So when are you, RoC77, and I getting together to duke it out? My military isn't as advanced as either of you, but I think RoC77 and I against your Assyrians would be a fair fight.

Whenever you newbs buy plane tickets to Atlanta we'll have a fight.

@ Halan:
Your troop transport can't get your guys out of harm's way. This thing is super fast and will be able to shoot it down.

son of a bitch.....

I go MIA for a bit, then I comeback to face a GIANT mecha...... I have one main battle tank, 2 infantry fighting vehicles, 3 recon jeeps, & 3 transport trucks. With about 48 ground troops(not including the vehicle operators). I don't think that would be enough, but if I throw in my fighter wing and bomber, I think it would a pretty interesting fight. Or, I'm just going to have to shoot you your mech down with the railgun from my ASHIP.

But, I would rather keep the fight on the ground.... Too bad my merc's arn't ready yet, they only have 2 armored transports and that VTOL, I guess I'm going to need oneeye's help then. Until I make some more tanks, rocket launchers, and arty..... Damn you Natalya, I'm going to have to go to the lego store...... Damn you.....

BTW, that's a badass piece of machinery, great job so far, I can't wait to see it completed. I am really tempted to make one too, if I just had the time....... we could have a giant robo fight!!!!

I'll join you RoC77, we'll take down that Gundam.

We will have:

2 Main Battle Tanks
2 Infantry Fighting Vehicles
6 Recon Jeeps
3 Transports
72 Ground Troops

Against (excluding the giant ship Natalya has):

1 Armored Core
1 Main Battle Tank
1 Tank
1 Light Mecha
12 Commandos
30 Ground Troops

I've been working on my army a lot. I just finished my tank (which should be up soon).

I think this would be the best BrikWar ever if it happened.

I'd just go Sins of a Solar Empire on it and nuke the hell out of whatever planet it's on.

i've come to a realisation. MY ARMY CAN'T GET NEAR THAT!!!!! with that in mind i decided to kick of the arms race with the Juggernaught HMA (HEAVY MOBILE ARTILLERY)

The Juggernaught HMA is a Clip-Loaded Artillery piece. Each Clip carries 5 SUPER-ROUNDS. the gun may fire one round a turn untill the clip is exhausted. it may no longer firse untill the clip is replaced (this takes 2 turns and a special unit that i don't have yet. The artillery unit can unload 2 types of shells.
1. HE (High Explosive) good for EVERYTHING! as long as your targeting a single unit.
2. Scatter. this is a special round that fires upward and then splits into multiple grenade sized rounds, each round explodes on impact with the ground. while this doesn't affect vehicles as much it is devastating against infantry especially due to the larger area of effect of each shot.

Nuclear weapons kind of ruin the spirit of an arms race.

Umm, I have 30 Assyrian soldiers and 12 commandos. They also have that light mecha you would have seen in both my battle reports. And this thing is an Armoured Core, not a Dungam Mobil Fuku. Check the wiki for a detailed explanation of what an Armoured Core is and how it's different from a Dungam Mobil Fuku or an Evangelist Cyborg.

gladiator all tasker, can have its top switched from a turret with a heavy turret and a machine gun to armor destroying duel railguns, when it has the tank turret it can have 2 duel tracking missile pods.
it has a v10 engine with duel turbo to make up for its 10cm thick armor.

Dove pod attacker, the dove is a very small craft made in modules for easy and fast repair but due to its size its near imposible to hit, especialy with large guns that are ussally mounted on its targets, this is a awesome anti tank since not many tanks have light AA guns.

An impulse booster mounted on an asteroid, aimed at your planet. Damage - Falling Damage 10000000d6.

I decided you should have a modular head for this thing, then make a giant gun and have THAT be the head. Guns for heads are cool.

Post by **Natalya** » Tue Apr 07, 2009 12:54 am

Naa, I don't need a gun for a head. Especially when this is its main weapon:

Yes, that's right, the main gun is that monster right there. It's called the Karasawa 04-B and is essentially an insanely powerful laser rifle. But emphasis on rifle because unlike laser cannons this thing has a decent fire rate where the cool-down is only 0.6 seconds. This lets it hit more maneuverable targets. The energy canister holds enough charge for 70 shots. Once the energy canister is spent the AC can switch to use its own generator to power the Karasawa, but then it has to spend less time using the ion rocket boosters for sprinting and flying. However it can jettison the canister to save some weight. This is the second most powerful weapon I have built following the cannon on the Longinus cruiser.

Symmetry lets it balance quite nicely. ^^

@ RoC: You know you're screwed when your super tank is smaller than this gun. Your tank isn't much bigger than the Mars over here so I think it's safe to say that it won't stand a chance. One shot from this sucker would melt it into a burning puddle of slag.

Looking down the barrel. You see that the plates are slightly angled. This is because the wheels are too fat. But this isn't a bad thing. The gun was supposed to be like that and I was going to use another method to achieve this effect, but then by sheer coincidence the wheels made it happen by themselves, saving me a lot of work. The big side plates are supposed to be radiator panels in case you were wondering.

And finally, detail from what the pilot would see. They have a cool little display on the inside there just above the handle.

Despite how heavy it is, the gun can be held by one arm alone. The gears get all bent from the load, but the arm doesn't break which surprised me given how heavy it is. Nonetheless, it will have to be wielded with both hands. Fortunately it doubles as a shield due to its size so I don't have to worry about the left hand not being used.

So yea, how's that arms race coming guys?
