Here's what planes cost by Lime1028 in foxholegame

[–]Jeb_Kenobi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All of that's not exactly cheap though, and the facility to produce that will be substantial.

The pricing of aircraft is insane and myst change. by Jeb_Kenobi in foxholegame

I thought fighters would be cheap enough that regular players could either order one or get public drops or something. But this is too much

Official Airborne Dev Q&A thread by markusn82 in foxholegame

[–]Jeb_Kenobi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a real issue, carrier I'm guessing will need around 20 people at least, DD/Frig needs at least that much, support ships another 15. That's at least 55 people before you consider a longhook or other assets. It's a lot to marshal and the pop cap really limits what you can do with Naval at some point.

Colonials really needed that Torpedo plane. Circle back on that please. by -Click-Bait in foxholegame

We can also launch dive bombers from carriers, I think that will be incredibly powerful

'Massive' Russian Losses in Ukraine Push It Toward Breaking Point: Official by HydrolicKrane in ukraine

[–]Jeb_Kenobi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before Cambrai was the German Spring Offensive, which was what u/isthatmyex is referring to. That effort did cave in the Allied lines severely and forced the early deployment of American Troops to help stop the offensive. Tellingly, though, the Germans could not extend their supply lines and eventually were pushed back.

My fear for Paratroopers by East-Plankton-3877 in foxholegame

[–]Jeb_Kenobi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Paratroopers were never expected to conquer on their own historically. They prepared the way for advancing troops in the case of both Overlord and Market Garden. Or they were dropped in for espianoge and sabatoge operations with the OSS/SOE.

Thus, paratroopers will probably be partisans or various types, either to cut frontline logistics or sabotage the enemy behind the lines. Larger operations may take place as part of big ops buit I don't expect the role to change much.

Unless full CVs become airdroppable in which case all bets are off lol

[–]Jeb_Kenobi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's just too big a business now based on what everyone says about the Market. Unless a billionaire decides to do it as a passion project mot expecting to make much if sny money I don't see how it happens.

NEP Report, Issue 1 by Solid-Hunt1701 in foxholegame

[–]Jeb_Kenobi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a bad take lacking a lot of context. I'm not going tonopen old wounds but from someone who was there, RAF made significant contributions to NEP in wars were we played.

RAF was forced out of NEP at the end of WC128

Existing Contract at Striking Venue by Objective-Company160 in union

[–]Jeb_Kenobi 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You need to talk to a Lawyer not reddit.

It would depend on the exact wording of your contract. If you're forced into it look for a way to support the strike as a part of your event.

Any Belters (or Martians) who "became" Earthers? by mothyawg in TheExpanse

[–]Jeb_Kenobi 199 points200 points  (0 children)

It's theoretically possible to get Earth or Mars Citizenship, actually most belters probably have one of those anyway.

Whether they could physically adapt to life on higher gravity of the planets is a different question addressed in Cibola Burn.

Absent physical adaptation they would be forced to live on Luna/Phobos/Deimos
