NS Military Realism Consultation Thread #6

[Spirit of Hope]

i may or may not have consumed amphetamines on one or more occasions.

if i did, what would have happened is that i would have started at 1pm, began playing hearts of iron 2, blinked and it was 8pm, and then I would refuse all food because i wasnt hungry, even to the moment I went to sleep 42 hours later. If I had taken them, I mean. Which I may or may not have done.

Honestly there are better alternatives now. I have a source that talks about a DARPA study that got 80 hours of combat performance from a newer drug. No addiction, main problem was apparently nausea.

Now the question is, considering the possibility that you took amfetamines, what was the dose? 'Cause I take 20mg of lisdexamfetamine every day in the morning, and I don't stay up for 42 hours straight. More like 10 or 12. I do have to say that it works, however.

And they didn't before...?

The percentage of industry involved in defense-related activities in the U.S. has been going steadily down since WWII, when everyone really was involved.

wot ever

defence industry still makes more bullets than before ; -;

[Purpelia]

Does anyone have any idea about how large the shells and cases should be for a 63mm version of the Zis-5?

[Kouralia]

Do I need a full Recce Regiment at Brigade level, or just a squadron?

[Immoren]

Which ever way you want to do it.

[Imperializt Russia]

Go reconnoitre the shit out of your enemies with a fully-supported reconnaissance unit.
Avoid having your unit commander's tank being *booped* by the 3rd Guards Tank Division's commander's tank.

[Mitheldalond]

Does anyone know the minimum range of a Trident II SLBM?

[Rich and Corporations]

Does anyone know the minimum range of a Trident II SLBM?

When it becomes a cruise missile.

[Imperializt Russia]

Does anyone know the minimum range of a Trident II SLBM?

Probably classified.

[Crookfur]

Do I need a full Recce Regiment at Brigade level, or just a squadron?

Its depends would it just be based on a single main vehicle type or would it be the whole integrated recce team ala CVR(T)( i.e. direct recce AFVs (scorp+scimitar) plus APCs with recce dismounts (spartan) plus ATGMs (striker))

if its option a then yeah a single squadron is likely enough but if option b go the full hog with a fully fleshed out regiment.

Also consider how you feel on the matter.

Okay, I'll probably do the full Regiment then. Like four of these squadrons, and then a Command squadron with an ATGM Troop and the usual stuff.

EDIT: I have space for one extra vehicle at Company Level in an Armoured Infantry Battalion, is a single AMOS 120mm a bad idea?

[Grand Britannia]

Sexy people of NS Military realism, may I have your opinion on whether I'm doin' it right, or wrong you know.

Add a column to the far right which displays the figures as a percentage of the total military budget, for scaling purposes. The figures for the Army at least look like some order of magnitude applied to the US' 2013 DoD budget, so they're probably not unreasonable.

Like this?

Yeah why though, because I wake up at 8am every day and go to bed at 1-2am and I don't take amfetamines regularly. Do you have a sleep disorder?

The dose? Lol. It came in a gloopy mess in a bag. You took a bit out - had the texture similar to chewed chewing gum - and wrap it in a cigarette rolling paper then swallow. I don't know what the dose was.

a high res version of this would be great.

[Anemos Major]

go figure, I miss the one day they put AFVs on Horse Guards Parade

[The Kievan People]

Does anyone know the minimum range of a Trident II SLBM?

2000km is a good ballpark figure. Probably.

Because the Trident is a solid fuel rocket the only thing that can be said for sure is "long".

can you go on IRC if you are online plz.

Accuracy will be crap though.

[National Socialist Korea]

I is needing to learn about realism. So what better ways than to RP 7 nations (actually, 5 or 6 of them) at the same time to get experience?

Sorry, I don't have any better images because these are just from the British Army's HQ London District's Fb page.

Rehearsal on Monday, Final Preparations on Tuesday and Actual Thing on Wednesday

I have a quick question for those here:
Do you think a Gau-8 would set off Kontakt armor when firing at it?

I was having a discussion with a friend about it and was wondering if that was true or not.

No.

Shells are too slow to trigger Kontakt-5.

Ah thanks.

The trident 2 has a maximum range of 7840KM when fully loaded. When downloaded that potentially grows to 11300KM based on what we know about it.
Being inertially guided three-stage, I see no reason why it could be compensated for planetary spin and nuke its own launch point, giving it a VERY short minimum range of 90-120m. Obviously you'd launch it up, then dive and run.
The accuracy of it is actually not that bad, about 90-120m CEP. That's good enough to land within an average city block or two.
