You'll probably get scramble offers for buying them. Might be worthwhile to mention some sort of anti-tampering device, so you can retain a monopoly on them. Should probably write down all the names as well, cause I know I'd just end up forgetting them.

What? Okay I might give you Eurofighters (as Britain, Italy, Spain, and Greece use them) but hell no to Raptors. Please explain which country used a Raptor F-22 against you before now. I'll love to hear who's been using a fake Raptor. You do realize I took over Europe through military conquest, right? You're saying not one of those countries had a single F22? Btw, in the present day, we would probably be at F64s or something, if anyone other then me, Brazil, and Norway had actually invested any money into updating their air forces.

Thailand. And yes, white land is claimable, but you either have to gain it through diplomatic process or conquest.

Because he obviously test the "highly advanced interceptor planes" against both fighter jets right? I can simply say the Raptors can still beat his system. As no test were conducted. He has no clue what Raptor F-22 really do against this system, as I've never fought him and he doesn't even have them. They've been used in every war I've been into, everything from WW3 and beyond. So yes, they've been tested against Eurofighters and Raptors. His "advanced air defense system." I'm the only one who's made a concentrated effort to build anti-air defenses, so yes, I have the most advanced system in the world. Not to mention my MAASs (Mobile Anti Air Systems).

He doesn't need to have a post researching something that already exists. Lighten up. Lol. You're telling me to lighten up.

LMAO at thinking 40 year old fighters can stand against my air defense system. It would be like a country in todays world sending WW2 planes into combat. You don't have drones ;) And I truly hope Hedgehog wasn't the mastermind of this whole alliance/war thing, because if he is, you guys are in dire straits. Germania has started a secret project for the development of new type of bomb. That's all the details for now. R&D is expected to be complete in 7-8 years.

Since you didn't bother to post my reply, I'll do that for you ;) I only wrote 1 reply to the 5 or so messages you sent me, since they were all just completely ridiculous strategies that would never work IRL. This was my response: [hide=] [/hide]

I've already told him I'm just going to ignore all his posts if he doesn't stick to some semblance of realism. He's been sending me a slew of idiotic messages saying how he's toppled my government and my empire is in anarchy or some other such stupidity. Findenland poses no threat to Germania, considering his military consists of really nothing other then a mass of militia troops. You do know that Germania spans across 3 different continents, right? Cute. Except you've already stated you've been attacking my land with ground troops. An attack with only your air force is pointless, considering they'd just be destroyed by my SAM and AA sites. Oh really? Let's see the post where you started this research. A hangar, and a ship you paid $100b for.

I'm fine with that, but it kind of negates all the money I've poured into research. Why can't we just build something like this, instead of just finding it derelict in the galaxy? I think 5 hubs is way more then should be. 3 would be my suggestion.

Think of this way. Without FTL travel, to reach a habitable planet not currently in anyone's control, it would take at least 30 years in-game time. Most people would've forgotten about even sending colonists, considering that is a full month irl. FTL needs to be discovered for the game's purpose - though I cede that it is a huge stretch of the imagination IRL.

What's your point? All that's saying is that stealth missiles don't exist. I agree with this, for the sake of playability. But restricted, like say teleporting divides the time it would take by 10? I say it takes 10 years to reach a planet outside of the solar system, seeing as the majority of tipit doesn't know and doesn't want to research exactly how far away some planets are. Hell, we're going to be inventing some planets. There are over 20 star systems within 12 lightyears. For god sakes, that's more than enough. Only 3 of them hold possibly habitable planets though.

Not to mention that as soon as those doors open, it's a screaming signal to exactly where the bomber is. I say yes.

25 should be ok for a start. Stealth is mostly for radar, since everything puts out heat pretty much. The problem with getting the missiles to lock on is the fact that finding a stealth bomber is hard, especially if they're camouflaged to fit in with the sky from the bottom. And they fly very high up. So if you were able to find the stealth bomber, you could lock onto it, but finding it is the hard part. And dusty, don't forget, they're invisible too. What? They'd be useless for everything other then transporting crap, then. Okay, people really need to understand how stealth aircraft work. You can't just apply a special kind of paint to an air craft and it becomes "stealth". You have to painstakingly alter the aerodynamics of an aircraft, so that it can bounce radio waves, and then apply the paint. However, those changes you made to the aerodynamics, while making it semi-invisible, impair its performance horrendously. 1. You can't carry any armaments on the wings (bombs), as those would register with radar 2. The gas tank has to sit inside the craft (i think), so this severely limits the plane's range 3. A stealth aircraft will always lose in a direct confrontation against a regular fighter, as they'll be slower, sluggish, and poorly armed for combat compared with a regular plane. 4. They're crazy expensive. 5. They need a lot of maintenance. The tiniest bump along the paint will give it away to radar, which means you need a full base to take the thing apart and put it back together. Meaning, you can't really use them effectively for offensive ops, unless it's really close to home. [/endrant] It'll take much longer then a week. Me and Aether have been researching it for around 7 years already, and I've already put somewhere around $3 trillion towards the research.

Of course not. My unicorns feed off the blood of the unbelieving, fart lighting, and [cabbage] pure gold. I for one welcome our new unicorn overlords. How do you plan on propelling such a massive thing while masking its heat?

90% of the Guitar Hero achievments (pick any one) are either impossible or so bloody suicidally-frustrating to get.

Wormholes are possible, but then again so is god, and invisible unicorns who can fly and feed on rainbows. There is no proof of wormholes, the theory is more of a "what if" kind of thing, rather than one backed up with observation and proof. Anyways, I'm ok with no antimatter as weapons. Except maybe eventually with ship to ship combat, but nothing terrestrial. I still doubt we'll ever get to that point though. Germania has raised an army of 5 million unicorns that feed on rainbows. They are currently charging against Jerusalem's battle line.

Plasma shielding makes them absorb a lot of energy-based weapons damage, but can't really stop solid things like missiles and bullets. Which is what my ships use hehe. Alright, one of my colony ships has been sent off to Gisele D, should be there in around 19 years. The first one sent has around 10 years left for its trip.

Germania has halted all acts of aggression against Aether and Kazakhstan. Kazakhstan you're actually pretty lucky, as Russia was planning on staging a mass invasion today. I shall go talk to him and call it off. To Latino: Having 25 million troops fully trained is not all that unrealistic, considering the number of wars Germania has been involved in. I never claimed that the other portions are trained though. A deal has been made with another country to supply weapons to my new recruits though (as to stay within the realm of realism). Supplying as many troops I have isn't that hard either, since they're all based on home ground, so the supply lines aren't under attack constantly. Not many changes in Europe, Findenland has dug into their small staging ground in northern Denmark, and a 2 million man assault has begun on Belarus. Africa-Germania war news: Germanian troops are retreating following massive attacks by Jerusalem and Luxembourg. They've adopted a scorched Earth policy, so I'd be quite careful of advancing too far into Germanian land, as you'd soon find yourself without enough food or water to supply your troops. Germania has also sent around 50,000 troops to reinforce Greenland, and another 15,000 to Iceland. Another 2,000 are dotted across the arctic isles.

Who was whining? I was just bringing it up to show you the ridiculous justification you have for going to war with me. I went the more realistic route - military conquest. You can't just diplomatically take over 20% of the world. And let's see, V for Vendetta and Equilibrium, lol. V for Vendetta is based of off Guy Fawkes and the gunpowder plot, which was a miserable failure. Equilibrium was the biggest stretch in imagination I've ever seen. Besides, our citizens aren't being led by a conveniently exposable lie that could collapse the empire - a la Equilibrium. And as for The Fourth Reich, do you not think Latino would've found it impossible to gain control of the middle east as "The Holy Empire of Jerusalem" and a christian state? Ha!

I can't deal with you. You can't just magically create infrastructure and raise an army that size and have them all magically be fully trained and equipped. I have an army of 65 million. 25 million them are trained and war veterans, 10 million are still going through training, and 30 million are new conscripts. I could theoretically raise around 300 million that could fight, but I won't as it would be impossible to supply that many troops. But supplies don't seem to have any sort of effect on anyone else. You guys must have hordes of replicators I don't know about.

None that I've seen in the beta so far. But yeah, I remember those in SP hehe.

HER not him. No need to get touchy. I assume everyone on the internet is a guy unless expressively said otherwise.

*shrug* It was still your ship. Show me the posts that you've done this. Both me and Brazil have updated fighter jets. I have my fighter interceptors, and he has the S3-Blade. So no, your F15s aren't "the best fighter jets in the world". Lol. Oh, so you just magically created an entire country? Hehe. Have fun supplying, arming, and training that many people. Even by the most unrealistic of projections, it would probably take you a decade to get that many to a semi-war ready level. A name is just a name. And besides, what do you care what happens in Europe? You've done nothing to stop Brazil's rapid expansion, but oh no! The Germans! The Germans are evil and we must stop them! Oh please.

Alright, I'll extend the area effect and casaulties by a bit, but it's worthwhile to note that most present-day governments keep stockpiles of vaccines for known diseases in case of pandemics. It wouldn't be that hard to simply fly over enough of the drug to the area. Also, to Malaysia: If you're taking your walkers across land and into Germania, they'll have to be attacking in Africa, unless you're taking them through Russia - which would mean your supply line for them would be going through enemy territory (not a very good idea).
