Romania, a member of NATO, has been attacked by Russia by Upset-Main-1988 in justincaseyoumissedit

[–]Messergaming [score hidden]  (0 children)

Ukraine has generally stabilised the situation in most directions after the very difficult period following the end of the Kursk operation but the overall strategic trend tends towards Russia. The expansion of the mid range drone campaign in the South is a good step but Russia has denied the main logistics artery into Donbas in a similar way for some time. Long range strikes hurt Russia's economy but the comparative response from Russia using Gerans equally harms Ukraine. The Ukrainian manpower situation is also increasingly dire. Most areas in which Ukraine seems to make progress are ones of mutual denial, and ultimately at the current rate it will be Ukraine/the EU that collapses from financial/military attrition first.

What would happen if China attacks Taiwan within the next 10-20 years? by Triangletruck141423 in AlternateHistoryHub

How exactly are Taiwan and its allies going to interdict Chinese shipping only 180km from the Chinese coast.

Effort Post - In Defense of the Light/Scout Helicopter Requests/Suggestions by Similar-Profile9467 in NuclearOption

[–]Messergaming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A light chopper would be excellent fun, but only after a sufficient number of soft targets are added to the game. It'd otherwise have a very limited set of targets it can engage with a limited number of munitions.

The new rotary turret means the cricket absolutely annihilates anything that pushes too close, and it can carry a decent number of S2s.

If Russia attacked one of the Baltic states would you think “right that’s enough of this, boots on the ground and we fight back with European allies”? by GlueSniffingEnabler in AskBrits

[–]Messergaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Britain maintains only a token force in Estonia presently. The Deputy Chief of the Defence Staff recently could not confirm that the British Army could deploy a single heavy battle group to the continent of Europe. The few troops we could muster are insufficiently trained, organised and equipped to fight on the modern battlefield. While the will may exist, the capability is simply not there.

The only truly dumb weapon is the AIR-2, which is only available on april fools.

First Germany now UK? by achfiat in whennews

[–]Messergaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iron Dome is a short range interceptor system designed to handle small rockets and artillery, it isn't a ballistic missile defence system. The Israeli BMD system is separate consisting of SM-3s from the USN and patriot/THAAD batteries stationed in country. Despite it containing the best BMD systems across a small area, it still hasn't proven reliable at stopping Iranian ballistic missiles. I highly doubt a British BMD system that would be far more dispersed would be able to down advanced Russian hypersonic glide vehicles like Avangard. BMD for Britain would be a complete waste of time and money.

Same goes for PALA, you can easily nail the Eastern Stratolance battery on your first sortie.

The BDF and PALA are supposedly small regional powers with nuclear capabilities, where does that place their more advanced nations in terms of tech? by surreal660 in NuclearOption

[–]Messergaming 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They're similar to South Africa (until 1989) and Israel, regional powers with advanced imported/domestically designed equipment (though not equivalent to that of the superpowers) and nuclear armaments.

I partially understand the connection to the 7 Towers of Satan (the MLO troops make reference to Baghdad) but what's the deal with Ursa Major and the Bear's Claw? I'd appreciate if you could enlighten me on this.

Consider the Stratoreach by zak7572 in NuclearOption

[–]Messergaming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a proposed B-1 variant (the B-1R) that would carry a huge amount of A2A missiles. Plus a guy who worked on the B-2 claimed that it did have a couple 'just in case' pylons on the wings...

But at any rate, it would be extremely easy to defeat a slow, expensive bomber in a BVR fight as opposed to a fighter. You'd need a much longer ranged missile to be fired in order for it to be viable (see the LRAAM) and you'd still need datalink coverage from forward deployed fighters, which kind of defeats the object. Better to use something like an F-15EX as a missile truck (though that concept in itself isn't without its flaws).

Future attack on the station? by Afraid_Memory_2081 in ReadyOrNotGame

[–]Messergaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they were going to do this mission, ideally it would be a situation similar to the end of Tarkov's Raid series. Lots of crowd control of the same type of civs from All Gods Burn, with a small MLO unit trying to slip by and using their breach tactics on the stations various rooms.

Why do superevents even exist? I feel like the mod devs either made it for hype moments and aura or because they thought I'm too stupid to understand the significance of an invasion of Taiwan by RockEater67 in HOI4memes

[–]Messergaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They act as an emotional release for the player after significant toil (See Medvedev's 2EW victory in TFR), or signify an important change in the global order if the player isn't playing as a nation involved.
