Well, I've missed a bit, haven't I?

Amphibious RHIB vs HALO parachuting into a hurricane debate.

Huh, interesting.

Amphibious RHIB vs HALO parachuting into a hurricane debate.

Huh, interesting.

Right now, we are counting the many ways we can all horrifically die and fail the mission before even making contact with the enemy.

-Also, your flag is improving my mood, thank you.

Anyways, the point is, we are doing an awesome insertion, under awesome extreme conditions, to stop an awesome weapon and deliver awesome justice within an awesome time-limit.
*And we are complaining?

On top of this, one of these complaints, is that someone on the enemy team apparently expects this level of awesome to crush their nuclear testicles like a legion of Chuck Norris... and he isn't crying for mercy yet, why?

I mean, the only way to make it more awesome, is that we mount horses before jumping out the back of the plane and perform a vertical cavalry charge from space, then escape by surfing sharks with frigg'n lasers strapped to their heads back to a secret underwater seabase manned by talking dolphin-waitresses. AND NOT ONCE DO WE DROP OUR MONOCLES.

It's been like 4-5 pages, so yeah.

We weren't doing this in the first place?

Well then. You should go have fun with that. HALO is actually I think too high-tech for the TSB, and I suppose that the RP's already started. But how does starting RPs in here actually work?

Other than, the monocle bit, yeah. Or was it the parachuting bit?

High Altitude (drop) Low (chute) opening.

HALO.

Not combat evolved shit.

The 1960's era technique of getting a boner from watching the ground come up to fuck you from space.

Yeah, I know about HALO, not the video game series. (Ironically I learnt what HALO was from the Halo series, as there is a HALO body armour piece in Halo: Reach.) But I wasn't aware that it was around since the sixties.

[Padnak]

I'm all for just strapping our dudes onto SCUDs then sending them in...

When were parachutes invented? ASKING GOOGLE.
1790. So yeah.

You're especially rude for someone who doesn't particularly know me.

Good luck, you'll need it.

[True American States]

I don't mean to be a condescending ass but couldn't y'all cruise missile the crap out of the cove' s launching system with say a submarine or something? Is Cortez hiding the nukes within the island or does Atlas have Intel on where he's keeping them? I should go reread the rp again.

Edit - maybe the SAMs are able to shoot down any incoming missile. Iron dome shit. Or maybe the MIRV is located underground or something.

It's actually older, but they didn't have a name for it then.

John Stapp developed the system back in '47, then they found someone crazy enough to actually do it, Joe Kittinger, who went for broke and did the ultimate freefall. First used operationally (presumably doing backflips off of SR-71s) were SEAL team 6 into Vietnam, not sure why.

ICly, our favorite cantankerous Hurti cripple, Pedro Mendez, broke both his legs doing a HALO-insertion from an ICBM into a water-fountain so that he could preside over a military-tribunal.
^Best, street-judge, ever.

[The United Remnants of America]

*slithers around, checking threads* Hmm, this seems to have had ample discussion of RHIBs(Rigid-Hulled Inflatable Boats), V-TOLs(Vertical Takeoff and Landing) planes and SCUD(???) missiles.

Don't overestimate cruise missiles. A tomahawk would spend 37% of its power just fighting wind, and both TERCOM and DSMAC would be heavily impaired by heavy rain and fog. Not to mention the navigation difficulties that the wind and turbulence would cause. And that's all assuming the turbulence doesn't just tear the missile apart.

It doesn't even need to tear the missile apart, all the wind has to do is tip the missile far enough that the missile has no hope of fixing its course.

Also, IIRC, cruise missiles are the ones that fly right over water, right? A nice torrent of wind or a sudden wave could do away with a missile.(Not good on my naval warfare, so this may not be cruise missiles.)

[True American States]

Oh yeah speaking of which did y'all mention per chance what category level the hurricane was?

[The United Remnants of America]

Like, a high number. Probably 4-5ish

Y'all gonna HALO jump into that? That's a shit sandwich with the bread.

Do you have a better idea? I'd much rather jump into than fly into it.
