Why aren't ballistic submarines the backbone of world navies? Why haven't surface ships been relegated to carrier protection and amphibious operations? Why not make SLBMs out of RIM-66s and Standard missiles and Tomahawks and ASROCs? If you want force projection why wouldn't the ambiguity of the presence of submarines be enough to scare your enemies?
>>64746583>Meanwhile, anti-sub aircraft can drop torpedoes and sonobuoys with impunity.you do realize how big the ocean is? have fun finding a needle in a haystack.the best asw is a hunter-killer sub.
>>64746755Doesn't matter. If the enemy is hitting your shipping with air strikes a submarine will not help you.
>>64746743>navy got women nowA strategic error. Women on boats is bad luck; Poseidon will sink their entire fleet as punishment for their impudence.
>>64746824>sinkthats why they are putting then on submarines silly
>>64746812attack subs can sink your carrier.cruise missile subs can destroy your planes when they aren't in the air.
Over the past century, technological changes have come about which would actually make the Ratte a viable platform.>miniaturization of nuclear reactors>miniaturization of nuclear warheads>lasers for defense against drones and missiles>improvements to computers for fire controlThere is no better time than now to build the Ratte.
>>64748025>Bigger size means bigger power plant >Bigger power plant means greater power output>Greater power output means more lasers>Square-Cube Law actually works in favor of armor because it can mount thicker armor with a lower relative surface area
Okay so the ratte doesn't work. Design me something better that does the same thing.

There’s been a noticeable lack of innovation in tactical gear for over a decade now. A Delta operator in 2026 looks nearly indistinguishable from one in 2016. Why are we in this gear plateau? Have we reached the maximum potential for development?

>>64739176A similar style of sword could work, but I remember these things were just fuckoff thick and heavy pieces of wrought iron, so short and clumsy for their heft, more a testament to the movie-uruk's strength than anything.

The dragon is the size of the ones in GOT, use GOT as the point of reference for most everything to be honest. If you want to be a furry abut this you can do a version where the dragon(s) are smart cookies that can talk and junk.
>>64727248>1300's-1400'sIt would be a YUGE factor. In our timeline, gunpowder was discovered by alchemists searching for an elixir of eternal life. In this timeline, gunpowder is invented specifically to kill dragons. Black Powder would be a game-changer and Smokeless Powder can be made as early as the 1500's if there is enough incentive and people working to discover it. The various ingredients to make gunpowder were known to Classical civilizations, it's just no one had the depth of knowledge or incentive to create it. Dragons change that. I'd wager we'd have gunpowder weapons sooner than in our current timeline. Armies would be smaller in number, lighter, and more elite units, as soldiers would have to be VERY well-drilled to handle dragon attacks.>Missile infantryUsed to distract or possibly even get a lucky kill and to harass/suppress enemy infantry>Pikemen/SpearmenUsed to protect Combat Engineers and a last ditch anti-dragon formation. The sarissa is the primary anti-dragon infantry weapon.>Combat EngineerA cross between Missile and Skirmisher infantry; well trained at crewing animal-drawn weapons like Catapults, Ballista, Trebuchet, and other artillery weapons. Later, they get cannons. Able to also engage in siege works, build camps, and even conduct engineering operations for the marching army.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>64747255>tercios specializing in anti-dragon operationsI like it.>>64746238>Dragons are bullshitNah, dragons are cool because they cause so much seething.
>>64747377It gets wilder. >EducationYou can't afford to have an uneducated populace, as you need a sizeable portion of your population to be smart enough to increase the pool of recruits for your engineering corps. Knowledge would be a powerful tool for building dragon-proof fortresses, anti-dragon armor/weapons, mechanics for engineering, alchemy; the list goes on. Literacy would be higher overall, in this timeline, because it would be necessary for survival. In the event that a dragon torches your city, you'd need everyone to be smart enough to help rebuild, or at least capable of following written instructions and institutional knowledge. Libraries would be even more valuable than they were in the ancient past, with a book on geometry or construction being worth its weight in gold.Dragons would be an evolutionary pressure for mankind, as we would no longer be apex predators but one rung down on the food chain. It's only due to dragons not seeing most humans as a territorial threat but simply another edible thing in their world, that we are able to co-exist with them at all. >LegitimacyA ruler without the ability to control dragons is at best, just a warlord. If a dragon begins causing trouble, they're fucked. A dragon-blood king on the other hand could simply walk up and tame the beast. A practical version of "divine right". >Religion and GovernmentDragons form a universal yin/yang concept across mankind. Able to wreak havoc or create a time of plenty. With a dragon, you can institute whatever kind of government/social structure you want. With a large royal family of dragon riders, you can conquer nations. Dragon Feudalism would be the standard government structure, with Monarchies, Republics, Tyrannies, Patron-Alliances, and Free-Holds/Cities, and Marches everywhere. Comment too long.

>>64745354Literary rates in the US are split in to 3 levels, with Level 3 being the highest; anything below is considered “partially illiterate.” From 2017, we had 48% of the adult population reading at Level 3, 33% at Level 2, and 19% for Level 1. There was a 2% increase in Level 1 and a 2% decrease in Level 3 from 2012. For 2021, the rates are now at 28%, 29%, and 44% for Levels 1, 2, and 3 respectively. Numeracy rates have remained relatively the same, but people are becoming more illiterate for this past decade alone. Not to say that means people are becoming dumber, but being literate is a huge hurdle for the modern world and being able to make effective decisions in an information and text rich world. One could argue that you probably want to be able to read the name of the person you’re voting for on a ballot, but if you see announcements for portraits being put on ballots then you know why.
>>64745360Yes and they were right.
>>64747153The real doomer shit isn't adults, it's children. >The 2024 results show that fewer than a third of students nationwide are working at the NAEP Proficient level in reading at both grades. Scoring at the NAEP Proficient level means consistently understanding written text and interpreting its meaning.>Around 40 percent of 4th graders are working below the NAEP Basic level in reading, the largest percentage since 2002. Fourth graders scoring below NAEP Basic likely cannot recognize a reason for a character's action implied in a story. About a third of 8th graders nationwide are failing to hit the NAEP Basic benchmark in reading — the largest percentage ever.A third of 8th graders in the 2024 NEAP assessment can't explain a character's motivation from context in writing.

Hello everybody, Bonkanon here. Today we'll be making a morning star from exotic African hardwoods.Most of the materials are in picrel. Wenge for the head and shaft (hehe), a piece of black-and-white ebony for the handle, and some African Blackwood for handle accents & pommel.
>>64745363I tried HSS on dried wood and didn't have much luck. Cupped carbide cutters like Hunter offers seems to do ok for me. I think I get a worse finish with maple and several other woods I don't remember right now than I do with wenge but generous sanding and CA glue works for me since I'm rarely turning anything where tolerances matter.

>Rheinmetall is supplying Ukraine with additional systems for national defence. The country is set to receive its first Lynx KF41 infantry fighting vehicles as early as the beginning of 2026. A contract to this effect was signed in December 2025. The order value for the first five combat vehicles is in the mid double-digit million euro range, with the systems being financed by the Federal Republic of Germany.>The decision in favour of the Lynx KF41 was made after extensive testing of the next-generation infantry fighting vehicle (IFV). The IFVs will feature the two-man Lance turret and be configured specifically for Ukraine’s armed forces. The next step is to procure additional batches, including production in Ukraine.
