Thank goodness: this will make our school days even more fun
Indian head nod about to be a deadly skill
Hahaha
Not the Wobble! India putting out jetpack tetragrammaton clerics
Hahaha my fucking sides
“I will consider your request for eternity…”
You gotta punch him when his turban glows and you’ll get a star.
It was probably inevitable, but I hate that this got weaponized.
Not just inevitable, that was always the point
Rocketeers are finally complete. Now to bring in some Kirov airships.
Rock-a-who?
Get your James Horner ready!
He needs a Sean Michaels inspired flight stick.
I used to put a rally point in the corner of the map and just spam rocketeers. My opponent would destroy my base and type GG, then a swarm of rocketeers would glass their entire army and base. If you make enough they’re completely unstoppable!
“Help! Call the GG! But not for me!” /pulls gun
Only if they suck and have no anti air, and keep the crappy game mode on that the game doesn’t end after the last enemy base is destroyed! A good swarm of rocketeers are fun tho, they look like little bees
You gotta build a second base and barracks near your secret swarm. But a big enough swarm will destroy even a heavily defended anti-air base. They have an extremely high rate of fire and a big swarm will chew up AA in seconds.
This. IIRC Soviet flak cannon had a slow rate of fire. But the flak tracks were pretty decent? I used to play as Korea and spam their Harriers. Rocketeers would have been more fun though.
I’ve seen a horde of flak tracks melted by a rocketeer swarm in a few seconds. The sheer number of rocketeers and their evasive action is a sight to behold. I don’t think the flalnhad an aeo, it hits only a few targets.
“Kirov Reporting! Helium Mix Optimal.” Man the nostalgia hitting 😂
I’m getting to old for this shit
Testing has been going on for a few years.

In the UK there is even a rapid response medic for an area of mountains.

The 2nd gen stuff could be pretty awesome/scary.
I’m 48 and just sit back in amazement on all that Sci fi shit growing up is all becoming a reality. Space Force, sending shit to Mars, robots taking over, fucking dudes shooting laser beams. I’m waiting for the aliens next and interstellar travel to kick off. Shits straight up a series of Star Trek now.

This is not a good idea. The jetpack dude being exposed in the air is an easy target.
Mmm all those fuel tanks and engines
Until the energy shield tech tree gets unlocked.
He never said it was a good idea
Bro…we have aliens. Check out the nazca mummies….yes there most likely fakes. But they’re pretty good fakes. And that should count for something.
The Mexican congress meeting thing? My quick understanding is that the guy who presented those mummies was a known bullshitter. If someone or something starts out as bullshit, then most likely, it’s bullshit all the way down. I think the aliens are here and have probably been here forever. We just can’t “see” them in our normal way of seeing stuff. All I know is if the aliens do come. I hope they yeet me off this shithole of a planet.

They did have dudes flying around Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum with jetpacks in the 1967 super bowl. Anyone seeing that would have been pretty disappointed in the state of jetpacks 55 years later.
According to Star Trek lore, we have one more super terrible world war to go before the first warp engine.
Oh sweet a new way to kill people. I had just been thinking to myself that 2023 is about to come to an end and humanity had barely even invented any new ways to kill people this year.
Oh we have plenty, but until someone squares up on the US they keep it under wraps. Ukraine is getting the old shit and it is still crazy
Tax dollars at work. No money for higher wages, healthcare or education
It’s from the UK, so none of your tax dollars at work.
The UKs tax dollars are at work then, their healthcare system always under threat and education system is getting more expensive by the year as well. Also, I doubt it will be long before the usa spends a few billion on these
Rocket to the skyyy!
I can see 'em!
Nice to meet you, unknown violence
Recoil?
The next day: Russia apparently ‘enlisting prisoners’ to the battlefield wielding flak cannons
Hmm now where is my ground Tesla Suit
Ukrainian tank crews wheezing after the electricity distributes throughout the tank exterior and eventually disperses into the ground:
Jetpack joyride?
Sneeze or hiccup to fire the gun.
Utterly worthless against an armed target, of course.
Try it against somebody standing stationary on the ground with a rifle while you try to line up a pistol shot in a jetpack that’s jittering around.
For 50 years we have been using helos to drop people to do so the same tasks, are those folk hanging out of the helo more or less vulnerable?
OK, the right reply this time.
Yes: soldiers fast-roping out of helicopters are indeed seriously vulnerable to fire from the ground. That’s why if they do that when they know there are people with guns on the ground, they will lay down heavy suppressing fire from the choppers or other methods of suppression. Also, it’s called “fast-roping” for a reason: you get your ass to the ground just as fast as possible, which means that if anyone is shooting at you, you try to make yourself a very difficult target to hit.
But a guy in a jetpack doesn’t have that option, he’s trying to keep the rig steady so he can line up his own shot. Without suppressing fire from other sources, the jetpack guy is boned.
So flying AND catching hot brass in your face! Fun!
