You, and your group went inactive and straight dropped the entire region for a new and "better" one (which fell by the way, nice job dingus's), and only then, THEN, do you come scurrying back to try and rebuild the cr@ppy, early bird, beginner region all over again! Are you actually Fµcking Kidding me?

The freakin' ESU's been dead for like, a year, and you wan't us to go back? If it hadn't been for Latrovia, I'd still be stuck in that idiotic "Alliance". An "Alliance" mind you, of the same, inactive and relatively spiteful characters that killed not one, but two regions! Lat tried to warn all of you and you straight attacked him!

Yea, no, and in your stapled fashion, Really Anti? Really? Way to F**cking rub it in. But seriously, what'd I expect. -_-

Andromitus has tasted the blood of war before, and we have the scar of atomic fire in our past. We survived it then, and in the ashes of this burned world, we will arise a new, an Grand Phoenix, soaring into a brave new world. O Brave New World! O Brave New World!

And so has the cross and davids star. On multiple occasions. With hundreds of warheads each time. Without any notice. Yet every time after we rebuilt, and became stronger, but now that we have a notice, all citizens of any nation (excluding Solla Ultima) are welcome to take refugee in The Cross and David's Star's many underground nuclear shelters!

Are's didn't :P, our old government, during a civil war, nuked two major cities, and in the ensuing 15 post-war year's of pure anarchy, called the Aeons Scar, a man by the name of Septus Tharson. In said ensuing years of pain and torment, Septus was chosen by the few remaining members of the Ædenist Ideology to become their "Wayfinder", sort of like a non-holy prophet, for serious lack of a better term.

Our nation didn't survive, a new one was thrust forth from the ash; but NS doesn't allow us to change our names so... :3

Hey, your nation and my own are similar in one way at least? I like to imagine (cause I'm too lazy to write factbooks with lore and stuff) that it was Dr. Wily and Dr. Light that helped transform early Magnatronia from a sun-baked wasteland resembling the American Wild West into the industrialized urban society that it is today. Well, it's not actually a society, since this is all fictional. But you know what I mean.

I'm thinking of naming the small-arms I produce after smaller cat breeds -the larger weapon systems get named after large cats, like the "Lynx" and the "Caracal"- to keep the style.

I'd try to avoid names like the "Tabby" of course.

Well, first, there's no reason for it to eject it's pilot.

A parachute needs at least a roundabout of five hundred feet, so you're really just finetuning how lethal that fall is.

Furthermore, you seem to be overestimating the accuracy of such a tool.

You're asking a soldier without armour besides his PPE to drive straight into the LOS of an enemy group, to eject at ~20-25 feet and to hope that every enemy soldier dies...because any survivors will either beat him to death, torture him, or use him as a prisoner of war.

Let me ask you something...would you do what you just said an average soldier would do.

Lastly, it's tracked and is thus much more mechanically complicated than a wheeled vehicle, as well as more costly.

Great! So we have two major RP's currently going on, although your going to need to make an account on our offsite Forums;

Confederacy General

http://s15.zetaboards.com/COFN/topic/10110176/9/#new

En Mass RP, here, you can outline actions going on within your nation, and who those actions can affect. We all recently just came out of a World Conference, although none-the-wiser. Due to its nature, you can easily join in as one of the many nations that didn't attend the conference. Although I suggest you read up a little on some of the nations involved, so you understand different ties between all of us!

Serpents of Æden

http://s15.zetaboards.com/COFN/topic/10139937/2/#new

This is a personal RP centering around a unique terrorist group known as Vipers. Originating within Andromitus, a possible splinter group, nicknamed "Era Two". After several Terrorist attacks within Andromitus, Magnatronia, and Aghrabia, a multitude of nations have hopped on board to fully eradicate this local-turned-global menace. (Read it's OOC to learn how to play it)

Were also planning a potential WWII style RP, or a modern-day World War on future dates!

What i mean by ejecting is forcing the pilot off of the craft by pushing him back,

And it's meant to be a surprise attack to increase chances of success.

i get that the pilot's running a risk and is meant to be either as an ambush or last resort.

Frankly, yes, hell, i'd stay on the craft if it meant contributing to the cause.

Yeah, but which would work better in different environments? Wide tracks, or thin wheels?

A key part of an ambush is the element of suprise, T.

You aren't closing to one hundred feet of an isolated unit without someone hearing, a mile if they have forward observation and five if they have air support.

With no insult meant to you, that's bluster until proven otherwise.

Everyone does it, bluster that is, but until proven in the fire of combat all of this "I would!" is pointless when one is faced with the multitudes of soldiers who aren't needlessly focused on throwing their life away, or so indoctrinated as to do it without need.

Tires, really.

Tracks are useful for a few areas, but there are alternatives for wheeled vehicles that keep them from really hindering operations.

Take Humvees, for example, if the argument of "Tracks are better" took hold, wouldn't they clearly also be so equipped? Or is it more likely that any military would prefer to simply put chains on tires in the snow and reap the simplicity of a nice wheeled system.

Tires, really.

Tracks are useful for a few areas, but there are alternatives for wheeled vehicles that keep them from really hindering operations.

Take Humvees, for example, if the argument of "Tracks are better" took hold, wouldn't they clearly also be so equipped? Or is it more likely that any military would prefer to simply put chains on tires in the snow and reap the simplicity of a nice wheeled system.

what about mud or sand? Thin tires aren't gonna do jacksh!t if put in those situations where surface area is a must.

For one, people drive on beaches all the time.

For a second, larger tires are entirely possible.

For a third, they can dismount and drag their vehicle out of the patch (it'll be a patch) if they can also go and blow up on it....it'd actually be a lot easier since it's not tracks and all.

Just as with yesterday, the system that works in one very specific circumstance but is flawed in many others will fail.

I again direct you to the humvee.

So I'm going to assume you missed where it said "Test Humvee"

Have you given thought to the fact that both Switzerland and Poland operate Humvees and other wheeled vehicles?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMZ_Dzik

They also made test models of MBTs equipped with 140mm main guns, didn't make it any less ridiculous past the cold war.

Again, I direct you to my points.

Yes, but he prefers "the Eternal & Most Glorious Shah, Siddig ibn al Shir, President and Supreme General for Life."

He mostly just enjoys his opulent palaces while the poor starve in the streets. Or while political opponents are tortured.

As long as the west needs his oil, the Shah will fly in fresh caviar daily. For the tigers in the private zoo.

I've got a business proposal for you. I'll shoot you a telegram later. Do you plan on staying in the CFN for a while? If so, are you gonna be active in the role plays?

I tried to implement some Andreallic slang in my writing, I'm trying a new style of storytelling so if it reads a bit differently now you know why

[serious] what sort of systems? Do you just outright ban imports?

Also, is all private enterprise banned, or just the corporate form?

Looks like the nuclear attack has begun. I've evacuated everyone into either underground bunkers, or to safe places on the Mainland. I'm going to try to keep everyone calm (even though I'm still really scared myself), while Diesel 10 will protect Sodor from the nukes. Wish us luck!
