Halfblakistani Intervention Sign Up (MT OOC CLOSED)

Hey Vaander, how many missiles are you firing at my fleet? Also, just to clarify, the troop transports are intermixed with the battle group. The way I read your post made it seem like you thought they were in two separate groups. Again, that was just to clarify.

Also, general question: what level of realism are we going for? Thanks

As realistic as possible.

I'm firing at the Selkie fleet, I'm not firing at your fleet. My fleet is near Marley, which is some distance away from McHenry island, which I assume you are attacking?

Same goes for me, actually: How many missiles, which type, which aircraft firing them?
And my freighters are intermixed with the whole group as well.

Okay, the ships are launching a total of 40 Tomahawk missiles initially. All of the fighter/bomber aircraft are launching AGM-123 Skipper missiles, launching a total of 15 aimed at the freighters initially, and then launching 15 more at other targets if the freighters are all disabled. 10 Harpoon missiles will be launched from Marley, and another 20 launched from the Vaanderian fleet.

That clears that. Thanks.

EDIT: You do realize, that to launch the AGM 123 Skipper II, you need to be in a range of less then 25 kilometres of my ships, right? Should we assume, that your planes are in close enough range for my ship-mounted AA-guns to attack them?

woops, sorry, guess I'm just a bit trigger happy

my mistake!

Yeah, that's where I'm attacking

As realistic as possible without.

So on the below scale, would it be the "realism" step or the "Hard MT" step? Also, this scale is not mine. Someone posted it on the "Screw Realism" thread. I do not take any credit for the creation of it.

Hard MT, I guess? Not familiar with that scale. Could you explain it more?

Ok, Hard MT would be you nitpick literally EVERYTHING about the RP, and yell at anyone who does something that is even slightly unrealistic. Some examples would be Atlas's RPs. Also the SACTO guys are Hard MT (though I would call them "hardcore MT"

). You know the Military Realism Thread? They are all Hard MT guys. If you can't do it on Oct. 1, 2015, then it cannot be RP'd.

Realism is you take a more lax stance than what I described above.

Also, are you going to reply to the attack on the AA battery and military installation on McHenry island, or are we just going to go with that they were destroyed?

by **Halfblakistan** » Thu Oct 01, 2015 3:21 pm

Thanks for a clarification. I haven't been grilling anyone too hard, so I guess this is realism.

And I'll write up a post about the defense of the island.

I haven't quit the RP. Just writing a draft and editing it so that it's good quality.

I am still alive and willing as well - my response just needs a bit of research...

Hey guys, sorry for taking so long in my reply. It'll be up by Sunday night.

@Esalonia how many aircraft are you throwing at me, and how many bases on Halfblakistan do you have? Thanks

by **Halfblakistan** » Wed Oct 07, 2015 10:10 pm

Alright everyone, I just want to thank you for all of your high-quality posts. I'm impressed and am really enjoying reading them.

The issue is that Spironia and Luimneach haven't been posting frequently -or at all- and I'm thinking about replacing them with people who will be more active and enthusiastic. I'll only do this if they don't post within the next 48 hours. How do we feel about that?

sounds good. The thread needs more of the other side to make it interesting.

So how about I add one on each side? I'll make sure they're committed, which is what I should've done from the beginning...

Would an additional 25 aircraft at Ft Rochambeau, 1 Frigate, 1 Destroyer, 2 Cruisers, and 4 Corvettes to Ft Rochambeau be alright?

What sort of guns are you using?
They would close in for just long enough to fire the missiles and pull back.

What happened to the underlined premise of the OP...?

Anyway, to answer your question: First of, The AGM-123 Skipper II is a "Rocket assisted, low-level, laser-guided bomb", not a missile. It has a range of 25 km, at least according to Wikipedia. And unless you use another kind of AGM-123 Skipper, which would be unsportsmanlike since you didn't give any specifications when asked.
That means, that your aircraft are within 25km range of the centre of a highly secured convoy. A large convoy.

As for your question, about which guns and other weapons I am using on your paper planes:

The rest of the guns and missiles aboard my ships didn't fire/weren't fired on the aircraft or the missiles. Would it be prudent to assume, that you use the F/A-18 in some variation?

*fiddles with calculator*

That's 25. 10 from an aircraft carrier, 15 from a nearby airbase.

I have two airbases and two army bases as well as 40 vessels on station-20 near Cuanivale, 20 near Kindred. That's Secret IC, ok?

That'd be fine.

Also, feel free to deploy more troops, so long as you ask me first. So long as the troop numbers are roughly even, it should be fine.

Then, I believe, I should make you aware, that I am not able to fling around the masses of troops you guys throw in/up. That starts with aircraft carriers.

EDIT: Halfblakistan, is the new map ready?
