@@KonigHoff I disagree. Vietnam, with the massive casualties and conscription sending kids to die in a godforsaken jungle, left a scar on this country that Afghanistan never did. And yet, we survived. I might have agreed with you that u.s. influence was going to decline, just as a natural consequence of the world becoming multipolar again, before the Ukraine War. Now look at the state of things. Russia, a traditional rival, brought to its fucking knees. Europe buying more gas from us than Russia! America has become the arsenal of democracy again and we've shown our shit is top tier.

@@asasas9146 Why not

[@asasas9146]

@@Holidaypunch1 Because the TIE Fighter is arguably worse than a WW2 Fighter, or at least it does not have any clear advantage over it: -For one the speed seem to be either slower or similar. -It has worse maneubravility. -Worse visibility thanks to huge wings and no radar whatsoever (just an aimer). -And the muzzle velocity of his laser weapon is dramatically slower than in WW2 firearms, making it much harder to hit a Soviet plane, while the opposite is for said Soviet plane. I wouldn't say it will necessarily be a slaughter, but the odds doesn't look good.

[@epistemo3442]

Wrong, the TIE Fighter is far better than a WW2 Fighter. -For one the speed seem to be either slower or similar. Nope, it isn't slower than a WW2 fighter. This is how fast your SW starfighter within the atmosphere of a planet. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWrSYYiIociVbNE Compare this to a jet fighter. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZjPYplsnsZqpZo It's obvious which is faster. -It has worse maneubravility That's wrong. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoqthmaGpJtjsLc Show me a WW2 fighter that had similar maneuverability as this one. -Worse visibility thanks to huge wings and no radar whatsoever (just an aimer). They do have radar. It just that all Imperial Starships including the smallest one-man fighters, incorporate sensor jamming equipment. According to SWICS, advanced TIE fighters employ sophisticated sensor suites that "must overcome the extremely powerful jamming signals used by all combat craft". The Death Star also employed "hundreds of Kuat Drive Yards 220-SIG tactical jammers" that prevented the attacking X-Wings from being able to use their onboard sensors (ref. SWEGWT). And of course, the Imperial fleet broadcast so much sensor interference during the Battle of Endor that the Rebel fleet was unable to determine whether the DS2 shield was up or down until they destroyed the fleet's primary communications ship (ref. ROTJ novelization). This is why high-powered jammers inevitably reduce combat ranges to visual sighting ranges; it is impossible to target ships at long range through a blanket of white noise, but a combination of sensor targeting and manual control can be more effective at close range. -And the muzzle velocity of his laser weapon is dramatically slower than in WW2 firearms, making it much harder to hit a Soviet plane, while the opposite is for said Soviet plane. Nope, even a mere laser cannon is far faster than anything that WW2 weaponry possess. A blaster bolt is pretty fast. There's the battle of Ringo Vinda from TCW: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIfYoZhonKhlfKM At this particular timeframe, you could clearly see that the blaster bolts are even way more faster than the starfighters. Furthermore, it should be noted that starships in atmosphere are capable of moving speeds such as this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWrSYYiIociVbNE Compare this to a Jet Fighter. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZjPYplsnsZqpZo There are many other examples such as the Battle of Teth, Battle of Geonosis, Battle of Kashyyyk, and many other such situations. In which we do see blaster bolts going faster than the number that you had listed. Battle of Teth: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqirh6aNiK-grJY You can see at the beginning itself, blaster bolts from B1 droid carbines and Clone Trooper rifles travelling several hundred metres down/up the cliff face in an instant. Battle of Geonisis: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWjSd4ycrbymfMk From 1:10 onward you can see Clone Troopers and battle droids exchange small arms fire across a vast distance. Those core ships on the far side are 696 metres in diameter. You can get the distance using them as a reference. There is another such scene 2:18 onward, where you can see Clone small arms fire traversing a vast distance of several hundred metres (or more) in an instant. Battle of Kashyyyk: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYPVfoNopr5sbKs In the last half minute (1:50), there is a scene where Clone Troopers in a Wroshyr tree can be seen firing at advancing CIS forces in the water. You can clearly see their blaster bolts travelling hundreds of metres instantly. A laser cannon would be faster than your blaster bolt. A Star Wars military starfighter would destroy and annihilate every single type of WW2 fighters with such utter ease by the facts that I had presented.

I do love whenever Alex says “why can I not beat them” meanwhile you take a look at the supplies of his units and they are all yellow or red. Without having pressed the button that makes it so that his armies will stop getting supplies with horses A good thing to do is when you cannot push press f4 NOT alt-f4 since f4 is the supply map so you can see where you have shit supplies, and also use trucks instead of horses for transporting supplies from the supply hubs. There is a button on the field marshal (and any army but that is not as important) in the top left where it shows a horse if you click on that it turns into a truck and if you click again it turns into a double truck icon, which means that they will use extra trucks (which is not much) to get supplies and supply hubs will work in an increased distance. The supply hubs also have this button but then you would have to micro a lot more since pressing the button on the field marshal makes it so that all the armies will get supplies with double trucks instead of horses

[@shenmansson9615]

they are able too protect the stormtrooper from anything we have. there armor is not as bad like the movies shows, they are more effective than most think. but remember anything you see in the movies happends because the plot demands it. in legend books and others you can see that stormtroppers armor aare very effective against anything. and remember in the george lucas movies it was an inside joke that the stormtroopers can`t hit anything or that there armor is useless against anything. they are not they wear the armor because it is very protective and they can hit targets very well. but it can`t be shown in movies because so the empire would easily defeat anything.
