If the interior of the ballon is made of many many many small compartments, and the skins of modestly armored material, it should take lots of hits.

@Voltus_Ventus

Maybe. But any type of balloon in a battlefield would be much, much less safe than a more conventional aircraft. It may not be entirely vulnerable, but not nearly as practical .

<Snipped quote by Willy Vereb>

The thing about this though is that amusingly everyone is forgetting the reason why people don't use airships for war:

You fire a cannon or a rocket at it, it pops, and your entire massive machine that you spent a billion dollars on falls out of the sky because there's no effective way to repair the breach and you can't put enough armor on it without weighing it down too much to move. You make the balloon bigger, you have to add more armor and you don't escape the same problem.

Airships should not be heavily armed for the simple reason that the more stuff you put on it, the more you lose when it gets destroyed. And how on earth could an airship support both an airstrip long enough to take off of and *checks character tab* 300 planes? Just seems a tad too unrealistic to me.

@Mihndar

That's why I'm not using airships :)

When all of you anti-climatically pop away, I'll just be smiling...mwuahahhaha

For once, I gotta agree with Willy. The tech is gonna be a bit "Schizo" because we're basically doing a WW2-type setting without the infamous "wake-up call" of WW1 when folks tried to run down tanks with horses. So we have the extra few decades of advancement, but the realization of how needed aircraft and updated weaponry is would not yet have hit everyone. This will mean some things are advanced by comparison (from those extra decades) but others are well behind (because there was no WW1 to kick things off).

The empty spots on the map are still bothering me, so I quickly "fixed" it :D

I feel like I want to claim the rest of my continent just to fill up the empty space.

@Mihndar

I almost feel the same. The empty space is annoyingly blank. "WHAT'S GOING ON THERE? WHO LIVES THERE? I MUST KNOW!"

"THERE CAN'T JUST BE A LARGE TERRITORY OF NOTHING!"

*Awkwardly looks to the side and whistles at the mention of claiming whole continents*

@Cyclone

Ya, I remember a RP where that had happened and the G.M. had left us. It was basically chaos as everyone suddenly realized they were woefully unprepared for the coming onslaught.

Working on a nation.

Nice to see that every island territory has been pilfered by some random international gigapower.

The colonialism and assholishness is real.

EDIT: You might want to ditch the WWII-era technology limit. With that I'm seeing in the CT, we're at the Korean War/Vietnam War stage of military technology.

@ASTA

There weren't really any islands to begin with, but if you want there is still room for at least 4 mainland nations. In some of the RPs I've been in someone would have claimed a whole continent for themselves by now.

What has been done here.

Also, since I am now the unofficial map custodian, Hael gets added tomorrow.

@Mihndar

Thanks. Although I already added myself to the updated version in my N.S. Just look at "Location and Geography". It's been updated.



Edit: that colony at the bottom-the frozen one- is MINE. I wanted to point that out because my colour resembles Yamatai's

It's far too late to stop now, Skepic...

Wait, what were we talking about again?
