Why dont modern helmets have cheek plates?Also, why were the elite of the roman maniples spears? Were spears simply better?
>>64546662>cheek platesThey do. Just not the cheeks you're thinking of.
>>64546912>Macedonian pikemen didnt break. Hoplites didnt breakboth of them broke all the time you absolute moron
>>64553459Not him, but I reckon his point is more along the idea that its exceedingly rare for a phalanx, especially a pike one, to be broken by a head on charge by infantry that are not also fighting as a similarly equipped phalanx. More often they are defeated by something (uneven terrain, flanking maneuvers, elephants going schizo), such was the case of Cynsocephalae, Pydna, Magnesia. Livy even discusses it in his what if analysis on Alexander invading Italy. Some of Pyrrhus' battles are a good example of the success the formation can find if properly supported.Of course never is too strong a claim, and there's a couple of examples from the Mithridaic Wars that showcase the legions ability to destroy a phalanx from the front, although I do question the quality of the Pontic phalanxes versus the Roman troops.
>>64546671>Of course not, the more Rome conquered the, more successful they became, the less relevant spears were.At no point in their history did Rome stop fielding spear troops, they just started drawing them from the Socii or Foederati. Even Legionary cohorts trained to use their Pila as spears, and later after the third century crisis they'd revert to really compact phalanxes to counter cavalry.
What do we think of the Su-57?
>>64552856>>64552861I mean, they did suddenly get cut off from all of the chips and tech needed to make Su-57 and A-100. Idiots in the Kremlin.
>>64552861>other projects were destroyed though like their AWACS programI wonder what contingency they have for that?Buy Chinese I guess. Must be galling. Probably better cope to adapt the A100 to Chinese components, even if it means a 2040 production date.
>>64553624Fighterbomber says they have been coping by using their more modern flankers and mig-31s as air controllers as they mare much more survivable and their radars are reasonably powerful
>>64555120It hadn't occurred to me that there would be CAP pilots in Russia watching a wave of ukie drones appear on radar and I guess Russia must have a datalink from there to command to the air defence cuckold.

Interesting news on the Su-75. They want to fly the prototype in 2026.https://www.twz.com/air/russia-insists-su-75-checkmate-fighter-will-fly-next-year>We’re “still working on development of this aircraft,” Sergey Chemezov, head of Russia’s state-run defense conglomerate Rostec, told TWZ and other outlets at this year’s Dubai Airshow on Tuesday, according to a translator. “We need some time to get the real prototype for the test flights.”>“Basically, we are almost at the stage of the testing flights, and in the near future, we will be launching it into production,” Chemezov added, again per the translator.>“I think this is the beginning of 2026,” Sergey Bogdan, Sukhoi’s chief test pilot, also said about the expected timeframe for the start of Su-75 flight testing in a separate interview with Russia’s state-run Channel One television station on Tuesday. “The aircraft is already on the shop floor, it is already being finalized, and there are already certain time plans. Therefore, with God’s help, it should take place soon enough.”
>They want to fly the prototype in 2026.They also wanted 2,000 T-14s by 2020
>>64543919If the Su-57 can be picked by any radar in the planet, is it really a 5th gen?
Does PUCCIA even have RAM coating

/k/ likes to say that "nuclear winter" isn't reali, however, disagree; yet not for the reason you may think!from 1400 to 1800, the "little ice age occurred"it is now believed that it was caused in part by a series of mass depopulation events - black death, mongol invasions, native american plagues, etcwith the lack of humans able to cultivate land for their own uses & produce gasses by mere living, reforested land was able to sequester vast amounts of carbon, resulting in a vast lowering of global temperatures if nuclear war were to occur, billions would most likely die, in addition to a collapse of industrythe now unused land which would be reforested, and expungement of populations both humans & animal, would lead to another lowering of global temperaturesto add to this, its been seen that when a sharp drop-off in temperature rapidly occurs, it is further exacerbated thereof, plunging temperatures even lowerin short>big boom >man die>warm gas leaveComment too long.

>>64555565You're acting on the assumption that cities make up the bulk of targets.

>>64555335>they'll starve when their dams collapse & flood their basins, destroying their infrastructure They literally did that in WW2 and yet there was no measurable drop in temperatures in the aftermath.Contrary to popular opinion the three gorges dam is not going to end in a giant floodwave that will flow down to Shanghai.
>>64555565Blowing up the central government buildings in Beijing isn't going to kill more than a few tens of thousands.Tokyo had a population of 7 million before WW2 and only 100,000 died from bombs and firestorms (same for the 1923 earthquake). And that's with easily destroyed wood&paper buildings.
More photos from my trip to Japan back in June, this time it's from The Japanese Sword museum.This museum is run by the NBTHK, which is the main club around for nihonto fans. As such it's very much a museum for the already converted, no interactive displays, no multimedia thingamabobs. You get a bunch of artefacts, some information about them, and no bullshit to steal space from them. It's just what it says on the tin, and nothing more. Accordingly, don't expect a terrible amount of variation in this thread.First out is a relatively recently made tanto they had in a "basic information"-area by the entrance. The signs there were solely in Japanese, but given that "12932-2009" showed up in the text I would hazard a guess (which is then confirmed by comparing signatures) that the maker is Ōsumi Sadao: https://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/32360-osumi-toshihira-%E5%A4%A7%E9%9A%88%E4%BF%8A%E5%B9%B3-living-national-treasure/
>>64551569>although I'm shocked the dealer I used was even willing to help me with thatProbably considered part of the cost of doing business to do so, and it may of course also be that they just want to see as many swords papered as possible.
>>64551463Looks like a WWII casemate.
>>64550728Bump
Good timing with the thread, OP. I watched Harikiri last night, and I was blown away to find out that all of the swords in that movie were period correct, as in they were all made and used in the 1600s or before. The only time they used prop swords in that movie is when they actually make contact with eachother.
>>64551021I'd take that with a grain of salt. There's not much artistry to polishing. Over-polishing doesn't do anything negative in practice with proper technique, it just wastes time (and if you want to be pedantic, remove unneeded but negligible amounts of material. Modern lighting doesn't elevate the "art", it just means you have to polish for longer to consistently look better since the environment is consistently brighter. Polishing is indeed at a peak, but it's more to do with having machines that can polish so smooth even scanning electron microscopes can't catch the imperfections.

Instead of Robert E. Lee, he retires and you now have to figure out a way to achieve a decisive victory against the Union in 1863 as grand army commander of the Confederacy. How do you do it, /k/?
>>64541914>Everyone had riflesthere were multiple regiments using flintlocks up to the battle of shiloh
>>64524627>Instead of Robert E. Lee, he retires and you now have to figure out a way to achieve a decisive victory against the Union in 1863 as grand army commander of the Confederacy. How do you do it, /k/?Its amazingly simple: Unified command of confederate forces. They lost because at no point during the entire war was there one command sturcture to handle all the things an army needs to be handled. Each state did its own thing for the whole war. After that, make the planters plant food. At gunpoint if need be. The war was very winnable for the South. They were just retarded.

>>64528303The idiots couldn't even figure out that they could have improved their political position at the outset by re-using the Declaration with Find/Replace King George -> President Lincoln. Instead, each state's declaration of secession is just "Blah blah muh slavery blah blah we hate dem Yankees". The sheer IQ difference between the Founders and the leading secessionists was massive.>>64524627Send me back to 1860 and give me political clout rather than military. I insist upon the "gentlemen" planters that proper forms must be maintained, and that seceding at the outset is foolish nonsense. Instead, wait for Lincoln to perform an impeachable act, then present articles of impeachment, and only then, when that fails because he has a majority in Congress, do you call a convention of the southern states and begin debating secession, using every opportunity to trick the general public into believing that you're doing exactly what the Founders would have done (and to some extent, did do).
Massive armored battalions of Romano-Pattonist and Carthago-Gaddafist forces clash in the Mediterranean salt basin, engaged in the largest tank battles in history by orders of magnitude
>>64552971Pretty much, that added to a Carthage larp, up against nice-romancing Italian ameriboos that all wear uniforms like this
>>64553523>>64552253>Romano-PattonistWrong faction the Carthago-Gaddafist forces would be pic relatedAmazing, the trurd world celebrated that pedo junkie as their great intellectual leader
>>64552253WRONG. Patton claimed to be an isekaied Carthigian general (seriously). You claiming Patton would side with romans, particularly he fought in Italy against Mussolini is distasteful at best.
>>64552253If Patton and Ghaddafi had sex, what would the baby look like?
>>64553911The Romans are co-opting Patton, not the other way around, probably syncretizing him with Aeneas or something>>64553532A sash of medals for every Carthage-gaddafist, Patton tanker uniforms under segmentata for the pattonists

The roman military always prized itself for being extremely versatile and elastic, able to adopt new tech and warfare philosophies on the fly. Then why did it take them like 2 centuries to develop heavy cavalry and a century and a half to develop horse cavalry?
>>64555172Sure, plenty.>plated mail armor 14 centuries too early>laminar armor among non-roman troops>full face helmets outside of gladiatorial combat prior to the 12th century>especially used by fucking archers>mail aventails on helmets prior to the 6th century>overabundance of armor and the specific armor composition totally unfounded by pictoral or archaeological research in generalIt's just horrible.
>>64555194This relief from Taq-e Bostan (4th century BC) does show something that looks like an aventail.
>>64555247This is hardly conclusive, given it can be anything from a face cloth to just an unfinished face relief, rather than an aventail. Given absolutely zero other evidence for it for almost 1000 years about it it's quite a stretch to consider them to have seen any but exceedingly rare one-off use, if at all since it's obviously nigh impossible to desicively prove they were absolutely never used.
>>64555290>Backpedalling beginsI shall watch this thread with great interest.
>>64555420Please point me to a single pre 580 CE aventail depiction that isn't a nondescript flattened piece of stone, then. Surely you can do this to justify your cock garbling addiction to spreading ahistorical garbage across the internet.
Is it still a BDC, bullet drop compensator, if it's the range feature on iron sights or is BDC just used for a feature in an optic? like sights like an M16a2 or a 1903 springfield or really most military rifles have a zero for elevation and then also some kind of way to adjust the sights for range independent of the elevation zero, like the drum on the A2 rear sight. what would you call that feature?
>>64552910oh, and do you fucking thing the distance adjustments in military rifles aren't calibrated for bullet drop for a certain load, you fucking no guns retard? what do you think the A2 drum is doing?
>>64552945I thing the people calling you esl were correct.
>>64553011it's literally autocorrect, retardo
>>64552945No, they aren't faggot, I know because I've shot them >>64552939>esl turdie mad
>>64555299you're brown, you live in a brown third world country like yurop, you're retarded, you're esl, you've never shot a gun in your life, you don't know what you are talking about, your uncle molested you and your mom blames you for it, you have no dick and you have no gunz. you must be literally retarded and no gunz because the A2 sighs have bullet drop compensation for every 100 meters from 300 meters to 800 meters in 1 moa increments with labels for every 100 meters
