modern chinese equipment and old soviet one. And once people make the switch, it becomes too expensive to switch back to soviet/russian equipment again. Tl:dr success and independence of chinese arms industry killed russian arms industry.

  4031.  @thehermitman822  reread my comment again. And again after that if you still don't get what I talked about. Belters are result of human adapted to high gravity being brought to lower gravity. Except belters are "weak" due to low gravity they lived in. Ogryns are getting raised in normal gravity, but their DNA pushes them to grow bigger as if they're still on the worlds they evolved upon. So instead of getting short human with massive density of tissues, you get massive human with normal density of tissues.

But nice of you guys to finally listen to russian fears of chinese invasion from a decade ago. If only...

DP-27 was almost thrice cheaper and faster to build, it was still very reliable and effective and didn't have any major drawbacks. Is Bren good enough to best 3 DP-27? I somehow doubt that. Or that british infantry wouldn't have chosen MORE LMGs. STEN SMG is a proof that more "good enough" gun is better. Better to have 3 guys with DP-27 and 12 guys with "trash rods" then single guy with Bren and 14 guys with Lee-Enfields. Because as brilliant as latter one is, it doesn't compensate enough:D

Solar satellites are possible and Dyson Sphere is something that we're looking for as a sign of (close) alien presence in the galaxy around us. Problem is that renewables aren't mobile and batteries suck. Which is where future of nuclear rests. Even if idea of nuclear container ship is a bit worrying, US and soviet/russian navy were running nuclear ships for half a century. And those were old barely testbed fission designs.

  4060. You guys do realise that there are precision warheads for MLRS systems of both US and RF that can target individual entities like tanks and APCs? And they existed for many years now. The problem is that those cost TOO MUCH with current production processes so it's easier to reload the system several times. Plus TOS-1 isn't MLRS, it's basically modern assault gun. it isn't going to be used in MLRS role since RF has thousands of units of actual MLRS systems.

  4137.  @DIREWOLFx75  "because it was found to simply be too inconvenient to remove and put tracks back when needed" BA-10 was the most mass produced armored car pre-WWII and was sheduled to be replaced in production by BA-11 in 1941. Remind me what was one of the key features of it? Suddenly the problem stops being a problem? Weird...

  4138.  ZERO94AIC  for the same reason it was used irl? PDW is just a fancy new name we can use for SMGs, derivatives and everything inbetween. Just like battle rifle was introduced to save Sturmgewehr's reputation as first (mass produced, accepted in service and used by troops in combat... and even then there are still questions to it) assault rifle. The main question is for how long such a weapon would remain viable in service and later on in the market if surplus existed. Luger is pre-WWI design after all.

For example how in my country in 2011 people simply protested on one of main squares of our city after presidential election and then when populace was obviously supporting demonstrants, shops were broken in a block away from them with camera crews filming people, who did it from 3-5m away. Then protesters were all rounded up as looters. A year ago Hong Kong protests that you all ignored also had strange looting(though some is real, it's hard to get info there).

  4148. The convention predating Geneva one limits the use of explosive and incendiary munitions in calibers below 15mm against infantry. In WWII that's mostly what .50 was loaded with as it was filling light AAA niche. Can you put two and two together about origins of the "myth", huh?;) Let's just say it slightly predates the Korean War when it established itself as anecdote you heard.
    1
  4149.  @defalttheloner  1)it's called Saint Petersburg Declaration of 1868 2)I actually made a mistake, it bans not the caliber, but projectiles fired at soldiers being below the weight of 400 grams containing explosive, combustible or incendiary elements. The logic being that it's an overkill as bullet would injure a soldier either way, but will not hurt the equipment ie "materiel". So I guess that's why it is specified nowadays. Doesn't stop explosive ammo from being fired at infantry though in actual engagements from them probably. I also didn't find an explanation on why the two latter ones are mentioned separately. Were there some oil rounds or something?

  4151.  @defalttheloner  no, I mean it says combustible and incendiary as different types while their name implies the same function.

  4166. Great, the weekly "ukranian SAM did it" story from russian propaganda. And once again, people fail to realize that: 1)SAM is not a cruise missile, it has warhead designed for fragmentation with prefabricated strike elements arranged in several rings; 2)SAM is not a cruise missile, it has a fast high burn engine designed to provide maximum velocity and paying for that with very short burn time; 3)SAM is not a cruise missile, it has aerodynamics of a telephone pole with minimal drag to help it get to the target as fast as possible and thus it also has zero capability to glide. Your weekly dose of laws of physics and basic logic was provided by some guy on the internet, who apparently has to explain school level basics to you. Have a nice day.

  4172.  DOUG HEINS  so, people in Lafayette Square when it all started were trying to burn buildings down? Destroying something? What exactly were they doing in those 15-20 minutes?

Though I'm not an expert even of armchair variety on their full less trigger happy procedures.

  4173.  @legatvsdecimvs3406  here is the problem. 39 and 43 in the names of those weapons aren't accidental. SG-43 in fact only entered service in late 1944, if I recall right, about the same time T-44 and IS-3 entered production. Meaning that the whole Great Patriotic War had zoomed past. Degtyarev was a talented designer, but not the one who was dedicated to refining his designs. Because that wasn't getting him neither money, nor fame. Putting new designs into service and production was. So he focused only on producing new shit without care how it'll do after he's done with his report. Nothing stopped him from making belt fed adapter and refining DP-29 back in 1930's. Except that he wasn't interested. He had other design coming up, DS-39. And when that one came off the production line, he once again lost interest. He was told to refine it in the end of the war solely because by that point he had finally lost Stalin's favor. No more phone calls on birthdays for him:D

Viewers come for content creators, companies come with ad money for viewers, Youtube takes the money and treats content creators like trash. You see where the blames of being a parasite come from? And suprisingly, they've managed to piss of both left and right by now with this so, quite an achievment;)

You start with housing for workers and production of tools then local ie orbital infrastructure then you switch to dismantling the system for raw resources. I know what xenophobic means. It's not an anthonym to exploitation, sorry to burst that bubble. Just like racism didn't somehow stop slavery, quite opposite in fact:D That's V. Or you've meant Pacific Rim? We can build robots too. Yet chinese child and forced labor is all the rage. Or should I remind you of the term "biorobots"? You either need those very humans to set up local production lines for your robots OR you need constant massive imports of robotic workforce into the system that has a workforce.

Suicide drones are just part of the problem, those 200$ quadcopters bought online can cause enough trouble even without IED strapped to it. They provide life video feed, can easily serve as help for providing aiming point for weapons with laser guidance and so on. So idea is to push them further away where they won't have enough precision and resolution to provide effective recon or simply expand safe zone from IED variety.

Police is de facto occupationary force. It's purpose is only force projection onto owned population and territory. Nothing more. So how are people wrong for hating it?

  4226. Ironically Starship Troopers were hit with the opposite in the worst way. Had I not been introduced to an idea of ODST or Space Marine or didn't knew anything about combined arms and how much of a death sentence paradrops are, it would have probably been a great book. But in current "era" it's the only Heinlein's book that fails to inteoduce reader ro any new and original idea and thus just wastes time. Yes, even if it invented those ideas. This book became obsolete and I haven't even known that such a thing was possible. Rico's inner monologue on nature of society just bores and subtle inconsistencies in Federation's customs don't lead to reader's speculations as this book doesn't have a sequel as far as I know. Meanwhile movie was both entertaining AND introduced viewers to satirical view on modern "media wars". So despite having NO connection to the book, it replaced it as superior(from test of time PoV) work ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Our dear "president" is about to bomb our own populace to use it as justification to send belarusian soldiers to fight ukranians just because Kremlin ordered him. And if I speak against it, we have recently introduced "law" that calls antiwar protests as act of terrorism and very conveniently we still have death sentence for it... which works wonders combined with one of the most advanced transplantology clinics in eastern europe. What a great combo, right? So, when are you coming? You don't have to put a lot of things with you, relax:D

And you know them, PTRD is a famous example of one, but usually it's seen in artillery. So I take their comment as everyone needing AT LEAST 14,5*114 for home defense. Which is a message I approve.

They're also free to remake Prince of Persia, the reason AC even exists. And they're free to return to AC3, find new protagonist and continue actual storyline.

  4275. Well, it's a perfect tank as it perfectly fits into technical requirements it was created for:)) Jokes aside, if infantry tanks still existed as a classification and their niche wasn't taken by IFVs(some of which has armor and weight comparable to MBTs), Merkava would be ideal infantry tank. Though one could say that we're witnessing the dusk of MBTs as a classification norm since even medium tanks are having a resurgence.

  4276.  @piotrmalewski8178  pretty much. However when not crancked up by soviet factories without any quality control or skilled workers, it wasn't the worst design ever. I just heavily dislike original turret(designed for 45mm gun back on A-20 and then upgunned to 76mm without increasing its size), Christie suspension(screw maintaining that, be it on T-34/85 or even Comet), angled sides, forward turret position, vulnerable driver hatch and the fact that it uses the same bottleneck components as KV-1 thus defeating the whole purpose and putting the "it was cheap argument" in its grave. Otherwise(is there anything good left) it wasn't that bad;) My favourite soviet medium tank among produced ones was KV-1S, which technically was called heavy, but was closest to being "soviet Sherman". T-43 and KV-13 were also cool, but they remained just prototypes. By same margin US had T20-T23 prototypes with gun stabilisation and autoloading back during the WWII so it's pointless to mention such fantasies as "if they could have been produced en masse". Though yes, if fantasies are allowed, just scrap both T-34 and KV-1 and produce T-34M chassis with straight hull sides buffed to 55mm, perpendicular engine placement and turret of KV-1. Ie T-44 at home model 1940:D However I talked about brits. And they literally produce such tanks, just not with such bad production quality. Put infantry Valentine XI hull onto cruiser Cromwell engine and suspension and you literally get T-34/76 with abysmally cramped turret and that damn suspension. So further studies of another de facto cruiser tank could have influenced the change in british cruiser line.

Which you are not, so don't try to pretend and waste our time. 2)have I talked about ICE cars? My father grew up in a countryside village and used horses for transport and work in his teens. Mind you, it was already 70's. And this is where I've also spent most of my summers as a kid. So fuck off with trying to bullshit me with my right "to fresh air", you have never breathed it to begin with and can't imagine your life without said ICE cars and conveniences they provide. How many times have you used two man saw? Slaughtered a pig? Cleared out a barn form all the shit, Mr.Ecology? And yet humans survived and thrived without personal transportation. Tractors, semis(announcement getting further and further away), service vehicles(cybertruck can be usefull at least here) and public transport make the most difference. Personal sedans are a fucking luxury, if you don't get it. Want to save enviroment and right to fresh air? Ok, let's ban personal transport. I'd survive. Will you, pretender? 3)get back on point, Ford cultist 2.0. What's your gripe with right to repair? What makes you think that you can continue taking away people's property they payed for? And this time stop drooling and running away. You asked to be adressed in this tone, you're getting it.

  4292.  @MrNicoJac  "My immediate reaction would be that assault rifles evolved from rifles, not SMGs." In my comment I'm trying to explain different idea. If designers has a smaller round readily available OR if they had budget and time, ARs would have appeared instead of SMGs. SMGs appeared solely for the reason that only readily available "off the shelf" rounds smaller then rifle ones were pistol ones. Even if you don't read up my follow up comments, this is the reason why I mention Fedorov. He tried making his own weaker round and then he chose 6.5x50mm Arisaka which was borderline touching intermediate rounds(there is that weird czech 7.62x45mm round with similar velocity, bullet weight and muzzle energy as 6.5x50 and for some reason most sources call it intermediate. I don't know if it's a mistake in translation or some new classification quirk).

  4293.  @JanoTuotanto  "Italians and Hungarians to beef up their SMGs." That's already sounding scary considering WHAT those SMGs were.

A good detail to add for possible alternate reality story, basically use said carbine appearance, but maybe in that rumoured italian intermediate cartridge that had connections to french research on Ribeyrolle http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/36/pbwl.jpg https://forum.cartridgecollectors.org/t/italian-intermediate-power-cartridge-1921/14188

Meanwhile FN 5.7 is basically rifle round that was "starving as a teen." I have explained my point better or at least helped to clarify it in comments above.

  4302. Sorry for asking, but there are two questions I've been trying to figure out: 1)"russian" T-62's. The russian media official excuse for getting them back into service was that a factory specialising in their refits in Far East had survived the corruption that had striken T-72 production lines over the years. The reality however is likely connected to the fact that right before that Russia started buying north korean ammo in bulk. And North Korea is main producer of T-62 nowadays. So Russia could just be buying repair kits from NK if not outright delegating the repair work. How can this be checked? Are there any particular markings on north korean engines or transmissions or other units that should be on destroyed T-62's if that were the case? 2)T-72 numbers. Russia has insane disparity between the amount of those it had claimed to be in use and the amount it had when it needed them. Where are they? Were they lost in Syria? Were they cut down and taken for parts to allow production of T-90A and other vehicles like MSTA-S back in 2000's? Were they just sold under the carpet? Or have they never existed and are result of inflated propaganda numbers cooperating with low quality intelligence reports of other countries? Again, how can this be checked? Can serial numbers on units inside T-90A tell if they were taken from T-72B? Hopefully my comment makes sense😅
