Last post, page 18. Already tried to TG the dude. I mean I RIPPED this dude. Since he obviously hadn't taken my previous posts and my factbook into account.

Shenanigans have been detected.

Thanks Arkana.

This one is quite recalcitrant... Direct IC intervention may be required... Possibly annihilation of his homeland...

*pushes up scary shiny glasses on nose*

But that would be too easy.

... you scare me. Can I into Air Superiority if Direct IC is activated?

Arkana could do more than superiority, supremacy more likely.

LUFTSHIPS.

Luftship
luft-ship
noun

A type of dirigible craft originating in the second world war, during which the newly formed nation of Shyluz employed them nearly exclusively in the defense of it's sovereignty, both from Nazi Germany and the splintering Soviet Union. Unlike many dirigibles, instead of the helium/hydrogen balloon design, a luftship uses boiled ammonia, which in it's gaseous form is lighter than air, inside internal cells placed along the 'keel' of the craft. This cells are kept at boiling heat, and many of the Foundation Era (1942-1967) luftships relied on boiler power, thus heavily limiting their range. Western Insurgency Era (1968-current) use nuclear reactors, the ammonia being boiled through use as a coolant before being redistributed to cells around the craft. Forward propulsion in modern luftships is generally achieved by using a large ramjet assembly powered direct from the reactor.

Ah, well.

Edit -- Just for the sake of making it known, I was never going to involve one of these in PW. It was theoretical approach with dealing with a godmodder. For some reason I think it'd be impractical to drag along what amounts to a naval force around with a spec ops unit.

We have got to contrive circumstances for one of these things to fight one of my MAAPS at some point to see what happens.

I know right! The epic airship v. airship battle of the century!

Unfortunately, it seems DeN cannot into appreciation of my research (I spent a seriously long time figuring out specs for them, all the way through each Era too, I've got diesel ones, I've got Cold War ones, I've got 2000s ones, and I've got 2010+ ones, and even pure FT ones that run purely theoretically!)

Man, those diesel ones must be a logistics challenge. The entire platform is grounded without fuel, if I understood the design correctly.

Anyways, do you have those specs posted somewhere? I didn't see them on your factbook. I'd like to check them out, if you don't mind.

Nah, I 'ave 'em on a notebook around here somewhere. I'll find it later. And yes, they are. Thats why their range was so limited-- they had to have fuel. So, back then, you would have huge luftship fields on the Western Frontier to defend from the Germans and Old Soviets. They would only take off when an enemy was in visible sight. Even then, you'd only have enough for combat maneuvers and landings. Back in those days, though, we were mostly on the defensive, so range wasn't a major concern.

I'm guessing due to their sheer size that refueling aircraft won't help.

Maybe they have refuelling luftships, after all compounded problems is what the military's for.

You have accepted a team with androids, can you present me the physics?

No, I can't at the moment, and as I said, I lost my notes. But, knowing that the boiling point of ammonia is actually quite high (−33.34 °C, −28.01 °F; 239.81 K)compared to other LtA gases, such as helium and hydrogen, the heat from a nuclear fission reactor (7.2 × 1013 joules per kilogram of uranium-235) is absolutely enough to boil ammonia, with sufficient routing and positioning, a dirigible is capable of using ammonia as a lifter. It's actually used today in weather balloons as a lifter. A ramjet is merely a type of engine that uses forward motion to produce thrust much more efficiently than a standard jet, and luftships use a hybrid system, which provide initial thrust through conventional electric jets before swapping to a ramjet system.

With enough lifting gas, anything is possible in the realms of dirigibles.

Especially since I'm openly an Early-PMT nation. I have only ever put things that can work in theory, and in practice, though haven't been done yet due to logistics or a lack of the need. I don't have man-portable railguns simply because they don't have a practical power source. On the other hand, conventional naval craft IRL are nuclear powered all the time. We use ammonia dirigibles IRL all the time. The only thing different about my design is the surprising lack of a visible system of lift. The other reasons pointing towards ammonia are numerous-- refrigerate it, and you have a means of refillable, closed-circuit ballast which could be reused forever. Which is very useful for submarines, and the same can be said for dirigibles. Truly, the picture is the one non-super realistic/plausible feature of the luftship, and unfortunately yes, the image is of a spacecraft. Oh well, the actual thing is grounded in real, hard, modern science.

In any case, app's coming along alright, just need to work on the Armory list and the Specialty Gear list(s).
