Given a translator, can you even imagine Leonardo DaVinci and Hideo Kojima in a room together?
whatever tf this is

A weapon to surpass Metal Gear…

Second floor basement?!?!!

Surpass metal gear?
defaultusername@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
No, because Da Vinci died in 1519, whereas Kojima was born in 1963.
TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Yeah, hence “a translator”. You didn’t think I meant from Rennaissance-era Italian to modern Japanese, did you? No one person could probably do that. I meant a translator from this plane to the next.

Was genuinely fun to drive and use on Assassin’s Creed.

It must have been one of the Ezio ones, right? I do not recall this machine from the games.

I love he was inventive enough to design a tank a couple centuries before anyone actually built on, but couldn’t piece together a better idea for aiming in any direction than “cannons pointed in every conceivable direction.”
andallthat@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I guess that’s how ship cannons worked at the time. Powerful but heavy to move, slow to reload, not very accurate… more of them would give you the only way to have sustained firepower.
But Leonardo also left a lot of these sketches that look less like actual projects and more like the superhero fantasies of an extremely gifted six years old. “And look, this shit has cannons… Cannons EVERYWHERE! Bam! Kapow!”. I guess it’s what happens when your so great at drawing that even the doodles you do when bored look like masterpieces.

Old man Da Vinci furiously scribbling while also delivering the overexcited stream-of-consciousness babble of a little kid with his favorite thing
bstix@feddit.dk 2 weeks ago
They used muzzle loaded cannons at his time, so it makes sense. It’s not only for direction, but for faster rate of fire.
Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
Why shoot at ome target when you can shoot at 30? (as long as they’re evenly encircling the machine)
PieMePlenty@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Yeah, he designed these things for Sforza because designing war machines pays money.
JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
War. War never changes.

Thank you now I understand I thought he liked slaughter?
PieMePlenty@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Its possible he did. People had different sensibilities 500 years ago.

The machina magnigica!

Imagine paying for a weapon design only to end up with two incomplete designs and one being a stupid flying thing that will never work and a bunch of naked people pictures l.
He is one of my favorite historical figures, but he must have been absolutely infuriating to deal with.
Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I bet he had ADD with all those hobbies he collected.

No don’t do this. You’re giving gaijin ideas.
It’ll be the next tank on Warthunder, under the Italian tech tree.

Might make a fun Christmas event
LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 2 weeks ago
Stupid is what it is, there isn’t enough room for ammo or to physically reload all those cannons. what a rube
uSSRI@hexbear.net 2 weeks ago
Not to mention theres no way like 5-6 dudes could maneuver that around when it’s got 40 cannons on it, never mind the ammo too
TheTimeKnife@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
If only we could have gotten Da Vinci and the Hussites together in order to build a wooden mech covered in cannons.

Best i cam do is an orange shit and his goons threatening immigrants and kids.

Da Vinci definitely would have played Orkz.

How are the hair spring driven robots more efficient than one big hairspring to drive this thing??
DaVinci needs to take a class on physics.

And if they listen to him then we could have started air travel early and had a moon base by now.

Nah, moon dust is radioactive. Place isnt that nice.
TomArrr@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Now we know what a spinny tank is for, a radioactive moon dust displacer.

Clearly a tank
snooggums@piefed.world 2 weeks ago
According to the documentary Futurama it is a tank with crab legs!
