The evil council continuation (Possible NSFW)

@MarauderPilot
OOC: Ok. Is there any range that would works actually?

@boz
OOC: Im not a expert on this. But on the wikipedia page for the Goalkeeper to use a relevant example, it mentions that if a intercept attempt was started against a russian supersonic ASM at a distance of, 1500meters i believe it would be estopped at 300.

With CWIS generally being the lat layer of defense after mid-range or long range sams fail. RIM-161s for example being listed as having a 2500km maximum range in the block IIA config depending on the target.

Where as the Goalkeeper is listed, bare in mind this is for missile intercept most likely and not, comparitvely, slow moving and large aircraft, of 350 meters to 1500 or 2000 meters depending on the ammo types.

For example, the maximum range of the Bofors 40mm L/70 is listed as 7’160 meters. THough it’s muzzle velocity is listed as being far higher than the 30mm rounds of the Goalkeeper.

@MarauderPilot
OOC: I guess I could always push the other side and go for 3500m. Cause Doc should have way to make a really high initial velocity.

But it’s late now and I need to wake early so I’ll see your next reply tomorrow. Night.

OOC: Hi.

OOC: Hey.

@MarauderPilot
OOC: How are you?

And what now?

@boz
OOC: Alright, you?

@MarauderPilot
OOC: Ok.

@boz
OOC: As to the other question, any preference?

OOC: Not really.

@boz
OOC: Wel, for here would that range be for the automatics or heavier pieces?

@MarauderPilot
OOC: Auto.

OOC: ALright, working on that.

@MarauderPilot
OOC: Ok.

Soon revealed to be a weapon as bolts of blue plasma start streaking through the sky towards the defenses, with a few arcing towards the tracks leading from the base. *

@MarauderPilot
* Some defense keep opening fire on you, to keep your attention, as the rest of the garrison take cover in the more fortified part of the fort and even bring some of the gun in there. Upon seeing you attacking the track, they also begun unloading a part of the train cargo. *

@boz
OOC: Any heavier weapons seen among them?

@MarauderPilot
OOC: Not really. Doc didn’t had anything else there back then. They’d have rocket launchers stolen from the donkeys this time but those are far from really good rockets and they wouldn’t have much of those.

@boz
OOC: OKay, i thought heavier weapons would havebeen a reasonable assumption if just for more, persistent creatures and grimm.

@MarauderPilot
OOC: I’m not even sure grimm were an issue back when the first battle there happened.

@boz
OOC: There are still things like tatzlwurms, potentially aggressive dragons, whatever unique creatures might be in the jungle and so on.

@MarauderPilot
OOC: Well for those case, the reinforcement I’m holding back for this scene would have showed up.

@boz
OOC: Okay, i would have to ask what the main threat would be meant to be then.

@MarauderPilot
OOC: It wouldn’t have very good chances at being effective if I told you. But mostly right now they wait for you to get close and fight within the fort structure itself. They gave up on defending their airspace.

@boz
OOC: What? This is a ground attack precisely because of the aerospace defenses, in order to destroy said defenses and allow for them to come in and help with the fighting and ideally retrevial of the regnite.
