Except me. I'm just a 16 year old, with (broken) ambitions to join the military.

The thing to consider with those is the space you take up with ammo and ammo tins, which could very well internally be taken up with another O2 or entonox bottle, or a med bergan, or more disposables like dressings. GMG ammunition takes up some serious room especially, and stacking it up on the outside isn't always the best solution.
I suppose the lack of humanitarian customs in NS boils down to every war being written between two sides with the best of equipment, CBRN and vast armies, at which point attrition warfare throws all morality out the window in the sake of the military struggle. IRL The hope to reduce human suffering in war has kinda gone out of the window when you have some sides pushing for ridiculous concessions (ie singing kumbaya and holding hands will
defeat Daesh), and other sides who see terror and breach of these customs AS their force multiplier (ie Hamas ticking just about every box whilst somehow managing to get support from the previous group). I do recall a meeting I had with a chap from the ICRC who admitted that Geneva conventions and just about every other treaty would not have been agreed on in this day and age, ditto with many human right treaties.
I'll probably pop by your storefront and have a look at the ambulances, see if I can weigh in ;)

It's not uncommon to use a machine gun, HMG, or a grenade launcher to defend against enemy infantry. I mean, they're used against them all the time on a large number of carriers lol. And that is just all optional stuff. There's nothing stopping a user from not having any guns on-board. Personally I use some of the listed stuff but with reduced storage so I can indeed carry more medical supplies and such. The only reason for having the weapon system in the first place is to defend the medic vehicle and personnel while gathering the wounded and such - not to attack a big attack horde of black bears. And FYI I use my own made 14.5mm HMG, not .50 BMG :P

Yeah ;). That is why I recommended Dienstad.

Cuscy, IIRC, you're in the Polish paramilitary, right?

Meanwhile...
Morrdh, please get Cuscy and Aeyariss their own homes in the map. Oh-and I'm gonna replace Esalonia with Palmyrion on the map.

Mokastana, please give Aeyariss a welcome basket.

Definitely a place where I can hang out a bit longer compared to all failed Region, like Atl...nevermind.

Were you actually in the Foreign Legion or just bsing?

Before I joined the Marines I went through a pretty bad time. Rather not talk about what, necessarily, but as they say there are a large group of Legionnaires who genuinely need to be there, and I really had no where else to turn. So I took a train from Glasgow to Paris and went to the Preselection Center at Fontenay-sous-Bois. I stayed there for two nights until thinking better of it and I was able to resolve my problem.

Did someone need a welcome basket?

Mokastana wrote:Did someone need a welcome basket?

Yeah. Greet my good friend with salt and bread, like it used to be here in the old times. Or with Vodka or wine as it is now ;).

Noted, probably next week since the recent arrival of my firstborn and the fact that he and his mother finally came home last night.

I suggest that Nihon gets a landmass shaped like Japan, while Aey...Aey what do you want for a landmass here in GD?

Sure, surprise me.

Not sure if you guys using RP capped pop or NS stat, but grant me enough for 244 million people.

We're quite laid back when it comes to population number, alot of us use the NS stat IIRC.

Post self-deleted by Aeyariss.

Ah, then enough for 13 bil?

We don't care if you pop cap or not, but I do.

I RP my nation's population as if it will be stable for the next 50 years.

BTW what's your nationality, Aey? It might help in getting you a spot on GD's map.

We are of the same family... We rule from behind the shadows... One is ruling over the right, second is conquering the left now, so we may divide and conquer II....

Really ;)?

Well the Force is unbalance to the Right now. Centrist is falling apart. Left is almost non existent. The left are like young padawans and I have every intention to turn them into capable Sith Lords capable of fighting under my envisioned RP Environment of using that Super Realistic Path. One day...but since not many will be able to fight the way I wish, I guess I'll have to settle with what I have.

Malaysian here, btw.

Aeyariss wrote:Malaysian here, btw.

Morrdh! Get Aey an archipelago similar to Malaysia in the map?

Meanwhile I'm a centrist...

And there will be day when there will be no more jedi or Sith... and the force will be extinguished forever...

Thus says General Grievious of SACTO ;).

I am sick of all those "gay wars" and wars just because one's ideology disagrees with ideology of another. Thus I am trying to enrich II by introducing common geopolitical concepts into it, while retaining the RPs being fun. My new RP, Kastavania, will be an example of those.

Keep me posted.

HMGs and GMGs tend to be used as support weapons during an operation, on top of the small arms fire provided by the combat formations, with infantry at least. Unless you've got GMGs with bipods ;) The point I make is threefold really - firstly that the power of the weapon is excessive for its effect (you want to suppress; defeat or destroy is not the job of medical staff). Secondly that the support nature of the weapon means that it is wasted on the medical vehicle, and that having it encourages the use of medical transports as support for combat ops. Not self defence, where you only need to suppress till you are out of the area. And finally, the threat posed by the weapon systems is greater, encouraging attack on said vehicles by an opponent (ie shoot the big ones first).

I'm not going to argue with the established points however. As far as NS goes you might as well
have tanks with 180mm guns ;) so in the meantime you might as well stick to your guns ;)
