Why do so many early 20th century battleships have vestiges of rigging and sail masts? How could such large ships possibly move using tiny sails?
>>34220047
I like this question.
Have a bump OP
I suspect it was more of a situational assist to ease up on coal consumption. Modern freighters have basically reinvented the spinnaker by having kite style flying sails they can use to relieve some of the load on the engines given a following wind.
>>34220047
The boat rolls over, you see.
The tiny sails only need to catch the current.
Submarines don't stand a chance against that battery of guns.
A surface enemy only sees what looks like an already sunken vessel.
Then SURPRISE
It rolls back over and fires full broadside at point blank range.
Hey /k/ I know we always talk about innawoods but SHTF happens we may need to go to urban environments to get some things, or move back into them for a purpose or another. The idea of avoiding urban areas in general is also getting harder as the world increasingly get more urbanized. So how does one innacity? Or how do we prepare or plan for fighting in cities, or towns when need be?
Is not just limited to a full on army, but could be just a group of /k/ommandos going in an urban area to accomplish something. Either to raid a gunstore, gather supplies, or some other objective where they may have to fight through a city or town. Or just fighting your way out of one. Riot shit is also accepted.
Vietcong improvised traps.
Authentic pictures surrounding the carnage appreciated.

The story of Ssgt Cocagne the gorilla
>Imagine a 5'6" white guy with shoulders that touch his earlobes, has the hands of a monkey, 0311, crazy motherfucker
>The dude is literally the missing link between humans and apes
>He's a recruiter now, but he cycles back to the fleet in October
>Some poolees once gave him a bundle of bananas, no joke
>Anyways, this guy did some serious shit in Afghanistan
>This fucker charged a pillbox (with an 8 man crew inside) through smoke and cleared it out single handedly
>Comes home, was awarded the bronze star, as well as another combat action ribbon or something
He's up here in the Detriot area, filing paperwork for other future Marines. But I still think about him from time to time, usually when around the silverback gorilla pen at a zoo.

I want to use qd mounts with a scope, but the ones I have are super low. Do you guys think medium ones are OK or should I get high ones?
>>34218260
Medium height
Get a bx trigger. It's the easiest and best upgrade for the money.
>>34219699

It's never gay when you're underway.
