Ideas..comments anyone?

Are you sticking with Real life tech?
Or if not what level of are you utilizing for the Luger Island conflict?
I have some questions about your Tanks, and other armoured veihicals.

Thankyou
Indepenants

I use MT- with a few PMT tech levels what about my tanks?
for the Lugar island conflict im mostly using MT..most of my PMT things deal with air craft and ground vehicles or infantry weapons

my tanks would be comparable to modern tanks like the M1A1 with the exception of the sea sprite tank Phenoix milita designed that one for me specifically to give me the option for more firepower during amphibious assaults a modern version of the DD tanks in WW2 the titan tank is another take on the DD tank and is more of a massive mobile although (very limited mobility) artillery platform than a true tank. Other PMT things i use are the fact that my Infantry already use the land-warrior system as well as using the metal storm AICW and other metal storm weapons. The metal storm system which is also used by some of my air craft and armored vehicles as well although those assets can be "removed" if im in an rp that doesn't allow PMT tech levels...even tho metal storm is already in the live testing phase so its technically MT but some people like to bitch...

The Lugar island is really my first in depth RP on NS....and I didnt want to try and RP a war with a nation of something around 6.987 etc etc billion people since that tends to be annoying when a small nation like Iragia or myself does something and then is invaded by an army that is more than double its total population i find that personally to be very lame and annoying as logistically to deploy something like 12 million soldiers would cripple a country economically because you would have to pay the soldiers, feed them, and constantly resupply them with ammo etc etc...but anyways what questions do you have?

logistically to deploy something like 12 million soldiers would cripple a country economically because you would have to pay the soldiers, feed them, and constantly resupply them with ammo etc etc...but anyways what questions do you have?

Things to keep in mind- these nations are massive, they can take those in the military and pay them just as the UK, USA or any other country does in real life. Its percentage of the population in the military, rather than size of the armed forces, that counts when you can and can't supply them.

Also when people say its logistically impossible i say no its not, its like having loads of different armies in one place, look at WW1, each nation did fine supplying their armies despite there being millions fighting. of course you need co-ordination but its possible, its like feeding a nation imo. Not an easy task, but do-able.

Also, in NS, economies go above and beyond those of the real world, with so much trading going on and so many opportunities as well as 7billion large nations it means that you can have a lot more technology and your whole country, rather just parts of the world, will be technologically advanced. What i mean by that is the earths population is 6billion people, but much of it is poorly developed, in jsut one country it can all be well developed.

I was just saying..to me it kind of dulls the rp if a nation of say 200 million is fighting somewhere and then a nation of 9 billion sends a massive army that easily obliterates the other one..I know its possible in real life if a developed nation invades an undeveloped one just in my opinion it'd make for a better more interesting RP if the larger nation sent a smaller force..rather than some huge super army that obliterates everything..Im aware that larger developed countries can deploy large forces with little problems..and in ww1 the forces were still relatively close to each other..Allied armies spread the toughest campaign logistically would have been the US Marines island hopping through the pacific..while on nation states you can be even further or even galaxies away from your target which makes logistics that much harder.

Thats true, but still possible. That was my point, not anything to do with just swamping a nation to take it over. It is pointles as far as RPing goes unless you ICly have to get the invasion done quickly.
