So these were just a fad, right? I mean, you drive four miles, transmission breaks down, you're trapped in a steel coffin, every gun in a fifty mile radius is raining hell on you. Nobody's actually gonna try using these to make breakouts, right?
Put absolutely everything you have into the stock market right now, it's only ever going to go up
>>65036175Fuck no, land battleships are back in and have been since last year in 1925We're going to shoot everyone in every direction with all the guns, so they can't shoot back
This whole limit on dreadnoughts they are talking about I think I have found a clever way around it!
>>65036175Tractors are improving and replacing mules on farms every year. Same thing will happen in the army, these will be your new cavalry after the War showed how useless horses are on the modern front.The real question is how useful flying machines and aeroplanes will be going forward. I think we've only seen the beginning of something big.
What the fuck are all of you on about, there's no need for any of these. We fought a war to end all wars and it'll stay with that. There's no way we'll ever get anything more than some petty revolutionary stuff, were never going to need machines like that again!
>>65036255You're delusional if you think the Reds aren't going to start something eventually. We might not see anything at the scale of the Great War ever again, but we need to be ready to defend civilization from anarchists and collectivists.
>>65036175The idea is that you put a 4 mile deep hole in enemy lines so that infantry can follow through. You can abandon them after that.
I just sporterized a surplus Krag-Jorgensen bought from the hardware store.
>>65036255>>65036270Thank fuck the Poles held them!
>>65036270>>65036422 my criticism exactly, if a nation of more than 100 million people can not win a war against a nation as little and destabilised as the poles, they do not pose a threat, on top of the unfeasability of a large-scale war as I explicitated above. Our biggest interest is in policing the colonies.
Future wars will be fought with gas alone. It will all come down to who is the first to release it. They can make gas that eats through gas masks and they'll make gas that eats through steel. Trying to outlaw gas is a futile endeavour since nobody wants to be caught in a gas gap.
>>65036175Nothing ever happens.
The weapon of the future is clearly the strategic bomber. Nothing can stop it and countries can't possibly survive prolonged strategic bombing, it's impossible. The stress alone will cause mass psychosis amongst the populace. Every other weapons system is obsolete now.

i had this brilliant idea. what if all our tank types all used the same type of turret? it'd make manufacturing much easier!
Any of you fine gentlemen following the civil war those Chinamen are having? Some of their warlords are certainly excentric fellows! It's riveting stuff.
>>65036231That would be a sight to see>>65036473>t. pic related
You're all talking about the weapons of the last war, and don't see the future.This dude, Goddard, just launched his motherfucking rocket last week. No mere gunpowder powered rocket like the bongs used a century ago, but using modern, liquid propellants.It's the future, and whoever's starting the next war will face America's rocket might. We're leading with this tech, and our lead will only grow stronger with our inherent geographic, demographic and economic advantages.
>>65037353Any thoughts about what to deliver with rockets? There's weird talk in deep sciences about splitting unstable elements to release pure energy.
>>65036231jesus christ muh DIKKKKKKKKKKKKK
Man, this short wave research sure is paying off, good thing I published a 1928 English research paper on it after studying it in 1926!
>>65036175Guys, GUYS, what if..... Blades...... ABOVE THE AIRCRAFT!
Daily reminder: Buster Keaton is FIGURATIVELY me.
>>65037506I love bobs. Post bobs.
>>65037503Pfft, it will never take off
>>65037449Oh great, another sci-fi conspiracy theorist here to talk about pure fantasy weapons
>madmen in Italy suggesting troops that jump from aircraftA craft large enough to carry that many men will never exist
Do we really need two men in a turret?
>>65037643how else are we going to shoot machine guns in every direction simultaneously
Radios are overrated and costly, bicicle messengers are the future
>>65037508Please saar this is blue board.
>>65036175No, look at the Dreadnaught for the future of tanks. They need at least 10" of armour so they can laught off artillery hits, just need to make sure there is plenty of food and water onboard in case they are stuck in no-mans-land for a long time.
>>65037503Yes, I'd like to send this letter to the Prussian consulate in Siam by aeromail. Am I too late for the 4:30 auto-gyro?
>>65037729Don't BLUE BALL me
>>65037353This seems expensive. A simple propeller 'plane will always do the same job much cheaper.
>>65037503ww1 vet here dont do that it makes mustard gas
>>65037874>ww1What the hell is that gibberish?
>>65037508
>>65037895time traveler here.it means world war one.the fourth will be the funniest.
>>65038001Who wins that one?
>>65038356luxemburg
>>65038368Huh. Kinda obvious if you really think about it.
Gentlemen, it is my thesis that war has not been ended for good, but that we are, in truth, in an inter-war period.
>>65037503Heavier than air aircraft are an inherently flawed concept; the future belongs to dirigibles
Portugal has fallen...
>BAR shoots rifle rounds but is heavy as hell>Thompson shoots pistol rounds and is also heavy as hellWhat if we actually try to make a lighter weapon amd have it shoot some sort of intermediate cartridge, more powerful than pistol rounds yet not as unwieldly as a rifle round?It is quite obvious warfare is now relegated to trenches and urban environments, such a weapon would be right for the job, would it not?
>>65038534The dirigible is a solution looking for a problem, to coin a phrase. Heavier-than-air craft will before long be able to cross the Atlantic, far faster than the lumbering dirigible, with no more than a single refueling stop in Iceland.
