  • That's true, but overrated; for the actual applications of DU and Tungsten, which is penetrating armour, tungsten is not inferior by much.

    DU doesn't self sharpen in the way people think it does, it just kind of mushrooms less, though it might help penetration in very poorly normalized impacts. And the fact that it ignites is inconsequential in Soviet style autoloaded tanks anyways, since if you hit the carousel you explode instantly. Might be a bit more useful vs western tanks with the bustle ammo ig?

    The primary advantage of DU is if you have a nuclear program you get it for much much cheaper than tungsten.

  • Officially, it would be for bunker busting to penetrate deeper into the ground and fortified structures. Unofficially, this is an easy way to make a "mild" dirty bomb. There's nothing this does that tungsten alloys can't, although tungsten dust from KE penetrators will also poison you.

  • That's exactly what it felt like, oh sure the open world is pretty but they've put nothing to do in it. Ok go to this place and kill some dudes and then go to the next place. It's the same as every other game that could have been a dense focused experience that's been diluted by having a tacked on open world that does nothing except make you walk to the next story marker.

  • Iran has some decent missile tech and proof that they are willing to use it. They may or may not have nukes at the moment but if it comes to that they definitely have the means to make nuclear warheads on short notice. They should definitely start though, having the ability to make nukes in a week means nothing if issrael decides to do a first strike.

  • Also, its not just about the big boats, since missile saturation is very important in modern surface naval combat, China has a shitload of smaller shipyards that can churn out Type 22s and Type 054As if the need arises at a scale that US shipyards + their south Korean vassals can't hope to achieve.
