A diesel sub is going to struggle to hit much more than 20 kt and can be chased down by any reasonable warship.

A nuclear attack sub is pretty quick if it's not bothered about running silent. Not going to outrun a proper fast-corvette or designated sub-hunter, but probably fast enough to gently outpace most mid-size warships and above. Not that it would matter, a lot of those ships would be carrying a helicopter with ASW option that could track said noisy travel. Subs forced to the surface in a combat zone are in for a generally unpleasant day.

An ICBM carrier will necessarily be slower because of the bulk.

Do a recap video with your peanut gallery summarising the plot to this point from memory, followed by your own having rebuilt your file.

Because I like giving other people work.

For the record, I still have no idea how a shockwave gun works vis-a-vis aircraft and I'm still on the side of these planes being powered by magic. And nothing that Crow's showed me about the series has dissuaded me from that notion.

Depends on the shockwave. Most likely just trying to slam them with enough g in a non-standard direction to gently caress up the soft creamy core. Like super extreme turbulence.

How to build that hypothetical weapon that has a lower vertical cut off but seemingly no upper or lateral... magic is a good option.

They might have an infestation of wizards.

Or maybe their universe's gremlins on the wings are gnomes who upgrade your poo poo rather than damaging it.

We can't be spending good posts on the stuff we've already seen. That would be inefficient as a giant version of Wonder Woman's jet that can be defeated by a single 4th gen fighter equipped with magical missile replicators.

Leave the special forces alone at all options so they are present in a later mission where they make life difficult.

Do the mission with the "escort" tag.

You deserve it.

The C is the regular carrier version. Which is fine, if you like that sort of thing.

It's an interesting choice to put the accelerator ring above ground where it's vulnerable. I guess they didn't have time to dig a tunnel. Putting it in the city makes getting power relatively easy as long as you're cool with turning everything else off. You get gently caress all time to work with your mesons, so you probably need them generated at point of use.

6/10. Nice idea for your third grade superweapon, but it seems rushed.

The pilots are never an issue, you've seen all those named aces we've been murdering with the first volley of missiles. You should totally chase the superweapons.

It was a game, a game about planes. It wrapped up far, far too cleanly. The "bad ending" seemed more honest.
