Astonishing that pedophilia has become "Too big to fail."

@PancakeNation12 @RABBIT_1419 @dauzlee04 Modern nuclear subs are quieter than WW2 subs while being many times as heavy and having effectively infinite submerged performance by comparison.

[Owen Eason @OwenEason2]

@PancakeNation12 @RABBIT_1419 @dauzlee04 Only modern ones, and they still make a lot of noise in absolute terms, but they are quiet enough to be difficult to detect.

WW2 subs were very loud and had terrible submerged performance which made them extremely vulnerable to even the crude ASW of the time.

[Owen Eason @OwenEason2]

@PancakeNation12 @RABBIT_1419 @dauzlee04 In addition to being loud, WW2 subs were also tiny and had zero submerged speed or endurance.

Allied airborne microwave radar later in the war resulted in U-boats getting absolutely slaughtered, never mind modern ASW equipment.

@PancakeNation12 @RABBIT_1419 @dauzlee04 Random unsourced graph not from what I linked lmao.

Got an RPM vs. speed chart for your unlabeled and hence meaningless data?

[Owen Eason @OwenEason2]

@PancakeNation12 @RABBIT_1419 @dauzlee04 Illiterate.

[Owen Eason @OwenEason2]

@PancakeNation12 @RABBIT_1419 @dauzlee04 Modern diesel electric subs are challenging to find with modern ASW equipment.

[Owen Eason @OwenEason2]

@PancakeNation12 @RABBIT_1419 @dauzlee04 They also have vastly better sensors, are much more reliable, and can actually operate submerged for long periods of time at relatively high speed.

WW2 subs were made obsolete by advances in allied ASW that happened in WW2.

[Owen Eason @OwenEason2]

@PancakeNation12 @FrostLegion860 @CentristMillen1 No.

Also, imagine being such a clod of ignorant dirt you can't read a simple article with dB figures and see WW2 diesel subs were much louder than modern nuclear subs.

Definitely the first prototype to be so.

[Torsadé @Torsade2pointe]

@BurnerOwen @naturalbornv @EraShy072 It also was notoriously unreliable

[Owen Eason @OwenEason2]

@EraShy072 @exiledDuelist You seem to be under the mistaken impression that you can block me on my website, little westoid internet being.

I'm here to disabuse you of the notion, and I will stop being nice if you try again.

@GuyYoung436461 @BurnerOwen @JB02996107 @AndreiBtvt Armor is certainly still useful for stopping blast, fragmentation, and guns. Stopping HEAT and EFPs just isn't practical when they can come from any angle.

[Owen Eason @OwenEason2]

@GuyYoung436461 @BurnerOwen @JB02996107 @AndreiBtvt To go back to stand off: ERA works by impacting the HEAT warhead before it finishes forming a jet, greatly reducing penetration. Simply increasing the stand off a bit defeats ERA at the cost of moderate penetration loss. Moderate loss is fine when not targeting frontal armor.

@GuyYoung436461 @BurnerOwen @JB02996107 @AndreiBtvt We may have already passed that point. Musk is popular among such people, go look what he thinks about tanks.

[Owen Eason @OwenEason2]

@GuyYoung436461 @BurnerOwen @JB02996107 @AndreiBtvt I already said that it could be done.

Random idiots on the street aren't capable of writing the software you are proposing, it actually isn't easy to do at all. At some point everyone smart enough to write such software is smart enough to see it's pointless.

[Owen Eason @OwenEason2]

@GuyYoung436461 @BurnerOwen @JB02996107 @AndreiBtvt APSs really only make sense in the context of stopping RPGs (40s tech) where hits are rare and shots are costly for the enemy.

[Owen Eason @OwenEason2]

@GuyYoung436461 @BurnerOwen @JB02996107 @AndreiBtvt Against a weapon capable of getting a square hit on top of a tank (a comically low bar these days, but still rarely met reliably), tanks almost might as well be unarmored, which is the issue.

[Owen Eason @OwenEason2]

@GuyYoung436461 @BurnerOwen @JB02996107 @AndreiBtvt A bunch of times in Lebanon and Gaza and possibly in Ukraine as well.

The record is far from perfect even against the RPGs they were designed to stop, hard to say exactly how imperfect.
