RRoan you leave me no choice your aggressive and inspirationally marketed MILFtank is too powerful for your own good

you're going to burn

Anemonian Armoured Forces Geostrategic Review and Reorganisation 2012 : Reconfiguration of the military towards maximum tracked, wheeled and hovertank rage.

1. Wheeled Tank for Rapid Mobility

Tanks cost money. Money doesn't grow on trees. Objective is to create a high performance main battle tank that doesn't need track maintenance, with competitive starting prices and maximum resale value.

Image

Upgrade package for existing vehicle. By existing vehicle, we mean C-c-carta family car. By upgrade package, we mean an FSSO tank turret and eight solid fuel rocket boosters for russia strong

plexiglass window and Prius-thin metal provides protection against pretty much everything. Autoloaders cost as much as like a whole Xbox so we got some bum to push shells into the gun instead, now we rollin'

M1 Abrahams may have heavier armour, but familytank has better fuel economy. Comes in 7 colours

2. Nuclear Tank for Rapid Holocaust

Image

Modification package for existing vehicle. Make all ammunition nuclear and strap ICBMs to tank for improved first hit power

2bn research funding for 12.7mm nuclear bullet

even the emergency rifle grenades are nuclear

I drink radiation for breakfast.

3. Raegtank for Rapid Anger

Image

strap a raegface onto hovertank

fast and fucking furious

no armour, pre-pubescent raeg shoots down projectiles like some kind of retarded hormone fuelled APS

raeg alloy has up to 250% more penetration than depleted uranium because this tank is more pissed off than Trident

two antennas for motherfucking C4I, where is your god now

your god is up my ass, that's where FUCK YOU



to all the haters; get a sense of humour. strictly speaking, this counts as tank design too

no seriously, it does

Does anyone else have any comment on my armor layout? It's on the last page but only one person commented... :(
Purpelia does not reflect my actual world views. In fact, the vast majority of Purpelian cannon is meant to shock and thus deliberately insane. I just like playing with the idea of a country of madmen utterly convinced that everyone else are the barbarians. So play along or not but don't ever think it's for real.

Would a Torchwood-like organisation in my nation make me PMT or MT?

I mean, they'd have stuff like gate-ways to other worlds, possibly energy weapons and definitely the ability to warp space and time: but, it'd only be for RP's specifically directed at that kind of organisation. So would having this kind of tech kept in reserve make me some other tech level?

You do realize that PMG/MT/FT are just labels used by people to help them pick partners during RPing? As in you can have what ever you want in your nation be it alien portals or cavemen with clubs. All that matters is that when roleplaying with someone who does not care for such things you silently act as if you don't.

See this factbook as an example: viewtopic.php?f=23&t=24858

That's the way to do it.

I tend to be more strictly realistic than he does, but I've got my tech mostly worked out from Turn-of-the-century/WW1 to MT, plus a little XVIII/XIX Century stuff, plus a developing FT incarnation (I don't really do PMT). So if I see something I like the look of that's in one of those time frames, I can participate. I also RP as strongly isolationist, so I don't get out much. Having 3 small kids does things to your time; isolationism lets me keep my NS participation in tune with my life.

Mmmm first post.

Basically, I am outlining my military at the moment. Currently, I know that I want:
Army
Air Force
Navy
Special Forces Command (separate because it recruits from all three of the above branches)
National Guard



Is there any other branch I would have use for? Also, what is the overall difference between an army and marines? Is it worth creating a marine type branch?


Thanks!

Marines are just amphibious assault infantry deployed from ships. You can have Marines or like me just have a specialized Army Regiment or two.

He might be asking more about US Marines vs. the US Army. Definition gets kind of muddled. The traditional definition of a "marine" is just a soldier deployed from a ship. Modern-day US Marines are more of a rapid-response expeditionary force, who aren't exclusively limited to amphibious operations. They deploy from aircraft, operate armored vehicles, and as I understand it, basically act as conventional US ground forces independent from the Army. The main difference is that Marines can be deployed quickly nearly anywhere on the planet, where the Army is larger but slower to get moving.

I think that is true of any Marine force in western countries at least. I still support the idea however that there is nothing the Marines can do that a specialized Army unit couldn't do. It really depends on your military structure and your nations history. You have to ask yourself, does having Marines make sense?

There is no particular reason Marines should be a separate branch.

Would there be reason to keep Special operations/Special forces/Whatever as their own command instead of army, navy, etc. maintaining SF units? Size of SF units/organizations compared to rest of military?

Well Special Forces command arose in the US to coordinate different SF units from different branches. Which is one good reason to keep a SF command or something similar around.

Second certain SF units draw from all branches in the US, they don't have to in your country. Thus that unit gains from being move to a different command to make things simpler.

SOCOM is a sensible organization because special forces these days do so many things, many or which are mostly or entirely independent of larger forces.
