Zip fuel missiles.

Why don't people bring up zip fuels more?

Avalanche control is a part of scheduled small unit military exercises in Danternoust.

Large caliber mortars are used, with redundant fuses.

too much realism

almost nihilism

is future of warfare plastic explosive launched by catapult?

Soviet Gigantomania was ... interesting. I wonder how concentrated production would have become if Khrushchev did not introduce modest reforms for regionalism. Arming a light utility is a just about workable solution if you can't get hold of anything better but pretty much everyone with a reasonable...

Or you could just use your FTL technology to send astronomical data to the past.

If FTL is measured as the speed in which one can send the smallest indivisible unit of information over a distance faster than light can travel, than FTL is more possible than otherwise.

Fortifications against air, not infantry.

At least that is modern doctrine, correct?

My troops use lithium perchlorate for smokeless heaters.

It burns at 500 centigrade though.

my space fighters are single-stage space craft using dual-mode ion engine capable of expelling ions in air or space

So what’s the main organization tree for army’s. Like army, division, battalion etc... Also, what’s the heaviest possible (and still effective/precise) urban warfare setup ? Organization depends largely on the short term memory capacity of the commanding officer, the more subordinate units, the gre...

Hmm. Air-Land-Sea-Space-Society Battle? Did I miss anything?

I think a single city is too small to be considered as battlespace, and a snide quip that the battle is lost before it begins fails to consider alternatives if the opponents seeks to win.

It doesn't look very sloppy handwriting resistant.

Do you intend to write only on wax or clay tablets in large print?

How large is your alphabet? With maybe a number symbol, you could reuse your alphabet for numbers.

You reinvented metal foam, but with thinner structures. A metal foam is a cellular structure consisting of a solid metal (frequently aluminium) with gas-filled pores comprising a large portion of the volume. The pores can be sealed (closed-cell foam) or interconnected (open-cell foam). The defining ...

The Orthodox church has been resilient to the loss of Constantinople, and the crusader conquest of Jerusalem, what could be done to subsume the Orthodox church to Catholicism? It's not possible in CK2, sad as that is. do not tell an autist that something is impossible over something he is enthusias...

Random idea. Soft launched torpedoes that sit in the water doing nothing for maximum silent launching. Have them loiter around for a while than acquire targets and fire up their engines when the sub is safely gone. Probably idiotic in real life but you do have to admit the idea would be cool. Self-...

The number of mounted weapons systems is proportional to the unsubmerged surface area of the ship. But broadside torpedo tubes, missile spam, and underwater battles! Come on. It will be so cool! Hmm. Rotate Typhoon-class submarine 90 degrees for maximum broadside with special designed torpedoes?

I wonder if a embassy/fortress that can hold a staff of 16,000 employees wouldn't be subject to a siege in NS-tier conflicts?

I think in a post-apocalyptic climate change world, you need ships that can regularly survive hypercane conditions or maybe monster waves. This would require a wide flat ship with very high levels of watertightness and buoyancy. Surviving lesser sea states would simplify design and allow for a more ...

I want to conquer the world. All of it. And place my hyperincestuous offspring on every throne. I want lizard-horseman hybrids. I ruined Christendom, I mended the schism, and then I unveiled my secret society of Paulicians, and within a few decades, turned Orthodoxy into a heresy. France has fallen...

Amazing thing in Red Dragon is that you can't even overwhelm CIWS defenses.

Still, can't shoot down an armor piercing shell. Rocket-assisted projectile warheads mounted on missiles?

In 2300 AD, the Rich and Corporations military consists of three people. The first one writes jokes so funny it can kill you. He is humorless. The second one writes forum posts so trollish and viral it will bring a nation to it's knees as people make arguments over it. The third one is an award win...

If we live in five dimensions, the trick is to design an aircraft to exist in five spatial dimensions, outdoing all three dimension aircraft.

But seriously, what is with all the talk about life and buoyancy and thrust?
