Umm no HHAYD. You must count naval slots as what you have in game in each naval slot.

Also I'm inclined to say no way to the decoy aircraft as well.

Well, could I at least swap my carriers, cruisers, and battleships for submarines? My navy is meant for mostly stealthy wreaking other countries' shipping. I have no intentions of using them for beach invasions or direct naval battles.

As for the decoy aircraft, they're $2000-$3000 per unit. Rickety auto guidance systems that barely pilot the aircraft (nevertheless land it), engines that can only last for 2-3 hours before catastrophically exploding, fuel efficiency so low that you can literally see plumes of black smoke from them and a few other cheap equipments. The airframe consists of lots of plastic.

I really don't want to use decoy missiles as it would encourage spam.

Still no on both accounts.

Edit: Martens and I were discussing the option of making this non-canon and fighting the aliens at the end... no decision is made but its something being kicked around.

Come on now, give us bystanders something to actually look forward to, instead of a fictional wishy-washy fanstasy!

I'm not going to spam the decoy aircraft. They're one-time use, which would force me to be conservative about them. I run out of decoy aicraft, I'm screwed, because my air force depends on them.

Many countries uninvolved will likely have lots to say about an escalating international conflict, yet we don’t want the war thread cluttered with reaction from various nonparticipating players- just one of many reasons it’s a closed topic.

I propose an in-character topic [i]about[/i] the World War where everyone can participate, this will (obviously) does not include third-party militarily intervention.

I'm still saying no to decoys. Its impossible for me to believe it would only cost 1000 bucks for an engine and for the remote systems that would be resistant to jamming. If you wanna have like 500 decoy drones thats fine and somewhat more believable.

Oh one more thing, if people could keep time stamps of their actions, try not to jump too much. I'd like to see a war which lasts two years of IC time minimum.

Actually, they're fire-and-forget as they're meant for stationary targets. Plot the course, launch the aircraft, and pray it doesn't blow up in your face. 500 decoy drones is way too small if their guidance systems (processor is a cheap cell-phone CPU) aren't advanced enough to land the drones to allow reusing.


Would it be acceptable if I reduce the amount of decoy squads per IG squad to 3000?

So this is supposed to be the far flung future of CNRP.. or now? I'm in need of clarity.

I'm fairly sure it's taking place present-day. Pretty much everyone uses different time. I use RL's date, other RPers use the date that their IG tech permits them.

Probably not for 1000$ or even 1000 or so of them, but the idea isn't meritless. An airframe is an airframe and CNRP if anything is awash in surplus aircraft of all sorts of makes and types from just about every tom dick and harry nation.

I will start ramping up my activity for this thread and probably get myself close to entering the conflict by the end of this weekend. Because of last weekend's unforeseen shenanigans, my activity was curtailed.

That being said, I'm probably not going to be around tomorrow (Friday), due to some commitments I must see to. But I should be around for the rest of the weekend and activity up to the usual snuff.

:awesome:

Martens, I think you forgot the disclaimer in your thread:

[quote]OOC: This thread is closed, the following players have volunteered to participate in this thread: Triyun, Centurius, Malatose, Kaiser Melech, Domingo, SirMichaelHarland, Markus Wilding, Curristan, Mogar, Dipster, KaiserMartens, Rauchen, AggressiveNugtmeg, Maelstrom Vortex, HHAYD, JED, Timmy, Shammy

All others may only enter or join by the ruling of the Author (me). Additionally if someone in the thread acts up I reserve the right to remove them and give control of their forces over to an ally. [/quote]

Or somethign along those lines; Because right now, "Upon the Sons of Odin" isn't a closed thread.
