Yeah, I have seen it take one drone for a kill or as many as five (or more), depending on the armor. Still thought, a top-down hit on tanks are going to be rough. Even if you don't have confirmation, you can make a good guess on the damage based on where the hit was, the attack angle of the drone and the explosive used.
This kind of skill might help developers build AI agents that identify buttons or fields on a webpage ~~to handle tasks like making a reservation at a restaurant.~~

What if Bethesda doesn't pay Origin though?
That's exactly what a bot would say.
You can start to track this down by reverse image searches if you are that curious. It's a crap story, so the actual source is going to be ambiguous.
This was the first I found, posted on the 4th, and I am not linking to it directly.
There are plenty of estimates out there, but it's extremely scattered. The problem is that there are dozens of conditionals attached. For example, if a vehicle was just damaged was it actually recovered? If it was recovered, was it actually repairable? If it was repairable, did it make it back into service? If it made it back into service, how does it count against all previous estimates?
I exaggerated a little, but the point remains. Especially with Russian vehicles, actual numbers are so obscure, probably even their own commands couldn't give you an answer.
So. Probably the most reliable way to make educated guesses is to make estimates on visible reserves factoring in visually confirmed total losses. Covert Cabal and his buddies on YouTube seem to do a fairly good job of tracking Russian reserves using the latest satellite pictures.
After all of that, I don't have a good answer for you. There is a somewhat reliable way to get "before and after" data but anything that happens in between is anyone's guess.
Ok, this conversation is going to go nowhere. There is a clear divergence in what we both say vs what we interpret each other saying. We can probably both keep trying to explain our points, but it will just lead to an endless cycle of nonsense.
What my familiarity is with one ideology or another is irrelevant to this thread.
But yeah, ml/c/usa is a great example of mostly anti-west mass posting by a vocal minority. We could get into specific subjects and events that may or may not be true, but that risks detailing the point of this thread. (This may have changed over the last few months, but I doubt it.)
For generic cut-n-paste responses, all you usually need to do is mention anything about Ukraine or Chinese gost cities. Those are just two glaring examples, but I am sure there are more.
Your experience is going to be different because you likely have different views than me. That's not good or bad, it just is what it is.
No, I am not a fan of .world either. It's got its own set of issues.
I have and blocked nearly all of it. They have fuck-all to do with Marxism or Communism and mainly focus on Kremlin and CCP anti-west propaganda.
It's worse than the "conservative" communities, actually. It's not so much about promoting a cause as it is about telling everyone else how they are "bad". Any dissent is usually met with insults or walls of cut-n-paste posts that all point back to state media sources or fake sites.
While all places have their own degrees of circle-jerk mentality, it can be especially bad in some corners of Lemmy.
Hey. I made that joke first about hell freezing over. Booo!
I thought it was nudie calendars of Olga Skabeyeva and RT news, but you can call it whatever you want I guess.
Now she is doing this for the lulz, or something.
