god please help me posted:I like War Crime Gigolo. More info is always welcome and with the sources being sketchy and subject to the thread rules I think they are doing the thread a favor sifting it for us.That Eurofighter document has be around for awhile. A few years I think even. Putin is a real piece of poo poo.

Jimlit posted:Is war thunder even a sim like that? Every video I see makes it just look like an arcade deathmatch kinda game. It has a few different modes with varying levels of "realism", but the "Sim" mode is really just "you don't have infinite ammo or a magical target-tracking HUD, and if you do stupid shite then your wings will fall off"; it's not some sort of DCS thing where you have to click two hundred cockpit buttons and switches in exactly the correct order to prepare for take-off or else your plane will break and/or explode.

Jimlit posted:Is war thunder even a sim like that? Every video I see makes it just look like an arcade deathmatch kinda game. Yes and no. The underlying game engine is really complex and (at least somewhat) accurately models the physics underneath. For example, if you shoot a wing off a plane, its not hit points and damage, the game is modeling your 20mm shell hitting the wing spar and calculating how much force it can take. (  its still hit points but with extra steps ) The way the game works sorta/kinda supposedly simulates real life warfare (insomuch that a tiny bush 2km away can wreck your poo poo) but the actual format of the game is basically counterstrike - 2 opposing teams, specific goals, limited respawns. At the highest graphics settings the game models are basically photorealistic, and the game will run well on a variety of hardware, and (AFAIK) its the easiest  sim multiplayer aircraft game you can get into. The bad side is the game's economic structure and pay-to-win vehicles coupled with the round-based nature and individual goals makes the player base salty as hell. Imagine if a LoL player could post a technical manual on why Amumu has armor piercing rounds (dont @ me I know nothing about LoL and had to google a character name)

I can't imagine the onion of delusion you would have to build yourself to assume that kind of risk, but I guess clout is king. Also, if it was DCS the devs would have stolen the manual themselves (and the module would be awesome). Jimlit fucked around with this message at 15:39 on Aug 29, 2023 |

WCG's posts have way more interest and value than all the eyerollers' and pedants' combined. And pretty sure he'd be posting links if it weren't for a bunch of shrieking tankie smoothbrains and pearl clutchers  soi don't think it's fair to ride him too hard on that point.

Thinking that pervasive, low-level factional violence isn't a sign of a vibrant and healthy regime just betrays your bankrupt Western mindset. The people's government is forged and maintained in fire and blood.

I don’t think it’s fair to memory hole the ridiculously exacting standards this thread has been put under due to nonstop harassment from tankies and then harangue wcg for following those standards. Being called a bloodlusting freak because you posted a tweet and then someone random replied with a gore video 2 hours later isn’t really worth the trouble.

lol wcg has been posting exactly like this for a decade, it's not because of dastardly tankies keeping him from citing a single source ever. like idc really if he is or isn't allowed to post, but that line in particular is just completely imaginary. dude just likes a twitter/telegram rumor

The people's government is forged and maintained in fire and blood. I've tried low-level factional Western terrorism, after 30 years you get inured to it mostly unless you are close to a target or it's something big & dramatic. Not really recommended tbh.  __ Nice to see some of the FSB acting in solidarity with Prigozhin.

If your autoloader on your T-72 explodes, does the crew end up hamburger or is it a survivable event for the crew? I know the Abrams is specifically designed so that an explosion like (hopefully) doesn't reduce the crew to charred gristle but I'm not versed on the survivability features of a T-72.
