Dont worry if you go Colonial youll get to fight in snow eventually xD
What should I chose? I mean how gamechanging this update to a sniper?
oh you use snipers. how cute
Nobody said that to me before 😊
But Yes I'm a sniper at least most of the time
If I'm smart I can eliminate emeny vehicles with a AT gun or at leaft disable Its track and throw granate on it to disarm if Its a tank,
If they calculate that well AT gun has usage on the vehicle weakpoints,
Now that open top vehicles are fragile one granate enough to kill the crew
About Balista take out its engine and Its yours Unless Its crew decide to leave the tank,
About Silverhand well Its big bit immune to mortar fire,
So destroy Its tracks and force the crew to leave the vehicle or die with it
i dont think you can immobilise vehicles with just modular damage
They don't talk about that?
you can slow them down by tracking but you cant straight up immobilise
also the engine only causes fuel leaks
which i guess is a way to stop a tank
This. Much more soft and kind than I think might change in the future,
🤔 If you slow it down you may be able to gas the crew out before they manage to retreate
if there was a way to instantly cripple a tank that didnt require to damage them with a powerful weapon, tanks would become completely useless
If I retrieve my own bmats from refinery as crates, can I give them to someone else who is NOT in my squad and have THEM store it in their depot squad storage?
if there was a way to instantly cripple a tank that didnt require to damage them with a powerful weapon tanks would become completely useless
@maiden fern
20:1 soldier comes alive that,
Its really hard and takes a good thinking, and agility,
Its works for me in HLL, PS and Enlisted, because enlisted use WT physics!
Tanks are not because useless if they become realistic,
so you're saying that using a mortar on the engine block requires effort
mortar ain't accurate enough for anything more than a lucky hit
in real life anyway
mortar in foxhole is too accurate
this is foxhole
and even if they were less accurate you could still just get 4 people and insta cripple tanks
Whats a mortal shell penetration?
10mm 9mm 15mm?
Mortal brigs a lot of explosive power not AP shells,
mortars are themselves flawed in game due to how simple the game is
lets hope the arty update will fix that
mortar shell with impact fuse will do little against roof armor
Artillery is different,
But thats might not possibile
tanks have a lot less armor on the roof
Would be cool if you could destroy a tank by landing a mortar shell into commanders hatch. Beacouse i know that happened at least one in ww2
I wanna throw a grenade in there
That might work too
The one time that happened was in the battle of Dukla pass i think. Czechoslovakian brigade in USSR managed to land a shell inside Slovakian LT vz.35. I think it was from the 120mm mortar as well
In WW2 T 34 was also weak against molotov cocktail,
The hungarians knows that too,
imagine purpose building a glass sphere or a anti-tank rifle bullet with teargas or any kind of gas inside of them just to take out a tank, but all of your efforts were wasted because none of the efforts were viable in the first place, being outcompeted by a simple petrol bomb with a glass bottle
That tank burn out and blows up inside out and Its suspension brake under its weight,
i think its more about the burning liquid entering into the engine and fucking it up
Yes
if it actually burnt out the tank you wouldnt still have a turret on that t-34 due to the shells cooking off
Yeah i dont think Molotovs were all that efective. The liquid burns too fast and it burns off the motor only if you get lucky due to FPE and the design of the tank
not to mention you had to be in throwing range
Not all time but here you go @maiden fern
something which AT grenades were better at
eh molotovs work sometimes, but landmines work wonders
just a shitload of explosives can do the trick
leave it on the T-34 engine grill and blow it up
The early Pz IVs were pretty well protected against Petrol bombs. The Engine hatches didnt had any holes in them all air intakes were from the sieds
@karmic ether i refuse to believe simple burning gas can melt fucking armour steel
eh molotovs work sometimes, but landmines work wonders
Japanese liked to wreck Shermans with Stachel charges
How bout Lunge mines?
Thats the one
no it' was technically shaped charge but it used existing fuses or something
something like a hand grenade fuse
@chrome flower alcohols Isn't Petrol, Its burn out slowly,
In some bars high alcohol drunk use to be served while the liquid burning, it has a beautiful blue fire
so you'd have to strike it with a hard object and then pull the pin
and hold it against the tank for a few seconds
alcohol doesnt produce nearly the same heat as petrol
Yeah i know. Youd still have to be really lucky to take out any tank
@maiden fern Where you lean that? The still don't melt under fire just heated up or bend,
taking out tanks is one thing
@karmic ether
Mighty soviet Is 3 but where Its turret?
@karmic ether
IS-3
is that from postwar hungary or something
and just so you know drinking alcohol has a pretty low percentage of ethanol in it so it burns a lot less
@maiden fern Yes the still bend under the HEAT but not melt down,
Molotov not make a tanks into asteaming hot podle of liquid steal, 💙
@cursive solar 1956
unless hungarian resistance members had a way to separate pure ethanol from their vodka
I figured
@maiden fern Pälinka stronger then Vodka
postwar soviet city training for tankers was probably minimal
And the huns have a lot of them
again this is just an open fire burning on the surface of a tank, if you think that's enough to even soften steel then you underestimate tank armour
yes it could heat up inside the tank to uncomfortable levels but it wouldnt make the tank into play doe
The best it can do is overheat the engine
Youd had to get REALLY lucky wit that fuel
80% Pälinka the normal around 40-50%
I would feel that! 💙
if the tanks were diesel engines maybe they'd start a runaway and THAT would be bad for the crew https://youtu.be/zh9lU3zihvU

Look at that back almost totally flat. That lowers the chance for the fuel to get inside
Sadly we don't have a vehicle in Foxhole that based on Panzer serie😔
good, don't want 15-ton crane operator/mechanic game every time command delays parts shipments for a upcoming offensive on a nearby front
To be fair Pz IV and down were pretty reliable
yeah
i dont get why people focus so much on german prototypes when all countries had stupid ideas
Ehm. They have a certain charm to them...
when german army high command notes poland as a strategic faiure
Ah yes, Making devbranch earlier for "streamers" that have one viewer, and then delaying it Two fucking times cz its "not ready sorry uwu" they dont even care anymore, i mean what do we expect from people who fucking ban for a lemon joke
How would a Panzer series based tank serie fit inside Foxhole and how does it looked like?
Good qestion
it would have proprietary materials to fix it's system
Well for one it probably would be a blend of things and not just one thing
i mean warden vehicles have a bit of german to them so i wouldnt think it's out of the question to have a panzer looking one
ClapfootLoveLemons#5030 was muted | low effort troll
Well that was easy
ez clap
i really wouldnt be against going away from the stupid round designs
Okey I search for panzers 💙
Do y'all think it's a little hard to differentiate between the warden vics because of that, or nah?
i think devs take the "distinctive aspects" too seriously
warden tanks have more in common with british design philosophies of prototyping and improving designs over many cycles
notably the many mks
So we would have...
PzI (Light tank designed against infantry)
PzII (Light AT tank with autocannon)
PzIII (A proper medium AT)
PzIV (A heavy tank for infantry support)
StuG III (A Self proppeled gun for infantry support)
i hate that all warden vehicles have to be super round and all colonial vehicles have to be super angular. all countries had variations and so should foxhole vehicles
And the ostwind!!
why ostwind
and my axe!
Cause it's a good tank
it's an SPAA
why not go wirbel for the hell of it
i hate that all warden vehicles have to be super round and all colonial vehicles have to be super angular. all countries had variations and so should foxhole vehicles
Yeah FCM36 and Hotchkiss 35
And I found! This will be the Panzer II base in Foxhole Its a Blueprint vehicle the prototype of the panzer II prototype
Good against infantry, planes and even light vehicles
that's the vk 3601, the predecessor to the Tiger
until it gets shot by either one of them in actual real life scenarios @gaunt geyser
But if we were to go by Wardens round...
Look at this dood
what is that
Char Peugeot
that looks awsome and terrible against infantry at the same time
From 1918
too french
Must be a hell to manufacture
I prefer le cône
Cone was a managable tank
the turret looks like it's made from several pieces so i dont think it's too hard @gaunt geyser
Eh yeah
You mean my boy FCM36?
le cône
But that firing angle tho
@gaunt geyser Casting
And you only need a shape form to cast out the body of the tank
FCM36 was well armoured. but the gun... Why did the French manufactured so many SA18s
Well we had surplus from ww1
Yeah i know
they used WW1 surplus for magino because the civillians that worked army spending just did that
I still love French interwar tanks
i hate all french tanks
oy no
they all have a distinctive flaw that makes them terrible
French tanks are okay
They have their reasons why they have those flaws
how do i join devbranch server?
They are still better than the Bob semple
AMX-13 is 👌
@sharp surge no devbranch yet
Thats not interwar tho
French modern tanks are pretty cool
FXM 36 would fit inside foxhole for the Warden but with some changes,
It will have a bigger gun and get the Warden LT tracks

the correct answer is no radios
using flags
them there's the soviet tanks with all of them sporting a autoloader
So french tank flaws:
Bad guns - WW1 Surplus small military budget
Two man designs - Small male population after WW2
Sure theres many more
no i mean they all have at least one flaw that makes the bad. its like french always focus on one part of the tank and say fuck it with the rest
Guns weren't too bad for the time tbh.
Dimitri help, my hand is stuck in the autoloader
The ergonomics were shit on the B1, but other than that it was manageable.
Whirr
AAAAAA
The biggest flaw is just not having radios. Would've overcome so much.
it didnt have mobility. thats not good in modern WW2 tank combat @atomic meteor
Are the French the only ones to use wheeled tanks?
If we have a Warden Super heavy tanks pipeline 💙
It seems like it
There was no "modern tank combat" in 1939.
yes they were ok in defence but imagine the french attacking with b1 tanks
ah yes, permanent trackage
im saying "modern" in the way that its not just slow ass moving pieces of metal on no mans land @atomic meteor
There kinda was a modern tank combat in 1939
division org down to 0
In the few panzerdivisions
yes they were ok in defence but imagine the french attacking with b1 tanks
Battle of Stonne?
too many people think about tanks in WW2 like they're MBTs of today
Ye
If they simply had radios, things would have gone much worse for the Germans. That's not to touch on the serious flawsnin the fresh high command though . . . .
What was the ratio? 13 destroyed German tanks no B1bis lost?
the french command structure was dated in the first place
B1s were only part of their tank arm. The H35s were ok.
Our high command was bad several times in history
generals got bamboozled hard
Would FCM 1A would fit into the game to the wardens? As the Silverhand updrated version
Long boi
It's like a curse that sticks with the French republic
@atomic meteor radios werent the only flaw, like i said germans could just produce more panzers and flank the slow moving b1's
"dated" doesn't even begin to cover it. It's honestly disastrous. English were pretty shit at the time too, but they got over it.
the british equipment was just good enough to curbstomp colonial subjects
Like, you want to grab the bastards by the shoulders and shake them, screaming DONT YOU REALIZE YOURE FIGHTING A WAR???
the labor governments didn't allow expansion
if germans had more artillery and more dive bombers i bet b1's wouldnt even have been remembered
French had more tanks that the Germans though 
They had less men tho
the french were actually pretty good on motorization after ww1
germans
having planes
It wasn't that the Germans outnumbered their tanks, it's that they concentrated them and used local superiority and maneuverability (thanks to working radios) that won the blitz.
While the massive invasion of the Benelux countries and France was going down last week, things were also developing on the fronts in Norway and China. But this week, the German beast is let loose. After breaking through its cage at Sedan last week, nothing seems strong enough...
And our tanks lacked mobility and support
the absolute STATE of allied air superiority by 1944
@atomic meteor yes but we're talking about b1's here. panzers didnt have problems killing the less armoured slow ass weak cannoned smaller french tanks
Support wasn't even a word in their tactics handbooks lol
when you overdo air superiority that friendly fire was the bigger issue than the luftwaffe
Luftwaffe got really just in the battle of France tho
Considering the vast majority of the tanks the Germans used were fucking PZ1s, I don't think inferior french tanks were the problem.
Like half of their planes
Good Hell to these french I mean Warden engineers
COULD AMX 30 fit into foxhole Its a Idk
le quack
They had better doctrines and no allies that spoke another language
Why does every French tank looks like a Duck?!!?
i blame the history channel for this argument
That's a safe bet @frozen elk
And no corrupt commanders
honestly fuck the history channel, they're the entire reason you get so much fucking "but what if"ism about the germans in WW2, and also why we have so many fucking wehraboos
That's what happens when a public channel sells out 
that and they dissed the sherman and i like the sherman but that's a personal vendetta
Damn, high command is still hated by French soldiers today
im pretty sure all armies hate their superiors
@gaunt geyser how's the adoption of hk416 going for ya
To be fair, much if the wheraboo ammo is kinda the US's fault
oh definitely
@cursive solar I don't like it
For a relic van? Totaly useless but fun and Its a bigger inventory fast and has a 6 seating in it,
We had a better option
They took in former German commanders and had them write about Soviet doctrine, and in the absence of Soviet voices, it gave a "superior" depiction of the German army VS the "human wave" red army.
The French weapons used by the Australian army
hey, you're in a better position than only having 2 weeks worth of ammo for wartime expenditure
JSDF moment
Oof
We still have Dassault stuff tho
yeah, i've talked to plenty of russians and just in general people who know plenty of stuff about the russian military doctrine back then and it's so misrepresented
operation paperclip was a mistake
russian soldier has clip of mosin tokarev ammo in uraah charge burying enemy with bodies for the motherland
Would a relic van has place in the game?
but muh enemies at the gate
MuH ENEmies at the GaeTT
the MAS-36 is honestly one of my favorite (if not my complete favorite) bolt action rifles
of course the red army only gave some soldiers ammo without weapons, isnt that how an army works
@cursive solar And get headshot by Simo Häyhä 💙
MAS-36 worked, but it's very sad that despite the RSC existing, they couldn't adopt a selfloading rifle
oh totally
they worked on it during 1914
the MAS-36 is honestly one of my favorite (if not my complete favorite) bolt action rifles
I love it just for this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DA3VsMteAxk
Haven't ordered a copy of Chassepot to FAMAS yet? You can place your order right now:
https://www.headstamppublishing.com/french-rifle-book
Soldiers will be soldiers...give them something that can be screwed up, and they will screw it up.
lmao nice
if the great war was later, the french would have been legendary
i actually quite like french guns, they're interesting
and not a consistient clusterfuck
About weapons What type of weapons you would love?
french guns are good, not just interesting
ye
I will defend the chauchat to the grave
I mean Austro-Hungary also worked on Semiauto rifles even before WW1
they are extremely underrepresented
Eh. Much of the French "getting good" was necessitated by experiencing the wars firsthand. A few more years of peacetime wouldn't've made a big difference.
http://www.patreon.com/ForgottenWeapons
Cool Forgotten Weapons merch! http://shop.bbtv.com/collections/forgotten-weapons
In 1909, the Austro-Hungarian Empire announced a desire to find a new semiautomatic military rifle, and requested proposals from arms manufacturers. Six r...
These things
my thing about the chauchat is that it was an excellent gun, just not for the conditions of the war i'd say
the french do many revolutionary things, just at the wrong time
They work kinda like Gewehr 42
poudre b moment
For the conditions of the French Army in 1916, it was the gun for the job.
another thing about the chauchat was that it was really thin, which made it somewhat awkward too iirc
An LMG that can be manufactured in a bicycle factory, for goodness sake.
the chauchat having a bad rep is literally only because of the american versions having wrong or bad ammo and thus being extremely unreliable
Pierre, the fucking magazine lip
French army was ruined by bureaucracy, and the modern military thinkers like de Gaulle had no power to make a better army
Fix it
absolutely PISSED about the fact that the US didn't adopt the lewis gun or the lewis assault phase rifle
It was also a straight janky gun, but that's the point so.
So the Warden Assault rifle will have parts from French German and Ausztro-Hungarian weapons???
Faction based weapons would be nice maybe next update
definitely not anytime soon
the lewis was objectively better but the expeditionary force used the chauchat for some reason
36,000 of them worth much in taxpayer revenue wasted
Because they were equipped by the french
relegated to the airforce
Probably an issue of availability
I'll bet they were able to manufacture way more chauchats than Lewis guns
And the chauchat was working with the French caliber
then there's the belgians who get curbstomped and forgotten
to me, the lewis gun not being adopted along with UCP, the M14, and the forward assist on the AR15 are just examples of how fucked the US army is
staying neutral will work right guys?
Shouldn't've pussied out of the Maginot extension 
@cursive solar they gotta defend their forts goddamit
I really like the idea Foxhole modellers take more guns and make one unique gun out of 4 real life guns 💙
Same with vehicles
@cursive solar
sweden
yes
Bruh the forward assist is barely the same caliber as that other shit, much less the adoption of the M16 at all lol
At least the forward assist did what it was supposed to
the army has a fucking historical record of making stupid decisions because they don't fucking understand shit
that and beauracracy
the US army can drown the enemy in fire support at the end of the day
french generals circa 1940: mmm big trees
when one american steel mill in detroit produce more steel than the entire axis powers
bruh you think thats bad imagine being issued the L85 and it literally falling apart in your hands @frozen elk
UCP has statistically shown to have increased casualties in all wars it was used in
Who wouldnt like big trees?
It's because what they want isn't possible, so they run out of time and money and their temporary solution hacked in solution becomes the defacto standard for the next 50 years.
The strength of the US army was that they couldn't follow orders properly
And carpet bombing
bruh you think thats bad imagine being issued the L85 and it literally falling apart in your hands @frozen elk
@maiden fern imagine wearing camouflage that may as well be a hi-vis vest
at least your weapon works
UCP is next level shitshow. Absolutely an M16-caliber fuckup.
you know the things you need
i absolutely love the M16 purely because it just fucking works
Camouflage was seen as being weak at the time
ofc they had a bunch of bullshit at first but eventually it balanced out and got better
*M16A1 and onward. Remember the issues the M16 vanilla had.
when all of the univeral weapons programs with germans fails, so you just make your own system
ah yes, the 'self-cleaning' rifle
What was the last piece of armor that the army has actually gotten into production
The jltv?
What kind of armor?
as a platform i'd say the AR15 is arguably the best, purely because of how modifiable it is compared to kalashnikovs as a platform
the MRAP
HK416 GOAT fite me
it's fairly modern
They have started like 15 ground vehicle programs that have all died lol
Kalashnikov is eaiser to use, so better for a conscripts army
kalanishcov was minmaxing production
i love the AR15 too. it has so many possible versions and it was WAY ahead of its time. if only stoner got the stoner gun to work.... @frozen elk
Nahh, the Army's done a few lighter vehicles. Just did a contract for what looks like a stripped down buggy version of the Humvee.
@atomic meteor [laughs in gaelic]
The marines are using the HK416 now
GAS is a collie faction, right?
no
Warden faction then.
You mean the JLTV?
no
The jltv is damn good
Noot
Jltv iirc is the most recent completed order though.
absolutely pissed about 7.62x51mm's adoption as well as the m14
Em-2
the EM-2 and FAL deserved to be the actual fucking right arms of the free world
B-b-b-but, muh Rifleman cult!
Ah, the FAL
bruh the FAL is way too big
FAL absolutely is. Great gun.
The amount of Bradley replacement programs is a meme tho
Yeah still is.
It was good against wooden covered weapons
M14 was an excellent gun for the wrong war
as a design, at least
then you get into the QA issues
automatic m14
Yeah, pinnacle of Garand's system I believe.
and the fact that they tried to make an OICW of it ruined it
remember the multitude of rifle programs designed to improve average accuracy?
"you can't get marksmanship awards with a flechette rifle" -gun jesus
anyone hear about the M15?
literally just a fucking automatic m14 with a bipod and pistol grip
Tbh good thing they didn't go with flechettes anyway.
yeah
Sounds like a thomson but big bollet
Or multi round bs whatever
finnicky ammunition issue is the last thing a grunt wants
The IAR is a cool gun tho
Plus, can you imagine aiming right at a fucker and swearing the flechettes go all around him, but miss?
IAR cool gun
Why using flechettes when you can be more precise with a 22lr?
it devolves into a Q&A of "where'd my tax money go" at some point
Its like the BAR but more modern so it has an i
22lr as a military caliber
Bruh
IAR is arguably just the marines adopting the idea of the RPK
it's the same goddamn idea
the BAR was terrible from the start
22rl is cheap and does not make a lot of noise.
the BAR was never good and people need to knows this more
I have a soft spot for the BAR
5.56, in-line recoil for good follow-ups, plus modern optics has tuned out to be the best solution anywhere.
Only good points of the 22lr
Its a damn cool gun
the BAR did what john moses browning intended to do
Not great at anything
which was experimental more than anything
BAR was the best gun ever in WW1, bar none (pun not intended)
But its sexy
By WW2 it was kinda a meme
can we appreciate the M1915 winchester for a moment? clip-fed lever action rifle considered for US army service, competing with the krag-jorgensen rifle, and later bought in large quantities by the russian empire prior to the revolution during ww1 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZDrIs0a-ms
Winchester 1895 Russian Contract made in 1916.
in comparison to the lewis gun as well as the idea of the lewis assault phase rifle which even in prototypes was just better in every way, including ergonomics
its too heavy for an lmg, not enough rounds for an mmg and too large to be a battle rifle. it's fucking stupid @ebon walrus
Yeah yeah yeah
one of my favorite lever actions
@plain mountain nyet, mosin is fine.
But its so damn good looking
1895 rifles are great, i love them
Yes, yes we can appreciate a Winchester lever action in 7.62x54r. yes we can . . .@plain mountain
You're all talking about good designs, but the best design is a twin 12gauge, time has shown it 😉
kek
it looks SO COOL though like holy shit I want one just for cool factor alone
And I mean the doctrine behind it is the idea the marines have with the IAR to an extent
If everyone has a bar you dont need an lmg
God, a Russian Winchester is just so cool. It's gotta be the big daddy of all.lever actions, right? With a round like that.
a fucking clip-fed high caliber lever action feels like a steampunk thing but here we are
De-densifying fire support
BAR way too fucking huge for that, and doesn't share mags. IAR is lightweight and shares mags. Too different for it to work.
chambers 25mm into rifle
yes
@ebon walrus the IAR's more akin to the RPK the soviets used, literally just a rifle that was heavier and was more suited to support, and could use magazines from their squadmates if needed
it's one of the larger lever actions ever made iirc @atomic meteor but I could be wrong
Yes
can we appreciate this rifle first though
Czech gun best gun
i want to hunt rabbits with an elephant gun
perfect lmao
vz. 58 is honestly my favorite soviet rifle
Oh hey wanna see something cool guys?
ZB.26 best LMG
@plain mountain welcome to the cult of czech excellence
Where is my bird hunting flak gun?
NO
^ check it
lmao i love this vid
LOL I know that vid
YES
The BAR only really worked because the US ran M1s
YEEEES
NO dremel
The garand is such a damn good gun
AHH
garand is bae man
garands are sweet shooters
can we appreciate this rifle first though
YES
@atomic meteor as an owner of an M1 carbine that video made my blood run cold
ngl if you get copped out of a garand ping its actually fucking painful
As it should. As it should . . .
And the BAR did provide a higher rate of fire
@atomic meteor actually that skorpion carbine modification looks pretty fucking dope
But 30 round mag
bro the stinger was pog
Do you think god John Moses Browning stays in heaven because he fears what we have created?
every time I see a sporterized and bubba'd arisaka I feel pain
Stinger was the best lmg ever made
stinger best gun
made by a marine with random shit he found
not the stoner 63?
stoner 63 is another favorite of mine
son of browning inspecting his shit gun
Stoner is best gun for 80's special forces uncles with Miami vice music in the background
marine corp:
"just give us the belt fed version, don't need anything else"
Speaking of
love it
Johnson rifles are pretty neat
@atomic meteor bro there's a documentary on youtube about the stoner gun in vietnam war
Grade A alt history material
Yeah the germans did the whole MG thing alot better than the americans
oh dude the johnson rifle was the inspiration i had for this one gun i designed for a mod for RWR
Although slapping M2s on everything also kinda worked
they minmaxed MG more than they needed
Well, they did kinda invet the concept of a universal MG
oh yeah thats true
What about gyrojets for alternative history?
looks like most lever actions are in .45-70 or some variant of a pistol cartridge so it may be that the 1895 winchester is one of the largest caliber lever actions ever made @atomic meteor
Ehh. Kinda poopoo
gyrojet is wack
m2 is such a iconic thing man
imagine a BAR with a drum mag and vaguely federov inspired as well
Niiiice @plain mountain
20 round mag you have to feed with stripper clips
Imagine having an ammunition that costs $100 per unit
The thing that gets me with the BAR is that its a solid gun (i mean it was designed by browning)
gotta be happy with my gewehr for now though until I get monies to indulge in my gun collector habit
And not even precise
Imagine being literally the pinnacle of technology in your niche after 100+ years in service in the largest conflicts known to man, through the age of vacvum tubes, transistors and microchips.
Ive heard its pretty damn reliable
I am so happy we don't use Bullpub MGs in the Finnish deffence forces, I'm left handed and the cartridge casings will hit my face, 😔 NOT funny!
I find it cool that Mauser is still in business building bolt action rifles after all these years
Famas solves the problem
Christ, is anyone here not a disciple of gun Jesus?
I mean I wouldnt mind a redesigned m2 that wasnt a literal steel box
Or forward ejection bullpups
but muh maxim
But yeah the M2 is quite a special weapon
@atomic meteor me
I discovered gun jesus a few months ago and I've never looked back
M2 of course could use a modernization . . . but it just works too damn well for anyone to care.
Bullpup guns are bad, AK gun structures are the best like RK 62 or RK 90 💙
Gun jesus is the way to go
ah yes, the modern iron throne
that's a pretty huge ass
@gaunt geyser fix yourself 
No.

no bullpups allowed
I personally dont really like the look of the AK that much
you can change the main rifle, you can change the LMG, ma deuce is timeless.
I shall be French and watch French channels
also the german military still uses a modern version of the MG-42, if it ain't broke don't fix it 
^
Bullpup man good
MG-3 works
MG-5 tho
MG-3 go brrrrr
Imagine having a longer weapon in urban warfare
@gaunt geyser you do know that Gun Jesus is literally the biggest Francophile on YouTube, right?
Yeah
tbh my hierarchy of top weapons are like
But eh, he is too calm for me
He sticks up for the French more than anyone I know, including the French tbh
And too apolitic
what about those new rifles the US is lookin at doe
A good chair
^ that's how you know he's good
NO, you can't just spray the fulda gap and blunt our mechanized push!1!!
"haha, MG-3 go brr"
AR15 platform styled rifles > vz. 58 > RK62 / RK95 > kalashnikov rifles
FAL>>>all
Anyone see CZ's BRENs recently? To Eyre pretty nice.
AR-18 > all
@frozen elk you're ok
FAL looks dope and hits hard, what more do you want?
I like the FAL
@gaunt geyser less weight
i honestly think galils and RKs are the best kalashnikov variants
the rifle grenade feature on the FAL is very nice
I have a Vz. 98 
sadly rifle grenades are no longer meta for some reason
rifle grenades are chad
@atomic meteor lemme use a black powder revolver real quick
Poomp
boom
@cursive solar just use an underbarrel nade launcher
Bro gotta get the automatic grenade launcher
underbarrel lets you shoot and explode people
but muh less moving parts
Bomb minigun
@frozen elk thats not true, but because they builded on the same AK structures they look similar for the naked eye,
Yeah lemme just carry a gun that checks list
I won't hit as often with,
Weighs more,
And I can't carry as much ammo for,
Compared to any other modern rifle.
I think infantry squads should all get access to at least one gau 8
not to mention rifle grenades can just explode if you load the wrong ammo
Large American ammo man bad
remember when I literally shot a wet blanket to prove someone false when they were trying to "out-science" me
Yes
That was pretty funny
i don't think i was around for that enlighten me
tell us that range story
@plain mountain wait what was the argument
A dude was like "wet blankets can stop bullets"
bruh
What the heck
lets equip our army with wet blankets
Something about density or something, he thought the blanket would like. Catch the bullet or something
maybe some really weak cartridges
Bullets tend to not lose
.22lr
someone was trying to use their "aeroscience" degree background and trying to explain that soldiers in ww1 used wet blankets to stop bullets and was 100% sure of it and trying to egg me on because I disagree, so I literally took my 100 year old rifle and dated ammunition, took a wet blanket, hung it, and shot it. surprise surprise, it pierced right though
22lr would just pierce
Anclet and not-smoothebrains on here were like "that's dumb"
In most situations expect the bullet to win
Yeah @plain mountain kinda went full fucking Chad mode on him
no ww1 soldier would risk having much in the way of getting hit
or getting hit in the first place
Pretty sure he made the guys balls shrink 3 sizes that day.
The concept behind it isnt stupid, just very misguided
wait he thought a full sized rifle cartridge wouldnt go through?!?!?!?
yes
yes
WHAT
Big bren
In engineering
nah, something designed to go over 2000 meters has no way of stopping from a blanket
Hell
Therefore
people trying to argue firearms stuff when they have no actual experience with firearms
He's always right
lmao i have an M1 carbine, i should disprove the korean war shit
That's how we get gyrojets people
the degree is supposed to give you a good estimate, not predict the future
that isnt even engineering, it's literally simple ballistics
Tell that to engineers @cursive solar
you can calculate that shit with high school physics
Not really
Or, you don't calculate it at all
so here's the thing he was trying to argue that it would work by telling us that a large net suspended in the air catches a plane perfectly fine. that was literally the thing he used to argue that the bullet and wet towel would work
And use common fucking sense
A blanket isnt simple physics
nah, my dad still slams people trying to do shit in theory instead of remembering basic thermodynamics
he works in stress testing
Like
@ebon walrus the kinetic energy of the moving bullet is
Yes but the collision isnt
Modern Kevlar still won't stop a full size rifle cartridge at less than 100 meters.
How the fuck is a wet blanket going to do it?
kevlar is rather old
Also, how else you know he was full of shit:
Its hard enough to calculate an elastic collision
it'll crush your ribs even if it does stop it
kevlar is supposed to stop you from dying and that's it
all that energy doesn't just dissipate lmao
@ebon walrus you literally just have to know the breaking point of the blanket
Zero mention of the actual properties of the blanket. What it's made of, thickness, density, wetness, angle.
Muh fudds
even water needs 2 meters
an 8mm mauser cartridge wouldn't stop for a blanket unless it was like 3m thick
Right?
yeah.
Let alone calculate the hardness + toughness of a wet blanket to figure out whether the initial collision would penetrate or push back the blanket
Did he told you it could stop AT rockets?
so here's the thing: wet blankets were used in ww1 trenches. they were used to combat gas from sinking down into dugouts and tunnels
On the other discord guys talk about dinosaur skin would stop bullets 
its still not university level let me tell you
dinosaurs will have a forced evolutionary factor of needing to be smaller once americans figure out how to time travel
some big brain probably heard of some old vet talking about wet blankets in trenches and figured "oh that must've been to stop bullets" and that's where the rumor circulated from
But im sure he had some degree of a valid idea on why it would work
@cursive solar humans will hunt dinosaurus to extention again In years if not months! 💙
Maybe because of the experiment that demonstrates the existence of electrons around atoms
don't worry, someone will export them to the aztecs to make america not exist
With the gold sheet
If anything putting up a blanket would give you a place to stay hidden
why would you use concealment instead of cover
Which is important when the enemy wants to shoot ur head off
Disease will take care of the Aztecs
where heavy guns are roaring every day
Cover is cover
so you have a trench and you decide to use whet blanket to conceil
doen't stop a 15cm howitzer
I havent lived in a trench for 3 years so idk why you would want one but im sure there are reasons
put a blanket
Welcome to Jurassic Wolrd,
@cursive solar
Oh no wait I got an Intel that humans have a butt load of firearms and guns and military
So Welcome to normal World, 😔
screech
Rip
Better have a blanket than being naked on the no man's land
Lol
yes but where's your standard issue entrenching tool
Was putting blankets over barbed wire a thing in ww2?
The gas thing makes total sense. Early makeshift masks were just water (or piss) soaked cloths tied over the mouth.
Well, moving is not the best idea while being alone in the no man's land
That could be where it came from
You'd hang it over doorways though, you wouldnt just hang it everywhere.
british royal engineer corps did that a lot
yeah that's what I meant, over dugout entrances
noman's land is cock and ball torture
I mean that could stop slower shrapnel
But with Artillery shells and bullets @cursive solar
Shrapnel doesnt have fantastic ballistics properties
@cursive solar with mud
imagine dying for an idea that just might work
Welcome to the world of science
Many have
@atomic meteor I found the screenshots of the convo
I ranted to my bf about it while it was happening so I took screens of the convo to show him
I remember hearing about a German jumping off hills to test gliders
Oh yeah
wut
my brain operates at peacetime capacity
lol
So, full retard level?
more or less
Understandable
obviously I ranted about it to my battlefield, I always have the game on hand to yell at
Post the convo dude!
you must be one of those PTFO types
So we talk about military engineers or researchers who died/hurt while testing?
I wonder if I should censor the name or not 
you might wanna lmao
eh, I could care less, people being slightly less than common sense
but do so for posterity
Censor it? Why?
idk, it's rather embarrasing
cause it's someone here and people gonna ping em cause people are children
yes
@plain mountain speak for your self, 💙

was ist das?
mfw someone says shooting a wet blanket won't penetrate it
ok time to edit convo pics then I guess
maybe at 3000 yards
Whats that in meters?
some football fields
football fields are different for europeans too
or olympic swimming pools
I measure by roman footsoldiers per square mile
Walmart = Ve Ruokakauppaan?
is it the finnish equivalent for the 'man I look slighly poor' store?
We fixed the nuke 😄
Now it's just about fixing it...
We fixed the glitch, but broke the nuke. There we go.
Watch out, the nuke might disappear after seeing Raid tags x)
chad moment
debunking fuddlore one at a time
So whats the conclusion :
Don't believe everything What you see,
Respect other privacy and don't go to sauna with wet blankets,
💙
pfft
Excellent!
Well ww1 bullets were a bit weaker then today but still
bruh
have you seen a full sized rifle cartridge and compared it to the pussy intermediate ammo we use today
8mm Mauser is way stronger than the standard 5.56 most standard us military rifles use. anything larger is used for marksmen/sharpshooting
5.56 is controllable in rapid fire. 308 thicc boi is hard to control. today they are considering using the Creedmoor as the main infantry bullet since it hits hard and (apparently) it is way more controllable then the 308.
.308 isnt just hard to control
yeah, more controllable, easier to carry, supply, and manufacture, and has just about the same lethality as larger cartridges
Well, ppl realized filling enemy with holes is better than one 👀
you would shoot the sky if you shot a .308 assault rifle
fuck then it becomes a battle rifle
something that's outdated
i still dont get why there's a debate about "bigger bullet is better"
same people that say the 45acp is intrinsically better than the 9mm because it's slightly bigger
bigger bullet is not better, only goes farther
most engagement distances aren't over huge areas though, nowadays
people are stuck in old doctrine and thinking
yeah we aren't fighting the boers
you can get huge distance with a .30 cal, for example, but in a tight urban environment (and that's where a lot of fighting happens), you're not going to have the best capacity or recoil control for CQC and suppression
will it tear someone to shreds on contact? absolutely, but a 5.56 round will inflict damage just as well and is lighter on weight and logistics
not to mention it's always better to have more chances to hit something than having smaller magazines
exactly
chances are that if you're engaging over 300 yards, you won't hit if they're returning fire
if you're engaging at 300 yards, if you do hit with a 5.56, it's still going to do damage
yeah it works good enough
army just expected soldiers to be snipers shooting accurately all the time. kind of stupid to base your doctrine on range tests only but hey thats how they did it
we all know we're just going to use a M72 LAW and blow the mud hut up
armies used to train soldiers to always just shoot to kill, but after ww2 I think they saw the value in suppression tactics, with the advent of more auto and semi auto rifles and other weapons
of course soldiers still shoot to kill but keeping your enemy suppressed is a surefire way to get them to stay low rather than wait to shoot them if they run out
@cursive solar yeah air superiority really changed the game as well
once you have the skies to yourself it becomes really hard to lose any open engagement
using the world's largest intelligence network and using a well-equipped airforce, works quite a lot
but the grunt will have artillery
because muntions are expensive
Even shoot to kill is not the most efficient now
Because an injuried soldier will have to be sent in the backline
Depends whom you shoot 
why shoot a soldier when you can airstrike a general
But what if general is retarded 
What's that retarded f'ing thing people do where they spam crouch when they get shot
its called not standing still like targets?
oh then they're trying to evade bullets but they're doing it wrong
only works on semi autos anyways
What do you mean "works on"? What is this thing?
if you crouch the millisecond before they shoot their aim gets thrown off and they miss
That's so dumb
since aiming works weird
you can just aim lower and you wont miss
just that people always aim too high
Aim lower? What do you mean? As in, aim at the ground beneath them?
no i mean put your cursor where you wont shoot over if they decide to crouch
lots of people just aim past people or aim on their head
Doesn't the cursor lock on to them automatically?
no?
Weird, I must have hacks. My cursor always locks on to people
huh
if you aim at someone, it'll change elevation to their torso
which is why you cant shoot people in trenches unless you aim past them and hit their head
and thats only if you get lucky with elevation
I thought you could hit people behind cover, but that each shot has a chance of missing
generally just dont even waste ammo shooting at people in trenches unless you have clear view
yes thats a thing too
So why not shoot them and wait until you get lucky with a hit?
thats the reason why you can miss you rifle shot when the guy is clearly hit. i fucking hate that when it happens
because you dont have unlimited ammo
imagine shooting a guy with a sniper 3 times but the first 2 miss cause hes in cover
and thats not really effective since they can get healed
imo cover mechanic shouldnt even affect the rifle and sniper
carbine is fine because it shoots faster
agree
What about shooting people who are downed and nearby? I can never fucking hit a downed soldier who's between ~0-20 meters. I aim right at them and the bullet just flies right by.
Then they always laugh at me on voice "Hahaha, you can't shoot a wounded soldier who's unmoving"
oh yeah thats because the prone hitbox is stupidly small
I always respond, "Yeah, you fucking try it, hotshot, it's fucking buggy"
So then why is it that I have no problem hitting downed soldiers FAR away, only NEARBY
it's like an unspoken rule that your credibility as a shooter is demonstrated by you being able to insta kill downed players lol
dont stand right next to them if you're gonna shoot them
take a step back and you'll be able to hit them
Even if they're 10 meters away, I can't reliably hit them
you just gotta know the sweetspot
Well, I must have missed that part of the training camp
and after 300 hours of time played, still haven't figured it out
i do it all the time while running because 1. it makes me look like a chad to run and kill with a rifle without even missing a beat and 2. it wastes less time
well, lookatchyu
like all games foxhole combat has a lot to do with muscle memory and experience
dont be angry if you cant do everything on the first try
300 hours is well past a first try
i have 270 hours in cs:go and i still cant shoot things correctly

@high rain Common since... I dunno
In recent versions its best to wait till item appears before clicking to assemble next one if its long timer.

@high rain Had that happen to me once
Turns out it was just lag, really really bad lag, at least for me
