I’m back and need some help taking out a battleship flotilla.

So, after taking a long break from this game, I’m back. I declared war against Great Britain to help my ally.

I need to destroy this Battleship flotilla (first photo). However, I only have this one battleship flotilla (second photo)

I also have 3 naval bombers (level 2) and 2 interceptors (level 1).

Should I attack now or get more assets to ensure destruction. I don’t have enough resources to make more ships currently.

I had 6 level 2 submarines attack beforehand (why it is damaged)

Need help with weird issue

So, I have this weird issue with my Xbox 360. Basically, some of my disks work.

The weird thing is after like 30 minutes to an hour, those same disks no longer work. Also, some of the disks that worked before still worked.

Basically, disks work. Console gets warm. Some disks no longer work.

Edit: I’ve replaced the disk laser before

I have an idea for an GBBR M1 Garand, but need some help with the Gas system

Disclaimer: This is NOT Illegal (this would never be able to fire a real round).

So, I do WW2 airsoft stuff. I want a GBBR M1 Garand. problem is all GBBR M1 Garands are either out of stock, discontinued, or really expensive. So, problem solved, make my own. Problem is, I don't want my gas system to be very complicated like normal GBBRs.

So, what I was thinking was basically my thought was to take a 40mm grenade shell and miniaturizing it into a modified 30-06 STL file. I know this sounds crazy, but my other idea was to make the gas housed in a modified STL of a M1 Garand Bolt.

I have everything else planned out (except for the hopup). So, it will use a real M1 Garand parts (stock and handguard, and gas front end), a custom designed receiver and outer barrel, a regular inner barrel, custom designed (off of Marushan design) trigger group and follower spring.

I am planning on getting a metal 3D printer to make these.

So, I have the ideas and basic CAD Knowledge (So, I cannot really do this). Can someone help me with this. I am willing to pay for this if necessary.

Basically miniaturize this into the picture below

Question regarding old radios (SCR 300, SCR 536, or PRC 10)

So, I am planning on getting into amateur radio stuff and since I am a history buff, I am wanting to get original WW2/Vietnam radio sets (either working or restoring non working models). I looked it up and I think I would need a technicians license, but would like to aske here just in case. For example, would I need a Level 1 technicians license to use (for reenacting) a SCR 300 or PRC 10 (WW2 and Vietnam era backpack radios)

These are the frequencies these operate on -

for PRC 10: 38.0 to 54.9 MHz VHF 

for SCR 300: 40.0 to 48.0 MHz

For SCR 536: 3.5 and 6.0 MHz

Beyond getting 2 working units, do I need a license to use them?

This would not be a project of building modern ones, but getting original units.

Question regarding the Hornady Custom Grade New Dimension Cowboy Action Blank 22 to 45 Handgun Forming, Crimping 2 Die Set from Midway USA

Can I use this to crimp 30-06 into blanks? I missed the opportunity to order from titan reloading (its out of stock now). Can I use these to crimp 30-06 for blank use? The Q&A didn't answer and the Q&A also said that it could do 7.62x54r.
So, what is the answer?

Question. I just finished cleaning and putting back together my 1967 Universal repro m1. What does this little square go to?

Had no clue what this goes to. Any clue?

Note: everything works as it should

I’m putting together a ARVN Vietnam kit (18th infantry division)

Still need a few things, but shirt, pants, belt, and ammo bag strap is coming tomorrow.

What do y’all think?

Has anyone bought from checkoint militaria?

I was looking for a PCR 10 and they have one for a good price, but I can only find one reddit post about it and that was on the iffy side of things.

They have no reviews. They have a Facebook page, but only post links to their website and the posts don't get much traction (if at all).

So, Is it legit?

Question regarding blanks

So, I’m looking to make my own blanks for my M1 Garand. I have a reloading setup already (and the book with all the different calibers, powder loads, and grains, but it doesn’t have blank loads for 30-06).

Is there a resource where I can find the type and load of powder for 30-06 blanks for a M1 Garand?

Also, I’ve tried looking and all that is coming up is loads for actual rounds (not Blanks).

Question regarding US Vietnam shelter half/poncho and how to get smells out of it.

So, I got this poncho from a surplus store for $15 yesterday (May 30). It stunk chemically when I got it. It went away after a few hours.

I set it outside to air out (what the photo is of) from yesterday around 3:00 PM to today around 7:45. It still smells (according to other people (I can’t smell anything)) but now it smells like cigarette smoke. Is there anyway of getting this smell out without destroying it (it was issued according to the guy in the surplus store (looks the part too)).

What do you guys think of my PC?

This build is a few years old, but can still run modern AAA games well (if it isn’t glitching out (fixed with anti-sag bracket).

Pepsi sign is from an old general store owned by my one relative (store is currently closed).

Parts list: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X, 32 GB of RAM, one 2 TB and one 1 TB storage drive, and AMD Radeon RX 6600.

My CPU cooler is a iCUE H150i ELITE CAPELLIX (360mm RGB Liquid CPU cooler).

I also have decade old speakers behind my monitor (they work very well).

No clue what microphone that is though

Oh. And for those that are wondering, yes. I built this myself

I cannot get my file into a form that has texture mapping in MCreator. I have tried OBJ and MTL. That does not have texture mapping. Save as just auto downloads it as a .bbmodel. I am trying to do it for a java model so bedrock will not work.

Is there something I am missing?

So, I am trying to make the Embermane, The Quillshot, and a few others (all Behemoths). I was going to use the Enderdragon as the base for most of the none flying behemoths. However, Mcreator doesn't allow the option for the Entity model. It only has the Biped, chicken, Cod, cow, Creeper, Ghast, Ocelot, Pig, piglin, Salmon, Silverfish, slime, spider, Villager, and witch. Is there anyway to bypass this? These Behemoths are supposed to be way bigger than the player (ravenger would've been the better choice though).

Basically, I am planning on making my own bayonet for my M1 carbine (Blade will be printed from TPU). How do I get the blade like that in the picture? I am using Fusion 360.

I have tried using the fillet tool, but it isn't giving me the results I want and without a top down view of the blade, I cannot use the ol draw on a new sketch and cut.
