It's good to see that salt has been replaced by nerds doing research. /jk

The reason behind the research is still pretty salty though.
So salty that the thawing ice giants might be tear giants.

[Andres]

Speaking of giants, would our countries be able to beat the titans from Attack on Titan?

Arstotzka of course.
Moskurg would get stomped.

[Andres]

You know, I'm kinda surprised there hasn't been mention of a Moskurg tank commander getting the driver to ram an enemy tank while saying something about his sword.

[10ebbor10]

In fact, I don't think that sword was ever used.

[Sheb]

I think it was used in some of the early Trench fight.

[Kashyyk]

We're just waiting for the appropriate time to develop light sabres and reaction enhancement drugs

[Radio Controlled]

So, I take it those frost giants are going to awaken now and wreck some shit up? Or was that an idle threat sort of thing?

Cause I kinda want to see that, after which Mokburg can complain for a while and get sand devils, after which the sand devils and frost giants can duke it out. Then we forget all about the whole Mokburg vs Asstoken thing and watch some Kaiju battles.

Well the main thing we're upset about is that RR's have too low a muzzle velocity to use solid-cored ap shells against anything more armored than an armored car with any real chance to be effective, since a good portion of the heavy shell's propellant gasses are scavenged to use as a backblast to counter the recoil(and solid core projectiles use high muzzle velocities combined with weight and surface area to produce penetration forces against whatever it hits). What RRs use muzzle velocity for really is for hitting targets at longer ranges more accurately. Honestly, if Sensei states by APHE he means hollow core charges I think we would be satisfied, and you'd not even really be retconning anything(a high explosive shell that is designed to penetrate armor sounds a LOT like a shaped charge to me, just a funny way of designating it)


Edit: Honestly, my whole feeling on the RR situation is "Ok, yeah, Rhino, dice gave them something pretty good(given our shitty armor) that's a bit ahistorical, but oh well." "Hippo, wahhh? It's not even using shaped charges, and we improved our armor so that it shouldn't even work without shaped charges! WTF?"

[10ebbor10]

Because it isn't a shaped charge. It really is an Armor Piercing projectile that relies on it's own speed to penetrate.

And we're not going to be able to change that, unless we have direct conclusive proof that it can't happen, which we're having a little trouble finding.

(On that note, given the absence of direct proof that interwar tanks could not, in fact, fly, can ours fly? 

[Kashyyk]

That's like saying because you've never seen me, I'm invisible.

Jesus Christ guys, you are at the edge of our cities and you still find reason to complain, we built this weapon to fight in the desert and you advanced.

[Sheb]

glorius complain folded a thousan time cut thru moksbrug like byuttr gayjin go home!!1!

[10ebbor10]

Jesus Christ guys, you are at the edge of our cities and you still find reason to complain, we built this weapon to fight in the desert and you advanced.

Yeah, and we doubled down in the desert designing both those artillery shells and the encryption/decryption system. And we already had an advantage to begin with.

Edit: When can we actually start attacking the enemy supply lines and start to cut off the forces in the mountains and Jungle?

So what you did worked. You ignored other areas at the expense of advancing in the desert.
