Puts a crimp on my blog fodder.
More Far Cry 5.
The M-14 and M1A variants in the game, SUCK. Didn't the developers know that that gun hits like a bolt out of the blue? Pah! It feels like a .32 ACP in game.
And it take TWO shots from the bolt action .50 cal to put down a bear.
Lesser calibers you shoot a deer it jumps and runs. And there are actual blood trails to follow. Pretty neat.

Brilliant plans to win WWII.
I love stuff like that. Well, loved. Like, now.
As a kid and budding war historian, I went over and over various mental scenarios like "If the Germans had two dozen more U-Boats in the fall of 1939... they'd have won the war!" or "If Stalin hadn't murdered as many Generals the war wouldn't have seen 1943." If. Only if.
No. The war would have been different maybe. Maybe. Anyway, this video series goes over some plans that fell short. And the folly of the 'what ifs' to reality. Still interesting to think about, tho.
When I was younger I thought that if the Germans had captured Moscow they would have won. Uh...no. I don't think there was ANY way Germany could have beaten the USSR. The Soviets would have just fallen back until the Germans finally ran out of steam. You know, like they actually did before the gates of Moscow. Reading about the logistics of WW2 is very enlightening.
ReplyDeleteAlways wondered what if Germany had aircraft carriers.
ReplyDeleteBut, looking in hind sight, the German navy really petered out.
Bismark, Tirpitz, Graf Spee all huge disappointments and underused.
