Who was more evil, Hitler or Stalin?
We are going into an in-depth study of World War 2 in our History class. We are currently talking about the tactics of Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler. I know Russia fought with the Allies, while Hitler, along with Germany, fought on the Axis of Evil. But Stalin also murdered many of his people. Maybe even more Jews than Hitler killed, but I don't know that for a fact. Anyway, my question: Please tell me who you think is the more evil person of the two. And please leave a little note why. Just wondering, and please no pointless or racist comments. I really am interested to hear what you say!
Can a bullet coming down from the air penetrate my roof?
A simple answer is that if you fire a bullet straight up in the air, it will return to your level at the same velocity as when it left your barrel. If you fire at an angle, you need to find the vertical velocity from your gun and that is the velocity it will return to your level... If you shoot a .30-06 bullet, it leaves your muzzle at 2910 fps, or Mach 2.5 (2.5 x's the speed of sound). If you shoot it straight up, it will return to you at Mach 2.5 and yes, can easily penetrate your roof. Gravity is 32.17 ft/sec sq so it would return to you about 3 minutes later.
Why does the US Navy's RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Missile spin along its axis like a stabilized projectile even though it needs to maneuver and adjust its trajectory to hit evasive supersonic targets?
In the AIM-9, which shares a lot of heritage with the RAM, the seeker itself is spun to execute the scan. Within the scan there is a “pitch” channel and a “yaw” channel aligned with the control fins. The angle off seeker boresight is calculated for both pitch and yaw, with this angle used to calculate the corresponding deflection.In the RAM the entire airframe is spun and there is only one guidance channel. Only one set of guidance fins, out of the two orthogonal sets has actuators, the other set is fixed. As the missile spins the seeker continuously measures the off angle and generates a fin deflection. So… one seeker, one channel of computation, one set of actuators, etc! That makes for a guidance section that costs something close to 50% of the costs of a conventional, spin stabilized two-channel guidance section. And you get this by setting the fixed fins to spin the airframe!
What is something you find VERY annoying in hoi4?
Peace ConferencesI swear to god this is broken. Alright. I played a game where I was France. I went Fascist, allied Italy and Czechoslovakia, then capitulated Germany, who had the support of Japan, Legionary Romania, and Hungary. So Germany lost the war by 1941 because of me, but the Allies were fighting Germany too. The Brits kept the Germans from annexing Belgium and the Netherlands immediately. They started folding and I didn't want to give the Germans an inch so I went to their aid and pushed the Germans back. In the 1941 conference, the Allies immediately liberated Poland. I annexed almost all of Germany and kept the eastern bit as a buffer state between me and the poles, who were becoming Soviet because the Allies declared war on Yugoslavia when they were in the Axis, then they joined the comintern so now the Allies and Comintern are at war. But the Soviets are refusing to push into Poland. But I digress. I brought Germany down, I should get dibs. but no. Factions who were in a separate war get to decide my victory for me.I declared war on the Allies in 1942. I didn't realize America had completed waking the giant. I goofed hard. But I invaded Great Britain and beat them in 2 months.It was a bad idea. The Americans immediately dropped 32 divisions in Poland and the Brits had 57 hiding out in Yugoslavia.Unconditional SurrenderIt exists. I promise you, but not in HoI4. It's so annoying. Let's say you're Argentina. You declare war on the UK for the Falklands and South Georgia. You take the islands. But now you have to take London to just get the two islands you have claims on. It's shit.ParatroopersAny Isorrowproductions fan knows the hidden power of paratroopers. I once almost beat France as the Netherlands because of Paratroopers.(I was 3 small towns short of French Capitulation. That's OP.All I have time for today. Some other minor problems, like production and air battles but they're minor.Bonan Tagon!
