ZGMF Week 10 - 9th Fleet Reorganization (Tuesday)

Here's a preliminary outline of what each player (in alphabetical order) who needs to send new stuff in Monday would have to submit for the plan to go through. Please take a look-see, to make sure I didn't miss anything, and then I'll add it to its own independent post so nobody overlooks it.

As stated before, we could/probably should purchase a few more MS for the fleets. 4th, especially, since it'll have fewer MS aboard for protection on Tuesday since Persephone and Noelle are exiting Stilva. They can always reboard Stilva Tuesday (I imagine aircraft losses will be significant enough that the extra slots will open up to bring them in), but better safe than sorry.

If we do purchase additional MS, I believe we should shoot for Doms if at all possible. According to their individual shop page, they don't suffer severe penalties in arctic climates. So if we plan to move against New Amsterdam at any point, they're a worthwhile investment.

I should note -- I realize some of these purchase are not glamorous, but will still be expensive. Anything added to MS teams in this plan can be transferred back to ships, once we return to North America, and a new thread will be going up soon asking people what they ultimately want for their MS teams. That way, with the massive purchases we'll be making in the coming weeks, we can start getting people the real units they want for their teams.

EDIT: Going back over my original post from the officers' board, it looks like there aren't Doms in the 5th Fleet. Not really an issue, considering the high VP our NPCs possess. But if we're worried, wouldn't hurt to get them another MS or two.

Yep, yep.

I was wondering if instead we could have Swiss Miss join the 4th Invincible and have Sammy join the 5th Invincible.

Well, all I have is my main cannon and the zaku machine gun when I "transform". I mean, most of my ammunition for my main cannon is high explosive, two are armor piercing (one of which is the APFSDS that I spoke about). I mean, I don't think it will really matter too much. If you get hit by that cannon, you're hit hard.

The APFSDS is a highly penetrating small projectile, when it penetrates the armor it melts away the armor plating and it causes spray and explosion kind of effect. So liquid metal and burning goop all the way through the medea. I say go for it since it's you best bet for long range target acquisition I think.



It'd create something much like this on contact, with the spray being molten hot with an explosive kind of effect. They can create secondary explosions inside the ship as well. I'm not 100% sure eon this but I think it'd have a like effect on every layer until it left the ship since the rods it's built on are depleted uranium.


OH! More info!

A stationary Soviet T-62 tank, firing at a range of 1000 meters against a target moving 19 km/h, was rated to have a first-round hit probability of 70% when firing a kinetic (APFSDS) projectile. Under the same conditions, the T-62 could only expect a first-round hit probability of 25% when firing its HEAT round.[2]

High Explosive Incendiary shells (HEIS) are designed to penetrate the armor of the target using high explosive properties, and then fragment and flare up, causing a fire either inside or outside of the target.

So it depends if you think you can hit them with the fin stabilized ones. If you want to go the easy route just go with HE, they can be set to detonate in the air with a proximity or times fuse.

HE would be the best choice if you dont plan to hit anything =)

You're not fatigued. I'm sure that guy was a genius.
