>>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.

>When Otto Saur [state secretary in the Armaments Ministry, and Speer's deputy] subsequently noted Hitler's disappointment, he began an enthusiastic Suadela about the chances and the technological significance of this monster.... Unconfirmed reports that the Russians were building superheavy tanks furthered the exuberance, and in the end, both, free of all technical obstructions, praised the overwhelming fighting power of a tank weighing 1,500 tons, which was supposed to be transported in parts on trains and assembled before going into action.>When a highly decorated Oberst of the Panzer arm finally interjected that a single hand grenade or a Molotov cocktail could set alight this vehicle's oil vapors if it were set off near the cooling air intake, Hitler replied angrily about this annoying comment: 'Then we will just equip this tank with automatic internally guided machine guns in all directions.' Turning to the Panzer colonel, he added in a schoolmasterly tone: 'After all, in all modesty I can claim that I am no dilettante in this field, for I armed Germany. " This requires no further comment.-German Superheavy Panzer Projects of World War IIHitler being reasonable as usual. Just add more dakka.

Why did you post him, you'll summon "it".
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.
>>64741344Go to fucking Serbia and reinforce their army. Not only you have ally who actually kicked Austria ass before German saved them, you will have a Balkan country firmly in Italy sphere.
>>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. In the 1960s a gas explosion in London England caused one pannel section to cascade through flats below it causing a horrific disaster and so this construction method is not used much anymore.

>>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?

>>64747067it does seem like they have to thicken up the receiver area to prevent a concussive effect to the user. they also typically have a 20+ inch steel barrel running through them, plus the trigger bar.

this thing will probably be the best all-rounder daylight optic for the foreseeable future.throw a dot on top and you're set. what more could you ask for?
>>64744493these things are perfect battle rifle/DMR optics
>>64747247I'm sure Ill get plenty of hate but when I think "DMR" I'm thinking at least 800 yards and out there I'd probably want 20x or even like a 25-30x
>>64747887DMR is like ~1km and in. you're not shooting exclusively at range and you're still part of a squad that's running around doing normal squad things.30x is stationary sniper hide type shit where the targets are always super far away.if you look at actual military DMRs, they're all medium power scopes.
>>64747898There is 5-25x and even 4-32x optics out there dude
>>64732839who is this even for?
How many presidents directly oversaw spec:ops missions? What do you think the view was for Trump during the Maduro raid? Was Richard Nixon in the operations room with MACV-SOG?
>>64747990Not spec ops, but Lincoln had a habit to personally relaying orders to generals because he basically had an entire telegraph office set up in the White House and would spend hours each day reading every single communiqué that came in. This meant that he he often had more real time updates on the progress of battles than officers in the field.
