Dinosaur Systems

[The Blaatschapen]

No i would not buy a dinosaur, it would be absolutely useless in a combat situation.

Wasn't the whole making dinosaurs for military shtick one of the stupid things people hated about the Jurassic World (not Park) movies?

Yes. Almost all of IM's hypotheticals are taken from Movies or TV shows.

I don't think they are absolutely useless.

Almost useless, yes. 100% useless, no


They could serve as a distraction.

Of course, in modern combat, that's what the French are for.

Move to Germany
Become german.

Ludicrously impractical battlefield weapons?

Pah. I can do much better than a living dinosaur.

Despite being the most British fighting vehicle ever developed, the mock Tudor AT-AT was not a success.

[Eahland]

Using dinosaurs in warfare is obviously ridiculous, but I want to get some of these dinosaurs anyway, so I can set up a theme park on a remote island.

I dont know why, I was fooled.

In the face of modern weaponry, dinosaurs are largely irrelevant.

Dinosaurs have been obsolete in warfare since more than 60 million years.

Any civilization after that, has never used dinosaurs in warfare.

Could the Romans take them down if the dinosaurs were organised?

[Abarri]

I'd go with option 2.

These dinosaurs could bring high maintenance cost, and they might...reproduce rapidly?

Not my idea of bioweaponry.

...what is up with this?

Depends, if Hannibal were in charge of the Dinos, we might be onto something.

actually a lot depends on whether Dinos are cold or warm blooded, if they want to cross the mountain ranges

[Perikuresu]

Iirc Romans got completely mopped by Carthage when they saw the elephants, although they would eventually develop their own way of catching elephant chasing them on horseback, let them fall into a pit, and then starve them until they could be transported without much hassle. I doubt this would work against dinos, especially man eating Jurassic Park dinos

Bit of a harmless joke about the French

Let's say he had a few hundred or so properly trained laser-guided dinosaurs (ranging from large T Rexes to Velociraptors)... Enough to be militarily relevant?

Yes, the lasers will be relevant to the equation.

Yes, the lasers will be relevant to the equation.

the lasers would be non-lethal, just combat signallers to help guide the dinosaurs... but they can still be commanded to a lesser extent without them

Say if the Romans had a large number of these free lasers but didn't rely on them

Something tells me there would be no war, rather, the dinosaurs with lasers would be worshipped as gods themselves or incarnations of the gods.

Hannibal crossing the alps with laser pointers is not as exciting as you think it would be.

[Laka Strolistandiler]

Although dinosaurs would be terrible in next to every military application feasible, I believe that given their high intelligence they could see some use here and there for non-combat tasks…

Would he still use the Alps? Or would he alter his strategy and use flat terrain since he has dinosaurs?

Would they be relevant against arrows and swords?

Like scouting in forests?

I’d rather say that given some of dinosaurs supposedly having amazingly good smelling senses they could be used to replace K-9 units in some environments. Intelligent species could also be used for other tasks which IRL are done by animals. Also Dino riders because what 3rd world El Presidente would not want his honor guard to ride on freaking dinosaurs?

Would it be worth it to bid in the millions for them though? Or only for a substantially discounted price?

Velociraptors with battle armour. Discuss.
