gaming

[formal tiger]

seeing this rn in the video lol

its insanity

[manic mural]

Medic is a bit op but I think it compensates for the usual lack of medics in most fps games

[timid swan]

A bit? They could have a limit on revives and it would solve it entirely but NO

[formal tiger]

honey badger

[manic mural]

They do

[formal tiger]

fun gun

[manic mural]

20 bandages

It's the speed that's buffed to heck

[timid swan]

Which is functionally unlimited with ammo crate drops

[manic mural]

I guess that's true, I haven't seen many people use the ammo crate though lol

[manic mural]

Grenade fixes all

[timid swan]

Because they don't know about it and don't live long enough

Headshot kills also shouldn't be able to be revived

Nothing like being sniped from across the map

[formal tiger]

the proximity chat looks fun

[timid swan]

And then the guy stands up 5 seconds later

[formal tiger]

just got a peek at the building feature too

[manic mural]

Dunno, I'm fine with reviving headshot kills, they shouldn't let you get revived more than once though

[timid swan]

Also true

[manic mural]

But I find reviving over and over again pretty funny lol

[timid swan]

Medic xp gain should also be nerfed

It's great that they give so much but also destroys the level balance

[formal tiger]

tank combat looks stupid fun

trying to find some of the building destruction in the video rn

oh wow rpgs do a lot to tanks

[timid swan]

As they should

[formal tiger]

saw it do +43 to a tank, assuming they each have 100 health

a little interesting how an rpg7 does that to a t90.... but ill take it

[manic mural]

Yea true I was getting quite a few levels from playing medic earlier, I think healing XP is alright, but reviving XP needs to be reduced a bit, or maybe made so reviving squad mates gave more XP than random people

[formal tiger]

i didnt know rpg7's were this capable ngl

[manic mural]

Yea the tandem one is crazy

That's why it's still in service

[formal tiger]

this whole time i thought they were only useful against lightly armored targets lmao

[timid swan]

HEAT rockets are insane, they really do immobilize many tanks in one shot

[formal tiger]

but damn... they do a lot more than i thought

[timid swan]

That's battlefield drilling that into you

[formal tiger]

LOL

exactly what i was thinking

[manic mural]

Think top tier war thunder heatfs shells

Not the most effective front on but still lethal

[formal tiger]

i hate heat shells

inconsistent

[timid swan]

Hit the fuel reserve, ammo, or engine and that tank is burning down

But yeah other spots it's survivable

[manic mural]

Mobility kill but usually not a kill as games put it

(engine wise)

[timid swan]

Oh yeah it'll wreck your tracks too

[timid swan]

Going through my old screenshots, found this from Stellaris. They didn't hold back lol.

[wind vector]

[manic mural]

[manic mural]

Do you play modded hoi4 at all?

[timid swan]

I don't even know what that is

[manic mural]

It's time for you to play tno

[timid swan]

Do you have any idea how many games I have no time to play

[manic mural]

But tno lore is so good

Tbf you'll probably never play it

Join us in aoe2 gaming

its like 5 bucks

[formal tiger]

idk how we managed to win with all the enemies getting all the relics

was pretty annoying

[clever stump]

villagers op man

esp. in pop mod games

they are literal aoe meta

[formal tiger]

we were playing with 200 max pop

might try more tho

[formal tiger]

wym

[clever stump]

aoe 1

you can arm villagers to the teeth

with temples

[formal tiger]

?????

wtf

[clever stump]

then you have 50 villagers

and they just mob

💀

[formal tiger]

youre saying i can wipe a civ with just villagers

[clever stump]

try it

yes

temples and market

I think storage pit can also help a lil

[formal tiger]

am i able to arm them with good weapons

[clever stump]

gives you like (0+6) defence

what no

they just use pitchforks

[formal tiger]

LMFAO

[clever stump]

like they aren't incredible solo

[formal tiger]

give them that + the arson upgrade

[clever stump]

but as a mob

they trap

surround

confuse 💀

destroy ☠️

[formal tiger]

do people use that in aoe2 comp games

[clever stump]

aoe2 it's a lot harder iirc

cos they nerfed speed

but in aoe 1 is stupidly effective

[formal tiger]

o yea i did kinda see the villagers are kinda slow

i think theres a civ taht allows them to move a little faster

[clever stump]

the meta civ

[formal tiger]

i kinda wanna get aoe3

i remember it being fun

[clever stump]

aoe3 imo was meh

[formal tiger]

weird how aoe3 is cheaper than aoe2

[clever stump]

I had fun being with friends on it

but the game itself was meh

[formal tiger]

seems like theyre aware 2 is better kek

it looks like the whole playerbase for aoe is on the second game

had to buy the og rts

[clever stump]

I'd believe it

[formal tiger]

time to launch ICBMS at pre industrial france

i honestly think aoe4 has a chance to be good

in its current state its alright

aoe1 was

[clever stump]

see you've seen the light

old aoe >>>> any decent rts

[formal tiger]

is this worth getting at all

i mean its free

but

LOL

[clever stump]

that's 4k

legendary 1 im too far from anyways

[strange garnet]

Looking to get a laptop or pc that would allow me to play Escape From Tarkov. Would appreciate recommendations. Here's a link to system requirements: https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/support/knowledge/68

[manic mural]

What's your budget?

Actually running tarkov well is going to take more than min specs

[strange garnet]

Found that out the hard way. Bought something for like $300 2 years ago and now it won't run at all. At this point I'm looking for something that will run it well

I'm hoping for less than $1500

[manic mural]

Are you buying now or going to wait at least a few weeks?

40 series mobile gpus should be out next month

[strange garnet]

I'm willing to wait, probably won't be buying anything until march

just trying to get an understanding of a realistic cost

[wind vector]

surely $1500 can get you a pc that can run tarkov

[strange garnet]

I'm illiterate when it comes to building a computer or picking the correct components. So when I see "DX11 compatible graphics card with 2 GB or more of memory"...I don't know what I'm looking for.

[timid swan]

Sounds like a GTX 950

When you're ready to buy let us know, $1500 gets a pretty decent PC and prices are only expected to drop. The issue is inventory availability by then.

[manic mural]

It's just absolutely minimum specs, tarkov will take more, general guidance I'd give you for tarkov is 2060 + desktop gpu, 3060 + mobile gpu

[timid swan]

Oh absolutely, minimum specs I only consider applicable within the first year of a game's existence. Over time with patches and feature additions and optimizations for newer platforms, the min becomes near unplayable.

[manic mural]

Anyways, those specs are just very general guidance, it doesn't really help you in looking for stuff, that's listed just for compatibility more than anything else

i should play american war thunder again

new hoi4 strategy

torpedo boat spam

here's my dumb naval plan

1 carrier
4 light cruisers
20 torpedo destroyers
20 screens that only exist to die

maybe gonna toss in the starting heavy cruisers

starting cruisers converted to carriers

and then i just make 50 task forces of these

i might refit heavy cruisers to make them screen killers?

[wind vector]

nvm can't put medium guns on heavy cruisers

Germany starts with a pretty good industry

and focus tree buffs it even more

so i can just spam out dockyards without worrying too much about the army

[onyx grove]

😯

looking forward to that

[wind vector]

ok so

turns out

the ai is not very smart

what a surprise

i straight up sealion'd them with barely any opposition

and then gained complete naval supremacy without a major battle

they didn't even try convoy raiding me

which would have definitely crippled the invasion

It's mostly jump scares and environmental horror elements. If you think you can handle that much you're golden.

There's currently a performance related bug in Hogwarts Legacy which heavily limits performance for AMD's Zen 4 processors in a number of the more CPU heavy sections. Basically the game doesn't use the CPU, none of the cores are maxed out and only 4 cores see moderate usage.

Bad optimization

[timid swan]

It's heavily CPU limited even at 1440p

Here's 4k

1440p

Ultra is a totally unplayable, mere 129 fps on flagships

4k ultra is just sad

Not a single 30/6000 series GPU got 60 fps at 4k ultra

And that's without RT on

With RT on at 4k ultra only the 4090 got 60 fps

brandenburg isn't really much of a threat tho

since PLC destroyed any chance of prussia being a thing

[wind vector]

this is why you don't march into vienna with no support

[native bone]

The 10gb could use a bit more vram ngl relative to its core perf

Let it be a wake up call soo they give their future cards adequate vram amount

[timid swan]

10GB buffer fills up at 1440p or 4k pretty quick in some games yeah

[wind vector]

i completely forgot about the four entire armies in poland

[wind vector]

i got the funny CB

[manic mural]

dew it

[wind vector]

almost done with france

once i'm done with france i'm just gonna spam out stacks and go kill kebab

[pale basin]

@manic mural it has finally been done

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-finally-rest-watch-sunrise-grateful-universe-gif-14058636

[wind vector]

@manic mural i've decided to finally play TNO again, who should i play?

[manic mural]

nice

[manic mural]

sablin

[wind vector]

focus tree?

[manic mural]

wait

[manic mural]

do you have brave new world or no

[wind vector]

no

[manic mural]

with that submod you get 2wrw content and stuff so prob don't do russian states without it

[wind vector]

oh

so pretty much anything past moskowien doesn't have content

[manic mural]

no

moskowien doesn't have content

[wind vector]

oof

[manic mural]

russian states have content to like 72 iirc

[wind vector]

uhhh

there's 2 of them

[manic mural]

with 2wrw you get up to 74 and beyond

actually I didn't realize tno main got an update

[wind vector]

i'm gonna play state of guandong after this

[manic mural]

looks like asia update

do right side one

codetalker newer brave new world update iirc

[wind vector]

lol i might do state of guandong first

funny chinese state

[manic mural]

sounds fun

I will have to do those too

[wind vector]

i'm probably gonna get rolled over by japan

[manic mural]

nah

They do it in a way where iirc when you do go to war it's only against the Chinese puppets not Japan proper

[wind vector]

hmm

i'm gonna do greater china larp

brave new world crashed my game

welp

probably hoi4 updates breaking mods again

[manic mural]

prob, just do without and do state of guandong then

[manic mural]

the submods update slower than the main mod

[wind vector]

yeah

and i think there was a major update recently

the one that rebalanced the tanks

[wind vector]

wtf sony rifles

[manic mural]

lol

@formal tiger I decided to play some osu again, was doing decently, and then somehow accidentally restarted the map at the end?????

[wind vector]

ok damn

these sony rifles are pretty good

they're not that much worse than the base infantry rifles

but they take 1 steel to produce instead of 3

[manic mural]

ez monie

[wind vector]

capitalism

[timid swan]

The alternate reality that should have been

That's where the real money is after all

[manic mural]

Esp with how many proxy wars go on lol

[wind vector]

oh god

the economy crashed

thanks japan

[manic mural]

The crisis fired eh

Never played as a nation in the Japanese sphere through the crisis before

[manic mural]

Tbh there's a lot of TNO I haven't played, I've played a lot of Russian states, Italy, Spain, US, South Africa, Yunnan, and that's about it

[wind vector]

oh

germany blew up

so much for the greater german reich

oh god it's not done collapsing

[manic mural]

@wind vector look at west Russia and you'll see why that part doesn't have content yet

[manic mural]

Did they get rid of moscowien implosion? Wack

[wind vector]

probably rng

[manic mural]

It wasn't rng before, it always split, although maybe I've played too much 2wrw and it's 2wrw content

[wind vector]

hmm

i'm pretty sure i had moskowien blow up before

maybe it's RNG on Germany's side?

[manic mural]

Maybe they got rid of it this update for some reason

It shouldn't be

[timid swan]

I finally got a couple high gain antennas for my motherboard wifi. Now I can use all my controllers over bluetooth. What to do with my new power...

[manic mural]

Moscowien implosion is independent of who wins civil war

[wind vector]

hmm

[manic mural]

Wireless kb+m :p

[timid swan]

https://tenor.com/view/nope-no-definitely-not-gif-10506241

[manic mural]

It's supposed to happen during the civil war as instability mounts

[wind vector]

ok i'm done with TNO today

too much text to read

it is really amazing how much effort the devs put into guangdong tho

[manic mural]

Lol

Yea tno has a lot of effort put into it

[runic kindle]

Anyone know the advanced launch options for apex for steam

[knotty dawn]

I know it exists

What are you looking to do with them lol

[runic kindle]

Looking to@put them into my steam lol-

For apex

[wind vector]

gonna do kaiserreich france

i haven't really done any of the syndicalist countries

it's more fun to play canada than union of britain

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/LJo06FXTFZ4

cant wait to make sick planes like this

[formal tiger]

i hope getting science is a little harder in ksp2

it felt too easy in ksp1

[idle garnet]

I never played campaign in ksp 1

only messed around in sandbox and made a ton of stuff

[formal tiger]

wtf???

[idle garnet]

im thinking of doing it in ksp 2 tho

[formal tiger]

this actually makes me want to try to build aircraft in the game now

not just spacecraft

[idle garnet]

yes

[formal tiger]

god the scenery looks so good now too

[formal tiger]

you should

[idle garnet]

hopefully they have a more elegant solution for landing gear

[formal tiger]

it's really fun modifying a build 500 times to figure out how to get somewhere imo

[idle garnet]

you can still see the landing gear pods on that plane which bothers me slightly

[formal tiger]

it took me a lot of time to figure out how to get to the moon for my first time

[idle garnet]

yeah true

ive done missions like that yeah

[formal tiger]

i think they do actually

i saw it somewhere on the ksp2 subreddit

i'm really excited for mp though

[idle garnet]

yeah same

[formal tiger]

didn't feel like going through the hassle and installing mods to do it

curious what it'll be like this time around though

[idle garnet]

yeah same here for ksp1

I mean based on the trailers and stuff hopefully other planet base creation

which would be awesome

and difficult

[formal tiger]

wym planet base creation?

like

[idle garnet]

like base creating

[formal tiger]

actually building a whole base on another planet?

ahhh

yeah that would be sick, like space engineers in a way

[idle garnet]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_nj6wW6Gsc&ab_channel=KerbalSpaceProgram

specifically towards the end of it

[formal tiger]

id take that as a hint it could be added

man

i might just buy on release too

[idle garnet]

also iirc this song for this video was homage to another youtube video

I will definitely

I want to support them fully

[formal tiger]

lmk how it is after playing it for a couple hours, and then i'll buy it too

[formal tiger]

okay yeah building on other planets is definitely gonna be a feature then

[idle garnet]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkDOOsGg-9I&ab_channel=ShaunEsau

here it is

[formal tiger]

did you see the reddit video i linked earlier?

of how planets look like rn in the current build

[idle garnet]

yea I think but only one planet

I think right?

[formal tiger]

https://www.reddit.com/r/KerbalSpaceProgram/comments/10vzx9h/just_a_reminder_what_the_surface_of_planets_and/

[idle garnet]

and ksp 2 is apparently built on unity

so uhhh

hopefully everything is good

that looks amazing tho

[formal tiger]

unity?

[idle garnet]

yeah

[formal tiger]

Rip

[idle garnet]

I mean

Genshin Impact is built on unity

a lot of games are

[formal tiger]

not a bad thing, but my 3080 is probably gonna cry

[idle garnet]

I think youll be fine

I dont think it will be as demanding as you think

[formal tiger]

i hope dlss is a feature

should be

[idle garnet]

oh it will

and rtx

[formal tiger]

since there'll be rtx

perfect

browsing the ksp2 sub to see what else is new

https://www.reddit.com/r/kerbalspaceprogram_2/comments/10h2el5/1st_minmus_landing_nearly_fail_source_ksp_twitter/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

everything is so fluid now

[idle garnet]

those landing gear physics

insane

[formal tiger]

the terrain looks really bad but tbf it's beta build

[idle garnet]

yeah could have been earlier in the beta development

[idle garnet]

https://www.reddit.com/r/KerbalSpaceProgram/comments/1115xlh/i_promise_i_was_sober_when_i_made_this/

lol

[idle garnet]

I really really REALLY hope there is the compressed air wing physics thing

like on the F-16

[formal tiger]

LOL

BRO

if i can launch a vehicle like that to space

like how tesla did

i'll be so happy

[idle garnet]

like I hope that is taken into consideration

I hope they add it to WT one day

[formal tiger]

i doubt they'd miss that. if it's not in the build on release, it should come later down the line

[idle garnet]

yeah

[formal tiger]

did you see how explosions look now too?

[idle garnet]

yeah

I hope they fix the high speed jiggle in ksp2 tho

like when the parts move around and stuff weirdly

[formal tiger]

okay yeah i'm not waiting, i'm buying it on release idc

[idle garnet]

lol

[formal tiger]

night looks so much better as well as the lighting

the launch pad bro.

goty

[idle garnet]

100%

unless starfield takes the shining light

KSP 2 should win at least something

game awards or steam awards

[formal tiger]

posted in r/ksp2

we should expect one really soon then

[formal tiger]

i pray starfield isn't a flop

[idle garnet]

oooooo

[formal tiger]

it looks promising

[idle garnet]

yeah same here

I hope

[formal tiger]

but yeah, they reply to dms which is pretty neat ^^^^

[idle garnet]

occasionally I doubt they answer to everyone

[formal tiger]

a lot of people are doubting ksp2 though since ea

but i think they're wrong

[idle garnet]

huh

wdym doubting

I think it is going to be a success

[knotty dawn]

Despite ea

It should be great

[plain wave]

im not spending 40$ on another ksp lol

rather just download 400 mods on ksp1

[timid swan]

But procedural generation, multiplayer, and interstellar travel

[austere ermine]

MULTIPLAYER??!?!?!?

goddamnit

forgot i was in this server

[timid swan]

Yeah you have 4 players on the same base, each with their own launch pads and buildings so they don't interfere with others

[austere ermine]

oooo

what if i want to interfere

[timid swan]

Then botch a launch and crash on their pad

[austere ermine]

hheehe

when game come out

holy crap only 11 days

[idle garnet]

just google the mission name and likely you will find a video of it then just replicate what they do in the video.

👍

[wind vector]

i might try reunifying russia in TNO

[near steppe]

@upbeat oarstop posting that

[upbeat oar]

Ah, so I did already post that

My bad

[manic mural]

it's great fun

[daring valve]

love the new attachments

[formal tiger]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITaA59VJ0hE @idle garnet 9:06 is insane. The way the showed off "in game audio" was beautiful

[idle garnet]

yeah I saw that video it is insane

[slim sleet]

And no, this is not on a PC, it's on a PS5

[wind vector]

Moskowien blew up

[idle garnet]

lol

[calm reef]

is that a mod? lol

[pale basin]

no, it just happens

[formal tiger]

https://www.reddit.com/r/KerbalSpaceProgram/comments/112zrlb/youve_seen_f22s_fire_aim9xs_but_have_you_seen_an/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

aim9x firing an f22

nice

[idle garnet]

needs freebird solo playing over it

[timid swan]

That is the most violently American thing I've seen this week

[wind vector]

I really like how TNO handles warlords

it's a lot better than bland generic focus trees in vanilla hoi4 china

[manic mural]

yea

[idle garnet]

HOI4 is too complicated for me

I tried it once.

[manic mural]

Novosibirsk has some interesting mechanics if you want to play another warlord

although wait for brave new world/2wrw update if you can, a lot more russian warlord content

or, play buryatia and go wholesome sablin route

before they nerf it

[formal tiger]

same, applies to all paradox games for me except city skylines. hoi and eu4 are like the type of games i like to watch, but not the biggest fan of playing, as much as i've tried to get into it

[idle garnet]

oh thats eu4

I thought it was hoi4 lol

but yeah

[wind vector]

it is hoi4

wtf poland migrated to kazakhstan???

[idle garnet]

ah

[wind vector]

britain is a thing again

[wind vector]

Russia rises again

[idle garnet]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MYQjq1y41A @formal tiger

[formal tiger]

YOO

that looked so good

gotta update my username

gonna rewatch that one more time

[formal tiger]

after watching a second time

god damn this is gonna be a master piece when its finished

i wonder if we're going to get any benefits down the road for buying on release?

idk if theyve said anything about that

[timid swan]

Nothing that I've seen, you can't even pre-order it right now I believe.

Nothing in their FAQ either but there is this, which I love to see

Oh I get it, this isn't the full launch for the game. Just early access. This is a great move imo because they can launch what they have ready and work on the more complex stuff like multiplayer later. The price for early access buyers ($50) is lower than the expected price after the full launch.

[idle garnet]

cheaper. probably will be $60 upon 1.0 release

[timid swan]

Or $70 like some AAA games are starting to be

[formal tiger]

that's actually a very neat addition to day 1

you buying it on release too fal?

[formal tiger]

yeah, they have a whole road map of what they plan on completing at a time.

now that they actually have a dev team with size, i'm sure it won't take too long to finish this road map, compared to the 3 developers they had on release for ksp1. maybe 1-2 years is what im guessing since their team is pretty big now

[timid swan]

I'm considering buying into early access but not any time soon. There's other games I want to get first.

Oh yeah I'm sure they wouldn't even commit to this being "early access" without an idea of how long things will take to finish, and that time being soon.

[formal tiger]

Yep

One thing im looking forward to most with multiplayer is a little "Space Race" with friends

[timid swan]

So you're more competitive than cooperative

I'm the opposite

I can't wait to build an ISS

Neither play style is wrong imo

[formal tiger]

i'd say im both

building an ISS does seem extremely fun

colonies is going to be SUCH a nice addition

same for interstellar

i havent played much of ksp1 campaign, so i'll still be a noob when it comes to the game

[timid swan]

Yeah that would be fun to do a space race for also tbh. First to establish a Mun colony.

[formal tiger]

Yes, the first to colonize on planet type of competition does sound very fun too. I'm curious if you'll be able to help your friends build. For example, they can build a part of the ISS that you're constructing

Theres just so much fun and potential in the new game

Im so eager

[timid swan]

There's no way that won't be a feature. I'm sure that's one of the first things they thought of.

[formal tiger]

Nice. I wouldn't mind if we all did a space race together at some point in the future when we all have the game

Probably going to want to complete the campaign first myself

[pale basin]

@manic mural new warframe came out along new mission type. the passive ability of the warframe is kinda lame but its a status monster

noooo, my video file is too large

darn you discord

server is boosted, why it no let me send file

[formal tiger]

https://www.reddit.com/r/KerbalSpaceProgram/comments/113m7rw/youve_seen_f22_fire_aim9s_youve_even_seen_aim9xs/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

it... gets worse

neat

[limber fulcrum]

that's detailed af

[pale basin]

wonder what the framerate of this gif if gonna look like since i cant use giphy for these files

low framerate but oh well

@manic mural first clip is with a melee added for damage and second clip is just damage from status effects

[wind vector]

hoi5??????

[manic mural]

easy condition overload builds?

[pale basin]

it can be used for this but i dont use it anymore since its been nerfed

dont remember the last time i used co

[manic mural]

rip

when'd they nerf it?

[pale basin]

a while ago

like, 3 updates ago (3 major updates not just normal hotfix updates)

[idle garnet]

KSP 1 was in early access for 3 years

[formal tiger]

with an extremely small dev team

take two owns them now so it'll change

[timid swan]

Yeah having a real dev team instead of 3 guys in a basement will be a big improvement. I heard they hired some of the top modders too.

[formal tiger]

they hired modders???

thats actually cool as hell if thats real

reminds me of what they did with the witcher 3's rtx addition with them saying they worked with modders from the community

[timid swan]

Yeah they got some of the top mods integrated into the update doing that

[formal tiger]

damn, another reason to love ksp right there

[timid swan]

As a modder myself that would be cool as hell to have my work recognized like that

[wind vector]

can't wait for brave new world to update

[idle garnet]

yeah and they only invest in quality

[wind vector]

so i can get more content

[wind vector]

I'm warming up to TNO's aesthetics

the soundtrack also suit the aesthetics pretty well

the UI is still pretty annoying to read tho

[manic mural]

You'll get used to it

[idle garnet]

Dang recommended 3080

Minimum 6GB vram

That’s pretty high spec

The cpu recommendation for minimum is weird though

Athlon 4x is pretty weak compared to i5 6400 I think

[formal tiger]

damn that's high af spec

granted it's pre alpha so they're probably just still trying to figure it out

[timid swan]

Not even pre-alpha, early access is usually pretty close to the finished product. More like a public beta.

Though early access does usually happen after the public beta

Interesting that they think my old Phenom II x4 965 would run it. I'd have thought that they'd have newer SSE instruction sets as the minimum.

What we need to be talking about is that disk space requirement though

[idle garnet]

pretty average now in terms of game size

[limber fulcrum]

odd cpu min req tho

old ass athlon and i5 6400

[wind vector]

relatively gpu intensive game

kinda a surprise considering what kind of game it is

[timid swan]

Yeah you'd think with all the physics it would need more CPU

[wind vector]

it does eat up ram tho

wait

WAIT A SECOND

AMB AMB AMB

[timid swan]

AMB is best brand no cap

[wind vector]

maybe they're pushing the physics stuff onto the gpu?

somewhat like physx?

or maybe they prioritized graphics over physics

[wind vector]

french sealion

either cruiser converted carriers are op as hell or the ai is dumb

or a combination of both

[manic mural]

get supply

[manic mural]

ai is dumb

[wind vector]

yeah i just flooded the entire army in

the plan is to capture all the supply points before the british army can respond

[manic mural]

Ai Britain usually pretty empty so

[wind vector]

yeah they're never sealion ready

they're probably in africa?

but like

doesn't matter if they take all my colonies as long as i cap them

i might legit do soviet union and then cheese america

[idle garnet]

AMB

[wind vector]

AM🅱️

[idle garnet]

goofy game

[wind vector]

https://youtu.be/Nk327xDfhmw

this pretty much confirms that carriers are overpowered in the current patch

i might alter my strategy

make dedicated carriers and then convert all my cruisers to light attack cruisers

[manic mural]

tbh I think it's probably same effectiveness as torp + light attack cls

Carrier planes act like torpedos that don't care about screening

light attack cls deal with screening

[wind vector]

hmm

the ai usually just retreats whenever my task forces engage them

[manic mural]

best way to do naval in hoi4 is to not do naval and use naval bombers

[elder grotto]

my dixie wrecked

[wind vector]

but that's not as fun

[manic mural]

just do light attack torp cl

but muh high seas fleet
