He kind of was one. Unfamiliarity with old ships and their exact capabilities was forgivable, but he was too arrogant and too confident in tech advantage. This was a highly nonstandard situation and he failed to adapt due to his preconceptions. Simply too inflexible.

something something diesel-electric subs something something winning war games against nuclear carrier group something something

No, but for real -- it does crack me up the US lost 6 war games against sweden's diesel electric submarine

and oh yeah, 40 years ago it happened as well when the NRP Barracuda also defeated the USS Eisenhower.

    Wait until you find out that during the interwar period, the US lost every wargame against Japan before 1935.

    The question is what tactics was Amagi-chan using that seemed familiar?

    That's purposefully ambiguous, because there's only so much detail I can impart through a 4-koma format. The important detail here is that whatever tactics were enacted, that Musashi recognized them but can't quite place where from.

    This is mostly correct, except he and Amagi-chan didn't have the speed advantage. Believe it or not, the Yamato-class can outrun a Zumwalt or Arleigh Burke and that's without even cross-connecting boilers. Certainly the modern-day destroyers could easily out-maneuver Akagi-chan and company, but not outrun them.

    What quite a few people forget is that the Yamatos were,by Wikipedias' standards,Fast Battleships at a modest 27 knots.

    And of course that terminology is just as screwed up as a lot of Naval terminology is...

    If I were to level one criticism against this guy, it's that he let the enemy vessels get too close. He had a speed advantage over every enemy vessel with the possible exception of Spence and his radars also gave a pretty decisive detection advantage. If he had conducted a fighting retreat, he would have forced the enemy to spread out to chase him down and while Spence might have been able to catch up, Mr. Sea Sparrow and Mr. Harpoon would not have been her friend. He also wouldn't have had to deal with Akagi's aircraft and Musashi simultaneously. Akagi-chan did seriously gimp her striking range when switching to the triple-flight deck loadout so after dealing with Spence and Akagi-chan's aircraft, he could have closed in and either knocked out Akagi-chan with numerous Harpoon strikes or blasted Musashi/FdG with multiple SAM shots to the bridge while staying out of gunnery range, depending on which unlucky sod he spotted first. Instead, he ended up facing all of them at once and paid the price for it.

    No, his biggest mistake was that he got overconfident.

    Ethan will never be able to end the comic,because AL will not stop until everysingle vessel has a lil' version.

    Which would be great,just seeing him make those little ones do all kinds of tomfoolery.

    Does make me wonder if he has any plans for the little ones he showed of at the very first strip.

    95% shit of this guy are just AI-generated with certain fixing + effect
    Kinda pathetic that no one can tell

    I agree that all the recent stuff from this artist gives AI vibes... characters are rarely wearing cannon outfits... identifying character details are sometimes missing... all images are of popular characters with readily available pre-trained LoRAs... So, yeah, with all that in mind, it seems like there's a very strong chance that it's all AI with minimal human intervention- ie, apply a Gaussian noise filter at 6% opacity, maybe add some text. lol. But in my experience reporting AI gen images, reports that aren't well-substantiated by a detailed description of visible AI artifacts in the image in question are often unsuccessful. And, yeah, people can't tell AI pieces and human pieces apart at a glance-- that's kind of the whole point of the way that the AI has been trained. I don't think it's reasonable to expect people to be able to identify AI works at a glance. We're in a sticky situation with AI. It's good enough now that it can pass as human under many circumstances. previously reliable tells like hands and melty lines have become much more subtle. There's no easy answer here. I look at this image and say yeah, it gives me AI vibes, it has the look and feel of a work that the machine can produce; but, I also have spent quite a bit of time (and money, in the form of a GPU) playing with the models, seeing what they can and can't produce, what they struggle with, where they break, firsthand. and, I can't give you a 100%, or even a 90%, guarantee that this image is indeed AI gen. I've been fooled before in both ways. In this particular image, the resolution is too low to zoom in really far and start looking for "human" artifacts-- brush patterns in the shading and line work, colour spillover from fill tools, ect. So it becomes very difficult to say something with a high level of certainty. Considering the other works from the artist, and when they started posting works that look like this, yeah, we can say with a fairly high level of certainty that this artist who "just happened" to start producing works that look like AI images around two years ago, and then also started producing much better looking images a bit under 1 year ago (when the XL models released) is probably not being honest about how these images are being produced. Still, even though it seems quite obvious from our perspective, good luck getting any action taken, either against the artist or against any one work.

    I like how Asuna's personality doesn't change ever in any kind of tense situation, she's just happy to be there, whatever the situation is.

    RIP Aru though, she's now the scapegoat for Sensei's shenanigans.

    So this girl got blamed for someone else getting a boner (and not the people having sex), points out she didn't do anything and gets shoved face first into said boner before she has a chance to say a thing and told to suck? I know this is porn logic and all but this is just vaugely uncomfortable.
