Is this a good, budget friendly armor back in medieval time?
>>65323830Having your rear constantly exposed is just how the Lombards rolled. They wanted everyone to have a good look at their caked up Lombooty.
>>65323149>That much decoration>elbows exposed>chainmail doesn't even cover his fucking elbows>No visible Cuisse, presumably no Poleyn or Greaves either>NO FUCKING HELMET>giant fucking split in the chainmail directly over the crotch and femoral arteries>Shit tier gauntletsThat is pure slop OP.
>>65326316gambesons being worn over chainmail or other armor were a thing, yeah.gambesons/padded/quilted armor were of varying thickness and fit, so thicker gambesons over, say, a chain shirt that's closer to the body, is quite reasonable.
>>65327220chainmail was worn over the gambeson>t. reenactor
>>65327228>>653263161stly, a padded aketon a.k.a. arming-doublet, then 2ndly a mail shirt and coif, 3rdly individual plates attached to the shirt, a.k.a. a coat of plates, over which4thly was a cuir bouilli leather hauberk a.k.a. cuirass,over which5thly a silk surcoateventually the coat of plates and leather hauberk was replaced by the full plate steel hauberk which we all know and loveat this point, aketon-mail-plate, the surcoat was reinforced and became an over-armour gambeson made of layers of leather and silk, which not only was decorative but provided additional armour (and could be bloody expensive)gby the late medieval era, whenever the plate cuirass was omitted and substituted for say brigandine, an additional gambeson of leather and steel was usually added, either under or both over and under

Ultimately why was Vietnam able to defeat the French, Americans, Chinese, and Cambodians within a span of decades? What gave them their relative military prowess?
>>65299409>not because the vietnamese were marching on washington and paris.Thats not what I read
>>65321780>that was crazyThe Turks gave up fucking Jerusalem a few years later, so no, it wasn't
>>65295243the Chinese despite being equipped like a mid-tier WW2 Army and completelly unprepared for the war pushed the experienced Vietnamnese who were showered with the best equipment of China and the USSR back and capture multiple cities in a few weeks. The Chinese then only left because as already laid down, they were completelly unprepared and Cambodia was a lost cause. In the end, they left the cities and towns they captured in ruins and retreated with consequences.Vietnam may have technically won because Cambodia fell anyway, but the Vietnamnese nonetheless got their arse kicked by a WW2 peasant army who didn't even want to be there.
>>65292137>Bleed and died in the tunnels like rats so they are freed from western oppression>Ended up being one of the sweatshop and sex tourism central for westernerWhat was even the point? Vietnam war is probably the most pointless war aside from WW1.
Show me what you got. I like making monkey fists. The longer ones are basically a way to fit a baseball bat in your pocket.
>>65324515Do they even work or are they just meme weapons like nunchucks and ninja stars?
>>65324515muh tungsten core keychain
>>65327018The issue is bounceback, you basically have to drag it on contact.
>>65327196nice work, where'd you source the tungsten?
>>65327212I mined it myself.Or maybe it was ebay. Not so sure, it has been a while.
Arresting gear can be used to recover space rockets on top of carrier aircraft
>>65326990Falcon 9 has more launch failures than Atlas V but a lower failure rate due to having launched 6x as often.
>>65326544>those lower lines seem to have been improvised by deck crewswhich is why they're on the same mechanism as the upper cablesbecause it was improvisedmakes sense>>65326769>If they'd planned it, the rocket would have had eyelets and they'd only need to run two linesThe problem is that it's a 20 story tall, 30+ ton mass swinging in an uncontrolled manner. They can't just clip some bungee cords to it, they need something that can grab onto it while it's moving
>>65326741This is obviously more comparable to Falcon 9 than Starship
>>65327075>which is why they're on the same mechanism as the upper cables>because it was improvisedWhat else could they anchor it to? There's nothing else there to even think about trying it with, planned or unplanned.Look at how many lines they ran, and look at how they interacted with the rocket, and tell me with a straight face that they planned it that way.
>>65327147>Look at how many lines they ran, and look at how they interacted with the rocket, and tell me with a straight face that they planned it that way.It's literally exactly the same as the mechanism which caught it in the first place. How could you possibly think it was unplanned?

>>65325964I thought America was the villain? Why is everyone just making the AR?
>>65326647White Americans is the villain, hope that helps.
>>65325964I thought rear charging handles sucks and forward assist is useless, why do people keep adding them into their m4 copy?
>>65327183This looks so much better.
Official or unofficial, air or ground, post some losers.
>>65327000>vaguely reminiscent of a T-34?>vaguelyit was basically a T-34 clone with some minor modifications. apparently the MAN offer won partly because of concerns of friendly fire.>>65327000>this is pretty sexyafaik it was technically superior to the Messerschmitt Bf 110, but it used the same engines as the single engine Bf 109 so for industrial reasons the other offer was chosenI think if the Fw 187 had been chosen over the Bf 110 as the Luftwaffe standard heavy fighter, the Luftwaffe might have fared better. The Bf 110 was bad at dogfighting, the Fw 187 might've been more competitive.>>65327000>proportions look weirdit's a different version. Single seat vs double seat.
>>65327037>The Bf 110 was bad at dogfighting, the Fw 187 might've been more competitive.the lesson from WW2 was that ceteris paribus, there's virtually no build of a twin-engine fighter that wouldn't be better or cheaper as a single-engine fighterother than combat radius, and even that was solved towards the end
>>65326989>>65326991Has a similar silhouette to the Beaufighter.
>>65327063the Mosquito and P-38 were quite effective.>>65327066yeah but not as fat
>>65327092>Mosquito and P-38 were quite effectiveas long-range fighters, night-fighters, and as slashing zoom-and-boom types, yes, but again>virtually no build of a twin-engine fighter that wouldn't be better or cheaper as a single-engine fighterand indeed the Tempest was the RAF's post-war prop fighter of choice, and the Mustang for the USAAF
How big of an advantage would having a FCS that even with degraded sensors is able to guess the most likely position of an enemy going off stuff like the most advantageous/tactical position, previous vector and estimated ability to turn/model of human psychology/... And launch a few self targeting missile to the most likely location?
>>65327130You mean one like the US has had since the mid 1980's?
Let that sink in for a moment y'all

>>65323178Those "good old-fashioned" ships would have failed even harder to secure the strait. In the age of long range strike, it isn't enough to have ships somewhere in the area to protect shipping. You need to either totally and utterly deny both air and sea across the entire area at all times, or you need capable defensive platforms parked alongside (or directly mounted to) every single hull that transits the strait. There's no hull in existence, old or new, that is both cheap enough to be fielded in sufficient quantity to cover 100+ strait transitions per day (RIP BBs and modern destroyers), and also capable enough to themselves not be vulnerable to getting slapped by AShMs or drones (RIP old patrol boats). Similarly, constant overwatch of the strait requires enough sensors to monitor a few thousand square miles of water and the airspace above it for anything larger than a rowboat in the water or a football in the air, while also watching the surrounding land for literally any vehicle just in case of shoot and scoot attacks by regular artillery - this is also absurdly impractical. Ultimately, for the strait to be safe to transit despite Iran's wishes, the USN would have had to completely eliminate any risk whatsoever to civilian sailors who are sailing along a hostile nation's coastline in a fucking warzone, which is a complete fantasy no matter how you cut it.
>>65323178You're retarded.
>>65326992China's ballistic missile arsenal is larger.
if we develop the technology to colonise other planets in the Solar system, or at least plant orbital space stations, would there be any defence against the corresponding advances in missile technology?for example, say we develop a space engine that allows us to travel to Saturn in a couple of months. would there be any defence at all against the same engine placed in a missile? it feels like such a weapon could not be intercepted or armoured against.
>>65325937A torch drive implies high thrust for a long time which is not possible even with theoretical drives. There's tons of fusion and anti mateer concepts that have insane isp and very low thrust but would get you to the outer solar system quickly. Their more like match drives than torches
>>65325795>spacecraft with a mass of lets say 10,000kg to 100,000kg able to reach velocities of around 2,000 to 5,000 km/s. All you'd need to do would be to point it on a collision course with Earth and the resulting impact would be on the gigaton TNT equivalent level. We're talking asteroid impacts and shit.yeah, that's what I've been thinking aboutisn't it impossible to defend against a missile like that?>>65326022now that I haven't heard ofwhere can I read about that?>>65326048>space macroeconomicsyeah I got that sorted, except one thing: can you think of any material on Earth worth conquering for?best I can come up with is organic minerals
>>65324783>>65324832LASER NET
>>65326069No, your ass implies that.>"Torch Drive" describes a class of reaction engines for spacecraft propulsion characterized by high thrust and high specific impulse, and hence very high power levels.The defining characteristics are high isp high thrust no matter where you look.Even the system I described was literally called a torch drive.
So is a torch drive missile undefeatable?
Poast ur loadouts! Gonna post some templates
>>65326209I’ve hiked to that same overlook, pic related. It’s a cool little town.
>>65326566Harpers ferry?
>>65326573Yup It’s a comfy town, especially in the winter. Shepherdstown too, it’s a few miles away. My family is from the Maryland side so these places are nostalgic to me.

Post them.Witness the variety of Indonesia's fighter airforce.
What gun comes to mind when you think of a DMR?
>>65325385This looks more like a 3D render than an actual photo. Everything is too clean
>>65325286>the SVD isnt a DMR>it's a "weird way to say DMR"
>>65325286>europe doesnt do the constant laying down thing, the sniper role in europe is broader and more dynamic and goes to squad level>Russian doctrine uses it as a replacement for Machine gun>DMR is other standard rifle modded to be accurizedYou're utterly retarded and historically wrong.
>>65316166This as well
>>65325286The nerd impulse to make up bullshit classifications that mean nothing should be studied by sociologists. Nutn is to blame for a lot of it with his SAPR noise, but its gotten really bad in the last few years with that GPR horseshit.
If you were in gundam universe what kinda drones would you use to turn mechas into metal coffins?
>>65322411F91 had beyblade drones. Granted, they were more intended for total civilian death, but they sawed up suits too.
>>65324524The only time you see the virgo shields get penetrated via a weapon was either the buster rifle, which is a hand held nuke. Or that experimental laser rifle and explodes after a few shots.Anything else is just plot armor where your average grunt was fucked going up against Virgos.
>>65322411Universal Century already has answers for that, which you should know.

Yeah, I'm thinking the Empire is back.https://ukdefencejournal.org.uk/uk-to-build-all-eight-anglo-dutch-assault-ships/
>>65318082This is the 2024 concept btw, it seems the fixed self defense suit is moved to the rear notches, the design seems larger and possibly a hangar in the rear bit of the superstructure.
>>65318008The fact that they are being paid to build them?
>>65317757lol I'll believe it when I see it.
>>65317792Small indie country, please understand
