The specific complaint the player had, that he used classified docs to prove, was some seriously nitpicky sounding stuff. quote:Apparently, the gap between base turret structure and the armour array on the tank’s frontal projection is too wide, and the user posted documentation meant to show that the gap on the real tank is much narrower. In short, the claim is that the Challenger 2’s mantlet (or armour housing around the main gun), is modeled incorrectly in War Thunder. I don’t know anything about War Thunder but it sounds like a tiny gripe about the in-game model. I can’t imagine it has any actual ramifications for active gameplay? They’re going to lose a lot in life over an in-game model being a tiny bit wrong.

War Thunder relatively accurately models armour thickness, penetration, and shell deflection, so it technically does have potential ramifications for gameplay... assuming one of your tank shells actually *hits* that gap. This is a really small gap to hit at a really bizarre angle though -- you'd need to land a shell in the turret joint, straight on, basically skimming the surface of the tank body. It's been a while since I've played War Thunder but realistically this dude just got himself a significant prison sentence because of one slightly inaccurate tank explosion out of thousands and thousands of games he's played.

The Netherlands has you covered: 12,000 new cases in the Netherlands, 50,000 in Spain, 52,000 in the UK, USA's ramping up again as well with 40,000. We're only at 1,500 cases over here, but give us two more weeks, I'm pretty sure we'll be in the 20,000 range as well. I cannot fathom the rage and frustration of health care workers in countries that are all OPEN 'ER UP. They got to have a breather for like a month and a half and now they're being put right back into poo poo-hell

To be fair to the tanker: What are these guys shooting at? I see one crewman briefly, but it doesn't look like they could hit him from down there. Wouldn't you rather fully disable the vehicle than take potshots at something that can speed away from you quickly and turn the coax on your little fire team? Unless they popped a grenade in the turret and they are suppressing the crew here.

Still figure you'd just disable the vehicle and leave.

Lol So if you’re not a Linux nerd he just word-saladed every privacy focused smartphone android fork. Graphene OS at least compared to Lineage, which to my knowledge is the only really remotely mature one, is only supported for specific Pixel phones and from what I’ve heard runs like poo poo on unsupported hardware. I’ve heard elsewhere that the hardware for the freedom phone is just a super cheap Samsung like clone anyone can buy on alibaba marked up about 4 times so there’s no way it isn’t just bog-standard android with Parler and maybe some extra spyware pre loaded, or in the unlikely event they actually stole code from serious privacy phone projects, will be borderline unusable.

I think it’s pretty possible keep a decent amount of privacy unless you’re like an investigative journalist or political activist but it’s inconvenient and time consuming, enough that I and I imagine 99% of people haven’t bothered except for the most basic steps.

Its totally possible, but if you get an OS built for it you will discover they removed basic things because of the vulnerabilities in it. You can't do a whole lot other than call, text, and run your auth tokens, which most people are surprised to find is a subset of what they use their phones for.

As Nero Danced posted:The warthunder thing reminded me, whatever happened to the guy who leaked a bunch of stuff about the UK's sub fleet? Stuff? He didn't leak anything of note. All his complaints boiled down to "it didn't feel very safe", ignoring that that's the reality of a warship underway. It was crazy, crazy shif too. He was complaining that there were trainees filling out their task books, and that rubbish was being kept onboard. I'd expect he very quietly got the boot.

I mean “stealing” code from FOSS projects like Graphene not in the legal sense, but as others are saying it’s unlikely they’re even doing that, but they are just implying it to piggyback on the reputation more credible projects have.

Despite olds being pretty much 100% vaccinated, it seems they somehow missed the repeated reports over the last two months that even vaccinated folks can catch and transmit the delta-variant. For the thousandth time, I tell myself "we live in the dumbest timeline".

People do memorize weak points against every tank so theoretically if the gap is wide enough skilled players could aim for the gap especially if they're engaging from the front because there's nothing really else you can shoot at. I mean you're probably right but players do forgo full ammo loads to have empty turret storage because popping side turrets is easy as heck to do so who knows if the shot trap matters.
