Vapor: A Steampunk RP Region (OOC v. 2.0 -- CLOSED)

[Sri Tschow]

@Cygnar The style of fighting used by my ground forces involves fast-moving, unpredictable and unorthodox maneuvers backed up by slow-moving support artillery and tanks. Warjacks are too large to move around as fast as regular troops, and they're too small to go with the support lines.

They are faster than tanks at least. And too small?

[The Holy Dominion of Inesea]

Yeah, I would like to have a reserve(50 warjacks) for the Capital, bu they really do not go into our Army Doctrine. And our IFVs and APCs are faster than the Warjacks

Well I never said Warjacks replaced APCs or IFVs. They are made to replace tanks

We do not really use tanks. They are simply mobile artillery. While, we do have tanks, but they are not very common compared to Gun Carriers of IFVs.

Congrats!

[The Holy Dominion of Inesea]

Yeah, Cygnar, our strategy is to kill off infantry and LVs with APCs and IFVs, then draw enemies into fire zones for massed arty

Warjacks aren't a bad idea, but there are issues in my doctrine like the others. For one thing, it's difficult to create this sort of armor that fits a person and can make them slightly more mobile, be relatively well armed, and armored as much as a tank. Also, it's expensive to have a bunch of Warjacks charge across a field rather than send many soldiers armed probably just as well as a couple warjacks and support them with obsolete tanks that still have the guns to pack the punch and are cheap to build.

In Magor, Warjacks are no problem and I won't object, but in Vapor, that's a different story.

Kirashima over a Warjack any day.

[Sri Tschow]

Since everyone seems to be doing this:

Sri Tschowan-Businesses

• Chong-Sun Enterprises (High-performance engines)
• Zechou Arms National (Military-grade arms supplier)
• Yokohama Fleet Systems (Airship technology)
• LaoRail (Rail transport solutions)
• Thawaii Shiprights Incorperated (Naval technology)
• Chee Exports (Rice and fish exporter)

[Cygnar]

7Kirashima over a Warjack any day.

Sure

An Gargarian IFV Mark VI has 4x20mm autocannons and 1x35mm cannon It has 5cm of armor. What does a light warjack have?

[The Keystone Federation]

Does anyone have a prediction on when this Rp may be open? I have another nation that would fit perfectly for a Steampunk RP..

First, the warjack doesnt fit the person, the person fits the warjack, and second the warjack is made to fit to almost everyone, minor adjustments can be made inside the armor.

Also, it's expensive to have a bunch of Warjacks charge across a field rather than send many soldiers armed probably just as well as a couple warjacks and support them with obsolete tanks that still have the guns to pack the punch and are cheap to build.

Who said I would charge with Warjacks only? First infantry, then while the enemy is distracted fighting them, send the close quarters warjacks in to finish off the enemy.

This cannon? And I've never gotten into specifications regarding the armor and weapons of my warjacks.

Is it Auto? What mm?

I meant why they don't work for my doctrine. Whatever you do with them is all on you.

Warjack fits everyone huh? Some confidence there...ah but I can't complain. Whatever, like I said, all on you.

[The Holy Dominion of Inesea]

So a 4ft dwarf and Shaq can fit into Warjacks?

[Cygnar]

And guys, the whole point of this being steampunk is that we use steampunk-ish stuff. If we all use ww1 tanks, planes and vehicles, it wouldnt be steampunk, it would be PT. Right?

Oh aye. Use it. Other might not however, and are giving there reasons not too. This RP is really Quasi-Steampunk BTW. And just make specs for the Warjack up.

Probably when we have a colonial RP. We keep saying we'll have one, but we never get around to it. The last one we tried didn't go so well. It turned into a wankfest, if that's the right term.

Also, the guns some of the warjacks carry can be easily exchanged.

exchanged or interchanged? And what is the generic mm of the guns?

Errr...that's why I felt kind of Iffy doing this in the first place. Magor is more what you should be RPing in since regular vapor...has some odd restrictions despite being "steampunk". No radio until 1900s as Fan said, yet Vitz has his 'robotic soldiers' similar to your Warjacks in the V-land crisis (which is 1890s). Plus, we're already going onto diesel in the 1900s so where is the steam now? I may participate in Magor so I can do my Cypheri and super-steam tech thing but I'm too lazy to do anything now.
