HHAYD Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 (edited) Its because of the Denial-of-Access zone that is between the border and the rest of the fortifications. It is a smooth concrete paved area that slopes downward and are covered with burning slippery liquid. Anyone who attempts to march over the sloped area would constantly slide back down down, get fried extra cripsy, and are easy to be to shot at since there are no covers other than vehicles and dead bodies. Even if the border fortification was leveled, as long as the concrete slope area, storage tanks, and pumps are mostly intact, it would be impossible to march past it without airlifting. The border defenses aren't completed yet, and if they were, JED would be forced to RP much higher casualties. I also recall RPing a policy where any sufficiently large private or public buildings can be added with defense systems.

[/quote] The problem is even that is overdone, in my estimation...you realize just HOW MUCH CONCRETE that would be? Setting concrete takes time, and there's no way you could have finishes even that portion of it in the time you had. However, that's not the primary issue...it's the fact that your OTHER defenses are supposedly so effecitve at shooting down not only bombs but hypersonic missiles and artillery shells, which are darn near impossible to shoot down.

Sal Paradise Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 I posted in that thread RPing that that liquid is pure fantasy and doesn't exist. I was hoping that would prompt you to prove me wrong. Does this stuff exist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king of cochin Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 I have read of flaming oils being used in medieval warfare in defending sieges, but that seems to be a pretty stupid defense to employ in modern warfare. Any static defense can be defeated, especially a castle and moat structure like this, with ease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 1 mm thick of it will be used in area where the enemies are attempting to climb up the slopes and instead of being constant, it comes by waves set in a random 1-4 second period to keep the enemies at bay and guessing when to rush.
