The first volleys were from 7km away. Then add the autoloader.

The Nakiv has a range of 7km? Well, nice. And I think Alversia should be giving you some SERIOUS air support for your withdrawal. I'm also going to be trying to halt the TPF advance into NC homeland. But not attacking them for any other reason. As soon as they head back we'll stop firing.

Autoloaders are slower than manual.

NC, hate to burst your bubble, but...

The Nakil has a rating (w/o ERA) of some 415mm in its strongest spot. Your T-62 has a (I'm assuming your barrel is stock, and unmodified.) of 115mm. You're going to have a TOUGH time penetrating the Nakil's armour.

I do not know how powerful your round is. So, how many mm of RHAE can in penetrate? Once I know, I can accurately surmise how many tanks I loose.

5.A remote controled 7.62 machine gun is controld by the gunner.
6.An auto loader enables faster fire ratio.

Neither. We are a peace keeping force. We fire at any force that is attacking. Also, if the attacking force is defeated and retreating to their side of the line, and we are sure the defender is going on the offensive, we will fire on the defender. We don't want this to go into a full blown war. And the plans for a base around the hill where 70 men (unknown to you ICly at this point, but known to NC forces due to our attack on them, which we PERCEIVED as a preemptive strike. Though, they still believe us to be a TPF stronghold.) are, this base would probably be a force of a full Regiment of QS-1, 1,400 men with armour.

Well he DID fire at you with over 50 tanks, and one of them is bound to hit a Front Side 1/3. Make it 3 Disabled Panthers and 1 Downed, that sounds just about right. Making to total 7 Panthers. The DU-tip would probably raise it to some 950 or 1,000mm, atleast for KE.

Well he did have TOWs, that would probably fire 50, several of those probably snapped in air, just because of their nature (assuming you have earlier ones) or just didn't work. It'd defiently say around thirty-seven disabled, and another eleven down for the count.

They didn't have to miss. Plus you didn't state you had an auto-aimer, which is needed for shots taken while you're moving. And even if you did have one, or you took time to stop and aim at your target your RHae rating isn't high enough to penetrate over 4/5 of the tank's armour.

OOC: Let me clear up a few misconceptions here...

1. According to a previous statement from Mac, a autoloaders speed depends on the type of autoloader, the size of the turret, and the design of the turret. The Nakil, being the excellent tank it is, is going to have a extremely good reload rate, although what the rounds per minute would be, I have no clue.

2. NC, your SOL T-62 tanks arnt that great. Their gun dates back to the 1960s, I highly doubt they could fire that round your talking about(since most modern Russian tanks use 125mm rounds, but Ill check that), and the Nakil's main gun could so easily rape a T-62s armor that it wouldnt be funny(it could also destroy any NS tank pretty easily, which is saying something). The primary thing you've got going for you with the T-62s is numbers... for now at least.

Please note, I will be entering this(war? battle? conflict?) on TPFs side pretty soon. As soon as I read the IC thread.
The PeoplesFreedom

Even if it can, there is APS for a reason. Since you refuse to understand...

A APS detects a incoming missile via milimeter length radar, then it locks on and deploys a metal rod or grenade to destroy said missile before ever hitting the armor.

About training men in a day. Easy. Give them the gun, give them an hour to learn to shoot, ten minutes to learn to reload. Smack the shit out of them if they disobey (Since they're Muslim probably won't), teach them cover and concealment. If they fail to grasp these concepts, they atleast fired at you for a few seconds, keeping a head or two down in the process. They also buy more time for recruits to get a complete day of training, or maybe even a week.

Get your tank crews out of the tank, have them open the hatch of the Nakil (or blow it open) then toss a grenade.
