I saw fintime roll a 17 90 degrees in one second.
I guy I used to work for flew a B17 during WW2. He rolled it once when an ice boot failed. He said it was terrifying. He thought he was the only one to ever roll a 17.
Id be ok with the limit to go to 30%. For the maps we use these days each base is worth 2.+% so in many casesyou would only need to take back 2 maybe 3 bases to stop the other team from getting the win. 30% makes you work for it. The Bish did it the other night and it wasnt even a "Sik Puppies" squad night!
Score mongers are always complaining and off the rails doing it. Yes, the attitude goes hand in hand. Do as I say, not as I do. Not a person here dones't know Skyyr was a score freak. You're not seeing it? You post score data. You're always at the top.
I don't have time for circle jerking.
f someone offered a 50-year mortgage in the U.S. today, the rate would almost certainly be higher than a standard 30-year, for a simple reason: lenders price by risk, and stretching the repayment horizon adds both interest-rate risk and default risk.
Here's where that usually lands in practice:
🎯 A realistic estimate (U.S. market, current environment)
If 30-year fixed rates are ~6.5–7.5% (as of late 2025):
40-year fixed mortgages that do exist (non-QM lenders) usually run +1.0% to +1.5% above the 30-year.
A 50-year would almost certainly be:
👉 7.5% to 9%
(Most likely: ~8–8.5% fixed)
You’d only see below 7.5% if short-term rates crashed, and you'd only see above 9% in a tight credit market.
The hidden truth: 50-year mortgages don’t really help
Even at, say, 8%, the monthly payment drop from 30 → 50 years isn’t dramatic:
They reduce payment maybe 10–15% lower than a 30-year.
But lifetime interest paid skyrockets.
You build equity extremely slowly.
Lenders know this—which is part of why these loans rarely exist.
I’ll use a $400,000 loan for examples, since that’s a typical modern mortgage size.
If you want a different amount afterward, I can redo everything instantly.
🔢 Monthly Payment Comparison
Assuming realistic interest rates:
Term Interest Rate Monthly Payment Difference vs 30-yr
30-year 7.0% $2,661 —
40-year 8.0% $2,935 +$274
50-year 8.5% $2,996 +$335
👉 Important:
A 50-year mortgage barely reduces your payment compared to a 30-year when interest rates rise with the term.
💸 Total Interest Paid Over Life of Loan
This is where the shock comes in.
Term Total Interest Paid
30-year @ 7% $558,000
40-year @ 8% $768,000
50-year @ 8.5% $1,018,000
👉 A 50-year mortgage more than doubles the interest compared to the principal.
You end up paying $1M in interest on a $400k house.
🧠 Amortization Reality Check
Equity builds painfully slowly:
In a 30-year, you're ~50% paid off around year 19.
In a 50-year, you're ~50% paid off around year 34.
In the first 10 years of a 50-year mortgage, you barely touch principal.
This is why banks love them and consumers don’t.
I think its silly that people believe most folks will stay in one house their whole life. On top of that, you can always Refinance and pay more on your loan early. Its strange to me no one wants to talk about that.
Its also hilarious to me that when people ask for "lower housing prices" well then that means the current value of your house drops. So why would you want that instead? Is it better for others to have a chance to buy while maintaining the housing market value? Or is it better for the housing market to crash so all the value fades away? Imo, the former is better. If we were to go into another housing market crash, that might mean more people get laid off and couldn't afford a house anyway..
I also find it absolutely hilarious that Dems are finally learning that tax increases artificially increase prices. Who would have ever thought they'd finally bend the knee on that arguement. The blue cities with the highest taxes in the country, and also the highest prices in the country can't put 2 n 2 together on their own policies, but are more than happy to increase taxes every chance they get on "the rich" but funny enough, they dont want to talk about the price increases those bring and "the rich" moving away, thus no more tax revenue at all.
The thing about tariffs is that it forces countries and companies to the table to make better deals. It forces companies to invest in america and create american jobs to avoid tarrifs. And it helps our countries businesses compete on a global scale. I mean I guess its logical leftest wouldnt want that. Who even know what the some of these loonies want.
This person switches sides often to strike a team from a different angle, not a bug deal, but if you think its spying then you should know he does that.
Im not sure why everyone brings up score, I dont know a single player that tries for it except maybe some of the bomber guys. Was Skyrr a score guy? I dont really remember him saying anything or scoring well. I think you mistake this post for crying, im only bringing to light things with the game that can become problems. I adapt just fine to them myself, but people like you won't have the skills necessary and can easily get discouraged.
If people are trying for score im just not seeing it, I could easily be toppled at #1 if someone was making an effort, I think we are all just playing the game, some do it better.
