I wouldn't say seethe, but dissapointment.
The idea of modern military against a magical world is really interesting, but the conflict in this series is WAY too one-sided
This isekai world, while extremely diverse in terms of politics, deities, magical creatures and such, is stuck with Roman Empire levels of technology and such is simply outmached at every chapter by Grorious XXI century Nihon army
imo the main issue is that the magic system is too weak, too slow and impractical. If that factor alone were changed, we could see a very different conflict. Where are the armies full of wizards dropping magical nukes, fireballs, freezing soldiers, etc? Where are the mind-benders, the necromancers, the elementals rasing golems or more weird shit? Forget the drink-named human empire, why aren't we fighting against elves, orcs?
This isekai is so standard and lame that makes sense it's gonna get humilliated at every turn by modern machinery, but after a while such a conflict gets boring.

>>283052117
Because it's just nips curbstomping everything all the time. Shit like dragons should at least be a little bit challenging, not just lol my glorious 1960s aircraft just blows it out of the sky instantly. It makes the story boring. I'm mostly mad because it could be good but instead it sucks.
>>
>>283052489
If it weren't completely one sided then it wouldn't appeal to its target audience of japanese nationalists and people with a sexual attraction to military hardware. Which is sad because I agree that the concept is great.
>>
This is just a fantasy setting with basic spells, and 14th century infrastructure, while there are more powerful beings (Ruri's God) they don't get involved.

Now put them in some high fantasy setting with some batshit insane magic system then the modern weaponry ends up looking like a joke

"Humanity fuck yeah" is the dullest most masturbatory genre. The literal opposite of an underdog story, the antithesis to the foundational myths of culture that provided structure for thousands of years of storytelling all so basement dwellers can feel proud for simply being born on the right team. The premise is very cool and then absolutely squandered when it's just fantasy girls "oooo sugoi"ing over MC-kun who doesn't even have the stones to go all the way with the masturbation and fuck them. Even boilerplate isekai somehow has more engaging conflicts. How do you make war boring? Have one side always win while simultaneously not portraying them as brutal conquerors.

Gate isn't being nuked and or couped by mossad.
And women in military uniforms casually beating men in fisticuffs 3 times their body weight while carrying full military gear doesn't work if the goal of gate is to larp as being a realistic depiction of military fighting from irl. The woman would be btfo unless she stayed in back and even then she's more likely to whore it up and push her work onto men then ever keep up for even one second.

In the LN she straight up shot them.

I've not heard a single record of women in the ranger regiment. You might confuse it with ranger school which is just a school you can take as a cook, clerk or whatever.

The gate gets blown up because it was also letting interdimensional man-eating bugs into the universe somehow, and now the JSDF and co. are stranded in there while Leilei looks for a solution.
Pretty generic open ending really. I'm not super satisfied though - needed more of an epilogue in my opinion.

My main concern is the fucking supply lines bro. All those bullets and fuel are gonna run out eventually.

Seems like they'll end up regressing back to at least pre-industrial era technology in a few generations then. Maybe their weapons will become legendary artifacts or something. Keeping that gear usable does require a tons of resources and equipment. Do the people that stayed there even know how to build weapons and stuff like radios from scratch?
>>
>>283067583
Not that anon, but he's 100% correct until basically the very end when they start deploying ogres in full metal armor to just bum rush their forces. and even then that part was mostly just the JSDF using their helicopters to move around VIPs to try to settle the conflict in peaceful terms.

If you are looking for cool fantasy vs modern tech fights, the series pretty much peaks with the first dragon encounter and maybe their quest to kill the dragon proper, but even then it's more of a "classic" quest since only Itami in the group really uses modern day weapons and tech.

I just checked out the latest chapters on mangadex, the big monster gets killed/incapacitated by one guy with a shotgun. Zorzal was the biggest retard in the entire book and spent the entire 50 chapters having his troops kill fellow natives then die trivially once the JSDF showed up. China is completely irrelevant to this discussion because China, is not in fact using magic. I honestly have no idea what your talking about with the gate being destroyed through subterfuge, unless your referring to the attack where they all got slaughtered by machine gun fire because the JSDF used illumination shells.

I think one of the issues is that it means you have to properly worldbuild and have an intimate understanding of two completely different settings in order to do properly.

Navy is floating concepts like hypersonic inert projectiles at a high rate of fire which can overwhelm lasers (they can only destroy so much per second).

Sorry bitch but the reality is MW-class lasers are inevitable. Missiles are fucked, planes are fucked. We are talking drill rates of 1cm/s, and this is conservative near term tech. Laser price per watt is on a downward trend and CW Laser Diode Bar Power is on an upwards trend. It's literally just a matter of time.

Yes, I don't dispute that. Clowns think that we're going to have star wars tomorrow. Not how lasers work. And they require A LOT of energy to do the piddly little shit that they're capable of doing now. But at the very least they'll make you go blind !

Something like an Arleigh Burke has 16 MW of electrical power generation capacity in the Flight III upgrade. HELCAP is a 300kW laser, the jump to 1MW is easy to see. Adding a couple MW of power on a destroyer of this size is nothing, especially by 2045. Current cost projections say it should be around $60 million to do it. Cheap. China is gonna seethe if they don't get their war before all their assets are made useless.

Found this from another thrrad, what if Gate went like this:
>It plays out like it originally does but with one more catch: a second Gate was opened, worse of all in North Korea. Their retaliation was far worse and brutal, it lead to another nation which is a salutatory state to the empire which they glassed and killed even civilians, paraded corpses all Pyongyang, they become a rival to Japan in the new world as they occupy said nation and transform it into a socialist state which complicates problems with the JSDF and the empire, like an isekai Cold War, suprisingly they rescued all the hostages and transferred them to Alnus on a condition the Japanese and the empire stay out of their affairs, but they even captured Prince Zozal and his henchmen and they torture him, and tell the empire they are using him as an example.
>North Korea surprisingly keeps their Gate to themselves and kept Russia and China out, thinking it is their chance to make a name for themselves. Russia respects their decision and gives them support in resources, but China is angered. A similar thing happens like in the hotspring episode in North Korea, but they instead capture China's agents and threaten to launch nukes if they interfere again, putting greater risk to Earth as the Gates could serve a catalyst for WW3.
>Another party has an interest in the gates next to America, China and Russia: Islamic nations, they want both gates closed as they see it as blasphemous and an outrage against the Earth especially when they learn several of their folks were killed when they open, which some nations begin questioning why sone of them were in North Korea, Japn they get but NK opened a can of worms. Regardless various terrorist and 9/11 style attacks begin happening around Japan aand North Korea, even hostage taking has been occurring, they even behead a soldier and goblin from the gates to bring the point home.

Torpedoes can do 360 no scope. It also active so it pings anything indiscriminately. Getting hit by your own torpedo is very common in Cold Waters (webm) or Dangerous Waters.

All the things you mentioned there are ITAMI's group having issues with it. The second the army and the JSDF actually deploys in any serious way, they win 99% of the time. Itami is the odd one out because he goes out of his way to go against army regulations and orders whenever he can and only gets away with it because he became such a recognizable face in the new world. If anything, the fact that it took until the very last conflict ot even get close to a proper conflict showcases how boring it is from a "modern tactics vs magic" standpoint because they barely even get to it and, as I said, it's not really magic vs modern tactics and more roman tactics with random fantasy creatures spread around vs an army force that holds back at every moment due to logistical and even modern world sabotage as you pointed out with the chinese spies.

It's a wish fullfilment series isekai and that's fine, but it's not in any way a satisfying story if you are looking for engaging combat and seeing soldiers actually struggle and come up with strategies and ideas to fight in this new world. In fact, it's weird how the japanese make zero attempts and communicating with western authorities taking in account that the empire in the new world is pretty much just romans, Not a single western historian was recruited to help them? Japan has to "discover" their culture and ideas from scratch?

And I say that as someone that actually read the whole thing until the war with the empire exploded. I stayed for the main groups interactions, not for the interesting combat. In fact, I dropped it because I found the war plot boring as hell because there's no doubt that the JSDF will just win in the end anyways, even with the random stuff you listed.
