This Tweet is about one Cuban SKS Carbine trigger housing in regards to the buttstock being in poor condition but how can anyone notice that when you see every other buttstock in the Cuban Navy in that picture appears to be operating at peak condition. 🍑



It maybe excess Junk but I don't see anything wrong with it. Especially if it remains in the rear.

Will it still fire reliably? What is the increase in corrosion and buildup of junk in the trigger mechanism by having an air gap in salty air?

Also, I think part of the criticism was a lack of pride. These are being shown when meeting foreign navies during ceremonies, the time when you are supposed to be presenting your country's and navy's best face. So even if the weapons didn't actually fire at all they should have still have looked the part. If the navy lacks pride in itself, then that is an indicator of widespread issues.

I was also making low-key references and allusions ("buttstocks," "junk in the rear," etc) in my post to how all the Cuban sailors had big booties in the picture. :sneaky: :p

Well, there has been another WarThunder-forum leak of classified docs, this time about F-16s and F-15Es.

I know game balance on stuff like that can be abysmal, but leaking the actual classified shit to prove how bad the balance is should not be a semi-regular occurrence now. This is just getting stupid.

Oh FFS, now a WarThunder leak happened with the F-22 manuals.

Edit: The post was deleted hours before I posted the link, however the link name was important to see.

Edit2: I am now very glad I never got into WT, and instead stayed with Wargaming; you don't see the WG fanbase being this dumb with classified shit.
