Mongolian Gang. On topic of nuclear bombers. has there been attempt at putting a nuke with a long fuse/delay so low altitude bombers could bomb. Like with conventional weapons designed for the same purpose. A fuse that delays detonation long enough for the launching aircraft to get clear is standar...

Sooo I did a bit of reading up on the OH-1, and I found that 1) in its last year of production (2010) it cost about 21.6 million USD, 2) it has a range of 550km on internal fuel and 720km with 2 external fuel tanks, 3) the transmission and rotor hub is protected against 20mm and the rotor against 1...

O: I forgot to specify a timeframe - Hinachi isn't as advanced as the US, so the Cobra alike was probably introduced in the early 70s, the Tiger alike in the late 80s, and the Comanche in...the early 10s? IDK when the Comanche could have entered service IRL even. That gives a gap of 40 years or so ...

Is a carbine just a sawn-off rifle Well yes but also no. Historically it just meant a longarm for cavalry/mounted infantry use. Generally this meant shorter and lighter but it some times just meant no bayonet mount and a side bar. Today it generally means a short firearm that uses rifle ammunition,...

Many moons ago in the days when the multipose bezerker kit was new the "lore" for my CSM force was that they were relatively new renegades (about half of my SM chapter) and in the process of splitting into different factions. However as they still fairly cohesive and successful they tended...

What's better the excertus imperialus or the astra militarium

I'm curious about it. I've heard that the S-400 and F-35 are simply not compatible, and I was thinking it would be cool to have the two in my military. But from what I've read it seems impossible, and I was wondering what someone else would say, in addition to the sources I've found. I think you mi...

I am probably going to replace my main Assault Rifle, ideas welcome. I chose the SA-80 as a starter because it is British and it's better than most say. :) Honestly iterms 9f what is available on the RL market your options really some flavour of AR-15 be it from HK, Hemel or one of the various us c...

This is Ideal Britain so the SAS probably handles the telly tax.

Nah the special skills of the regiment are required to take down folks who post spicy stuff on twitter.

. Of course that's making the assumption that LEOs in Ideal Britain aren't already capable of doing so... They are but like in any country they can be ambushed. Far-right English nationalists are likely to ambush them. Sex traffickers are also likely to ambush them but that's a capital offence anya...

snip I appreciate the feedback and support. I made my Military factbooks roughly 3 years ago and have not given them a massive overhaul/update since their creation. I’ll work on updating them today. If anyone else can find flaws or things to change/update, that would be great! Perhaps look at moder...

RPG-7 or Bazooka? This depends on what you mean by "bazooka". If you mean the original M1/M9 bazooka, well it was a bit shit even when introduced and had the war gone on a few months more would have largely been replaced by the M20 super bazooka. Sadly the ending of ww2 and budget cuts me...

The official residence of the monarch of the Kingdom of Crookfur is McRiderch castle in the capitol city of Kirkhill. McRiderch Castle is more commonly known simply as the Octopus due to the 8 wings/galleries that link the central "King's Keep" to the 8 great towers of the main curtain wal...

can a f22 attack 4 targets simultaneously? Or at least more than one? The only ones I could pick out is the f-14, mig-31 and Rafael. This is due to the on board radar system right? Multiple target simultaneous engagement at BVR requires 2 main things, a radar capable of operating in Track While Sca...

Could someone lose a security clearance because their brother is an insurgent? Why or why not? It could go either way. If the subject is open about and strongly denounces their sibling then that's probably going to allow them to granted basic clearance but they will forever be closely monitored and...

Is there lore law saying a guardsman can not pick up enemy weapons to carry on the fight? I know there one about reverse engineering. The problem with the question is that it assumes consistency. You could very easily have a guardsman, in the middle of combat, pick up a rifle with an eight point st...

-snip- If recoil operating firearms that employ a rotating barrel don't have such a restriction, why would a rotating barrel blowback? It's going to end up with a long bullet to cheat the wind better, so that would help. -snip- It's more realistic than my soldiers are tbh. I like it. On short recoi...

From a European perspective anytime from the mid 1500s to late 1700s would be plausible. Dutch, Portuguese, UK or France would all work as discovers. UK/France would also be plausible colonizers Thank you. Would all European colonial powers want to take the islands by violent means? Generally no un...
