OOC: Aaahhh. Reminds me of my first military equipment factbooks. In fact a number of the images are ones I can say I used in the past. (Ex: ALPHA-BUILD Mega-Battle Tank, Ballistic Observation Base (B.O.B.), Duel-Rod Evangelist Device (D.R.E.D.), ARDENT SEAS, 15th Generation "Revolutionary Battleship", "Rapture" Attack Helicopter, and Heavy-Hulled Combat Jet I have used those images all before. Faint memories now.) But I used those images a long time ago. A walk down memory lane. Back when I was a bit more focused on things "looking, big, cool, and badass" way back before I devoted myself to military realism and started the long switch over to more realistic, practical designs. Good job for your first military factbooks though. I'd recommend the military realism section of stuff in the Basic Regional Roleplay Rules, Guidelines, Terminology, & Etiquette dispatch as I just recently added some new links to some youtube videos which I found really helpful in teaching me about military realism and the importance of keeping practical stuff in mind like logistics and all that. You know if you want to keep going down the addictive military factbook rabbit hole like I have. lol. I've found them extremely helpful and I can say that my factbooks are actually close to being done. Which is a crazy thought since I thought they'd never truly be finished. Good job again though.

Oh yeah will ya look at that. I remember some of these. That big "tank", the russian Typhoon sub the other looks more like a Borei but a bit hard to tell, that helicopter and fighter. OLD stuff. Reminds me that I need to update my stuff. I do like the more practical and realistic route. Some more fantastical stuff here and there is nice dont get me wrong. I mean we all love fusion power and power armor I'm sure. Makes things easier when things need it for playing in NS.

For sure gonna update my stuff. Watched those linked videos before. Really does change how you think about it. Been thinking about using the Leopard 2 for the tank seeing as none of the other german-esque nations (Sovern, cough) seem to be using it. Although the Leopard 3 german/french hybrid is interesting. Not opposed to sharing tank designs like the irl leopard with some of the other german-esque nations if they ask (cough Sovern cough Volieks cough). Would be interesting and more realistic.

Question though Vostag. I applaud the realism of your military factbooks but how do you justify the landships? I mean your subterrene things I see you've updated to Tunnel Borers but the landships I'm just curious. Seeing as Tritra's new "tank" is an old image for a landship you've used before it just makes me curious.
