bro just raise the radar bro the horizon will be further away bro totally time for countermeasures bro
Just make a hovering AWACS that can hold U2 elevation. Then the gunship could hit targets across the pacific.
ZEPPELINS ARE BACK BABY
Rigid frame airship.
The term “Zeppelin” makes people nervous. They think they’re made with lead.
Modern Zeppelin are semi-rigid 😛
And ribbed for her pleasure.
AC-5 Funship enters the chat
At that point it would be easier for it to be an orbital (intraplanetary?) platform, pic for reference https://files.catbox.moe/cejyk6.jpg
but then we wouldn’t be defeating the whining about water battleships and the horizon
Plenty of horizon in low orbit!
The Pagoda Mast was a good idea, but not tall enough. 40m? C’mon, with modern tech we can do 100m easy.
With the success of drones in Ukraine, I wonder if the future’s just going to be midget drone-mothership subs.
midget drone-mothership subs.
So is it a the mothership that’s a drone, or the midget subs? The latter would make more sense.
It would be a regular sized sub that’s a drone mothership, crewed entirely by midgets
Smart, you can fit an entire extra story inside that way. And they’re less likely to mutiny if HAL decides when they surface.
The subs contain lots of drones, but the subs are unmanned, making them drones, and they’re launched by a bigger mothership sub that’s also a drone. All manned by midgets pretending to be AI, of course.
But does it go “brrrrrrrrrrt” ?
KABOOM > brrrrrrrt
Plus the 16" guns can fire nuclear shells. It’s like the Davy Crockett’s big brother.
Wouldn’t you want the Explosive* payload be nuclear rather than the shell? Seems dangerous for the crew
Edited forgotten word to make it clearer
…what about a battleship with turret-catapult A10 float planes?..
Gets lasered out*
