Does gravity count as AA defense? Because...that's mainly what I have

@Hael

Magic doesn't count as AA defense in this RP, so the answer is likely no.
You seem to have plenty of explody developments and probably you use RDX for practically anything so that can kinda work.

RDX has the RE factor of 1.6 and weighs 1.1 times more.
So it effectively has 1.76 times more explosions packed into it than TNT.
That's over 20% bigger explosions!

@Willy Vereb The Iron Ring is more than just a simple defensive perimeter around the core of Eisenkreis, however, in that it is in some places literally a ring of iron meant to keep the world out of Eisenkreis. Flakk batteries line battlements around the border to cover possible gaps, and highly accurate radar stations watch for anything and everything on approach. This is a nation steeped in deep paranoia regarding the rest of the world, and their religion only perpetuates this almost genetic trait. To them, you all seek to conquer them and destroy their heritage, and so that is why they simply cannot waver in their determination. Kzechverin on the other hand, well... Csilla loves visitors and has never been one to turn down a guest. Not to mention that their military only became armed with rifles in the last century, and was still using spear and plate.

@Alfhedil

And how a "ring of iron" is supposed to keep aircrafts away?
They can be paranoiac all they want. It doesn't change the fact that in WW2 there's no such thing as absolute AA defense.

@Willy VerebMate, I'm out of this RP at least for now so I'm hardcore lurking. Feel free to change the color of Yamatai to whatever as long as it seems "asian" lol

If this RP is still active in a few months, I might have Yamatai make a big comeback on to the world stage, but as of right now, its isolated itself from the rest of the world and whatever invasions have been repelled/no one found a good enough excuse to actually invade it.

@ClocktowerEchos

I am aware you are currently out of this RP but I asked you about it out of common courtesy.
Alright, then:

<Snipped quote by Willy Vereb>

I can change it to whatever you want, I was just running out of differentiable colors.

Got it.

@Cyclone Indeed.

@Mihndar

You still have plenty of different colors to use.
Clear Yellow (not the green-dirted version for Tiqsimuyu), albeit that raises the same issue as they also have contested territories.
Pink (a very Japanese color)
Deep/Dark Purple
Khaki
Brown
And so on...

Alternatively you can color me back to sky blue. That matches the color of my heraldry background anyways.
Of course with white/silver letters.

LP-39 Celes SMG

This is going to be my standard SMG. Uses 7.65x19mm full mithril jacket bullets with each weighing only 1.7 grams each. The light bullets allow faster velocity and range but at the expense of some stopping power or penetration even compared to the 9mm bullets. The high velocity also requires a longer barrel and hence the SMG's design.

@MihndarOn second thought because Yamatai uses that cyan color I may need to change my color scheme.
Either that or ask @ClocktowerEchos if he wants to change it (given if you didn't choose this color on your own).
Also the letters for the Heavenly Empire should be white or silver, that's more representative and also easier on the eyes.

I'm cutting a bit more out of Tin, but keep in mind a lot of Tin and a lot of the northern nations is useless tundra, whereas you're near the equator and have a much higher percentage of usable land.

@Mihndar

Only the very apex of Tin could be having tundra-like conditions. And even that is seriously debatable.
The rest are desert, mediterranean/tropical or moderate climates.

And I am that blue/cyan amoeba in the center, with vestiges in all directions.
It's funny how at first I imagined mine to be a "small" country.

The Sun Will Never Set (A Statisticless NRP)(It had a good run)

Sure. I'll just copy the code.

@Mihndar

The blue one is probably a bit too close to Ventium's color so the cyan one will be probably preferable.

The Sun Will Never Set (A Statisticless NRP)(It had a good run)

@MihndarOn a different note, can we get to pick our nation's color?
I either choose the blue in my signature or this cyan green one.

<Snipped quote by Willy Vereb>

Fair enough, but it's still a decent defense for the tech we're using. And besides, I imagine not everyone would risk those odds if it wasn't a really dire situation.

@Hael

Yup, enough for a deterrent and percentages are a bit better if the air forces stay longer (unlike the V-1 which is pretty much a suicide bomb).
Kamikaze pilots against naval ships also suffered huge loses so the interception isn't particularly bad when somebody steers the vehicle straight for the AA defenses.

But well, after the invention of the atomic bomb nations literally could no longer allow even a single aircraft or cruise missile to pass through.
Seriously, imagine these percentages if the V1s were armed with something like the W7 nuclear warhead. London and most of Britain's important cities would've been history.
