You know if you feel like it you should write a fanfic of a loyalist Marine watching his Chapter go off the Chaos deep end.
I actually think you will be able to write it well because you feel it on a personal level.

please divulge your secrets

queen laurel
crystal forum
#

yes

queen laurel
#

they use basically every known dirty tactic available just like the GLA

crystal forum
#

what's the GLA

queen laurel
#

They're a terrorist group

crystal forum
#

ah

crystal forum
queen laurel
# crystal forum ah

Military doctrine

Unable to match the US military's sophisticated technology and the Chinese military's overwhelming numbers, the GLA relied heavily on stealth, speed, ingenuity, and the fanatical dedication of its forces. The GLA military was built for hit-and-run tactics, and its fighting forces tend to be lightweight and low-cost, making them poorly suited for direct, large-scale battles. GLA generals instead sought advantages in terrain. Through an extensive network of tunnels, GLA forces could strike anywhere, surprising their enemies.[2]

Without the backing of any national government, the GLA excelled at scavenging and making do with whatever resources it had. Much of its arsenal consisted of Soviet-era weapons acquired through arms dealers and black markets, allowing it to assemble and deploy small armies of tanks and technicals rapidly. GLA forces have also been known to salvage resources from the field of battle.[2]

In urban environments, GLA structures blended into the community to avoid detection. These structures were designed to be erected cheaply and quickly by workers. The destruction of a GLA structure would leave an escape hole, allowing a worker to emerge and rebuild it if the hole is not destroyed.[2] This makes it difficult to destroy GLA bases through the use of superweapons.

GLA forces made up for what they lacked in technology with resourcefulness and ruthlessness. They employed weapons and tactics that were gruesome yet effective, including suicide bombers, biochemical weapons, booby traps, and concealed IEDs. They were also known to use GPS scramblers to conceal their forces

#

basically they fight like this added with chemical weapons

#

they will tunnel through terrain to get through enemies, employ hit and run stuff like that

#

and straight up loot everything they can in a battlefield to use for their own

#

They basically fight like the dirtiest bastards around

queen laurel
#

They don't have the heaviest tanks around but they make up for it by having a lot of cheap armor

#

they also make their own toxic weapons which is very effective, and they employ suicide bombers and bomb trucks

queen laurel

but since they are based on the gla

their military doctrine is similar

You’re just comparing it to some of the biggest other tank models

i thought it was manta sized or something

I’ve seen a fair amount of Mastodons in armies, even if they’re not very good rn

can't be said for the B-24s though

the propaganda of the time was insane. they were claiming B2 level accuracy

like that's just not possible

plus i used to think all the guns on the B-17 were great, but honestly they were just there for crew morale

the window of opportunity to hit an enemy fighter before you get shot down by 20mm is incredibly short

what really protected bombers was fighter escorts

Crux of the series is that to go home you first have you fly a set number of successful missions, but everytime someone gets close to reaching the set number of missions, the number needed gets increased because they don't want to lose their most experienced bomber crews

Like getting shot down over Europe, best case scenario you get captured and end up as a PoW, whereas getting shot down over Asia worst case scenario is you end up as a PoW

but EMALS is currently in use and has achieved over 10'000 successful launches

#

it's equipped only on the gerald ford class carrier

#

the navy claims they will reach reliability goals by 2030's but who knows

#

EM launcher sounds much better to me than a high maintenance steam pressure launcher

I just want the railgun to get deployed

Idk Jay use your imagination

#

What possible use could there be for rapidly accelerating shit with magnets

#

I refuse to believe you can’t actually think of some

crystal forum

i want to know what you believe is possible

dusk patrol
#

Cheap space flight is one

#

As well as just sending things into space easier even if we can’t make it safe for passengers

#

Orbital elevators

crystal forum
#

anything not space related?

dusk patrol
#

On ground transportation

#

Also, it’s fucking cool

crystal forum
#

like maglevs? which exist outside america?

dusk patrol
#

Yes Jay I’m aware we have stuff which uses the principle already

#

Humans know how to use magnets

#

Correct

#

We have not achieved the maximum we can with them

#

Also a big part of the railgun experiment seems to largely be making it smaller and more power efficient

#

Which has other applications in itself

crystal forum
#

the issue with electromagnetic cannons is they currently can't outperform chemical rounds

#

the navy tried

dusk patrol
#

Yes and the Model T couldn’t out perform horses at first

#

I don’t disagree it might never be feasible, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a lot of incentive incentive to push as far as we can

crystal forum
#

the main advantage of electromagnetic systems is they theoretically have no mechanical friction, which would allow less maintenance and higher speeds

#

the problem they currently have, as many other technologies, is power consumption and cooling

#

making a railgun is incredibly easy btw, i did one in college. scaling is always the problem in engineering

#

and the technology itself is very old, the concepts are almost as old as electricity itself

#

i wouldn't say the tech has no future but it's going very slowly

dusk patrol
#

I’m aware, as I said a big issue is the power and size needed for it

crystal forum
#

as for sending stuff to space, gerald bull tried that with conventional chemical explosives and that didn't go anywhere because of the sheer amount of energy required just to send a few pounds of cargo into space

dusk patrol
#

I didn't say this was gonna happen next year, I said theres other applications for it.

crystal forum
#

if there was a future in it i can guarantee you spaceX would be all over that shit for their low earth orbit fleet

#

they have the resources, the need and the potential profits to do that

dusk patrol
#

It’s very likely that reusable rockets are much much more efficient right now

#

Doesn’t mean there’s no future in a tech if there’s better alternatives rn

#

There’s more than one way to skin a cat also

crystal forum
#

i couldn't speak about the cost differences but a rocket with limited uses vs a theoretically endlessly reusable catapult sounds like an easy choice to me

#

maybe spaceX doesn't want to use non tested tech, that's always a possibility

#

they could even be contractually obliged to use rockets by their government funding

dusk patrol
#

They don’t when the same money the government does for R&D for one

crystal forum
#

that is true, taxpayer money paves the way for corporations a lot of the time

dusk patrol
#

But the idea that because Space X isn’t doing it, it’s not feasible one day is very silly

crystal forum
#

you're correct there

Do most psykers view astropaths positively or negatively?

languid meadow
#

prob a mix of both but it all depends on the psyker

#

but iirc astropaths feel weird to be around like weirder than normal psykers

storm jungle

#

Its like asking "what does do you think of [subject]"

#

theres not really a regulation lol

languid meadow
#

when it comes to psykers I think astros are just below navigators in term of station (for psykers at least excluding psychic inquisitors)

#

so like some would see them with distaste and others with awe

storm jungle
#

Yeah astros are still glorified message-poles, some got more status than others but as ever it depends

wintry scarab
#

Oh, wait

#

I said astropaths but i meant navigators

winter vessel
#

I do like how when it comes to navigators, they have their own description of a "passage" through the warp that will guide them. But then it can irritate the captain of the ship when they need to warp Translate. "I don't care if it looks like a doggy door or the Emperor's left nut, can you find us a way through or NOT?"

storm jungle
languid meadow
#

Oh navigators yeah everyone feels gross around them iirc

#

they're very

#

uh how to say this

storm jungle
#

Yeah remember Navigators are all like mini-Jeff Bezos

languid meadow
#

crazy

wintry scarab

they view non-navigators as lesser than them because they know the Imperium is entirely dependant on them to work.

And they view psykers as extremely dangerous
