>>28523657
that is a statement, not a question
graduate middle school english class
for hard targets, light tanks with 120mm autoloaded main guns. basically leclerc on steroids.
infantry support = tons of repurposed SPAAG. every army is completely mechanized and every vehicle has some form of high-calibre weapon.
standard riflemen use OICW or some mag loaded semi auto grenade launcher. soldiers are heavily armed because mobility isn't a concern; they're mostly present to protect their vehicle's blind spots from the little cunts.
also over the horizon fire support with cluster munitions to overwhelm with the lasers.
I fucking love muv luv.

Bugs and mammals have different chemical receptors for their nervousness systems. Raid can harm a human, but it kills ants on contact. IDK is the reverse is true for ants and VX.
We could easily make them. Get a dead alien monster, get some nerves and figure out what blocks them. Chemicals weapons and most medications are molecular keys that get jammed in the right molecular lock to keep it open or keep it closed.
>>28523939
except for cute little girls......because anime
seriously we should have nuked them like 20 more times.
It really is a good example of the disgusting sort of circlejerk japs like to fantasize about. They're a sick people.
Still, the impossible physics and biology defying ayy lmaos considered, Humanity has such a terrifying command of biological warfare that I promise you within hours of the faggots landing we could have a virulent strain of weaponized disease kill them off, and that's ignoring possibilities like nukes planted ahead of their advance, controlled irradiation, excessive mach speed munitions and chemical warfare the likes of which has never been unleashed on living things and exists today right now in research labs.

I actually liked the idea of a military anime full of the regular tropes, at least in the way they where doing it. Most of it seemed pretty tasteful.
It only deteriorates though, and turns into a full blown power fantasy.
>>28524454
Just use more mines nigger. If they're only method of engagement is to zerg rush then I will plant more mines than Zergs, fuck em'. I'd plant nukes in the ground, I don't give half a shit.

Too bad it takes time to plant mines, time they'll be using to, you know, zerg rush you.
This isn't starcraft, they don't come in waves and give you 30 minutes to rebuild your defenses between each wave

So no military technology?
I fight them with the fucktarded question you presented, OP.
>>28524632
that's such a stupid argument. Any countermeasure takes time.
>>28524632
The BETAs aren't everywhere, and you don't need a military force to set up a mine field. If they have the time to organize and prepare a battle like the one in the OP, then they have time to make peasants dig holes meanwhile.
I don't know much about the anime but saying there couldn't be mass fields because of time restrictions is ludicrous even by this anime's standards, and that seems to be saying something.

The few anime directors who have bothered to set foot outside Japan and begin to grasp the actual reality of the world around them tend to be shunned.
Like, everyone loves Cowboy Bebop, right? Fucking everyone trashed it in Japan. Poor guy who directed it didn't even know it was a hit at first. So he did that follow-up movie which was basically a love-letter to New York City, and it also didn't sell in Japan.
Teens with dripping pussies riding mechs fighting aliums. That's what sells over there.

IIRC one was shot down by a laser.

>>28531401
40k has the excuse of 'gods' existing, and they have lore solidly rooted in the use/shunning of magic. It's gritty and slightly more based on weapons tech compared to most sci-fi, but it's not meant to be entirely realism.
One thing they have which isn't used in most franchises is atmosphere-igniting weapons (Exterminatus), and they're treated the same way nukes are nowadays (only use them if you don't plan in using anything from that planet for a long-ass time).

Artillery
>>28523451
A hefty dose of plot armour (the only thing keeping earth being stomped, especially considering all of the beta are not even military classa and are just miners, apart from the laser fort)
How would satellite-based weaponry do against BETAs? Surely even the laser classes couldn't deal with kinetic bombardments in large numbers.
Do the BETA even have direct space combat capabilities?
>>28531550
The US is the only ones in MuvLuv to use nuclear landmines in Northern Canada. They manage to save the continent and keep most of the populated Canadian areas safe from fallout. The first season takes place mostly in a unaffected Alaska. Europe and Asia simply wanted to try to take on the invaders without nukes.
>>28531467
My point was more that there's a set of 'rules' for how almost everything works in 40K. How the powers of the Warp work and interact with the material universe, what interferes with or enhances them, and so on. While things like artificial muscle fibers in power armor, rifles that fire 2-stage gyrojet HEAP rounds, and other assorted techno-wizardry makes a hell of a lot more mechanical and metaphysical sense than Blasters or The Force.
>>28531616
They don't. The BETA are mostly designed to strip mine and convert living material like the Tyranids of Warhammer 40k lore. They use drop pods to supply military forces, not sure if space based weapons was mentioned in the lore.
>>28531629
Wait, so what was the "spess muhreens" bit about then? You were saying people complain about them?
I don't see why they would, they're some of the more sensible things in the franchise.
>>28524230
Please no. If 2 nukes turned them in to what we have now I don't even want to imagine what 20 or more nukes would have turned them into.
>>28531669
If we nuked them 20 times anime would be real. And tentacle monsters would be raping their way across the world
>>28531641
Well I meant the setting in general. Space Marines are one of the better bits, I agree. I even vaguely recall there being some sort of real life genetics shit that backs up the whole "only guys because something-something based off the Primarch's chromosomes" part.
>>28531759
Yeah, Marines are 3+ meters tall, with multiple spare organs and huge amounts of muscle mass. Basically a geneticist's wet dream.
The main leaders of the Empire were all sons/clones of the Emperor, each with slightly different genetics. The different factions were all based off them, but I can't remember if the Marines ALL use DNA from them in turn (some definitely do to some degree, like the Blood Angels, leading to weird psychic links between them).
>>28531833
Emperor starts his primarchproject to make 20 nearly god like beings think more Hercules type god then all powerful god) he used his knowledge from the thunder warriors he made before. After the chaos gods spread the primarch across the galaxy he toOK the genetic material to make the original spess mehreens. When each marine gets the geneseed from his chapter he is receiving genetic material from the original primarch.
>>28531936
What this /k/omrade said.
To elaborate a bit (and this depends partly on how canon you view the Horus Heresy novels), the Emperor used the genetic knowledge from the Thunder Warriors project, as well as all the various super-geneticists who weren't insane that he recruited, to make the Primarchs, who were based on his genetics and powered with the warp as well. The 20 Space Marine legions used their Primarch's genetic material as a catalyst, adding to the general Space Marine template, and inclining them all to various temperaments and specialties. This is also major reason why the Space Marines are held in such high regard by most of the Imperium, in a manner of speaking they're the genetic grandsons of the Emperor.
While to further contrast, the Adeptus Custodes (who have often been considered to be super-astartes) are said to be individually crafted, which could mean a number of things but presumably it's an invested and complicated process where the Emperor uplifts someone in some way that achieves the desired result of creating an ultra elite warrior-bodyguard.

Using mechs in open field combat is still dumb as shit when the optimal composition is FSV's and SPAAGS. Mechs are reserved for going into the hive, and not used at any other time.
For the price of one mech, you can build a dozen of Sprut/M8 AGS/Tunguska/Gepard. Humanity is shooting itself in the foot by spamming expensive mechs as line units.
These things win the field battle, then once the surface is secure, you use ELITE HIGHLY TRAINED mech pilots rather than 15 year olds you picked up off the street.
All this bullshit about "not enough candidates" to allow for better mech pilot training is bullshit considering they have enough warm bodies to still deploy infantry.
Nobody prone to panicking at the sight of the enemy is fit to be put in a multi-million dollar piece of equipment.

If I really wanted to get fancy, i would just say load up all those bombers with JASSM modded with submunition payloads.

yes, every frodoposting in /m/ and /a/ agree with this.

agree, but in the lore, most of the adult people are dead, and for the plot lulz, any pilot trained for any aircraft before 1973 (when BETA arrives on earth) are dumb shit to use TSFs

Nigga you could detonate these from several kilometers away and the plume would devastate everything in nuclear fire and pressure in front.
There's no point defense lasers against that.
And a gigaton nuke just has to be detonated in the same continent, but it would probably kill the entire earth...so those dirty bugs don't get it first.

I dunno, seems like a tall order even for magical ayys. The reason you have a better chance of intercepting sea skimmers is because there is little terrain for a sea skimmer to hide behind, but a terrain following supersonic missile has that option, meaning you can keep them masked long enough to negate the reaction time or volume of fire of the point defense,

so VN had no infantry and armor section? Then that gets lightly more justifiable.
The elephant in the room then becomes "who's making the fucking mechs?". Just ball-parking that they need the same amount of man hours and resources as an OTL fighter, that's 50,000+ man hours to make one, and fuck knows that mechs are more expensive than fighters are.
You are putting the fruit of 50,000 man hours in the hands of teenagers who get themselves blown up in 8 minutes. If you have the manpower and resources to build mechs, you fucking have the manpower and resources to train the pilots to not be complete fuckups.

Anon, i can tell you have never served in the military before.
Let's say you have 100 pilots sitting around and fresh off the production line TSFs okay. The BETA are about to eat a huge city and the evacuation isn't done yet.
Do you think the higher ups aren't going to send them out to stall for time?
>>28537939
Are these wondermachines and their pilots worth more than the city? If yes, you do not deploy them. If no, you do not use them as cannon fodder, or as a means to stall. These wondermachines are too costly in materials and manpower to justify using them as expendable.
>>28538012
Of course you don't use them as canon fodder, you send them out as a strike unit with orders to pull back if it gets dangerous.
Nobody sends people out and tells them its a suicide mission and not to bother coming back.
But war isn't a video game so you don't always get the luxury of right clicking to retreat with impunity.
>>28538032
Also the generals are going to be motivated for political reasons too, who wants to get pulled infront of congress to explain why they didn't deploy a wonder weapon and "let" millions of new yorkers die?
>>28538051
It still comes down to that calculus though. If the risk of losing your one advantage over the enemy is too great, you simply do not take that risk, no matter how "damaging" it may be to your reputation. Military institutions pay lots of money to have pencil pushers and eggheads figure out just how good your odds are in a fight and how much you are risking for good reason: you're playing with very expensive assets.
Jesus fuck, i can't believe I'm actually indulging the nonsense of your /a/utis/m/.
>>28523451
Old school ass barbed wire and trenches? If these things are even smart you could just mine the fuck out of your retreat so it's slow going for them
The defensive line is comprised of tanks and mg's. Just like the line aiming straight down the walkway. The things up top are pits filled with spikes to hold the enemies when they fall and fire to kill everything that falls in. Make choke point surrounded by fire and kill everything that comes through.

>mirrors blocking lasers

Using a combination of air burst WP bomb clusters from laser diffusion range and cloud seeding to increase rainfall percentages our plan (operation dark storm lol) is to eliminate laser hit ratio through increasing airborne particulate levels. Naturally the apocalyptic scenario necessitates all measures to ensure survival so the ecological damage is a non issue. Following neutralization of laser defenses, saturation nuclear bombing will commence across effected areas until the threat has been neutralized.

you forgot something called "we have reserves...[spoiler] A LOT of reserves[/spoiler]"
pic related, for consideration, m8.
[spoiler]yes, it is almost impossible to win this war alone with conventional weapons, but with the help of orbital and meteor bombardment, everything is possible :^)[/spoiler]
>>28550082
I fail to see how that changes anything. Nuclear weapons are not conventional, neither are chemical, which have been discussed above. The aliens have not occupied the most uranium rich areas of the world leaving continued nuke production unhindered. The map indicates 22 hives. Destruction of each hive will be accomplished in stages.
initial MIRV bombardment will destroy the monument and reveal the stab. Second wave will consist of nuclear penetrators to eliminate near surface tunnels. If tunnels are as large as indicated by your images they will be easy to destabilize with repeated ground shock of nuclear munitions (square cube law). Final stage will consist of thermobaric munition insertion into stab and surrounding tunnels, incinerating remaining aliens.
Orbital bombardment is of course an option but not the only one

I'm not denying it will take a lot of nukes, I think you underestimate the nuclear production capabilities of mankind. I also assumed a spaceborne alien organism would be resistant to radiation, in this case nuclear weapons are being used to destroy the hives themselves. If I would make one change to my previous post it would be to replace the final, thermobaric wave with another nuclear deployment.

>>28552693
Rods from god.
Orbital drop nukes attached to the ass of a kinetic kill vehicle.
The reentry happens at high enough speeds that the plasma sheathe dissipates all incoming lasers.
At that kind of velocity and density, the shock from hitting the ground is survivable by a nuke. Once the warhead is far enough below ground, it detonates.
>>28551442

Forget plain old mirrors.
Retroreflectors on everything!
They don't even have to be fancy bullshit science 99.9% reflective mirrors. Any stupid anime alien that shoots a technobabble lazor at a retroreflector made of typical 95% mirror will fry its self before it burns through the mirror.

>>28538032
Trading space for time is absolutely a viable military tactic. Stalin issued a "not one step back" order at one point, and even he was smart enough to realize that was a fucking stupid idea that was costing was too much forces.
The muv luv people are just retards. Rushing pilot training for expensive equipment is shooting yourself in the foot. What you need is to buy time in whatever way possible, if it means leaving civvies behind then so be it, give them some old AK's so they might take a few with them.
Once you have a trained cadre of pilots, you overall casualty rate drops, you can beat pilot attrition, and actually turn the tide.
But the muv luv writers have standard nip level knowledge, which is jack shit.

>>28552559
Again, payload sections for any modern rocket are highly modular (and larger than an ICBM), so fitting a few MIRV clusters into it is no big deal. Guidance might take a hit, but once again modern guidance systems can be highly autonomous, and as long as we know where we want them to hit, the onboard computers can calculate an intercept vector. The only problem is range really, and how close is too close for intercept.

ok so spam artillery like its going out of fashion and shell the living shit out of every concentration of enemy forces observed
defensively just do the traditional using landmines to force enemies into kill zones with intersecting fields of fire
mechanize the shit out of everything (as almost every modern military has) and drill troops so that once the enemy is closer than 200m they can withdraw quickly and set up again at prepared lines behind them
whenever those 120mm proof rhino shits appear just hit them with a tactical nuke
if offensives break through start smothering the area with whatever gas is most toxic to these alien fucks
for infantry weapons make cheap rpgs commonplace and use battle rifles to increase effective range and killing power
in urban warfare just crack out the flamethrowers and thermobarics on their asses
oh and build a 200mm+ direct fire SPG which can just plant a fucking giant HESH or HEAT round into the face of advancing enemy formations
hell, the enemy has like no ranged weapons, just start slapping heavy weapons on light vehicle and truck chassis and line them up for the slaughter
If they can create bullshit mecha that can fight the alien threat they can also create viable weapon systems that can fight them better

Heavy metal clouds are already proven to work in-series. Combine it with grid-square-removal from MLRS, backed by 155mm SPH delivering DPICM also.
As a bonus, this defeats Destroyer-class, because DPICM are top-attack and use HEAT besides, which ignores hardness in its penetration mechanism.
Then have tanks to out-maneuver and purge any survivors who leak past the steel rain. Use some arty-delivered cluster minefields to make sure.
