[Crazy girl]

I won't bother listing all the systems, just the one unique to my army.


The thread is slightly outdated as the current version also has infra red AA missiles and several other new perks.

[Gethi]

Apart from going into various infantry portable rail guns this is the closest thing in the Rubble Navy to heavy artillery. The THOR nuclear delivery platform is designed to carry 60 missiles to a launch point. Each missile can reach very high speeds and they are normally armed with a 25mt nuclear warhead although biological and chemical warheads have also been cleared for deployment via THOR. Due to the size of THOR most ships in the Rubble Navy carry only one or two, a large ground based version was considered but for obvious reasons never built.

THOR is normally used against fleets of huge size of against planets where the detonation of so many warheads in quick sucessesion can (on smaller planets) cause an extinction event.

Although I designed this I have to give credit to Hive Mind Primus. I came up with this while trying to think of a way to defeat his hive ship.

I love this very much, but have you thought about replacing the warheads with something similar to the Casaba Howitzer? A nuclear shaped charge, each with a plasma front traveling at 3% of the speed of light, beats any chemical rocket

Or if you really want you can put a self forging penetrator, so that a single warhead drives the SFP (which would be traveling at a relativistic velocity) which is then followed up by a jet of plasma. This would punch right through any armor and target's interior would be vaporized by a pillar of atomic fire.

Of course if you can't beat bombs for target saturation. An extinction level event may be possible with several of your platforms, but if you want to be absolutely sure you wiped out all living life, you're gonna need a couple more orders of magnitude worth of munitions (i.e. several exatons of TNT to boil the oceans, blow off the crust, burn the atmosphere).

I have thought of upgrading the THOR but I've really had no need to seeing as apparently one of my cruisers can blow up a planet with a volley from it's railguns (according to some other RPers). Now all I use THOR for is as a broom, one THOR can quickly sweep away an enemy fleet's smaller vessels, giving my navy a shot at their capital ships.

[The BranRiech]

the BRAP-52 is the main artillery platform used by the Branriech, it is placed at all border areas and sometimes deployed in the field of battle by heavy dropships

You need to motorize those guns.

Why? He still won't be able to keep up with most mechanized armies because his tanks are slow as fuck and have no suspension system. Makes victory all the easier for me, we outrange him, out gun him, and can outrun him with our artillery.

[The Anglo-Saxon Empire]

Also, don't have an image yet, but it will be my MBT modified with a 160mm gun, a larger turret, and less armour.

This weapon system is much like Purpelia's system, however, mine is smaller, more modular, and thus, more adept at being towed and mounted on trucks. The CMS also does not support direct fire, it is strictly a VLT system.

However, Purpelia is entirely correct, our systems completely replace the costly, large, and generally inaccurate gun artillery with missile rounds that can engage targets at range with pinpoint percision. Choice well made, Purpelia.

Well they are towed by our own motorised vehicles as well as the strongest horses in the realms even if I have planed to make a new self propelled artillery piece.

IMHO, if your railguns' performance messes up your internal consistency you may want to rethink them. Was it that you have unreasonably high muzzle velocities leading to enormous muzzle energies?

Also, will a 25Mt weapon fit in one of those submunitions, especially if you want to stick in a drive, a heat shield and maybe some sort of penetration aids?

[Amerikians]

Spacial Artillery: THOR Kinetic Strike System | ORION Missile Strike System
Ground Artillery: M-109 'Paladin' Howitzer, various Mortar systems in use by the US Army and Maritime Rangers
Aerial Artillery: 105mm Howitzer's utilized in gunships, 40mm cannons utilized in gunships.

For some dumb-ass reason neither the US Army or the Maritime Rangers employ static howitzers or mortars any longer; preferring mobility to stagnant defenses.

I pretty much set the standard for stupid-shit-born-from-STARWARS, bro. I've used them forever and am unlikely to relinquish them, and so long as my RP partners don't mind there's no problem.

[Malgrave]

The United Kingdom of Malgrave uses several artillery in it's armed forces for maximum effect.

The 'Archer' Self-Propelled Artillery. Main Artillery of the Malgravean Army. Picture taken during trials in the Northern Malgravean Mountain regions.

The 'Light Marine Artillery System' used by the Royal Malgravean Marines. Picture stolen from the US Marines

The 'Gallipoli' Heavy Rocket Artillery

The 'Defender' Self-Propelled Artillery used by Reserve Units and in fortifications across the country used to repel any amphibious landings.

[Herador]

Since Heradors army is a highly mobile force, we don't use towed guns, instead we use the M109

the Heradorian army also uses the M270 MLRS for longer range strikes

[-Costa Luna-]

The Royal Guard employs some old stagnant howitzers from the First World War, still.

[Crookfur]

The Royal Guard employs some old stagnant howitzers from the First World War, still.

Nothign wrong with that as long as they still reliably go bang when you pull the lanyard. After all its only a year or so since the irish retired thier 25 pounders.

Anyway.

The Crookfur Armed Forces make sue of a wie rnage of indiginous artillery ssytems.

At the lightest end we use a series of mortars ranging from 57mm up to 120mm calibre:
H5 light weight 57mm Mortar
H6 90mm medium mortar system
H7 120mm mortar system

In terms of light weight towable and light vehicle mounted systems we have various launchers for our 90mm Unified Rocketry System and our G120 Light weight gun

Moving up a notch we reach our main 160mm howitzer systems including the soon to leave service Bowman SPG, the currently under evaluation Peltast SPG and the lighter Scoundrel light SPG system. The link provides details of the export version fot eh scoudnrel witha 6" gun, the Crookfur doemstic version uses a 160mm gun of roughly similar perfromance.

Finall we come to our heavy rocketry ssytem. The Crookfur Army uses two vehciles that use versions of our modualr MA-25 rocket system: The Longshot that carries 4 MA-25 modules and the Bandit that carries two.

[Saurisisia]

We have several, note that we tend to name artillery after Sauropod species, thanks to their shape.

The M65 Brachiosaurus:



The M50 Titanosaur:

[Imeriata]

Meh I'm no artillery man and that was probably a stupid statement, it just seems that self propelled artillery would have easier time defending themselves in an ambush.

If your artillery gets ambushed so have you worse things to worry about, either that you entire army is in retreat or that you are stupid enough to deploy artillery unsupported so far ahead of your main army that there are people to ambush it there.

[Kalumba]

Kalumba only has one true artillery piece in use currently, the M1 Pack Howitzer. An easily transportable 75mm weapon.

Kalumba also has a battery of 25 Pounders, but these are only used for ceremonial duties. They are however capable of being deployed in combat.

Every platoon has an 81mm Mortar available to them.
