Why isn't Russia putting explosives in their "advanced" super sonic missiles? This is the second time the "oreshnik" missiles have been used and they were empty again. I read they're very expensive, limited. People theorizing they were out of them already.
>>64738807Imagine if they Oreshnik Belgorod
>>64737591>Name one reason this wouldn't workThe photons won't go faster. They will just have very slightly (pretty much undetectable outside a lab) shorter wavelength.
>>64738821considering the impressiev accuracy of the oreshnik, I think that's well within the realm of possibility
>>64738675im actually curious whether this has strategic benefit. does it force them to move assets around in a way that is beneficial to ukraine?the russian national ethos does not seem to care whether any city other than the big 2 get bombed to smithereens but if saint petersburg or moscow gets even a whiff of a drone then they fly into a psychotic rage over it and try to find a way to chimp out in a fresh new way
>>64738792Glazing Russian weapons in 2026 is so embarrassing. Why are they like this?
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.
>>64738692>With basically no chance that the enemy will be able to return fire so it's way cheaper than a mech that will just end up getting blown up.Assuming the TAG carrier doesn't get blown up >Not a mechwarrior, TAG infantry are a thing, a single infantryman in the woods can provide TAG services and go unspotted the whole time.Only sorta. While mech fire control is garbage mechs do carry pretty good search and detection sensors. It also doesn't help that TAG systems are listed as a full ton. TAG infantry aren't going to be as stealthy as just a man with a rifle.
>>64738692>With basically no chance that the enemy will be able to return fireIncorrect. Also, irrelevant.>TAG services and go unspotted the whole timeLiterally not possible against any combat vee or Mech. Everything has warning receivers against TAG.
>tfw the Battletech universe would probably get conquered by modern Earth
>>64738692> TAG infantry are a thing[Clear and Present Danger intensifies]
>>64722373You don't. The Battletech universe only exists because BVR weapons are lostech and nobody remembers how to make missiles that can track vehicles by themselves anymore.
>what are you playing right now?>what are your favourite /k/ certified video games? I'll start, I've been recently playhing Read Or Not and as someone who played SWAT 4 back when it came out, I've enjoyed it so far
>>64733831Gonna be that guy and bring up New Vegas again.While not accurate to the point of autistic hyperfixation, what they did get "right" shows that members of the dev team clearly gave a shit about portraying firearms somewhat authentically.Given the game's absurdly short development schedule and the absolute mess of an engine and assets the team was given to work with, it's a wonder they were able to implement that variety of weapons and associated mechanics.I think that effort and the actual results are extremely commendable, especially compared to most other shooters and RPGs with similar settings and primary methods of interaction and combat.
>>64738554That was one of my favorite aspects of NV and it bums me out that badically no other game does it. Even fallout 4 with it's high level of customization and tinkering ditched it
>>64738554Based. It’s crazy more games don’t do this. Devs are famous for finding ways to stretch a basic game into a full game using little cheats. Ammo types seems so obvious. Fallout 4, despite having a huge gun mod function still ends up feeling stale within a few hours when you realize pipe weapons are pointless. They easily could have added some ammo variants to add another layer of customization. Those little things add up to so much more replay value. NV had like 13 ammo types just for shotguns. Even though at the end of the day it didn’t change THAT much, it was interesting to craft them all and test them out.
>>64738674As cliche as it is to say that mods fix it, mods fix it.Now excuse me while I spend the next thirty six hours fixing my list so I don’t have thirty different mutually incompatible 7.62 versions.
>>64738744I haven’t modded 4 very much. I think I just have a minor fix mod for settlement building and a mod that makes the dialogue options show what you’re going to say, because I was not dealing with that crap.
Are living suicide bombs a viable strategy in an open war? I thought that suicide bombing was only good for terrorism at checkpoints/markets but not for a frontal assault to a fortified enemy position.Banzai charges barely worked...
>>64738592poor bastard, going to russia for a better life...
>>64738295He didn't sign up for this shitbut he trusted a Russianit'd be like a white man knowing what groups of Africans are trustworthy, you have to do some study to determine this. >>64738303Egyptians had no issue with Abyssinia, they shit on Nubians because they were local rivals. Romans had a higher opinion of Aksumites than they did of germanic or celtic people. Herodotus practically sucks their dick in the histories.
>>64738630they've put russians in these one mine rigs too, it's like a starcraft upgrade they've researched for scout infantry. so when they die they plant a mine on the spot where they die. Imagine how OP Terran would be if when your marines died they deployed a spider mine.
>>64738231dying to a drone is humiliating and a major loss of izzat if you cry like a bitch and beg for the drone to not kill you which is common to indians in this war. if you die to a train you die bravely like a man so there is no loss of izzat.
>>64738816
can iranian forces win? while they have the numbers they seem outgunned by irgc/basij so far. ive seen shotguns,pistols.. any automatic weapons are rare and the enemy has tanks and artillery they have not yet deployed.i think if they just take over key cities,roads and choke the enemy of supplies they have a shot

It turns out ex-Luftwaffe German pilots have been in China training Chinese pilots. How are they supposed to teach the Chinese how to fly flankers when the Germans never had flankers?
>>64738084You might wanna fact check that
>>64733619Germs sold them the tech to do it>bbbut why would they sell chinks the tech to make the stuff that chinks sell to them??>surely they wouldn't shoot themselves in the foot like that!!that's exactly what they fucking well did>>64724326yep>>64738412the Americans also used China for offshore manufacturing but didn't sell them as much tech

>>64738446From the source of this image:>Following the Civil War, the United States’ economy truly began burgeoning into the colossal superpower it is today. Between 1865 and 1898, coal production increased by 800 percent and railway track miles by 557 percent. By the mid 1880s, America had exceeded Britain as the world’s top producer of steel and manufactured goods. By 1890, the United States had achieved the world’s most productive economy by far, yet it continued to adhere to principles of liberal nationalism (and avoiding foreign affairs). The United States Office of the Historian refers to 1898 as “The Birth of a Superpower.” This is when the U.S. provided support for the independence of Cuba, enmeshing itself in a struggle with Spain. By the culmination of this conflict, America was suddenly responsible for several colonies, heralding a new era of power and economic influence.https://www.madisontrust.com/information-center/visualizations/the-10-biggest-economies-in-the-world-over-time-1960-2024/
>>64733525>NATO strategic best interestHow are streamlined logistics and commonality of parts and training not in the best interest of NATO?It's not in the best interest of perhaps France or Sweden trying to make their own planes and build up their own industries, but if you mean NATO as a whole, it technically is. Perhaps their motivations were different, but saying they did it against the interests of NATO is wrong.>>64734726>Because your president doesn't want to hurt his friend Putin's feelingsHe fucking told you guys to up your military years ago before that whole fucking fiasco started.He fucking told you all to stop being so reliant on their oil.Your leaders didn't listen.Perhaps I'm out of the loop because I just don't follow the political circus performances too closely, but I don't know why people are regurgitating fucking 2016 era>DA ROOSKIES RIGGED THE ELECTION FOR HIMhysteria after that dumb bitch Cunton lost. There's definitely a (((group))) meddling in American elections and politics, but it isn't Russia.
how did commissars work exactly? they were one man tardwrangling an entire regiment, shooting dissidents and wannabe deserters, and expected absolute loyalty without any sort of retaliation? it doesn't add up, why not simply kill him?
>>64735064The commissars were Jews that didn't care about killing the Russian people. They were the inner party of the USSR.
>>64735034>Commie SAARsOk sorry, I'll see myself out...
>>64735034It was like in 40k where they'd go around shooting their own guys and it'd help keep that unit in the fight.
>>64735379im going to beat you to death nigger
>>64735034They weren't the ones doing the execution most of the time; that was the job of the blocking unit under their command, who will kill your ass if you lay your hands on him.

>>64738482I actually like it. People forget that brutalism isn't just about blocky shapes and bare concrete, it's supposed to be a way of letting interesting architecture shine on its own without the distractions of color and decoration, and Boston City Hall is actually cool in its design, unlike dismal commieblocks.
>>64738575So is Iran apparently
>>64738662I'd like it too, if I was stuck with it. But I'm not so I don't lmao
>>64735563Brutalism looks gorgeous when it's designed by someone who isn't a sadistic, homosexual communist who is deliberately trying to immiserate the populations that have to use their buildings.
>PDWWhose retarded idea was this? Why not just give everyone M4's?And if that's not small enough, cut the barrel down to 10''
>>64738125The difference is that 5.56mm NATO cavitates in ways which made it an even better killer than 7.62mm NATO (at the expense of barrier penetration and longer range performance, mind), while 5.7mm is lucky if it doesn't icepick.

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.
>do everything pistolIt's .44 Magnum. It's always been .44 Magnum. It always will be .44 Magnum.
>>64738695No reason for 44 Magnum to exist anymore when 45 Colt exceeds its performance in guns of the same size and era, and offers a better selection of bullets. Let it die.
