uhhm no, sweaty

How is this weapons related?
Evan Bailey
What would be the purpose of an unarmed power station that moves at ~4km/h?
bottom left of the OP pic is a naval railgun btw
Angel Peterson
They built specialized roads for that.
Jayden Thompson
it's a gravel track made with softened edge gravel pieces to increase the lifetime of the track-shoes.
Baggers crawl on unprepared dirt and clay. Crushing its own road as it travels
Hudson Edwards
What are conventional munitions i.e. artillery.
Hunter Bailey
*brrrt*
realtalk:
the largest howitzer in any armed forces today is the 155 mm, the 155mm would barely leave a scratch in battleship plating of last century, let alone 2m of depleted uranium, water, and spaced armor.

Yeaj, no. The track was graded and compacted prior to its first use. If they hadn't built the roads it would have sank deep into the soft wet Florida earth
Jose Wright
Nice try, Armchair Admiral. Modern warships have minimal armor, hull thickness is intentionally thin to improve the chances of over penetration of AShMs.

What does ships have to do with an over armoured land crawler?
Aiden Brown
the purpose of the nuclear reactor is as a drive system AND powering an array of lasers. The athena laser (pictured second in the thread) could be placed in an array of over 1 thousand units with just the power of a conventional carrier reactor.
Missiles lose to lasers m79
>track was graded and compacted prior to its first use
it has a lower groundpressure than bagger, bagger was just shown to you driving on loose soil. Compacting the nasa track was perhaps necessary, but moreso to remove the chance of an unexpected tilt with its massive top-heavy platform mounted while it climbs the 5 degree slope.

If all cargo ships were nuclear we'd have a massive drop in fuel and shipping prices.
Too much red tape to have civilians operating reactors all over the world with minimal oversight though.
Will fission power ever be able to achieve a 1.0 thrust to weight ratio?
Thomas Cruz
yeah but except this time instead of wondering what kind of hardware to bring they'd begin evacuation so they can try and nuke you.
Christopher Phillips
surpass metal gear ?
Ryder Russell
Damn, that .jpg actually withstood that hit. A .png would probably have a hole through it.
Angel Evans
on a side note I can't recall what the actual plating thickness was between ~25 - ~32inches IIRC
Colton Williams
>believing american propaganda
just like they said that they intercepted an icbm off of hawaii only to learn that the missile didnt even reacher 200km of altitude conviniently so that the sm could reach it
Dylan Edwards
Lasers are real and the only limiting factors in their battlefield capabilities today are size and energy.
take it to /x/ if you want to discuss your flat-earth tier shite

Russia is doing that right now...

>lasers are real
did anyone even remotely said that they werent real?
plus as showed
yal 1 in order to have a kill count it had to be within 150radius of the target hence why its effectiveness pretty much died

Defeated by counterbattery fire.
Logan Thompson
That was done with a >10" gun. 155mm guns are about 6"

Fuck off to /b/, kid.

that picture is from the USS california after pearl harbor, this damage was from a torpedo

Member 'Hayduke Lives' where the whole plot of the book is to destroy a giant walking dragline earthmover?

Yeah OP I too enjoyed the BOLO universe books when I was a kid
