>Soldiers and officers familiar with the tank’s operation report that the VT-4 has suffered from frequent malfunctions during both training and operational deployments. These complaints focus on failures observed under sustained use rather than isolated incidents, with crews describing problems that directly affected operational readiness.Of course, we cannot forget the two tanks that blew up. Not because they shot 200 rounds, it was far less and that number was made up by chinks to try and do damage control.https://defence-blog.com/thai-soldiers-criticize-chinese-made-vt-4-tank/Any alternative highly credible sources reporting this?

Finally did Belgrade, holy fuck.Also apparently I somehow sequence broke the whole thing and completely missed the classroom area, didn't realize you could actually befriend the big fetus thingy until after I killed it, might have to do another run to see that.

>>64732730Belgrade is one of the more confusing levels. I like the idea of turning the game into survival horror for one level, but the execution leaves a lot to be desired.

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.

>>64725404>Ignoring the whole "the bigger and heavier your power sourcewell, beyond a certain size you could strap a nuclear reactor to it. ideally with pyrophoric fuel. then the enemy has to consider damage-minimization when trying to fight back.If your soldiers are disposable you can even save on the shielding.So in a different timeline the neo-cccp would be the first to deploy them.
>>64730943Ammo actually does this in game and lore, as blow out panels is somehow a technology that is too big brained to comprehend.
>>64722373Dont you have toilets to clean, freeborn scum?if you take the board game related range restrictions away, tanks are completely mogged by a mech.armored tracked vehicles are limited by terrain.pedals arent.also tiny hands are cool to squeeze infantry and no one who complains here about bt has seen more than some mwo yt snips.play the board game, read the books and come back talking.

>>64731901A missile with a CEP of 1000 feet has 50% odds of falling within 1000 feet of the target.That means it has 50% odds to fall within a circle of 3,14 millions square feet with the target at the center.A Nimitz is about 18250 square feet target.So a missile with a CEP of 1000 feet has 0,3% of managing a direct hit.Now, depending on the warhead, a direct hit might not be needed.And if China dumps 300 missiles per carrier, it would have close to 100% odds of hitting the target.That's a lot of missiles, though, and that's assuming 0% interception.
>>64732905Same anon.Upon closer inspection, a Nimitz has an surface area a bit larger than 18250 feet.Google lied to me and I got lazy.Overall length x beam width gives a maximum area of 275184 square feet, hence the best odds for a direct hit n'y a 1000 feet CEP missile are at 4,38%.So China could dump around 23 missiles and be reasonably certain that 1 of them would hit the target.

>>64729594Yeah I think I will go with the WASR for the safest choice. I think the PSA is just a cosmetic clone, with questionable quality. I like that ZPAP by the way. I initially was going to get a full size Draco, but then I was like well at that price, I should just get a full size rifle. Then the spiraling has continued. I'm nost likely going to get the WASR soon and a ZPAP 85 at some point. I've got the basics down as far as defensive firearms, I'm at the point where I want to buy interesting things/optics and have fun at the range. AR's are fine and all but can just get very boring.>>64730400I haven't but it might be worth a look. I would be a little concerned about getting something that was not treated the best.
>>64731427>full size dracoThe full size Draco is a good idea if you ever want to clone a dragoon.
>>64731473Dragoon looks to be a mini draco with silencer and quad rails.

Word on the street is that the US bagged another 2 shadow fleet tankers today. With one of the tankers being captured using these little guys. Have we begun breaching into the Tom Clancy timeline, or have we always been in the timeline without us knowing?Also, a general thread on these little guys and what can be done to improve on their airframes and tactical usage.

The Blackwater videos reminded me of this old video from the same era that used to get posted on /k/ all the time, it's a bunch of contractors shooting from s roof at insurgents behind a wall, the "main" dude says something along the lines of "it's a hot area". His face was a meme for a while. Anyone know what I'm talking about?
>>64732866>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDoX8UnQ4D0This one?
>>64732886No, although this is a classic too. The one I'm remembering is a lot shakier and has a lot more "colorful language", the main dude looks like a total douchebag with sunglasses if that helps at all

They were for the FARC rebels in Columbia but its probably all over central america too.

>>64732867Trump said he wants 1.5 trillion for the military budget and that he’s pocketing the Venezuela oil money into an offshore account.

>>64732761Same they were fun to shoot in that the recoil felt nice and the cycling of the bolt and the sounds it made was cool But they were t very good guns I think most people suffer from too much nolstagia , cod mw2 on x360 was t a very good game either replay it without the hype
>>64732196Trump said he was thinking about maybe potentially kicking Putin in the balls!

Why wouldn't something like pic related work fine as a "do everything" gun for a person living in the densely forested hills of Appalachia, where the power and ballistic advantage of a rifle simply isn't necessary?>plinking will be good fun with the naturally subsonic .45>definitely suitable for home defense>easy enough to fit in a backpack, or take the can off and carry it on your person>get some .45 Super for killing deer or hogs, or mess around with round ball loadings for taking small game or for pest controlYes, it's true that rifles can be had for dirt cheap these days. And it's also true that there is no real reason to limit yourself to just one gun, especially a handgun. But in an autistic min-max fantasy where you literally can only own one gun and it has to be able to be carried 24/7/365, does a suppressed .45 automatic make sense? The only real downside I see here is that this is not the best option for summertime concealed carry in hot climates.

>>64722920There's also no evidence they weren't
>>64639439>Also they got what they deserved for being weakAdvances in technology can be luck based. They were arguably strong enough locally, Europeans arriving is like alien tech coming over the pond, no amount of strength or foresight can protect you from the new paradigm that appeared from nowhere to you.Might maybe right, but that doesn't mean they are weak, it just means they may have missed fundamental adaptions due to isolation making them weak in comparison to the wider world, connecting to a civilisation that has advances you missed by chance is a dangerous thing. Imagine if Europe never learnt about gunpowder.If the aztecs had access to firearms and modern statehood earlier they may well have been a threat and we'd have to collectively bargain with cannibal nations instead of dominating them.I find it funny when people discuss old western leadership crimes the same way, when they fail to understand is how difficult it is to control people when you don't fundamentally understand how people work. They had to go by vibes so much more than the modern man for even basic functions.Civilisation leadership was also vibes for generations, a lot of British leadership failures in india for instance were tests or inexperience that then lead to sucesses later down the road. We can look back at our ancestors and consider them ignorant, but those ancestors rose from ignorance and built the modern world off of the backs of generations of testing and trial and error.
>>64717905>Incorrectcorrect. worthless clay toys with no utility don't count.>chinampa farming was literally more effective than modern industrial farmingdelusional>>64732765so until you find evidence for it we can safely conclude that they had none.
