Sorry, but that sounded... obvious

Meh, seeing you all go flying off in aircraft I'll just build a few hundred of these on my island.


I'd probably be the new target for the US

Your inferior weaponry is no match for my orbital "Nuke the Bastard" beam cannon operated directly from my Black Bird and my secret base in Yugo.
Save your prayers or beg for mercy before I push the button and turn your little island into molten slag. :devil:

Don't make me whip you

Your nuke would be blown out of the sky long before it would even enter range anyway

*hugs AWACS equipment and long range interceptor missiles*



Ow, and screw your blackbird. Good intel ownz all.

*goes to bribe every intelligence agency in the world*

Well I have the Krikkit ultra-bomb!

You know, that one that can destroy the universe.

60k tonnes! 40k tonnes more than the 20k tonne Invincible! thats 3 times as big as the invincible and bigger then the CDG


One will be called the Ark Royal as always, but the other one, well either Labour will be pc and call it the HMS Dildo, or HMS fat Black Lesbian Rights Campaigner....... HMS Vengance gets my vote.

The whole lot will be escorted by the new PAAMS type 45,

http://www.rnjobs.co.uk/static/pages/1973.html

That is however unless labour defence cuts get implemented and then we have 2 new carriers and PT boat to escort them.

As for buying the CDG? bwhahahahahahahahaahahahahaha that pos is a traversty of modern engineering. 6 billion quid over budget so slow a man o war can outpace it with no wind (put a submarine nuclear reactor in a full sized carrier = win!!!). Its flight deck/structural integrity is dubious as its been lenghtened about 4 times without strenghtening the hull.

in case you don't know, the CdG is a prototype
all the things you point out have long been corrected.
and what about that crap about the lafayette? since you obviously know a lot, mind to point me to serious sources? ( not some crappy IRC channel where rambo wannabees post their wishlists? ).
you're full of crap, you know.
next time you want to post to bash french stuff just to wash out your frustration for england not being able to make a good ship for the last twenty years, at least, come up with good arguments

[TrashMan]

Oh yeah...I'd take this little baby:


Class: Iowa Battleship

At: Philadelphia Naval Shipyard
Commissioned: 23 May 1943

Length: 887 feet, 7 inches  (270,40 m)
Beam: 108 feet, 1 inch  (32.87m)
Draft: 38 feet  (33m)
Displacement: 57,200 tons
Armament:
Nine 16"/50 caliber guns ( 460mm)
12 5"/38 caliber guns ( 120mm)
32 Tomahawk missile launchers;
16 Harpoon missile launchers; four 20 mm Phalanx Close-In Weapon System Gatling-type guns

[Petrarch of the VBB]

Well I'll take the other 3 Iowas then!

[Nico]

big guns are always cool

[Petrarch of the VBB]

Yeah, like The Paris Gun, or the 80cm Gustav.

I want one!

That's where you're wrong.

Big Bertha was a field howitzer, used on the Easter front to shell Russian fortifications. It was 420mm, and had a range of 9375m.
The Paris Gun, or "Kaiser Wilhelm Geschutz" was a 21cm railway gun.

[Nico]

dunno about that, but every old people I know ( including by grandfather for exemple ), called that gun the big bertha. actually, I bet all the big guns in france were called like that
my grandpa told me he could hear the thing firing from a hundred kilometers away ( altho that sounds dubious I confess ).

ad: I did a search on google ( grosse bertha ), and the few results that came were about the Paris gun, after all

According to my book it managed to fire on Paris from 75.8 miles away, which is 122km!

Who said anything about nukes? I was talking about my orbital molten slag making beam cannon. Especially made for you Dutch girls who are trying to take over the world. Oh and about bribing agencies, you can't bribe the YUIA. We will crack down your island before you even knew what hit you.

1). Guess again... You obviously don't know what Dutch ppl like me are capable of.
2). Ok, thats a wee bit too absurd.

You'll just have to find that out for yourself

[Flaser]

That's it!

Stop it all of you - this thread is about WHAT you would take to a Battlefield - ergo - no big bastard weapons of mass destuction in the sky - and is especially not about which nation deserves your scrutiny.

If anyone presses the issue any more I'll make sure Hungary strucks a deal with thou - which is no good:
-The Turkish sultans - beat us
-The Austrians beat us in 1848, though we had a lot of helpers
-The Monarchy was beat in WWI
-Germans in WWII
Luck just seems to avoid anyone who was on our side, so shut it before I make yours, ours as well.
Oh by the way Hugary just became part of the following:
-NATO
-EU
Hmm....

[Nico]

point well taken dude
