Legend of the A-10 Hog and the Avenger [Mythbusting]
Sturgeon replied to molnibalage's topic in Aviation
AFAIK no. -

Substantially better than the A-10, for one thing it's circa 240 km/h faster. -

One of the best FailHog pills is to realize that this is a large load by operational A-10 standards: -

Central Front would have been thick with ZSUs, it would have been lucky to survive insertion. -

Oooh, good point. Confirmed: The A-10 is inferior to the Spad. -

I would like to introduce the idea of the A-10 Threshold: This is a concept to determine what technological threshold the A-10 Thunderbolt II occupies. We have determined that it's clearly worse than an A-4, arguably worse than an F-100D, and probably worse than an A-26 Invader. Discussions are ongoing as to whether it's inferior to the SBD Dauntless. -
The Space Exploration Achievements Thread
Sturgeon replied to Sturgeon's topic in Elon Musk: Making Space Great Again
Surprised this hasn't been posted here yet, in the dead of night Astra reached orbit early yesterday: This is a big deal because Astra is a small company of about 100 people, and they reached orbit on their 4th try after a little over 5 years since the company's founding. -
Next full comp, which will be no earlier than next year, will be a strike fighter competition.

I was not sure why so many people thought the soundtrack was mediocre, it was one of my favorite parts of the movie.

What the fuck do you think you're doing now? LMAO projection, much? With your shitty attitude? We mind mightily. You've been a banned man walking for months, now. It's funny that now you're professing your ignorance on virtually every subject from materials to engineering to what hole the square block goes into, but months ago you waltzed around chewing people out for how "ignorant" you thought they were because they didn't think Tiger was the best thing since sliced bread.

We should also note that these are not just nasty surprises the judges are pulling on people, these threats are described in previous competitions (either weapons of the winners, or threats described in other solicitations). Plus, you can simply infer their existence based on the history of the 20th Century.

The fragile and transitory nature of humour
Sturgeon replied to Toxn's topic in Fiction & Entertainment
Surely that's not really him! -
I notice that most 2247 competitors would probably eat Stumpy alive. Comanche for example has ~530mm RHA pen at 2kyd. Plus Comanche is immune to the 85mm on Stimpy through a generous frontal arc. Kind of funny since Stimpy is supposed to be a later tank.
