Thank you baker
You guys are lucky I was up late
Imma go to sleep but remember to bully this nerd
what a NERD
>>91258379You don't understand. In relationships both sides are expected to behave in a certain way to maintain them or find compromises where it's not possible. The problem is that if you're a socially inept person like me you're guaranteed to fail in this field and your partner will just leave you. Especially today when people have become so self-centred and so detached from reality and each other that they prefer to break relationships rather than try to find a way to save them
Weh Wisp, rejoice!https://x.com/MintFantome/status/1866361227804565740
>>91270486no need to continue non-Minto topic cross thread
>>91270787No, I absolutely had to speak out and get my point across!Just ignore it then
I think Minto, therefore I am Minto
So for the hornet tour is she just having someone take her around live and telling them where to point her or did she get some footage and she's gonna look based on that?
I sometimes wish I was a female Wisp so she'd like me more...
I just realized this year we aren't getting a TGA watchalong... Unless Doki has one and she's there
>>91272482Create a fake female Japanese X account, repost a bunch of idol stuff and start commenting under Mint's posts
>>91272381It's probably pre-recorded footage from when they gave her a tour of the Hornet back in October as part of the Offkai Offseason concert.

>>91274676goodnight
>>91274723He really knows how to draw kissable lips
>>91274838Cute eepy Minto
>>91274939Every Minto is a Cute Minto
>>91271319>I thinkstop
MINTO IS ONLINE!!!!
>>91277103Proof??
Minto is the first person I can watch for hours and not lose interest. Like when I used to watch others, I would usually get bored around the 2 hour mark-ish (depending on the stream) and feel the need to watch something else.But with Minto, I've never had that. She has a way of keeping my interest without being tiresome. I really like that
>>91278501Welcome to Mint Fantôme. Don't forget, you're here forever
I'll watch the VOD now. Please tell me in advance, how CUTE was MINT?
>>91278656Extremely
>>91278501Same...
>>91278705her Indy hat is extremely cute for a start
>>91278820I love this Minto fanart. Just makes me want to slap her boobies
>>91279407That's an old art. She has no boobies anymore
>>91278580I've actually been here for a few months already, and you guys said the same thing back then. And it was true, she's been haunting me non-stop. Everyday I watch Minto. Even on days with no stream, I watch Minto VODs.She's taken over my life (affectionate)
>>91279407They cry out to be slapped. I don't love the mouth though
>>91279752We warned you. But hey, if you enjoy Minto then all's well
when i found minto back in 2020, i dropped every single other vtuber i watched occasionally at the time.
>>91280317Same, although I was still pretty new to vtubers at the time so I didn't have much history with any prior
mint lovedoki hate
>>91280174Yeah, I love this ghost so much
>>91278886I see Minto, I think cowgirl
>>91279468In light of her 3.0 update, I still want to slap her boobies
Waiting room up!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZvvesgCWsU
>>91282906For some reason "hornet" is associated in my head with "horny"
Oh it's a livestream, that's coolHope there's no connectivity issues
I was expecting a recording since it would be safer
>>91283086>questionCan aircraft carriers get pregnant?
>>91282906aircraft carriers are so cool!
>Mint's op image for numbers and /lig/
>>91284472She's a large indie and she's a numberfag so everything checks out
>>91284472I told you not to go to the 'log. Any last words?
>>91284917Rosebud
looking forward to the stream, i hope the military okatu don't go too hard on the autism
>>91285395The just announced the Eurofighter for War Thunder, my plane autism is already running wild.
Have you ever had a dream that that you um you had you'd you would you could you'd do you wi you wants you you could do so you you'd do you could you you want you want him to do you so much you could do anything?
>>91285675Yeah
>>91282906>thumbnail image matches OPhmm fushigi... but just a coincidence, surely
I love Mint
So is it going to be somebody walking around and streaming to her while she's at home streaming to youtube?
>>91282906I was on The Hornet back in 2003. Cool ship, be sure to check out the Apollo recovery items. Enjoy the tour!
V1 Minto-chan, my beloved!
Can Minto do cool tricks with her hands?
>>91269679I want to sexually bully Minto so god damn bad
>>91286434She's probably actually there, which means she's going to be able to point the camera at whatever cool shit she notices.>Guys! Look!It's going to be cute
>>91288111I wonder. That would be really cute, but I have a feeling it'll be streamed to her
>>91288111She talked about it a while back, fairly certain they'll have her virtually on a tablet thing and staff will be walking the tablet around for us.
>>91287336Very based
>>91286025I noticed that too kek
What songs do you most want to hear Mint song?
>>91289912weh 3
>>91289912Do you mean at the concert?
had an intrusive thoughthttps://files.catbox.moe/hgui51.png
>>91289912something from GWARThey're only the most premiere interstellar idol groupLust in Space would be a good ode-to-hate for the Wisps
>>91290457>UncutUnrealistic sadly
>>91289912The Good Ship Venus.
>>91289912I would love to see her do an opera performance in 3D. I think it would be beautiful
>>91289912Anything sayostay. I would especially like No.3470, shun wo susume, or sayonara stay tuned (the song). But really anything
>>91269525Mint taking me on a date. You guys can watch
1 more hour until minto
>>91289912What's keeping her from singing MGR?
>>91295817The songs don't fit her style of singing
I really hope she doesn't actually stream Runescape it's such a slog.
>>91296208
>>91296307No.People were complaining about ff14 being boring to watch but at least it has a story and great music and versatility in gameplay and unique 3d environments in the cities.Watching Runescape is like watching a zatsu except it's not a zatsu and she just keeps saying oh hey let me cut this tree over here I need more wood.
>>91296208I never got into Runescape I was busying playing WOW or some random JRPG
>>91296307Wisp can you pay 2 win your way to a higher charactet level and better items with skips in the runescape store or something? And can you transfer characters?Can you buy gold with real money?If Mint does play I need to start too but I wanna make it seem like I care about the game and know what I'm doing so she'll ask me stuff and talk to me more.
I think Mint should play WoW hardcore with Kiara
MINTO
so right now according to google, the USS hornet museum is closed until friday which would mean that she got some good strings to pull to get this tour private for us
MINTO LIVE!!!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZvvesgCWsUhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZvvesgCWsUhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZvvesgCWsU
>>91297959but she's dead!!!
Ok this is actually pretty cool
this is gonna be awesome!
My name is Jeff lol
You think this is sponsored by the DoD?
MALE ON STREAM
MALE ON STREAM MALE ON STREAM FLESHIE MALE ON STREAM IT'S OVER SELL SELL SELL CANCELLED BANNED BURN AT THE STAKE silly ghost, boat-waifus are azur lane, not blue archive
You guys are going to join the navy after this right? We didn't spend all this money just for people to not use it!
I didn't catch this dude's name when he actually said it, so he's just jeff to me now
>>91298161it's not gay if it's underway
Okay so is it live or did she rehearse the timing REALLY well?
>>91298204It's Gabriel I think
>>91298129The museums are basically maintained by the DoD, yeah. Especially the 4 Iowa class battleship "museums" that are still fully functional ships and can easily be refited and pressed into service if needed
>>91298240i think the telltale will be if someone from chat asks a question, and mint relays it to the tour guide and then he answers it
>>91298240pinned message says we can ask questions so this is apparently live (though "Mr. Cameraman" implies she's telecomming to Jeff)
that was based jeff
>>91298253I kinda wish there was a practical reason to field Battleships. Aircraft Carriers are cool as fuck, but there's just something about a ship just bristling with guns
at the beginning i genuinely thought he was gonna be a nervous stuttering mess but he actually knows his shit and is a very good tour guide
>>91298319Thanks, I'm stupid and didn't read.
lmao bust his balls minto
>>91298369soften coastal defenses. that's why moscow is in-land
The Wildcat is aesthetic!
Minto....
>>91298240ok it's live judging by the "g-gabe, gabe jeff"
She's bullying the poor guy...
>>91298403Tour guides/docents are (or should be) used to be talking to a group of people, so I'm not particularly surprised.
Why is Minto so evil sometimes...
Poor Jeff
I wonder if this guy's into vtubers
>>91298497>sometimes
Is this an ad?
>and here's how many Japanese the ship has killed, we have here a detailed scoreboard, probably killed your ship waifu as wellbased
>>91298547Yes. War with China is coming.
>>91298534I swear he's got something on his lanyard, but I can't make it out>he just called her mintoyeah he's probably into vtubers lol
>>91298534Nigga reference Kancolle and not Azure Lane. So I'm sure he is a bit of a weeb.
>>91298534plot twist: he's a wisp who reached out to mint to suggest the stream
He called her Minto, that's a wisp
Manletbros...
What the hecku am I watching?
1600 pound torpedo:>I" could take it!"Minto never beating the size queen allegations.
>>91298534This guy 100% has a daki, bet on it.
>>91298547Haven't you noticed that recruiter ads went from globohomo rainbow shit to action movie badass shit in the last year? You will die for zog and pedophiles and be happy.
>>91298624DoD content
he has anime keychains on his lanyard we need to identify the anime girls
>>91298624USS Hornet tour
>>91298649>bay area, californiayeah
>>91298608Imagine this is your job and one day you see Minto is coming in for a private tour and you have a chance to give it. I would lose my mind.
Dick Best taking out Akagi is a legendary moment in history.
>>91298589It looks like a white haired chibi with hair buns and purple clothes, and there's an even smaller one
>you will never be a tour guide geeking on ww2 planes and ships to your oshisFuck me.
>>91298660Glad I am from a neutral third world country.phewSorry burgerbros, have fun though.
>>91298660If I get drafted I'll keep a picture of Mint with me
>>91298744what's to stop you from starting now?
My grandfather served on USS Intrepid during the Vietnam War. He flew S-2s
>>91298744I mean aside from it being your oshis this is an extremely attainable goal
I wanna penetrate Minto and implode
>>91298744just join the navy and become an extremely charismatic, well-spoken, knowledgeable 6'5" chad
>>91298660The only way i even learn about world news these days is through meme channels on Youtube
>>91298797Yeah, they even take volunteers lol. As long as you can speak, you can pretty much do this
>GOOD MORNING MINTOOOOYou couldn't confirm a wisp any better than this
>>91298744if you're passionate about/have a profession related to something cool, then you might geek out about that to your oshi in the future
>>91298547n-no
>good morning mintoholy the propaganda is fucking working
>>91298660I'm almost 40, if they try to draft me we're doomed
>Stream touring an aircraft carrier and geeking out about planes>Nhan isn't in chatFuck, it's him isn't it?
Wisps....are WE 6'5 gigachads?
I heard on Saturday Mint is gonna be shaving her pussy on stream? Is this true?
>>91298893Nah, not enough mentions about JPEG Dog
>>91298893It unironically might be......
>>91298909No, she only lasers.
"It's...small..."Minto...
>>91298893No, Nhan is white. He has photos in cons
Is Mint the first ever vtuber to feature a decomissioned nuclear warhead on stream?
Daki confirmed
Oh no, he's one of those...
>2 hours of this wisp flirting with Mint
>>91298867IN THE NAAAAAAAAAVY
>>91298649HUH
>>91298941>decomissioned
>>91298968blame wisps, that was a chat question
>>91298733Brightshield?
this guy is actually based wow who is more likely than not a wisp
I've fallen in love with her
It is criminal that nobody bothered to museum the Enterprise, a carrier that was literally in the middle of the battle of midway and had the planes that sinked most of the Japanese carriers, yet it was unceremoniously scuttled.
Azur Lane and Kancolle keeping navy alive...
>>91298938Is this guy not white?
>>91299005I'm glad he deflected that question to his daki lol. Might have made some wisps schizo if he answered that differently...
>>91299035I'm seething to this fucking day. Enterprise and Warspite should have been museums.
>>91299043>People not interested?>Make it fuckable!
>unfortunately I am getting a graduate degreeI know how that feels
>>91299093Always works.
>>91299035it might've been like the the demolition of penn station. scuttling such an historic ship might have inspired the navy to save the hornet.
Just tuning in. This guy's cute!
>>91299032tour guides who live and breath what they do are just a pleasure to listen to
>>91299069I look like him and nobody has ever called me white in my entire life
>were you in the navy?>no I just larp but I'm considering joining if I can't get anything better
>>91299069nah he looks half black
>>91299069he's the whitest californian, that's for sure
Did Mint become a militaryfag by way of MGS or was she always interested in planes and ships and things?
>cardboard houses>wooden carriersamerica was a midstake
>Made decks out of woodDid burgers really?
Hell yeah A-4 is GOATed
>>91299209Same brbro.
>>91299210oh no he HASN'T helped launch a bunch of missiles into the third world for Israel? I don't like him as much now!
>>91299069no he is clearly half black
>>91299210literally me when i was in graduate school
>>91299244Big Boss autism got to her.
>>91299265Most of the Japanese carries had timber decks too. Almost everyone did it early-war.
>>91299156Me too wisp. Law school exams are killing me right now.
>>91299210oh no, he has a brain that works it's so joever
>>91299244She was always into military stuff and especially planes, I think her love of Top Gun goes way back before discovering MGS. I sort of assumed her dad had been in some branch, though I dunno if that's ever been confirmed or denied.
The need for sneed
>>91299265It made the ships lighter and easier to churn out. 24 fleet carriers in like 7 years is an insane rate.
>>91299073carriers are disposable bro you just throw them away like stripper clips
>>91299316idk why she likes Big Boss desu that guy is an asshole
>>91299359Being an asshole is fun
>>91299297>the work situation is shit>might as well apply to the Luftwaffe insteadDon't we all experience this at some moment in time?
I SEE THAT FUCKING S-2 IN THE BACKGROUND. MY PLANEFU
>>91299342Yeah, I think her MGS brainrot is like 80% fujobait and 20% genuine interest in military shit.
>>91299387but everyone will hate you
>>91299069a touch of the tar brush
>>91299359He become an asshole after being used and tossed away by everyone
saido chesto
>>91299423No Mint don't google 'Dancing Israelis'
>>91299423kek
>ywn make your oshi laugh by saying onegaishimasuwhy live
imagine having the tism of something and your ohi is interested in hearing you... man
What if Nhan is the cameraman?
she's trying so hard not to laugh right now lol
>>91299600Can't be, he's not screaming about Ace Combat every two minutes.
>last timebros... they had a last time..
give me some ideas, and ill doodle chibi mint as a ship girl. what kind ship would mint be?
>Last timeHe got to do a one on one rehearsal with her didn't he..
S-2 baby
>>91299692a ghost ship duh
>>91299655>>91299714You think Mint would go do a concert on an aircraft carrier and NOT take a tour while she's there?
>>91299692vietnam era pbr
>>91299759Oh yeah, she did do the mini tour they were doing back then
>>91299759Oh true yeah this IS where the concert was beforehand
>>91299759Not just that, surely the tour guide and/or Minto repared for that stream. It's a pretty unusual and special occasion for a special kind of audience.
>>91299692Ohio-class.
Why are you guys so gay?
>Wisps are gay for the hot NotNavy guy
>ignored twice on the keychainsLET ME SEE THEM>moved onNOOOOOOOOOOO
>>91299908Why are you straight, buddy?
>Grey names making her flirt with him
https://x.com/MintFantome/status/1842712898478497898This was back during the concert in October
The navy should name a ship after Mint to be honest
>>91299908we're just acclimating to Navy culture
>>91300018I mean the air force already has an F-4 Fantôme after all...
This guy's aura is impeccable tour guides who know their shit and are clearly passionate about it are the absolute best
>>91299443Solid snake also got used by everyone and he remained good, suicidal, but good
\o/
>doesn't mention wispsperhaps he's not a wisp after all...
>>91300080He literally said they had to deal with weebs multiple times they know how to milk.
>wisps are too weak to power a spirit bombGrim
>>91300194It pays to know a little
https://uss-hornet.org/team/Imagine telling one of these people that you're gonna promote their museum by giving an anime girl a tour on stream. Weird times we're living in.
>be me>enlist in the navy>"Your gonna fight for your country anon!">Get put on an aircraft carrier>It's just a museum>Have to guide around military /k/ fags and an anime girl on a computer screen around as part of my job
>>91300267Do you Rike my Ship?
>>91300194I mean, isn't it obvious?
>>91300287>the offchance the anime girl on the computer screen is your oshi
>>91300287>>Have to guide around military /k/ fags and an anime girl on a computer screen around as part of my jobSounds like fun.
>>91300267"hey we can get over 4,000 people on a single tour and only one guy actually has to walk around on the ship with me, how about it?"
>>91300335It's hilarious how every navy game has AL collabs.
>>91300287>You get paid to fuck around while everybody else goes to get shot
>>91299908i'm not a faggot but i've worked in the company of faggots
>>91300080Dude's reminding me of some absolute gigachad tour guides I had in France and Italy.French guide, "Italians are three things, poor, racist and stupid."
>>91300267>wait she has many subs?>okay fuck it schedule that weeb shit, we'll say you can pilot gundams or some shitYVAN EHT NIOJ
>>91300267Richard Snow's eyes have seen anime, I promise you that.
The noise cancellation is so annoying
>>91300343>the offchance the anime girl on the computer screen is your oshiIt's more like this anime girl would become your oshi because of this.>>91300385>French guide, "Italians are three things, poor, racist and stupid."You got to love Europe
https://uss-hornet.org/carriercon/They also host a yearly anime convention
FEMALE ON DECK
I unironically worked on a job for 3 years, where we built ALL the piping systems for 2 nuclear powered Aircraft Carrier's.We piped everything for the reactor, plus everything that wasn't plumbing related. We had to get our cars checked and us searched every day before we could start working.It was neat though
>>91300468ATTEN-SHUN!
>>91300287At this point probably half of the new navy recruits are weebs.
This guy is pretty cool...
>>91300490>At this point probably half of the new navy recruits are weebs.Ukraine has shown that a lot of young men love anime girls.
My great great grandfather died in Pearl Harbor so we could watch Japanese Imperialism infiltrate an American aircraft carrier...
>>91300485im at attention whenever i watch minto
>>91300385Man, I envy you. When I went to Amsterdam our tour guide was some Azerbaijani motherfucker who didn't inform us that you can't go to the Van Gogh museum without a two month booking and threatened that his tour company would sue anyone who goes to buy edibles. He singlehandedly ruined the trip for me.
>>91300510>there might have been some young guy dying in a hole in the freezing cold holding a pic of minto
I've lived more than half my life in this city and I've never visited the Hornet.
>>91300510Anime girls are modern pin-ups.
>>91300517>I WON BITCH
so when they land, they fold their wings and walk like gorillas?
>>91300592There was a pomudachi that got drafted iirc. Dunno if he ever returned.
>>91300517We get anime girl versions of US warships that destroyed their navy, they get McDonalds and democracy. Who won?
>>91300335My wife is cool
Fun Fact:America has the MOST aircraft carriers in the world.We have 13...the next closest has 5...Then Russia and China have 2, which are both held together with saltines and duct tape.The average aircraft carrier can hold 300 planes, and in a combat scenario, can deploy a plane EVERY 10 seconds with insane efficiency. In 30-60 minutes, the entire aircraft carriers fleet could be deployed and ready for combat.It's literally like kicking a hornets nest, and thats not even counting the fact that, that bitch is guarded by a fleet of destroyers, subs, radar boats, and repair vessels specifically FOR repairing the carrier incase of a direct hit.
>>91300713well when you look at our military budget it makes sense
>M1 GarandI can just HEAR the ping
>>91300610Nothing ever changes
>>91300713those $850bn. have to go somewhere
>>91300713Pretty sure America mogs the fuck out of everyone else when it comes to virtually all hoorah shit (with the exception of like per capita spent on the military, with Best Korea taking that one, and most nukes).
>>91300713The US Navy is the second largest air force in the world, and the US Marine Corps is the 5th.
>>91300713We have 11 carriers with 2 under construction and another 9 amphibious assault ships.
>>91300697He was russian though
>>91300905he didn't make it, then
>>91300905Probably just as many Russians died clinging to anime girls.
>>91300857
>>91300791>>91300865Unfortunately the US Navy is probably the WORST branch when it comes to procurement. No branch wastes more than they do. Even the fucking gimmie of the Constellation-class frigate has turned into a quagmire.
>>91300905rip
>>91301010They're also notorious for doing shit like covering up rape cases
>>91301086Women in the Navy was a mistake to begin with. What the fuck did they think was going to happen when you put a bunch of horny young men in tight quarters with young women?
look at this geezer wondering what he's doing with his life talking to an anime girl lmao
>>91301154>I watched my friends in the gulf die for this...
>>91300536Was it one of those weird corpo-tour companies?Going after someone for weed in Amsterdam seems, uhh, odd. Maybe liability issue from people drowning in the canals??
>>91301154Nah he's probably seen all kinds of strange.
>>91301154I can't believe jeff left steve hanging...
>>91301183I don't remember exactly. The guy just seemed to be on a power trip
gin please
>>91301237
>>91300713The sheer logistics of US military is beautiful honestly. I've read somewhere that they can basically deploy a base and have it up and running anywhere in the world in 48 hours.People laugh about the "getting mcdonald's to the soldiers" things but it really is a flex.
>>91300713>Then Russia and China have 2, which are both held together with saltines and duct tape.Doesn't Russia have just 1? 1 which is basically scrap metal unfit for service while China actually invests heavily in modern carriers?>>91300871America seems to have a lot of fancy stuff which mogs the shit out of every competition in ideal scenarios, but it seems very prone to breaking down. The F-35 for example? It may carry out every aerial mission, it's the best in stealth tech, but also very maintenance intense and its actual flight performance is more or less equal to the Eurofighter. You may read about F-35 failures every other day.
My country only has 2 aircraft carriers...
>>91301298F-35 is just highly publicized. F-16s and F-15s had similar mechanical issues in the 80s and 90s, you just never heard about them ever. Aircraft are extremely complicated.
>>91301280I think it's really cute she's messaging in chat to tell us stuff like this
Reminder: Any navy guy will literally tell you EVERYTHING about the confidentials of how a carrier works.I had one dude drunkinly tell me how the nuclear reactor worked.Tom Clancy got in trouble with the FBI for The Hunt for Red October for describing how a subs radar worked, and his response was "I just asked them lmao"
anno etto do we have a baker...?
>>91301298Oh, for sure. When it comes to the military, we love spending money for the sake of spending that fucking money. (The F-35 boondoggle, of course, but even shit like the A-10, which the Air Force wants to retire for years but Congress keeps stopping them, which is also entangled on the possible future of the F-35 in this kind of CAS role.)
>>91301298My country bought some gripens instead of f-35s...
I'm 6'5" btw
>>91301298Yeah, the Kuznetsov, famously useless, and I've heard that they actually put the crew in mechanized infantry duty in Ukraine while it's undergoing eternal repairs.Funny thing is, it's been at port for years, and they've had an issue with "lol there's no fuel" because /someone/ stole it lmao.Also the US has a lot of that shit because a lot of their doctrine from what I've heard is about air supremacy. So they have all these aircraft with niche roles assuming they own the skies because their whole military is geared for it.Of course I'm not a /k/ guy but that's what I've gleamed about the subject.
>>91301509This is not true. I've met a few hardasses who wouldn't spill shit. After some time though...
>>91301561Thankfully Ukraine has shown that slow low altitude CAS aircraft are fucking worthless in the modern day. Su-25 is no different from the A-10 in terms of function and it got fucked so hard it will never be used in battle again.
>>91301561At least you finish building the planes you spend all that money on.I will never not be salty about the Arrow.
>>91301564>My country bought some gripens instead of f-35s...lol his country fell for SAAB propaganda
>>91301646>Also the US has a lot of that shit because a lot of their doctrine from what I've heard is about air supremacy. So they have all these aircraft with niche roles assuming they own the skies because their whole military is geared for it.Its not so much an assumption as a mandate. A lot of US airpower is geared towards guaranteeing it and protecting that advantage.
I wonder how /k/ is reacting to this
>>91301669Drones are just as effective and much cheaper so yeah... I wonder if tanks are going to go away though
>>91301859Not in near future. Tanks are still very useful and actually modern tanks can stop 90% of shit that blows up old russian junk in ukraine.
>>91301408seconding this. you also have the constant exponential increase of information availability and spread that effectively started after the first F-22 was built. which is great because now your uncle can bitch about the F-35 program being over budget despite him not even knowing how planes can fly
>>91301859>Drones are just as effective and much cheaper so yeahDrones have a few major disadvantages. Their payloads aren't nearly as large and neither is their loiter time. But that can be rectified by using something like the Super Tucano for those low intensity COIN operations and using F-35/F-15EX for peer conflict in conjunction with drones. >I wonder if tanks are going to go away thoughNah, I think its just the tank tech we're seeing in Ukraine is stuck in the 80s and getting hard countered by 2020's era anti-tank weapons. Every modern MBT moving forward is going to be decked out in APS + EW systems and I think it'll even out again.
>>91301859Tanks are mostly useful with combined arms. They're useless on their own. The Russians lost so many tanks because their soldiers are poorly trained conscripts that would immediately abandon them at the slightest inconvenience.A tank provides very effective cover for infantry and the infantry can protect it from drone strikes in a "proper" usage scenario.All that said though, tanks are being phased out as armies are moving away from massing infantry in favor of robots and drones.
So her panties are basically waterlogged by now right?
i want cake now
Free cake, courtesy of Captain Fantome...
>>91301561>which the Air Force wants to retire for years but Congress keeps stopping themMy country is just the same, just on a smaller scale. A war had to break out in the neighbourhood to finally make them come to senses and retire the Tornado which is in use since the 70's. The gov announced that they would increase the military spending to, in money, Russia's military budget times 3. I wonder where all this money went... apparently they ordered a few F-35s. Meanwhile, the air force had so high requirements when the Eurofighter was developed that one of the prime partners, France, dropped out and made the Rafale instead.
heh this guy is alright
>>91302254i know mine are
>>91302087>All that said though, tanks are being phased out as armies are moving away from massing infantry in favor of robots and drones.They are not. No the USMC divesting all of their tanks doesn't count.
Women are so sweet. We're touring a war ship and Mint is thinking is everyone had cake on their birthday
This is so unexpectedly fun, this feels like a cute girl went out of her way to surprise me with a fun date, I love minto so goddamn much
damn he walked into the pixel room
>>91302374Yeah, I wasn't expecting this. A surprise date is a good way of putting it. I'm having a blast
>>91301859Tanks ARE going to be the drones, anon
>>91299729>>91299763>>91299855spent a little too much time on the ghost ship, probably an abyssal destroyer?
>>91302488That is not a tank
>I hope you guys are enjoying the tour so far
So instead of developing cool mechas like in VOTOMS we're just developing remote controlled weapons? Even war in the future's gonna be soulless ;_;
>>91302537cute!
>>91302537kino!
>>91302537very cute
such a wholesome overall dude, God
>>91302673Too complex for the returns.
Dude has a vtuber group wth
oh god he's showing her his shipgirl keychainswe can't compete brows
>he runs vfleet projectOOOHHH That's the connection then
>runs a vtuber groupAhhhhhh it makes sense now
What the fuck
That was unexpected
Military sakana
>>91302841it's really falling into place. how neat
>>91302673Dogfighting died decades ago, it’s already too late
>>91302930The second the Sparrow stopped being a shit missile dogfighting was over.
wait wait wait, i just tuned inis mint doing a USS hornet tour?i fucking love flat tops
>>91302673At the end of the day war is about money. Mechs would be too expensive
>>91302837Shipgirls!
>>91302969BVR HATE
>>91303007She is! highly recommend watching from the beginning, tour guide is an incredible dude
>>91302550Land vehicles are next, is what I was saying.
>>91302918I wonder if this guy is also how they get so many anime/vtuber events there
>>91303007Yeah, the tour has been really fun
>>91303033>some giggling asshole can just fling an amraam at you and there isn't a fucking thing you can do about it
>>91303055They're not. Until AI can replace infantry there will always be manned vehicles.
binto when is project winguman dlcis best gaEM
>>91303167Tbf pilots are expensive to replace. Training takes years
>>91303167>>91303055I mean to a certain extent we've already started to see less land vehicles in combat because drones are just easier to hide and can engage with enemies from way further away.
>>91302837How can a grad student afford that?Is he a trustfund kid?
This is been a pretty damn cool stream. Not something most vtubers do.
>>91303351thats why minto is the best
>>91303167You don't need to replace infrantry completely, just make it so sending infantry to your drone-controlled areas becomes so costly that all there's left is to send drones. You don't have to be better; you just have to be good enough.
>>91303338he lives in/near san fran
>>91303351Mint isn't most vtubers. and that's why i like her
>>91303338you only need like $10k to start a vtuber group
>>91303241wait shit, it finally came out on steam?
>>91303278We've seen less land vehicles because 80s era MBTs are not survivable in Ukraine. That's ignoring how successful the Bradley has been. Modern Merkava's did just fine in Gaza and Lebanon.
HOLY BASED
you think we can get a mint + ward carroll collab
>>91303418Yeah, earlier this month. But she should play the AC7 DLC first. No, I'm not Nhan, I promise.
>>91303400Unless your drones become completely impervious to microwaves and jamming drones are just a new complimentary piece, not the dominant military weapon of the future.
The Norwood Reaper has been attacking Jeff
>Drones this>Tanks thatThis is the actual goat weapon of war
>>91303521Maybe, but do keep in mind that there's a lot of movement towards giving drones some autonomy against EW. It's not going to happen today, but in a few years it's conceivable.
>>91303603>towed artilleryNot anymore. Counterbattery is too fast. Everything has to be tracked or wheeled.
>>91303441>Modern Merkava's did just fine in Gaza and LebanonI doubt that Hezbollah or Hamas have military equipment that rivals either that of Ukraine or Russia.
>>91303603artillery is for cowardly israelis.
>>91303649They have ATGMs provided by Iran and they were defeated by APS pretty reliably.
LEAKED
NEW ACE COMBAT LEAKED
Holy shit
ACE8 DOUBLE CONFIRMED BROS
>>91303412>10kThat's like the cost of a single model..You'd need to hire someone to write up contracts, need a lawyer and accountant, need to handle international tax, and a bunch of other stuff.I'd think you'd need at least 50k
NHAN GET THE FUCK IN HERE BRO
>>91303510I feel like he’d be too glued to stream to post here. Oh well, time to go play more project wingman now
>thinking AC8 will ever come out
Did we...Did we just witness a major leak?
>>91303441It's not necessarily a case of them not being viable it's more of a case of between fuel, transportation, people to drive them, repairs, etc etc. it's just a lot more efficient to use drones to do long distance bombing.
>>91303670>israelisNo one loves artillery more than Russians except maybe Yugoslavia, but Tito is gone.
despite shilling the military I found the stream pretty cute. the tour guide is a fun dude.
>>91303797Nah this stuff happens all the time
Reports that say that AC8 hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns- the ones we don't know we don't know.
This dude is so funny, he's great.
>>91303818Drones aren't even the primary killer in Ukraine, its artillery. Drones have a major role to play but they're not replacing anything.
>>91303824absolutely. whatever you think of war machinery, the micro cosmos of a military ship is fascinating
>mint will never thank you for your service.
>>91303908Its a small city on the sea.
Alan has a glass of piss
>>91303871Not yet, but I predict it'll be the future. Drones are just pretty simple.
>>91303839>unknown unknownssuch as minto's mintos
>>91303929I'm too disabled for the military to want me anyways.
>>91303974Until they don't fry when you point a microwave at them no.
I should have asked if it's still custom to have actual cats on ships. Feline pets.
I can't believe Nhan is missing this
How do we get people to subscribe to mint so she can hit 300k?
>>91303871Yeah. My guess is there's going to be automatization across all branches of the military, but it's not just going to be flying drones with grenades. It's much more probable that automatization and remote control will become more common across everything.It might end up being more a force multiplier than anything else.
>>91303929Every time someone posts a Spurdo, I'm indirectly thanked for my time in the Maavoimat.
I feel like I've seen this background before
>She's going to talk to him againIs that a leak for a future concert?
>>91304029While no longer required for pest control, yes the ship's cat is still a thing most ships still do.
Why would she need to keep talking to a tour guide after it's over...
Oh shit I just realized we're way over bump limit, I'll bake if we don't already have a volunteer! I like baking
>>91304106I can see MBTs moving towards remote controlled turrets with auto loaders, like that Abrams test vehicle they were showing off a little while back.
qrd on vfleet?
>>91304255Pls bake, I'm sweating with worry uuuuuu
https://vfleetproject.com/talent/aidrian-augusteSo this is him right?
>>91304204I used to be a tour guide. It's just something you do, especially if you have some time until the next tour starts.
>>91304287Okay I'll bake!!
>>91304106Nta but they'll never be automized, not to any level of making decisions for itself. We're fine with remote control but we're uncomfortable with the idea of true automization.
>>91304308For an online call?
>>91304405>>91304405>>91304405New bread has been baked!
>>91304294>they have talents whose design is inspired by ships and aircraftthis is so cool>>91304388irl, but they basically gave a tour together for us even if it seemed as if it was a tour for Minto.
>>91304294Doesn't sound like him at all
