I've never seen a portrayal of samurai or medieval Japanese soldiers with shields. Why? Did they not invent the most obvious thing ever?

You'll get a spank instead.

Why don't modern uniforms have some sort of leaf suit strips sewn in by default? A few strips of laser-cut camo on the shoulders would help break up the silhouette a lot, and I can't think of any major downside.

leaf suits are made of the same shit tents are and have a mesh base, they're practically weightless and don't hold any water. thats part of the reason why traditional ghillie suits are obsolete boomerslop that have been basically irrelevant in ukraine, and are going the way of the dodo even among western countries observing the conflict. obviously theres a kinda ritual aspect to having your snipers make thier own suits in training to learn the principles of concealment, but when actually deployed, factory made leafsuits and viper hoods will have totally supplanted them before the end of the decade IMO.

That's a really good idea actually. You take an open topped vehicle where the armored sections are several times thinner than an M113, then you cram it full of energetic supplies like gasoline or explosives. That should be pretty much impervious to a mid-strike drone with an 10 pound warhead.

Saboted slugs need a rifled barrel to spin stabilize them. That's why you're not getting accuracy with a smoothebore. Rifled slugs rely on diabolo principles to stabilize, so they work better from smoothebore.

NTA.I would make parallels with more specific gunpowder revolution in 1500. Gunpowder, cannons and hand cannons were known for centuries but they didn't affect field combat much (changed siege warfare though). Similar we got guided weapons in WWII but first they affected only expensive targets, ships, aircrafts, soldiers continued to shot bullets are each other like it's 1525.
But then revolution happened. In 1460 first arquebus appeared and it spread extremely quickly especially for that era. In 1500 top military powers were armed with arquebus. We had sultans and HRE emperor making edicts literally banning bows among their elite Janissary and Landsknecht shock troops and demanding that they arm themselves with novel guns. In 1525, 1526 happen famous Pavia and Mohak battles where novel weapons triumphally defeated old school power of the knights. Historically for the era it was extremely fast, within one lifetime war changed completely.
Same thing today, "gunpowder" guided weapons were known since 1944 but in 2023 advances reached critical mass to change war for ordinary troops and every tank within one year.

Talking about parallels with carrieers and battleships. Were need "land carriers". Today drones are very effective but their launxh points lack mobility. Drones are launched by dismounting troops. And that undermines maneuver warfare and makes defense stronger. If you advance you quickly leave range of your "bubble" of drones and face enemy drones without your own drone support .

Military needs land carrier. AFV that can control and launch FPV and other drones on the move (compromise launch form short stop). Some APC with cargo storage of drones and drone "loaders", who can prepare drone for a launch on the move. And drones operator and stabilized communication antenna that can maintain control of the drone when vehicle is moving.
Such vehicle is absolutely necessary to conduct maneuver warfare in the drone era. Drones are extremely potent weapons, and you need to have capability to use them when you conduct maneuver.

>retard believes drones are to tanks what guns were to swords
LMAO, they have entirely different roles to begin with you fucking idiot. A sword is a personal use weapon for a single soldier
A gun is a personal use weapon for a single soldier.
A drone cannot perform the roles that a tank does. Unless it is a drone in the shape of a tank, in which case it would still be called a tank
>>
>>65351563
Think of sword armed knight. Swords is a close range weapon
Tank is a close range weapon
Gun to sword a is long range weapon
Drone to tank is a long range weapon
