Very nice of them.

In more important news, I read this at 'Italian Macaroni Industrial Services'

What's some really unpopular opinion you have? in c/[email protected]

That would create a generational time bomb. What happens when the now sizeably reduced younger generation has to care for a hoard of old people and pay their pensions?

It's no secret that the British faction felt like a bit of a letdown on release, and while we know the devs are looking to make changes, we don't yet know what those changes are. What would you guys like to see done to make the Brits more playable/interesting?

Personally, I'd like to see the 1917 Enfield totally removed from the game (recon could keep the scoped version), with all rifle-using classes having the 10 round No. 4 Enfield with a significant increase to how quickly you cycle the bolt. The other obvious one is PLEASE give the Bren a bipod... It is not an automatic rifle. I fully believe that the choice to not have a bipod was made entirely to try and turn it into an autorifle so that the British had something for that class.

Taiwan doesn’t see conflict as ‘imminent,’ but it’s preparing anyway in c/[email protected]

Good for them. The best deterrence is the mainland knowing that Taiwan can put up a solid defence. If there's one thing that could destabilise Chinese society it's a large scale loss of only-sons

Can we have a thread on the latest mod trident situation? It seems the reddit mods are shutting down any discussion on their subreddit; any mention of the word 'trident' trips the AutoMod in c/[email protected]

Totally out of the loop here. What situation?

US State Dept OKs two possible military sales to Taiwan in c/[email protected]

I feel like the article's title and the current context of the sort of military gear that Ukraine are getting makes this sound way more exciting than it is. They're basically just being sold bullets by the sounds of it.
