[Scarapis]

You guys. I just counted and I have 800 minifigs.

because it's funny

everyone running around going "aww man, look at my sweet feces!"

He He I get it now and it is funny in that context.

Awesome army Brickviller, but god, so much unnecessary drama going on in this thread.

Otherwise, it's just a larger, more expensive tank, so it wouldn't be worth the cost.

Air units indeed have weaker armour. One advantage of air units though is they get a lot of + range because of their height advantage so they could easily stay outside the tank's range while being able to fire on it given the right weapons. Not to mention how they could get behind an unsupported tank division without too much trouble. A lot of infantry might not be able to hit them (unless they get dangerously close, by which time support could shred them) if they fly high enough and generally tank's main weapons can't aim high enough to hit them. Of course, nothing works well without support.

Fair enough, but the Katana is a rather large target, and it doesn't have an truly spectacular armaments to justify it's hugeness.
A smaller helicopter would work better for that role in my opinion.

I'm positive you already said that at one point... The post might have disappeared with the others, or maybe I'm just forgetful. Suffice to say it's just a choice between speed and durability (being larger means it can also take more damage) you have to make, either could work well depending on the opposition. With two propellers it's still going to be pretty fast though and I'm positive something called an 'anti-tank' missile would be quite spectacular, especially when there's 8 of them. The deal with these things is simply if you have them, you force the enemy to have some heavy anti-air defences or they're going to have a hell of a time taking it down. It could dominate the battlefield if there's nothing to oppose it. Coincidentally, stuff like the tanks would be good at taking down the things that could take down the Katana, which is exactly why I think they would work together so well.

Yeah, it got deleted because of the comment about Mongooses and Lederhosen.

Still though, it be super expensive to field and Brickville said he would never build the thing anyways, so it's a moot point.

I don't think the CP cost of his army is something Brickviller is worried about when I look at his creations And rightfully so.
