Nope.

Nope.

I was only referring to accuracy...

We've been over this. And everybody here is into lots of dakka, even realism-obsessed me. Why else would I create something like the Nova?

That's what I call dakka! Need to make more giant miniguns.

There is no scientific basis for that.

Truth is, neither longbows nor medieval crossbows were very accurate, which is why they fired in volleys.

If I had to choose a more accurate weapon, I'd say the Crossbow would be because bolts could be made more uniform, and would have less drag due to their smaller size. Additionally, the greater power present in crossbows and the nature of crossbows as a weapon with a fairly uniform firing, as opposed to a longbows which heavily relies on the human firing it to have a perfect form, would lend itself to more consistent shots.

It looks fine to me. Plus, it doesn't need to be on full auto.

I'll admit, all other things considered, Aterria's whole schtick with changing governments is something I find quite unique and creative. Now that you've done it a second time, move the timeline along like you did from the 30's to 50's, and don't just tack on "fascism" and a new flag. Also, your disingenuous tech drives me nuts. It would've been forgivable if you'd made it explicitly punky, though.

I like your new flag, by the way.

can anyone center the tree in my flag? I still want it on the left side, but I don't think it's equidistant between the red stripes.

MSPaint can do it just fine, frankly. If you use versions from Windows 7 up.

You're right, it wasn't. I had to drop one pixel from the height of the Image to get it to center properly, though.
