>>64699591chinese culture and leadership quality.daily reminder that after this embarrassing fuckup, the navy ship's first priority was not to aid it's possibly sinking comrade, but to attempt another pointless ram on a much more nimble ship that had been giving them the slip the the whole day.
>>64687667Even more implessive that this is not a fluke year, but just their general building pace right now.2 more carriers1 more helicopter dock5 Type 055 Destroyers10 Type 052D Destroyers6 Type 054B FrigatesAll in the next 4 years.A lot of food for the trump class battleships to railgun.
>>64699983Personally I'd like to see the Trump class turned into a fast Battleship meets Arleigh Burke. Imagine the Alaska concept but modernized for long range seal clubbing of cheap hulls.
realistically, what can the US about this?
>>64700271Start having heavy industry againSomeone explain to me how we ended up with half a century of pic related
is there a way to make it work?
>>64697356You're trying extremely hard to put words in my mouth and then argue against them. Are these strawmen in the room with you right now? The tabletop rules are what's canon, because they're not subject to powerwankery (primarily from space marine authors) with varying levels of individual autist-narcissism, because the armies HAVE to be mechanically balanced against all the other factions. There is a natural regulator in the rules development that prevents one autist on the dev team from declaring his faction as the coolest and is better than everything else. 3rd edition rules are the peak and best, but whatever the rules are currently, that's the actual power level everything is, relative to each other. Space Marines aren't walking tanks. Dreadnoughts are. Terminators have the armor that everyone *thinks* standard marines have, and even then they're still not walking tanks. And all the insane bullshit that people apply to marines, like Jedi levels of perception and whatever, only Primarchs could possibly possess that amount of ability. And even then, nah. The fuckin God Emperor couldn't do half the bullshit that are attributed to standard marines in some of the books.

>>64690590>>64692047Guardsmen have krak grenades, vehicles with heavy bolters and multi lasers in mechanized units, and may or may not have mortars, heavy weapons teams with heavy stubbers (M2 machine guns, apparently) and rocket launchersThe tabletop rules are there to make shit simple but in the lore they have at least WW2 levels of integral combined arms. The main exception is that you don't see a SAW equivalent in guardsman squads, but 10 guardsmen with lasguns probably mog the firepower of a modern day rifle squad quite substantially.
>>64698058>Guardsmen have krak grenades, vehicles with heavy bolters and multi lasers in mechanized units, and may or may not have mortars, heavy weapons teams with heavy stubbers (M2 machine guns, apparently) and rocket launchersThese were the arguments made:>Lasblasts punch right through Space Marines>There is no way a space marine could threaten five to ten guardsmen with lasriflesSo again we're just moving the goalposts lmao.
>>64700180I am not any of the anons in the reply chain above >>64698058 (me) since it was my first post.To reiterate, in the lore>regular infantry lasguns don't pierce ceramite plate>they will go through gaps>enough lasgun fire might chip away at it and eventually go through>any squad or larger formation of guardsmen will have something that WILL pen astartes armor - krak grenades, rocket launchers, multi-lasers, melta guns, etc>space marines rely on speed, aggression, superior cohesion and fighting in confined quarters>large formations of guard will still eventually take out space marinesin tabletop>no one can be arsed to keep track of every possible combination of support weapons a squad might have>nobody wants to model a guardsman running to the back lines to grab a bigger gun while they're just sitting around in their trench>no one cares to check for hitting gapsComment too long.

What's the culture like between branches of the US military? I'm considering both the Air Force or Army, but open to anything if persuaded enough.
Army and Marines treat you like shit. Go Air Force or Space Force.
What is /k/ favorite type of glock?
>>64697852I should have prefaced the 10 years before the slide spring became an issue but if yours feels good enough then sure thing, pardner
I love mine, 11lbs spring came today to stop the malfunctions from the big compensator. But the OG trigger sucks for target shooting, match trigger was a day 1 upgrade
>>64698845Spring weight pretty much comes down to what loads you're using. If you're shooting 115gr bunny farts you're going to have a different opinion to the 124gr NATO spec all day guy.
>>64699898>124gr NATO specFuck, I miss the days of Winchester M882 for $12.99 a box of 50
Is the Gen 5 with a chopped beavertail considered a cope now that the Gen 6 has it standard?
>AR15>12 Gauge Pump Action Shotgun>Concealable 9mm PistolGive me (1) good reason you need more than these three guns. These three cover 99% of scenarios you would ever need a gun for.
>>64690013The meme arrow means he’s calling the person he quoted a faggot.
>>64684214I don't need more than that, but I want more than that and can afford it, so I have more than that
>>64684236Well if you ever want to include fuzzy-wuzzy bunnies and big-ol elderphants in your diet you're going to need to get yourself a .22 rifle and a .50 caliber machine gun. You'll also need a Daisy Red Ryder BB gun if you want to eat sparrows and wood peckers. Was that 2 or 3?
>>64684214My minimalism sucks.>24" hunting pump shotgun>18" defense pump shotgun>.22 bolt-action rifle>.22 semi-auto pistol>9 mil full size pistol >9 mil conceal carry pistol>.223 14.5" AR-15 >.308 bolt-action rifleI'm not even close to have it all (euro, so everything is fucking expensive), and I'm already starting to build several useless other 9mils...

>>64693766New minesweeper looks amazing
>>64693854The mines did their job perfectly. The movement is stopped while the soldiers clear the mines out. The fact that they're not getting blown up while they try to do that is the real party foul and that's beyond the ken of our humble mine.

>>64676323https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXxdtq1BmHk "Ursa Major: Russian Tanker Sunk Near Spain Carrying Nuclear Reactors for Submarines to North Korea"The norks are going to have to power that with diesel.
How funny would it be if NORK subs were actually better than west taiwan subs?
>>64699098>The norks are going to have to power that with dieselThat was a year ago, there's probably been a replacement shipment by rail since then.I don't know why they'd send it by boat in the first place unless it was just in St Petersburg and it was the wrong season for the arctic route.
>>64700055>How funny would it be if NORK subs were actually better than west taiwan subs?The answer, Norktard, would be that it would be hilarious.Of course the reason it would be hilarious is that it is so improbable.There's every reason to believe that Chinese subs are quite decent. They've had some incidents but that's a normal part of submarine ownership.
>Today in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, a tank experienced a malfunction while driving on the road.
>>64690392eesh imagine getting assigned to man your own rice cooker
imagine being the poor sod confined into these metal coffins. literally what's the point of existing for these crews outside of giving a Chinese heli/jet a notch for their killscore?

they have abrahams too but tonk is tonk

>retconned as amazing commander >actually complete shit >failed to do even the bare minimum to protect the landing zones in France >planted like 4 mines >crews were so poorly trained they did not fire on ships at all with large gun batteries
>all the contrarian retards ITT
>>64695046>>actually complete shitBtfo the British with a motley crew of misfits and, god forbid me for saying this, spaghetti eating italians. British had to mass troops in north Africa and achieve overwhelming advantage in men, tenks and materiel to push him back. Gained the respect of his enemies.>>failed to do even the bare minimum to protect the landing zones in FranceMassively improved the defences and correctly identified Normandy as the most likely place the landings will take place. Wasn't listened to when he demanded more units commited to the beachead both before the invasion and after. Wasn't even given full command in France.>>planted like 4 minesPlanted millions of mines>>crews were so poorly trained they did not fire on ships at all with large gun batteriesDo you think that's the role of a field marshall?
>>64698983>>64699016He pulled the classic "she told me she was 18" defence.
>>64698482Based Balck Respecter
>>64699006And yet none of that changes that the simple fact that the invasion knocked Italy out of the war and turned it from a provider of resources and troops to the Axis into a sink of resources and troops, even before one takes into account the actual fighting on the italian front. This "failure" cost the Germans far more than the Allies, and it was the Allies that would've come out ahead even if it had merely cost both sides equally.

Is there a kind of camo like this but against laser range finders and target lock systen?
>>64700018>Can't determine ship's speed without the range to itFor calculations, sure. But you can estimate its heading and approximate speed by looking at its direction of travel, bow wave, and wake.
>>64700075>For calculations, sureThats the point. Don't pretend to be retarded.
>>64700101>Thats the pointYes, I said that in >>64699912But that's not the only point or benefit, as the false bow wave thing makes clear.
>>64700038One is a mental disturbance, the other is using actual, physical limitations.Dazzle camo plus optical rangefinders and the human eye just confounded the spotters abilitiy to image match a straight line. A psychological defense would have said spotter questioning their sexuality and the nature of their relationsip with their mother and sister.
>>64699901may be, but the light travels between the target and the detector at the same speed so as long as some light is reflected back, the range value is the same. Regardless of what you cover a tank with, the laser return is at best attenuated in power, not delayed in the time of return in any way that would disrupt the range calculation.The medium the laser travels through between the emitter and the target has more impact on the quality of lasing than the surface of the target. We already have soft-kill APS to interrupt laser ranging by putting smoke between the target and the laser source.
How would Monsters of legends Like minotaurs, Cyclops, Dragons and the like have fared against the arquebus
>>64698544How would an ant fare against a direct hit from a nuclear shape charge?
>>64698544Meaningless without some kind of scale.A cyclops of eight feet who can't jump his own height or lift a car above his head would die like a normal man. A Cyclops of fifty feet would need to have a body like iron just to survive the pressure of his tall form on his knees and feet. An eight foot cyclops that can pick up a big rig and leap with it over a building needs magical super tissues to match.Dragons also, a dragon's wing that can beat a whale sized body into the air from a standstill would be the toughest material on the planet.
>>64698544Other than being a rather large profile target wouldn’t they make good dragoons?
>>64700200Some Cyclops are demigods, what with being the offspring of Poseidon and all. At least the original generation. I suppose after a thousand years there would be some with mucb less divine blood, but they'd still have some so magical muscles isn't that far fetched. Three are confirmed brethren of the titans so a 50 ft tall being with super powers isn't impossible, especially considering the shenanigans the Olympians got up to.
