I cannot STAND THESE FUCKERS, I don't care what any dev or mod makers say these things are absolute CHEATS.

I'm doing a conquest on high economy and hard difficulty and the amount of mortar spam from the enemy AI is just absurd. I was doing a mission on attack and 2 of the 3 capture points were right next to each other, in the literal corner of the map. There was one mortar just behind a small hill, so I couldn't get eyes on it with scouts. And because of where it was I wasn't able to flank it because it was supported by a fucking AT gun. Because the mortar was in the furthest corner of the map, enemies would just respawn and take the damn thing back after I took it out within a matter of seconds.

Every god damn time I went to take it out with troops they would immediately wipe out the advance. It even managed to get a direct hit on a moving armored truck that I was using to take it out on its FIRST TRY. My arty got taken out earlier by a small squad flanking my back line so that was out (i've noticed since the update the enemy flanks from a variety of different angles now). This single mortar single-handedly wiped out half of my troops.

I hate these god damn things so much I am begging the devs make enemy mortars have limited ammo or some kind of cooldown to simulate it. Every time you come across a mortar you have to halt your advance, pull your troops out of position, and use a recon plane or scout troop to find it, then spam it with artillery until its completely destroyed. If you can't do that then you're practically SOL.

Edit: For the love of god I know that there is a ping that shows approximately where its firing from, but again its approximate. Because of arty accuracy you could sit there for 5+ minutes pummeling the general area with artillery and still not hit it. Ultimately what annoys me the most is that mortars IMO aren't that good for players, they use an insane amount of ammo but dont get enough kills to make up for it. MGs, AA guns, and arty are far superior. But because AI gets unlimited ammo they become the most oppressive thing in the game.

My partner and I are in the market to rent a SFH or townhouse, the supply is low and its quite competitive. Especially hard if you have pets like us.

I saw this listing in South Seattle that looked appealing. Large, decent kitchen, walkable to light rail and Columbia City, and the backyard is big. Even though its in rough shape, my partner and I are looking for a yard project anyway to get into some gardening.

But when I pulled up the address on G Maps, there appears to be a whole ass house where the backyard is supposed to be?. Satellite image is from this year and street view from last year. Doing a search for the address gives me only this listing from Zillow where it was listed for rent in May 2023, but pulled just a few days later.

Im so confused, did they sub divide the land and just straight up lie about it in the listing? And if thats the case, what exactly is the game plan? Sucker in people with a large yard only to find out it doesn't exist when they tour it? Or did they build this new house then tear it down? I reached out to the property owner about it but haven't heard back.

Theres been lots of talk around here about big DC overhaul coming at some point. But I think easiest, short term way to really shake up the gameplay *in the meantime for DC is with the simple addition of mixing in Frontlines and Last Stand missions.

Defensive missions during conquest in its current form, gets especially boring about mid way or so through the campaign. I don't see the point in having 3 - 5 capture points to defend when theres not downside to letting the AI capture them. This just leads to meta being to concentrate your forces around one or two points to defend. This turns late game DC defensive missions to feel like an easier, watered down version of Last Stand and a bit dull. This is why I stopped purchasing the friendly AI defensive upgrades, because if you do concentrate your forces, the enemy AI will spend the entire match getting distracted by the friendlies - leaving your positions almost entirely uncontested.

Add Frontlines (both offensive/defensive) and Last Stand missions to Dynamic Conquest and make losing points in defensive missions for Conquest actually matter. This would really revitalize the game mode .

Getting back into the game with Ultra Hotmod but I want to add some more maps that fit the theme. Seems like maps for these mods are super scattered and a lot of them have been removed. Anyone have any map pack recommendations?

I've been looking at one of these to replace my car with for some time now. I've always liked the look of the LR4, but finding one that doesn't have a ton of miles *and* has been maintained properly for the major failure points, is hard to come by. So the Disco 5 with the SCV6 has been looking like a better option despite the styling woes (nicer interior, better ride, ACC, 360 cams etc.).

Outside of the windshield leak, typical JLR issues (software and electrical nonsense), and usual truck maintenance (bushings, control arms, brakes) - these *appear* to be holding up well? I haven't read much of note online with regards to major engine failure points of the SCV6 like the Land Rovers of old. I'd like to hear if from owners/techs on their thoughts of how these vehicles have held up - anything worth mentioning?

For some reason every time I try to move the recoilless anti-tank rifle in Hotmod the game gives me the "vehicle immobile" message. Am I doing something wrong?

EDIT: Dev confirmed to be a bug

I don't see the point in having so many capture points during defensive missions in Dynamic Conquest. It's so much easier to just defend one, maybe two points, to gather your forces around as opposed to being spread thin trying to defend an absurd amount of points.

Maybe if losing capture points actually came with meaningful risk, I could understand. But in it's current form it just seems entirely unnecessary. I hope in the future the devs bring the other game modes like Frontlines and Last Stand to the defensive missions to shake things up a bit because defense on conquest is kind of a cake walk.

This'll probably sound like a lot of made up bullshit, and it's certainly hard to believe, but it's from someone who applied to work at the theater (now officially called "IMAX at the Center") and made it to the interview stage.

The theater won't be showing features. Or, at least, they don't currently plan to. It also won't be possible to purchase standalone tickets for it (you'll only be able to watch movies there if you add it on to a space needle ticket). The only shows they'll be screening aren't even IMAX documentaries. It's two documentaries: a trimmed down version of Deep Sky and a documentary about Dale Chihuly that's not even finished. When questioned as to why they wouldn't screen features the answer was simply that "features don't make enough money to support the costs of the licensing". Boeing made 2/3 of Pacific Science Center's revenue. Space needle's head of HR was unaware IMAX is a corporation. I don't think the IMAX corporation is going to want to touch that theater with a ten mile long pole. There is also as of now no set reopening date.

DISCLAIMER: This is only the current plan as of late April 2026. It was only told to me through a good friend of mine, so it may be incomplete info. I made this post because I think even the small chance that folks on here may band together and complain enough to change Space Needle's minds, would be better than doing nothing at all. I do not condone any hateful words towards any involved parties.

This genuinely, honestly and truthfully sucks. I loved that theater. My top cinematic experiences happened there. And Seattle isn't going to take this lightly once the news really drops. I fear that theater will close within a year. I honestly hope someone comes up with some sort of call to action to protest this in some form, it's so beyond obvious that the Space Needle is woefully misinformed on what they've just decided to do.
