NS Military Realism Consultation Thread Vol. 11.0

AAI SPIW then

Obviously the G11 is the best option, but you mentioned an overbarell grenade launcher, so maybe look at the XM29 or Daewoo K11.

Just what I was looking for. I’ll use the M16 as a standard issue rifle for New England soldiers and the more advanced stuff for my Rocket Commando Corp.

L85 bolt rifle is good,It's the fastest bolt rifle ever fired （JK ）

[Cossack Peoples]

As the person that was criticized in that particular post for not having a battle rifle I need some help finding some suitable guns that would fit my nation’s retro theme.

I was looking for a particular mod to the M16 I believe that added an extra barrel above the normal one for a larger round.

Good to know you're alright from that, because that german guy was unnecessarily harsh.

[Gallia-]

That is already the case, for the most part.

Sort of. There are commercial constellations with excellent temporal resolution but mediocre-poor ground resolution and state-owned satellite constellations with excellent ground resolution but poor temporal resolution. The NROs collective assets definitely come close but they aren't numerous enough to provide continuous or near-continuous coverage.

Future satellites will likely provide the best of both: Continous or nearly continuous surveillance and very high ground resolution. A particularly important capability of future surveillance satellites will be detection and tracking of moving vehicles, aircraft and humans. Missions currently undertaken by drones, AWACS, MPA, ground radars and the like will be possible from space.

But yes to an extent this is already possible.

Really makes you think about the future of warships and other high visibility objects.

The Q-ship finally displaces the missile frigate.

If you want a retro future M16 there is always the colt acr

[New Vihenia]

So there is this :

These are our latest attack boat. The nuclear one would have a variant/block upgrade which adds Missile and SDV Compartment which bring some maybe about 64 land attack missiles or 32 Hypersonic/supersonic missiles. This adds about additional 2000 tonne of displacement and 20-30 m of length.



The "Lineage" of our attack Submarine, this does not cover variants or special purpose submarine tho.

[Gallia-]

That chart is frighteningly DOD-esque. "Cross pollination" as a term for technology sharing coming to a Powerpoint yawn fest about SSBN-X near you, Soon(TM). Or howitzers. Or gunships. Or F-35 communication architecture.

I should draw Galla's SSNs rly. Or maybe its SSKs. The latter would probably be a more interesting descent while the former just devolves into a linear trend towards stronger, deeper, faster with each passing generation.

[Vasaholm]

hey i was wondering if the orbat i made for the allmänmakten or 'public forces' makes any sense- also note the police reserve is essentially a paramilitary reserve unit which will be activated in the event of crisis

for reference this is like an andorra-sized microstate

Now that's what I'm talking about.

looks fantastic

mb a quartermaster/medical/motor pool at this scale too?

God, it's hard to model 3D Max.I've been struggling for two weeks and found it a huge project
Now I want to draw my missile cruiser. Who can recommend a good software for me?be deeply grateful

[Purpelia]

Use Paint.Net. It's free, windows exclusive (two good reasons to get it) and it combines a lot of the basic features of photoshop with the simplicity of paint.

In other questions can anyone recommend me a good site to upload images? I used to use photobucket but it died. Than I used dropbox but they changed their business model so now you can't share images no more. So now I am unsure what to do.

Deviantart might be worth a look.

[Purpelia]

Ideally I'd want something as lightweight as possible. Like photobucket used to be. Just register, upload and link. Deviantart frankly scares me as it's a whole giant website with its rules and god knows what else.
Frankly I am miffed that this forum does not just have an upload attachment feature like every single civilized forum out there. Would make things so much easier.

This is also good: https://www.gimp.org/

Paint.NET is fine for most lineart purposes tho.

What ship is that?

[Gallia-]

The first is Natori, which is a tiny 540 TEU coaster, the second is Kiyoyasu Maru, which is a coastal cement carrier. There is a third one that is confused for Natori which is named Nagara, which has a slightly higher TEU rating, but is the same length and has some new things. I think they're all operated by Imoto Lines in Japan.

[Communist Xomaniax]

A lot of countries seem to be replacing divisions in favor of brigades, is the division as a military unit obsolete?

[Champagne Socialist Sharifistan]

Is physical strength irrelevant in modern warfare?

[UIS Leviathan]

Is physical strength irrelevant in modern warfare?

Why would it be?

[Taihei Tengoku]

Is physical strength irrelevant in modern warfare?

No.

[The Manticoran Empire]

Is physical strength irrelevant in modern warfare?

Not in the slightest. Combat loads for soldiers have INCREASED in weight over the years to the point where an infantryman is expected to carry almost 100 pounds of gear into battle.

[Austrasien]

Indeed. Soldiers carry more weight routinely now than at pretty much any point in history.

[Spirit of Hope]

A lot of countries seem to be replacing divisions in favor of brigades, is the division as a military unit obsolete?

No, the movement to brigades is a result of reductions in military size and the desire to have more flexibility, it is helped by the fact that a modern brigade can cover a much larger frontage than a brigade from a couple decades ago.

Is physical strength irrelevant in modern warfare?

It depends, as others have noted the weight infantry must carry has increased, and certainly most military jobs require some amount of physical fitness. However most military jobs aren't front line soldiers and your photo reconnaissance analyst doesn't need to be a work out stud.
