When trying to destroy a stationary enemy surface drome, is level bombing like its 1943 really the most effective way to engage them, or is Russia utilizing suboptimal methods here?
>>64768168>in the first months of the Russian military intervention in the Syrian civil war, Russian aircraft equipped with the SVP-24 usually missed their targets by around 100 metresTo put that into perspective, in 1943 the notoriously under-performing Norden bombsight delivered a CEP on average of 370m and it was a self-contained mechanical computer. No electronics, no radar-fed data, no satellite guidance signal, just someone adjusting knobs by hand while squinting through a telescope at 12,000 feet.
>>64768280The one I'm thinking of had someone shining a spotlight on a seadrone that was literally doing donuts right next to the ship
>>64768357What's incredible about the Norden is that a huge degree of what made it underperform wasnt any fault of the device. German smoke screens were very effective in reducing target identification accuracy, and even at wars end the Allies hadnt found a way to combat bombing creepback

>>64768628True but that's more political shit I'm sure Burgerbro's don't care much about, the sheer seething about the SKS being borderline unbannable may bring more universal keks.
What is the best in class for each category? >HMG>MMG>LMG>GPMG>SAWyou can choose the same gun for multiple or all categories.I'd stick with>M2>M240>HK21kinda hard to choose a SAW I like all around more than aforementioned choices
Kord 6P50 FN minimi in. 5.56FN minimi in 5.56Unsure what qualities as GPMG, possibly a M2 browning.SAW is a dubious construct, squads are now made up primarily of automatic riflemen so your LMG typically is your SAW. And something like an akm or g3 with a drum mag, well that's still your SAW.
Also the m2 is dog shit. The US just made a bizarre number of them so they became widespread gpmg.The m2 was never good in a gpmg role either, it's just that the US looked good for having so many mgs, fighting peasant forces who couldn't even field SAW.50. Bmg is not a good cartridge, it's not a good AM cartridge, not a good HMG cartridge. 7.62x39 is far better in all respects, and the M240B was far better then the m2.So the m2 was outclassed so badly that they all became gpmg, the role where their performance matters the least.
>>64761461>>64762851>own categoryThey fall into the LMG category
>>64768601>They fall into the LMG categoryAll SAW are LMG.
based on what I know about these not having shot any of them...>HMGprobably kord, m2 is good but it has weird quirks with headspacing/being heavy and whatnot. not sure how much m2a1 fixes that but it's still 30lbs heavier >MMGprobably mmg338 but i don't know how reliably they actually run. if they're no good, mg3/m240>LMGsame as above, but the m250 and hk4. i don't know how actually useful an m27 would be as a base of fire but they're also cool >GPMGm250/mg3 >SAWm250/hk4some chinese stuff might be pretty good too but nobody but the pla knows how good their stuff actually is for the most part. qjz-171 might be a contender for a very good mmg/hmg if it actually is good

>>64768605they probably did have air superiorityUkraine has been able to temporarily establish air superiority over local areas of the front for at least a year nowThe russians still have lots of AA capability spread out around joint, but it can't stand up to Ukrainian EW and western fast jets without serious backup so the Ukrainians get a window whenever they attack until the Russians can change frequencies and concentrate high end AA in the area

Does anyone here shoot movers?
Anyone have a scope recommendation for a mk12? Ive got a $2.5k budget. This is my first sniper build…Not sure how much is too much.
>>64767399How far are you going to shoot? How far are you going to shoot for 90% of your range time? How close are your closest engagements? What kind of reticle do you want to be looking at? Is it for fun, comps, or hunting?
Shat my pants again today
>>64767989Local range is 500 yards, so that is probably the farthest I will train to. Mainly I want this as a sentry dmr, something I can make quick follow up shots with. Ill probably put a red dot on top of the scope as a backup. With an AEM5 this thing will be pretty heavy, so I don’t mind adding a little more weight for a nice scope. I have no preference for reticles since I have no experience. Can you use .223 for big game? I’d like to get into hunting in a few years. I also own a .270 Sako Finnbear, which my grandfather hunted with. Should I put a nicer scope on it? Feels wrong to tamper with it…but technology has improved so much.
Why didnt they buy the patriot? Is the patriot not as good?
>>64764624>America's first choice was the Israeli radarsNo it wasn't. Iron Dome was chosen as a stop-gap system for the Indirect Fire Protection Capability (IFPC) program. Because the US helped pay for its R&D and production - along with producing components for Iron Dome within the US by US defense companies, and it was a proven system that met the needs for the IFPC program. >but they could not buy them due to Israel refusing to sell source code.They bought them fine. The problem was the US wanted the source code to integrate them into the US Army’s Integrated Battle Command System (IBCS). The problem was that Israel refused to give the source codes and the US couldn't insure Cyber safety nor fully integrate them within the US Army's IBCS.>“We believe we cannot integrate them into our air defense system based on some interoperability challenges, some cyber challenges and some other challenges.”https://www.timesofisrael.com/us-army-scraps-1b-iron-dome-project-after-israel-refuses-to-provide-key-codes/>The raytheon radars were massively inferior to Israeli ones.Got a source for that, or just talking out of your seething blown out brown asshole like you always do? Also, you will never be French you Algerian mutt.>Missile wise, the reason why Singapore bought french is simply because it was better.No, it was because it was cheaper, kick-backs and bribes, and the French will whore out their weapons systems allowing anyone to buy them and use them anyway they want. Just like France whored out its military equipment to Russia.

You've been fagging up boards with shit advice for years. The fact that a retard like you hasn't blown their fuckjng head off and people actually listen to you is proof god does not exist.Just remember Lenny rabbits, while you keep claiming you have reliability issues with various FRT's and 2 stage triggers. I have fixed more than a dozen of people's set ups by simply swapping buffer weight.It's not fucking rocket science. Autismo hands.
Whatever happened to the patch threads?

>>64763770>The patch thread and /ak/ have the highest percentage of hasguns of any given thread on this board/prg/ was always pretty decent too but like 10 anons or something in it so dunno if that counts
>>64768525Fair.It is a but of an outlier due to the low population, it also occurs every month or so. While the /ak/ consistently rolls into a new thread and the patch thread used to do the same.

>>64768460Lol the only AR I even bother cleaning is my mk18. Fat gas port plus a can gets it to the point of not closing fully with the bolt release button after awhile. Everything else is pretty much just yoink the bcgs out, squirt with clp, shove it back in, good to go.
