NS Military Realism Consultancy Thread Mark IX Spitfire

[The Kievan People]

Moving an entire Stryker Brigade, including a three day supply package, would require over 700 C-130 sorties at max load (which is unrealistic).

For sealift you'd need 2-3 ships comparable to the Bob Hope class. Taking into account loading, transit and unloading trip time would be about a week. Though this assumes there are ports capable of handling this class of ship.

Another stupid question.

I have around 20 Ticonderoga Cruisers in my whole fleet, are they useful or should I sell them to build more Destroyers?

I have lots of C-5's and C-17's too.

I'm no expert... But the US navy is. I would assume you should place a cruiser to escort a carrier.

Might be late to the party, but I still plan on being the life of it

moar shitposting

At least it wasn't a TAG!

Are rocket assisted mortar shells for mortars in the 82-120mm range feasible and would they actually be useful?

Ticonderogas have better air defense and command capabilities than Arleigh Burkes.

120mm nuclear mortar shell anyone :3 ?

[The Greater Aryan Race]

How do you guys make your ORBAT's and chart structures for your military organization?

I'm pretty certain there's some MS software for making charts of that sort. Otherwise, if you're an IT-dinosaur such as myself then you can just tinker around with the BB code here and create an ORBAT with bullet points and etc.

120mm nuclear mortar shell anyone :3 ?

it could work

mortar is a bit small tho

mb 120mm tank shell?

[Padnak]

300mm rocket gun armed nuclear assault gun is what you're looking for

atomic sturmtiger

[Lamoni]

120mm nuclear mortar shell anyone :3 ?

The smallest nuclear weapon i've heard of is a 155 mm artillery shell. Ymmv.

mb 120mm tank shell?

1 for each company commanders tank

the reds will glow green before they step foot in Frankfurt am Main

this is too few

three or four per platoon

Ist brilliant bruder. Zie anschluss intensifies

Would it be possible to mount a recoilless rifle on a plane, to make it like the Hs. 129 or B-25 which both had 75mm guns? Make it recoilless and direct the gasses down?

or like the greatest ground attack aircraft ever used in combat

Well yes, but remember that the need to mount AT guns on planes sort of died as bomb-aiming techniques, rocket loads and eventually guided missiles came in.

It would be more effective to mount such a gun Spooky-style?

[Western Pacific Territories]

Trains. This gonna be gud. Anyways, I am a temperate, heavily forested island nation if you didn't know. I have a heavy reliance on railways, and use trains to transfer ammunition, and in the threat of a invasion, troops. I have about 4,000,000km squared in land size, so trains, how effective?

Define "effective". The gun would be manned and have a greater stowage, though engagement options would be limited. You wouldn't be able to pop over low cover and send a few rounds into something (if you had the time) or spurt rockets, instead you have to fly high and slow.

Without an enemy with effective air support/defense, the AC-130 has a very long staying time and can provide close air support for hours - an A-10 or F-35 could only engage ten or twelve targets, or as many as it has missiles/rockets, but the AC-130 has hundreds of rounds. Would a forward-facing gun on a large attack plane have the same advantages?

[Connori Pilgrims]

What is the lowest level one could allocate TBMs & GLCMs with range of 600+ km to army formations?

Divisional level (within independent fire brigades) is probably too much no, but there's no artillery divisions in my armies for corps level and above... unless the indie fire brigade with such weapons gets sent upward to those levels...

[Western Pacific Territories]

'Ello.

Would these gins work in any way, shape, or form. If you're a expert or think you are tell me which conditions each one would work best in.

Did you lose the STC for bombs?

[Tule]

120mm nuclear mortar shell anyone :3 ?

127 mm is the smallest diameter nuke ever successfully tested.

Smaller might be achievable theoretically, but if you want to go with something tried and tested then that's the caliber to go with.

Not much effective, as sappers could sabotage the railways and possibly grind your supply lines to a halt.
