@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation He doesn't do war intelligently.
Let's say you are the E-100 platoon, with the 120mm evaporator aimed down an alley. Of course, you can't hide an E-100 very well, so we know that you're coming down.
Now me and PINK are in a platoon with me in the M26 Pershing and PINK in the IS-3.
He insists on trading shots with his IS-3. And of course get evaporated and starts calling German bias.
Which leaves me in a 1v3 against three mostly full-HP E-100s. And I know that 180mm of pen isn't going to do me shit against an E-100, so I dab the 2 key for the necessary skill I will need to penetrate your armor.
So I then chip the HP of your E-100s off as I lead them into a blind chase across the map until it's a 1v1. But I'm out of skill ammo, and you're getting ganked hard, and the game ends in a draw.
Neither of us could afford to fight again because I can't afford to fire that much skill all the time, and you can't afford constant E-100 ammo and repair bills.
@AFS23 Yes, your rifle's ergonomics aren't the best.
But that's okay. A good way to make guns with good ergonomics and therefore something someone will shoulder and fire is to base things off actual firearms.
You can. We won't necessarily adopt your equipment due to our desire for standardization, but if whatever you make is worth the price of refitting all of our units with it, then we will certainly adopt it.
After all, the Romans became great because they were so adaptable.
Whenever an opponent presented a superior weapon or tactic, the Romans would discard their inferior weapons or tactics in favor of the superior weapons and tactics. @TemDesBur
Can we borrow five for performance tests against 105mm Coil-Howitzer M305?
For comparison, the M305 was more or less designed to fire from fixed positions and were in fact cut-down 105mm Coilgun M4 tank guns from the Avenger series when they got their 90mm Railgun M3s back.
The M305 was designed to be able to be man-handled, although it's preferred method of locomotion is to be towed by a jeep or Humvee.
While the M305 does not have an integrated machine gun turret, it can fire the same kinds of shells as the tank gun, which include kinetic-energy projectiles, chemical-energy penetrators such as HEAT or APRC, and against infantry, canister, flechette, as well as airburst ammunition using Killer Junior tactics.
Killer Junior tactics use Mechanical super-quick timed, or MSQT, fuses, and involve an HE burst 10 meters above the ground, at ranges between 200m and 1000m. Such tactics were quite effective against armor suits as the shower of high-velocity fragments often jammed the suit's mechanical joints.
If this plane keeps its popularity for a whole year, I'll make a "legend" version with attempts at simulating wear and tear on the airframe and paint scheme. An old veteran from the beginning.
Not at all. An India or Kilo Pummeler will set you back US$300,000, and is faster, more maneuverable and can carry more bombs.
Their performance with or without ordnance is comparable to a fully-loaded Delta Pummeler, which mind you, is a machine that costs US$20,000, but you can find flyable examples half the price.
Our main suggestion is the use of a more efficient propeller, use of the T2000 3/2 or the T2000 2 from the Pummelers, deletion of the jet engines, and moving the rear landing gear closer to the CoM, and moving all control surfaces on the wings to the trailing edge. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation I decided to enhance maneuverability by mounting my weapons on the fuselage, which reduces the load on the wings and keeps the mass close to the CoM, which improves maneuverability.
We know that in an all-out war between our armies, it's probably going to be a stalemate. We both have little to gain and plenty to lose in a war with each other.
The greater threat is another faction who has nothing to lose, which means that they have everything to gain.
Or someone who joins and says "Can I have China?".
@TemDesBur Yep.
Here's how I think is the power displacement in the world:
Awwam has numerical and logistical superiority.
Paternia has diplomatic and strategic superiority.
And PINK threw away both of them in the GWW2.

I see.
But aside from Awwam, who uses these things? @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
Sure. At least he tried. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
He's restarting elsewhere. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
@Supermini555 At least you did.
@YuukaNeko I just remembered the rifle that inspired the original K-28: The German Panzerbusche 39 single-shot anti-tank rifle.
@AFS23 Yes, your rifle's ergonomics aren't the best.
But that's okay. A good way to make guns with good ergonomics and therefore something someone will shoulder and fire is to base things off actual firearms.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Yep.
It's just more curiosity than anything.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Already?
I mean, we've built 70,000 Pummelers, but that's over 150 years!
And if you include rebuilt aircraft and foreign production, the number would go up to 110,000 machines.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation lol
My primary issue is the lack of any effective control in hover mode. RCS thrusters are inefficient compared to a swashplate.
A bit slow and unresponsive to input, but nothing that better balancing and XML-modded engines can fix. @Spikerya
You can. We won't necessarily adopt your equipment due to our desire for standardization, but if whatever you make is worth the price of refitting all of our units with it, then we will certainly adopt it.

Cool. @Shipwright
Caliber and type of artillery piece?
@TemDesBur He should at least employ them in reserve duty.
Also, I think you should encourage him to adopt Paternian artillery ammunition types to allow easier cooperation between our forces.
@TemDesBur Okay.

Yep. 23m RHAe. @TemDesBur
@YuukaNeko Awwam. Those are the poor suckers who have to use this instead of a K-28.
@SimpleFlow Is okay.
If this plane keeps its popularity for a whole year, I'll make a "legend" version with attempts at simulating wear and tear on the airframe and paint scheme. An old veteran from the beginning.
Dear God the ergonomics.
@YuukaNeko pls make them some guns. I actually feel bad that their army has to use this.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Of course. We always use pylons whenever possible.
@SimpleFlow 10
@PINK
@TemDesBur How about the upper plate and turret front?
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Then you will lose plenty of money, since this thing is far more complicated than a Pummeler.
@TemDesBur It's incredibly narrow too.
Not at all. An India or Kilo Pummeler will set you back US$300,000, and is faster, more maneuverable and can carry more bombs.

How much does this plane cost?
@PyrusEnderhunter Everyone uses bullets.
We just fine-tuned them for armor-piercing potential.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Which one?
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation I decided to enhance maneuverability by mounting my weapons on the fuselage, which reduces the load on the wings and keeps the mass close to the CoM, which improves maneuverability.
@Mudkip Broadsalia did attack the ESR.
The ESR promptly came in and blew everything up and then handed reconstruction to us, since we decided to reclaim the Eastern USA, and they agreed.
Ergonomics could be better.
Given that you are from Windows, there is no excuse.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Well, I should say that I tested the YF-23 against this, and both were pretty evenly matched.
You did go for maximum gun firepower, but I suppose my single modded 20mm M10A1 cannon did well.
I've boosted RoF and spread on that gun.
Thanks! @Hockeygoalie21
Test it against a production F-8. @PyrusEnderhunter
@Seeras lol
about face
marches away
whistles a nonchalant tune
Nice build, but aren't armored trains used as mobile forts in order to protect railways from ambush?
@Gmanndo1000 Thanks!
@Gmanndo1000 Thanks!
@Alix451 I see.
And 30mm M15 is the cannon itself. The ammunition is 30x250mm Pilotmario, used in the M8, M9, and M15 automatic cannons.
I think they will sell well if you offer them in 30mm M15, as that is a cannon round used very commonly around the world.
@PyrusEnderhunter I'm really not sure what you could use this for, that something else like a fighter-bomber or prop attacker can't do.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Okay.
We won't be attacking you. We're beyond that.
We know that in an all-out war between our armies, it's probably going to be a stalemate. We both have little to gain and plenty to lose in a war with each other.
The greater threat is another faction who has nothing to lose, which means that they have everything to gain.

@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation And somehow they are cheaper than Paternian products?
How much is the Caliph subsidizing his weapons? Because from our viewpoint, Paternian weapons are to PCs as Awwami weapons are to Macs.
@YuukaNeko ))))))
@PyrusEnderhunter Let it go, let it go, can't hold it back any more...
Let it go, let it go...
Okay, I'll stop.
