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

[Higher Japan]

The file is 4x larger than Nationstates allows.

New pixel Catherine!
Woo.

I like it.

Short question, though, Higher Japan: Where are the twins, currently?

The restaurants or what remains

Congratulation to Higher Japan, whose post has created for 100th page of this OOC!

...thank you for the information. It might happen, that I have something to do for them in the near future, depending on whether or not they can also load freight - Miuil's plan can do with more cargo capacity.

Perhaps I can be of assistance?

Hey, guys. I had an event coming up, although I'm not sure if you guys will ever agree with it.

You'll have another role to play in that plan - a more active one. Same with Josura.
But first, Miuil needs to present her plan to first Nevlamas to get a "is possible" or a "is not possible" or a "are you fucking nuts, you self-moving target?!", then to Coriolanus and then to the ones chosen for the operation - the submarines and the supply vessels.

I'm with Legatia on that one. Would you please elaborate?

Hey, Selks, what's your opinion on a B-52-based land-based aircraft (introduced in 1955, first flown in '52) modified to carry either a single medium or two light tanks? I did the numbers, and the max takeoff weight would allow up to 40-50 tonnes to be carried, assuming empty weight is empty of armament, rather than empty of fuel as well as armament. I was thinking of air-lifting a welcoming committee to Chill's former post. A paratrooper version, too, to drop some Imp-erial commandos for a little 'tinkering'.

That entire area is mined, navally and on the ground. It’d be incredibly dangerous to drop anything there.

Well, it involves a combined fleet protecting a convoy that needs to reach the gateway. The Abyssals are hunting the convoy, so surfare combatant warships and capital ships - including 1 battleship and 2 carriers - are to be used. Inspired by the Halloween event of World of Warships.

Hornissennest will be more than happy to provide air escort to that convoy and those carriers. To the bottom of the ocean, that is. Free of charge. The battleship, too, depending on which one.

The 77.1 tons empty weight of a B-52D (built from '56 to '57) are without fuel, armament and everything else that's not from the factory, so I am not exactly in support of that measure. Besides, here is one and another fellow, who might give you an inspiration as well.
As for the idea in general, I am not sure, if I should greenlight it. We did, after all, say, that we wouldn't RP ground combat.

[shnip]

Okay. As far as RP goes, it'd be something to factor into base defenses during the airstrikes/how much loot can be obtained from the island, rather than a ground combat RP (for example, having defenders tied up by repelling the ground invasion and therefore less able to provide AD (with the RP'd effect possibly being fewer fairies available to man AA), commandos sabotaging AA emplacements during the night which would leave them unable to be used to repel a daytime strike, AD having been shot out by tanks, etc.). There'd be no need to RP the actual ground combat, only the effects thereof. Though that does bring to mind something I've been meaning to ask: Why no ground combat? Just something I've been curious about.

This is an RP primarily about shipgirls, which is why it’s preferred to not RP ground forces. To my understanding at leadt.

Legatia has the right idea: This is an RP about shippersons and their battles against each other, not ground forces/fairies.
I like the commando raid idea, though. Something definately worth looking into further.

[Austria-Bohemia-Hungary]

So while I'm posting a thought occurred to me... how much hilarious shit would Natsukaze be in if she fainted in the office? <.<
Edit: I feel like I could do better but that'll have to do for now. :3

[Sterkistan]

I am still here. Just haven't really posted much.

Okay, though that does make me wanna make a spinoff of ground combat, but yeah. As to the commandos, their primary mission would be sabotaging AAA, with a secondary goal of sabotaging aircraft and gathering intel, if feasible (the results being fewer aircraft to defend it and better knowledge of tactics and the base layout going forward).

Well, we had, a long time ago, the idea to have an espionage plot in the Fairily Fairy Shenanigans, but that never really took off. Maybe we could combine those two/three things and go with that?

Possibly. Sounds like an interesting idea, at the very least.

EDIT: Should I start the thing? Also, you want I should app the craft involved (and any other variants) and base them out of Northern?

Also also, Selkie permitting, feel free to have a couple land-based Fleigendewaffel A's survive Chill's destruction as regular planes. They'd be statted the same as the XF-5U (because I didn't specify otherwise) except that they'd be able to carry up to 1200kg of bombs (with the max weight adjusted accordingly). For the land-based variant, the 'S' after the numbers would be dropped, and, for a normal (as opposed to Abyssal) one, the 'C' after the 'S' is dropped.

We might want to ask, how Abyssal Spies amongst the fairies managed to enter our base. I would be for some of the crews of the Abyssals sunken or planes shot down being picked up by over-eager rescuers (doesn't matter whom) and slipping away.
To differ them from the Kanmusu fairies, I would also propose to call them Orks.

The offer for waffles is tempting, but I have to decline. Thank you. ; )

I might have just the ship for rescuer! But that depends on if seaplane tenders classified as carriers or support ships.

That'd work for the spies, but I was planning on having the commandos air-dropped in the night before the first wave of airstrikes (the plan being to keep a day-and-night bombardment up for as long as the carriers have munitions, fuel, and planes to support, with the idea being for the carrier group to bug out if they even *think* they've been spotted. We don't want anyone to feel left out of the gift-giving, after all, so, naturally, we should deliver plenty.) to get as much of the air defenses as possible knocked out to make things easier for the fighters.

Gotta admit though, I like the idea of a bit of cloak and dagger. As to what to call them, I've been referring to them as imps, but, if they need a different name than that, my proposal would be Unseelie (which is what dark or "evil" fairies were called in Scottish and English lore.) Perhaps a poll is in order?

That's a big one, but I would be tending to call seaplane tenders support ships.

Hm... maybe a couple of spies, who gather intel, sabotage the coastal artillery and make off on a torpedo boat to deliver their intel to Hornissennest and who then uses that information to plan her strike?
Please keep in mind, that the base has radar (even if it was absent during Day 3, we have to think about an excuse for that), so a few planes para-dropping anything would be seen and planes sent after them and their droppings.

So, which options would be available? Imps, Orks, Unseelie, Abyssal-Fairies?
Anyone with more ideas?
