tbf it can be hard to judge accents for foreign languages. For instance, the Finnish VAs for Shrek sound completely wrong if you're used to the English VAs -- most Finns like Donkey's voice acting even though it sounds dumb to English speakers

Although I think you should know better than to use Indian voices after all the scam calls they're known for.

RedEffect is one of the better channels but he doesn't usually draw conclusions and it annoys me.
>>558794276
Civ Div is pretty clearly shell-shocked by his time fighting with the Kurds and with Ukraine. It's not easy to integrate back into society if you fought in asymmetric wars on the less-fortunate side, him being slightly eccentric is understandable. The fact is that no other military commentary channel has as much experience as him.

What I'm saying is that RedEffect focuses on microscopic details like a tank not having a specific thermal sight for its commander instead of the bigger picture. Often times, a tank or a jet fighter deserves to be called "dogshit" and RedEffect won't do that.

>>558784747
doubt that's a pajeet but it still seems really amateurish
why not a nice cinematic animating the cyberstan invasion (or any other big battle like malevelon, SE defense, etc)? It would hype the community up a lot more than some semi-cringy dev larp video.
Helldivers made them a lot of money, so it's not like they dont have money for cinematics.
I genuinely believe modern game devs are incompetent at understanding what their players want. See DICE (who happen to be sneedish too), they hit a fucking goldmine with BF6 getting as viral as it did and completely raped CoD with their "return to tradition" on release. What did they do? complete radio silence for the first few months, no news or patches whatsoever, only adding goyslop niggerly skins, dogshit netcode, consolenigger handholding (you are basically at a disadvantage as a PC player since console aim assist is almost auto aim, and consoleniggers can disable crossplay but PC players cant) and ignoring player feedback altogether until like a month ago.
Not even going to mention the absolute shitfest that PoE2 was
People love shitting on Gaijin but when's the last time you saw other devs run devservers weeks before patches?

Books, articles, public manufacturer brochures, military archives, discussions in forums. The same place where whatever 16 year old that made the video got the stuff from too.
To be fair, there's some more authorative people out there that sort of proved that they're not just half assing it or worse, pushing an agenda. But that's usually on historical stuff, not contemporary developements. And even there it's few and far between.

I literally said it's mostly entertainment.

It's not comparable at all to people that cover everything from small arms to fighter jet radars without having a background in anything.

don't the Malyutkas have like 4 km range? The garbage missiles on the Swedish Huey have 2 km range, you're in danger to be killed by commander MGs at that point. Also they travel almost as atrociously slow as the ones of the Type 60 ATM. The Mi-4/8 work reasonably well at their BR.

Contrast can/will lose lock if the background the missile sees switches from sky to ground. So if you can get an IR lock when it is likely that will happen that's better. Don't know if the Strela can get flared, but I don't think so.

>porky airacobra on sale and finnish air force? day on 6th of march
>hungarian revolution day on 14th of march and m728 FOMO sale on the same day
>RAF birthday, italian air force day and zero first flight anniversary around the same time towards the end of march - i think like 27th or so
and then mostly nothing until the may sale
you're mostly shit out of luck
there's obviously a chance of a wildcard like one of them

ty90s are better than iglas for sure. if they can make it talk to cm-502kgs also, that would be great (for the average player). this is still a render though.
Ka-52K can carry hideously huge anti ship missiles. even one that's half its size. assuming they purchased the latest version, it does have ldircm equivalent jammers and the aesa radar, along with great optics. I'm already considering buying some chinese prem heli and researching their heli tree, but it may take a while for gaijin to give it to us in game.
one more thing: gaijin can do a nigger move and give chinks the version with only 4 hardpoints.
Obviously it will come with vikhrs. It could also come with LMURS, because nowadays Ka-52E is very close to Ka-52K. There is no question about its BR, it will be like 13.0 or higher, so probably I'll still fly the mass produced version in the USSR tech tree sometimes, since 12.0 has less f&f spam. Gaijin could also add Ka-52M to Russia in order to prevent a chimpout. I still think if chinks succeed at connecting ty90s to a triple hardpoint ver. of Ka-52K, it will be the best helicopter in game.

I had a dream where I had to drive some american GIs to the charles de gaul airport in my volkswagen polo because I muttered "nellis air force base nice nice" near some american soldiers
I'm not french and I have never been to france, and I don't have a drivers license.
should I give the french tree a try? I've mostly played US, German and British tanks/planes.

>>558832939
Most of the hits on them are by stuff that's either using imaging seekers (Martlet) or some form of SACLOS like LBR (RBS-70, HVM). Obviously doesn't say much about how well the DIRCM is working, though, that's probably just due to what is getting fired at them.
I can't find it right now, but there was some footage of some form of MANPADS barely missing an Mi-8 after the LDIRCM turret trained on the missile. I assume the "going wide into infinity" is not a realistic failure mode for heatseekers jammed by LDIRCM. I'd imagine the missiles would go straight for the jamming source and then maybe not be able to retain directional lock once they're extremely close.

you know exactly why: the tech was never real.
the research and development funds were embezzled and the results were faked.
then whatever "units" were ordered got embezzled some more and nothing was delivered.

>Japan wants to build fully domestic fighter
>US MIC lobbying kills the program
>Try to force Japan to buy off the shelf product
>Japan refuses and does a bunch of inhouse designing
>In response the US refuses tech transfers previously promised like the F-16 FBW software
>Japan just makes their own software that is better
>In the end the F-2 is better than the F-16 until the block 70 arrived almost 2 decades later
The marvel of the F-2 is how it turned into a really decent product when Lockheeb was an antagonist in what was supposed to be a joint program. Basically all the shortcomings and cost overruns were on the US side of things and they actively made the FSX worse. The US did the same shit with the Lavi along with the UK and German aerospace sector resulting in the Lavi being canned and sold to the chinks as revenge and the UK/German aerospace sector only surviving in massive multinational programs like the EFT. Ask literally any nip shill and they will tell you that they would have much rather had Japan do FSX alone and build their domestic design. Lockheeb will always be gay as fuck between the F-104 scandal killing the Super Tiger and ruining every other countries aerospace program, but the F-2 can be appreciated for what it accomplished. At the end of the day the Japanese FSX program was just a funnel to get access to Japanese radar and composite tech for US companies and they didn't give a fuck if Japan had a functional fighter yet Japan persisted.

People like to feel smart without having any experience with a subject. They don't want to do their own research or even go to a gun range. They don't want to have troublesome opinions that could get them questioned by a knowledgeable person. They want to be reassured that they are correct and that the world is black and white. One side is bad, the other is the hero and they are part of the heroes side. They want to connect their sexuality to being on the good and most powerful side because all they are is meat puppets that feel comfort from self destructive sexual exploration. Something like that anyway, I'm not a doctor.

>The pilot of the Mi-24 behaved aggressively against a West German border guards (Bundesgrenzschutz) helicopter patrolling along the border. After the latter reported the incident, a Huey Cobra from the 4th Squadron, 11th Armoured Cavalry Regiment (4/11 ACR) based in Sickels (Fulda Army Airfield) was sent to the rescue. There followed a series of bold maneuvers on both sides that led ultimately to the Mi-24 crash: the main rotor of the latter finally hit and cut the tail boom with the ultimate consequences that can be imagined. The Mi-24 crashed one hundred meters from the border near the village of Hohengandern and was completely destroyed by fire, leaving no chance for the three crew members.
Lol.

Translated,
>Around 1:30 p.m., the Americans pulled their helicopter steeply upwards near Witzenhausen and turned away.
>Soon afterward, the Soviet pilot pulled his attack helicopter just as steeply into the sky as he had just seen the Americans do. West German farmers in the fields west of the East German border villages of Hohengandern and Bornhagen watched as the tail of the Soviet attack helicopter broke off and crashed to the ground. The "07" began to spin. A few seconds later, it crashed into the middle of the East German border fortifications between the metal mesh fence and the security perimeter fence.

by the looks of it you have purchased two full meals and a cup of mixed korean-crapanese noddles
the black box is a self heating meal that contains springy noodles, basedbeans, lotus root, some dehydrated vegetables, tofu, sausage and a boiled egg? you just need to add water. i personally used to live off these when i was in college because i had no microwave
the purple bag contains fried tofu, peanuts, bamboo shoots, green beans and green onion. you need to heat water to make this one
as a personal recommendation you should try the ones that contain snail soup or better yet, actual snails

The contradictory political ideologies in America parallel America's erratic military doctrine as seen in War Thunder vehicles like the B-29 and B-17, which attempted to make heavily-armed "flying fortresses" despite the inherent difficulty in shooting defensive guns from a moving airplane -- ending in abject failure with only 25 German planes downed by B-17s in all of 1943 (almost all of whom were rookies) and eventually leading "Bomber" Curtis LeMay to strip all defensive guns from the B-29 due to their uselessness.
