Veteran Atreides troops

[jacobdouds]

We have many advanced technologys that make units last longer.

[House_Corrino]

Like mortars with titanium heads, I'm guessing.

[Sardauker-Kirov]

Isnt Titanium not a Obselete metal in the future?

Besides, A Sniper bullet can easily penetrate Titanium. If you study the Kinetic force of a Bullet hitting upon the metal.  ;D

[House_Corrino]

Are you suggeting a sniper bullet can penetrate tank armor?

[Sardauker-Kirov]

Not exactly. Besides they are made of metal. I think.

It also Depends on the Thickness of the Metal.

If you take the Tiger Tanks of the Germans, That tank is the ultimate tank.

[House_Corrino]

Anyways, titanium is stronger than steel.

[Dezertfish]

Not by much (if at all)

The main advantage of titanium over steel is that it weighs less.

[jacobdouds]

The american M-2 can survive a nuclear blast. The people inside die but the tank doesn't.

[Ligic_Tha_Master]

Surviving at its worst ;D

[jacobdouds]

But still surviving.

[Ligic_Tha_Master]

Unfortunately.

[jacobdouds]

But the M-2 would be a great tank to have in E:BFD. If it gets deathhanded, you just have to wait for the radiation to wear off. Then send some light infantry into it like an APC and you can use it again.

[Ligic_Tha_Master]

Ghosty and Edric O could add that to their mod :D

[jacobdouds]

How? That would be a lot more complicated to make a Assault tank apc like that only works with infantry and can not be killed by Deathhand. Plus it would be unfair, as it would be almost impossible to die.

[Ligic_Tha_Master]

What do you mean, "almost impossible to kill"?

[jacobdouds]

The M-2 can survive a nuke. Therefore, other units won't have much of a chance against it.

[Caid Ivik]

Ha, that's only stupid American propaganda! It can survive a nuclear blast (2 km from epicentre, 200 kt warhead), but what about some good old 125 mm Spirals with uranium warhead? Hmm, good old days of Cold War.

Also I suppose to believe for infantry power of Sardaukars. Also, Kindjals on 2nd level have nearly doubled range!

[Dezertfish]

don't nuclear weapons destroy things on an atomic scale? :-/

[Black_Emperor]

nuclear weapons only hurt things by the exploding sharpnel and heat. Then after that, Poisons the surrounding area with high doses radiation

[Fremen_Mentat]

Hi. I was FremenEmporer, who started this topic. It's amazing. Though my question has been answered, you kepp discussing it. thats neat. thank you.

[sneezer3]

don't nuclear weapons destroy things on an atomic scale? :-/

yes. but if WW had made the hark super weapon like that. LOL ever1 would be playin hark. if superweapons where on!  8)

[Black_Emperor]

hark's death hand would literally nuke everything

[Dezertfish]

[Fisher's plain]

(Atreides and hark fighting in a skirmish)

Death hand launch detected

(Atreides use Hawk Strike on themselves)

No more Harkonnen/Atreides?Fisher's Plain

Sound about right?

[Caid Ivik]

don't nuclear weapons destroy things on an atomic scale? :-/

What's an atomic scale?

[Timenn]

Actually, it is a scale from 1 : 10^21, sort like.

But isn't this topic about veteran Atreides Troops?
