Well, I kinda have to play my own, I guess. But it honestly sorta sucks. And not only in the "i-it's a W-WIP!" type of way. It's just not really fun.Technically I suppose it's not even a game per se, but maybe a light sim or an app even? Also not wholly /k/ either (except for context perhaps) but more like /g/ x /diy/. Though it's not so much programming as it is math, trigonometry especially, but also with some levels of- you know what, nevermind.

>>64678832people here always loved vegas and vegas 2, i remember questioning it back in like 2013. it was praised for its realism, with its sr25 whose charging handle went back like half an inch, or AKs and FNCs whose bolt was manually pushed forward into battery. never made sense, but I guess there weren't many alternative on consoles and the metagame of unlocking shit was addictive, so people decided the games must be good; because they wouldn't like something shit now would they?

Are modern U.S. shipyards still capable of producing ships on such a scale?
>If one considers that the stated purpose of the Navy today is to build ships and win wars, the Constellation program is a disaster in the making. If, however, one considers that the actual purpose of the Navy is to project an image of credibility, then non-finalized, concurrent, ever-shifting designs that never get done and always seem to be just around the corner, just waiting for the inclusion of some “game changer” bit of technology, is actually rational and reasonable. The constant, obsessive fixation with various illusory “game changers” was never in much evidence in America in the 1930s and ’40s, when it enjoyed true industrial supremacy. Now, it is endemic to every branch of the U.S. military, and it makes complete sense given the institutional and ideological pressures that military leadership faces. For its part, given the impossibility of the military math it is faced with, Navy leadership is increasingly standing under the leafless tree and waiting for Godot. Sacrificing the ability to actually build ships on time is not such a great loss, after all, because no ships that can be built today have the power to upend a basic 200:1 ratio in favor of the enemy. Maintaining a narrative that the next American ship (whenever it appears) will have some sort of radical capability that will transform the basic calculus of war actually carries with it demonstrable benefits and a low amount of drawbacks, compared to all the other alternatives. Especially if the careers and self-image of people in Navy leadership are to be considered, it represents the safest and most reliable choice.yea
>>64682216>Sacrificing the ability to actually build ships on time is not such a great loss, after all, because no ships that can be built today have the power to upend a basic 200:1 ratio in favor of the enemy.But that's a lie though. A well-captained nuclear sub can absolutely destroy 200 lesser ships. Like say, the Chinese fishing fleet.
>>64682237they are talking about 052D and the likes.If you want to do fishing ship then it's gonna be 1 vs 20,000 drone ship. You will still get BFTO'd.It is what it is.cont>The amount of fraud and deception that goes into maintaining this ideological, implicit institutional purpose of the American military is difficult to overstate. Nor is it even a real secret: as far back as 2015, the Army War College published a report on this very issue, in which the authors laid out their findings of widespread juking of stats and lying about requirements, personnel levels, and so on.7 This widespread epidemic of lying—already serious enough back in 2015—was not due to individual moral failings, nor “bugs in the system”; more ominously, most of the lying actually formed a sort of institutional grease that was increasingly becoming required just to keep the wheels turning. The more recent New York Times article on military suicides gives a particularly macabre example of how this works in practice: here, a unit commander compels a soldier with acute suicidal ideation to deploy overseas just so he can include that soldier in the readiness statistics. Once he arrives, he is then immediately sent back stateside again, as he cannot actually legally participate in the exercise or even be trusted in the presence of any loaded firearms.
>Most coverage of that event focused on the political issues surrounding the pier, and the general geopolitical context of the Gaza crisis that the U.S. military was recklessly being thrust into. What fewer people picked up on, however, was that the mission was doomed to fail from the start, purely due to technical reasons: the Joint Logistics Over-the-Shore (jlots) system being put in place was simply not rated to handle the regular sea states in the area. The almost immediate scuttling of the Gaza pier due to damage from rough seas was not a freak accident, or attributable to some sequence of bad luck: it was a completely foreseeable and indeed inevitable outcome. The relevant point that needs to be made regarding the Gaza pier has nothing to do with the Gaza crisis itself; rather, it is that the military was made to expend real logistical assets (assets which are in increasingly short supply) on a mission that could not work even on paper. No one with relevant experience inside the military would have been ignorant of something so basic as looking up a sea state chart; yet at no point was the practical impossibility of the mission allowed to prevent it from going forward. To put it bluntly, the military was given a deeply ideological mission, one that would assuredly result both in failure and damage to or destruction of limited logistical assets. Military leadership, knowing which side their bread was actually buttered on, complied: the mission duly failed, and the limited equipment was damaged and destroyed.ouch...
>Yet again, from a warfighting perspective, this behavior shouldn’t actually be happening. But it is happening, because within the institutional setting of the military—which is heavily shaped by the expectations set by a deeply ideological civilian and uniformed leadership—this sort of behavior not only makes sense, it is often required. To buttress this point with a non-Army example, a major theme covered in the reporting of the 2010s USS Fitzgerald and USS McCain collisions (which together led to the loss of seventeen sailors and constitute two of the most serious disasters the Navy has ever suffered in peacetime) was that ship captains were expected to sail even if their personnel situation or maintenance backlogs should not have allowed it; captains lied to their admirals who in turn lied to their political superiors. Rather than grapple with how lying had become an institutional requirement inside the Seventh Fleet, the Navy instead chose to blame these accidents on the ship captains themselves, even though the captains had repeatedly issued warnings to their superiors about the risk of serious accidents.anyway, with Trump and Hegseth at the helm, I see light at the end of the tunnel. They are draining the swamp and cutting pork. We will be great again. Trust!

Why there's so much hate on the F-35? Is it jealousy from turdworlders?
>>64679362If the Czech Republic had chosen not to comply, lump-sum fines and daily penalties could have been leveraged against it. If the Czech Republic chose not to pay the fines, it could cut them off from EU programs.
>>64679368if a case was brought against themand as I've explained already it would be very unlikely for one to be brought against them by a citizen. that would have been handled by the ECJ and ruled against the Czech Republic. this due to the a) damages being criminal in natureb)commercial damages being the result not of implementation but remaining non harmonized elements of countries criminal codes in relation to gun controlthe commission could have brought a case against them, but the commission needs them to go after Hungary. As such the Czech republic could have managed to get an opt out into the directive via an amendment or just de facto
>>64679384Right, and the case could be brought against them if they didn't comply with the directive. The country obviously felt that it was very likely hence why they changed their laws despite it being unpopular.
>>64678152Group projects make everything worse, the plane would have been finished faster and cheaper if we hadn't let the yuropoors have any workshare.
>>64679113Portugal. Semi-automatic rifles which shared a design with full auto military rifles were in the prohibited category. If you wanted a "black rifle" you had to drop 2,300€ on a Benelli MR1 or something. There was even an attempt to ban the H&K SL8 for being too close to the G36 but nothing came of it.The EU's directive basically opened the sports shooter category to semi-auto "military style" rifles because that's what everyone else uses in competition.>>64679232Who the fuck is talking about getting shot?>EU: "hey lol some durka durkas shot up a place with real guns shoddily converted to blank fire guns converted back to live fire, so we're gonna restrict true blank fire guns even more even though they are nearly impossible to convert and also 30 round magazines are kind of excessive lol kthxbai">countries: "Right boss, we gatekept HIGH CAPACITY ASSAULT MAGAZINES to sports shooters and nobody is enforcing this shit too tightly anyway but on paper we did introduce restrictions at your request">you, a ragging faggot: "yeah lol countries won't implement gun control because you have no chance of suing them for late implementation"Even though it doesn't matter that much, the threat of non-compliance does pressure countries to comply.If you're a lawfag, you understand that if I threaten to beat you up to sign a document you complied under duress. You were coerced.

The concept of a high-low mix of aircraft where 5th generation craft gain air supremacy then 4/4.5th gen exploit that exists and has made me think about maintenance and other impacts on cost per flight hour.How would you engineer combat aircraft for absolute minimum cost per flight hour while keeping performance acceptable enough for the task of exploiting air supremacy?Ignore existing craft, so just using B-52s isn't an option for this thought exercise.Would something in the size category of an F-16 be best or something larger? From googling around apparently a B-52 costs roughly 3-4 times an F-16 per flight hour and has far more than that in multiples of its payload.Are there any considerations that would make a 'clean sheet B-52' not the best fulfillment of these parameters?
>>64680641You don't need stealth for the low part of a Hi/Lo-mix. You just need a cheap bomb truck. Maybe read OP to get a sense what the thread you're posting in is about.
You remove the pilot, for one.
>>64680700We're talking about manned aircraft here jackass, pilots are expensive as shit and loosing them is politically expensive as well.
>>64679955>How would you engineer combat aircraft for absolute minimum cost per flight hour while keeping performance acceptable enough for the task of exploiting air supremacy?You start by removing the pilot, which allows you to ditch innumerable life support and safety features as incidental losses are now just the cost of doing business. >Would something in the size category of an F-16 be best or something larger? From googling around apparently a B-52 costs roughly 3-4 times an F-16 per flight hour and has far more than that in multiples of its payload.F-16 is a bit too small. America gets by via having a massive network of bases, but the Chinese are demonstrating why that model has some issues once stealth enters the equation, as stealth drop tanks are hilariously expensive and internal fuel load becomes a lot more important. Relying on tankers runs into the same problem. >Are there any considerations that would make a 'clean sheet B-52' not the best fulfillment of these parameters?Large bombers do almost nothing better than smaller jets these days. You don't need huge volumes of ordnance for most missions.Basically you'd want no stealth, a body design that's easy to manufacture, single engine, jet powered but with a focus on fuel economy for maximizing range. Some kind of fire control sensor package but no gigantic expensive radar for air to air stuff, if you want to use them in that capacity to truck missiles, slave them to a manned aircraft's radar. Oh, and don't bother designing them to accommodate a gun. Saves a bit of engineering in terms of shock hardening and wasted internal space for a useless capacity.
>>64679955I kind of disagree with the concept as a whole, because there are missions beyond CAP and Interceptions where having a stealth capable 'low' aircraft is ideal as it further reduces the risk of those missions. If you were to ask me a fleet of nothing but F-22 and F35 would be the most ideal, but that ships already kind of sailed because of the Obama admin.>Would something in the size category of an F-16 be best or something larger?Something larger like either the F-18E/F or F-15E/EX, with more of a preference to the bug as the Eagle 2 is more expensive despite mogging both the other options. The main issue with the F16 being its anemic combat range and limited hardpoints.

Merry Christmas you beautiful anons!If you haven't received your package, please submit an email to me and we will start tallying the late arrivals, and then sorting between folks who are likely to get theirs in the next few days vs those who the dreaded USPS has lost forever. We will be dispatching the Grinch Relief Corps (GRC) as needed to remedy. Send grinch relief applications to wendigohunter at protonmail dot comthread theme: https://youtu.be/HPdHkHslFIU?si=--taGzS1BwZ1KnRTold thread>>64643227
>>64681661maybe I'll get a camera next year :)
>>64681677did you take these with a laptop webcam?
I’ve never participated and won’t (because I don’t trust myself enough to find cool gifts). But I do check out these threads every year as they add to my Christmas spirit. It’s neat to see the thoughtful gifts and sincere thank yous. So to all of you thank you and a very Merry (belated) Christmas and most excellent new year.
>>64681983Just sign up for a low tier and pack a small flat rate box with as many neat little things as you can fit. It's easy to blow way past $20 of value and the effort means a lot to the person who gets it. Handwritten/drawn cards are also a big part of it. If you aren't good at drawing you can even make something in MSpaint like I did for Florida Man this year. This was done with just copy/pasting, tracing and filler.
This year has been a blast!Big thanks to Ahab and Wendigohunter for getting the site back running aswell as a smooth event.I strongly hope that next year it will be possible again to engage in gift exchanges with US anons (tho our government and the EU tries their best to fuck up all relations currently) and also to go to the 250$ tier. I look forward to this every year and most packages ive received from anons were more personal than stuff ive gotten from my family. Love you silly fucks like u wouldnt believe, have a happy new year and appeal to heaven /k/ !

I have a rather expensive and retarded idea but i want to know if its possible before even bothering, could i take a nighthawk 1911 slide and somehow fit it to a 2011 frame? I imagine the odds of it just drop in fitting are next to none but could it be done reasonably?
Have Russia fixed theirs AK12 or its still sucks? Do Russians soldiers still prefers the oldies AK74Ms?
>>64680347Its okay. Now that they reverted the burst to a regular 74 trigger, the reliability issues have mostly evaporated; and the newer magpul style furniture is much tougher than the original buffer tube shit. 74s are preferred because of the aftermarket and don't have the quality stigma of the ak12, but with the native ability to mount optics and lights, the actual necessity of the aftermarket is way diminished; which could be said to be the whole point of the gun. The mags are excellent, seriously sought after even by guys who otherwise hate the gun. There will always be those who refuse to accept it, simply because the 74 didn't have these teething problems (at least nobody is old enough to remember), but on the whole its a decent if unambitious upgrade.>>64680469generally no, but depend on who they are. a lot of times guys capture a gun with a thermal, and they have no means to use it on their own gun; so it makes sense to just keep using the gun it came on while ammo lasts. it also cant be discounted that its a whole generation of gamers, who think M4s and 416s are cool and just appreciate them as a trophy.
>>64680347does the top cover hold zero now or not yet
>>64680469i've seen some m4-like rifle used in russian clips, looked like a sharpshooter or something. also some ukrs have thermal on their M4s, that's an asset too.
>>64682151if you're talking about the leaf suit vids, that was some domestic Russian AR10.
The AK peaked at the 100 series and no one can argue otherwise.
does ANYONE on this board have experience any .32 seecamps made in the last two years?
>>64680305seecamps suck and are for boomers just get a p32
>>64681756Lol p32 aren't ca legal, it's retarded.Seecamps are tho.
>>64681745ok skinny-jean twink>>64680328fpbp>>64680428there is no front site, dumbass>>64681767you should consider legally immigrating to America then and not living in a commie shithole>>64680305no OP I haven't, and even if I had I also wouldn't tell you
>>64680305I don't know what serial numbers correlate to what year but I have a 380 made in their current plant and it's reliable. I don't shoot it much as flat nose/jhp 380 can be expensive (32 more so) and it's also probably my least comfortable gun to shoot. I would strongly recommend you get a p238, as it isn't much bigger and my p938 is less painful to shoot than my seecamp.
sigh>>64681840Why not? There's nothing wrong with helping people out. Even if you're jaded. >>64682115The problem is that they both look so much worse compared to seecamp.
