What's the scariest thing about the AN's military? Part V

[Latorik]

The extreme amount of magic permeating every piece of their equipment, a standard sight is probably comparable to highly advanced military magnification equipment in the hands of a powerful enough magic user

[Alternate Gallifrey]

Carapace Suit: Worn by officers and other veteran troops, this armor is incredibly protective, offering full body protection from most small arms fire, easily shrugging off repeated hits from 7.62 rounds

Veterans in Carapace Armor are virtually immune to modern infantry-grade equipment. Jesus.

I can just imagine these guys relentlessly march through hordes of infantry as their foes desperately try to bring them down to no avail.

BN, please don't simply say "time manipulation is scary". Please chose something more specific.

[The Caleshan Valkyrie]

Whatever fuckery they've done to make those 'Earthshock Bombs' capable of breaching the fabric of reality with a simple fission-fusion detonation has got my attention.

[Dunkirlothesia]

Their tech does not surprise us, but their efficient use of the disorganization of the military to play dirty.

[Latorik]

Their lack of an 'official' military per se is made up by their technological advantage and superiority, most notably a swarm missile tactical bomber

[Sherechia]

RF-9 Nuclear Hand Explosive: A simple steel metal cylinder containing a small core of weaponized albainite, this low-yield nuclear device is typically only used in a defensive role, as if thrown outside the safety of a bunker, it would vaporize the user as well. (Even then if the user is not utilizing power armor his odds of survival remain astronomically low). A guaranteed kill radius of two hundred meters, with a further four hundred meters of wounding radius. Expected fatal radiation dose estimated at a range of a three hundred meters in a span of ten minutes, assuming the use of low-level CBRN gear.

Nuke in a can.

[Qhevak]

The modern M80U has a pretty great gun, with 1,100 mm of RHA penetration from a 1.85 km/s APFSDS round. That's sufficient to front pen the turret of an M1A2 SEP V3, AND it has an autoloader good enough to fire them at 12 rpm.

[Libertalonia]

the rockhound seems pretty advanced
it's honestly one of the best weapons I've seen.



Please do something other than the mistanya

[Latorik]

Their rather large assortment of ICBMs capable of blowing up any nation that offends them several times over

[UNSPDC]

Honestly, their... rather surprising amount of starships. I wouldn't expect the Albanians to have starships, but times change.

[Fenvaria Republic]

If one ship girl was terrifying, I cant imagine a strike force. They have speed, agility, and firepower on their side, which allows them to deploy quickly and quite effectively. However, I'm not sure how their rigging works, but if they can shrink it down they could also be used as sabotage troops. Just walk around as a regular girl, then pull out their rigging and hit strategic points

[Comerciante]

"The Anubis Class Dreadnought is quite the beast. It features dual spinal cannons, several different main guns, and an ungodly amount of point defense systems and missiles for days mate, missiles for days."

-OOC

[The Saucer Pilots]

I'd say the Doom Cannon. The description of it's effects are icky, like the Psycho-Frakulator from that Ben Stiller superhero movie...and it can make people re-live their death in and endless loop so it's inhumane to boot.

[New Oceanum]

The Particle Deconstructer is very terrifying at the least, so yeah. A weapon that can destroy MATTER (or so it seems to me). Very scary. Need I say more?


BN, please do not use the VANGUARD STATION factbook. It is not quite ready yet.

[Latorik]

The rather large flotilla of nuclear subs capable of striking virtually undetected across the entirety of the planet.

The space fleet might overshadow it by quite a bit (on virtue of being, well, a space fleet), but the naval power New Oceanum is capable of projecting can't be overstated

[UNSPDC]

The fucking Mauler shotgun. It's not even a 'shotgun' anymore, it's a fucking cannon of sheer doom. And it's used as a mounted weapons system too? Great, now enemy infantry can die in droves thanks to the Mauler. Germany's gonna be pissed.

[Cybus1]

Hmmm. Ship girls? Living ships would presumably be able to act independently and with greater degrees of autonomy then most vessels.

[Acraus Federation]

The fact that their Warden class frigates not only outgun our battleship, but also out armors it as well. We'd hate to see the might of one of their battleships if the mismatch between our ships is this big.

[Fenvaria Republic]

I would say the use of handheld infantry lasers is quite scary as it would be able to penetrate the shielding and the protective gear of the Republic infantry. Which would cause several problems and lead to time and resources being shifted to protecting against this threat, time and resources that could have been used on other offensives or technologies.

[Latorik]

Moving away from their navy (which is a beast in of itself), we go to the Fenvarain ground troops, which prove a similarly daunting challenge.

Highly motivated, well-trained, fanatical. Even their most basic soldier has some pretty advanced body armor and equipment.

[Nacrad]

The fact that "not one step back" means that they are incredibly determined, as they would be willing to put in millions if needed in pursuit of this goal to bleed the enemy dry.

[Nacrad]

Bump

[New Oceanum]

Nacrad's policy of building enough nukes to ensure M.A.D (Mutually Assured Destruction) with its rivals (and possibly the PRC) is enough to scare almost any would-be attackers off.

[Qhevak]

Despite having the tech to build interstellar starships, their armored warfare doctrine appears to involve massive waves of cheap, technologically 1960s tanks, with nearly 1 tank for every 10 soldiers. That suggests an extreme disregard for the lives of said troops, and a huge surplus population to expend in massive human wave attacks to overwhelm enemy ordnance stockpiles.

[Latorik]

Judging by their 'And they were happy' factbook, some portion of ANs military units is capable of deploying some form of nano-virus capable of ending a war before it even starts, manipulating brain chemistry to make enemy soldiers just... give up trying to fight and go pursue their dreams.

Very scary stuff.
