We're at an impasse and I'm going to agree to disagree here. Specifically on them being used without much regard for accuracy because that just seems nonsensical. The whole goal of shooting at a thing (or a person) is to hit it (or them). Firing at random just wastes ammo and doesn't help the war effort. As for "used to excess", how do you define what's excessive? Certainly an artillery battery will not keep firing once the target has been killed. And as for the cluster munitions being devastating to civilian populations well after the war ends, so are mines and no one is complaining about either side using those. Not to mention the Russians started using cluster munitions first so if anything this is just achieving force parity.
Easy. A single artillery shell will likely miss, meaning you need to use more of them. Cluster munitions hit a wide area, and therefore you need to use less of them. It's like using a shotgun vs a rifle. I'd highly recommend this video for more information.
Cluster bombs are highly effective at what they're using them for. And the alternative is mines. Neither is exactly civilian friendly, but at least this way the failure rates are lower and the bombs you're leaving behind are actually being targeted at something instead of buried and forgotten.
This is wildly clickbaity. We've known forever that mammals existed alongside dinosaurs. Calling it a "human ancestor" is a bit misleading when really it's more like a rat/cat/dog than a hominid of any kind.
I definitely followed all of the marketing and was expecting about 3 or 4 more skill trees, more meaningful choices in side quests, and generally a more living world. Plus like, 20 hours of gameplay that got cut out and turned into a cutscene.
A tankie is someone who supports the CCP or unironically supports the USSR/Russia. They're generally authoritarian leftists. The term tankie comes from the tanks used to crush people at Tianamen Square
I hope they're able to bring them back up. Must be terrifying trapped on the sea floor. But also... seriously questioning the decision making process these supposedly super successful people go through.
I don't understand, clean nuclear power has never been easier. Why not just build some current gen nuke plants?
