what's stopping us from putting a flak turret on an airplaneWhat the flak you are referring to? Large Shrapnel shells detonating at a set attitude, or just concentrated 1.5-2 incher autocannon fire?
just make it manueverable enough to not fly into the shrapnel
Sensei specifically asked us for our opinion about how to resolve the issue. Of course we're discussing it.Honestly we are all now at a "hell we couldn't care less, stop QQing" mode.
I think the correlation goes in the other direction: the slowing of the game is causing the discussion. :pand a particular few Arstotzkans aren't willing to drop it.
Also, it should be noted that we have a shaped-charge warhead for the AS-RPG28 without having HEAT rounds for our other guns, so there is a precedent for that as well.How about nerfing both sides once again? This can also be an option. So the AS-RPG28 only fires HE, and the Rhino/Hippo does the same.
Enough is enough.Well considering people on your side have called us cheaters time and time again...You guys are the ones who told us you kept reading our thread for counters/ideas without using a spy...
That's what exactly constitutes a GM oversight. GM made an error, and based his decisions on an error, which has always been the intended result with or without the error. In this case he overlooked the error, because if the error is correctly considered the result would be drastically different.Option C is basically equivalent to retconning one revise phase away from us. All because of GM oversight.
Not really. It takes this round, which in game means this :Quote-Armor-Piercing High Explosive (APHE): Armor-piercing shells, with explosives in the rear. The explosives detonate on impact, adding force to the round. Available for tank guns, and bombardiers.
But in real life means thisQuoteAn armor piercing shell, filled with explosives internally which detonate on a fuze inside the shell, thus greatly amplifying the damage.
to HEAT.
Clearly, the description and functioning of the round as it's in game (ie, increasing penetration at long range) fits much better with HEAT than with IRL APHE.
Besides, it's not exactly a GM oversight. We called it out before it happened. Saying he didn't know about it would be disingenuous.
What moral high ground? Is it now high time to go back to the usual Arstotzkan shell of claiming that "Oh GM you are helping Moskurg unfairly again"?Your side and rear armor is always said to be light or paper-thin. In this sense HE should be enough to pop open a few rivets.What, no ?
Our tank is fully armored with medium armor in every direction. I have no more problems with you taking out our armored cars or tank destroyers with a shot in the back.I am as antagonistic as they are, I mean come on, they're vaguely insulting us all the time (Also, threats of dust devils/ice giants, even after Sensei agreed that this is indeed unrealistic), like, even right now, just because they don't like us calling out on their magic weapons.
Yes, and I very much like to keep the Moral high ground here.
What about fixing the Hippo?I do want to fix it, but right now our fighter needs fixing urgently.
What revenge?Option C is basically equivalent to retconning one revise phase away from us. All because of GM oversight.
Your side and rear armor is always said to be light or paper-thin. In this sense HE should be enough to pop open a few rivets.Yeah Kot, no need to be antagonistic.I am as antagonistic as they are, I mean come on, they're vaguely insulting us all the time (Also, threats of dust devils/ice giants, even after Sensei agreed that this is indeed unrealistic), like, even right now, just because they don't like us calling out on their magic weapons.Just retcon the Rhino and Hippo to have enough HE charge to damage the dashed tanks.~5,5 cm HE enough to damage medium armor? Yeah, no, that's not going to happen.
Sensei: The Arstotzkans think their radio encryption can't be cracked by us, but the two radio encryptors are basically identical. Are they right?Even the mechanisms are identical, you still have 26! Combinations for the cipher
Why Struunk. Revise the tiger into a heavy AFV.Quote-Struunk I: Your engineers have managed to build a motor on par with the ones used in the (rather outdated) civilian vehicles you've been confiscating. As before, it gets up to 30 MPH on roads and 15 cross country. It has thin mild steel armor all around, slightly angled, with light armor on the front of the engine and cabin. The thin armor is still dubious protection against normal rifle rounds. It includes a Brumby in the passenger seat and an M2 Stallion in the turret, which is now pintle mounted to aim at aircraft. The turret has a DC electric motor running off of the car's double capacity battery, and a backup hand crank (the turret will drain the battery if rotated constantly). Costs 3 ore, 2 oil.
This thing is ancient....
Revise Struunk to Struunk II by replacing engine with a newer one, replacing Brumby with Sorraia, add more armor to withstand 20mms better.(bump cost to 4 ore if needed) to benefit from stronger engine. Make other small fixes.
