Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

Both the MT-LB and the M-12 are excellent pieces of kit.

There were even versions of the AT gun that had a radar for night combat. Cool poo poo. Versions that could fire laser-guided ATGMs. Plus it works as a artillery field gun in a pinch.

I want to point out that the french officer class was entirely made of people who had spent years in relatively high-level math classes calculating artillery shots and trajectories. Allowing "less precise" way to shot at the enemies meant lower class less educated officers could get their jobs. That poo poo still poisoned the doctrines in the tank units even decade later. I mean just loving shot the walls 20 meters away, we loving don't need a calculation table.
e: tldr: it's 100% class warfare.

Lying is whatever, it's not great but if someone wants to lie then it is what it is. What annoys me is when blatant lies get thousands of likes especially when the vast majority who see the lie will never see the "my source is that I made it the gently caress up" disclaimer that comes after.

I am surprised the Germany leadership put up so little fight against the deindustrialization.

What is the Germany European identify if not for making large metal things? Certainly not coding loving apps. Is there any alternate cheap energy route being built? emphasis on cheap.

Russia greenlit the Power of Siberia II project a half year before NS2 was bombed. The Russians was making alternate plans.

I would never get into Saint-Cyr, even today. It's pretty wild. You have to complete two years of post-secondary education, write an extremely competitive national exam, then go through the interview process, write another series of exams, and then, if you get in, the actual curriculum is also pretty ridiculous and designed to screen people out.




e: If you have a Master's degree you still have to write (even harder) exams and then complete a year of studies there.

I can admire the best, of the best, of the best in principle, but this seems to be selecting for such a small group of people, idk.

how the gently caress did you come to this conclusion? Is it just 100% 'i'm just going to make poo poo up'? I hope not, that'd be boring. I want some quotes so we can analyse your hosed up thought patterns.

and putting on my mechanical engineer hat, it seems a bit pointless to drill people on math and tables when aerodynamics is not a solved problem and you’ll probably be off. even with CFD we have significant error in calculations. the only math that matters is more explosive on target
