  1. He's being railroaded because they need any conviction in this case so they don't look like they are incompetent or hiding anything. The legal mechanism that they are using to go after him is that he is engaging in commerce without the proper licensing. It is perfectly legal to own/possesses "armor piercing" rifle ammunition (but not pistol ammo).
  2. Hey, remember that part where the Dems always accuse their enemies of the very things they are guilty of themselves?
  3. It was either @LostCosmonaut or @RobotMinisterofTrueKorea was telling me about a mod that had a nuclear aerospike engine that sounded absolutely bananas. Similar thrust to a Main Sail, but 1200+ ISP for an 11 ton engine. Basically, a viable nuclear lift stage, because why the hell not.
  4. "Rep. Joe Crowley (D., N.Y.) on Wednesday argued that President Donald Trump made his immigration deal more unacceptable by offering to legalize a greater number of illegal immigrants. "I think the president continues to take additional hostages," Crowley said. " So, the Dems getting more of what they want and what they've been asking for is viewed by them as a bad thing? I just can't get the image out of my mind where Trump is sitting on them, repeatedly punching them in the face with their own clenched fist while imploring them to stop hitting themselves. I guess that's not quite accurate, though. It's more that Trump just has to suggest to them that hitting themselves in the face is a bad idea, and they reflexively do it just to spite him.
  5. So, the new front sight post for my M39 got me on a 12" steel gong at 100yds. Comparing it to the old sight, the old one was 0.070" shorter, which was shifting the POI up by about 11" at 100yds. I will take it to a nice 100yd indoor range sometime soon and properly bench it to see where it is. The sights on the M39 are calibrated for a 150m zero, so we will see how it does. Also, I ordered a Civil Guard marked sling for it. I will post images when everything is complete.
  6. They left out the most iconic garage of them all: The Hewlett Packard garage.
  7. TIL that the maximum render sized supported by Solidworks 2018 is 20,000 x 20,000 pixels.
  8. I found a new paperweight for my desk. This will considerably augment the document anchoring capacity of my 37mm M59 projectile.
  9. That picture is some uncanny valley ventriloquist mannequin shit right there. Also, are they so disorganized that the best thing they can come up with is a pathetic mimic of a serious topic? No matter how much they want this memo to mask the real one that people actually care about, it will fade into obscurity at best. This might bring the original memo to the attention of people who previously didn't have it in their news cycle. Good job.
  10. Are they really pulling a George Takei on this? "Anything I don't like is Russian collusion" The Russians are colluding with the Republicans to distract everyone from the Russian collusion investigation by promoting a meme about the Russian collusion investigation! Those sneaky bastards! Holy crap these people make McCarthyism look tame. Also, it's not like the Russians would have any motivations to throw the US in to further political turmoil and /or seek revenge against the Obama administration for starting a shit storm in one of their client states. If only Putin would shitpost like Trump. I would love to see him tweet something like "All Russians are liars". Then again, that might not work, the left seems to be resistant to paradoxes, considering that there entire existence is one at this point.
  11. Even with a basic crew, this thing is pretty solid. I am very much looking forward to an expert crew, and eventually, ace. I may have also dumped all of my universal backups into this.
  12. The missiles on the Strv hop up into the air upon launch, so you usually don't even have to aim up to do this. You do have to on the AMX-13 SS.11, but the missiles on that are more responsive and do not over correct anywhere near as much.
  13. @RobotMinisterofTrueKorea and I have done terrible things with them. Even if you don't use the ATGM, they are right at home at 6.7 with a 20pdr. When you add those SS.11s into the mix, it gets really nasty. There is nothing you can't pen, and you can do it from completely behind cover. I would say that 90% of my ATGM kills are from 3rd person because I'm flying the missile over my cover. A great example is the north spawn on Berlin. You can park at the end of that water filled trench behind the rubble and hit tanks on the middle cap point. I did this to good effect while providing covering fire for Robot Minister, who was down in the water inserting APDS slugs into anyone foolish enough to have LOS to him. I was able to get accurate and devastating missile hits on a T26E1 and T34, the former burning down, the later having the driver and gunner surgically removed so he could be safely engaged and finished off. The only reason why the Strv is balanced is because so few people know how to employ it correctly, or even bother using the missiles at all.
  14. ATGMs are amazing cancer. The Strv 81 is a great tank because of the mix of firepower.
  15. Well, if I must have a Panther in my garage, I'm at least going to do it up right. I'm temped to squeeze a "trump" on there somewhere.
  16. You get the war crime panther by completing a series of missions 13 times over a period of time. You can also buy a token for any set that you missed for 799 bird coins each. 7 tokens gets you an AEC armored car, 10 should get you a KV-2 mod 1940, and 13 will get you the panther. This is progression based; you do not have to exchange the tokens, it will automatically give you the rewards.
  17. What I would give to have a T-V. Nothing like using captured wehraboo gear to slaughter them with. French Panthers when?
  18. So, the War Crime Panther has the performance of a Panther G, but is at the same BR as a Panther D "because it doesn't get APCR". Also, it has the same mantle as a D. Either way, it's just better than the tech tree Panther, because it has ~16 d/s turret traverse instead of 3.6 d/s.
  19. Go to the home page and check out the most recent news "Share your achievements" You will find the link in there.
