Fucking, HOW!?

From experience, you're not wrong. Let's be honest, being a service member doesn't separate them from their faults as humans. You take an undereducated kid from Mississippi and make him a Soldier, they're still that undereducated kid with no critical reasoning skills.

The cage is supposed to detonate the heat round (which both the rpg and javelin have to some extent) prior to impacting the actual armor. There's usually a shaped charge in the round and a stand off with the primer in it that ignites the round at the convergence point of the shaped charge. If you set that off prior to the round hitting the armor it'll just splatter against the armor rather than penetrate it. Some weapons have a tandem charge, that has two shaped charges to help it get through ERA or I imagine cope cages.

Man, those guys are good. Looks like they line up a perfect shot to hit where the turret joins the hull.

I'm a product of the Idaho education system, and it's not great. Luckily got a start in Washington, so it didn't ruin me completely. But that result does not surprise me at all.

I agree, if the point had been we didn't have enough energy storage at the grid scale to accommodate the excess power I would agree with that. Instead, it points out the price.

There is no place in government for this bullshit... I'm so tired of these idiots being voted for.

As others have said, you can't passively bypass GNSS jamming. The signal more or less has the same amount of power as a 60 watt light bulb, transmitted from a satellite out in Medium Earth Orbit. You throw enough energy at the same frequency as the signal and it's over. There are ways to improve the receivers resilience by giving it more signals to connect to (GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou) or several signals being transmitted by the same constellation (L1, L2, L5).

Also, many different systems occupy pretty much the same frequencies, just with different characteristics which makes all the signals more susceptible.

The whole purpose of the log is to help the vehicle get through mud. Here's a short video: Russian Logs

Nobody wants to be a pig, or live in Louisiana.

Maybe I'm less principled than the rest of you, but regardless of drm or anti-cheat, this game is the most fun I've had with a group of friends. I've found the game playable with a few glitches here and there, but that hasn't prevented me from having a great time.
