For Mainiac
« on: March 04, 2025, 06:52:24 AM »
There was ZERO animosity detected in his questioning, and this is in no way meant to disparage his character or what he claimed.    I don't know what he saw on his end. On mine, he was sitting in the middle of a wide open field?   Could this be same phenomena as watching planes launch off a carrier, over the water, 1k away? 7:29 is time stamp.   I certainly saw an open field and he thought he was in a bush?  Only reason I posted this is because he brought it up before I landed, and I remembered to save the film. Well, that and this isn't the first time it has been asked lately.   Maybe this is why I get called a cheater and Airjer accuses me of targeting him? LOL :rofl   Read Text buffer soon after Mainiac's questioning. I didn't even notice it until I looked for the right TimeStamp for Mainiac.     Getting a bit tired of Airjer's STUFF. Airjer! Notice how Mainiac was diplomatic about his question?  Less of an "EggPlant" than you?  Go release yourself  :bolt:

Yeah, GVs often think they are "hidden" because some of their own views are blocked.

Here's OPs view from film showing how little of Maine's wirb was "concealed" by the bush in an open field.  Wirb Driver and hull gunner views would be obscured, and the turret would feel surrounded by the bush, but it's still above the bush height. 

Maine firing is what gave OP the location.

The bush(es) wasn't big enough to show until zooming closer in, so Maine's wirb stood out as a teensy speck in an otherwise open field.

Here are some screencaps of OPs film and views.  I have trails on in film to better highlight the wirb.

First potential view.


Shooting doesn't help hiding. 


The wirb has no clothes!


There you are!


In! In! INNN! Notice the lack of bushes from that distance?


Dead shortly after.

Surrounded by suck and underwhelmed with mediocrity.
I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.

TRAILS. It is an option on film viewer that shows movement.
