2023-01-11 at 11:14 PM UTC in Military Genius Zelensky wants Ukrainians to throw molotovs at Russian tanks
Originally posted by Jiggaboo_Johnson Nah, they are 200 miles away and below the ocean.
10 is still not a lot of ANY weapon in this current age…that's we have thousands of nukes which are far more devastating than an aircraft carrier.
Air craft carriers are more about the "ooh look at me!" to little worthless countries rather than going up against the other big boys.
I agree that advances in weaponry have completely obsoleted a lot of the 'big boy' heavy hitters invented in the last century though - that was my point about tanks too. One hypersonic missile costs infinitely less than a fuckoff huge aircraft carrier, and one well-placed one is all it takes. Not disputing that.
That said, 200 miles falls within the average AWACS patrol range and sortie capabilities of any CSG featuring a Ford. Maybe they sink your boat, but the crew on board the sub *really* should care - ASW is a core part of US Navy doctrine, if they get spotted they're also donezo.
PS: 10 is a lot of a huge and hugely expensive ship that can be so easily sunk, no? Like a guy who buys 10 magic beans is buying a lot of magic beans for a guy who lives in a world where magic doesn't exist. -

I dunno, if your doctor diagnosed you with 10 simultaneous different kinds of rare cancer, you'd probably think "damn that's a lot of cancer" because relative to the 0 or 1 kinds of cancer that most people have that actually is quite a lot of cancer, you cancerous pedant.
Originally posted by Jiggaboo_Johnson 1 nuclear sub could take care of all of them and still have change left to get a bag of fish and chips on the way home.
That nuclear sub has to make it past hundreds or thousands of miles of AWACS first. -

Originally posted by Lanny Like sure, the unrealistic beauty standard thing does cut both ways, but the idea that you can’t get a girl if you’re not up to some standard of physical attractiveness is just empirically false. My buddy in high school was really overweight and looked like a human chipmunk and that dude pulling girls left and right because he was funny/personable/sold weed. I was _salty_ about it at the time haha, but really you don’t have to be a model by any stretch and it was a good lesson to learn.
And conversely I’ve known very good looking dudes who couldn’t get a date because they were socially awkward as hell. Honestly having a good sense of humor and being able to have a casual conversation is a better strategy for getting bitches than looks any day off the week.
There are 30 year old virgins in this world and my goofy, awkward, tranny ass still managed to pull a couple cuties before I started whoremoans. You don't even need to be funny or able to hold a casual conversation, you just have to... uhh... 🤷♀️ -
2023-01-11 at 9:46 AM UTC in Military Genius Zelensky wants Ukrainians to throw molotovs at Russian tanksReal issue is tanks are last-century tech stemming from last-century martial philosophy, see: the smoldering ruins of Russian tanks at the start of the war. I think it's only fair that Ukraine is given the opportunity to get their shit fucked by Ivan in exactly the way they were fucking Ivan's shit a year ago.
Originally posted by aldra tanks are tanks; they all do basically the same thing, it's mostly just a question of survivability. the point is that the characteristics of the specific ones they want limit their range and logistic ability, not to speak of maintenance and training requirements etc
you're right, motorcycle brigades and technicals are the only sound strategy
its like you aren't even worried about sn-risk smh -

Originally posted by aldra look at the weight difference between Soviet and Russian MBTs vs those two; a base T72 is like 45 tonnes vs. almost 70.
Soviet-era infrastructure was designed with this in mind
Yeah, they'll fuck up roads and I wouldn't want to drive one over a bridge, like I said. But please do bear in mind, these tanks are also Soviet-era. As in, "Ukraine was literally the expected environment for the Abrams and Leopard to operate in". You know what else fucks up bridges? Explosions. Not being able to cross them was expected, regardless of weight. -

"they'll fuck up pontoon crossings"? are you high?
ukraine rivers are very special you see. nothing like bosnian rivers, which can be pontooned by MBTs. ukrainian river water is highly corrosive (on account of chernobyl), and as such pontoons suffer a -50% geographic debuff to structural integrity.
"they'll obliterate roads"
no shit. great thing about tanks:
"b-but muh muddy springtime ukrainian weather they'll get stuck"
yeah probably, so why the fuck not say that instead of a bunch of asinine bullshit
(presumably because the muddy season is, as the name suggests *seasonal*, so that's barely even relevant to whether or not having tanks would do some good) -

Originally posted by aldra the Abrams and Leopards (most likely candidates) are way too heavy for the region; at almost 70 tonnes they'll obliterate roads, fall through bridges and fuck up pontoon crossings

You guys are just as strict. Unless I become rich and/or famous, I'd be denied entry to the US too (even that's no guarantee, but money talks and bullshit like having having celebrity status to lose really puts uncle Sam's mind at ease). My best hope rn would probably be applying for permission to enter the country in advance, which if I recall correctly costs something like $1000USD. And that's just for the privilege of having your application reviewed and given a bit of thought - it's not like it guarantees entry, or necessarily even improves your odds of being permitted entry into the US. I'd like to believe it does improve your chances, but honestly the option probably just exists so relatively wealthy individuals with spotty, criminal histories can avoid wasting their time on a flight/in line at a border crossing when they're destined to be turned back. -

Originally posted by aldra I'll get it if I see it on sale
I remember Rizzo and others ranting about it when it was an ascii game but the layout just pissed me off too much to give it a try
it's not gonna be on sale for a long time (per the company selling it), but the steam version and free version are the same you're literally just paying for the texture pack. scummy move would be: buy the game full price, copy all the graphics folders from data/vanilla, and do a no questions asked steam refund. :^)
