@Ruger Oh why do you say that? Air power?

2018-11-28 19:52:43 UTC  

Ye

2018-11-28 19:52:49 UTC  

And mechs

2018-11-28 19:52:49 UTC  

Yeah makes sense.

2018-11-28 19:52:55 UTC  

Mostly because conflicts are becoming more insurgency surppression and soft power projection

2018-11-28 19:53:01 UTC  

aka where tanks aren't great

2018-11-28 19:53:02 UTC  

That's it

2018-11-28 19:53:06 UTC  

mechs are decades away at best

2018-11-28 19:53:07 UTC  

We ban aircraft

2018-11-28 19:53:11 UTC  

Ground combat vehicles will still be a thing, but the days of direct vehicle combat outside of guerilla/dirt-farmer environments is probably over, yeah

2018-11-28 19:53:12 UTC  

It's more of

2018-11-28 19:53:15 UTC  

Give them guns

2018-11-28 19:53:16 UTC  

Probably going to see more vehicles like the AJAX and Warriors replaxing MBTs.

2018-11-28 19:53:20 UTC  

And present it wasn't us

2018-11-28 19:53:32 UTC  

RICE IS DONE YES

2018-11-28 19:53:41 UTC  

It'll never be over, but you'll see a change more towards armored gun carries and armored cars than proper tanks

2018-11-28 19:53:41 UTC  

Especially when the era of railguns starts

2018-11-28 19:53:50 UTC  

Railguns are still really far out

2018-11-28 19:53:54 UTC  

On anything but navy ships

2018-11-28 19:53:56 UTC  

Yes lets all get ridbof our tanks.....laughs in russian.

2018-11-28 19:53:57 UTC  

Ye

2018-11-28 19:53:58 UTC  

I mean, it kind of has already.

2018-11-28 19:54:10 UTC  

25 MW per shot I'm pretty sure

2018-11-28 19:54:15 UTC  

Nah not really

2018-11-28 19:54:26 UTC  

Lol new Russian T14 with 152mm gun can literally shoot nukes

2018-11-28 19:54:34 UTC  

It won't be a discrete 'hey tanks are obslete now scrap em all' but a more of 'nah, we never use these things, just keep updating them for the next 40 years'

2018-11-28 19:54:35 UTC  

***bias***

2018-11-28 19:54:47 UTC  

Railguns destroy thier own barrels quite quickly and need a massive power supply.

2018-11-28 19:55:02 UTC  

railguns arent practical

2018-11-28 19:55:03 UTC  

Make emm coal powered

2018-11-28 19:55:04 UTC  

at all

2018-11-28 19:55:05 UTC  

The power supply and rail wear are the big issue

2018-11-28 19:55:09 UTC  

Best we got on land is like 2 or 3 semi trucks in size for a single railgun

2018-11-28 19:55:12 UTC  

I imagine we'll just relegate the Abrams in a similar way to how we use the A10. Shock and awe work-horse.

2018-11-28 19:55:23 UTC  

That is how it's used now tbh

2018-11-28 19:55:25 UTC  

one of the things fallout 3 did that was cool and good was using these things as the basis of an enclave super weapon

2018-11-28 19:55:28 UTC  

We need mechs

2018-11-28 19:55:29 UTC  

Plasma guns

2018-11-28 19:55:36 UTC  

Are a thing

2018-11-28 19:55:38 UTC  

Even then for such a big target a semi truck is really vulnerable
