@SimpleTechAndResearch I think my navy has parity with the Awwami or even the Japanese Navy, due to our geographic positioning.
The Paternian Republican Navy has bases in San Diego, Norfolk, Newport News, Portland, Seattle, Honolulu, Ponta Delgada, Hamilton, Veracruz, Corpus Christi, St. Augustine, Yucatan, Sorona, Ceuta, Papeete, Midway Atoll, New York, Panama City, Macapa, Cayenne, Anchorage, Juneau, Nome, Barranquilla, and Tumaco.
That effectively assures us a high degree of control over the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, as well some control over two of the three conduits between the two largest oceans; the Northwest Passage and the Panama Canal.
The Northwest Passage, while mostly under Awwami control, is often filled with dangerous amounts of ice, and the Paternian Navy in Nome can block shipping from Awwami Europe to Awwami Asia easily. Although Awwam has ports in British Columbia, our forces in Seattle, Juneau, and Anchorage can easily block this.
We of course control Panama, and therefore control the canal which passes through the Isthmus. This is by far the safest route of the three transoceanic passages between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.
The third passage is under complete Lanzarrian control, being the notoriously stormy and dangerous Strait of Magellan.
In addition, with our base in Ceuta, established during the GWW2, we have some control over the Strait of Gibraltar, the northern half held by Katipunian Spain. With this and our base in Casablanca and Tangiers, we have a measure of control over the Mediterranean Sea, as Awwam and the GAE jointly holds the Suez Canal.
We have Hawaii, which is smack in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, as well as Papeete in Tahiti. This provides us control over both the Northern and Southern Pacific.
Porta Delgada in the Azores is also located in a similarly strategic location, and Hamilton in Bermuda provides us a convenient mid-point.
Not to mention our bases in Florida, Texas, Mexico, and Guyana, which provide us with great control over the Caribbean Sea. Also, our Antarctic holdings provide us some control over the Indian Ocean, a predominantly Awwami area. In total, we have partial or total control over half of the world's oceans.
Also, I love the T49. It feels so satisfying to go "Surprise mothafcuka!" on some poor Tier 7 light tank that really has no business being in a Tier 10 match.
@PyrusEnderhunter The biggest mistake most people who fight against the Pummeler is to underestimate it.
Tough, maneuverable, cheap, reliable, and hard-hitting, it is a guardian angel for those who have called upon it, and the incarnation of the Devil for those who have witnessed its fury.
The Awwami Army is fully manned by guys in powered armor suits that provide protection from nuclear, chemical, and biological threats. They also have lots of experience with dealing with rebellions. @PyrusEnderhunter
And for a nation of your size to possess warp drives is insane.
The closest thing we have to teleportation is wormhole manipulation, and that's only for intersystem travel such as our Mars and Titan operations. @PyrusEnderhunter
That was a big issue during development. Due to the design of the landing gear, it would be impossible to position armament on the inner wings. Sometimes pilots would leave the wing pylons empty because of this.
The high wing loading is the result from the desire to integrate both interceptor, light fighter, and heavy fighter into the same aircraft. A high wing loading was a design compromise. This was seen as irrelevant due to the emphasis on boom and zoom tactics. @Viper28
Range, sir. The North Point may not have the close-range firepower of this ship, but at long range, due to the fact it has dedicated radar rangefinders for the fore and aft turrets, mean the nine guns a North Point has is much more accurate. In addition, the guns it has are individually more powerful. Each of those nine guns can lob a 60 kilogram sabot shell at hypersonic velocity, to achieve accurate fire at ranges of 175 miles. Maximum range is 225 miles.
In addition, it's M62 radar is able to find and track targets up to 150 miles, a distance that can be extended by a helicopter drone or patrol aircraft to up to 250 miles.
The 76mm M6A1 coilgun is a potent weapon, and has an accurate range of 10 miles, and a maximum range of 17.
This means that the North Point can begin laying accurate fire at distances where this ship's guns cannot even reach.
Assuming you use an English language keyboard, this will work. You want your left pointer finger to rest on the "F" key, and the right pointer finger to rest on the "J" key.
Now, your other left fingers will rest on the "A", "S" and "D" keys, and your other right fingers will rest on the "K", "L", and ";" keys. Both thumbs should be on the space bar.
@Supermini555 Pummelers are cheaper. We have hundreds of them on-hand. Finding parts is literally a matter of a quick Goggle search (basically Google, because I don't want copyright lols) or the FriendPages Bazaar.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Yep. Basically the most popular plane in this RP. I mean, Sals, Japan, NFK/ESR, and Katipunia operate them. Even Awwami forces operated captured Pummelers, many a Frankenstein of parts collected from wrecks. Which can also describe half of our Pummeler fleet. They were used primarily for liaison duties, since they feared that if sent to the front for ground attack purposes, may get shot down by their own troops.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Again, that was based off a real story.
In the 1960's, Australia was the site of many of Great Britain's nuclear tests, and I suppose someone wanted to know what the average tank of the time, in this case an Australian Army Centurion Mk III main battle tank, would fare against a nuke.
Again, lots of superficial exterior damage, no interior damage, and the vehicle was found several hundred meters from the place they stuck it. They feel that if the machine was crewed, the crew would have died from the shockwave.
Like in my story, the tank's engine had quit, but they found that this was to the lack of fuel, and they were able to drive it out of the range once they refuelled it.
This tank, known as the "Atomic Tank", would continue to see service in the Australian Amry for many years, including their involvement in Vietnam, where it saw heavy combat, including several RPG hits that disabled it. It's still around today.

@PyrusEnderhunter Remember, you're an upcoming nation.
It doesn't make sense to just start and have the firepower of the Paternian Republic, let alone Awwam.
We have the second most powerful military force on the planet.
@GluonicGaming Looks good!
Also, I love the T49. It feels so satisfying to go "Surprise mothafcuka!" on some poor Tier 7 light tank that really has no business being in a Tier 10 match.
There are more recent versions of the Stallion you could have used.
@Himynameiswalrus Upload it!
@Himynameiswalrus Sounds good!

I see.
But Pummelers are a good investment. They're cheap, reliable, and hold their value well. @PyrusEnderhunter
The M3 Lee!
And Y-axis, since I really wanted the convergence point to focus on the crosshairs in the cockpit. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
The Awwami Army is fully manned by guys in powered armor suits that provide protection from nuclear, chemical, and biological threats. They also have lots of experience with dealing with rebellions. @PyrusEnderhunter
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation I actually mean it IRL.
Seriously, I'm not going to the process of going between Simpleplanes and Notepad++ just to give this plane the gun convergence it deserves.
Permission to use in an upload?
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Sure! I'm sure you can tool up the Istanbul arsenal.
In the meantime, I'll get to making a Renault FT.
@PINK I see.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation lol
@Simplebuilder13579 Good luck.
Not sure how it will go, but I'm sure you will be totally fine.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation He won't.
Enlighten me. @PINK
Lol @Viper28
Actually, the Pummeler, due to its age, is in Public Domain, meaning that anyone can legally build them. @Dimkal
I can tell. @YuukaNeko
I'm a moderator too.
And for a nation of your size to possess warp drives is insane.

Double-stacked wings? @Viper28
Np! @HackingAnonymous
Indeed. It flies well, once you dump all the ordnance. @Viper28
That was a big issue during development. Due to the design of the landing gear, it would be impossible to position armament on the inner wings. Sometimes pilots would leave the wing pylons empty because of this.

Just to put everything in perspective, we produce enough stabilized antimatter to crack a continental plate in a year. @PyrusEnderhunter
Lel see if NASA has job openings. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
40mph. @Supermini555
I do believe the maximum range of the Liberator's guns are farther than the North Point's.
However, the North Point's guns have a longer accurate range. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
Oh. @Supermini555
Don't worry. By the time he gets there, it will be thousands of years in the future. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
Indeed. The type is known for its power. @Treadmill103
Here it is. @Liquidfox
Nope. These actually do. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation We have Mauser rifles.
@Supermini555 Sounds good!

@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Me too.
@Supermini555 P$80,000 per unit.
Do whatever you want to them. The Pummeler can probably handle it.
@GluonicGaming Agreed. It took me awhile to get the suspension working properly.
The hull can dance.
