  1. RIP my money, hello drafting station. On order from newegg Intel Core I-7 5820K Haswell E 6-Core 3.3GHz Gigabyte GA-X99P-SLI mother board Corsair CX750w 80 plus bronze power supply Corsair Vengeance 64GB (4x16GB) quad channel kit PNY Quadro K2200 4GB workstation video card Samsung 850 PRO 256GB SSD Cooler Master V8 GTS heatsink Cooler Master MegaFlow 200mm fans (2x) Cooler Master HAF 912 Windowns 7 Pro SP1 64bit OEM On monday I will be talking with MCAD about buying a seat of SolidWORKS 2017.
  2. Basically, in WGs attempt to make some new tanks do something that they are not really supposed to be doing anyways, they completely change many other tanks without consideration to the balance of them. Thin angled armor gets a serious buff, whereas thicker angled armor gets a bit of a nerf with the auto-bounce angle increasing to 72 degrees.
  3. Krunkvagn update: it continues to be broken. Also, the tier 9 is even more broken relative to tier.
  4. It has some things going for it. More HP, better ammunition, faster in practice, but I don't really think that those can offset 50% more gun depression.
  5. Thieving kills like a baus. 2nd battle out with it.
  6. Also, the crew configuration on the Kranvagn matches the Strv m42-57 perfectly, whereas the Strv 103B has a radio operator instead of a gunner. So, suggested crew skills for Strv m42-57 to ease your transition into the Rapevagn: Commander BIA, sixth sense, repair Gunner BIA, snap shot, repair Driver BIA, smooth ride, repair The terrain resistance on the Kranvagn seems rather high, so off road driving would be acceptable as well.
  7. Some numbers for the upcoming Swedish tech tree. Research Cost Strv 103B tier 1 to 10, bare minimum: 769,525xp Kvanvagn tier 1 to 10, bare minimum: 760,635xp Testing Time! Kranvagn first, because we have analogous tanks already in the game. Conclusion: As expected, this is a hill humping fiend. Gun accuracy leave a little to be desired, and the ammo count is a little limited, but who cares, you have a 225mm thick slab of turret armor and 50% more gun depression than the T57 Heavy. Much balance. Screenshots are from my only battle with it on the test server so far. Strv 103B Initial impression: It's sexy looking..... Probably one of the most situational tanks in the game. It has the potential to be a very annoying speed bump on your way to victory, and in the correct situation, can even be a threat. In those situations, just spot it and let arty rain down on its poorly armored roof. Also, this tank will be a favorite target for arty. Top speed in siege mode is 5km, and it takes 2.5 seconds to switch modes. Switching between modes completely disables the tank for the duration of the switch. I can see it being very fun and dangerous to play on maps like Prok, Muro, Karelia, etc, but on most new maps, its horribly handicapped. It took six battles to get a victory. Basically, the Kranvagn in the clear winner if you want to rape people with sexy new Swedish tanks. It is very well rounded with a tough turret, solid gun, and very good flexibility. The Strv 103B has a lot of hype, and seems like a noob trap. In the right hands and it the right situation, it can be dangerous, but I would take the STB-1 over it any day.
  8. No, the model just looks that ugly and out or proportion.
  9. Basically, his mantra is "Don't hate the player, hate the game." One can separate themselves from all guilt with his bullshit mental games. Just because someone else was going to engage in certain activities doesn't mean that it is acceptable for anyone to do so. You know, about 20% of women will be raped at some point in their lives, therefor I should rape one out of every five women I meet. Chances are that they were going to get raped by someone else anyways, so it's all ok, right?
  10. I love that these people feel so self important that they have to record video of themselves giving their poorly or unscripted opinions as if the whole world cares about them.
  11. Boy oh boy, remember all those crazy right-wingers who went out and rioted, beating up black people, setting fires, looting stores, and blocking roads after the 2008 election? No? I don't remember that happening either.
  12. This thing prints more notes than the Federal Reserve......
  13. Well, it could have been a stupid epic win, but I only had 11hp left, so I figured a slightly epic win was better than an epic loss. Gave up a Radley Walters and Pascuccis, but i'll still take the Kolobanovs and Invader.
  14. He can really lay it down, and pulls no punches. I assume you have seen his initial questioning of director Comey already. That is one of my favorites.
  15. Dat VK 45.02 B platoon. I have no excuse for the other 16 HEAT rounds I fired, but I can justify 8 of them. I did fire a couple AP, probably literally a couple.
  16. This is a rare enough occurrence. I have only done this 3 times, so far.
  17. I will say this, though. If Hillary and the the Dems sweep all three branches of government, if I were them, I would quickly develop a severe case of agoraphobia, lest I draw the scorn of Damocles.
  18. I think that there are a very few people that will initiate violence, but those that are inclined to violence will be much more motivated to act. This itself may not be enough to spark civil unrest and mass violence, but I can see several scenarios that could provide the necessary conditions for unrest to occur. Firstly, if these acts of violence occur with enough frequency and or intensity, it will bolster the motivation of some of the more reserved individuals. This may result in a positive feedback loop and escalation until a critical mass is reached. Secondly, there could be an event of an unprecedented nature that severely and negatively impacts the quality of life, or even the continuation of the everyday activities of enough people that they see fit to take action to rectify the cause of their discomfort. Either way, if these is violent demonstrations from the right, I think it will be a level of violence that this country has never seen before.
  19. I think the chances are rather low, primarily because conservative and right wing groups tend to be more civil than unrestful, while low level mass violence tends to come from left wing and progressive groups. However, god help us all if right wingers see fit to actually practice civil unrest on a large scale, because that will most likely end up being a civil war. Rioters tend to usually be impulsive people with no to few other preoccupations or social obligations. If we see right wing / conservative people rioting, that means that participating in social unrest is more important to them than things like there employment status, providing for a family, or maintaining a clean or cleanish criminal record.
  20. That video might be beneficial for the PC development team, as well.
