Did the Waffen SS have good combat performance in the war, or did they suck?

Kinda mediocre, actually. The SS were political troops chosen for loyalty and fanaticism rather than competence and skill. This tended to make the Waffen SS aggressive but unskilled, often attacking difficult targets without sufficient forces or a realistic plan.
>>
>>59729397
I think generally Fallschrimjagers were considered more dangerous and elite than the SS by the average allied grunt.

Its exploded at like 15 meters height. Still produced mushroom cloud with soil.

155mm HE rounds at 5 meters airburst make just smoke puffs

Its 3000kg if not more.

Russians started adding ball bearings to their FAB series of gravity bombs. Probably 5mm and 12mm steel IIRC.

Coalition from hell. Spain brings nothing while France and Germany are impossible to work with. Even MGCS is looking doubtful which is a much simpler project. Expecting France to ditch Germany and Spain sooner or later and seek other partners (who though?).

Lol, lmao even. Very best case scenario they build a few prototypes, lie about their performance, and are never seen again, whilst pajeets in youtube comment sections praise the bogus performance numbers for decades to come.

This will be the definitive 6th gen fighter by which everything else is measured. Unlikely to be exported though. Maybe a gibbed version will make it's way to export 20 years after it enters service.
>GCAP
On paper they have everything they need to succeed and it seems to be proceeding well so far. It's the only non-American project I'm optimistic about and if successful will likely become the primary export plane of the generation.
>J-28
Hugely sceptical but I won't dismiss it. There's too many question marks around Chinese aircraft for me to be certain. At least they'll produce a lot of them?

The radio silence on the project makes me think it's been canned but maybe I've just missed something. Mainly I don't trust boeing kek.

The main idea behind all these 6th gen aircraft is networking and unmanned wingmen drones. It is a system made up of smaller individual systems.

Boeing hasn't won or anything, so not sure why you're worried before they've even been selected


> the Navy announced Aug. 26 that Boeing, Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman are in the running for the airframe, while GE Aerospace and Pratt & Whitney are competing for the engine.


> In July, the White House connected the F/A-XX program with a special access program in the budget called Link Plumeria. This classified program is the Pentagon’s fourth-largest research and development program, with $11.5 billion for fiscal 2023-27 included in the Defense Department’s recent budget request.

The further development made me switch out a chemical which ended up in a brown color, I wish it would still look as your version ;_; But I take the brown pill to get that crazy >100% performance improvment,lol. Pic related another day of rain to fuck up out test sample, so heavy our sunshade ropes got torn from wind KEK. In the background you see DRI, industrial subformulation (diluted DRI) and that brown rust spot on the left is our friend Eezox. Stopped counting what the plate in the front did, maybe its the 10th time getting rained

Isn't that quite literally just going back to .30 Luger?
That said, I kinda wish that had stayed around. It would be pretty interesting to see what some .30 Luger +Ps could do.

>>59729508
Mind you none of the guns that I applied this to have rusted but I also haven't gotten them that wet yet. I'll probably start applying this to more going forward though since I think I will be shooting in the rain a lot more.
>>
>>59729563
Your version might not be as strong as the release version but its 100% doing the job. Last week I talked to a fluid scientist about oversea performance again salt water and he told me everything above 24h is G2G to be used as a rust protection for the ship transport, your version is >30h and the new is around 100h IMAO. Gonna send you some more once we got our 1st production in AZ, including some of my carolina reaper seeds ;) I wonder what effect it got when used inside a gun, like using it for dead/non-moving parts inside handguns or a BCG. Would be based if the dry film is able to separate the carbon from the surface to make it easy cleaning

>>59727129
Within moderation it's never bad to have more infantry. In fact having too little infantry at the start of the war is a trouble all western armies have struggled with. And they will continue to suffer it because the risk:return ratio for other weapons systems is better, leading us to invest there, but they don't replace the need for infantry. Adding an extra platoon to every infantry company and an extra infantry battalion to every brigade would be great for commanders.

But without the rest of the system, air power, arty, etc, it would be a waste. Unless you're next door to the enemy or have teleporters to get there, you need the full combined arms plus logistics or you can forget about 80% of offensive operations and 50% of defensive ones.
