  1. Photoshop (Adobe) takes a lot of scratch disk space. One of the reasons I changed to the Affinity Suite. It was not only their outrageous subscription model. I run all of CM with no problems whatsoever.
  2. After two years the pattern becomes obvious. Armored Maneuver warfare with a near peer adversary is becoming more challenging. Operation Bagration today would be impossible to carry out to its conclusion. The front is pretty static.
  3. When in the US they played a Gridiron Final the seagulls around the communication tower near a place called Carnarvon in West Australia reputedly dropped dead from the sky.
  4. Just about every person winning a presidential election was a very wealthy person. Middle class people have two hopes Bob Hope and No Hope.
  5. Sometimes I think I am dreaming a bad dream, I know that the country of Europe's greatest thinkers also descended in a horrible abyss, and I think we are about to witness a similar situation.
  6. He and Biden are the symptoms, only geriatrics can be found to run for the job. Yes it is the fall of an empire without a civilization. it had some brilliant scientists who made up for a while.
  7. David Fletcher of the tank museum. Had a pearler, if you disagree with me you better keep it for yourself.
  8. Like photos in the JPEG format are no longer admissible as evidence and videos are heading the same way. Its purpose is not only to present facts but also misinformation.
  9. Like the Sherman in WW2 it was lighter and cheaper and there were a lot more of them. Nowadays tanks require a very skilled crew to man them and attrition warfare with them is not an option. Cheaper and lighter with no crew is the option I think.
  10. Battlefront quoted Unmanned Ground Vehicles. Using present tanks is fighting the last war. We can hypothese what we like but compared with the past. Much more urban combined with high tech. The superpowers of WW2 don't exactly shine in the Post WW2 20th and 21st century. Smaller military 2nd rate nations defended themselves successfully. At least politically they came out on top.
  11. The tanks in the conflict are already 30 years or more years old. The Centurion and M60 had their Swansong during the Yom Kippur war. Something will come up to counter the present challenges.
  12. Few years ago 25 pdrs got rid of a Stug III. A direct hit is modelled. The Stug ia roughly 3 by 2 meters while an action square is 8 by 8 meters so the odds are even if a shell hits the action square the odds are. 1:10 to hit the AFV itself let alone an HE on the engine deck. Would a WW2 HE shell penetrate its top armor?
  13. You don't negotiate with a dog with rabies, you put it down. I apologize to all dogs who suffer from rabies.
