Please, if nothing else, make the damned bots face the right direction!

I get there are limits on game AI. I get it's hard to get right. But this should be easy to fix.

Bots seem to have a process of, 1: notice enemy. 2: try to find cover. 3: turn around, move towards cover.

Marking makes it *worse* because they just get stuck between step 2 and 3.

It never completes all 3 steps within the time it takes for someone to kill the entire squad- so you cycle through a whole squad who are dying *AND FACING THE WRONG FUCKING DIRECTION*. The frustration of trying to return fire but instead trying to work out where the fuck you are and what direction you're facing is immense.

Easy fix: just let them back step or sidestep to cover. They don't need to turn around. Id even be happy if they just ignored cover altogether and just hit the ground to shoot from prone.

Just for the love of God, please don't add any more guns, squads, WT imports, events, until you get squads that face the enemy. It's not too much to keep asking!

Feed is very samey, latching on to subjects, how to avoid?

Hard to describe concisely in title. But reddit seems to tag subjects then bombard me with that subject, from as little "engagement" as scrolling past it slightly slower. Read one post curious why people are angry about something, that something will be about 50% of my feed for days. A significant portion of that will even be *the same post* on other subs

Muting subs doesn't work.

Is there any way of going through the themes it thinks I'm interested in, and deleting the majority that are wrong?

TNT charge/ explosion pack

Does anyone have the actual in-game stats so we don't have to guess what's nerfed? I *think* TNT is now far more powerful than explosion packs (which almost aren't worth taking any more)

I'm still waiting for them to accounce the expack nerf as it's been a few months now since they did...

Are there any sources on roman translators?

A meme on another sub got me thinking; is there any evidence to suggest any Roman translators for dealing with non-romans? (in an official capacity, not just soldiers learning lingua franca with locals)

An example that came to mind was the "carnyx" horn, which sounds very much like someone asked "what's this?" and someone tried to say it in Latin with an accent. Or Celtic/gallic names having Latin sounding endings.

Bonus points if there's much evidence on their attitudes towards learning other languages; whether it was beneath them, or just practical diplomacy.

By april-may 1945, would Unter Den Linden in Berlin have smelled more strongly of cum or cordite?

It was named for its aromatic trees but there was clearly heavy fighting too. It just seems inappropriate with all the horror and everything

Jar materials? Milling seems to work except contamination...

Hi, having read a fair bit of theoretical explanations on why a cheap, standard rock tumbler wouldn't work for milling.... I found it mills very effectively. Not even modified to speed up.

Left overnight with ceramic balls and water, it's turned both blue glass (smalt) and lapis lazuli into >50 micron powders.

(Even using the stones & powders supplied exactly as instructions, it ground them quite small)

Only problem is, as a cheap Amazon one, it's (sometimes) shedding rubber. I don't feel like paying £300 or so for a lab quality jar.

Anyone used viable alternatives?
