Of Ships and Girls and Shipgirls - a KanColle-RP (OOC)

[Rustyal]

Right, since Leg's come and asked me, feel free to have someone else in as adjutant since various factors piled up which meant I couldn't give this RP the attention I originally planned. I'll come back if things clear up though.

Thanks from me as well, LL. Take your time to sort everything out and when you are ready, feel free to drop by. I will keep your characters on the roster, though, listed as "On expedition", okay?

High Fructose Syrup, did Prophet just get kicked upstairs?

Selks, are onboard computers allowed (the kind needed for look-down radar), or are those considered too advanced?

Yes, he was kicked upstairs. I will change everything in a bit.
As for the onboard computers for look-down radars, well... There's the case of AN/ASG-18, a Pulse-Doppler Radar with look-down capability developed and cancelled for an aircraft, which entered development officially by the end of our timeframe, so I'm afrid, that this would be a bit of a no. And that's not mentioning, that the practical use of such systems required computers, which came around in the 70s.
Finally...

Description: Similar in appearance to the de Havilland Sea Venom/Aquilon, the JF-02SC(DJEF/JB) Ausf. B Corrupted Maschinenteufel-II is the next generation of the Maschinenteufel platform, based on feedback from pilots and results from war games and trials held in 1950. Unlike the Sea Venom, the Maschinenteufel-II features a gullwing design, a favorite among Jebslunden pilots and designers as an aesthetic.

The Corrupted Maschinenteufel-II's paint is a demonic black, with an almost oily appearance. Its intakes have been replaced by demonic eyes, a demonic, sharp-toothed mouth has appeared on the nose, and two sickly green imps sit in the cockpit. The entire aircraft radiates a midnight blue demonic aura.

Description:
A wild improvement on previous incarnations, the G variant of the Fliegendewaffel features vastly improved top speed and climb rate, improvements in stealth technology, and radar, based on data from 1950 war games and combat actions. The aircraft's armor has been slightly improved, and additional spars have been added to improve airframe impact resistance, though the main improvements have been to engine power, stealth, and armament.

The Corrupted Fliegendewaffel Ausf. G, as did its predecessor, is similar in appearance to the Vought XF5U Flying Flapjack. The paint, rather than an ocean blue, is black with an almost oily appearance, its intakes have been replaced with demonic eyes, and two sickly green imps sit in the cockpit. The entire aircraft radiates a midnight blue demonic aura.

Description:
The Geisterfledermaus (Ghost Bat) is a jet-powered flying wing aircraft, similar in appearance to the Horton Ho-229, which serves as a dedicated night strike bomber and test platform for Kermanic stealth aircraft technology and techniques. Names for the high-pitched screech of its engines and flying wing shape, the night fighter serves as a surprise attacker, its screeching engines often being the first sign of attack.

The Corrupted Geisterfledermaus, unlike other corrupted Kermanic aircraft, retains its original paint: Dark shades of gray in a camouflage pattern which makes it much harder to see in the dark, chosen by the Kermanic Air Ministry after multiple trials to see what paint job would be most effective for a night fighter. Its cockpit is gone, replaced by a solid dome in the same shape, and a sharp-fanged mouth has grown out of its nose. The entire aircraft radiates a black demonic aura which further hides it when in the dark.

Changes to Hornissennest as a result of the refit:
All armor has been made 50% thicker, with commensurate changes to weight, length, and beam.
All 8 Zollstocks have been replaced with super-high-velocity variants.
Iron ball paint has been applied to her, as well as a degaussing coil
All turbines and boilers have been replaced with more powerful versions, resulting in a net loss of speed of .5 knots.

New Aircraft Complement:
40x PHF-12SC(DHF) Ausf. G Corrupted Fliegendewaffel
40x JF-02SC(DJEF/JB) Ausf. B Corrupted Maschinenteufel-II
10x JNHF-02SC(DNB) Ausf. A Corrupted Geisterfledermaus

Let me know if there's any problems.

Please keep in mind, that the stealth measures might not be as effective as it sounds like, especially on Hornissennest, but other then that, I don't see any glaring issues. Rustyal, what about you?
(Pending so far.)

Stealth systems begun in 1958. We don't even have guided missiles yet.
I don't think I'm okay with that.

Actually, all the stealth systems I mentioned were invented and in use prior to 1950 to some degree or another (first thing I checked).

Jaumann absorbers were introduced in 1943, and the graphite I mentioned was planned for the Ho-229, which was first flown in 1944, all of which is in the link I posted in this comment. Also Wikipedia. As for iron ball paint, there was something I was reading up on that linked me to that as what they were using an early predecessor for it. I'll try to find it, but, if I can't before my first break tomorrow, I'll remove that. I also remember reading about something like ti being used on one of the ship classes I looked up for my ships.

EDIT: German U-boats also used radar-absorption materials on the coatings of their periscopes.

[Novaya Equestria]

Jebslund and Selks, due to the amount of flak Novaya's receiving, I've decided that Novaya will not be abducted, but instead defecting to the Abyssals. Maybe his experiences will provide the Abyssals more knowledge or something? Maybe his hatred towards working with his non nationalistic kanmusu comrades, particularly Coriolanus, will be the reason why he defected? Who knows?

I'm such a heartless scumbag. Making Novaya defect to the Palefreaks (and the green skinned Abyssals, called Kerbals) seriously makes the incoming subplot a literal freaking Korean drama, with all the absurdly amount of crying, anger, reunion, hatred, separation, betrayal, and reconciliation in the end.

Again, sorry for the racist remark towards Abyssals. Didn't even meant to hurt your feelings, y'two.

Alright... so, you plan on Novaya deserting in order to join the Abyssal Side, right? That means, that he would be deserting, which would, in any military in this world, result in a court martial before capture and then being shot - if not being shot outright.
That doesn't even take into account, what the Abyssals would do to him before Hornissennest even gets close to him.
So no reconciliation, I'm afraid, just hate, betrayal and butchering. He'll just be shot as a deserter - and he should think about his countrymen, too. After all, that would make them rather suspicious as well.

Besides, I believe, that most of the kanmusu are nationalistic - they just don't care about Novaya (the country, not the carrier).

And Jebs, I prefer the Thrawn from Zahn's novels. ; )

Agreeing with Selkie here, from an OOC and IC perspective. There is no way Coriolanus would allow him a chance to defect, what with the defeat we just had. The bases' defenses wouldn't let him get too far, anyway, as he's under watch, despite the battering.

So after the previous day, would it be a good idea to have the ships from my nation take over air defense for the time being, considering how almost all of them in the timeline where WW2 occurred, or almost all of them, were part of the Siege of Tokyo i.e giving them more experience in air raid preparation and air defense.

Change log: Wasn't finding anything promising RE: the iron ball paint, so I ditched that. Also removed the Jaumann absorbers from the Fliegendewaffel, since it's a day fighter and basically a flying tank as it is, so it being stealthy too was a little much.

EDIT: missed one...

That particular Thrawn is on my to-read list, but the quote I linked to is one of my favorite from the Rebels series.

This. Especially since his comrades were kind enough to give Coriolanus a heads-up. Also, Novaya's reasons for defecting... Don't really hold up... and Militaries in general aren't know to coddle subordinates, especially after they make mistakes the likes of Novaya's.

While the quote is good, no question about that, I have the feeling, that Rebels' Thrawn was not the Thrawn of Zahn and not as much of a dangerous villain as him/he could be. It's a personal thing, most likely, but I prefer Zahn's. He would've chewed out the Vong before breakfast was over (but only with access to their art, of course ; )).
Onto the more thread-related matter, indeed. The base does have defenses, too, not only the air complement, but also guns and Novaya wouldn't most likely get far before the base reacts (Caty's guns would still be appreciated, if they were still up for installing there, though), so there would be something able to stop him, either to the point of taking out his engines or taking him out.
Speaking from a perspective of right and law, his justification for his acts would be... what? That he was upset about being chewed out? He did make mistakes, after all, and not correcting them will end very, very bad. As for replacing... well, Novaya, please keep this Atlas-guy in the back of your head.

So after the previous day, would it be a good idea to have the ships from my nation take over air defense for the time being, considering how almost all of them in the timeline where WW2 occurred, or almost all of them, were part of the Siege of Tokyo i.e giving them more experience in air raid preparation and air defense.

Sounds like much to do for Coriolanus in these first hours after the battle, as well as for her new Adjutant. The Leader of the Cruisers might be of help as well as additional 7,000 tons paperweight?
Either way, it sounds like a plan. With that many new arrivals, Coriolanus might need to think about a new patrol schedule?

Description:
A wild improvement on previous incarnations, the G variant of the Fliegendewaffel features vastly improved top speed and climb rate, improvements in stealth technology, and radar, based on data from 1950 war games and combat actions. The aircraft's armor has been slightly improved, and additional spars have been added to improve airframe impact resistance, though the main improvements have been to engine power, stealth, and armament.

The Corrupted Fliegendewaffel Ausf. G, as did its predecessor, is similar in appearance to the Vought XF5U Flying Flapjack. The paint, rather than an ocean blue, is black with an almost oily appearance, its intakes have been replaced with demonic eyes, and two sickly green imps sit in the cockpit. The entire aircraft radiates a midnight blue demonic aura.

Description:
The Geisterfledermaus (Ghost Bat) is a jet-powered flying wing aircraft, similar in appearance to the Horton Ho-229, which serves as a dedicated night strike bomber and test platform for Kermanic stealth aircraft technology and techniques. Names for the high-pitched screech of its engines and flying wing shape, the night fighter serves as a surprise attacker, its screeching engines often being the first sign of attack.

The Corrupted Geisterfledermaus, unlike other corrupted Kermanic aircraft, retains its original paint: Dark shades of gray in a camouflage pattern which makes it much harder to see in the dark, chosen by the Kermanic Air Ministry after multiple trials to see what paint job would be most effective for a night fighter. Its cockpit is gone, replaced by a solid dome in the same shape, and a sharp-fanged mouth has grown out of its nose. The entire aircraft radiates a black demonic aura which further hides it when in the dark.

Changes to Hornissennest as a result of the refit:
All armor has been made 50% thicker, with commensurate changes to weight, length, and beam.
All 8 Zollstocks have been replaced with super-high-velocity variants.
Iron ball paint has been applied to her, as well as a degaussing coil
All turbines and boilers have been replaced with more powerful versions, resulting in a net loss of speed of .5 knots.

New Aircraft Complement:
40x PHF-12SC(DHF) Ausf. G Corrupted Fliegendewaffel
40x JF-02SC(DJEF/JB) Ausf. B Corrupted Maschinenteufel-II
10x JNHF-02SC(DNB) Ausf. A Corrupted Geisterfledermaus

Change log: Wasn't finding anything promising RE: the iron ball paint, so I ditched that. Also removed the Jaumann absorbers from the Fliegendewaffel, since it's a day fighter and basically a flying tank as it is, so it being stealthy too was a little much.

Sounds good so far, still pending, but good. Hornissennest herself is absolutely fine, the issues I see are with her aircraft, their stealth-technology and the size of the Fledermaus. Give me a bit to research a few things.

EDIT: Spoiler and me...

I'd much rather have more planes and a more competent defenive commander at base to act in Cori's stead than take the mobility away from one of our most powerful weapons. If Selkie's not in favor of a replacement, then Novaya's out of luck.
The motivations are weak, but Novaya isn't exactly known for being in full check of his emotions nor his thoughts. Defecting wouldn't even be good if he got past without a hitch, they're likely going to get a ton of information out of him painfully before they sink him or welcome him or whatever. More likely hold him, like we are for Re (who I kinda feel bad for because we're just holding her without much to do.)

Regardless, I think this is either going to end with a coming to Jesus moment for our aircraft carrier, either figuratively, or actually going to Jesus. Let's hope it's the former.

We could use a definitive base commander for the times, when the fleet is out and for the times the fleet is in (administration is a matter, which is to be taken care of, too). One of the support vessels would be a good choice, as they usually stay away from the fighting as well.
Regardless, the base got a lot of planes left, plus we still have to pack up Chill's remains/drops and haul them home.
I would also like to note, that I am not against a replacement of Novaya, but if NE wants to get through with this, then Atlas would count as an additional character - as he already has six characters and the maximum is six characters... well. Just keep him at the back of your head, NE.

Right. As in my latest post, we'll get Novaya secured before anything like that happens.

[New Antonalia]

Okay, what all has happened since the battle ended?

[The Selkie]

Okay, what all has happened since the battle ended?

Well, a few things. We made a little skip, so now we had our debriefing.
After getting chewed out, Novaya doesn't look too happy, plans on desertion, which is reported by his comrades. Prophet is praised and chewed out and promoted to Fleet Adjutant. Gibson voices discontent to his fellow Kraician cruiser, but only to him (overheard by Prophet, but he chooses to ignore it). Our supplies are basically gone up in flames, which is why dinner was rather meager. Rhiannon is still not too well, Amy is tending to those docked (if you want, she can also be tending to Sergei, but only medically, he does have a girlfriend, after all, CDS' Salvation would be another option), Suoji's chaps are bored out of their minds, Stilly is docked next to Whona and Caty needs to get there, too.
More and more people are flocking to Coriolanus' door, amongst them Natsukaze and now Rhiannon.
The Abyssals are reorganizing themselves.
Fyodor was promoted to Leader of the Carriers and Dia is crying her eyes out.

Did I miss anything important?

So I was thinking of Legate's fighter squadron getting re-fitted with F4U Corsairs. Most because I personally really like the Corsair. Might updowngrade her bomber squadrons to the TBF Avenger because the Swordfish is super vulnerable against most opponents too powerful against all opponents it could ever face, and it just would't be sporting to keep such an overpowered aircraft.

Sounds like a plan. I really appreciate you trying to get a new sense of fairness into this, because I was thinking about commenting about Swordfishs and Gladiators being absolutely over-powered. ; )
No, fun aside, it sounds like a plan. If you want, you can also go for Seafires and other aircraft, there's a whole list, which includes two interesting entries, namely Sea Mosquito and Sea Hornet...

Where's Neko-Destroyer?

[Novaya Equestria]

Hey, Selks, how do Germans pretend that there's static on the radio (when, for example, ignoring a superior's orders by pretending there's interference on the line)?

Rubbing the microphone, making loud rustling noises, or simply pretending that you have bad or no reception, like in the opening scene of The Last Jedi. Not exactly onomatopoeia, I know, but they work nonetheless, in any language.

Rip Searc, enter Palefreak Searc.

Sorry for the racist remark.

Yeah... I liked her. It will hit Rhiannon quite harshly and the other SDF-Navy vessels as well.
As for racism about the Abyssals - if you feel bad, stand in the corner. ; )

What do you mean by "stand in the corner?"

And what do you mean by "just keep him at the back of my head?"

Irrelevant, but someone - likely Coriolanus - needs to listen to Novaya about why he's totally negative towards everyone (for the time being, it's Coriolanus but also everyone) and convince him not to make the same mistakes, and maybe cheer him up a little.

No, she doesn't. She's a flagship of a group of warships, she isn't here for moral support. Coriolanus has no reason to chastise anyone for having a negative attitude towards her, most especially at the moment when she expects her reputation to be rather low with a costly battle and a list of scoldings to give out. Nor does she have reason to coax Novaya to not make mistakes- she again has no reason to regardless of the past defeat or not. It's more of a "make corrections or it won't be as lenient as last time" sort of deal, and doing labor isn't that bad because she's likely going to ask others to help who weren't punished.

A considerable bit of resources and attention was put into Novaya just yesterday when he attempted suicide and the whole deal of a movie night was organized. I don't think Coriolanus would in any way feel obligated to cheer Novaya up, particularly because there are other people who deserve her support and attention- to name, the SDFS vessels who lost a ship.
