      Yes, that’s why they are in the army.

        They’re in the army because they’re poor.

                Come on, if Black Adder was American and had to join a service, he’d totally bribe the right people for the space force.

              Historically speaking you can damage an American aircraft and get away with it, you just need to be lucky. No, if you want everyone to be afraid to touch you, join the navy. Touching American boats either with or without provocation is anathema. You touch the boat, you get the smoke, end of story.

              It’s one of not very many games I’ve beaten multiple times as an adult. Sure as a kid I beat games repeatedly, but now I have a massive library full of choice and between the original and remake it’s been like, 4 times.

              Excellent game.

      But the vast majority of the shell fire is not as a result of the battle which raged around St Malo for nearly two weeks. After the battle, the Americans brought up various tanks and other anti-tank weapons into range and fired at them to see how much punishment they would take. It is incredible to see that virtually all the hits show shells bouncing off or merely embedding themselves into the armoured steel without penetrating it. I found only one shell hole which had penetrated the cupola straight through, whilst one other shell appears to have found a way in at the point where the moveable gun port shield slots into the turret.

            You mean you don’t want to be inside the world’s thickest bell when it gets hit with a main battle cannon?

      If this is at the beach landing, decent odds it was shore bombardment from some of the smaller weapons. The amount of naval fire directed at the opposing forces on the beach was incredible. My favorite little moment I’ve heard about from that was a battleship engaging a sniper nest that infantry had radioed in with their 16" main guns. There’s a naval historian on YouTube by the name drachinifels, I highly recommend watching his video on operation Neptune.

      Guessing it was one of the defenses that was hit by close range artillery fire.

A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be nice

Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a “credible” source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it’s non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don’t care if you’re Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don’t want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how “open source” and “easy to find” it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody’s art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art’s source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a “haha people that I hate died… haha” punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.

11. No misinformation

NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don’t be an idiot.
