Is this supposed to incentivize the other E-11A pilots to have more situational awareness or something? Don't let your plane get shot down because we won't say it's a bird strike, we'll say you're retards who don't know how to fly. If they weren't working for the USA it would be sad how dirty they got done.

To be fair it wouldn't be the first time pilots in a stress situation shut down the wrong engine when one stopped working, and it sure wouldn't be the last. But gently caress giving any of America's bullshit the benefit of the doubt.

I don't understand the "aha! We will turn the A-10 into a drone!" concept because I dont think (&I could be wrong here) the cost of training a pilot is more than fuel and maintenance, plus you still need to train a pilot, they just sit on their rear end on a terminal instead of a cockpit. I guess robots don't need to maintain flight hours?

the average cost of training for an f-16 pilot is more than 5 million usd, and that price only rises for newer airframes :shrug:

The Panzerhaubitze 2000 is just the most German thing, I am really not surprised they broke down after a couple weeks.

quote:

After a couple of weeks of intensive use, the guns required repairs, and error messages were being displayed as they are designed and built to fire no more than 100 shots a day. Germany considers 100 shots per day "a high-intensity mission"

Any company above the 'indy gaming' level believes they need to dump 7+ digits funding so nobody is willing to experiment outside of smaller groups? capitalism destroys all, be it the western world's armed forces or their major entertainment institutions

I'm the f35 pilot trailing the bomber by 50 meters holding a radar lock networked to the nuclear missile battery gritting my teeth with the biggest psycho grin instead of switching to guns

quote:

On the F-35A this is mounted internally near the left wing root with 182 rounds carried; the gun is more effective against ground targets than the 20 mm gun carried by other USAF fighters. In 2020, a USAF report noted "unacceptable" accuracy problems with the GAU-22/A on the F-35A. These were due to "misalignment" in the gun's mount, which was also susceptible to cracking. These problems were resolved by 2024. The F-35B and F-35C have no internal gun and instead can use a Terma A/S multi-mission pod (MMP) carrying the GAU-22/A and 220 rounds; the pod is mounted on the centerline of the aircraft and shaped to reduce its radar cross-section

how it really works is that when you first pick a door you have a 1/3 chance of being right and a 2/3 chance of being wrong, and then monty hall has to open a door with a goat behind it

this means that if you picked a door with a goat behind it then monty has no choice but to open the other door with a goat behind it, which means that in the 2/3 of cases where you picked wrong switching doors will guarantee that you get the car
