The biggest problem is outsourcing, which de-industrializes a nation and leaves a lot without work.Trickle down economics does work; China is a state controlled example and lower taxes on the wealthy have corresponded with a higher employment rate. Outsourcing throws all that in the trash, making the wealthiest even more wealthy while destroying local economies.

Nothing says allahu ackbar like a Toyota Hilux.

 

 

 

Stats from Avakov [a known personallity in Russian part of internets of Ukrainian political sphere]:

 

"Highly portable complex "Stugna-P" on the basis of CF MOTO TRACKER.

Maximum firing range - 5 km. The tandem-warhead HEAT. 24.5 kg. 100mm caliber. Armor-piercing - at least 550mm.

Maximum speed of vehicle - 105 km/h

Hi, Russian tanks!"

 

why didn't they just buy some Toyota Hilux instead?

WT's ridiculous shot/pen calcs does not help things.

Not unusual to see shots bounce off of things they should not, or penetrate and do little to no damage (Or barely pen, and destroy the entire vehicle because "reasons" or some shit).

WT has no overmatch calculations so you see some really wonky stuff at extreme angles.

Spalling isn't properly modelled so most damage is cause by HE fillers and nuke 88s have pretty big HE fillers, allowing them to nuke allied tanks which are also relatively cramped, usually killing all crew or crippling a tank that gets penetrated.

It always feels good rolling a team of naziboos in their bunkers with Shermans/T-34s and taking little casualties in the process.

It's a materials/manufacturing issue in as much as everything is.

 

No amount of materials and manufacturing will allow you to make an electrolytic capacitor with the energy density of a cartridge. Supercapacitors might seem to fit the bill, but they currently have serious issues in terms of discharge time (read: they have decent energy density but terrible power density). The perfect solution would be something like an high-speed thermal battery - able to combine great power density and great energy density at the pull of a trigger. But at present we have nothing that looks even vaguely promising there.

 

This is a physics and chemistry issue, and won't be solved without a breakthrough in basic research.

A problem with energy density is in the stability of the capacitors themselves. Having extreme energy and power density are dangers themselves, like the stories in the news about exploding cellphone batteries.

It will be a quite a bit of time before EM weapons are practical enough for small arms because of the capacitors which need to be charged before every shot.

I have it on good authority that the real SS stenciled huge runes on their wife beaters and ran around with AKs.

 

just a couple of modernized STG-44s :^)

premium for AW?

Being a furry used to be a problem, but they wisely stepped aside and let bronies take the bullet to the face that they had been taking for years prior. Now you don't see so much about fursecution and being a furry is SNCA.

Except in Wulfie's case, where he'll deny, deny, deny all day long.

I am saying it as a matter of fact: Wulfie is probably a homo, and he's definitely a faggot. Saying he's a homo makes him uncomfortable, and at this point I have a goddamn reflex whenever he's mentioned.

ironically, it's the furries in the brony group that ruined bronies

I wonder what insane make-believe stats they'll give the Siemka PL-01 so it can compete with the T-14 at tier 10.

 

 

It will be virtually invisible.

Chieftains are great

Buck you talentless hack fraud smug bastard 

that looks like an avatar you would use

I just wanted to take this opportunity to say "Homo Erectus" 

 

By far the most giggle worthy name in human evolution  

It sounds like the title of a porno set during caveman times.

Ahh, a true successor to the BV 141.

 

 

This is what you get when you tell Germans to make a single engine aircraft with optimal visual characteristics. Of course you need a fully glazed gondola to look out of and for the rear gunner and therefore an asymmetrical design. The best part is that B+V wasn't even invited. It seemed to have been a functional design once fitted with a more powerful engine used by the FW 190.

 

Problem was, the winner was already picked by then and was a perfectly normal looking plane, the Fw 189, which neatly sidestepped the problem that it used two engines by using two engines that nobody really wanted anyway, rather than the same engine as a frontline fighter. It also had the advantage of actually flying well, unlike Arado's entry, which was preferred by the brass until they actually tried flying the thing.

B&V aircraft designs are what happens when you have a company specialized in ship design to do aircraft design.

 

The Germans won the peace if not the war

 

Well, he did point out the obvious

One of my friends had a methhead at a pizza place where he worked. The guy ended up getting fired after a few weeks on that stuff because he kept on stealing all the money from the register for his habit.

At the old place where I worked on a demolition job, a couple of guys got fired for smoking weed on the job after they happened to offer a joint to the safety inspector who was checking up their workplace.

Is there like a cannabis lobby or something? There are several examples from my own life of people who became utterly useless trash after they started smoking pot heavily.

I don't claim to know anything about THC's effect on the brain, but it's difficult to ignore the correlation between deadbeats and stoners.

Any drug that triggers the release of chemicals to receptors on nerve cells will degrade it and there are no exceptions. Now, the big problem with potheads is that they pretend that it's some magical thing which provides the same as other drugs without any downsides such as degradation of nerve cells and that it's not addictive, both of which are false.

These potheads are like wehraboos when it comes to defending marijuana.

Sounds like you guys just need to chill and smoke some weed :^)

"I smoke weed everyday and it hasn't affected me."

-says every hippie when you bring up that weed is addictive and harmful to the brain

Didn't the Imperial Russians have plans for a battleship armed with a ridiculous amount of torpedo tubes?

There were oversized versions of these in China called zhanmadao/horse cutters which were used as a formation weapon, where elite troops stood in ranks, several deep and did nothing but chop down and back up like a meat-grinder and were used as anti-cavalry and shock troops. They were later dropped because the troops were incredibly hard and expensive to train. The Japanese version, the no-dachi and the o-dachi were ceremonial weapons I believe.

Overall, swords like that were dropped in China after the Tang Dynasty around 900AD because they were expensive to make, hard to maintain and near impossible to repair and were getting obsolete with newer armor. For the troops that were armed with those swords, they were generally replaced with blunt weapons and policemen/guards replaced them with broadswords again because they were much, much cheaper and don't generally need to get through armor.

It's almost surprising that the katana style swords were in use for ~1000 years.

"Coffin of 7 brothers"

Not withstanding the fact that the T-34 only has a crew of 5 at most, but don't let little things like facts get in the way of your pea-sized brain

Remember this is nazi statistics, 2-3 more crew members are conjured when a T-34 is immobilized.

This is also why swords tended to be talked about a lot and preserved - they're expensive to make and take immense skill to make well. So they get to be status symbols even where they are not particularly more effective than other weapons (cue this argument again).

That's somewhat true in China.

Straight swords were a status symbol back in China, mostly worn by scholars and nobility. Broadswords were certainly more effective but when they were worn, they were worn pretty much only for practical purposes mostly by guards.

He's missing a Pinarello Dogma or some S-Works.

Hmm yes, the world's blurriest photo of a roadside marker, that's some Bigfoot level evidence right there.

That looks better than what my phone camera can take.
