what is plasma anyway

the problem with irl plasma shields is that the stronger they are, the more opaque they are

superheated gas

its a state of matter

sounds lame

and pointless

basically ionized particles

superheated

@Extra Crispy what about ultrasonic imageing

Nuclear powered plasma shielded tanks

Dunno

just surround a tank in a turbopowerful plasma field and use ultrasound for creating a 3D map of the environment

though i cant imagine how FLIR and whatnot would work within a plasma field, probably wouldnt

sounds like a huge waste of energy

NUCLEAR

POWERED

so i guess a plasma shielded tank would have to give up optics for protection

you nigger

Who cares about optics when you literally cant be hurt

Nuclear powered plasma shielded tanks

didnt the US try nuclear powered tanks in the 50's

nuclear powered planes too

US tried nuclear powered everything

it might be, but the idea is more effective for shuttles in the deflection of radiation in space, where reactors are more readily at hand

nuclear radiators are too heavy for most mobile uses unless if its a big boat or something

why not just use lasers

lasers are unreliable

i know that planes couldnt handle the weight

and plasma is?

reliable

plasma isnt unreliable if you confine it

if it so much as gets foggy, the laser literally becomes ineffectual beyond an arm's reach

just keep the magnetism up and ur gud

Did you know that the M1 Abrams can run on kerosene?

It can run off almost any fuel

smokebombs are the ultimate countermeasure to laser weaponry

And jet fuel

yeah

its a jet turbine

plasma is extremely reliable if you can contain and control it, though otherwise it's kind of a waste of time unless you're using it for utilities such as plasma cutters
