browse around, a thousand rabbit holes of mods
'the graphics are so damn amazing I feel like im playing a game from 1992!'
then my laptop can run it
turns out a 100x100 minimap/radar readout is all thats needed to beat new planes with OTH weaponry, forget 4k lol
probably yes, the minimum requirements are... minimal
@void loop ( ) yea its pretty old.
best gameplay ever though
1v1 me
a samsung fridge could probably play it at 100fps
lol.
some of the mods stretch it impressively far visually
@Orange_C And yea, any old hulk + modern missile = new plane bye bye.
all the speed and manuverability in the world isn't going to let you escape a missile
except a 1940's missile, those give you a sporting chance lol
lol
What about an SR-72?
1940's missile you just go 'here boy!' and throw a tennis ball outta the cockpit for it.
step above a guy in a sopwith camel lighting dynamite and bottle rockets with his cigarette
The SR-72 was faster than some missiles during its time and could easily out maneuverer them
'out maneuver them' lol
It would go too high for most to reach
crazy engineers, outrunning rockets with jets
theres no maneuvering at mach 6
turning radius of a small nation
akbar: Basically, it never got within range of the missiles.
But many missiles were fired at it
If someone was stupid enough to be loitering at 50,000 feet instead and got close enough to fire a short range missile, the SR-72 would be dead.
many long range missiles where fired at it.
cause it wasent stupid enough to go near anything with short range missiles :P]
also in general shittier missiles back then
tbh i would like to see a mig 23 given something short-med range, carte blanche to ruin the engines, and an sr71 to chase
just to see how ultimately close it could be
4000 missiles in total and all missed
for a few minutes at mach >2.3 until the mig starts eating metal
There were some short range missiles fired from fighters too and they missed
its an enemy plane over their territory theyre not gonna not fire at it regardless
better to waste $10 mil in missiles than seem like you have a weak response
war logic, yo
But Russia didn’t fire any missiles iirc at the start
Just monitored it
probably with a 'what in the actual fuck' look at the radar
Later they had to scramble fighters in the location where they guessed the sr71 would go
And these fighters had to climb to their maximum height and pitch up to the point where they would begin stalling to launch a short range missile
@Orange_C lol.. "ICBM?"
"well its not decending?"
"its.. turning around sir?"
"Appears to be going home now.."
"Weird, ICBM usually don't do that..."
It’s also having a tour over all our private military facilities
bloody tourists
im suprised they didn't install a flash bulb while they where at it.
how far we've come with surveillance https://www.space.com/16000-spy-satellites-space-telescopes-nasa.html
more powerful than the hubble, but turned at the earth
and outdated at that
I think the next step is to make an aircraft that looks like a classic ufo
i figure the public is 2-3 decades behind on whats actually flying at the cutting edge
may already be close
Yes I think those UFO discoveries are actually foreign aircraft
one of my old classmates worked at raytheon for a while, electrical engineer
there were sections with higher security where he was warned of instant firing/removal and military investigation if he tried to get in without a tall stack of paperwork and clearance, classified projects of varying degrees
and testing situations where they had anyone below a certain security clearance leave the building wing entirely for a bit
am mildly jelly of that kind of work, at least the pile of skilled people handed a wild budget and told to design and build something that either doesnt exist yet, or only has only existed in a lab momentarily at best
Yea that'd be a fun aspect of the job
doing so under military supervision for military purposes, a bit less cool

way ahead of you, as recently as 2008

hahah nice.
"Its not a model.. GET IN!"
also starting from the surface is lame is shit
what it should do, is submerse to like 100m
then do an emergency climb and breach and VTOL outta the water
totally worth it for the shock and awe factor
may as well use bouyancy to your advantage, even a 45 degree rocket-assisted breach is still pretty cool
exactly
HEy guys! my battery pack died recently. Here's some context:
My battery pack is a cheapo chinese pack that only cost me ~$220 when i bought it. It was advertised as a 13s 7p battery pack, with 2200mah cells for a total of 48v 15ah. and a 30 amp rated BMS. When i bought it mid 2019, i thought, yeah, that sounds about right. A low density battery pack coming straight from china, makes sense that it's cheap.
Well... after the BMS died last weekend, my dad opened the battery ( WITHOUT ASKING ME FIRST üò† ) and took some photos. I will send them now
Do you see the problem here?
This is a 12ah pack LMAOOO
13s 6p with 2000mah cells AND it's only 25 amps!
**AS AN ADVISORY FOR ANYBODY THINKING ABOUT BUYING A CHEAP CHINA BATTERY PACK: DON'T DO IT!** Not only are you likely to get a battery pack that is **not actually as advertised** to the on-paper specs, but ALSO, you are exposing yourself to a **fire hazard** because these kinds of battery packs like to go *unit pack kapow*er sometimes!
As a side note: i am happy to say that my ebike is more efficient than i thought it was. üòÇ
oh boy

in my defense i bought the battery pack a year and a half ago
i know better now :)
you better
that should be a role or something
for when we get someone like that *stickes the "Got UPP'd" role on rossman*
lol.
Im half tempted to do that... üòõ
a role you can grab if you got cheated on cheap batteries üòõ
