>>731115991battleships that are tanks and also planes
>>731115991no one gives a fuck about battleships
>enters thread>weighs 6 morbillion kilograms >can't even move >refuses to elaborate
>>731116119Battleships are COOL and EPIC
>>731115991planes that are also mechs
>>731116215Has this ever happened outside Macross?
Planes in video-games, ships in real life.
>>731116245the fuck is macross?
>>731116318
Americans be like >>731116162
>>731115991Planes are for MenTanks are for little girlsAnd Battleships are for Old men
>>731116245Transformers I suppose, Starscream looks pretty cool even if he's a little bitch
>>731116508What about submarines?
>>731116193There is precisely one cool battle between battleships in their entire history (Washington vs Kirishima)
Ships with planes on them
>>731116741What game?
Feet
>>731116245The Mecha Tengu from Command and Conquer Red Alert 3 do the same thing.
>>731116238>mfw that's all my fault
>>731115991flying tanks
>>731115991Planes are sex.
>>731116641anon it's long round and full of sea men
>>731117215Nuclear Option
>>731117368>YOU MADE ME nuke the country you FUCKING KEK>WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU YOU AREN'T EVEN REAL
>crusty Microsoft Flight Simulator X op pic
>playing ace combat 5>war is evil>look at all the destruction and pain war causes>but at the same time>MISSILE HIT THE TARGET WHOOOO
Battleships are incredibly fun in theory but I've yet to actually have fun playing a single battleship game.
>>731115991>battleshipsThey are cool and have been obsolete for like 80 years now
I have never been on a plane, on a ship or in a tank yet I love them all in media
Train
>>731117468You called?
>>731115991ships stopped being cool post-Dreadnought, they were best when they ere made of wood or at least Imperialist-era steamships like Teddy Roosevelt's Great White Fleettanks are pretty awesome, but they don't fly, and flying is really fucking awesome, so planes win - this is also why spaceships would win if spaceships were real, everyone wants to play X-wings vs TIE fighters because its the pinnacle of cool
>>731116741god I LOVE VTOL VR I just hate sitting in VR for hours.
>>731116741I just realized this was Nuclear Option and not VTOL VR because I saw it from the thumbnail w/e
>>731115991What causes men to get so autistically attached to these machines?
Helicopters for me, I knew bf6 would be shit the second I flew a helicopter and it handled like shit.
>>731118871why doesn't the enemy just arty the railroad lines?
>>731119319Something about machinery, especially heavy machinery, is just inherent in the souls of real menI think the love of machinery spreads via the morphogenetic field
>>731119354If you dont hit the rail damnnear dead-on you'll at best shuffle around some gravel and wood.
>>731119351I've never played any copterkino, any recs?
>>731119471Nothing, we've been treated like unwashed leper masses by game developers, at best; just cause 2/3, bf3(dead), apache/hind back in the 90s.
>>731119673Thoughts on AC: Assault Horizon?
>>731119673>>731119351BF6 helos can be handled better through sensitivity settings. What really pisses me off is how they put giant metal bars or frames on the canopy, angled to perfectly block your vision when you're tilted forward.
>>731119673>Attack choppercel problemsUs little bird chads just keep winning
Did someone say helicopter kino
>>731120143This looks pretty fun but I can name a dozen solid top down helicopter games, Jungle strike through to Megacopter, they still make lots of these.
>>731120052Never tried it, I heard it was call of duty slop for brainlets, and I didn't want to ruin AC for myselfVtolVR is pretty good tho, and has some helicopters.>>731120138gif for you and your sexy advanced stealth profiles keeping your birds aliveMy only saving grace is a lot of the drone simulator games I've played control very similar to helicopters and it brings me great joy, I'm working on a drone pilot license now but it's a huge fucking chore.
>>731116741most fun engagement during the taiwan war, 2029
Alright bros I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna get Nuclear Option
>>731120353that's exactly what assault horizon was, but there were a couple cool chopper missions
>>731119673What you talking about? DCS has several helos
>>731120576I just remember the e3 footage of it, with some buildings falling down and the guy doing some acrobatic shit to dodge the falling building in his f22 raptor or w/e>>731120678I'm far too fucking stupid to learn how to play a REAL flightsim. I've tried DCS at least once, for vr's sake, but I'm sitting there in the cockpit pressing random shit until something happens.
I wish there was a tank game set in a fictional setting with a cool campaign, it's all fucking WW2 stuff. Mechs are pretty much tanks I guess but something like MechWarrior Mercenaries with tanks would be great
>>731120678Isn't DCS for ugly, smelly, fat, obese, virgin realism faggots with father issues?
>flight sim exist>tank sim exist>sub sim existBut no warship sim. Why is that?
>>731120779In my experience more like baseball cap indoors wearing simdads who moan on forums for not having enough time to play but somehow have thousands of hours playtime
>>731120953Closest you'll get is War Thunder. And probably because theu require hundreds of crew
>>731120752I want Cold War shit. It seems like every single time someone attempts anything between Korea and Iraq, anything more than an ARMA mod, it hits 30 different roadbumps and dies.
>>731119319Powerful machines are literally what men have been striving for the last 20,000 years of human history.That's why one of the earliest accomplishments of mankind of was a giant pyramid.
>>731119471DCS World. That's the best we get and it's not great but it has lots of options and clicky switches.
>>731121252A warship sim running on clownshoes SS13/Barotrauma coop fucking everthing up constantly could be fun.
>>731115991Starships.
>spit, sticks, or stones?Oreshniks?
>>731120742>I'm far too fucking stupid to learn how to play a REAL flightsim. I've tried DCS at least once, for vr's sake, but I'm sitting there in the cockpit pressing random shit until something happens.It's easy, just watch some startup videos or press Win + home to let it start for you. No one is asking you to be perfect at flying it first try. Hell, If you can hover first time instead of tipping it straight over into the ground, you'll be ahead of most of our first attempts at flying a real sim.But if that's not your thing, I highly, and I mean10/10 recommend nuclear option. It's probably the closest we're ever getting to a new Comanche or Apache game because Novalogic is deader than dead and I think the new novalogic is THQ Nordic wearing its face.https://nuclearoption.wiki.gg/wiki/SAH-46_Chicane
>>731122203>>731120742ngl either this thing is so fucking cool. if I never get another Comanche game again I can at least rest easy knowing that we have a version of it that we should have got instead.
>>731122297The A-19 Brawler has kinda made the Chicane a waste of 35 million $
>>731120953>Sea Power: Naval Combat in the Missile Age>War on the Sea
>>731122557>Naval Combat in the Missile Age
>>731122557>early access>$73
>>731118337>They are cool and have been obsolete for like 80 years nowMore like 100 but were also considered pride of nation so everyone kept these white elephants.They were super expensive and looked good on propaganda pics but when it went to actually using them it was too risky to lose it and nobody wanted to risk that. That's why WW1 had 1 single battleship battle with no battleship loses, both sides decided it's not worth damaging their most expensive ships(despite them being most armoured ship class) and were keept in ports.WW2 had Bismarck and Tirpitz trying to bully some civilian ships and Bismarck getting rekt on it's first patrol, while Pacific had Yamato that was bestest battleship ever but was kept out of combat in fear of damaging it, then it was sunk by planes.
>>731121448>I want Cold War shit. It seems like every single time someone attempts anything between Korea and IraqIraq-Iran war would be kino, you had modern airforce clash of modern soviet vs western equipment in hands of equally incompetent muslims, missile strikes on cities wierd aricraft operations(hugging Syrian border to hit other side of Iraq) bombers dropping 9T bombs, total chemical weapons, mechanized manouver warfare, human waves and every tactic known to man and both sides were equall(retarded), so it wasn't shit like superpower mogging local army and then getting bogged down by internationally supported gurellas for next 10-20 years. This single war had everything with exeption of nukes being dropped, it's absolute kino of game setting. only thing that hold it back is fact nobody care about sandniggers.
>tanks
>>731115991planes beat battleships so hard that naval warfare became about making ships to carry planes around.
>>731123697But the AESTHETICS of battleships bro...
