@Boeing727200F I say we try to destroy factories and production first, if we can strike their mainland. The SCOURGE's strength is in numbers, slow their production and you gain the upper hand.
The skilled jets are problematic, but should be left to our own aces like Vector who could hopefully beat them...
@ComradeBazookaBall Well, to put it simply, the SCOURGE is a he, as it is one person. However, thanks to a small group of close and powerful acquantences, the SCOURGE is both a person and a collective. To avoid confusion though, we could call the top guy the Scourge Headman.
@Boeing727200F Well, there is good news:
They might have alarming numbers, but each individual aircraft is weak, and generally unskilled. Unfortunately, they have been ramping up their numbers of skilled and powerful fighters, but these ones are still small in quantity (e.g. as of right now, there are only 12 Red Terminators, and among them, only two have been cleared for combat. As for the Red Warpath introduced here, he is the only one of his kind).
@Boeing727200F At the moment, we're all fighting against the SCOURGE, something that will probably be even more crucial given what I have planned for the next article...
Option 2, I'll take option 2 for now.
Also, our airbase isn't captured yet, but Bandit is adjacent to us, meaning that they can attack us incredibly effectively.
@KPLBall Depends. In a dogfight, the Terminator can probably last only a little bit due to heavy flare defenses before giving in, but if the Terminator is facing the I-100 at any point, the frontal laser will do it in. The laser on the Red Terminator A is insanely powerful, a clean shot could damage some of our strongest units, like the A-52, Lagwing, naval vessels, even the A-40D would be at least stunned by it.
@MIGFOXHOUND31BSM26 Oh in that case:
The SCOURGE magically appeared one day, now we're all fighting it. He doesn't seem like a major threat... for now...
Japan watching the US, Britain, Germany, and the USSR playing hot potato with the B-29:
-Technically Germany didn't have a B-29 but the Me 264 looks close enough
Well done, more Scourge Jets have been neutralized...
However, the Eliminators aren't allat close to Super Planes. They answer to the Terminators, and even they don't seriously hit that mark...
The Scourge relies on numbers for now, but they get stronger and larger with every day... most recent reports suggest the existence of over 8 million active Red Opponents... hopefully we will be strong enough to keep them at bay when the SCOURGE peaks their power.
A hundred? Over a hundred? Around the range you said is about right.
Active is pretty much anyone who does anything on the site like posting, commenting, even upvoting consistently counts as active to me.
@SILVERPANZER Well, 50/50. None remain in service, but serval have been preserved in the MDA's museums.
As for the E.VIII's upgrades, those are all great ideas! My only issue is idk how to do the XML coding for auto turrets, I can however do remote turrets (the current turrets are directly manned, while remote turrets could be interiorly manned, similar to the B-17 vs B-29 turrets).
@CrestelAeronautics Nice idea, I'll try it out later :D
Also, for name ideas, I'ma pitch three:
-Bruiser
-Encloser (play on the word "enclosure" due to the large cage structure on the turret)
-Warrior-C (C for Crestel, similar to the F-33C)
@SILVERPANZER Yes, allow me to elaborate: Enargite 0: Prototype variant, never mass produced. Only one built. Enargite I: First production variant, but was quickly "extinct" due to engine troubles. Enargite II: Literally just the I but with a much more powerful and reliable engine. Enargite III: The first Enargites only had the 150mm main cannon and the frontmost machine gunner turret. E.III added the back two MGs and the headlights. Enargite IV: Added small bits of external armor as well as improved technology, note that this variant was made around the late '70s (Enargites as a family are old, but the E.VII that we've always seen is brand new- and the only Enargite still in service, aside from the rumored E.VIII) Enargite V: Enargite V was the biggest leap in the Enargite's rise to power, this variant was a complete overhaul which incorporated the several layers of sub-layered armor, upgraded machine guns, anti-air systems, and the unique below-the-hull driver placement. Enargite VI: Better tech equipment and a stronger engine, but the dedicated anti-air system was removed since the machine gunners could handle low-flying attack aircraft. First Enargite VI was produced in 1988. Enargite VII: Enargite VI was actually planned to be the last Enargite variant, but due to the new threat of the M-War, an Enargite VII was made with greater armor and weaponry than ever before. This is where we get the three chain cannons, and the 150mm cannon is upgraded to 200mm.
Enargite VIII: The super-improved version of the Enargite that I STILL need to make, thanks for the inadvertent reminder lol
Other Mentions: M54A2 Shrike: Despite the goal being an improved version of the Shock, the result ended up drawing a lot of inspiration from the E.VII at the true root, like the insanely heavy armament and thick armor. M49A3-C Shock: Pretty much Shrike's case, but it's actually an improved Shock instead of a successor of the M49. Most notably is the "social distancing" weapon which was incorporated on the E.V, but it was angled vertically to knock out bombs and strike aircraft.
@Monarchii My neighborhood cannot hear anything or anyone but the music, iss too loud :<<<

PEA Generation 5 is looking peak 🔥🔥🔥🔥
@Boeing727200F As of right now, the
SCOURGEhas over 10,000,000 aircraft in service.I think we might need more than 2000.
@KPLBall Well, the
SCOURGEforgot to design his jets for BvR so ranged combat should work against the Terminator A.Now this, this is a truly unique design. I've never seen anything like it! What's his name?

Right now, it's pretty far out in the ocean, maybe around the Brown Pearl area.
Option 2, I'll take option 2 for now.

@AndrewGarrison Alright, great to hear! :D
Looks cool!
+2I've got only one question: will they have the iconic noise of real-life piston engines?
331k pounds, you weren't kidding!

+1@SILVERPANZER Not just yet, but this is the first step for them to emerge. Give it a few weeks, and not even the seas will be safe anymore...
Any theories for the next article?
