Level 7?

Like in the Killjoys series?

Deferred means they sent you an early claim letter, for you to enjoy sooner, and you probably either have a C&P coming up for those deferred things or somebody will eventually look at them an decide on them, then you willg et a new letter.

I recently had a claim where they decided to make me redo (their screwup) like 8 of my C&Ps (for like 12 of 16 things I have wrong with me), I did them, increased half of them, and then 2 that were not on anybody's list were deferred (shin splints), they sent a request back to the examiner to fill out the DBQ properly, and a couple weeks later finally closed the claim, giving me shin splits at 0% still, because duuh.

They are 100% rigged.

Seriously, count up 100 matches, see how many of them have 1 point on the map.

Then count them up again if your current objective is "Capture streak".

I can win almost half my battles, consistently, until I apply a 500% booster, then less than 5% of the time my team will win (no matter how well I might do).

The game is F2P, of course its rigged, Gaijin would be stupid to NOT rig it when rigging it is what helps generate income for them.

You can avoid the rigging by teaming up though, as I am pretty sure the rigged matches do not apply when you are in a team of 2 players or more. That is how people get much higher win rates.

I am in 1st place in about 80%-90% of the matches I finish, so I'm not just bitter or whatever. I just recognize it for what it is.

F-22, sure, the USA is the only country that will ever operate it.

But the F-35? 20+ countries, pretty much all of NATO. Many of those countries are also making them, or parts from them, via license too. The Leopard was used by like 19 countries, so there is a reason its copy-paste, just like the F-35.

But in 1960 most aircraft in the world were produced by the USA and Warsaw Pact, so if you didn't have copy/paste, you simply wouldn't have many options.

But the new Russian stealth, I *think*, and I could be wrong here and too lazy to google it, that Russia is the only country using them. Pretty sure it is that way with the Chinese fighters.

I'd rather just not see them lump some countries together. It is totally ok for a country to have like 7 airplanes and 2 tanks. Let people finish grinding a country, sheesh.

That is mostly people advertising things they did, not really for a place trying to find artists to work for free on a free project :(

I have had extremely bad luck the few times I asked reddit for people to do raster art for games, most are just scammers who send you pictures of other people's models, take your money, and run (I didn't get scammed, but its clear they are doing that). Just awful.

One would think I could find somebody in some country where they make $300 a month to live, and give them $500 a month to put in 100 or so hours making pixels graphics, but I've never had that luck :(

No, that is a fully functional game with AI opponents (network play at some point). Its an exe that runs on windows and you can even watch AI play itself! It fully implements all the rules from Space Marine 2.0, Titan Legions, Hive War, the 3 army books, and all the citadel journals.

I have tried, with 3d scans, pictures, all sorta of things, and I haven't found any solution that gives anything but garbage results.

The AI haters here are just dumb people. I retired from a 25 year career as a solutions architect a few months ago. AI produces some trash, sure, no doubt, but when used properly, in the right way, its can be really amazing.

I have written entire games without a line of code in a day or two, its crazy. Its absolutely crap IMO for art, creative writing, and you really have to watch any form of legal documents. Its completely worthless when you need data accuracy.

But to say its trash just because you hate data centers (that have been around for decades) because facebook told you to is just ignorance.

If you need aid & attendance (dressing, eating, prepping food, cleaning, other stuff) you can get SMC-L, which right now with just a spouse bumps you to $5120/month.

From there they have steps, that go from L, to L 1/2, to M, to M 1/2, to N, to N 1/2, to O. Each is about another $250 a month. Each requires 50% combined percentage on its own, on top of what you have your SMC-L for. They can be for anything at all.

If you get to O *and* you have SMC-L with A&A, it actually gets you to R.1, which is like $10K/month. Basically its like saying "Well you need help, AND you have a whole list of fucked up issues all s/c, so here you go" sorta thing.

Problem is RO's can only give you 1 step, up to SMC-L 1/2, but they almost never do it. You can supposedly get it in a HLR, but if you have more than 1 step worth (I actually have all 6 right now, but will be putting in for a 7th step next week) you can submit a request to the BVA to apply all steps.

The downside, well excluding all the disabilities that suck ass, is that there is about a 50/50 chance the BVA judge will see it and exclude any conditions from those steps related to your base SMC-L requirement. If that happens, you gotta do the CAVC thing, and it can take years, but its pretty likely to happen then.

You can also get SMC-K, though I am not sure of the requirements. There is also the whole ED thing, if you have that (luckily I don't, not that I use it, lol). And funny thing, if you have just 5 steps, ED will act as #6 for you, when it doesn't help you at any other level, just if you get to N 1/2 it can get you to O.

And there is also PCAFC, which can net your caretaker/spouse $1700 or $3K a month, to THEM, not you, for taking care of you. My mother and law is working on that now. I qualify for the lower tier 1, but haven't applied yet. I am not at the tier 2 level yet, thankfully.

marines vs marines.

Ugh, no.

40K yes, 30K no, i have zero interest in everything 30K, but 40K is fun. Luckily we still have Epic 2.0 with tons of units in it and it plays great. Heck, I even have a computer version I wrote that is pretty fun.

Great, since we bought these and gave them money, now they can help fund the Iranians, so we can pay to fight them.

This is just fucking stupid. We are literally paying our enemies to fight us.

A reinforced company? Sure.

A reinforced mech company? Nope, just a company.

I have a list of 40+ errors they have made with my account. From saying I missed appoints I never did, incoherent denials, to 38 CFR violations.

Oh yes, they are very, very, very error prone.

Just gotta keep fighting. If you are bad enough, don't stop at 100% either, there are steps above that.

I was denied for that too, well, because my dumbass audiologist wrote "cannot have tinnitus without hearing loss", which means he clearly needs a malpractice suit against him as you can 100% have it without hearing loss:

Mine isn't that bad, but its there, always, and I have no idea what absolute silence is like. I was in the infantry, got out in 2005, and since I didn't complain about it there is no direct s/c, though they it is supposed to be presumptive if you were in high risk MOS's.

I didn't need the %, I'm already at like 390% total, but I did a BVA claim out of principal as they are supposed to be doing this crap right. Its been in over 6 months, no word yet.

Get a doctor to document your issue and the correlation/nexus, then do a new claim or supplemental. Keep fighting it.

I am working on making it phone compatible, though I fear it'll always be too complex, but it may work on a tablet soon.

Instead of F2P, charge $20/month to play whatever you want without a need for GE/SL.

The only thing GE's get you is camo's.

The F2P mechanic, excessive grind, and unbalance for profits really gets frustrating.

Yep, I was, same nick back then.

Try this <URL removed, hit me up if you want to test it tho>

Its the impulse based incarnation, and I'm just made it old and obsolete, but it worked on my phone! Though waaaay too small (even on my expanded fold8) to be useful. Proof of concept though!

I'll take that down after a while, as surely its eating up my server CPU, lol.

Well apparently lots of people are using AI to reverse engineer exe's. I did not try to do that, as I wanted something more modern, so what I'm doing is completely from "scratch".

Though I do plan on copying the way the game played, and some of the interface design.

It is neat that it follows impulses right now. Its like a quick play version of SFB, but 2 seconds isn't enough time to redo your energy allocation sheet in an impulse, so i think I'll have to convert it to true real time like SFC was.

Thanks for working on the original, it gave many of us a huge amount of enjoyment. Heck, hacking ship data in the EXE is what got me started with programming all those years ago. I was never a programmer in occupation, but have done little things for work for a long time. Retired now and with AI its sure allowing me to make my ideas come to life, and in a day, its nuts.

it will be, though by their very nature things like star wars, babylon 5, and star trek really do not work together.

Star trek stuff just teleports bombs into B5 ships and out ranges everybody else by tens of thousands of km.

Yep, that was my point. Right now its about 2 seconds per impulse, so almost real time, but it is segmented by impulse. I was asking if people would like it that way, or go back to full real time.

Yeah, once I'm done working on it..... but I was curious too, so I went and looked.

It isn't horrible, at least from a "AI did 100% of it" perspective. However, I think I had asked for it to work in web browsers, so apparently this whole game is in javascript! 1.3mb and 42 files.

It does have a server component though, but that isn't bad, as I have a web server I can run it on and, at least a few months ago before retirement and I was a solutions architect, I knew how to take this and through it into an azure web app in a few minutes and make it work. Check out the "run.bat" file it made!

How cool is that? I'll see if I can get it running out of my environment when its done with its current updates and share the site out.

Nothing to spend it on.

I bought everything I've researched.

I've bought the crew experience thing for every vehicle.

I have 150M SL, and the only reason it isn't 250M is I wasted it on crates.

Wish they'd let me use it to convert my convertible RP instead of just sitting there doing nothing.

I really wanted to fly helicopters as a kid.

I joined the army, did some air assault missions, found out just how big, loud, and bulky even a UH-60 was.

Decided I'd rather stay infantry.... because I'm an idiot.

Still though, pilots only get to fly a couple hours a week, have to spend huge amounts of time keeping up with FAA rules and learning about their machines and stuff. In war it is probably different, but in peacetime you rarely get to fly around.

Get an attorney to help me find a way to cash it and not pay taxes.

Then 2 girls at once, or maybe 3 if its the powerball.

People always blaming teams.

Like Gaijin takes 16 bad players and puts them on one team, and 16 good players on the other.

They DO know all our skill levels.

So ask yourself, statistically, is my entire team bad, or is something else amiss causing wins and losses to ensure all players get a fair chance at victory? I mean, Gaijin is a for-profit company, the game is F2P, and player count at all skill levels is highly desired.

Also, everybody has good streaks and bad. Go look at your last 100 games and your ratio won't be so bad.
