An operational HAA would be around 150m (500ft) long with a 140,000- 170,000 m3 (5-6 million ft3) envelope, carrying a 900kg (2,000lb) sensor payload and with the energy accumulation and storage capacity for at least six months endurance.- Flight Global

Perhaps if you don't mind reduced payload as the blimp goes higher.

The Macabees wrote:Re: armored trains. The truth of it is that it's mental gymnastics to decide whether armored trains are worthwhile outside of the context of the RP/war. Different insurgencies will have different degrees of capabilities, different objectives, et cetera. How you protect your supply routes, whether those are by rail, by truck, or however, will depend on the constraints of the RP. Armored trains may be absolutely worthless in one situation, and they may save you hundreds of billions of dollars in another. You may find that you have unarmored trains transporting heavy equipment to a front thousands of kilometers deep into enemy territory, and armoring your trains may be the sensible next step.
There will always be ways to counter. That's true with everything, so it doesn't make much sense to discard an idea because you can think of a way to beat it. Otherwise, there would never be any RPs, because every idea would have a counter. That's why there should be a lot more emphasis on combined arms. And we also have to remember that these isolated techs don't exist in a vacuum, so it doesn't make sense to speak as if they did ("but A can counter B, and C can counter B"). If we do that, we end up with something akin to the regression theorem, where you find out military tech can't exist at all because there's always something that can defeat that one piece of technology. But, that's not how wars work. Tech doesn't exist in a vacuum. And it's not stationary either. You will find that your tech will evolve the most when you're actually in a war RP, because that's when you have to adjust to your enemy's capabilities.

Not only has this been a focus of study for him, but he also practices this through his paramilitary group in Poland. When I say he knows what he's talking about, he knows what he's talking about. So I'm itching to read his guide. It should be out later this week or early next one.

That's a great question. I think Cuscy will try to cover as much ground as he can; I'm sure he'll accept help in getting an understanding of unique PMT settings that might call for different approaches. At the same time, if you're thinking of cyberpunk, I have a strong feeling he'll cover that. If his great insight so far is any guide, he'll talk about the Information Technology and cyberwarfare aspect of insurgencies and COIN.
