Why is holding a pistol like this so common in movies and videogames? Is there any real world purpose to instead of just holding it arm down pointed at the ground? Feels like it'd get tiring pretty quickly
>>64658501You've got to have a very active imagination to really enjoy it. If you can think it up, you can do it in game.If you need linear progression and a set story, you won't like it.I've been playing since 2009; I've met literal 80 year olds who play, its appeal really spans all ages and demographics.
>>64658422Sure, there's lots of super popular games that do that, but they tend to be a different type of game. Minecraft is more about the wonder of exploration or creating whatever you can dream up, it's not really about completing objectives or advancing the plot like most games.>>64658546I can definitely see the appeal, for me the blocky art style of the creatures is a massive dealbreaking turnoff. I've enjoyed similar games though, like say DQ Builders.
>>64658527i wonder how many stellar blade webms this dude has on his computer
>>64658573That's understandable, honestly I thought it looked like shit when I first started playing.I guess it grew on me because I no longer notice.
>>64658398You don't get it. >Game is being developed>Mission is to kill some NPC out of a group>101 IQ play tester does a drive by on a motorcycle>Game dev adds mission step to obtain free sniper rifle before you go kill target>110 IQ play tester crashes plane into target after dev also put in concrete barriers to prevent cars (but not bikes) from mowing down target>89 IQ tester, just like all others, have no choice but to snipe target from the worst possible spot because mission won't succeed otherwise>Studio starts patting themselves on the backDidn't use to be the case in GTA 3 from what I remember but GTA IV had special scripted driving sequences where NPC cars would ignore you shooting out their tires. It's just infantile bullshit.

Kind of looks pretty when the light hits it just right
>>64658246The best property of glass is that it's beautifully nonreactive with most stuff.But glass can skill be scary in that if I offered you a million bucks to dive through 100 panes of glass naked, you'd start worrying that glass is awfully hard and sharp.So how can you separate incredibly small hard sharp glass bits from the soil, given that it's this beautifully nonreactive material? Or are there no small hard sharp glass bits really to worry about?>>64658420The cross section of the shortest axis of the glass core of a 50km spool of drone fiber is measured in micrometers. That's the scary part if you get bits of that glass through any action of war / harvesting / processing.I'd love a study that just says nah, we checked and 99% stays coated in the plastic sheath and the remaining 1% gets roughed out in the threshing process and you just poop it out fine. But this thread exists because this is a novel phenomenon, which nobody has yet farmed or studied much because it only exists on this active frontline, so there's naturally a worry there's some health effect.Soon we'll see fiber drones trialed by peacetime militaries who can afford to go out into the practice range and extensively study it, or just sold in large quantities commercially, and then as the saying goes asses will be in asses and everyone will know everything.

instead of previously planned 64 cellsit will also feature the AEGIS system and SPY-6 radarthey will likely come with Tomahawks for land attack as well8 units are planned now instead of previously 526 bn euros have been designated for the projectthese will likely become the most powerful surface combatants in Europe
>>64657057No one wanted to pay for the integration; they did initial proof of concept testing that the missile would physically fit and could punch through the metal cover.
>>64655714The Hood was not a battleship, it was a battlecruiser, without the armament to withstand battleship shells.Hence why the Bismark sank it in 5 volleys.
>>64651782What an ugly soab
>>64651364Why aren’t they using domestic german radar?
>>64658102Because they want something good.HENSOLDT probably could whip something up given a decade and tons of money, but they'd spend a ton of time getting it to integrate with the Canadian AEGIS-derived combat management system. The US has two more or less "off the shelf" BMD radars you can buy today with minimal R&D required.

What is the best army officer branch? Is direct MI or Cyber worth it? Is there ever going to be a drone branch or are we just gonna keep loooocalizing drones to specialists with 1 hour of flighttime
>>64658189CG doesn't have any terrible spots, maybe the PNW I guess. Even Alaska is a unique experience. They try to put you where you want to go but sometimes they can't accommodate your requestsI know people who thought they would hate it in a certain region/sector only to find out they loved it. There's really no good advice here, you have only a little say and lots of people are put on a cutter out of boot camp anyways.
>>64658337Ah i didnt know about the cutters, i dont think my wife would be too happy about me not being home for days or weeks at a time regularly. I have a recruiter from ussf who wants me to follow up but i wanted to look into other branches and compare
>>64656913They won’t take you on house arrest loser
>>64657200Trades in the civilian world are not a waste of time but trades in the military are not great. Higher risk of injury and you probably wont get to do your job that much.I suggest infantry, EOD, combat engineer, literally anything else except trade specialist or construction engineer.You join the military to join the military, you do trades to be a tradesman. You wont get trade experience inside that will benefit you on the outside. You wont get to work on things you want to work on.

>>64657570>tanks are obsolete>both sides want as many tanks as they can get>Ukraine is ordering tanks from NATO members while Russia is ramping up refitsYes anon, both countries have no idea how the war they are fighting is playing out and only you understand tanks are obsolete.

>>64657989Drones pose a very real threat to MBTs and will be countered by hard kill systems just like when SPAA was integrated into armoured units in WW2 to counter ground attack planes.Now because most of the world is at peace it'll be a slow process and we might need to wait 10 or 20 years for the new integrated SPAA to be fielded but they will be and MBTs will live on as the point of the spear.
>>64657570>shielded hammer.I would have suspected they simply were fire-brigade defense attachments to static infantry.>>64658477Nah, I think its now small units of mechanized infantry, deciding that a drone/artillery screen of in-depth lethality has sufficiently "attrited" a sliver of area that they can take 100 meters here, there throughout the season, which scaled up across thousands of IFV's, delivers a tangible territorial gain.
Who the fuck decided to strap Hellfires to a fucking Cessna?
Is it possible to easily add hardpoints to a light aircraft that is not designed to carry weapons without having to redesign the wings?

I just wanted to thank Komrade Shaggy again for his patience. I Had to Uber to the shopping Center yesterday in a wind storm to grab the one tool I needed to finally fix my shit Buick. I finished your shopping and should have it rushed, tracked and shipped by the end of the day.I don't know if it was the 4 day stress beard, axel grease, shopping cart in the rain, or my fine fashion sense, but I got offered change like 3 times. Nice to know everyone has so much Christmas spirit!

>>64658043I assume the Walmart LP detained them, then waited for the cop to arrive. When the cop arrived, he pulled the gun.
This is a literal combat ship.
>>64655787So you're saying the LCS is a floating Bradley.
>>64647993Functioning radar and air defense against large drones.And staying out of the range of small drones.
>>64633416>Missiles launch infront of the main gunUuh
>>64632340Based. Scrap the fucking supercarriers and build arsenal ships instead. No need for all those airplanes which in the end shoot missiles anyways. Might as well scrap the middleman
>>64632340But it had superior American damage control!
Besides WWII, what was the most epic and crazy war of all time?
>>64655888Interestingly enough, most of the original trilogy's space battles were based on WWII air combat. In fact, WWII air combat footage was used as placeholders in early ANH cuts before the model footage was complete.
>>64655888Most ww2 photos are edited and collaged from stock photos etc. You can tell how this one was made if you look closely
>>64647687>mars made staff sgtnice

>>64657530I just use the one that came with it. I used it so much it developed a hole and had to replace it. The one time I need it and drew on a homeless man who got suddenly aggressive it stayed in my pocket. The homeless guy went back to the ground. A few blocks later I got detained by the cops then they have me my shit back unloaded and told me not to reload it in public.

>>64657174There absolutely will be a price uptick if the Republicans perform badly in the midterms, but unless a Democrat gets into the White House in 2028 I don't see true panic buying like we saw in 2020 because that was a crazy combo of rona, riots and a Democrat in office who wouldn't shut the fuck up about gun control even though he was politically impotent about the issue.
