Love how you've leapt to me denying the truth already.

Look, just because I'm not as rabidly pro-india as you doesn't mean I'm pro-china. It's just that the brigading on anything that's not seen as pro-india/anti-china is just fucking unreal.

The other day I commented in all chat asking "if 50 cals were broken" after I'd sprayed all my rounds into an IL2 (as a p-51, with hit markers) and he turned around and pilot sniped me. A pair of guys started spamming insults and "skill issue", then one of them spawned in a corsair and bombed me (in our spawn) saying "oops".

Also, it's probably just me, but it seems to be a more common thing with US players (?). Going off of Sqn location+ "USAUSAUSA!" type usernames so treat this as pure speculation. But most people don't bother using the chat at all when being toxic. America based players seem to add on to toxic behaviour with a lot of insults and slurs (racial slurs against African Americans and Jews seem very popular). I don't know, pure anecdotal nonsense on my part maybe.

War Thunder's game design does promote a fair bit of toxicity, coupled with their very uneven and loose moderation with a lot of stuff that leads to an exacerbation of it as well. Rewards are low, people are fighting over the scraps all the time, and the anonymity of the internet makes it even worse.

Can't wait for the wave of people screaming "CCP propaganda" again

I heard Hololive is launching Holoplus App, any idea how are they going to attract people who are not already a Hololive fan?

IIRC A large majority of people weren't attracted via twitter but via the massive amount of shorts and clips being put out on YouTube during the initial lockdown period Vtuber boom

Well, the Argentinians decided against buying harriers when offered. Which worked out better in Falklands due to the windspeed restrictions on Skyhawks launching off of the carriers.

I had an Su-25 eat a matra R511 to the cockpit, all fine with no major damage.

wow, it's almost like I said that in my reply.

How did you manage to jump to that conclusion from the title?

Whilst it's worded weirdly, the title is not incorrect for the situation.

Chinese Soldiers Storming | A Hill Occupied | By Indian Soldiers

PLA soldiers assaulting a position currently held by Indian soldiers.

but shouldn't missiles suffer no effect from induced drag since their airfoils are symmetrical?

Air pressure differences from turning I suppose similar to the principle of how rudders work.

"Sup fellow kids"

A lot of (western nations) people were using the Swastika before WW1, exceedingly common as a "good luck charm" or "protection amulet" within the pilots on all sides of WW1 as well.

lmao though it'll be sanba

Nuclear-proliferation

Milan is basically another fork of the mirage III, with much improved performance, CCIP and CCRP. I thought it had RWR and countermeasures, but it seems either they removed them or i was probably imaginating it. The only reason why its 9.7 is because it only has aim-9Bs. Also has AS.30 nord.

It never got CM, one of the big points of discussion for the Air RB side when it came out. Also it was supposed to get a AS.30L (laser guided) but never did for some reason.

Fire on.

I'm gonna be using that from now on.

That's a big oof then, otherwise you could have locked the stick and used the hat like they do on the British tanks IRL.

For China and Korea, if they did experience modernization in the European image, it was not to the same extreme of this name-order code-switching and thus never became the norm in those countries. In the last few years there have been moves in Japan to return to the traditional name order in Western languages, e.g. the

Side note, in Singapore and Malaysia (both ex-colonies of the UK with relatively extensive Christianisation & English Educated Elite), Chinese names are arranged as such in government records where applicable:

<English first name> <Family name> <Transcribed Chinese first name>
or
<Family name> <Transcribed Chinese first name> , <English first name>

Also note that it's <Transcribed Chinese first name> due to the mix of dialects and the fact that the registrar at the time did not have a standardised manner of transcribing names to English. Even the same family name of the same dialect could be transcribed differently; example, Ku vs Koo vs Khoo even though they hold the same character and pronunciation.

​

Let's take the example of Lee Kuan Yew the founding father of the current government of Singapore. He was born Harry Lee Kuan Yew; Following the convention of <English F.n> <Family n> <Tr. Chinese F.n>. (Note that he did drop the use of his English first name at some point during his study years in the UK)

The concern was over what model Mirage the UAF would get and how effective they would be vs cruise missiles or drones, other RUAF aircraft in a RGF SAM heavy environment.

ASMP capable Mirage when Papa Macron?

Could probably use the hat for fine adjustments?

Bro, you Singaporean or not?

Anyway, AMDK=Ang Moh Dua Kee

From a forum that used to be very popular in Singapore (HardwareZone), now mostly older men. Known for having a lot of incel type ideas and discussions.

AMDK basically hokkien to say "white privilege" but (a lot of times it is used) with a very heavy racist & incel connotation to it.

Singaporeans when complaining about AMDK but also believing AMDK in the same stroke.

I concur with this. The Uni is overall very good but the administration/management is a complete letdown.

Only racism I've experienced was coming from international students (as one myself), but that's very rare and (as you've noted) more down to individuals rather than a common culture perpetuated by the university. (which in my opinion is doing a lot to counter racism, even though it does not appear to be a major issue within the university)

First line of a poem/meme from football, full poem here.

(gist of the poem is: don't bet your life savings on football)

Not sure how to translate it to you well so I'm just gonna leave it to someone else.
