Murder Party Takes Over Themiclesia [OoC]

[Vivern]

I am just...so...tired....

I'm getting pretty tired too. I'll just add one more post (hopefully better quality), and then go to bed. Anyway, I will look for ways to improve my writing.

[New Frenco Empire]

Oh, no no no. If anything, you beat me in overall quality. I'm actually trying to read through yours and take a few hints.

"...if you think..."

You = everybody.

Am I not included in the "everybody" demographic?

Can I just change my army size to 1 million?

[Themiclesia]

Can I just change my army size to 1 million?

Sure, but we should keep deployment to a reasonable level, which definition I will leave to you.

Uhhh, guys, just saying, if anyone was wondering.

Those radiation bombs are easily stopped with airtight vehicles, so they're not supposed to be OP

[The Soviet League]

Unless they are extremely well designed and expensive, these radiological bombs can take to the wind and actually settle n the ground far away. Might be good for you if it settles on occupied territory, but bad for you if not.

They're not releasing actual radioactive particles, they project gamma rays

Blurred Lines (Unrated Version) is my favorite music video. Period.

Anyway, I should get a post up soon.

Three quick problems with this:

(1) Gamma rays will pass through thin layers of most material, so they'll still affect pilots regardless of how airtight the plane is.
(2) By the same logic, they will radiate out in all directions and affect all soldiers and ground troops within visual range of the bomb.
(3) I'm not sure how you could create Gamma radiation separately from Alpha and Beta particles, but I believe that the gamma rays will produce radioactive particles themselves by energizing atoms in the air.

I could go on in more detail after finding a more detailed source about radiation and its effects, but in general "controlled-radiation bombs" will often get you a reputation as a n00b.

ok, I'll remake it into AA laser fire ok

[The Soviet League]

My Bloodmoons and Knights could see them coming and escape if it's just one large beam firing.

[Ardavia]

No, there are dozens of smaller beams coming from all over Southwood

Overall, I'd say laser AA is one of the more effective uses of PMT; there's no need to lead the target with a speed-of-light "projectile," and the enemy will have no time to detect, evade, or use countermeasures. The launchers might be easy to find and destroy, though.

In the 1980s, the Soviets made numerous attempts to design "laser tanks" that would blind enemy soldiers and equipment, or even destroy incoming ballistic missiles - the Red counterpart to the ill-fated "Star Wars" project in the USA. While several prototypes were built and tested successfully, the combination of massive costs and poor reliability led the designers to abandon the programs in favor of conventional Anti-Ballistic Missile Systems and SAMs.

[Releign]

Uh, we haven't entered the battle yet. None of us are shooting >.>

[The Soviet League]

Yet again you are flying towards us from the enemy's airspace. We shoot.

[Releign]

Yes, but we have not shot and your post said the 'Ones not shooting' when we haven't even fired a shot.

[The Soviet League]

They think they may be kamikaze fighters.

[Releign]

They think they may be kamikaze fighters.

That makes sense.
I mean, I would never purposefully blow up a newer model.
Hmmm....

[Oaledonia]

I'll have a good post later.

@The Soviet League: As I said earlier:

(2) Remember that your forces aren't all-knowing; they can't predict every attack that comes their way. Yes, there are times when you can react effectively, but the fighting shouldn't devolve into a bunch of units miraculously counteracting each other's attacks. Take losses every now and then, and let yourself be caught by surprise; hopefully your opponent will do the same.

At this distance, there's no reasonable way to tell if the enemy aircraft are suicide planes or not. It makes for a better RP if you let them get close then respond in shock as they ram, instead of miraculously guessing the entire enemy strategy from the very start.


@Releign: I do hope those suicide aircraft are going to be used in ground attack, not air-to-air combat. I believe a 200-kg bomb has a roughly 100-meter kill radius, while most modern air combat rarely involves distances under 200 meters. Against rapidly maneuvering, oncoming supersonic fighters it would take superhuman precision to get the plane close enough to ensure a kill. However, if the target is a slow-moving bomber or a warship with very little AA, the chances of a direct collision are very good.

They are not meant to do any real damage. They are just going to explode, hopefully confuse and scatter people, making it easier to pick people off.
