What is the main military weapon of your country?

[Saurisia]

Try helicopters, they're much easier to start with. I struggle with the caterpillar tracks and the details, personally. I might just screw the pic and write the much-needed statblock for my MBT...

Helicopters?

*threadjack*

The DAS-30 Nazareth supercopter. Yes this can carry an entire company of troops or be transformed into a gunship with an MTOW of 50,000KG.

/advert

Wouldn't the rotor blades chop off the tail?

Nope, and you'll find out why when I release the thing.

Screw your chopper, I am going to make a helicopter that can carry an entire Anglo-Saxon company (271 men).

We just use Paratroopers.

You train every soldier to be a paratrooper?

I don't put 271 men on a single aircraft unless they are about to paradrop.

Helicopters allow for more precision. Also nothing is more demoralizing than seeing a fleet of 10 giant helicopters with heavy cannon opening fire on you, except when those choppers land and let loose 2,700 soldiers.

You know what that sounds like to me?

A target-rich environment.

If you consider massive gunship/transports easy targets, than yes. I am going to give them armour plating, and will not use them on the front lines unless I have complete air superiority.

And only if you can play "Ride of the Valkyries".

You mean, like this?

It's a lot harder to shoot down 2700 Paratroopers than it is to shoot down 10 LOL HUEG helicopters.

If I want precision, I'll use many smaller helicopters instead of a few huge.

Machine gun. Also, I have like 30,000 special forces who act as general purpose marines, scouts, and paratroopers, these choppers are for the infantry mechanized. I think they could prove useful when invading a country like Fatattutti, since he portrayed his country as rough terrain, and no infrastructure during a debate, I figure a couple dozen of these would allow me to use my mechanized forces in mountains, and for them to have better speed, as well as acting as massive gunships, to rape his infantry based army.

A helicopter that large is going to basically be impossible to armor to a large degree. Armor is really heavy, and if you're carrying close to three hundred people with gear... well, that means a lot of volume, which means a metric fuckton of weight to reach any significant amount of protection over most of the helicopter.

Obviously it can't have much, but enough to protect against a 7.62 NATO should do.

[Satirius]

Dude that would have to have six spinning blades, a massive engine and extremely complex computer system to manage it all. I would very expensive, slow and a giant target!

What you mean, "slow?" Mi-12 can do 260 kmh, that's faster than a Huey.

And complex computer systems? All you need to do is have the rotors spin into the gaps, which should be a matter of simple timing

But can it transport 271 men? All the blades would have to be upscaled along with everything else.

it's a simple matter of proportion, as long as you keep it the same you should be fine...to a point.

With lots of guns and 271 soldiers. Imagine how horrifying it would be to have 271 soldiers suddenly arriving on the battlefield. My Imperial Army probably shouldn't use if for front line combat, because my troops are expensive as hell to train and equip, and if one chopper goes down I lose a $100 million chopper, and probably around $200 million is soldiers' equipment and training costs, but for zerg rush armies 100 of them would only cost 10 billion (for comparison I think Lyras sells armoured division packages for about that much), and will allow you to drop off an entire division.

That's what the heavy cannons are for (maybe I could make a gunship variant similar to an AC-130). But yeah, as long as I can sell them I am happy, I don't care if the nations that buy them from me get horribly mauled because they tried to launch an attack with them unsupported.
