@GoldenEagle Also, can I write a portion where Victoria M5A6 (she upgraded herself in the field) talks with Suleimani about their current relationship status while they exchange fire.
Suleimani and Victoria were trained in the same international military academy, where they became good friends.
Victoria was born and raised in a very military family, her parents being the Challenger 1 and 2, the grandparent's Chieftain and Centurion, and the great grandparents being Churchill and Matilda.
Suleimani was born and raised in a royal family, and became interested in military strategy. Because of his nobility and excellent leadership qualities, he was commissioned a captain as soon as he entered the military.
While Suleimani excelled at strategy, he was not particularly athletic, and was unaccustomed to the harsh conditions of the field. However, where Victoria was incredibly adept outdoors (she was a Girl Scout), she struggled with understanding strategy.
The two recognized that they needed each other's help, and became good friends, Suleimani teaching Victoria strategy and Victoria serving as Suleimani's motivator and physical trainer. This platonic relationship soon grew to be romantic.
However, when they left the academy, they had to break up because he got word that his parents have already arranged a marriage with another tank. However, the two keep in touch when they can.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Also, I don't think it will be able to stop anti-material rifles (then known as anti-tank rifles), as even tanks of the era could not stop them.
I'd think that said armor would be quite heavy, and that said armor was usually worn for sentry duty or machine gunners (actual WWI German Trench Armor would restrict the user's ability to shoulder a rifle).
Fighters are the core of the system, as these are the most effective at establishing air supremacy. The Skysweeper system deals with close-mid range threats, and can either be mounted on mobile systems or fixed emplacements. For mid-long range engagements, is the Defender ADS. Coordination of these assets are done through the EC-7A Endurance or ground-based systems. @PINK
I suppose that can speed up production, but I do not think that you would be able to fit them out with the proper equipment or crews. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
Unless said ships are something like missile boats which you plan to Zerg rush us, I cannot see how one can build a destroyer in weeks. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
We do not use sloped armor on the sides because that will cut into the amount of internal space available. Also, the front is already well-sloped, and you should have the front armor to enemy anyways. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
But that is an expensive and lengthy process. It takes about 3-5 years to build a ship, or 2-3 years under wartime conditions. In addition, an additional year or two will be needed for proper testing, fitting out, and inspections before it can be commissioned into the Navy. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
Also, can you change the M6A5 Ardent to the M5A6 Victoria?
The M6 Ardent is more of a cost effective balance between firepower, armor, and mobility.
The M5 Victoriatrades cost efficiency and some mobility for heavy armor and large guns. While the Ardent series continues to use 120mm M5 coilguns, Victoria units have moved to the 155mm M8 coilgun.
Also, we don't use the M6A5 anymore. They all were converted to the M6A4 UPS or M6A6 standard.
The Victoria, although fielded in limited numbers, was a machine that left an impression far above its actual employment. Often, Suleimani tanks would have to deliver point-blank shots into the vehicle's side and rear hull armor in order to destroy it. It's the toughest tank this RP has seen. @GoldenEagle
It's simply a "have a plan to kill anyone" sort of thing.
Also, in the event of war between our nations, the Paternian Navy would most likely be able to disrupt the ability to transfer your ships to different areas. For example, passage between Europe and Asia would be done either through the Northwest Passage (guarded by Alaska as of now), the Panama Canal (firmly in our hands), the Staits of Magellan, a notoriously dangerous and stormy passing, or if the ship is in the Mediterranean, sail through the Suez Canal and through the Indian Ocean. If the ship is not in the Mediterranean, then it would be needed to round the Cape of Good Hope on the other side of the equator in order to reach the Indian Ocean. Of these options, the Panama Canal is the fastest. So while we can move ships from the Atlantic and Pacific in the matter of weeks, it will take you months through treacherous waters. Even so, our holdings in the Azores, Ascension Island, and St. Helena would render the Cape Horn route suicidal, and the Cape of Good Hope route risky.
However, you can still maintain sea lanes throughout your caliphate. After all, the Indian Ocean is pretty much yours, and naval chokepoints such as the Suez Canal, Strait of Hormuz, Bab-el-Mandeb, Strait of Malacca, GIUK gap, and the English Channel. Through these in combination with overland routes could you send supplies across the caliphate.
You just can't move ships around very quickly. So ships in Greenland or the UK cannot be called upon to support operations in Korea or China. But you can still send supplies from the UK to China via overland and overseas route through France and Arabia. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
@Viper28 Sounds good!
@PINK I see.
I will take full advantage of your collapse and go roflstomp the Bosche and Tommies.
If you need 50-lb bombs, I have those in one of my bomb packs.
@PyrusEnderhunter No problem!

@Supermini555 lol Hetzer II had only one job.

@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Sounds good!
I'd think that said armor would be quite heavy, and that said armor was usually worn for sentry duty or machine gunners (actual WWI German Trench Armor would restrict the user's ability to shoulder a rifle).
We have a four-tier system as well.

Ik. We just find our Skysweeper ADS better. @PINK
Looks good! @Supermini555
Permission to make variant of?
Yes. Under the M17 monicker. @PyrusEnderhunter
Yep. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
Literally. @TemDesBur
Yeah. Neutrality doesn't mean sh-t unless you have a big army. Like what you have. @JakeTheDogg

Basically, we have control over the seas. @PyrusEnderhunter
Thanks! @InternationalAircraftCompany
No. @MechWARRIOR57
Sure! @PINK

@Mudkip your tanks were crap.
lol as expected. We never regarded their tanks highly. @GoldenEagle

Argentina?

Indeed. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
WWI RP @TemDesBur
Bayonets are long and unwieldy. It was found that smaller knives were more effective in trench warfare. @EternalDarkness
No.

@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation lol
@PINK Ehhh...
@PINK
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Sure! Just, give us a month to get these to our troops.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Not really. This has plenty of sloping. However, the front of the turret has a pretty big shot trap.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation I won't what?
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation You can have Alaska for Iceland or Australia.
We prefer the former.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation If you absolutely, positively, must go Battlefield 1 on them.
@Supermini555 Indeed. In the other RP, many Awwami soldiers fell to Paternians armed with weapons like this.
Usually it went into the neck or armpit.
@AccipitrisEnterprises It's for a WWI RP.
@AccipitrisEnterprises Nice!
@PINK Looks a little more like a blade though.
@PINK Interesting Bayonet design.
@YuukaNeko Some old guns here.
The "weird magic" is in fact bullet spread. You can set it to "0" via XML in order to achieve greater accuracy.
Not really.
Remember that M11? We've got that in the WWI RP. @PINK
@DankDorito He certainly won't be.
But @PINK doesn't really care about that.
@PyrusEnderhunter Welcome to Earth.
