Well you have to understand, Soviet Russia beat the US in the Space Race by sending cosmonauts with pencils. The Americans spent tens of millions of dollars developing a pen that works in space. They are wasteful. It's not like pencils create any graphite dust that could potentially clog the air filters on MIR.
Wild picture, that reminds me, did you know that in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through a Torpolev Tu-95?
Already anticipated by the Ukrainians as they wheel out their newest anti-plane drones.
Fitted with a bouncy ball on the ventral side of the drone to allow for "skipping" into place under the plane prior to upward thrusting.
Sometimes the charge goes off immediately, sometimes it takes a little floorplay to prime. Preliminary testing has resulted in 9/10 devastated planes and 1/10 hybrid plane/drone offspring with a nuclear family.
Vintage Story allows you to skip stones off of water, because they decided to model that. I wonder what the modeling code of a drone skipping across a battlefield looks like.
The only thing that makes me even a bit sad is that much like the Anotov AN-225 Mriya, these Russian versions of the US BUFF can't be replaced.
I don't approve of what they have been used for, and don't approve of their use at all. Much like I don't approve of the US using their B-52s, aka Big Ugly Fat Fucker, aka BUFF.
I hope Ukraine manages to force a Russian surrender before all of the examples of halfway decent Soviet engineering are destroyed. We need to keep some of them, if only as examples of what NOT TO DO.
