Still reeling from the sheer retardation of the Battleship proposal, plus that it'll be replacing the DDG(X) project.But the FF(X) looks good. It won't have VLS in it's first flight, but it'll have an established supply chain and available logistics for repair and maintenance. As long as they don't try to make more capable than it needs to be, i think it'll be a good boat.
>>64682548>>64682585It's 2025, you have a web of unmanned pickets with sonars, you don't need a helicopter flying around which can never get close to 100% uptime
>>64682644Better to have both. Don't put your eggs in one basket.
>>64682644You don't need 100% uptime from an ASW helo. If they drop sonobuoys, those sensors stay active for hours at a time, if they get a contact you can then send the helicopter back out, at which point it can use it's dipping sonar to get a firing solution and then drop it's torpedo(s). All things which can be done hundreds of miles away from the ship.You're no different to the "everything is obsolete now because drones" smoothbrained retards that have sprung up over the past few years.
>>64674827From the looks of it it's more in line with an old WW2 sort of DD. A small, fast escort, patrol or raiding ship. In the context of a fleet containing a "battleship", these would fight other small boats trying to rush down the battleship (with the main gun on the front and any secondaries, maybe also the missiles at long range), and also have some utility against larger targets (Anti ship missile launchers on the stern).

>>64674842Evening all. My brother and I have been eyeing CSX E's for their size and capacity. They look sweet to me, but I know their reception has been so-so. The E series is great and the price is way better than what I would have expected, but I'm curious if anyone ever managed to make a good trigger for the original CSX to address the trigger issues. That along with ergos and the lack of an optic cut is what I can find were the low points on the original gun. Anyway, tldr what are your thoughts on the original CSX? Bonus if you have the CSX E and can speak to that as well.
>>64683033My CSX 1st gen has a 4.5 pound trigger, I dry fired the fuck out of it but it's known that triggers vary between guns. There are guides to remove the false reset and a basic trigger job out there. The fix is rather simple for the false reset, it happens because the trigger lets off the firing pin block plunger all at once, the fix was to ramp the plunger so it's let of gradually IIRC. It's a nice little gun that's not a glock or a Sig, a small SAO alumnium frame with a 10 to 17 round capacity. Manual safety allows you to load and unload the firearm with the safety on, unlike guns like a 1911. My dad's CSX E series (2nd gen) still has the false reset. Never tried to figure out why since it's not my gun.

Do you know how many boars you'd have to kill to equip even a small force with this kind of helmet?? Leather, wool and wood. That's what most helmets/caps would have been made of. They don't survive long or are reused in other things until they're destroyed.

>>64682680>as for modern AP, I can still say, it probably hes the best chance to stop your mentioned threats, out of any civ-sold plate. it did stop SLAP, (v50)Granted, it did that two or three times, but if we're getting engaged by M948 then things have really gone to pot and threats like .338 AP529 are in play. What I would like to see is a TiB2-SiC version of the 8002 that splits the difference between the 8002 and Colossus halfway in cost but beats the Colossus on raw threat level. Similarly, 7.5lb "Heavy Colossus" that stops very hard shit like .338 7N49 and AP529 cold, along with M948 100% of the time. I think Jake's a shady guy (pic rel is his first business address back at Diamond Age - a supplement store in TX) but the strength of the TiB2-SiC he's peddling is undeniable. IMO, that's the future of midweight ceramics as soon as it becomes price-effective from other guys.This is apocryphal and totally anecdotal, but I remember seeing a RUAG presentation showing a Level IV plate losing to M993 at 150 meters, but when backed by doubled-up IIIA M993 could not beat it at all. Worst case scenario, back the 8002 or Colossus with good soft armor to try and shorten the odds.>picrel: you with that 7.5lb plateCeradyne 80571 in the fresh, .50 BMG protective with standoff. Very nice! For the record, my 2230s are 0.8lb lighter than G1 1155s, over a pound lighter than honestly sized Highcom 4S17Ms, and 0.2lb lighter than Hesco 4403s.
>>64682610>7.62x51 Swiss P AP is from 1998 and M993 originates in the 1970s. They aren't really modern designs a la AP11LR, 7N37, 7N51, DM151, M1158, or the .300 / .338 heavy hitters.Aside from 7N37 and XM1184 the real "heavy hitter AP" is rare as hell, even in military service. And I remember that people on X.com were saying that the Russians don't even issue tungsten-core small arms any longer, that everything people are finding is all steel-core these days.Rusanon, is that true?
>>64681356This is one of those things, I can't really tell if it's cool or cringe.
>>64682852>Aside from 7N37 and XM1184 the real "heavy hitter AP" is rare as hell, even in military service.Don't forget XM1154, the .338 Lapua ADVAP, and M1162, the .338 Norma version of AP529. Swedes have a better M948, Germans run DM151 and .300Win DM131. The issue is less that it's rare, more that it is held in reserve for when it's actually needed. As a hypothetical, I'd be willing to bet that if Buffalo dipshit rolled a pair of XSAPIs or Adept Collosi instead of RMA 1093s, that'd make the news and there would be a kneejerk adoption of exotic AP across numerous PDs.Active shooters are bad. Heavily armored active shooters are worse. >Russians don't even issue tungsten-core small arms any longer, that everything people are finding is all steel-core these days.I'll let Rusanon answer, but they did recently upgrade their 7.62x54R "super AP" to 7N51, which is a longer-core beefed up 7N37. I think it's primarily steel core but primo units get the very good stuff. Obviously it all takes back stage versus artillery, drones, etc.
>>64682883>everything people are finding is all steel-core these days.I haven't been active service for a long time, so I'm not up to date on current state of supply in the services. But if I were to hazard an educated guess, the operating word here is>findingServices, units and even teams within one unit can vary wildly in the gear and supply they're rolling, depending on the task. Basic bitch infantry is holding the trenches with 74s or early 12s, clad in Ratnik or even obsolete steel-plate bullshit like Kora-Kulon, and shooting basic bitch PS or PP steel-cores. VDV trench raiders, the ones that new shorty AK-12K are made for, or the marine assaulters are most likely stomping around in Strelok gear with new exxtra thicc Granits and rocking hard-steel BP, or tungsten BS\PPBS ammo. And even they probably don't take it to the range, saving it for the real action. Similarly, nobody's gonna stick SNB precision penetrators into a PKM belt, those are probably only issued to SSO sniper teams, along with the new hotness in .338. tl;dr the dudes slinging carbide ammo don't leave it lying around and rarely leave anyone alive to find their ammo and report back about it. >>64682883>that'd make the news and there would be a kneejerk adoption of exotic AP across numerous PDs.Then and ONLY then, and not really widely. Liability is a huge concern for "democratic" police forces, and thus possibility of overpen is to be avoided at any cost. It was US LE that drove most of the development of pistol-caliber hollow-points and other high-energy-transfer projectiles, self-defence crowd caught up later.That being said, yes, you should thank God that would-be mass-shooters are universally retarded.

What's the deal with the ISV? Does it make any sense? Is it retarded?
>>64681140I think it was designed for a war without FPV drones in it to be as light and fast as possible while also carrying a lot of people. In the new reality I think that it at least needs a roof ( something for a dropped grenade to bounce off of at least)and also possibly doors on the cabin but these could be short windowless doors rather than a fully sealed cabin. The rear you could have a removable soft cover for.
>>64683008>deflectionI accept your deeply retarded concession.

>>64683023>cost per unitIt's already been posted in the thread, $155,000 or so.You seem to be hyperfixated on the total program cost, which includes all that frontloaded administrative and bureaucratic overhead I mentioned. The longer the program runs, the closer the number you're obsessed with (annual program budget/annual units acquired or ordered) will approach the line item number.
