It can stem a good cultural discussion. However, pople can't and shouldn't take it to heart.
Iran said 300 depicts the Persians in a bad light, and it is a VERY inaccurate representation of the Greeks/Spartans as believers of freedom, when they actually sported a contingent of over 900 Helots during the Battle of Themopylae.
I could argue that every single depiction of the Battle of El Alamo in popular media is negative towards the Mexicans.
We have to remember it is a work of fiction. It is a subjective work of entertainment, and nothing more. Its not a documentary, and no matter how authentic it paints itself to be, accuracy is not the main goal.
PS: You can never truly win in a work of fiction, especially about war. Liberals will say war is a horrible subject matter, conservative military enthusiats will sya it is inaccurate, etc...

You cant appreciate Pacific Rim with a logical approach. Its not meant to be logical, it is in fact meant to be absurd. It's supposed to be cheesy, cliché and inconsistent.
Logically speaking, a robot of that size would NEVER be able to sustain itself, it would crumble under its own weight. Furthermore, the explosive power of a single cruise missile is larger than the best punch a robot of that size can pull off.
Watch any Kaiju movie or TV Show... it doesn't make any sense. Power Rangers, Godzilla, Ultraman, Voltron, Mazinger Z and Evangelion, all of them make no sense. It requires you to forget about being an adult making sense of things, and buy into the fantasy of watching big ass machines, wrestling with big ass robots.
I am the first to admit there's plenty of inconsistencies in the film. I could make a VERY long list that I found, but in the end, watching a big robot rocket punch a giant lizard is worth the suspension of belief. I admit though, it is not a movie for everyone  |

I am considering entering Computer Science as a second degree. What level of math would you recommend to enter the degree? I know they reinforce it entering the program, but in order to struggle less, would you recommend being proficient in pre-Calculus or all the way up to Calculus? |

I'd wait.
It is the most expensive component of your entire computer, usually, and you want it to be in the best quality possible. Why save all of that money to get it used?
As for the 770 and OC'ing: Overclocking will kill your parts quicker, there's no doubt about that. How fast, no one knows for sure, but it degrades the components faster. You will not get to charge the warranty if you accidentally mess something up overclocking.
If you purchase an overclocked model from ASUS though, you will most likely have a warranty for that, and it is already overclocked. Like you said: You got the money, and you want it. Patience is king.

Pacific Rim was a very nice love poem to a very niche genre. I think movie studios should support more movies like it.
Being mexican and loving Guillermo del Toro I may be biased but Pan's Labyrinth(El Laberinto del Fauno) is a masterpiece of fantasy for adults.
No Country for Old Men is also a spectacular film. Atlhough having some anachronisms in their weapons selection, the way in which they handle the guns is very authentic. Any film with Javier Bardem is worth it, if only for his acting (I'm looking at you, Skyfall).
All that being said and done, if any of your are appreciative of animated films then Studio Ghibli, Hayao Miyazaki's works in particular, are amazing for plot structure and character design:
Spirited Away
Princess Mononoke
My Neighbor Totoro
Howl's Moving Castle
Castle Cogliostro.
All great movies.

well, you can 'hack' the SLI to work via NvidiaInspector. It causes all of the snow to flicker to an insane degree, but it doubled my FPS....
Then why enable it? You get SLi so you can get the best FPS at the best graphical quality. If having better FPS sacrifices your graphical quality, you might as well just lower the graphics, or disable SLi altogether.
If the game is not properly optimized, you can get workarounds, but its still won't be optimized. |
Lol just at this. german sniper can't counter snipe and armoured cars get murdered by su-85's. It really doesnt take that much skill for him to keep his snipers alive till his su85 comes out. You might get veeery lucky with a mortar hit but other than that its hard to kill soviet snipers controlled by a reasonably skilled opponent.
Read the post again: Go for panzerwerfers if you can. I play 2v2's mostly, where the SU-85 is much, MUCH more spammable, and sdkfz 222's can still outflank the enemy snipers, especially if you send a recon run out there to survey. If the SU-85 shot your scout car before you shoot the sniper away, then you are doing it wrong.
Many times, simply killing that one sniper will discourage the player for building another one, for fear of losing that much manpower. Without snipers, maxims can be taken out with indirect fire barrages and smoke. In fact, smoke will most like force the SU-85 to back up or relocate, because it loses its true advantage: range.

Its ranged should be reduced, NOT so it can be fausted, but so it can be shrekked. It currently outranges shreks. Its a T3 high mobility unit, it should be hard to faust.
Its true that the T70 becomes obsolete against german tanks, but the same could be said of the Flamer HT for instance: which costs a lot more to field if you factor the munitions required.
I usually the T70 as a unit that most likely WILL die, but if you have TWO minutes with it on the field, you can decimate your opponent. Use those two minutes (if you get five, thats a VERY long time) to destroy anything the German army has that can support their tanks: MG's make the best targets, since they can stop your AT Nades from approaching.
Yes, it is true that getting the T70 slows you down for T4. Allow me to retort: Any Ostheer player MUST go through the three tiers nowadays. They must spend escalation resources AND the building cost to get to Tier 3. You don't.
A single T34 can stop the first P4 by immoblizing it and, if you know you are going T3 will slow your SU-85's, then why not start with a tier that gives you some AT? The ZiS works wonders if the enemy tank is immobilized AND your T70 destroy any infantry trying to approach it. |

The Ram ability for the T34 is not "technically" free. If you use it, your tank will be vastly underpowered until you repair it. That's a pseudo cost, since ti reduces your field presence slightly.
The SU-85 is not low on mobility. It doesn't have a turret, but its maneuverability is fairly high for a tank that hits that hard, that far. A smart Soviet player doesn't leave his flanks very open, but there is ALWAYS a weak spot in the enemy army's composition and positioning.
If the enemy has a Maxim or sniper supporting it, then either the Soviet is outplaying you (that sniper should be dead by then) or he has a lot of resources and it is late game. If you can reach T4, a Panzerwerfer can decimate the support units, leaving the SU-85 vulnerable. DONT use off map bombardment: they are too obvious and easy to dodge. |

Conscripts versus Grenadiers are fine. People have gotten used to the playstyle and they beat each other pretty equally. At the very beginning, I tend to consider Conscripts more powerful, which is why stalling tactics are a go, unless Im supported.
It is true that the Ostheer has access to better specialized non-doctrinal units, but they come at a cost: As Ostheer, you must build them at a very precise time, and in a very systematic order, otherwise it can cost you the game. If you chose to build PGrens when you needed a Flame HT, you are two steps behind the Soviets. If you chose an Ostwind and he went for an SU-85, you are two steps behind.
All in all, the Ostheer is less forgiving, but if you manage to have strong combnied arms in your army, you become very lethal (its part of your job as a Soviet to eliminate those combined arms ASAP).
UGBEAR: The LMG is NOT an issue. You can choose it form the beginning of the game, but a clown car with snipers will turn your 60 munition investment to dust. A Maxim will turn it to dust. They are also VERY vulnerable to molotovs: if you choose to fight back with it, you get burned. If you dodge the molotov, you can't fire the LMG.
By choosing the LMG very early, you forgo mines, flamers and panzerfausts. Good luck fighting a smart Soviet like that. |
