A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.
2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes
If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.
3. Content must be relevant
Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.
4. No racism / hatespeech
No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.
5. No politics
We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.
6. No seriousposting
We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.
7. No classified material
Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.
8. Source artwork
If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.
9. No low-effort posts
No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.
10. Don't get us banned
No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
11. No misinformation
NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.

Gun can miss. The ground doesnt.
Unless you are in orbit
Weeeellll, orbits do decay. Orbiting is essentially just trying to hit the ground and missing by a little less on each successive orbit
I'd argue that means the ground is constantly missing, but gets lucky once.
Vortex ring can be escaped by speeding up,
The gun still tracks you
Don't think so, if you increase thrust, you increase your downward force since it reenforces the vortex. You need to try to lurch forward out of the ring.
Yes, speeding up (above 60kt i believe), not speeding upwards.
Increasing torque doesn't help because it doesn't change the conditions of what caused it.
Tbh im just happy they aren't calling it settling with power, which to me is just CFIT.
The way it was explained to me was to try and shove the cyclic through the windscreen. Full forwards.
Are the posts on this sub based on any particular source? Some of the memes are just about current events but others seem to require extremely diverse, specific knowledge on the details of a bunch of different wars.
