@Boeing727200F Not quite, it's a severe hurricane, even the A-40 can't fly though this stuff (imagine being the strongest plane in the world and completely unable to handle a bit of wind)
@JaxHere
OK, so long story in the shortest terms possible...
We went to war with SPSidearm, he captured Wright, we got it back, but now there's a storm, so the entire war is going to be land/sea based (mostly land)
@MIGFOXHOUND31BSM26 May not be exact, but here's the general idea (pretty much 99% accurate, same meaning just not word-for-word):
1. Well, we're absolutely screwed. I'm going to go get my camping equipment.
2. I left my axe at the milk store; I thought you dad might want to pick it up.
3. Shock, you know LVL-100, LTD, and I can just... float, right (edit: referring to amphibious capabilities, not levitation)? Oh, also ARV, Enargite, and Shrike, but I swear they have the braincells of children raised on Cocomelon.
@JSTQ You mentioned you were planning to give the T-3 to SPSidearm, so I figured that would sort of even the score between the MDA and the RCF if he got them.
Random Lore Dump:
AMX-10M speaks in French. Tonk and Somua also speak, respectively, Italian and French, but both of the latter-mentioned know English. AMX-10 does not. Probably a contributing factor to her hermit nature, considering almost everyone else in the MDA either speaks English or doesn't understand French. That and people got something against France (I'm looking at you @nukethefrench (/j))
Oh also, the LTD scene wasn't just for humor, that's a foreshadowing;
The air is unavailable, but somehow the sea survived the hurricane. Water transport and warfare may finally find use here!
@SPsidearm
Look man
Even if I wanted to give it back, it's physically impossible.
The storm is getting worse, we can't even fly Lagwing, the literal easiest to fly carrier on the planet.
@JSTQ Well, we're strong, but I wouldn't say that. It's possible, for sure, we took plenty of losses when TitanicBuff nuked us (there's an entire record)
However, there is one more aspect that may make things interesting: weather.
You'll see what I mean soon...
@JSTQ hmmm
Perhaps a more naval or ground based battle would be more interesting?
Reason for air fights is because, well, it is SimplePlanes, so naturally the air is most people's strong spot. However, I can see the game switching from the air battle, since the main issue will be retaining control, which can't exactly be done from the air...
Also the M-War had a little less strategy since it all happened to suddenly, so it was mainly a brawl for survival. Honestly though, the biggest difference was two things:
-Monarchii, in the lore, is quite literally a monarchy. Although the MDA seems powerful, attacking enemy uprisings, we actually began as the insurgents revolting against the Monarchii.
-Monarchii had allies, all of the MDA's other opponents have been fighting basically alone since CallsignGizmo ditched TypoA in the TC-War.
@JSTQ Been going on for some time, but this is the newest war the MDA is involved in.
Crazy to think that the MDA is 3-0, having won the M-War, TC-War, and TB-War. Looks like we may win the S-War, too.
@Dragoranos
Not sure why it hasn't appeared in the Siren War yet (S-War is different from Siren War, S-War is SPSidearm War), but I didn't know we could use it here...
Either way, naval presence will probably be good :D
@MIGFOXHOUND31BSM26
No prob, I'm working on two [REDACTED] since I finished the second-gen guy who shot down the A400 and Redfale, so we can severely up Wright's defenses. Also remember that ACRA can, apparently, shoot down planes now.
@MIGFOXHOUND31BSM26 Ah yes, the classics.
Advance Australia is easily a staple of WT Soundtracks, even one of the mentioned songs, The CAS is on The way has a reference to it. Sadly, though, Red Starred Avengers didn't get a leitmotif in the modern soundtracks :< (A slightly modified version of Red Starred Avengers, Arise Great Country, however, did get its leitmotif in Through the Clouds).
@MIGFOXHOUND31BSM26 @SPsidearm
Also, in reality, it wouldn't be physically impossible to recapture the captured territories, but it would be realistically impossible, since we set up numerous AA weapons there. Now, in truth, North Runway had no air-to-air defenses (to my knowledge), a bomber could've taken down the AA, allowing the other plane to land, but the issue with that is that the RCF, canonically, has not used any bombers in any articles preceding any point before now. So it's possible, just not realistic.
!
Also, there is some good news for us (FOXHOUND), Wright was a neutral territory turned captured, so it could be taken by either side just by landing in the area with no opponents there, but since Yeager is our homebase, it will take significantly more effort to capture it. Unfortunately, this does mean Wright could be recaptured (by the RCF), but we won't let that happen.
@SPsidearm @MIGFOXHOUND31BSM26 Alright lemme settle things out a bit
1. I fricking hate to use my enemy's tactics but the U-2 and B-29 were technically classified, don't think Russian gave them back to America. I'm assuming that, in the situation you actually had captured/stolen an ARV-22-A1, you wouldn't hand it over either. Sorry bro, but you are not getting that SC-340E5 back.
2. If this is the Katana you're referring to, no. If you mean my Katana that I built several months ago, also no. But can you at least clarify please? I'm super confused who Katana/Murasama is at this point...
It's basement guy! We have to help him escape!
