Things I leaned about war from RotR, Fun Options

[Ubertoaster]

1. Infantrymen can survive being shot tens of times by tank cannons and rocket launchers, but a bite from a dog can kill them instantly.
2. A bunch of rebels can produce a nuclear engine under field conditions, without irradiating themselves or the crews.
3. Highly expensive US hovertech was reverse-engineered the very second a bunch of rebels stumbled into a destroyed American tank.
4. The most powerful long-range artillery China owns, has the range of just 3 city blocks.
5. A tankers' worst nightmare is being found by a mob armed with 100-year old AK rifles, Molotov cocktails and rocks.
6. China's main battle tank is almost 60 years old.
7. A garage-built tank in sufficient numbers (read 2) can defeat any advanced MBT in the world.

Contribute and have fun!

I learned that radiation looks like mustard and that air units have magical fuel lines that last forever unless their hoe base is destroyed.

Lets add a sin counter every after post okay?

1 A man with a knife can kill an assailant even if he is out of range

2 A train can kill an advance super heavy tank

3 Technically you need only one nuke to kill every thing else in a base but China decides to be a good guy and makes you need two or more to achieve results, I don't know if that's good or bad I'm here playing and I want too see some destruction, seriously my psychology boner is now confused

4 Toxins has to have to be tinted color green or blue to show you it's deadly

5 Nerve gas the one of the most dangerous gases ever created is tinted with bright orange to remind you that smoking can kill you

6 A super secret agent/hacker trained by the military has no means of protecting herself. She's Chinese, couldn't she have learned kung fu or something?

(Current Sins: 22)

[Serialkillerwhal...]

1: The WASP hive can produce heavily-armed wardrones for free, but a welder and a peashooter attached to a rotor is going to cost you.
2: Putting a man with a stinger missile in a truck massively boosts his damage output and makes him unable to shoot any way but up.
3: All rangers are equipped with long-range teleporter pads to transport captured infantry to the Detention Center
4: Every army tells the conscripts what their special ops soldiers are doing
5: Co-axial machine guns are out-gunned by a markov pistol.
6: Cutting the power lines on a nuclear missile silo dumps all the fuel out of the missile.
7: Superweapon operation crews apparently post their location on facebook with "We fueling up a nuke nao ^.^
8: Every American vehicle is crewed by one man in a Pilot's suit that changes voices based on the vehicle he's in.
9: Only the best generals are granted access to a big pile of empty outdated tanks.
10: You can fit 10 soldiers inside a guard tower and have them all fire out the same window.

Here is what i learned:

- an old truck from scrapyard can change into a shiny Overlord in only 1 second, it just needs to take a look at it. Megatron, I hear you calling!
- In Murica, only SEALS learn how to swim.
- Terrorists have undermined the whole earth. You just need to build an entrance to get connected to their tunnel network.
- Soldiers and vehicle-drivers visit special trainings to have their voices equalized with every other soldier of the same profession.

1. If a tank sits some time into an irradiated zone or an infected with biological agents zone it will explode
2. Only Chinese grunts are issued with bayonets
3. Suppression fire can only be done with a SVD sniper rifle.
4. To highjack a tank one doesn't need a weapon; crewmen are sitting ducks
5. Fortress Europe extends to China, north America, Africa and the middle East.
6. American cargo planes are protected by the Geneva convention.
7. Despite the sheer size of the tunnel network conceived by the GLA, it can shelter no more than 10 soldiers.
8. Everyone saw/read Stephen King's "The Mist" and will shoot gray smoke on sight.
9. Reloading the S-300's 4 aircraft-sized missiles takes seconds.
10. ICBMs more or less have the same range as European howitzers.

[Shiro]

1. GLA tunnel networks house only up to 10 soldiers... on the other hand, 10 vehicles are also completely fine, no matter how mind-boogingly big they are.
2. If you inhale poisons, chemicals or are affected by radiation, you start glowing in exactly that hazard's colour of choice. Unless it's microwave radiation, which makes you explode into bloody chunks.
3. Bazookas and demo charges are the best friend of silenced rifles.
4. No matter how many shots you landed already, you'll never run out of ammo, except when you pilot a plane not Made in Europe ™.
5. Even the most sophisticated of stealth technology is useless against a Conscript with IR googles. Conversely, camouflage clothing and camonets are just as effective as anything else.
6. If you run around with a portable gatling gun or missile launcher, you need 2 additional crew members. Moving around with a miniature nuclear rocket artillery or a grenade-launcher machine gun doesn't require you to get any help.
7. Aforementioned grenade-launcher machinegun can also be mounted on top of a vehicle simply by entering it, the rest happens completely automatically.
8. Aforementioned weapon mounting also works with motor bikes but only if you are a licensed terrorist.
9. Sabotaging the power of an enemy army's battalion and then quickly defeating it confuses the hell out of said army so much, all their operations fail at connecting the power grids until they completely restart their infrastructure.
10. AI voices in the 2040s are completely inferior to a Japanese virtual pop-star from the 2000s.

[Serialkillerwhal...]

I'm pretty sure the HK drone sounds like that because the guy who programmed it WANTS it to sound like that.

I mean, damn, that unit is stuffed full of references that work best if it sounds like that. Maybe the programmer had a sense of humor?

[__CrUsHeR]

1. Some explosions do not cause 'friendly fire' (even tons of explosive).
2. Drones are a real danger to humans in a war.
3. No system is safe from hackers (even a simple automobile of the 60-70 years).
4. The theory of gravity is not an absolute truth.

[Baneblade]

US and chinese army have finally found out it was dangerous firing rockets through the windows of their car, though GLA tunnel defenders still do from bikes and buses and it does not seem to agree with them.

[Karpet]

1. Men with Davy Crocketts can fire their nuclear mortars in a range of a city block... and survive.
2. It takes only 5000$ to purchase a top-secret Solaris relay, a Tremor AGAS, or even a Nuclear Missile Silo.
3. Faction commandoes can be trained in merely seconds, and complex vehicles too!
4. Silencers reduce the effectiveness of sniper rifle rounds.
5. Using just pliers, Frank Jaeger can disable many buildings, including superweapons and power plants.
6. Stinger missiles can be used on any target, whether it be infantry, tanks, or even buildings.
7. Hackers generate the Chinese economy.
8. When exposed to tear gas, vehicles and soldiers turn red.
9. Neutron explosions are, more or less, the size of a mansion.
10. Planes fly merely a few dozen meters in the air.

[The_Hunter]

6. Stinger missiles can be used on any target, whether it be infantry, tanks, or even buildings.

This is actualy no longer true
Any shape or form of stinger missiles are now purely anti air.

Stinger site soldiers actualy have a different type of launcher they use exclusively against ground targets.

Is it just some generic unidentified launcher, or something like an RPG?

[SiR Chaff]

1. AT Drones are more resilient to tank guns than bullets.
2. Missile Defenders fire phase-shifting missiles that pass through a barracks.
3. A bridge can handle multiple super-heavy tanks without collapsing.
4. Infantry dont take cover behind obstacles, they just take enemy fire with their own bodies.
5. An single Engineer can repair the most damaged buildings just by deploying his laptop.
6. The GLA still relies on "dispensable" Workers to carry supplies.
7. GLA has mastered the art of teleportation before any of the technological superpowers that can build space lazors, solar deathrays, and alien-tech surveillance jamming technology could. ( Eldar predecessor anyone ? )
8. China uses flak weaponry in the 2040s.
9. You can spam million-dollar Tomahawk missiles without breaking the US economy.
10. Spectre Gunships are much faster than the B-1 Lancer and B-2 Spirit strategic bombers.
11. An bald American soldier in his 50s can still climb cliffs, plant multiple explosives, stab idiot infantry in front of him, and outrange base defenses with his grenade launcher.

[Svea Rike]

10. Spectre Gunships are much faster than the B-1 Lancer and B-2 Spirit strategic bombers.

I'm pretty sure that's apparent. Have you not seen their big-ass engines?!

[Serialkillerwhal...]

1: Spectre gunships do not give everyone in a mile chest hair or mustaches despite their overflowing awesomeness.

[Shiro]

1. The greatest mind of his generation cannot make his lightning guns jump from target to target.
2. However, a device build IN A CAVE WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS can.
3. Beer crates make excellent drone bodies, who knew?

[Joe Kidd]

^ I see what you did there

Here's mine: Massive Scud missile complex with 9 long range missiles takes only 5 minutes to prepare and fuel for launch and does not require any electricity whatsoever, also the rockets dont actually contain anthrax warheads, they just spray the stuff on them during the launch sequence.

*Ding*

1. The ECA's most powerful artillery batteries can't reach more than one click.
2. An ex-retired colonel in the US Army has so tight muscles he doesn't even need body armor.
3. All computer hackers in China works for the PLA.
4. Modern European military uses blue camouflage for no reason other than to look cool.
5. In comparison, the Americans don't even bother to paint their vehicles after assembly.*
6. A-10 Warthogs fly slower than helicopters and drop their entire payload on a single target. Times three.
7. Flak cannons can reliably take out modern multi-million dollar stealth fighter jets.
8. The ECA's most potent anti-air weapon was developed from a microwave oven.
9. The GLA is not defeated in a fight until their absolutely useless Command Truck is destroyed.
10. GLA amushes are more effective than professional American or Russian airborne raids.
11. A modern, ultra-powerful satellite delivery railgun is not powerful enough to fling a neutron bomb barely fifty meters.
12. Every Manticore driver is a professional Arnold Schwarzenegger impersonator. PLOT TWIST: It is an undead Arnold Schwarzenegger zombie clone piloting every Manticore!!



*In hindsight that kinda makes sense; if the vehicles are assembled on-site in War Factories they're not gonna waste time painting them.

[Sanguivorant]

Some amateurs in a truck with stinger missiles can take down jets.

Is there any proof in real life of this happening?

[ZunZero97]

1.You need 15 missiles of portable missile launhers to kill an infantry
2.Need at least 20 tank shells $600 to kill an infantry of $50
3.You can send an airplane called MOAB in two clicks and KABOOM!
4.Colonel Burton delay 3-5 seconds to plant an bomb and destroy the building, also big buildings
