OOC: Is AMF stepping on insects again? Perhaps they should stay out from under his feet...

Although both sides in this conflict are currently stating that no nuclear devices will be used, Higera has found it necessary to prepare for the worst.

Currently, our ballistic missile silos are being put on high alert and our officers onboard Cav's Space Defense Station are monitoring the skies.


OOC: The missile fueling will be staggered so that there will always be at least 1/3 of our entire nuclear arsenal at our discretion.

It will go something like this:

Start: Group A (1/3 missiles) fueled
24 hours after start: Group B (1/3) fueled
48 hours after start: Group A defueled and maintained, Group C fueled
72 hours after start: Group B defueled and maintained, Group A fueled
96 hours after start: Group C defueled and maintained, Group B fueled

and etc. etc. until the situation warrants less nuclear threats

We are currently not in this war, but nonetheless, we request you do not do this. It will only make things worse, and possible cause nuclear war. Again, please, do not do this.

OOC: Since the IC part of this is in chaos, consider support for AMF to have been expressed by the military forces of Western Asia. WA territories worldwide are opened to AMF fleets, refugees, and forces.

In all honesty, I'm considering whether I should launch some ICBMs loaded with EMP-generating submunitions at the massive fleets off of AMF's coast. With the combined energy spike patterns and the (obviously necessary) tight proximity of the invading forces, it makes the elimination of all things electronic within the RF fleet quite tempting. Due to the clear possible resulting fight over whether a nuclear response to a non-lethal payload would ever be warranted, I'll have it known that Western Asia has disavowed any and all nuclear weapons and is party to at least 5 different anti-nuclear/nonproliferation treaties...public knowledge.

URGENT COMMUNIQUé
Military Headquarters in Esamopia City, Esamopia

Please note that we will vehemently oppose any plan to use any type of unconventional warfare, including but not limited to Nuclear, biological, chemical, or EMP strikes.

Not only is the government backing AMF, making any attack on Western Asia an easy task for our legislators to support, but we cannot accept any intervention of the non-conventional type in this conflict. Know that it will carry extreme repercussions.

We note with interest that you are opposed to the use of nuclear weapons, however, this will be a valid and necessary response to any EMP strike under the Prime Minister's rules of engagement. Please consider that we have never used nuclear weapons, consider their use to be quite atrocious and inexcusable, but we will do what we must if you drive us to it.

All of our nuclear silos are on full alert and shall be able to launch ICBM's or submarine based nuclear missiles at any time. Do not create a situation in which mutually assured destruction is a viable response. We urge you, do not launch any EMPs!" [/i]

Vizion, we understand your concern, and you made a good point.

Be aware, international community, that we do not wish to cause a nuclear war. Our doctrine for nuclear aggression states that only if Higera or its forces (not its allies) are attacked with WMDs, they will be reciprocated in kind. Nuclear war is not our goal, but since we can only keep our missiles fueled for 48 hours maximum, we must begin now to ensure maximum readiness in the event of an attack on Higera or any Higeran assets.

The NRSS Peoples Might had been ordered to stay on patrol while its sister ship, the NRSS Peoples Voice, was given permission to return to home waters.

It was now the job of the NRSS Peoples Might to take care of the surface, watch and report any threatning activity, and make damn sure that no one harmed The People.

However, the ten or so submarines still lingered in the area, including the three ICBM capable DELTA IV's, which were reading for return to home waters, and port, when ordered soon.

OOC: Esamopia, it would be beneficial to the intelligence of the entire crowd if you might notice the "OOC" at the top of my post...all you can know is that, at one time, I have used such weaponry against Arda-aligned forces in defense of Ell and that I have had favorable relations with AMF. You might know that WA likes to use EMPs against massed enemy forces with a large concentration of sensitive and expensive electronics systems so it could be a tactic that was expected of WA, but there is no IC reason to suspect any of my OOC plans.

Please note that the entire posting above, as it is here, is an OOC rambling...and EMP weapons do not fall into the same category as WMDs, since the destruction is precisely targeted against electronic systems (not people or people+property) and it usually counts as EW/ECM due to its effect...a review in definitions might be called for.

NRSS New Bismarck Arrives in Automagfreek coastal waters to Commence First Operation of Peacekeeping
Magnus Valerius
24-01-2004, 08:16
The telegraph coordinator sent the issue of support to AMF against RF in a possible attack immediately as he reached the device used to transmit this message. Within a few minutes, the Archduke's message was fully transmitted and relayed to AMF.

Dear Ruler of Automagfreek,

We of the Valerii wish to lend you our support in this coming conflict. An attack like this is truly unprovoked, and it has created somewhat of an entente with our relations - we too, were attacked unprovoked, but we are going to shine in our current conflict. The Crown Empire of Magnus Valerius plans to send an expeditionary force consisting of a corps of 120,000 men to aid in defense or engineering. They will be escorted by an armada of several ships and submarines - as many as 50 dreadnoughts and 65 submarines can be in this armada. We will only send the force at your whims, and if you refuse our offer to help you with this force, then it will not be taken as an insult to our nation.

The Automagfreek Expeditionary Corps, as it will be called, will consist of the following divisions, all with 10,000 men each:

Infantry:
- 3rd Royal Rifles
- 6th Sylvanans
- 7th Trikoupians
- 11th Lightning Rifles
- 21st Blue Wildcats
- 26th Imperial Architects

Cavalry:
- 12th Badenese Uhlans
- 13th Badenese Uhlans
- 4th Boyaragrad Cossacks

Artillery:
- 10th Big Berthas
- 14th Royal Artillery
- 15th Royal Artillery

We await your reply on your acceptance of our aid. Please request anything else from us if you need more aid in men, or need aid in fiscal matters, war material, or ships.

-The Valerian Diplomatic Office-

As the telegraph coordinator pondered the message he just had sent, he decided to head for Emperor Alexander I Basilicus to report it. When he entered the emperor's office, the smell of vodka was hinted in the air. The emperor sat there, his head buried on his desk. The death of his wife and three of his children had taken a serious toll on his health and well-being. The telegraph coordinator politely exited and decided to report to Archduke Bastilus instead.

Perhaps Corporal Jozef Radetzky will lead this expeditionary force, as he did in a previous war...

OOC:

My sincere apologies. For some odd reason (likely the late hour, it is now 2:27 AM here,) I did not see the "OOC." Please ignore that entire post and consider it as out of character (OOC)

I will stand by what was said, however, in as far as it suggests the Esamopian response to an EMP attack. We may legitimately consider the use of nuclear weapons, something we never thought would be done by us, but nontheless a real option. Any unfair (i.e. unconventional) attack shall be met with an appropriate or escalated response. If you wish to discuss this point further with me personally, please send a TM.

Sorry again, didn't see the OOC.

This war benifits no one, as it could lead to the end of all life on this planet. A peaceful resolution MUST be found.

OOC: To sum it up: RF launched cruise missiles against AMF's capital in an attempt to kill Damien D. AMF declared war, TST, myself and some others stepped in on AMF's side, and a few stepped in on RF's side. Now AMF and RF got into an argument about RF's roleplaying. Feel free to add to this if I missed something, anyone.

IC: The moment AMF's statement was broadcasted to the world, the forces the Brotherhood promised to Automagfreek began to assemble in Cairo's harbour awaiting shipping to AMF. 100.000 soldiers, 200 tanks, 500 Banshee's and 500 Apache's were flown to Automagfreek* to help repel the first Russian invaders, the rest of the promised forces** would arrive by ship. Along with all transport ships necessary to carry the troops to AMF, the fleet was the largest the Brotherhood had ever sent out. Thirteen aircraft carriers, fifty destroyers, thirty cruisers, twentyfive AEGIS cruisers, fifty submarines, all four Supremacy submarines the Brotherhood possessed, and ten battleships set out to Automagfreek.

OOC:

*Assuming RF hasn't surrounded AMF's island (it doesn't look like it) with AA-capable ships or aircraft carriers.

** In total, 2 million troops, including 100.000 elite troops, and some 25.000 tanks of all kinds. 2000 Banshee Attack Fighter/Bombers and some 1500 Apaches.

I think its best that Automagfreek posts up the topic in International incidents to signal if he is ready. Anyway we'll start again and place troops placements( I expect you to post your forces soon AMF, That is your mistake in your part). This topic is so far full of BS and spam. No n00bs allowed!
And if you want to be part of the war you should under go permission from Auto if you want to be on his side or from me if you want to be on my side.

The attacking force, led by General Williams, moves into Ukraine. There, they set up their bases, including several air force bases, where the planes can take off and land.

A small naval force of 5 destroyers, 2 battleships, and an aircraft carrier move into the frigid waters of the Barent Sea, prepared to carry out their mission at any moment.

At the same time, Emperor Sean May makes an announcement to the world.

Good morning. Russian Forces has ignored our threats, and did not take advantage of the oppurtunity to stand down. Therefore, he will be destroyed. Our troops are already in the country of Ukraine, a place that has been very friendly to us in the past. Our navy in the waters above Russian Forces. We are ready to attack. Please understand that our great Empire is at war, so you, the citizens, will have to make sacrifices to help with the war efforts. But, our country is strong, not because of our army, not because of our weapons of mass destruction, but because of our citizens. Good day, and God Bless.

Number 3. I suggest that or you and GDODAD or whatever better start up a nice naval invasion of their own.

A peacekeeping force of 20,000 could be transported to the area ASAP to keep the peace. Although small, the force will be well equiped and if need be be backed up by M1A1AB Tanks and Aurora Fighter/Bombers.

The Peacekeeping force is ccurently being prepped for departure, through Air and Sea transportation, we can have the force in the area within 4 days. Umnali pledges to remain neutral in this conflict despite previous statements by our sometimes erratic leader.

If any more forces are required, the UN only has to ask.

I was involved in WWIV. I was an ally of only Drum Gods and yet Russian Forces invaded me for being a GDODAD member. The problem was that I wasn't a GDODAD member, so the GDODAD wouldn't even help me. That's the last major war I entered in (except for maybe the Steel Butterfly civil war, but that's still setting up). That's why I'm hesitating to join right now. I'd like to get revenge upon Russian Forces, yet I am not directly allied with most nations still involved.

You offer your entire population, including women, children, and elderly, plus 2 million you don't have? That's a godmode (cheat).

The Fiefdom of GreenMan is a small, economically powerful nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 8 million are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed....

Prime Minister Larry Strykert goes into a fit of swearing, until he is calmed down by a Who CD.

The LRR government tries desperately to contact the governments involved. What LRR could never understand is why people could act like they do when a war seems about to happen. Perhaps robots are better than humans. More compassionate, anyway. *Irony*

The LRR space fleet soon arrives in force over earth, with a full 50 Camden class destroyers, about 2.5 times that number in torpedo boats and attack frigates, five hospital ships, and one battlecarrier. They put themselves at the halfway point between AMF and RF space over their nations.

Meanwhile, LRR's modern-tech flotilla mobilizes out of Gdansk. The core of the fleet is the single invincible-class carrier, and it is surrounded by a number of frigates and a cloud of corvettes and patrol boats. They break off into three groups, one headed to the edge of AMF waters, one to the edge of RF waters, and one, along with the carrier and its compliment of somewhat outdated Sea Harriers and Sea Kings, stays out further at sea, under the umbrella of the longest range LRR patrol and marinetime attack aircraft. Su-34s make frequent overpasses of the fleet.

Message To The International Community:

LRR would like to announce the creation of containment zones around Automagfreek and Russian Forces. All forigen military ships entering their national waters will be asked to turn back, in hopes of preventing further conflict. We ask all nations, especially those who would participate in this war, to please honor this blockade and not prompt even further conflict. As well as this, an LRR fleet has been dispatched over earth and will move to end any fighting that may occur there. We also ask that you please honor their intervention, as it is for your own good. Any military vessels that engage in combat at sea, especially between AMF and RF, will be dispersed by LRR naval assets. We are sure our close associates ViZon and Aztec National League will back us up on this, but if you don't we are open to suggestions, as always.

Thankyou for your cooperation~Minister of Forigen Affairs Henry Gorbachev

(OOC: JA, those ships had better be a large majority of your navy and airforce, because otherwise those figures are just absurd.

Also, a couple notes on RF's Shkval torpedos:

1. There is no known way to guide a torpedo at supercavitational speeds. There is a guided variant of the Shkval, but it must slow down to more normal speeds in order to search.)

2. The loud noise and large gas bubble created by a supercavitating torpedo like the Shkval mean that it can be detected from much farther away. Thus, even though it moves faster than a standard torpedo, the amount of time a ship will have to take evasive maneuvers will only be slightly decreased.)

Half a day an eight pages erupt...These are definatly my least-favorite type of RP...I've just read every page up till now, but all the bitching has made me forget what's actually happening in relation to my forces!!!
RF, are the ships you mentioned surface or space? Oh, and losses from the torp. attack? Oh, and I'm assuming your Shkvals aren't nuclear? I doubt you'd vapourise your own fleet.
IC:
Ineffable High Command
"Russian bombers incoming, with a Mig escort."
"Meh. Activate the SAMs, dispatch defensive fighters, alert the defence satellites. Have them dispatch Jovian Lightning fighters and Phoenixes to intercept as well."
"It appears they are heading for the ports."
"Hmm. Perhaps this is a chance to use our new carrier. This will be interesting. Oh, ensure the First Fleet is protecting the ports as well, in case of a freak accident."

Ineffable Waters, off the coast of The Silver Turtle.
Towards the enemy aircraft flew an armada of fighters. As the aircraft began getting missile locks, from high orbit a second attack wave came. Spacegoing fighter craft and atmospheric attack craft descended almost vertically, firing off missiles, bullets and lasers into the enemy, the Ineffable craft diving straight through the Russian craft mainly aiming for the bombers. As they wheeled around underneath and began another attack, this time vertically from underneath the jet fighters broke formation and swarmed around attacking the remaining Russian craft mopping up.

Freekian Waters
The submarines were suprised at the rapid response from the Russians. The enemy torpedoes slammed into three of the submarines, one of which was destroyed. The explosion further damaged another submarine. The three submarined not too heavily damaged ducked and weaved their way through the Russian sub nets, glad there was little way they could be tracked. The damaged remaining submarine, knowing they had little chance of survival, fired off all their ammunition. Twenty cruise missiles sped upwards to the Russian fleet above. Countless torpedoes swarmed towards the Russian subs, bringing death to the Commie enemies of The Empire.

The Ineffable Armada, International Waters
"General Whang sir. It appears LRR forces have blockaded both Russian and Freekian waters, in order to prevent further military deployments."
"Bugger. Let me see the forces. Hmmm...It's no problem, but I don't really want to have to fight them if it can be avoided. Radio the LRR fleet, tell them we don't want to fight them unneccessarily, but if they attempt to prevent us from reaching Russian waters we will take the necessary measures.
And what's this? A Russian mediterrainian fleet? Moving near Freekian Greece? Hmm...have the Ineffable Iraqui Gulf Fleets counterattack."

Above Russian Forces
"Admiral, Russian ships moving to intercept us."
"Hmm. Have the fleets assume a defensive position. Also I want the mech and dropship carriers to deploy the first wave immediately. How many troops do we have ready for the first dropship deployment wave?"
"Erm, 80,000 sir. And 1,000 mechs."
"Excellent."

Above RF
Thousands of red/gold streaks began crossing the Russian skies. Below, Russians looked up, unsure as to whether this was good or bad. But for them, it was very bad indeed. Escorted by hundreds of fighters, 2,000 Silver Shell dropships, 500 J.E.D.I. mechas, 200 Hellfire mechas and 300 Gold class mechas were descending upon the Kremlin. Dropships smashed into it, demolishing parts of it only to fill the rest of it with troops. The mechs unfurled from the cocoons that protected them during reentry, and then began consolidating their position. The Ineffable forces were setting up a defensive perimeter around the centre of the city. Russian troops were quickly mown down by minigun fire from the mechas and tanks were annihilated by the plasma blades of the J.E.D.I. mechs, the cannons from the dropships and the heavy weaponary from the Hellfires. 200 troops from the five dropships deployed into the Kremlin itself were assigned to locate and capture President Putin. His aides were to be shot but the President himself was to be taken alive.
The Ineffable Empire had long wanted to take out RF, enemy of The GDODAD, but it seemed the time may have finally come.

OOC:

I'm going to do some bombing runs...I need to blow something up...

IC:

In the country of Greece, 5 B-52s are lined up and ready to take off. Their escorts are already in the air, 15 F-16s, 10 F-15s, and 7 F-22s.

"You know your mission, right Revolution?" the commander transmits to the oldest B-52 in the Tasty Foods air force.

"Yes, sir. We go in high and fast into Russian Forces and bomb communication arrays." replyed the pilot.

"Good. You are clear for takeoff. Good luck, Revolution."

The Revolution gains speed, then takes off from the runway. Shortly after, the other 4 follow.

They know that not all of them will come back in one piece...

Prime Minister Larry Strykert goes into a fit of swearing, until he is calmed down by a Who CD.

The LRR government tries desperately to contact the governments involved. What LRR could never understand is why people could act like they do when a war seems about to happen. Perhaps robots are better than humans. More compassionate, anyway. *Irony*

The LRR space fleet soon arrives in force over earth, with a full 50 Camden class destroyers, about 2.5 times that number in torpedo boats and attack frigates, five hospital ships, and one battlecarrier. They put themselves at the halfway point between AMF and RF space over their nations.

Meanwhile, LRR's modern-tech flotilla mobilizes out of Gdansk. The core of the fleet is the single invincible-class carrier, and it is surrounded by a number of frigates and a cloud of corvettes and patrol boats. They break off into three groups, one headed to the edge of AMF waters, one to the edge of RF waters, and one, along with the carrier and its compliment of somewhat outdated Sea Harriers and Sea Kings, stays out further at sea, under the umbrella of the longest range LRR patrol and marinetime attack aircraft. Su-34s make frequent overpasses of the fleet.

Message To The International Community:

LRR would like to announce the creation of containment zones around Automagfreek and Russian Forces. All forigen military ships entering their national waters will be asked to turn back, in hopes of preventing further conflict. We ask all nations, especially those who would participate in this war, to please honor this blockade and not prompt even further conflict. As well as this, an LRR fleet has been dispatched over earth and will move to end any fighting that may occur there. We also ask that you please honor their intervention, as it is for your own good. Any military vessels that engage in combat at sea, especially between AMF and RF, will be dispersed by LRR naval assets. We are sure our close associates ViZon and Aztec National League will back us up on this, but if you don't we are open to suggestions, as always.

Thankyou for your cooperation~Minister of Forigen Affairs Henry Gorbachev

You all fail to realize that LRR has a vested interest in stopping wars. As we have trade relations with most everywhere, and since LRR's economy is based almost solely on shipbuilding and shipping, a major war can easily bring the economy to a standstill.

And nanakland, you at least owe me thanks for offering to help your ships escape. At least we're too lazy to hold a grudge.

And lord Christopher Scottman, we never threatened to attack. Does it say attack anywhere in that post? No. Is it ever LRR government policy to fire a shot unless in order to escape after taking heavy casualties? No. But we also really don't want to be bombed by a vastly more powerful nation while we rely on a largely outdated and somewhat small air defense force. So in retrospect the blockade was not such a good idea. But there is still hope for a peaceful settlement, provided that you guys are not hell-bent on destroying eachother, in which case the LRR fleet would hang around to provide medical aid which I am pretty sure two combatting sides would not provide eachother.

IC:

After reviewing the chances of survival, the LRR fleet commanders have realized that a flotilla of patrol boats and various other light ships would not do well to try and stop a fleet of much larger ships from entering the blockaded waters, so they are being withdrawn from their blockade stations. Please, for your own good, come to a settlement here! This is a war between a small group of people, namely the high governments of all of the nations involved. It is not, we repeat not a war for the good of the people. If you honestly care about your citizens, please withdraw your troops and ships and planes and make peace.

But if you decide not to make peace and to destroy eachother, LRR asks permission to deploy a contingent of medical personell in the major combat areas to provide first-rate care to wounded troops, and will gladly reserve forces for the post-war cleanup. This is totally free, in case you thought it would cost you. All we ask is that you don't nuke us or invade us, or at least allow us time to leave beforehand.

OOC: Nodea, it's in Freekian waters (i.e. off the Automagfreek coast). You wouldnt've been able to track my subs but I'll let you off.
Half a day an eight pages erupt...These are definatly my least-favorite type of RP...I've just read every page up till now, but all the bitching has made me forget what's actually happening in relation to my forces!!!
RF, are the ships you mentioned surface or space? Oh, and losses from the torp. attack? Oh, and I'm assuming your Shkvals aren't nuclear? I doubt you'd vapourise your own fleet.
IC:
Ineffable High Command
"Russian bombers incoming, with a Mig escort."
"Meh. Activate the SAMs, dispatch defensive fighters, alert the defence satellites. Have them dispatch Jovian Lightning fighters and Phoenixes to intercept as well."
"It appears they are heading for the ports."
"Hmm. Perhaps this is a chance to use our new carrier. This will be interesting. Oh, ensure the First Fleet is protecting the ports as well, in case of a freak accident."

Ineffable Waters, off the coast of The Silver Turtle.
Towards the enemy aircraft flew an armada of fighters. As the aircraft began getting missile locks, from high orbit a second attack wave came. Spacegoing fighter craft and atmospheric attack craft descended almost vertically, firing off missiles, bullets and lasers into the enemy, the Ineffable craft diving straight through the Russian craft mainly aiming for the bombers. As they wheeled around underneath and began another attack, this time vertically from underneath the jet fighters broke formation and swarmed around attacking the remaining Russian craft mopping up.

Freekian Waters
The submarines were suprised at the rapid response from the Russians. The enemy torpedoes slammed into three of the submarines, one of which was destroyed. The explosion further damaged another submarine. The three submarined not too heavily damaged ducked and weaved their way through the Russian sub nets, glad there was little way they could be tracked. The damaged remaining submarine, knowing they had little chance of survival, fired off all their ammunition. Twenty cruise missiles sped upwards to the Russian fleet above. Countless torpedoes swarmed towards the Russian subs, bringing death to the Commie enemies of The Empire.

The Ineffable Armada, International Waters
"General Whang sir. It appears LRR forces have blockaded both Russian and Freekian waters, in order to prevent further military deployments."
"Bugger. Let me see the forces. Hmmm...It's no problem, but I don't really want to have to fight them if it can be avoided. Radio the LRR fleet, tell them we don't want to fight them unneccessarily, but if they attempt to prevent us from reaching Russian waters we will take the necessary measures.
And what's this? A Russian mediterrainian fleet? Moving near Freekian Greece? Hmm...have the Ineffable Iraqui Gulf Fleets counterattack."

Above Russian Forces
"Admiral, Russian ships moving to intercept us."
"Hmm. Have the fleets assume a defensive position. Also I want the mech and dropship carriers to deploy the first wave immediately. How many troops do we have ready for the first dropship deployment wave?"
"Erm, 80,000 sir. And 1,000 mechs."
"Excellent."

Above RF
Thousands of red/gold streaks began crossing the Russian skies. Below, Russians looked up, unsure as to whether this was good or bad. But for them, it was very bad indeed.

It was a dreary day in the capital of Haton. Unusually, the departure of a fleet to battle was heralded by a great amount of fanfare. Now, this was not the case. The troops, along with their families, were in a somber mood, knowing well that many of them wouldn't come back. The ships silently pulled out of the harbor, the troopships and carriers in the middle of a ring of battleships, frigates, destroyers, subs, etc.The carriers launched screens of fighters and anti-sub aircraft around the fleet. The ships began to make their way to Russia. Some of the soldiers may have even felt as if they were going home, as our nation was founded by Russian exiles.

OOC: If you'd read more carefully (which I can forgive 'cos it was a massive post) you'dve noticed that the mechs and troops are from dropships, from my fleets in orbit. Hence the golden plasma streaks as they crossed the sky. You hadn't said no starships until page twenty, although you did say no uber-tech you said limited space tech was fine(okay, I suppose dropping troops in from orbit is stretching it a bit). I'm not going to ortillery bombard you, that's just boring. But I'll retract the spaceships if I must. Will make next IC post in the other thread, along with a repost of my previous post here.

OOC:
Well, tactically, most humanoid 'mechs' aren't really good combatants. Their profile is too high and it's a lot harder to give them any form of camouflage or stealth than tanks. In addition, limbs are harder to protect than tracks and wheels. They may be armored and well armed, but they're easy targets. They can easily be crippled and destroyed.

I wouldn't mind 'mechs' at all, because personally in my opinion they would suck.

OOC: Okay, will remove that bit and edit my last post in the other thread. I'll keep the mechs, but only the one's with the invasion army on the ground. There's not much point dropshipping mechs but not troops.

Edit: Zvarinograd, in an open field they may not be quite as good. However, in urban combat try being a tank commander driving forward down a street, when suddenly from behind you a plasma sword starts cutting your tank in half before you have a chance to react.

OOC Note: Plasma swords aren't a godmod. They were developed with (actually, mostly by) another nation when I did the research thread for my mechs ages ago.

I'd agree with Zvarinograd... thing about Mech's is that they are more expensive then most tanks, they need more technology and they need more sensitive equipment (so they can balance and walk). What's more they probably have an issue with armour and balance that tanks would never have... you have limits on what you can stick on a leg and with the right equipment an infantry team could just take it's leg out and it'd be crippled.

Too costly for a few more advantages... I'd rather keep my tank and infantry for the reduced costs and well developed tactics.

25-01-2004, 22:26
OOC: Since this thread seems to have sort of become redundant due to the actual war taking place in another thread, I'm just going to address the consistent hate for mechanized infantry units (aka Mechs).
Mechs, as they exist in Battletech, are in fact supremely god-moding, because they won't even feel damage from weapons from infantry sources; you'd need at least a 120mm cannon loaded up with good old uranium sabot to at least dent the armor. Then you've got RACs and lasers and PPCs and missiles bigger than my--well, let's just say they're big ass missiles. ;)
However, there are further derivations of the bipedal mech that are roughly 2.2m tall (about 7-8 feet); these units are significantly more dangerous to both tanks and infantry alike, depending on how they're designed. They can move faster via some form of jet-assisted jumping mechanism, they have tougher armor than even level-III Kevlar with ceramic plate inserts, and due to the mechanized musculature, they can carry heavier weapons at a lower speed penalty. Their greater speed also makes them tougher to target without using area-effect/overpressure weapons such as grenades or high-explosive rockets; sniper rifles may be a possibility if you can immobilize the unit long enough for the shooter to get a positive lock.
So, in conclusion, Mechs will fail in a battlefield scenario, but powered personal combat armor is the next generation of combat hardware. [/opinion]
