Going for broke doesn't quite begin to cover it.

Fun part is when a single ASM hits one of the exposed VLS batteries, sets off sympathetic detonations all over the ship, and the whole ship goes up in a fireball that rivals the Tsar Bomba explosion.

Why build that when you could just buy a few Trident missile submarines?

What's really sad is that I can still tell where the "artist" cut, pasted and warped sections of other ships (such as most of the superstructure being from a Kirov).

On the other hand, in a game like NationStates this would be an incredibly awesome ship to have.

:o

Now you are making want to find somebody useing one of those monstrosities in an RP, and take my own navy in against them. I would love to see how they would try and godmod themselves out of a full salvo of NSM targeted on them. :lol:

Why haven't you started RPing on Statesmanship instead??!

:oops:

Still trying to work out what I want my nation to be like. I have 2 trains of thought on this:

A.) Just do a direct transfer of my Grays Harbor nation

-or-

B.) Build a new nation I've had in the back of my mind for awhile now, an alternate history where the 1840's independence movement in the Oregon Country (roughly the territory now covered by British Columbia/Washington/Oregon/Idaho) succeeded.

That and I've been pretty busy at work, 6 days a week right now.

Super-mega-ultra-monster-big ships like this have one problem: unless they are filled up with fire control computers, they couldn't manage to track the number of inbounds they are bound to attract. For $250 BILLION, I could easily afford HUNDREDS more conventional launch platforms... like some Perry class ships, or even Burke clones. We'll say that we use the Burke spam, cause they are more expensive per unit.

Ok, that's $1.843 billion per copy for a FU2011/12 purchase.
We'll make it an even $2 billion to account for development.
This gives me 125 Burke clones with which to attack his single ship.
We'll say that there are an even 20 Harpoons aboard each Burke.
That is only TWENTY FIVE HUNDRED anti-ship missiles inbound- on more vessels than he can conveniently track!

Now, let's go with something FAR more fun... the new Russian Amur class boats would only be $100 Million per copy; and these boats have 10 VLS missile tubes with BhraMos missiles! That gives us TWENTY FIVE HUNDRED individual boats, launching TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND BhraMos missiles against this idiotic thing... which has NO HOPE of hiding. How much computing power would you need to track 25,000 inbounds? How many external sensors?

NS people are idiots.
Bigger ain't better.
