NS Military Realism Consultation Thread #4

[The State of Czecho-Slovakia]

I have changed my MBT to the T-55. But what is wrong with the T-72 might I enquire?
edit: never mind...

None of those nasty ciggies in the Kyivan military. Just safe, effective minor tranquilizers to calm the nerves.

Heroin?

In VIhenian armed service... Breast milk directly from its source are the best and highly nutritious ration one can ask.. Vihenian female soldiers..especially those from Valkyrian and Mountain Elf races are blessed or perhaps burdened with this gift.. that they can lactate even without pregnancy. The cause of this phenomenon is unknown..but believed to be caused by physical exercise that stimulate lactations.

That's uh.....certainly the most...interesting ration I have heard of here.

28 knots seems slow for a carrier. It's also smaller dimensionally than an Essex.

I think the complaint was that you said T-72 instead of specifying an updated version. (not to imply that the T-72 doesn't have any flaws though)

What time period are you shooting for? And is it safe to assume you're limiting yourself to only Czech and Slovakian equipment?

With reference to going down from T-72s to T-55s, are you trying to code in a budget restraint or some other type of lore/restriction?

OK I can up the speed, and its not supposed to be a super carrier, but more in line with a medium/fleet carrier.

Nothing's wrong with the T-72, though might I ask what level of military sophistication you're going for? It seems like a slightly aged version of the ČSLA.

[Oaledonia]

Turtles, with land mines on them.

[Galla-]

Ur ruining the thread guis.

Your countries all suck and you should feel bad.

i agree galla is rly the only country worth talking about imo

If you're going MT, you're better off with the T-90 or the T-84, or the M-84, or the PT-91 if you want to use former Eastern Bloc stuff...

Especially the T-90 and PT-91, since they are improvements of the T-72. We've got some stored.

[The State of Czecho-Slovakia]

I'm remaking my MT Army Factbook. Here's what I've got so far:
http://www.nationstates.net/nation=the_state_of_czecho-slovakia/detail=factbook/id=144864

Any suggestions?

Are you trying to list *everything,* or just the stuff that's fun to talk about (like tanks = P ?) Your air defense looks a bit lacking, as do your logistics.

It's not quite finished yet. I'll go back up to the T-72. The variant I'll be using is the T-72M4 CZ. I'm trying to figure out what would have happened if Czechoslovakia had not broken up. I'm aiming for something along the lines of a modernized version of them in the 1980's.

[Romberg]

So.. I'm assuming you're using the LET L-39? Or the modernized L-159 ALCA?

[Chedastan]

80,000 personnel reasonable for a population of 7 million?

Also we use the T-72 as our MBT, and the AK-74M, M16A2 as our main assault rifles.

So, an Australia filled with kitsunes would trump you.

Why do I come up with ideas for alts that I'm never going to get to RP with?

Sure, but optimisation isn't the only path - not every nation is going to have the best, everywhere, all the time, and if you already have T-72s you can easily modernise them to the point where they can engage the tanks listed above without pawning off the national silverware.

The LET is Czech.

The LET is Czech.

So? You mean to tell me that the Czech didn't "borrow" it's designs from Russia?

soviets sux /discussion

[Romberg]

Actually it's one of the few foreign designs that made it IN the Russian air force.

Especially with how close they are to the T-72 to begin with...

Heck, the T-72 he plans on using may as well be called the PTM-90. = P

this made it into the Russian Agricultural Air Force*
