Yeah it’s looking to be another week of getting no sleep from the heat.

Although not as bad as last heatwave but this time I’m having to work outside on Saturday so I’m going to burn to a crisp.

i personally enjoy paper vehicles, but not in a game like WT. Its really hard to balance them and make them realistic. Prototypes (including unfinished ones) are super cool and valid though.

“balancing” and “paper vehicles/weapons” in the same sentence (i’m looking at you KH38MT)

ps i saw this thing at duxford :D along with other american muscle cars a mig17 and a typhoon disllay

They should change the “add on armor” modification on the M4A3 76 W to that of the field expedient jumbo as seen on thunderbolt VII

How is this not classified as magic?

Like; we take rocks, melt them down to thin sheets, then exploding miniscule droplets of tin which turns the droplets into miniature suns whose light is used to burn sigils into the sheets. If we then put the correct amount of lightning into the sigil inscribed rocks we can make them think for us.

We are actually at a point where they are having issues with electrons quantum tunneling over to neighboring traces causing signals in unintended places and current leakage. They quite literally have to design firmware around the fact that this happens and instructions needing to be checked for faults and corrected before they are performed. It’s bonkers.

One would think that’s indicative that we’ve gone far enough until we have more elegant ways to design these systems, but I’m not a hardware creature. Might be that firmware catches are the better approach, as long as I’m not paid to write it I’m flex.

Next time I’m in Latvia I would like to see the museum.

Also reminds me of the utter pain it is trying find any information on the Viesturs class.

F-16 (a V probably) crashed landed in zakintho

I’ve seen people say it was a Block 50/52+

It was part of the Hellenic Air Force’s 116th Fighter Wing.

yea most of the 116 has been replaced with Vipers

Oh yeah it could be one then, a shame for them to lose one so new like this.
