Realistically speaking what are the mechs even contributing to this military force that you couldn't get by just swapping out the APCs for IFVs instead?
>>64637153In most cases the MC just doesn't get hit, he's not particularly more durable than other mechs
Do they count as mechs if they have four legs?
>>64637108it's a retarded fan theory because it doesn't explain why each planet hasn't got like twenty thousand tanks
>>64637263Real world estimates put the number of tanks worldwide at 70,000 regardless of operability. Most of the planets in BT have unified governments and very low populations, which means the politics and economics are against large standing military forces.
>>64637308Warpact forces had fifty thousand tanks at peak strength. I know about the population problem, but BT planets ought to be at least the size of Eastern Europe altogether, right? And they are in a state of constant warfare, which means border planets ought to be that heavily cannoned up>be me>Drac Yak>caught by the Friendly Persuaders reaming out the underage Drac daughter of local planetary chairman>given the choice of honorabu seppuku or joining a Chain Gang dropping on a Fedrat planet>oh well, tenno heika banzai>hashtag justSuccessionWarthings>wait what's that sound>rumbleumbleumbleumbleumbleumble>a thousand Patton tanks beeline straight>fugg

>>64637235Stark was just a frigate and survived two direct Exocet hits. If every US warship is tanking multiple AShM while shooting down the majority of incoming missiles, that puts them in a very advantageous position compared to the PLAN's fleet that will instantly sink from a single lucky hit, even if their air defenses are up to the same level as the USN's.
test
>>64632982How the fuck are they struggling to design a fucking frigate?America was literally shitting out world-class warship designs every fucking year in WW2 and into the cold war they designed half a dozen NUCLEAR CRUISERS from scratch.But a frigate breaks their minds? Did they replace all the draftsmen with jeets?
>>64637272>in ww2In WW2 Pennslyvannia alone rivaled Germany in steel manufacturing. Today China dominates global steel production and America is barely in the picture. In WW2 America was close to 50% of world GDP today its ~25%, its 14% if you prefer PPP as a measurement.>China overwhelmingly leads global manufacturing with nearly 28-29% of the world's output, followed by the United States (around 17-18%). Another thing that gets glossed over is that American Industry in WW2 gets a massove boost from investments made in WW1 to scale up even further and the lesson learnt from WW1. That shit isnt happening today America's best bet is its allies, but good luck beating protectionist instincts (looking at you Maine and Wisconsin)

>>64633603Different mindsets. The aztecs were a murderhappy deathcult that terrorized it's neighbours for sport and slaves. Warfare was just the political tool to get free shit and clown on others. Europeans meanwhile came from a continent with a long history of adpating to fucking weirdos trying to take their shit for free.So you had a ragtag group of insanos showing up, talking about redemption and some guy nailed to a stick who died for your sins and they didn't murder people every year due to whacky divine reasons. They also had cool swords and giant animals that scared everyone. On top of it, Lady Luck gave Cortez all the stuff he needed to succeed.

How effective were these things? Obsidian is said to be extremely sharp and multiple edges instead of one straight blade might be extremely painful.
>>64634465>15 hours and no one's posted itThis board has fallen. This is an actual illustration of a Macahuitl, the last real one that was destroyed in a fire at the Madrid armory. The "crude club with chunks of raw obsidian" that's peddled by popular media isn't a real thing, it's based on tards speculating what a tool used by people they see as complete primitive cavemen would use based on a loose description.
>>64634465so effective they thought cortes with a few hundred spaniards were angry gods sent to punish them
>>64634465Replicas have been made and tested, and the results are that it kills real good actually but is also very brittle (as the cutting edge is literally made of glass). It is significantly sharper than any steel sword you can create due to the properties of volcanic glass.
>>64634900>not because they were superior to steel, bronze, iron or even copperWait wait wait.Someone unironically thinks that clubs with glass in them beat metals? Seriously? How fucking retarded are people? It likely shatters on contact with bone, pretty trash tier as far as weapons go.
>>64637322>>64634900No one fucking thinks it's BETTER than steel. It's SHARPER than steel. Those two words are not synonyms.
I see a lot of load out threads, but not many 'worst case best case' onesSay your country had a serious break down of law and order, society hasn't quite collaped yet, things might get better, but in the meantime things are pretty lawless and if you had to defend yourself the police won't be asking any questions afterwards.What's the minimum level of weaponry you'd accept in order to defend yourself, family and property?What's a mid tier, and what's the best possible case? Keeping in with what you could realistically own prior to the current unrest.I'm in the UK so worst case>I have a double barrel shotgun and some bird shot, still more than a lot of people would have>mid tier I have a decent pump/semi auto shotgun with buck shot or slugs, or a .22 semi auto or both>I have a bolt action rifle in a powerful caliber with enough ammo, plus some sort of cap and ball revolver/ semi auto .22 or shotgun. The main thing being I can shoot both at range and close quarters effectively
>>64635939the best case is muh dik + muh bawls
>>64636026Cheap, disposable shoot and scoot mortars on technicals are going to be a big thing, IMO, even if it's just for harassment fire.
>>64636017>>64635939What is going on there?
>>64636061I know, that's why it's the worst case>>64636483I'm asking what is the minimum level of arming that would give you a chance if the worst was to happen, what is reasonable and you either have already or can easily acquire. And what your ideal would be, you might not have it or it would be difficult to get under your countries laws. It's probably harder for Americans since you can just say 'AR and a Glock' to all three.The Bondi beach shooting got me thinking about it, since they were using manual operation firearms and still caused a lot of deaths.
>>64636523Nothing yet, it's just a thought tht came to me after watching in Australia carrying out a mass shooting with bolt action rifles and shotguns.

I've got a serious strategy to beat China in WW3. Let's say we're trying to invade Shanghai: we'll humidify the fuck out of Shanghai's atmosphere with milk particles. Chinese people by-and-large are lactose intolerant, so all the Chinese soldiers will be forced to surrender due to shitting their pants or experiencing a tummy ache; meanwhile, the milk in the atmosphere will enhance the combat capabilities of western soldiers. It doesn't violate the Geneva Conventions because milk is technically not a chemical weapon, and it'd be humane too since it doesn't even cause any permanent injuries. We'll haul over all kinds of equipment and boatloads of milk to achieve it, and we could even "poison" Shanghai's water supply with milk, leaving the Chinese with zero ability to fight. There'd probably be mass desertions too since PLA soldiers would just ditch the trenches to get away from the smell of shit.I don't know if chemical weapons are within the scope of /k/, but what do you guys think? Should I try and lobby this idea to a think tank?
My Chink dad drank whole milk till the day he died. The constant diarrhea didn't phase him in the least.
