Dentara, you're going to want to cut down some of those speeds on your fighters: 392 mph? My planes (along with most other peoples') can just cut 300 mph.

Remember, this is the 1930s: things are considerably slower.

Also, take into account you only have 1 territory, and it's not a big industrial state: your population is going to be small, and so is your military output. I'd be surprised if your air force tallied more than 40 planes in terms of upkeep and maintenance, and producing them.

Check your population on the first page: that'll give you a general idea of what you're working with.

A word of advice: don't flood your Air Force with planes that all do the same thing but just carry different weapons: Create 1 Air Superiority, one Zep' Killer, and 1 Ground attack/Heavy Fighter. That should be more than enough to properly defend and attack with, plus it allows you to focus on making those 3 planes the absolute best they can be.

lose i say for me about 14 to 20 planes

So there is no Puerto Rico at this moment? Because if there is, I would like to claim it.

And if it does not count as part of this 1930s world, then I will wait for the time that you CONSIDER allowing some other nations to join.

First off, don't get snippy with the Admin here: I'm running the show for the moment, I'll decide what I'll allow and not allow.

Yes, right now I don't want any other nations: we're just getting started as it is, and many people still don't even have a basic factbook up, so I'd rather get everything settled within the US part and then begin to open up other areas, such as the Caribbeans and Canada.

Yeah, that makes complete sense Italia. I will continue to prowl around here haha, and wait for a time when I can join as an entire nation, and not just as an individual or a company.

Actually, Ghassan, you will not join. If you can't respect my wishes at the moment to get everything settled and you seem to have a problem with that, than I'm banning you from applying for this RP.

Go join another thread, and try being a little more polite next time: people tend to appreciate that.

Right, thanks for the reality check Nueve Italia. I'll tone it down. Oh, and while I do understand that, population-wise, Wyoming is quite low, economy-wise, it's actually pretty damn strong. I checked, and I've got the USA's biggest coal deposits, & formidable deposits of oil, natural gas & other minerals. I'll just RP tapping those even more.

Oh, and sorry about the whole 300+mph speeds thing. I'm from a country with the Metric system, so it's hard to keep myself in check with the numbers.

heh. i'm in the same boat.

i useually get around it by not bothering. if somethings ment to be fast, it'll be fast, and slow things will be slower than it.

if it's ment to get away, and it's not obvious it won't [see above] it gets away.

stuff like that.

works very well with the whole "you state your own damage" bit, if that is combined with "players who are not arsehats" :)

Well, I just finished 'nerfing' my Air Force completely. I now have one Air Superiority Fighter, a personal fighter for my main guy, a Zep Killer, a ground attack fighter & a Zeppelin.

All up, my Air Force is looking along the lines of:

3 Demolisher-Class Heavy Carrier Zeppelins
36 WP-21 Sparrow Air Superiority Fighters
12 WB-14 Condor Ground Attack Bombers
6 WB-17 Eagle Zep-Killers
1 XWP-31 Reaper Main Character Aircraft

I know this is a tad late (actually it's very late) but I am beginning to show interest in this thread. If it is at all possible, I'd like to join. Perhaps as an Air Pirate.

I've got a factbook (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=535719) up now.

Kulikovia, you're more than welcome to join: if you'd like to be a character, remember you get up to 4 Major Characters. Feel free to post in the Bio thread when you're ready. I suggest reading a part of the IC thread and some factbooks to get a sense of the world first.

Abruck: Factbook added

Thanks, I'll get to work.

apologies, final and paper are finished, so I'll get to work on a factbook

Alright, firstly, me and Ghassan have reached an understanding, so Ghassan, I will be lifting your ban. If you'd like, we can reach an agreement by TG on how you can join.

Now, most importantly: I will be starting college tomorrow, and as such I am not sure just when I will be able to get online. Of course, this means I may not be posting as often so I believe I need to appoint some mods.

As it stands now, I want Osterstatt (who is already the Official Cartographer) to be the Mod of the Land Claims thread, and is therefore able to rule when border disputes and such come up, or if more people want to join.

Secondly, I need to know if anyone is interested in being a Mod. I need, at least, 1 for each separate forum. These include reviewing and passing Factbooks, managing the IC thread, managing the List of Aircraft thread, managing the Character Bio thread, and, possibly, a head Mod to oversee all of this until such a time that I announce I can begin regular posting again.

Just let me know if you're interested, and I'll pick and choose from whoever voices an opinion.

I'd be interested in either the Character or Aircraft threads.

I'd be interested in either the Character or Aircraft threads.

is it just me, or have we lost, like, Everyone?

oh, and 7000? last i checked i was waiting on a post from you in our little pirate dog-fight thing.

and your guy has Two of my MG planes flying with him, not one. note the "by threes" order with six planes.

I'm still here, factbook is taking a while though :(

i'am just a Character living inside a nation not much i can do

heh. well, talk to people. your character can fly anti-piracy things, or get involved in espionage, or who knows what.

but first you've got to get hold of the relevant other players and sort it out.

not much cause for conflict in the principality right now, appart from the whole grain/oil convoy thing, for example.

but plenty of opportunity for espionage and such due to it's very nature. or, you know, sabotage and who knows what else.

errr... 7000, my blue jays don't carry torpedoes.

also, i specifically mentioned somewhere that most of them had traded out their cannon for heavier MGs. so their armour piercing capability is.. not as high as it could be. only Chargone has cannon. he's got Three of them, so his plane packs quite a punch, but....

yeah, Blue Jays are built primarily for dogfighting and such. keeping enemy planes away. escorts, you know?

I'm not even sure where they'd Mount torpedoes that wouldn't mess them up, being twin engine aircraft with their guns mounted between engine and nose.

killing airships is usually the task of.. other airships, herons [tactical bombers], or possibly White Lightnings [interceptors, able to mount various secondary weapons. including torpedoes, additional cannon, rockets, light bombs, or whatever]

this presents a minor problem with your post.

Sorry, I thought you mentioned torpedoes somewhere in your post. I must've confused it with someone else's.

Is this RP dying?

creator: temporarily absent
most nations: never heard from again after signing up, or near enough to
other people: just not doing anything.

so... honestly, i have no idea.

heck, my Nation's not doing anything right now because I'm resolving the whole pirate thing with 7000, which isn't taking much IC time, but is taking a while OOCly.

i also don't really have a reason to go to war with anyone *laughs* if i did, things'd get a bit more interesting, i hope.
