Obvious answer is a open-cycle nuclear ramjet hypersonic top attack cruise missile. With active radar cancellation stealth. OBVIOUSLY.

That just might work. I assume it has lulzy amounts of AA, anti-missile, and anti-infantry defenses too. Only think it lacks is a grand hall but I'm sure we could cram one in.

This would be shot down by the screening superheavy point defense vehicles using nuclear-tipped HIBEX for great justice. Stelf will be overwhelmed by the dedicated radar superheavies.

Well, it'll actually be controlled by the highly-trained and ludicrously decorated Archduke. The whole thing will have to be crewed by people of at least Knight rank(in the awkward, partially-done feudal system of Indeos. It's still a WIP. Archduke is the third most powerful rank, and one of three that can only be filled by one person at a time), and the officers on board will be even higher. Ffs if it gets taken out every royal family in Indeos will go crazy getting revenge.

Circa 1580:

Two horses, highly armored, right next to each-other, with a single seat hanging between them from harnesses. The man in this seat would be able to peer over the backs of the horses and fire an arquebus at enemies. A barrier protected him from the front and back as well.

In my mind, 1000mm is so lolhuge that I can't imagine it firing successfully or at significant velocity. It'd weigh a couple of tonnes and have a propellant charge weighing another couple of tons, and a 50x1-and-a-bitm barrel would weigh close to a thousand tonnes, I reckon.

Scaling up from the Schwerer Gustav you could expect 12-13 tonne AP shells with charge weights of several tonnes. Of course, since this is an NS lolproject he is probably using absurd overbore powder charges massing several times what the shell does to enable lolvelocities even with the monstrously heavy shells.

Iirc, sometimes people do not know that they are doing something wrong... it is the, i guess to an extent, our responsibility as the better roleplayers to assist, in a nice way of course, the right path towards what is expected.. including their creativity if wanted, of course.

Sometimes you will have individuals which will further argue and assert their points (although it is false), but understandably, with incoming new players periodically into NS.. it is understandable, and again, it is at the end of the day, our duty, i feel, to tell the new players why it is wrong.. although of course, it is up to each individual whether they would like to listen, or not.

Our responsibility is to guide them along the way, in a nice, and welcoming manner, towards what is, generally acceptable, and realistic in a sense within the boundary of NS modern technology for the aforementioned land systems (main battle tanks).

Of course, understandably, some of the new players will try to argue rudely.. and at the end, a heated argument will ensue (as can be seen multiple times with the bolo lulz, ad nauseaum), but still, as the more experienced rpers, we will need to try to help further.

The worst thing that one can do is to alienate the new and eager-of-learning members of the community, which iirc, will not be the best thing for NS.
