And also a lot of pouncing on the enemy by hiding in front of the sun shooting them before they even saw you and heading home for tea and medals.

chitoryu12 posted:Actually the trench warfare involved a ton of beating people with clubs. I had the great pleasure of visiting the Imperial War Museum last year. In one part of their WW1 zone they displayed a wall full of trench clubs / maces / stabby things. It was absolutely horrifying to see all these medieval weapons. These were the tools of my Grandfathers generation.

This reminds me of Outland starring Sean Connery. The main character spends a good five to ten minute sequence of that film hiding shotguns around a space station.

We had a pretty OSHA new year in the Netherlands. Turns out that it's not a good idea to build two 50 meter high wooden towers and set them on fire when the wind is blowing toward a city. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0Lrn_aBfvQ It made pretty fire tornadoes (and set a bunch of wildfires and burnt a few cars and a house down).

Cable Guy posted:While you might be right in saying the fire generated a couple of whirlwinds, they're not fire-tornadoes. They would be actually flaming if they were... It's what the news calls them, but you're right that looks a lot worse. In the video it almost looks like they are flaming but on closer inspection they are not. E: https://twitter.com/stefandijkstra9/status/1079898781485879298 These are flaming at least a few meters before they turn into regular whirlwinds.

You left out “actively kills the end-user”, so it’s already better than the Air Force (F-35) or Marine’s (Osprey) methods.

The oxygen issues weren't really unique to the F-35. It's basically an issue across the board with most aircraft in the Air Force and Navy that use the onboard oxygen generation system. There is some sort of issue there that affected a ton of planes, including the A-10. But in defense of my statement Canada acquired 235 CF-104s. And lawn darted 110 of them. It wasn't a great plane for a lot of reasons but when you look at it, the last thing you imagine using it for was close air support. It was prone to all kinds of flight issues, and it had a tiny payload for CAS stuff. However a lot of NATO countries thought it was a great idea. Or the large brief cases full of cash that the Lockheed reps brought convinced them of that. Except Canada. Who didn't get the bribes but did adopt it as a close air support airplane.

The F-104 wasn't inherently a bad plane -- it was just a bunch of different factors coming together at the wrong time. - it was designed exclusively as a high-speed interceptor and high-altitude dogfighter, roles at which it excelled - as a result, it was unforgiving at low speeds (tiny wings) and low altitudes (needed lots of space to recover from errors) - it was heavily marketed and sold around the world and a number of US allies with small militaries bought it - for many air forces, this was their first high-speed jet, so their pilots had only trained on propeller planes or subsonic jets with straight wings, and weren't ready for the new demands - these small cheap air forces also tried to repurpose the F-104 as a ground-attack plane, increasing its wing loading (already high) and forcing pilots to fly missions at low level - the combination of inexperienced pilots, an unforgiving plane, and a dangerous mission led to lots of losses. So basically it was equivalent to buying a brand new ferrari for a 16-year-old who'd only driven mom's station wagon, and then making him drive to school on a snowy mountain road through a deer habitat. My uncle was in the RCAF for nearly 40 years and got a familiarization ride in an F-104 in the 60s, and says it is still the fastest and rawest airplane he's ever experienced.

Was the also the plane that required a long runway due to its tiny wings and we sold them to countries with short runways in the hills?

here is the f-104's engine-out landing procedure - 12,000 feet minimum altitude to start - fly the whole approach at 280mph - descent rate of 7,000ft/min (i.e. you're falling to the ground at 80mph, in addition to your forward velocity) - you have a specific 5 second window in which to drop the gear; too soon and you'll pancake at 125mph straight down, too late and you'll land on the belly

Still not the plane's fault. Poor F-104 just wanted to fly fast and high
