it's 1944, it becomes clear to the Japanese high command that they're going to lose the war, in an attempt to prolong the war or even win (lol lmao even), they pull all their forces out of China in order to defend the mainland, would this actually prolong the war and how much of the japanese forces could make it across the sea of Japan back to the Islands without getting bombed by the U.S. Navy and AirForce?

I've made a grave and unrecoverable mistake, I called the pre 1947 Aerial warfare branch of the military the AirForce instead of the Army AirForce, forgive me brothers, for I have sinned.

balloon bombs will be next drone craze. screen cap me.

balloons will be used to ferry glide drones most of the way to target, including large number of decoy balloons, then the balloons will release glide bombs switch will be guided to their targets via a single pulse of hi-energy radio on a particular wave length, triangulated, then the glider extrapolates dead reckoning from pre-programmed map, then maybe finish off with AI "FPV" camera/landmarks, etc.

Defense will be problematic because balloons will be fairly high, like 30,000ft +, so only a real jet or SAM or major league AAA (that now only exists in museums) could touch them, and you still got LOTS of decoys that would need to be addressed.

In addition, decoy balloons would release cheap decoy glide bombs, and the real bombs would be programmed to take round about path to target, so you'd be faced with all these "crazy like a fox" glide bombs that would all have to be considered legit threats.

Figure the bombs will have about 100 miles glide range after release.

These will be much cheaper, and even more long range, than even the Iranian lawn-mower engine prop jobs.

The fact they might take a week to arrive, and could be 24hrs of more of "possible detach point/time" over possible targets, and about an hour of final flight time per release, will be as much a feature as a weakness.

Clearly the meta will evolve to interceptor balloons to deal with this new threat.
>>
>>65202809
interceptor balloons would be launched in path of incoming balloon bomb swarm. They climb above then eyeball the swarm and release H2 enough to start dropping good, and try to pick out the top bomb balloons and slice them, then target next lower BBs and so on.

Interceptors would be reusable.

Snider Anon here. P&S Militaria has a decent selection at reasonable prices, as does Ellwood Epps (i still hate Wes Winkel). Switzer's Auctions is a good place for rare/unusual antique firearms, often at a bargain if you shop right, so mark their dates in your calendar and check their catalogue when it releases. You could easily get a working Snider for under 300$ at auction.
Otherwise, try looking through the Used Firearm sections of small gunstore websites, you'll often find neat stuff like Martinis or Vetterlis hidden away.

the U.S. Army 1942-45 desperate scramble for tank destroyers (partly also handicapped by the U.S. Army's own TD doctrine) is parallel to the German army's use of captured chassis for artillery and anti-tank pieces; they did what they could with what they had available

Simply deploying AT guns using tow vehicles would leave them vulnerable to various attacks, and even withdrawing or evacuating would have taken a considerable amount of time.

In addition to the reasons already mentioned, there was a large concern that with fully enclosed roofs the soldiers would lose awareness of the battlefield and infantry could sneak up on them. And it wasn't just TDs. Halftracks, scout cars, and other types didn't have roofs. It went away quickly after WWII because artillery was the bigger threat than being flanked by infantry. The roof on the M36 Jackson was to defend against artillery. Also, the Czecks made a variant of the German halftrack with a solid roof.

Good old OT-810. For obvious reasons, it's quite popular with reenactors, and its hard to find images of original OT-810s that aren't larping as Sdkfz. 251s. Judging by the few images I can find, the roof was hinged, as seen here, so you could open it up for your guys. Probably pretty cramped with it closed.

Also, funny that, judging only by this image, they re-introduced the more complicated clamshell doors, rather than the flat, acutely-angled design the Germans switched to partway through the war for simplicity's sake. Don't usually see regressions like that.

>I agree, but to play devil's advocate, there is not way for them (ATF) to confirm.
Of course there CAN be. Sure, in some cases it may just get shredded, but police/AGs are not required to shred them by law, and remember anon a lot of people may live in places where there are sticklers for rules or paper filing, or where they're more grabber and like to keep stuff just in case they can use it. You rarely know for certain. And even if it gets shredded doesn't mean there was no record made of it being delivered right? It'd be easy to have an excel sheet of "received copy of form 1 for John Doe on July 1" over and over. Or run it through a scanner before the shredder.

Finally, don't forget that things change from time to time at the top too. Imagine some hyper proggie manages to get elected a decade down the line, and they direct their new people at the ATF to once again crack down on any violations they can no matter how small. Some states might fight being asked to turn over records but they'd probably lose, and other states would be happy to just comply. At that point comparing two databases is trivial.

I mean, I'm no stickler for all the rules all the time at all, but somethings have such a low cost (1 postage stamp) vs even a tiny risk that dunno, doesn't feel worthwhile to fuck with. Maybe if I was 50 years older and could reasonably go "who fucking cares what happens in a decade" lol.

Let's not get bogged down by tech, and just assume a roughly late medieval tier metallurgy.
How do you think would different fantasy physiologies affect the weapons they use (or others use against them)? Most settings seem to just give other races mostly normal human weaponry and armour while giving them some more unified visual theme, without really considering the efficacy of the equpment in their hands.
Take dwarves for example. Short stature, bulky builds, high strength and endurance. Would poor reach and short arms make swung weapons ineffective? Would they need to rely exclusively on polearms if they were put against normal sized humans?
What about giant races, say 3 metre tall humanoids, what would be the most effective way for them to fight against normal sized people?

Call of the Zone for me, a spinoff by the late DoctorX with his mods baked in. Made sense for me, since I'd download them all anyway when playing CoC.

I know lots of stalkers enjoy the hardcore survivalism, but for me, I prefer Stalker as an atmospheric openworld shooter, so I only care about mods that give me excuses to get into shootouts, and mods that expand the arsenal so I can play with whatever toy I feel like on a particular day or playthrough.

Totally understandable. Friend's got a UTV and wants to do some "stealth mods" to it as well (second muffler, blackout switch for lights etc.), I'm helping him with camo stuff but so far I only got to making a snow camo cover for it.*

You can always start with the smallest things once time permits like putting old socks over mirrors and indicators and tying a sandbag over the license plate and tail light...

*BTW non-woven gardening fabric (that kind used for protecting plants from frost) works surprisingly well for snow camo - weighs and costs almost nothing and packs small...

Were you here in 2017? Because I recall /k/ mocked the shit out of COD:WWII for being the first one where you could cut the STG-44's stock, except it would be cut PAST the receiver so the gun wouldn't realistically function.

That was Vanguard where you played in campaign against a Nazi Ryan Reynolds, it was a total clusterfuck where I can't begin to explain the attachments other than having to throw spaghetti at a board in order to give everyone eight options instead of five.
