Are the marines losing their magic? Seems less and less appealing to join the marines compared to every other branch nowadays. Was it ever good?
you only join the marines during a long drawn out conventional war. particularly in vietnam, it was either deal with draftees or join the marines. i dunno how hard it was to join the air force but something tells me, very hard.i recall in afghanistan marines were constantly hitting IEDs on convoys because their retarded SOPs told them to drive as fast as possible to lower your chances of hitting them.
>>64747602>i dunno how hard it was to join the air force but something tells me, very hardOnly if you're borderline retarded.
>>64747552As tech is dominating the battlefield the navy and army are basically doing the job of the marines now. Even the air force is doing their job too
All the stupid violent young men are signing up for ICE.
>>64747552All the Marines I met made a very good impression on me, funnily enough the same with ex FFL who were European, absolute gentlemen and honorable in the real sense of always repaying a favour or debt and being polite and not headbangers or bullshitters.There is a joke someone once told me thoughThe miltary are doing a recuitment drive for 18 year olds in the UK and they send a para and a royal marine commando Jimmy walks into the Para and the Para asking him why he wants to join the militaryJimmy Says"I want to defend my nation, see the world, help defend our world against madmen and dicators and become the best I can be"The Para looks at him and says"Go next door to the Marine Commandos"Billy walks into the Marine Commandos and the soldier asks him"Why do you want to join the Marine Commandos?"Comment too long.

It's that time of year /K/ommandos! Were we reminisce the years that have past and look forward to the new one that is now unfolding! And that includes thinking up of goals for ourselves to achieve this year! You have been thinking of how to become a better /K/ommando right anon?Anyway, I haven't seen one of these threads in a few years, so lets get one going. How do you rank against your fellow /k/omrades?Bonus points if you can add stories about your achievements. Also maybe its time to update the board? Add a few more,

Anywho, moving on..*Overseer looking confused before frantically flipping a few pages*>And it appears every Vault resident also has a personal, pre-stocked gun cabinet in their quarters to.. help protect against the tyranny of the red invaders. That's.. that's great... of course we'll have to have all these weapons registered and kept in the armory to avoid any unfortunate accidents. But for tonight! Everyone get settled into your new homes! Tomorrow is a bright new day, in our brand new vault!

>>64745085T-72 production numbers are inflated by UVZ. If there was even one new serialized part, like a set of tracks, UVZ would count that as an entirely new tank. And the T-64 was exclusively produced in Ukraine.>>64745089The T-72 was sort of retard-proofed? Mostly in manufacturing. Even the operating costs of the T-72 are higher. The main reason I suspect that the T-72 was adopted was Russian favoritism in the USSR, a lot of post-Soviet sources seem to agree that it was a UVZ handout. Also, UVZ (and really many factories in the USSR) couldn't quality assure high pressure hydraulic lines needed for the MZ autoloader, and this is a gripe I've seen in Soviet sources. That's why they went with the electromechanical AZ autoloder, even though it's literally the single most expensive part of the T-72. A lot of the USSR and its allies simply lacked Malyshev's technical expertise. Another reason is the T-72 was likely more profitable than the T-64 due to licensing agreements and exports. The T-72 could be exported to other countries and built by them under license, the T-64 could not.
The problem with the T-64 is its ugly suspension, if they slapped the T-72 suspension on it, it would've been popular.
>>64742079>how does it turnOh my sweet summer child. Same way you turn a sleigh, you introduce asysmmetric drag.>What was it armed with? Nothing! It was just supposed to crush the enemy under its weight.So what you actually wanted to say is that this is the most based tank of WW1, yes?

Does he deserve his shit reputation for the Battles of the Isonzo? After all what else could he realistically have done? He had a very narrow mountainous front with no room for any sweeping manoeuvres or flanking. And he won most of the battles.
all I know is the Italians were the worst army in both world wars
>>64741372>harsh disciplinary regimeWasnt he using the fucking decimation? Like what the fuck man.
>>64747834It was used once, against troops who mutinied and started firing on fellow Italians. They were honestly lucky they weren't all hung.

>>64747826Bullshit, they defeated the huge Austro-Hungarian army with German support in terrain totally suited to defensive warfare. Look up the Arditi - some of the most incredibly brave and skilled soldiers who ever lived.

How the fuck do you even make mechs make tactical sense?They present a high as fuck target, have these thin chicken legs with a million moving parts, exert ludicrous ground pressure. They cost probably as much as a nuclear submarine, are limited by line of sight, would be fucked up by a tank, couldn't touch a modern jet that could kill it from 30000 feet high and 10 miles away etc.Like how the hell do you bend the rules of your universe to make these I wouldn't be sperging out about this if Battletech was lemonade sci-fi running on the rule of cool and the power of friendship, but its intended audience was milsim autists who willingly bought hundred-page pretend technical manuals for these pieces of garbage.
>>64741591>They aren't, though. Simplification doesn't mean nerfSave or die is a blatant nerf and it's on top of them already being slightly less effective at cost. That you "might survive" to suffer regular tracked, diminishing health damage is your best hope. The mech knows it will survive. This is also on top of multiple other changes that give mechs better options like including optional ammo types as standard rules.>>64741612The urbanmech is gay and reddit and shit.>>64741629Then you should know better, unless your grog dementia has rotted your brain into thinking being overcosted for your role and worse but you can potentially sort of make up for it in the most optimal possible map scenario is a great big plus. Hey I hear submarines are way stronger than mechs if you play in the fucking ocean lolBattletech tanks are weak, gay, ugly, and no one wanted to run them in the game about cool giant robots that own tanks so they're making them at least easy to play for the flair they'll add when they blow up and make the mechs look cooler.
>>64744731>Then you should know betterI do, and you're wrongTabletop tankfagging was/is real; it's perfectly viable to run a tank-only force in a standard game if people don't bring exotic ammo, and no-one hardly ever doesand if they do bring exotic ammo to cheese with, tankfags can just break out the Scorpion spam>The urbanmech is gay and reddit and shit.just because Youtube popularised the meme doesn't make the meme itself gay
>>64744712Did G-witch really do that well? I haven't been in the loop on that one.
anything is better than Gcuuucks
>>64744866>bring exotic ammo to cheese withpssh, what kind of power gamer brings the ammo made in-universe to fight against the proper units? >and no-one hardly ever doesYeah cause no one hardly ever brings the vehicles they're made to destroy lolBesides, these are all things they're specifically informing players about with regards to their options now. Bringing nothing but hornets to pick on unsuspecting players is just bad sportsmanship, bad for the game, and they're fixing it so now even little billy will be clearly informed by the devs he can just bring a rifleman and sweep.

>3D Printed GunsWhat are the best filaments you guys are using for frames and gun parts? Is it still PLA + or are the different carbon/glass infused filaments better?What are you guys printing?
>>64747179Just like those old Thunderzapp bullets!
>>64743866Cheap ass Enders are just as good as Bambu stuff with the caveat that you can print stuff quite a bit faster on Bambu machines
>>64743866>>64743818I upgraded from an Ender 3 to a P1S. I've printed guns and gun parts on both. If you're broke, the Ender is totally fine if you spend a bit of time dialing it in. Leveling is a pain in the ass sometimes, but you can upgrade to an auto-leveling system if you want.For what it's worth, the P1S is awesome. I wouldn't have bought it if I were buying new just based on some of the Chinkery that goes on with the Bambu ecosystem but I ended up with it as repayment for a loan. Its crazy how fast it prints compared to a stock Ender 3, and lots of little QOL stuff makes the experience that much smoother. I don't really care for their slicer program, but it's fine. Print quality has been fantastic with two different nozzle sizes and the enclosure is nice to keep the smell and noise down. AMS unit comes in handy, but I generally just use PLA+ for everything (I mostly use it for /tg/ projects)My first printer was an Anet A8 and that thing was an absolute fire hazard.
>>64747392>>64747733Thanks anons I appreciate your feedback.Context: current printer is a Sovol SV06 Plus, had it since they were released in...2023? A couple of years. I've calibrated it per the Ellis guide, built an enclosure for it, 2nd hotend assembly that I use with my hardened nozzles if I ever print something that needs them.Printing with it can be so frustrating. It's fine for most prints but i don't like pushing it above 50mm/sec. It's not Klipperized but I'm considering it if only for input shaping. I'm tech savvy so it's not a big deal to do this, just haven't done it yet.From what I've read about the P1S makes me really consider it. The telemetry is concerning but if it's really obstructive I can figure out a networking solution to keep it online but unable to touch my server.Budget idk around $5-600 and even better if I can get it on Amazon: my work gives out $75 gift cards as performance incentives so I hoard them.

>>64716073This building reacts like this due to it's prefabricated concrete pannel design. It wasn't tried by only socialist states but also western states.

>>64732722>Proper drainageVery true. Germans 200 years ago knew this>t. Posting from inside a 200 year old German house on formerly German clay.The roof fell apart and it nearly went down because the outside brick is cooked but the inside brick isn't and would just wash away. Gutter water also had to be sent a metre or two away from the foundations to prevent further cracking in the walls due to sinking in wet clay.
Knowing nothing, looking at >>64720442 makes me wonder about rebar, does curving it's form reduce it's integrity? I imagine if it was that way as a consequence of bending it on site the same alloy capable of such wouldn't have the weight bearing capacity to not bend under load while curing, but say you mold, an alloy incapable of cold bending to the shape desired like a blacksmith would make a fancy iron gate then coat it. Would any issue arise?
