Tactics/Doctrine

[Newhalla]

So i wonder what are your nations Army,Navy and Air forces battle tactics/doctrine is. But also please include both advantages and disadvantages whit using these tactics/doctrine.

And no space stuff.

And please do not make your forces best in the world in all things.

[Avaerilon]

Exactly Newhalla, well said. :)

I think nations should not include anything to do with space here, since there already is a dedicated section of the forum for that, I think we should talk "real-world" militaries here.

Hm, would Avaerilon- or should we- tell other nations our general strengths and weaknesses with our tactics? I think this would be disadvantageous, to say the least, but we will happily tell other nations that Avaerilon, like other NATO signators, takes the greatest care to avoid placing civilians in any danger and operates under a strict code of honour, whereby enemy troops are treated with the same humanity and dignity we would like to be treated with.

[North American Republics]

As a NATO signator, we too take the greatest care to avoid placing citizens in any danger and enemy troops are dealt with humanity and dignity. That being said, we tend to focus more on special forces operations, which requires much deception. It is one reason why we specialize in intelligence gathering in NATO.

we have small but highly disciplined elite armies at our command, but will try to avoid using them, elite commandos in squads of four to six are our primarily used military unit, assassination and covert ops have always been our specialty. but the discipline, order, accuracy and command structure of our armies are are true strength.

[Newhalla]

Our defense force has specialized in surgical hit and run strikes where the enemy is weakest and stealthy get out before any resistance is organized. Although killing civilians is not prohibited the Hallan soldiers usually takes good care of any civilian in a war zone. The Hallan defense force also tries to keep the army somewhere in the middle of quality and quantity. Also additional Hallan faction armies make up the bulk of Hallan defense forces making it one of the largest in SLU. But the Newhallas best soldier comes from N-SIC Friskan operative divisions. These men have before Newhallas entering in SLU waged a secret war against various SLU nations.

As a member of the GSA, Or Grand Space Alliance, along with our Equum Alatum Brothers in Arms, our mainly high technology military has secretly been everything we know from the space kingdom of Z3LOT. They're military is better than the whole GSA Combined. we will post more soon.

Narg no space stuff here please.


You can make a similar thread in the space section.

The GF hates war. We believe that all wars are misunderstandings and prefer peaceful diplomacy and cooporation in place of armed conflict.

However, should the need arise, the GF is not undefended. After a national consortium on how to deal with violence, we realized that sending physical people to war is a great waste of their mental and physical ability.

We are heavy on electronic warfare, and love to use EMP bombs to disable all enemy activity within a region, seen in the blackacre conflict.. After disabled, we have multiple bases around our country that run fleets of UAV's and UGV's (Unmanned airial/ground vehicles) which launch coordinated blitzkrieg assaults across all possible fronts.

Our UAV's and UGV's have deflector technology developed that stops most incoming projectiles and electronic frequencies (Such as enemy EMP's and lasers) using several magnetic field generators, each attuned to a different chemical compound. Essentially, our vehicles are impervious to conventional ammunition fire, however sustained missile fire has shown to break through. To alleviate this, we have placed ECM, Chaff, and an anti-missile turret aboard all UV's to increase survivability.

Up until recently, we have taken the field generators and used them to move massive ships called M.A.B.'s, capable of carring hundreds of UV's and very destructive cannon weapons. They were a pinpoint to our national defense, and played key roles in regional peacekeeping, acting as moving armed bases, hence the name. However, a recent study has concluded that long term usage of these defelctors as a form of transportation is highly unreliable.

We are now creating a prototype of the replacement to the M.A.B. which will use a new propultion system. Large numbers of magnetic fields moving across the Earth has the potential to destabalize our own planetary magnetic field as well, something we must avoid at all costs, so generators used for transportation will be phased out, and focused on individual defense.

(All possible within the next 5-10 years, should a country focus on magnetism and unmanned combat, like mine, with my ridiculously high economy, education, and population recources)

Michutopia what about using mass accelerators cannons. N-SIC have a few designs of over 100m long cannons that projects a slug every 2 seconds. N-SIC believes that one shot is all that needs to take down a M.A.B.

[Deleted]

It's not jut space it's tech

While never tested, mass accelerators, as projectile weapons shooting large slugs of metal, would still have a hard time being able to breach deflectors on any of our vehicles, as the ammunition would simply transfer its energy into the magnetic shield and back into the ammunition, repelling it.

All "driver" based weapons are similar in design; it shoots a strong aerodynamic object with great force using a form of instant propultion, usually magnets, gunpowder, gas, or springs.

Our deflectors work against most incoming fire because they use a host of amplified magetic fields to repel the atomic structure of the incoming object with it's magnetic opposite, similar to if you drop a magnet on top of another magnet. This is also how it is used as a propultion system, going against the magnetic opposite of the ground below it.

Should you shoot a projectile with enough force however, such as your 100m long mass accelerator, which I assume is using a long line of super-magets to shoot a giannt metal slug down a very long barrel, it would hit the deflector, with much of the energy transfered around and back to the point of impact. Such a transfer of energy would cause anything inside the magnetic bubble (shield) to recieve a percentage of the force, causing extreme "turbulence".

No M.A.B. was ever shot down using pojectile weapon fire. During the blackacre invasion, which saw the first MAB's, thousands of enemies including AA turrets shot with no effect because they were using guns that shot metal bullets. However, simple barrages of missiles can cause lots of damage, as the shield does not work as well deflecting a large host of exploding gas. As a result, a large nuclear device set upon an M.A.B. will obliderate it just as it will everything else.

Deflectors are not a perfect technology, and my nation does not exist hundreds of years in the future, so we are still perfecting them to become "shields" that resemble force fields. As of now, they are simply magnetic fields surrounding our ships.

[Deleted]

what about Pegasien energy based weapons? since it is an energy shield for reflecting solid objects, an energy discharge could overload it.

[Deleted]

Aiming a high-powered electrical current at the shield would simply be absorbed into the magnetism, however as we see with sun flares and emp's adding too much current has the ability to fry fuses and overload electronics. You would need an extremely large amount of power to overload a magnetic field to the point of collapse though, far more than most of our enemies have had in their entire nations.

A combination of high powered electronic, projectile, and missile fire could bring an M.A.B. down quickly, but that kind of destructional power is similar to that of WMD levels.

Should we ever come across a base of electronic lasers capable of overloading and even melting our systems, we would most likely pound it with emp bombings beforehand.

(Remember, not space weapons, Earth based planetary conflict)

We all know what space battles look like, Mass Effect, Star Wars, etc.

[Deleted]

our weapons are based upon energy crystals and light energy, not electricity. As they are unaffected by magnetic fields, we believe your shields would prove useless or extremely ineffective.

[Deleted]

What exactly are energy crystals?
And I believe light energy is extremely innefective at causing any form of physical damage, no matter how concentrated. A flashlight is a flashlight no matter how bright the bulb.
And light is effected by magnetic fields, it's why we see the northern lights on Earth.

[Deleted]

the focused Laser beam or bolt is used to carry "bullets" of energy crystal to the target, meaning they travel close to the speed of light. the energy crystals are an element that comes in three varieties we know of and impart all forms of energy except nuclear and dimensional radiation in an explosion upon high speed contact with a solid object. Even if this is "space" its where our weapons come from, sorry.

[Deleted]

A very interesting form of transporting ammunition. These crystals though, are they atomic in size? Just creating a crystal with explosive properties capable of travelling the speed of light through a simple laser beam is hard to imagine, as light, even with a laser, doesn't have much "Carry" weight to it. Are you literally changing whatever the chemical compound of "light" might be to include these crystals?

[Deleted]

No, the crystals are a seperate element, bullet sized and we minaturized laser tech long ago. I can have a picture up soon of some of our firearms. we are in the process of developing a Rotary Cannon similar to that on our MKIII MPB Tanks that is man portable.
