Getting too much OOC in the IC. Post your OOC here.
On the subject of Drvarska's absence - Volzgrad, yeah, but in the end he'll have far fewer losses than everyone else and the fact that he's done nothing for a few days is simply unreal.

Well I have to wait anyway. I need him to finish the whole submarine attacking me thing

If one quits, it's just epic unrealism. Volzgrad doesn't seem to grasp a sense of time, scale, and importance, just like in the last thread he had with ADAN.

I might be force to pull out because my forces are thinning out around where they needed most. So if no-one minds, I'll be pulling my troops out in a few hours.

I am back now. Crikey alot of hate going on here, lets get this sorted out. Thanks Lynion for RPing.

does anyone have a problem with my troops being unknown. I think I have a fix to it if the majority of you want me to put down some form of identification.

okay Drvarska, Your sub thats attacking me has to be an SSB.

SSBN submarines are nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines. SSBs are diesel-powered ballistic missile submarines.

Ballistic-missile-carrying submarines are massive and unmaneuverable. Do none of you get that they are not used for 'hunting' in any circumstance? The tacticians and military minds of russia, america, and every other nation that uses hunter-killer submarines - which are the ones that 'hunt' - are much greater than everyone on NS combined! Be real.
Ralkovia

yes I do. But also thats because most of us are not military tacticians. Most of us don't know this because it isn't are job to know.

That's a silly point to put forward seeing as you know all these military terms and you RP battles.

Touch'e but I'm not the average person. Almost everyone on my moms side of the family has served or plans on serving in the military. And I plan on too. So I know a lot more about the military than the average joe.

I purposely made it a Ballistic Missile submarine as I wanted it to be ironic that it was the same sub that fired the SLBM which detonated on Iraqan. I do have kilo and akula class attack submarines.

Uh-huh.

bump. Also I am getting a little iffy on whether I will continue playing. I just sort of want to fight on land. I am not much for naval combat, too much things to watch out for, I am not good with naval logistics or tactics. Better at land and air fighting.
Antigr

Then you chose the wrong RP and wrong game. RL military operations will use whatever forces are available, if possible, whether they be land, sea, or air, and so it happens here too.
Ralkovia
20-07-2008, 20:07
Yes but Drvarska is pretty much fighting me on the water. I want to ask him if I can have my troops on land yet.

Solyhniya, have you got writeups or any data for the stuff you just posted? Out of curiosity.
Antigr
23-07-2008, 16:29
I think I'm waiting on Parthians.
Drvarska
26-07-2008, 11:42
What is the point in Parthia making a massive post on sending a large force when hes not even going to RP them. I think this thread is closed now unless within the next couple days we get something going on.
Antigr

My apologies, if it makes you feel better.

Solyhniya, have you got writeups or any data for the stuff you just posted? Out of curiosity.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I wrote that last invasion plan seconds before I went on holiday for ten nights. Don't ask how it was, since it would bore you shitless.

OK, so I have been trying to write-up some details on my two biggest arms manufacturers, "Prospekt" and "Spashkov". I would also like to produce some images in the factbook I am planning, but that will take time.

Instead I'll try to describe what I am using as best as I can.

The VK series of assault rifles are standard in the Solyhniyan army. The VK-6 is no longer used, as, while it was powerful, the recoil made it too difficult to use, as with a fair few preliminary Prospekt weapons. The VK-7 is still powerful, but the recoil has been dramatically cut-down, so it is accurate at up to four hundred yards, operable at around eight hundred, and is more accurate when fired in single shot, when it is accurate at a greater range.

The VK-8 is an experimental, bullpup design rifle, that is used only by the "Вовки" (the "Wolves", a special, S.A.S.-style branch of the Cossacks) at the moment. Compare it with the XM-8, or the OICW, though it looks more like the Ukrainian "Вепр" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vepr).

The Prospekt RS мк3 LMG is just that: an LMG, or light machine-gun. It is not as new as most small arms in use in Solyhniya, but then, it is considered a well-balanced battlefield companion (after the disastrous мк1 and мк2 LMGs).

I'll be posting more as soon as I can, but I'm a little busy ATM, so I'll see y'around.

P.S. The exclusion of armour and heavy weapons (e.g. Stingers) is noted, BTW. They're coming soon, too.

Calibre? Cartridge?
Solyhniya

Sorry Antigr, I was going to publish all of that when I eventually do my weapons factbook. The calibre of the VK-7 and 8 is probably going to be (unless I change my mind) NATO standard of 7.62. The clip size is 30, and the VK-8 avoids the main problem of a lot of bullpups, whereby they cannot be used left-handed due to the angle of ejection. While on the VK-8, ejection still occurs to the right, it is better-suited to left-handed use as it ejects higher and further than on rifles such as the SA-80 and AK-74.

*more to come later*

Right, the main reason I'm on OOC thread is because I need an updated map from Drvarska if I am to land. Is this alright? I'd like to know where our coalition and the enemy stands, since my fleet will be supporting Antigr's, and my soldiers will be landing on our beachhead. I have to delay action until I get this intel.

Thanks.

The thread looks dead for the moment. Parthians?

In my opinion, if players stay absent for too long without giving a reason, we should assume they either:
1) Rout, or;
2) End up in an unproductive deadlock.

'Sup to you my friends, but this thread is a lot of fun, and it would be a shame to see it die. I can bring in reinforcements for Habajan though, if it seems necessary.
Solyhniya

Come on, let's finish off Habajan, get this thing over with.
Antigr

We can't, we have a big naval battle that needs to be finished. Otherwise, realism is nonexistant.
