Its so over

How is that even a thing
Mica coding is amazing
Thats kinda sad
Cause that means fire team does have 30% crit buff
But still struggles hard
I guess this is the only day I can record fire team
I'm gonna be killing boss early from now on
bruh
tomorrow is going be so much worse
gg
also it did feel strange vsk was missing crits while vector and qj critting all day
dam she petty good at v0
I think double borrow vsk might be the play instead of hk ngl
now is your chance to v6 her 
what the
il pick her in 3 banners 
legit 27m into this and this is how far i am 
108k lines
Wait how'd you go broke then 
from v6ing hk
this 
damn is my qh the one everyone is using now lol
Now makes sense why my VSK while having 65% crit were missing crits so fucking often
i want to see DP-12 now 
Really? But i feel dmg are less than last time
its natrually less
because altho u have 30% crit
u still lose 30% dmg
the crit is more signif
but ur still losing dmg%
let alone theres no good buff today anyw
ergo a meme day today
after tmmrw yes
cause the crit is fixed tmmrw
turbid is technically doing worse atm
cause u dont have 30% crit
thats fixed tmmrw
vsk is just that strong in g.s
Feel like her counter dmg is the same between v0 and v6
2 shots 50k dmg each
Is this the best V0 char ever?
I mean
she's casually doing 1m at v0 for me
that's as much as a v2r1 wa with heavy pen buff


Can't say it's bait when the kit is actually good
But it's a bit boring
The dog summon is just standing in 1 place
bait as in a good doll before an an anticipated doll
Does the dog even do anything else other than shoot out water every now and then lmao
After the 1st turn s2s1, we do s2ult only to the rest
like what is bro doing
Activate counter dmg or something
well it's pretty good bait then
If 45 is really next

yeah I skipped k2, phys is still in the dumps so I'd rather not
Yoohee will shine when AK15 releases. I believe.
lmfao
whel
if no fire tmrw what are you going use
for shark non peri teams
well I'm still going use fire
I had to hold one round or so with fire
snows how well did that sharky perform
||the funniest thing is that I didn't even notice my sharky doesn't have every key unlocked lol||
i realized when i tried to unlock her expansion key 
Suffering from success
Bug: Season Buff Fire Crit Rate 30% Is Present instead of Turbid Crit% (lol)
Buff: Vanguard DMG+
Support: V6R2 Qiuhua
Units: V1R1 Andoris, V6R5 QJ, V2R1 Vector, V6R5(TLL) Sharkry
woops
thats supposed to be a 3
big sharky damage
New Sharkry is better now?
so it turns out the game has a precise length for each line of text in the game and if u go below or above that the game breaks.
but i figured out how to change the text 
one step closer
i just need to figure out how they calculate the length and then edit it to be the new line length
Sfield
yeah im trying to make an EN patch 
ur editing the EN table into CN huh
something like that yeah
kek, keep us posted
pretty cool that it works like that
????????????
Bug: Season Buff Fire Crit Rate 30% Is Present instead of Turbid Crit% (lol)
Buff: Heavy Bullet Ignore
Support: V6R6 Niki
Units: V3R1 Spring, V6R1 HK, B2R2 Peritya, V2R1 WA
wait today's buff sucks ass
nice starfield
Tll v6?
v5r4 yea
Still TLL losing to Nikketa is weird
I mean its not anything surprising
Calcs in theorycraft say shes basically hydro qh
Leva or Levva?
Ult buff not worth?
I'll do my second run later today
I dunno why I tried to aim for this achievement but I did it
ironically this is the last achievement before I get her bunny suit
nice
ooo
lowkey
@severe canyon slave away for botzu 
translate all the text
when slave away for me instead

this is super nice 
am down if you need a tester or smth
but ofc 
thx will definitely post it when its ready
i feel like im doin something wrong i keep losing buffs on tololo with water team
first time killing this boss didn't know you had to wait 
also nikketa op
do you need to apply springfield buff to nikketa or is it not necessary?
springfield's skill 3
its normal cause she takes alot of turns
have to cast it to maintain the 70% dmg buff

Damn, forgot it started today. I'm at work

id say yes imo
but i mean using wa + dush mod is fine too somewhere
but I'm not pulling v6 hk
@quartz saddle i have to go to work do you mind filling the sheet today
what about me 
Done 🔥
yep early maint for 1h
hope everyone did their hits
got jumpscared mid run]

Day 1 
4 people missed 
looking at retempest video why did he say that v0 Nikketa needs to reuse skill 2 multiple times throughout the run?
i don't understand
yeah
he's saying for v0 the optimal skill cycles is s2, then s3+ult rinse and repeat
which I don't understand why
Cose thats the only way to play VSK on V0
im going lose my shit

Lvl 32 Dispatch room day
4 more lvls till max
Tho they really need to expand more levels
How to get more upgrade mat?
Dispatch at least 5 times a week, new doll
I do it everyday
thats only 2 source of mats income
Still 29/30 for my lv 31
u missed
the last reward of a week
should be 29 + 4/30 which is the same as my pic
Wtf how
Anyone who didnt miss should be lvl 32, 3/30
Have to wait about 15 more hours for it
u forgot a day this week didnt u
last reward is on Friday
Opened it late on monday
i hit 30 now kek
lvl 27 pleb over here
Since one of our guild memeber got banned from the server

Daily guildwar ping is a little bit awkward now

mhd
Tho u can ping him in Dollistan for missing hits
Bro what happened
LMAO

missing hits
@neat geyser @manic dirge @harsh timber @summer rune
im doing rn
you guys think Faye dupe could potentialy be better than Mosin dupe or nah?
I think so cause electric team is overall pretty weak, and they are prob going to relase a physical hypercarry sometime soon

I dont think Faye dupes are better than Mosin
but if you are going phys team her gun would be nice
and a couple of her early dupes are good
but we literally gonna get super omega giga electric hypercarry next month with 45

Hmm if i have Nikketa V6 along with Springfield V6 in this team maybe i will able to kill guild boss
wait why mhd got banned?
check lunasia
just search up ass
in guild chat

use yunaris
Hey guys, where do you get the vector skin?
2.4k medals in the new shop
Thx!
so sad the guild war is happening while im on vacation so limited internet 🤣
have some downtime today so should be able to get 2 kills
FML i forgot that if he dies early you dont get max score
borrow nikketa team manages a kill in ~4 turns for me using v6 spring/tll/hk/peritya
I skipped a couple turns and the springfield bird killed him turn 6 😢
need to drop the feedback next survey to say if you kill boss before end turn it should just automatically give you max points


you managed to slip tooltips text and story dialogue into one place, amazing 

is this how chinese feels for people who can't read chinese?
Issue is that I can't seem to edit the length of the text
so I can use en text when they are the same length.
At least haven't figured out how to do it yet
Lmao did you switched the lang file
lol yes
Prob some silly reason, considering some of the rules of this server, but welp it happens
will hit late
all i can do is change small stuff for now
missing hits @ rex @empty timber @stable forge @summer rune @timber mesa
yeah im working on it atm
double keeling


what in the whel
me near the top of the board when I not auto kek
this team was so much easier to clear with than full fire team
feel fire team suffer so much. Qj can't crit in this season at all
you can get her crit rate up pretty high
up to 80% with no extra crit from shared keys
im saving all my gold chips for next patch letsu goo
70% CR ? lol you get 10% proc, eat crap

rex when you see this, can you swap your k2 support to qh
im hitting at 3:30 am

ok thanks
just wait for AN+AK

can't wait for them to remove this bear and his fucking shield
only for them to replace it with something worse?
at least it would be something new with the potential of being fun
not being able to break that fucking shield is such a shitty feeling
since they added this boss i'm not looking forward to daily hits, they are just chores now, might as well auto them
yeah on the lower spectrum not breaking the shield feels ass and on the upper spectrum killing too fast so you miss the final shield is also bad, this boss just feels way too nuanced
me, just wanting to go back to the tank:
Translation patch for just basic UI would be a godsend 
We had it 2 times, but on the second time they accidentally revealed aphelion translation of part 1 and they removed the files
I'm not sure if we ever found the correct file that came on the update or if they changed the IDs on CN for it to not work anymore, if you do it now the translation will all be random sentences
yep
this is the problem, i noticed they changed the text references ea patch and thats how I ended up with this before.
#1268897467412254821 message
the problem with making a translation patch for the UI is that you have a set length for ea string, and chinese is shorter than english so I would only be able to set a few things.
at least until i figure out how to change the line length without breaking things
isn't 1 chinese character worth 2 roman characters
somewhat, the line length is based on bytes so for this line:
对。that counts as six characters
Some lines are longer in EN some are longer in CN. If the line is longer in CN i can replace it with padding, but i can't replace it if the EN line is longer. some lines for example :
隐藏 is 6 and EN replacement is Hide which is 4
显示 is 6 and EN replacement is Display which is 7

how about show or view
sure I can change it to that, but the number of lines is about 180k so going through and finding shorter sentences would be a pain
That sound like a mess... I'm gonna start asking for EN TL option in surveys from now on lmao
And if we are doomed, is there an easy way to list those sentences on a excel or something? So all who are interested on helping u out can chip in?
wait you're translating each line manually?
this is a bit old tho
no
the power of google translate
google sheets has an integration with google translate so i use that and it translates the whole thing
then i was gunna use the en data to fix what they had
which was up to aphelion
that approach (google tl) has the "lenght" problem tho, no?
lemme upload the newest version real quick where I have the byte lengths
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1a2GjjlBHIHgmcoux2PegdtnF88BjUZNAezp6I1x7xU0/edit?usp=sharing here is a newer copy.
damn, he's good
the way I see it, for mental sanity's sake, there has to be a focus; say its just UI for now (characters names, skills info, enemies info, ui leadings, etc)
ah yeah
Then the work flow would be like:
-Identify which lines are for said UI
-Make the bytes match for EN & CN strings for said lines
-Trial and error
I was thinking about sorting this by the lines that are shorter in EN than CN and trying to just mass replace those first
Also, I found out the formula that they used to calculate the line length too. You take the last byte before the text and find the decimal value of it.
so \x06 = 6 \xFF = 255
but changing it breaks something
probably theres somewhere they set the length of the whole file
if u are able to figure that out, it would be awesome
can I make a copy of the table so I can mess with it?

3 hits done\
missing 1:
@ fubar @hasty galleon @timber mesa @timid lintel

@ sylvia @summer rune
bear is ok, they just need to actually let you kill early for max points if you have a good enough team
needing to skip like 3 turns is so stupid
i was doing it in a radiation zone while juggling paperwork at the same time

This is mine point lol almost able to kill it if it didn't spawn the shield at last turn
i think it is the exact opposite since there is 4 bars left on enemy turn 6, meaning he got dangerously close to killing it early, prevent him from full points
Oh
@gritty minnow can you put your Yoohee back i'm need her to do my 2nd run
what is the stop gap for mechty ?
tololo
well one less acid member meaning you have a neat package of 2 ready to be mixed into other teams
anyone from fire/water with good damage will replace Mechty just fine
they'll also add gold chip to BP, surely

Many requests to take things up and down
I guess I take down my spring since others also have it
yz wants me to talk about klukai's dupe breakpoints. is it 0 and 6?
I went straight to 6 on her and can't even see what her original tooltip looks like anymore 
wait did something happen with your niketta for some reason im doing like 1/2 the dmg with her 
Imagine anything but 6

I used 3 for awhile and it's not funny for Gunsmoke
V0 as bare minimum and fit mostly for aoe
V1 is much stronger with aoe, still not suitable for single target
V3 is when she bikes 2 times on bosses and apply def down, this makes her good dps for current global and decent dps for china server but only decent.
V6 you know
Ceia had V3 and V6 compare on his twitter
yeah because I said 3 is the next stop point if you cant afford 6 and then wait for rerun to make 6 after
but people kept saying 0 or 6 no in between
This is correct
V3 is usable as sub dps if you have stronger units in the future with aim to make her V6
But V3 is no huge carry like 6, no much synergy with Peritia too
6 is where she explodes 3 times per bike for peritya right
Correct
6 is also bike travel wide expands
6 is where her aoe area expands, the explosions after the bike travels
yeah and ignore cover def
Ye, but on that level its more of a nice qol, if a pack of units got hit with a corner of her bike ride they are dead as fuck
And all guild bosses has no cover at all
ok so it's alright to say 0 for f2p, and aim for 6 for spender, but stop at 3 first if broke right
cuz ppl only care about guild war
and v3 feels like a cope there 
isnt 3 already good for gw since you get 2 bikes against boss
Recharge issue
You cant combo its as good with Peritia as Kluk does 3 instances of damage per turn instead of 7 like on V6
ok then I'll add the context of gw for jumping to 6
So you bound to have holes in your bike rotation unless you can recharge her more, for example with QJ+Sharkry combo
Tho even if V3 Klukay will bike only each second turn, she will definately do bigger damage than Nemesis in terms of sub dps to apply def down 2
So for people who play 3 hits its still a good thing
As for GW, well, you usually borrow V6 kluck if any reachable ye
okay
so not wrong to say 0/3/6
since I got a lot of people saying just 0/6 because of ceia's post
So V3 is a mid road stop point to get V6
There is no much reason to get V3 and stop, thats for sure
Ye, so its 0/6 but nice pit stop in between if you actually aim to get huge numbers with her
Cose holy shit, it was 1.5 year and she is still kicking
are you talking about 416 on EN?
f2p collect
Ye, just to have Kluk ass on main menu
well true
damn kluk is worthless now 
Ceia damaging Mica funds with being too honest, time to pay him a visit
she's honestly still good as all occasion dps
especially since elements arent complete yet and shes the filler
Same team with more corro units overkilled the boss so Klukay is still relevant for sure
Its just for funny
No tll+nikketa?
Im doing 3 runs, its better to separate them
Still best unit to clear Frontier Surge for the 1st time
Mica maybe wants to revamp it once more or what because it is still not released in EN
I dunno, Tarkov is easy ah even on day 1
After some time you will get SMG perk to one shot bosses and thats total GG for whole mode
I'm not hearing any of this lalala
Lmao
Correctly is Vector patch

This is the momment before i kill it at Frenzy 22
really wish they expanded tarkov its my favorite mode

True, its fun
add escape mode with enemies actively chasing you
season 21*
best I could this gw

I think what I miss is dorm level
my attachments are as good as I can do now... I dont think its that
or i fucked up rotation
Depends on what are you using
Can't be worse than Ceias
Level 20 dorm lol
Ok
then Im prob fucking up rotation somehow
or my attachments are actually dog shit despite the bars being closer to max
bc ceia could kill the boss iirc
What are your teams?
v0 vsk with samosek, v3w1 spring, v6w1 tll, v4w1 peritya and a borrow HK thats v6w5 iirc?
5980 something last score
its rotation I bet
thought I did everythign right

I think it's a rotation issue then because I can kill with triple corro v1 sf + v0 vsk on wa sig
do you collect the boxes when it spawns or 1 turn after?
depends
I tried 1 turn after or just as it spawns and I got very similar score..
I usually collect box on spawn but sometimes I leave a box
to collect on next turn when shield is down
are u missing today @summer rune
fire team gets 5700, v5w1 qj, v1 vector, v0 reissi, v6 shark with planeta and borrow v6w5 qiuhua
at least it got that today
but I haven't farmed a good burn set for shark yet, still using the phase strike one
so its prob that
ooo
If you have andoris
id actually replace reissi there for her
really?
yes
bc qj gets more follow ups?
yeah since you're using sharkry over peri/wa there
qj is missing a few support attacks
hmm
I didn't try using wa.. true
maybe I should have
peri is v0 so I forget her
but how do I get the crit buffs? with andoris ult?
every turn 3?
No, gonna do as soon as I come home
ok
I might try but my andoris is not that good
but ig she doesnt really do damage anyway
or I could try putting wa in place of shark
I wonder whats better...
my wa is v3w1
Lemme send you a recording of my fire run
I nearly overkilled
lol
how similar is your team to mine?
only other missing is @timber mesa
wont keep track tmmrw
just rmbr ends early yada yada
hit if u can


Sorry, work 
I need to get myself out of this place irl
how tf is the fire team rotation in this supposed to work, im feeling like a dumb monkey seeing 5k on my turbid team but 3k on burn
i can never break the shield of this mf

same thing with reissi from what I saw
yeah but what is the rotation tho
im sure my fire team isnt THAT SHIT
have you been dispelling the buff the boss get when he does the shield?
most likely on that day u hit super last second
and i didnt record it until the following day
cause ur total hits and score is correct
for 2 hits a day
my vector key was wrong
otsu

i feel unbelievably stupid
why, you could win with this
@mental oxide How do you collect the weapon boxes and store them without having to open them when collecting?

The boxes just entered my mail but I'm being forced to choose an item
you mean the non bp, whale boxes that gives you a gold sig?
I dunno, I bought it and they dont come in the mail iirc
I have been doing 3k with fire team all season

is it stat issue
how did yo manage to get so low then?
wait you didn't use team presets?
I used and that was the problem
My preset wasn't using the cleanse key
huh, then how did you get 6k on the first few days?
I didn't
My best was 5.1k
With turbid team
The best I got with fire until yesterday was 4.0
Which I'm still not sure how, probably the fire buff was too good
Other than that my burn team was just hitting 3-3.6k at best
the presets work now?
there was a big uproar in the forum when it released because it didnt save properly or something
and broke peoples teams
I think people just didnt use it properly
I tend to use the presets on gw only, and put the normal loadouts on dolls
the reason my 416 had the wrong key for gw is because I use 416 for the guild daily also
and 3 tile width is a bit awkward to use
this is a great thing to learn about exactly after gunsmoke 
better do the gunsmoke now b4 i forgetti
my current savings for 45
so about 370 pulls in all?
374 to be exact
379 if you count the monthly tickets
i have pity on limited banner so i think i have a decent chance of getting V3+
if i also include using all the pulls il get back
v6r6 
90% of V2, ~50-70% of V3, assume you also get her sig
what percent of pulls do you get back in dorito chips? 
so somewhere around the expected no for v4

i just gotta believe in the heart of the cards
||and maybe whale a bit||
oh gad i wasnt paying attention and almost overkilled the boss
if i get to v5 il whale the last one
I accidentally killed the boss on t6 today zzz
now that's a proper run
woah
go to cryosleep
a stream would be nice
ugh i need 1 more peice of electric set
but it wont drop
been farming for weeks now 
for SMG? 
ah for yal that got everyone max dorm lvl do you skip the dorm gifts in events now?
thinking of skipping it to buy more materials
Uhhhh you can if you want yea
We get too much gifts
I'm Skipping rn
Cause I do dorm gacha
meanwhile me hoping for more gifts actually XDDD
bc im still not maxed and I got everything already
Hope they add this hover tank as a boss in GFL2
Tho not sure if URNC is technically advanced enough to make it in GFL2
Klukai skin gonna be customizable like Yoohee

tbh as a military hardware enjoyer i dont really like how unrealistic materiel looks in this series
a ww2 medium stands a decent chance against this monstrosity
pretty sure it cant pierce Khors force field
but when the force field is down, prolly the tank can be taken down
if its like gfl1 forcefields which are literally canonically penned by atgms, then aphe/heat muni from that era stands a chance
AT4 fires a heat warhead which is in service in tanks by mid/late war
depending on how far the forcefield is projected, penetration might cause damage to the vehicle itself
Yeah its like GFL1 forcefields
we dont have specs like equivalent steel thickness so we cant actually run the maths but i would say it seems pretty plausable
if only antartic union invested into ERA and APS systems
this is from en?
yeah
i never saw anything about klukai outfit being customizable before in cn
they getting noos before us?
No, both will get the same time
The pic is just a preview
And wont be implemented in EN Aphelion
ah
Force field is a funny thing bc they don't explain how the field would hold up by itself
Like steel and other materials is quite strong bc they have funny molecular bonds and orientation
I imagine it should work like ERA or something that will trigger an explosive on impact then energy field will burn or absorb smaller projectiles or smaller materials from the blast
well its not like they can come up with an actual scientific explaination for scifi
now you got me imagining forcefields that respect momentum transfer and when they get hit they bounce back and flatten their host 
At least an explanation for the macro mechanic
they would have to conjure some bullshit 5th force or something
Letting aside the logistics of setting up a force field
Like how can they project anything out of a box
To a half sphere
Or any particular shape
how do force field shapes even work
can you tunnel under them?
how does it know what is ground?
At best I say force field should be like a tube funneling things in front
Or any single direction
It must be stable. And cannot exert too much heat or energy
That and leaving out the question of how those things would concentrate to any location. And what happens between the projector and the shielded part
my best shot would be something like a neutrino(?) projector
when the particle decays it exerts some sort of force
if the decay is deterministic instead of halflife based then a forcefield would be possible
this would explain how they can be concentrated and what happens between the projector and the shield
call it some bullshit supersymmetric neutrino or something
There should be different philosophies of making that type of shield
If the shield is a bunch of funny particles. Then they need some way to reliably trigger that reaction in an adequate amount
Ideally by electricity
The funniest thing is some settings make the shield composed of smaller hexagons
But how
well thats why i proposed deterministic particle decay
i do remember seeing papers on subatomic particles that decay in set time, dont remember where though

Don't let your infantry go near that fun stuff
the real life stuff is baryonic matter though so no force field shenanegans
But that is
I think
Far from a lot of settings
We now propose a mechanic related to particles and matters
yeah this stuff only happens in particle colliders rn
Instead of the usual condensed energy that do something
well theres a reason its fiction
brother matter is literally condensed energy
the einstein equation that people who dont know anything about science keeps throwing around
I mean. Energy must come from something
So I get it
Otherwise it would fizzle out to the environment
thats... exactly what we want a force field to do?
oh i see what you mean
you want the force field to contain energy instead of project it
Something that. Ahem. When a projectile hits. The stored energy will act as a barrier (like any materials) then different particles would then be summoned or gathered to that location to make a temporary very short duration physical shield that will absorb the force. Stopping anything inside the warhead from a distance
The shape of the field is. Questionable in that aspect
this approach is vulnerable to lasers and any electromagnetic based attacks
its better to be emitting energy at all times to also deny laser attacks
Sadly I don't know enough about energy weapons to actually make a hypothesis about it
Laser would be funny bc. It will be very hot
lasers arent hot
they contain energy which becomes heat upon contact
so if your force field is a force (like an electromagnetic field) it wouldnt create heat when interacting with lasers
Laser by itself is not hot. Otherwise energy would be wasted just to make heat. I know
But the potential energy will be in the form of heat (not all) when interacting with other stuff instead of
Material that can be thrown around by force
ahh why does game not give me last piece for electric SMG set
at this point il take anything even if the rolls are bad
In that case I gather another good way is to divert the laser beam
Or dissipate the energy

It's 30 years later tech
Even if the rocket launcher can defeat it, it is still a 360 bubble of absolute defense
Which is today APS wetdream
exactly but how does it interact with the ground?
this is the lore we need
its not like it repels the ground
Don't know, scifi thingy
we need war thunder forum on this rn
leak us some 2090 tech
military enthusiast try not to disparage unbelievable weapons challenge (impossible)
The closest thing we are getting to a force shield is active protection systems
reacting to projectiles before sending an interceptor to cancel it out
in gfl verse ofc we are dealing with something really potent like collapse particles and reverse collapse tech, this thing is straight magic
in terms of how it might work as a barrier, I would guess it functions similarly to a APS, only "solidify" the dense barrier the moment before impact
I mean there must be a detector looking for potentially dangerous projectiles, either through the field itself or more traditional means. And you make sure it's not triggered by the ground.

Shield in the atmosphere will be quite interesting either way
Bc of how whatever is projecting interact with well. Air
Or rain
I mean it's not hard to train your sensors to ignore these
Mayling's personal shield only has enough juice for 1 activation, it has to be very conservative.
On a big tank
Or on a doll that is a walking computer that links to the device
I can imagine it working
I mean not really, we have pretty good AI right now and gfl has a lot longer plus they literally has general AI
It's mostly about energy. Or battery
she really just need a small camera to identify potential danger e.g. someone pulling out a pistol and pulls the trigger
gfl2 I think they already has plasma battery and they had graphene before it, and if you only need it to discharge one time you can do a lot better
if it's based on relic tech then all bets are off, that thing is just magic
maybe it's a really common precursor tech and we are just repurpose it for defense. It kind of explains why this thing doesn't involve too much collapse particle/fluid
i mean fighters were disguising their ieds as trees in our world
force fields requiring a detector seems like such a gimp for yourself
literally limit yourself to a APS system
lets not even mention how they let whats inside to shoot out
if they just ignore the ground, buried landmines would make short work of them
I mean not really. Since the barrier doesn't need a physical medium and just materialize in thin air it can make up for the delay from a detector
with traditional APS you have to detect something then train a interceptor toward the threat and fire at it
with barriers you just order the barrier in that general direction to materialize
even with mines, I'm pretty sure we can make it faster enough to block the fragments/metal jet once it detects a mine is triggered
our current tech is already reaching 500ish microseconds
buddy heat warheads pump their plasma at nanosecond intervals
not to mention laser pump mines or some other directed energy weapons
cant react faster than light
yeah well they have general AI, it would be a child's play to make a threat computer that's capable of predicting things
like a previous example
any detection based defence is always fallible to some weird niche option
seeing a human pulling out a gun towards you
sure but that's why you also pack armor and things
you always want a full kit
that tank looks like it would snap to a breeze
who even uses quadrapedal vehicles seriously
damage to one leg is a mobility kill
breaking tracks is much harder than legs
I recall more than half of the tigers were abandoned because mobility kill
or they simply stuck
thats the germans being stupid for terrible engineering
actually breaking tracks/tranmission through battle damage is harder than hydrolics in legs
Hydraulics can be really resilient plus you don't know if the quadrupedal is using hydraulics
could be artificial muscle which gfl humans already perfected
well I tend to give authors some leeway
if we bring out the clarketech then i cant really argue
I don't forgive if someone think of a concept without thinking about the wide implication
I mean just in tank's case
artificial muscle is a leeway I'll hand over to them
because dolls are already running on them and it's pretty resilient
the clark tech in gfl has always been relic tech
and it does have very wide impacts so I'm not too upset about it
this debate started because we were thinking about real physics
even hard sf has to introduce some kind of magic tech from time to time
the 1st rule is telling a good story
any story managed that, well most ppl won't bat an eye if it breaks logic
personally I have a 2nd rule
if you introduce something really fundamental, you have to think about the wide implications
countless SF fails at this 2nd rule
if a story passes the 2nd rule I really don't care if their device breaks physics
I would say gfl has been pretty good at passing the 2nd rule so I don't have any problem. It's the centre piece of their story after all
Sadly my field is very much unrelated to physic
Or mechanical engineering
https://www.sciencenews.org/ this site is pretty good for keeping track of new discoveries in various fields
they usually let the scientists do the explaining so theres no journalists misreporting
and the papers are cited
Good site. I mostly read things that are tied to my work. So mainly just web of science
The bp ones
you cant keep bp wep box
Oh, so the ones you have are all the store bought ones?

mine is related to dark energies of the universe, am i qualified enough yet

ye
Zhao's achievement is so fucking annoying
you basically need SF to babysit her
does clearing everything gives enough to empty the shop
no i dont think its enough
