@criver "Go read some more about plasma cutters until you manage to figure out the difference between a plasma cutter and lightning. As I said - I am done with educating you." I already know the critical differences. You however, still appear to have no clue and you continue to reply with...

@criver "Find yourself some other buddy - I am tired of educating you. Just because you discovered PDEs yesterday doesn't mean that everyone else did so too. Not to mention that this argument shouldn't even have come close to PDEs - it's 30-50K Kelvin plasma for a sustained duration versus...

@criver "Imagine being you and not understanding that mass factors in through the diffusivity in the heat equation:" Yes, I mention mass several times. Ironic you only pick up on it now. So how much mass is in that tank? How much energy do you need to phase change that mass? how much energy...

@hermitowl "Sustained lightning wouldn't do much. most tanks will have Faraday Cage capabilities. Their shells would protect the occupants by diverting all static charge to ground. The big risk of lightning would be the potential to stop the engines from sparking meaning the tanks would just...

@elfalas "On that note, Japan have a history of actually adapting surprisingly fast when they've been severely outmatched, probably part due to them being less rigid about keeping only "nobles" in power compared to most (not all) other nations/militarypowers in the past. (Just means it usually...

@criver "Projection much? Let me guess - this was actually you referring to yourself. You should have gone past basic thermodynamics though and continued onto fluid dynamics if you wanted to be taken seriously. Just because you have never touched a PDE in your life doesn't mean that those do not...

@Kaiserr92 "WW2 pls." I've heard everything between $700-$1500 bandied about. But these are prices adjusted for inflation, which is a whole 'nother can of worms. Never use that price if you're trying to recreate something from the past. "French Indochina was formed on 17 October 1887 from...

@criver "Come again? You do realize you need only the temperature, diffusivity, and the BCs to compute the evolution of your system right? Have you ever heard of the heat equation? No? Good. Now go and learn about it - it describes exactly what will happen to your imaginary tank minus the phase...

@criver " I see you broke. Here, I'll help you:" You still don't understand, do you? Temperature means nothing without energy figures. Do the math! Show the energy! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joule

@CheerTheDead "That was thick. I though WW2 tank is around 1/3 the thickness of Modern tank. I were imagining them to be around 2-3cm thick. Didn’t know they were that heavily armoured. Any WW2 tank you think the mage can effectively deal with using Fireball? I mean any tank that the mage have...

@criver "> heat diffusion equation > highly technical terms U wot m8? One would assume that if you don't even know basics you would refrain from trying to argue. Dunning-Kruger effect much? What's next? You don't know how heat transfer works? Apparently not." With electricity, before you even...

@elhessan "true.. but, where will they learn about it? Leilei has the chance to learn science and combined it with magic. But in this series? I don't think the mages has such opportunity just yet. So, they will relying on raw firepower." I don't know about the mages from the aggressor kingdom...

@Needhydra " read my other post lighting is mostly dangerous to infantry as it will stop you heart in a aoe from the strike but a vehicle will protect you because of the metal shell acting like a Faraday Cage.(open top can get you killed)" Lightning can kill infantry, not so much thermodynamic...

@criver "It's the air near the lightning bolt that is brought to 30K Kelvin for strong lightnings, not some imaginary casing of steel. If that 30K "air" is in contact with your tank heat diffusion will occur. You have yourself a parabolic heat diffusion problem with Dirichlet boundary conditions...

@Kaiser92 "But how expensive is it in term of GDP? How much did they use to spend on infantry's equipment back in the day?" Are you talking WWII or the mideval period of the troops the Japanese are fighting? The former will require research I don't want to do to be honest. The latter: who...

@Mazrinmaus "Anyone else feel like the manga got dementia and doesn't know what it's doing anymore?" Once we get to the final stretch of the last arc, things will become more apparent.

@Sandy "ohhh interesting. but when is GATE S3 😁😂" Probably never. The first 2 seasons did ok according to the studio, but it wasn't well received by the fan base. There's also the matter that the IP is kinda old and the story is finite, and already over. You might want to read the translated...

@thedestroyership "errrr i don't think helicopters can fly that high" Depends on the helicopter. The CH-47 Chinook family has an operational ceiling of 20,000 feet. At over 15,000 feet the crew will probably be sucking on oxygen through masks as the hull is not pressurized. Most thick...
