@THX..1138 10 дней назад

Current US spy sat resolution is likely far better than Trump's tweet. There is no reason spy sats can't use adaptive optics like modern ground based astronomical telescopes do. In fact the tech should work considerably better for spy sats as they are looking at well lit known objects. As in if you have a shape in view like a building you know absolutely for sure what that building looks like and so atmospheric distortion can be much more accurately corrected. Virtually any man made object in view of known size and shape can provide accurate correction data. Moreover on top of adaptive optics which physically change shape in real time to correct atmospheric distortion. With a spy sat it can be done in software, where you take dozens or hundreds of pictures. An AI then again using known objects in the images studies how the waves of distortion move through the images, it then constructs a new image with the distortion filtered out....I would guess in current sats atmospheric distortion in the best weather conditions can be almost totally eliminated. Current spy sats are probably rubbing up against diffraction-limited angular resolution.

@faiq026 11 дней назад

Simplification exists because it's not worth the dev's time to add a feature that'd probably cause a lot of bugs and issues while at the same time have little impact on players' experience. Competitive multiplayer games are different from RPG games, in that if you play it what makes you feel immersed is the feeling of competing with other players, not feeling like you're in a real real combat. Same thing for games like CS2(bombing sites as terrorists) or COD(launching nukes), the narratives there are just packages, not the content itself Edit: the game never claims to be a combat sim, it's just a military based online game.

@ares106 11 дней назад

@@faiq026 Good points, I don't think it's a bad game, rather it's not a game for me. I'm all for devs have a concise vision and restricting features that are out of scope. It's just that for me I can never get around the fact that no infantry exists especially in a game that tries to be so realistic and historical and great at simulating damage models and so on. Another pet peeve (not sure if war thunder is an offender) if when these free to play online games put a random mish mash of vehicles from different nations on the same team. I can't get around the Battleship Yammato and HMS Hood fighting as allies. But I understand these are concessions to making a free to play MP battle arena game, which is why I can never take these games seriously.
