Hubi , to Ukraine in Another Ukranian anti-aircraft missile unit shared their kill marks.

It's been a while since I've seen any helicopters getting shot down. It doesn't seem like Russia uses them as much as they did in the beginning.

OwlPaste ,

I guess its hard to shoot them down as they fly low and do untargetted over borizon fire before running back woth tail between their legs. That goes for both sides, but i seen more helicopters lost when they were stationary

partial_accumen ,

Likely lots of factors.

  • so many shot down there are fewer to fly
  • sanctions hurting repair channels meaning they fly fewer hours to reduce maintenance demands
  • longer range Ukrainian missiles exceed the useful operational range of helicopters so to use them they'd have to station them inside Ukrainian missile range
  • Lack of trained pilots? We know that Russian army trainers were put to the front lines (and liquidated), it wouldn't surprised me if this was also done to helicopter trainers so now that they are dead the pipeline for new pilots is drastically reduced.

Not only longer range but also highly mobile air defense supplied by NATO countries specially designed to take on helicopters.

Loved this a few years ago. What have these guys been up to since?

The Advanced Edition Update was released not too long ago.

Animal Crossing. Each hour of the day has a different track and it really makes it feel special to play at every different time of day. When your playing and the song switches or makes you want to play more.

I need to play this, it looks so fun. This pic has Final Fantasy vibes

It's fun. It's a puzzle game disguised as a strategy game, so you need to slightly adjust your thinking if you go in and have trouble.

Under rated gem of a game. Nice to see the artwork of the dev showcased!

Skasi ,

I wouldn't call it underrated. It seems to be very popular and often has better ratings than other very popular games. Personally I think it's not necessarily bad but slightly overrated. I would've liked to try the more detailed designs in a more complex, less fast paced/arcade-y version of the game.

The Netflix game?

Uuh... No?

It was out on switch and PC four years before Netflix published a mobile version.

cordlesslamp , (edited )

Well Yes, But Actually No.

Netflix don't make games (for now). They just bought the game's license, remove all IAPs and paywalls, and include it with your Netflix subscription.

Generally it's a good thing. HOWEVER! The way Netflix did it requires the studio to make a complete separate version of the game and give it to Netflix.

So most of the time, it became abandon-ware. Because the separated Netflix version stopped getting updates and bug fixes soon or right after release.

Very interesting, thanks for sharing.

Slippers?

lurch ,

any that has the sole in the front like a little shovel are dangerous in my experience.

those are safe:

Oohhhhh yes, you can definitely safely kick people with those.

Interesting, the early designs remind me a lot of the interiors in Wayward Terran Frontier. Especially "The original sketch of the Kestrel." in the upper right.

Grimmnir , to Ukraine in On June 8th, a Su-57 multi-purpose fighter was hit at the Akhtubinsk airfield in the Astrakhan region of Russia, 589km from the front line.

Hate to be the one that has to tell the F22 that Ukraine beat them to the punch.

I mean… it probably didn’t work anyway lol

tabris , to Video Game Art in What games have you played that have a "perfect fit" soundtrack?

I don't see Transistor mentioned. Great moody soundtrack that fits the cyber noir aesthetic wonderfully. We All Become is such a beautiful song.

Every supergiant game has a wonderful soundtrack. Darren Korb is the composer.

Came here to say this. Amazing game.

This thing should be the equivalent of an F22? Why are they getting destroyed so easy?

And would they park such assets out in the open?

gravitas_deficiency ,

I mean… it’s not, really. For a lot of reasons.

But none of those reasons actually matter here, because any plane is easy to destroy if you don’t properly secure your airbase, and Russia demonstrably kinda sucks at securing their airbases. They tend to rely on the fact that Russia is huge. Which doesn’t help if the people gunning for your shit are highly motivated and can blend relatively effortlessly into your own society.

Invertedouroboros ,

Just to add to this, every plane is vulnerable while on the ground. It doesn't really matter how stealth an aircraft is if your bombarding the hanger they're in with artillery.

But Russia doesn't even really bother with hangers. This plane was just out in the open, on the fucking tarmac, for God, observers, satellites, and anyone else who cared to see. Even stretching a fucking tent over the aircraft would have at least introduced a certain amount of guesswork to the strike. But no, Russia put "the pride of their airforce" out there for everyone to see and paid the price for it.

gravitas_deficiency ,

It could have been OSINT, or it could have been data from a KH-whatever-we’re-up-to-now; either way, good kill.
