Fucking, HOW!?

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 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.

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.

I hate this timeline. How do we make so much progress only to stumble when the idiots are hung up on fake issues to an extent that they're willing to fundamentally change the country.

It is entirely their purpose, but you will never know about it publicly. Everything related to space is classified to the highest degree at this point in time.

I've searched (not researched) a little bit and it appears that the categories that they may be referring to are petroleum products, coal, nuclear, and then renewables.

It starts out super concentrated and spreads out at a 35-45 degree angle from the end of the gun tube and becomes less concentrated the further out it gets. There's a chance it wouldn't hit somebody a hundred meters out but anybody left would get hit with the coaxial mounted machine gun.

Fear and anger with absolutely no critical thought put into the issues. The two most primal feelings somebody can have.
