>>64747288>Make the suit biggeryeah, let's make the suit bigger, more armored, more capa... ah shit we have an AFV. Heat engines don't scale down well, turbines are awful at scaling down due to the importance of tolerances in their operation.
>>64747404The Fallout 4 power armor really is in the sweet spot.>Small enough it can still fit in (purpose built) APCs/helis>Large enough to carry a meaningful amount of armor/weapons that would not be practical without power armorThe fact it's basically just a frame you can slap whatever modular parts on is a good idea too.
>>64747385>The tech isn't out yet.That's a lie. The tech has been out for years. It simply isn't seeing mass adoption because of ridiculous levels of corruption and cronyism.>>64747395>Wait, so you want Power armor to just be another armored vehicle?Conceptually, that's what all powered exoskeletons are, just in a smaller form factor. A suit standing between 76-84 inches would still be significantly more compact than a wiesel while needing only one operator and being able to carry fairly heavy weapons.>>64747404>Heat engines don't scale down wellAnd yet somehow motorcycles and mopeds still exist.
>>64747430>And yet somehow motorcycles and mopeds still exist.Those engines weigh anywhere from as much as a small asian woman to as much as a lanky sunstarved software developer, and their power-to-weight ratios suck. That's without even factoring in the alternator you need into the weight. If it were as easy as shoving a motorcycle engine into a backpack someone would've done it already you tard.
>>64747446>If it were easy [...] someone would've done it already This is an idiotic argument. You're presupposing that:>the world is fair and everyone has access to all the resources they need to build whatever they can imagine at any time, or that those who fund new technologies are always fair and make sound judgements in what they choose to fund>everything we have right now exists because it is "easy" relative to some arbitrary scale of difficulty, and that anything which does not meet this arbitrary criterion of difficulty is useless or impossible
Let me guess, you think your airforce needs more expensive higher performance aircraft.You could get 5 of these fucks and arm them for the price of an empty KR-67.
>>64745999>The only impractical aspect is linked to the interface that don't make it easy to switch to the next selected target.Huh? You target everything and deselect a target every time you fire
What type of aircraft do you want next?Me: supersonic bomber, I want something more maneuverable and faster than the Darkreach that can carry a few dozen bombs.40 PAB-250LRs loosed going mach 2 would be excellent.
>>64746354You're going to be happy to hear that a supersonic bomber is what is next. The only hints they've given is that it's about >diamond shaped>25 meters longI'm guessing something J36 inspired
>>64746102Good IF you can select them in a good/neutral order, and that can be tricky or take time to zoom, also no going back if you missed the target you deselected.>>64746354>What type of aircraft do you want next?If we want variety, like the other anon say, a supersonic bomber would make sense.But the game could also use a different rank4 aircraft, dual engine, top level, like a super-Rafale, sacrificing stealth for performance (or price).I would also not mind a hind-like helicopter.Or go BIG and start with large aircraft.
>>64746354I would like to see some sort of F-15E or maybe Mig 35 analogue able to carry like a single TBM.
How effective are these guys? They look well equipped and their training is supposed to be quite good.
>>64747436Are these the ones currently operating in Ukraine? They are supposedly formidable fighters there, courageous and daring.
Alright anons show your favourite wheeled IFVs. Just know you will always have to live in the shadow of the bad boy that is called the Boxer. Your inferior dingy shitshacks will have to do for you guys i guess.

So that's it? Russia gave Korea some oil for a one and done in Kursk? Russia didn't hand over some missiles? Koreans not regrouping for another go?

What tools for self defense would you recommend for someone in Europe to have when shit goes down. There are black powder revolvers shotguns and rifles, but you can't buy them everywhere in Europe. There are crossbows and bows but what is really their capacity to defend, and of course air rifles, in some countries they are unrestricted in some countries they are cucked and they are a hassle to have around in the case of an emergency. Better yet what should everybody own, not just weapons, in case they want to survive more than 72 hours.
I really don't understand this because that amount of ammunition in OP is never going to be enough.You'd need so much for it to be a pragmatic amount in an apocalyptic scenario that you should really probably just commit to a single kind of ammunition and tailor your guns around that round instead of trying to just get some ammo for a bunch of different calibers.
>>64746392I break my preps into categories>Water. Water is life. Store as much as you have the space for. FEMA guidelines are 1 gallon of water per person per day. I've got a couple of hundred gallons stored inside the house and up to another 1000 in a tank outside depending on recent weather. Even in an apartment you should be able to find space for two weeks of water.Alongside your stored water have a means of purifying more. Boiling is an option but slow and energy dependent. Unscented bleach is an effective treatment option against bacteria and viruses but has a shelf-life of 6-12 months, powdered calcium hypochlorite (pool shock) is equally effective and lasts for a couple of years depending on how it's stored (both are ineffective against cryptosporidium). Water purification chemicals for camping (aquamira, micropur, iodine) have a longer shelf-life and depending on the chemical may work on crypto but are more expensive. Camping store water filters (e.g. Sawyer Squeeze) are convenient but most won't do anything against viruses. UV purification using either a Steripen or the SODIS method (pic rel) are arguably the best options.>FoodIf you can just buy in bulk what you normally eat day to day then that's the cheapest and most convenient option, but it's dependent on you eating a lot of shelf-stable foods like rice, pasta, oats, etc. If not, then you'll have to buy a few long-lasting foods to keep in the back of your pantry. MREs and dehydrated camping meals are great if you're going to be on the move but unnecessarily expensive if sheltering in place. >ShelterHow do you plan to heat or light your home?>SecurityGuns obviously but also shit like reinforcing exterior doors or security film over the windows>Medical>Comms and informationGet a Baofeng radio, print some local maps off, etcComment too long.

Is it normal for a bit of lead to shave off when pressing the bullets in?Also I accidentally seated one bullet about 3mm too deep but these are mostly empty powderpuff 44 loads so that’s not dangerous, right?
>>64747190Yes but not how your bullets look. Something is slightly off with your loading process. Not enough to be dangerous to fire but not right. Did you resize the cases?
>>64747215I resized them with the Lee 44 Sp die The resizing was the least confusing step desuThe part that gets me is I used HP-38 at the target load level and like more than half the case is empty>>64747197Yeah I think I didn’t flare them enoughThis was my first try at reloading ever and the bullets sat in so I thought good enoughI’ll do more next timeAlso thanks Chad
>>64747258With faster burning powders like HP-38 in a pistol case, a very small portion of the case will be filled. A load of Bullseye makes a .44 Magnum case look absolutely cavernous.
>>64747258Nice bulldog, anon
>>64747292It’s wierd as hell knowing the case is mostly empty and everything is flopping around Is the set back bullet going to be dangerous?I have no bullet puller and my multi tool can’t pull it back >>64747313Ty frien

>>64745968>>64746028>>64746064Is this like when the chinese claim to have won against post war Vietnam because they changed their goals at the very end and settled?
The point of war is not K/D but to achieve your goals. If the Finnish goal was to remain independent, they won, if their goal was to keep their territorial integrity intact, they lost. That's all. If the Soviet goal was to conquer Finland, they lost, if their goal was to conquer a part of it and make them subservient politically they won.
>>64746543Decent analogy but it's worth noting that you can have multiple goals and achieve some but not all. It's much more mixed than binary winning/losing.

>>64747322looks just like the add-on armour they tried for the Comet tank. it was removed when they discovered it did not contribute significantly, if at all, to protection against anti-tank AP shells.so keep in mind that modern tank spaced armour, therefore, is not just a matter of spacing out the armour. it is how that armour is mounted and spaced, that matters.
