Less airpower but theres this place i wanted to go but never got the chance: https://www.heartlandmuseum.com/ Has a bunch of land vehicles and choppers and apparently a bunch of tanks that post ww2 were refitted to be tractors when they were brought back to the US because production hadn't shifted back yet in 46/47

Yeah i was working a project out there and when i finished it was raining and didnt go because its all open air and poo poo. Should have gone anyway. The only reason i found out was i drove past like 20 times getting to different survey areas and went "the gently caress is with all these choppers parked on the side of the interstate" and did some digging.

Most ships in current navies are 30+ years old so were built for height of the coldwar staffing. As the military slowly draws down it leads to manning issues. That why the freedom/independence automation was such a huge deal

He puts forth factually incorrect info as gospel at times and is just awful to listen to. He also doesnt like people not knowing who he is. Xthetenthx (i think) went to a wargaming event where he was and in the middle of talking to another guy chumptain walks up and goes do you know who I am, Im the chieftain. People who watch his vids sometimes go nuts listening to him in the wg games discord

How often do nations award medals to foreign servicemen? Because this dude https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sylvester_R._Foley_Jr. got medals from France, Japan, the S. Vietnam govt before they fell, RoK, and RoC Edit: I know it happens from time to time but to have medals from that many nations is odd right?

The joe buff? novels about dogfighting attack subs slinging tac nuke torps at each other had some blue/green lidar being used from P3s and poo poo like that to detect subs hundreds of meters deep. People pull that poo poo all the time with whatever the newest thing discovered is being a tech miracle. Hell the john carter books were full of radium bullets being explosive when exposed to light able to make pinpoint shots dozens of miles away from a shoulder rifle

Im sure if youre bombing with literal tons of lead and sand with fixed wing aircraft its going to get dispersed as gently caress and also what if you miss and smack it into a new area and make everything worse somehow?

Watercooled MGs were at their best when armies were one upping each other by having a new bolt action rifle that held FOUR rounds before having to shove in a new clip instead of THREE like their rival nation had. Quick change barrels and noone ever wanting to get into the type of fight where an MG can sit in an emplacement and belt out 20k rounds at a time at people peaking their heads above a trenchline ever again. Tanks and armored vehicles became usable enough that a static 80 pound mg is just a target to get run over. 30 and 50 cal antitank rounds werent a threat to their armor anymore let alone an MG chambered in you normal rifle round. Aircraft advanced enough that they werent more dangerous to their pilots than they were to the enemy and carried more bombs with larger payloads and carried MGs of their own that they could strafe an mg emplacement with. You still saw them used with the atlantic wall crazy fortifications with 10 foot thick reiforced concrete ceilings meant to hold back a landing force but everywhere else you needed to be able to move the things quickly. In short the rest of warfare caught up.

From what i remember reading its 2 seperate engines with some weird goofy linked gearbox thing so either engine can power both props. No idea on them being synced.

You could use whatever seeker heads are in mavericks and hellfires to have it track a target with fins that it only deploys when its in the target area as a quick idea off the top of my head. I dont know if those can independently pick targets or not but its an option. It wouldnt be great but im assuming if youre using a 1600km range rocket assisted artillery shell its because you couldn't get a platform to deploy tomahawks safely so you would go with what you can make fit in the shell and would improve you chances of whatever youre aiming at. It would also depend on what youre trying to hit. Youre not going to try and hit individual tanks from 1600 km out I would imagine, but if youre launching at a ship a radar seeker would probably be an easy and effective option.

If you get hit with the end of it that snapped yeah youre gonna have a real bad day. If you get smacked by the end that didnt snap it wont have nearly the velocity so it's survivable. I wouldnt want to get hit by either option personally
