Having more hulls just puts lipstick on it and doesn't actually solve the fundamental issues.Having more hulls solves 1 out of 3 of the fundamental issues. Yes, the manning is a bigger "1" than the hulls "1", you are right there.

>>64688580Not all bolters are the same caliber and/or intended for the same purpose.
>>64688891You miserable little lying nigger faggot if that was the explanation every bolter would have the same PROPORTIONATE barrel length regardless of caliber and they fucking don't.

>>64686126I feel like some kind of elf-ear shaped cups would be a terrible idea to try and don/doff quickly. I would imagine Elves would really lean into ear-buds/ear plugs and probably have soft covers to help keep their ears from sticking out if its necessary.
>>64689663It's not like you really need to take earpro off quickly, electronic stuff you can just leave on even if you're out hunting.Also if they have anime elf ears that have some degree of mobility (ear wiggles) they can probably put them on pretty easily by just moving their ears into place when sliding them on.

>>64639246>Eh sorta wrong, the Spanish raised huge native armies b/c the Aztecs were so fuckin horrible.Nonsense. While Cortez mentions the fat cazique comlaining about Aztec spies, the vast majority of Aztec vassals remain neutral until Tenochtitlan fell or in one instance, Cortez engineered a coup of the local ruler to swing them to their side. Cortez' ally was the Tlaxcalans (emphatically not Aztec subjects, but an independent state), and that was it.The Aztecs were exceptionally belligerent, resembling Rome in this regard, but they were also fine with letting people be after defeating them. As long as they paid their tribute and maybe provided soldiers, they could keep their rulers, gods and so on. No resettlement, no forced labour. Again mirroring Rome.And domestically, the Aztecs also had fairly remarkably social mobility through military service. Which, hey, once again mirrors Rome!The Inca by contrast, had fuckall social mobility and were exceptionally happy to engage in forced resettlements and mass conscript labour. >>64668662Cocolitzli was a direct consequence of the collapse of living conditions through forced labour and the Spanish neglecting sanitary infrastructure.

>>64689204>>64686615The best designs were found. The end. This is what happens with all technologies, they get optimized until you reach close to optimal for any given function. Why make some new platform that will at best do the same but cost more?
Patents expired, faggots proliferated.
>>64689204They do, though.
>>64686615For the civilian sphere, its the death of milsurp. There may be interesting shit out there, but it isn't making it to American shores and much of it is just being destroyed outright at the end of its service life. To a secondary extent its the sanctions on China and Russia, a lot of the weird one-offs the Russians have made over the years could have been commercially successful if given access to the US market, and 800 dollar QBZs with pallets of bulk 5.8 would probably be an enticing beginners rifle. On the military side, the Fukuyama mind poison after the cold war made everybody too comfortable with not producing their own shit, and when everybody closes their arms factories then the potential for unusual domestic designs is murdered in the cradle and you can only really buy from a handful of sources, who are either making ARs, piston ARs, AKs or some SCAR clone. Regarding SMGs and battle rifles, they've just decline in relevance in general; so the market share only supports a handful of designs and so countries are conservative about what they buy.

Why was the Longbow in use for literally 300 years when it simply could not penetrate armor? I have watched several experiments with modern reproductions and never once has it achieved penetration of plate armor. In this latest one they can't even pen at point-blank range a late medieval brigandine and cheap Sallet helmet which was worn by poorfag troops. Rich nobles wore high-end bespoke plate made from tempered steel with every surface calculated to deflect blows and it would have zero chance against that. The amount of training that went into using the bow doesn't seem worth the results.https://youtu.be/SFFgcTzCvMo
>>64689612Why aren't they mentioned in the text then? Shouldn't all unarmored crusaders be killed by bows the moment the crusade started, leaving only the giga tanks triple wrapped in chainmail to be pincussioned remaining?
>>64684834The version England used was just an cargo cult copy with bad construction, inferior materials and poorly trained conscript troops. Marco Polo heard stories about the Yumi (itself a copy of a Chinese design) and tried to copy it. Not having access to bamboo they ended up making a poor quality bow that had to used on foot, England could not afford a professional warrior class so they could train men to ride a horse OR use a bow, not both. Even if they could have afforded more than a few days of training a year their technology was lacking as they couldn't make an asymmetric bow and didn't even know reverse archery stirrups existed. Even if they knew what reverse archery stirrups were not only did they lack the engineering need to make them they didn't have access to the horseradish tincture (whose only source was Japan) needed to properly cure the leather to the required level of elasticity. This means that without reverse archery stirrups magnifying the force even if they could make a Yumi it would not have it's maximum range and armor piercing ability. Recent advances in theoretical alternate archeology have proven that the myth of Agincourt is exactly that: None of the French knights were killed by English stone arrowheads but by crossbow bolts fired from Indian copies of Chinese crossbows, most likely acquired by Genoese traders via low quality export models dumped in India.
>>64689590Mail in general is attested to be vastly more effective in historical sources than what modern experimentation tries to show.

>In Moscow, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated that "Japan's leadership is attempting to accelerate militarization," with reference to increased defense spending under the Sanae Takaichi administration. Amid escalating Japan-China tensions, he expressed Russia's firm support for China's position on the Taiwan issue, inferred that Russia would provide China with military assistance in bringing Taiwan back under China's control, and made veiled threats about the consequences of Japan interfering.>This appears to refer to Prime Minister Takaichi's parliamentary response regarding a Taiwan contingency potentially constituting a "survival-threatening situation," the Japanese government's proposal of a record-high defense budget for fiscal 2026, and considerations to revise the three non-nuclear principles. Lavrov pointed out that the "acceleration of militarization" under the Takaichi administration "will clearly have a negative impact on regional stability."Source:https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/c5993ae64bfc1aa80ba17f8036e6546ea4030addI am under no delusion that Russia's much-diminished military could provide any meaningful aid to a Chinese marine invasion of Taiwan. Nor am I deluded enough to believe that this is anything more than lip service from Russia to China--probably directly requested by China--in relation to China's crashout over the Japanese PM stating that Japan would defend Taiwan from invasion as a matter of national self-preservation. However, I hope that statements like these from Russia convince Japanese that they have skin in the game, that it is better to kill Russians in Ukraine than in Hokkaido, and that Japan should start sending real military aid to Ukraine.
