[p]Hello, soldiers![/p][p]Today, we're switching sides and analyzing one of our future adversaries: the "Aedes albopictus"![/p][p][/p][p]The Aedes albopictus, also known as the tiger mosquito, is a tiny insect, as small as it is annoying.[/p][p]Mosquitoes generally strike at night, but not these! They're so brazen that they strike during the day, in plain sight, confident in their superiority and driven by their insatiable thirst for human blood![/p][p]Just think, the Aedes albopictus is among the 100 most harmful invasive species in the world.[/p][p]How many beautiful summer afternoons have been ruined by the arrival of a pack of these damned creatures that started tearing your legs apart?[/p][p]But now, thanks to HWB, you can repay them some of the pain they suffered, even if only virtually.[/p][p][/p][p]In the game, the Aedes albopictus are slow-flying insects with little resistance to enemy attacks.[/p][p]"A walk in the park," you might say, but it's not![/p][p]This insect's attack is powerful compared to its resistance; it can also regenerate health after each successful attack. Of course, it's not a solitary animal, so when you spot it, it'll most likely be within a formation of Aedes albopictus, which becomes very dangerous in groups.[/p][p][/p][p]To counter this creature, all you need are arm weapons, good aim (because they're thin), and medium-low anti-aircraft armaments. Forget the more sophisticated anti-aircraft guns; those are best for hornets, jets, and pterodactyls![/p][p][/p][p]If you want to play as these infamous creatures, know that speed isn't your best bet.[/p][p]Stay out of sight of the enemy as much as possible, and then, when you're close enough, hit them as many times as you can, perhaps moving in circles.[/p][p]In fact, if you think about it, in gameplay, you should be just as annoying as they are to us![/p][p][/p][p]In the photos below, I've quickly simulated what a group attack on a poor soldier might look like.[/p][p]Do you think the soldier would have died or not?[/p][p][/p][h3]THE ONLY GOOD BUG IS A DEAD BUG![/h3][p]( ... these are annoying even to death because they leave a blood stain on your fingers and you have to wash them afterwards!)[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p]

[p]Hello, soldiers![/p][p]Today, I bring you my favorite aircraft of all time (and I'm sure others will agree).[/p][p]Today, I present to you the legendary "F-14 Mav"![/p][p][/p][p]Of course, I can't use the original names, but I tried to get as close as possible to retain the spirit of that movie we all loved![/p][p][/p][p]The F-14 was born as an interceptor and was widely used by the Navy.[/p][p]Its strengths, besides its aesthetics (which makes me feel like a teenager at my favorite boy band concert every time I see it), were its powerful engines, a highly advanced radar, and above all, its armament.[/p][p]This aircraft's AA missiles had an insane range for its time, which could lead to its enemies being destroyed before they even knew of the existence of good old "Tommy."[/p][p][/p][p]In my game, I tried to maintain the "sacredness" I have for this aircraft, without forcing it to be the best of all the others (and I tell you, there are SO MANY!).[/p][p]In translating our Mav from reality to the video game, I ran into a significant problem: in the front, there's the pilot, who's incredibly cool, we all know that, but in the back, there's another crew member... what the hell do I make the second crew member do???[/p][p]In reality, he was in charge of managing the powerful radar and maintaining communications, but in my game, this made no sense.[/p][p]So that amazing BF3 mission aboard the plane comes in handy![/p][p]Reworking the idea a bit, the second crew member will have additional AA missiles at his disposal and will be able to lock onto enemies independently, obviously taking into account the trajectory of his own plane.[/p][p][/p][p]Both crew members will have a certain number of missiles, likely of different power and different locking methods. One of these two missiles will be unique to the F-14 Mav (this is my little tribute to the king) and will have the greatest range and power compared to the other AA missiles. Obviously, even more powerful missiles can be launched from the ground. The pilot will also be able to use a 20mm rotary cannon, great for close-in enemies and when the cool missiles run out![/p][p][/p][p]In short: the Mav will be an interceptor fighter, therefore geared exclusively for air superiority.[/p][p]It can have two crew members, both with offensive capabilities and health insurance![/p][p]What are the king of the skies' main enemies?[/p][p]Definitely ground-based anti-aircraft, although it will also be able to rely on flares.[/p][p]Furthermore, fast units like flies, dragonflies, and the most modern stealth aircraft, which missiles can't lock on to, could give it a hard time.[/p][p][/p][p]Stay tuned, and tell all your friends, because I'm trying to include so many units and vehicles that it will take you weeks to test them all![/p][p][/p][p]PS: In the photos below, you will also find a very accurate, high-definition reconstruction of the most famous scene from the film that we all love.[/p][p][/p][h3]THE ONLY GOOD BUG IS A DEAD BUG![/h3][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p]

[p]Hello, my brothers in arms![/p][p]Today, we go back in time and introduce you to one of the gladiators of the past: the "Boxer"![/p][p][/p][p]The Boxer is a tank designed to counter other armored threats. It doesn't have a turret, but it does have a dangerous 75mm frontal gun, equipped with a small range of motion. This gun is equipped with armor-piercing rounds, ideal for penetrating enemy armor.[/p][p]In addition to the gun, it has four 7.62mm machine guns mounted on each side, perfect for defending the tank's perimeter.[/p][p][/p][p]The Boxer is capable of entering and exiting dangerous situations on its own, as long as they aren't excessively dangerous.[/p][p]It is relatively slow, and its armor isn't particularly thick.[/p][p]The Boxer's most suitable role is probably as an anti-armor sniper tank.[/p][p][/p][p]The Boxer is clearly inspired by a WW1 tank. Can you tell me which one?[/p][p][/p][p]Ironically, I wanted to nickname it the "baguette tank," but I later realized that might be offensive to our French comrades.[/p][p][/p][p]I still have a ton of other units to show you![/p][p]Do you prefer me to post twice a week (Monday and Thursday) or three times a week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday)?[/p][p][/p][p]If you have any questions, leave them in the comments and I'll get back to you shortly, as always!

[p]Hello, my brave soldiers![/p][p]Today, I present to you an aircraft that I hope will give you an idea of ​​the breadth of gameplay and the complexity of development of this game: the "Kingfisher"![/p][p][/p][p]There came a point in human history when ships no longer mastered the vast ocean surfaces and began to feel vulnerable. From fearless battleships, they gradually became small, high-tech vessels.[/p][p]When did the nobility of armor give way to the cowardice of agility?[/p][p]This point was when someone first thought of loading a torpedo onto an airplane.[/p][p]A torpedo bomber combines the incredible agility and speed of an airplane with the extreme lethality of a torpedo.[/p][p][/p][p]The Kingfisher is a biplane equipped with a single, powerful torpedo.[/p][p]Your attack tactic is simple to understand, but not so easy to execute. Its pilot must get within a few meters of the water's surface, calculate the target's speed and direction, and release the torpedo at the optimal moment. All this must be done while anti-aircraft fire is pounding you, enemy fighters are targeting you, and your target is taking evasive maneuvers.[/p][p]However, you have a small advantage: you can bring along a second crew member who is "supposed" to help you against enemy fighters using a 7.62mm machine gun and perhaps by identifying your most suitable targets.[/p][p]Furthermore, with only one torpedo, you'll have to refuel after each attack.[/p][p][/p][p]You can see why playing as a torpedo bomber is more of a calling than a choice. However, the satisfaction of watching steel beasts go down thanks to a well-organized squadron of friends is priceless.[/p][p][/p][p]I already have graphics for other torpedo bombers from various eras, including helicopters![/p][p][/p][p]Can you tell me which aircraft this 3D model was taken from?[/p][p][/p][h3]THE ONLY GOOD BUG IS A DEAD BUG![/h3][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p]

[p]Hello, soldiers![/p][p]Today, I present to you the smallest armed boat in the game: the "Goby"![/p][p][/p][p]In the images below, you can see it compared to the inflatable boat we've already discussed.[/p][p]The Goby can accommodate at least three crew members, one as the driver and the other two as gunners.[/p][p]The front weapon is the main one, a twin 12.7 mm machine gun, excellent against lightly armored targets.[/p][p]The rear weapon is a simple 7.62 mm machine gun, just enough to provide rear cover in case of pursuit.[/p][p][/p][p]What is the role of the Goby?[/p][p]It can have multiple uses:[/p][p]- It can be a heavy version of a simple inflatable boat.[/p][p]- It can be a fast, armed version of a heavier boat.[/p][p]- Being inexpensive, it can be an expendable vessel for some tactical purpose![/p][p][/p][p]Using the Goby to attack a battleship is simply a waste of your debris, but combining speed and handling skill could be very effective against smaller aquatic targets without spending too many credits![/p][p][/p][p]What do you think you'll use this light boat for?[/p][p][/p][p]See you below in the comments, and see you at the next "MEET!" Please comment as many times as possible. I'd love to answer![/p][p][/p][h3]THE ONLY GOOD BUG IS A DEAD BUG![/h3][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p]
