It still tickles me pink that the Ivans spent so much time hyping up this piece of shit, only for it to prove to be too expensive to replace the T-90.
A normal everyday. Quite a lot of weapon systems end up 'formally accepted' and produced in absolutely minuscule numbers. I think it's more noticeable over here since state media tends to run its mouth about a 'cool new thing' only for the thing to fall into obscurity due to being too expensive/unreliable/overspecialized/etc.
Hahaha hahaha yeah sure t 14 armata that diest exist, air force is getting destroyed, F-16 will habe clear skys. Anf you say "victory is ours" bruh never. Youll never win ur SMO but you can win the special suicide political operation. The z army? More like the L army.
I, for one, am glad Yura's a super utility light cruiser who can do a lot of things even if she's not the top-tier choice. With the right loadout, she can hit just as hard as the other front-liners, even if she has no duty to be there.
Being the only light cruiser who can also launch seaplane fighters is also pretty neat where the obvious choices (like CV, BBV, CAV and the likes) are locked out.

Still the only light cruiser that can launch seaplane fighters and opening torp... and can still DA at night.
To be fair Silence is the best choice of all four if you don't already have a good 5-star or 6-star healer.
Just to add, while you'll need to be lucky with the recruitment tags, Projekt Red is at least a guarantee with Fast Redeploy/Specialist and Crowd Control. Silence does not have tags that guarantee her. Even if you get Senior Operator and Medic, the pool is shared with Warfarin and Ptilopsis.
That said, I did choose Projekt Red for the name alone. The Witcher reference felt intentional. Now, I know she's a cute bundle of fluff and a useful assassin
The fact that Shenhe's talisman clone is ACTIVELY stopping her from activating that talisman is one thing, Ayaka emitting a blizzard and Keqing supercharging is another

problem is this entire sutuation is bcs GW wants cheap investment money and dont care about thier fans, lore and all that stuff. Classic corpo thing.
Yes, they want money. That has been the case for decades. They care about their fans as the same as always. The problem, such that it is, is that a group of fans think they are the ONLY fans when they're not. Hell, forget it being that they're the only ones. A huge chunk of the people trying to turn back the clock have no interest in Warhammer at all! The amount of times this week alone I have seen A call B tourist because they aren't mad about female Custodes, only for A to eventually admit they aren't even in the hobby at all, is crazy. Or to respond to somebody posting their models accusing them of being the problem with Warhammer just because they're a woman or gay or trans or whatever the hell else. There's so much that could be complained about with how the franchise is being run, especially in regards to community outreach and how they've treated people who have created things that do more to draw in new fans than ever before, that it blows my mind people are snapping over this. Which does not actually matter.
The whole stuff is super hilarious to me because the lore changes ALL the time with constant rewrites, retcons and whatnot since the second edition decades ago. Remember Squats who is rewritten to become the Leagues of Votann? or Leman Russ being an ordinary Space Marine in the 1st edition?.
Also calling GW greedy solely because female Custodes is just peak tourist behavior to me. Like holy shite people who actually in the hobby even a little knew this already since a long time ago. I weep for AdMech players every day.
Admittedly the way GW handled it could be better, but this is a company who let Matt Ward under their employment, so competence aren't their strong suit. Ultimately IT DOES NOT MATTER like the person above me said. FemCustodes would probably be retconned in 10 years or so because GeeDubs wanted to cut corners not sculpting new models for them.

My favorite is the Bretonnians, first a highly decadent society functionally existing as a great big Slaneshi cult, then a "Chivalric" society of Arthurian Questing Knights that float somewhere between "Noble but disconnected to the peasants" and "Downright thinks their horses are more human than peasants are".
As for me, I am just bothered by that stupid haircut. Seriously, is that the only female hairstyle that exists these days?
Given that the artist gave this particular Custodes Nahuatl-looking features, I'm guessing they were riffing on the design of the Shorn Ones, the partially-shaven elite soldiers who lived in the palace of the Aztec emperor.
Well, this girl not only was near to put a doomsday bomb on the Golden Throne, but even bring mayhem on the Community. Just for that the character have my respect and admiration
