Are you sure it’s for simulators and not actual ag gear? They have some pretty amazing control systems on big ag units these days. GPS allows far less overlap on each pass of a tractor, especially with spray units that don’t leave telltale signs where they’ve been. Fully self driving...

Isn’t modularity supposed to be a thing next patch? I’m sure it’s “soon”.

Gotta wonder who’d want to be this sort of target. It’s cool and all, but who would want to offer themself this kind of target? https://www.facebook.com/share/p/HoFapqmzr2psQCq7/?mibextid=K8Wfd2

“Due to the high rate of engine failures, Jimmy Doolittle, then commander of the 8th Air Force, decided to pull the P-38 out of Europe. After P-51 Mustangs replaced the Lightning, the kill ratio went from 1.5: 1 to 7:1.“ Doesn’t mean the P38 was a lesser fighter but certainly Jimmy Doolittle...

The P38 had a combat radius of 450 miles until the end of the war when 1,100 gallon drop tanks were added. If you’re going to compare fighters keep in mind the difference between deck based and land based. The P38 did really well in the Pacific when the fight was in Southeast Asia where the...

That’s true. Both George Lucas and Chris Robert’s are aware that airborne turrets were ineffective in WWII. The only useful defense for Bombers from fighters was other fighters. Turrets virtually never shot down fighters. Even the super advanced remote turrets of the B29 (the most expensive...

If we’re comparing all the missile platforms, best is note speed and signature. If you’re only attacking a couple targets, the Sabre is the obvious choice because of its advanced stealth. It was made to do what you’re describing and it’s better at it than say, the Gladius because of its stealth...

Happy Thanksgiving!

So what I was told is the AA has 32 S1 tubes and 8 S2 tubes, with a magazine that permits 1 reload. Then I saw this vid: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/NGgxdsTqwAYb6nec/?mibextid=HSR2mg So my first thought is, given the very short distances of engagement in terrestrial battles, such an...

Since there is an inventory you can store weapons in, the lack of gun racks in virtually all ships is not much an issue. However, in a universe where gunfights are common and gun use universal, I do believe we all ought to experience the visuals of handy railgun storage, selection of carbines...

The 315P had oversized tanks originally but I think they shrank a year or so ago. That should get restored as it was a major selling point of the ship. Oh, Austin is not Texas. It’s a colony of San Francisco. There is no barbecue and they have avocado toast.

Yes, the Jav is supposed to have S12 torps. Odds are good they do more damage than any other weapon in game. I was just wondering about guns because one thinks more of trading shots with an opponent. I’m curious how a Jav would fare against three Idris. Torps can be shot down. They’re quite...

I do not understand how it is that game designers always utterly fail to put adequate firearm storage in the game. Even in a showy ship where these conveniences are the point, the gun rack holds two weapons. WTF?! I think the whole bloody design team needs a field trip to Texas. “Hey...

Thank you for supporting The Addiction. Does anyone know the ranges of the S7 and S10 weapons? IIUC, the Javelin does not include S10 weapons so if the range of the various Idris guns is significantly better, this is an argument for the Idris.

I personally prefer the Enemy Below submarine gameplay the torp boats are meant to emulate (hint “Polaris”), but I do think the Idris is going to offer more choices over the long haul, and be able to take on more powerful opponents. I see huge value in starting with the smallest group you can...

IIUC, Avenger’s original objection still obtains. The Archimedies has a much smaller hit box. The Fury has much better sight picture, but the biggest advantage of the Fury is its tiny size. If you’ll note in Avenger’s original analysis, he doesn’t mention this at all. Morph noted the extra time...

CIG has said you’ll be able to take your P to the manufacturer shipyards and have it modified in part or whole into an M. Also you can add the K laser to either. The rail gun was originally slated to do 40k damage 18x/minute. The K laser does less but is faster. The Vanduul S10 plasma weapon...
