@AAKing27 @WarInstitute This isn't true though. They might touch a radio for EIB and eventually learn how to use one as a squad leader or maybe team leader but not all of them are getting trained as RTOs.
English
@WarInstitute Every infantryman learns to be an RTO, so to should they learn to be a drone operator.

The Army doesn't just need a military occupational specialty for drone operators. It needs one for drone operators who are also infantry soldiers. mwi.westpoint.edu/want-to-maximi…

@BigVhagarFan @CytoSlate @ByronBiDisaster Battlefront 2 2005 did it fine and it was developed at the same time as KOTOR 1. You can tell there’s a difference between what each uniform is supposed to be.
English
@CytoSlate @ByronBiDisaster That’s just because it’s a 24 year old game, so the models aren’t gonna be as detailed.
English
Remember kids, just because a design looks cool doesn't mean it has the same thematic resonance as the design that you find less cool.
KOTOR Republic troopers look the way they do for good reason.

@ByronBiDisaster The reason is to do a really shitty variant of the Rebel Alliance fleet troopers/Alderaanian security and it fails at that because other than the helmet looking vaguely similar the jumpsuit with no other equipment ruins the silhouette.

@EzhmaarSul @_spaceracist Bel Iblis’ problem with Mon was personality based, not ideological. They still fought as their own force because they still believed in the Alliance to *Restore* the Republic.
English
@kcin117 @_spaceracist Yeah, and they refused to participate in the war. Garm Bel Iblis is a REAL rebel leader. Not some opportunist like Mon Mothma.
English
@EzhmaarSul @_spaceracist Bruh Corellia’s largest Rebel Alliance leader was a former Republic senator.
English
@kcin117 @_spaceracist Yes. Think Corellia. The New Republic must be formed on Confederate ideals with more independence for systems.
English
@EzhmaarSul @_spaceracist I can’t tell if your headcanon rebels are neo-separatists or not.
English
@_spaceracist Is it your impression that Virginia, the home of Washington and Jefferson and basically every elite worth a damn in the Thirteen Colonies...
Was peripheral?
(Headcanon is the Alderaan Volunteers accept Separatists after their home planet gets blown up because fuck it.)

@C0untryDick @Igi_POLCOM Airborne units took their assault objectives during Husky and Market Garden was within the realm of possibility. And this still discounts the dozens of successful airborne operations. You people who say shit like this also never bring up stuff like Vyazma or the Dnieper.
English
@kcin117 @Igi_POLCOM sicily was a disaster, market garden was a disaster
English
Paratroopers must be thankful to D-Day because all of their other most famous operations from Crete to Market Garden and now Kyiv are just getting them killed and being relegated to front line duty as somewhat more equipped shock troopers.
Unimaginable aura loss formation.

The Fallschirmjäger's most successful airborne deployment during the war involved monstrous swathes dying to static anti-aircraft fire, and a not-insignificant portion getting beaten to death by Greek dirt farmers with agricultural tools in broad daylight after landing
English
@abulebube123 @Igi_POLCOM This isn't a yes or no thing. Of course airborne operations will have more casualties because its insanely more risky than most offensive operations. Like I said, the key factor of determining whether or not its worth it is if that risk can be mitigated enough.
English
@kcin117 @Igi_POLCOM Yes and no, let me give you the specific data breakdown % wise.

The first 3 days of the Ukrainian offensive into Kursk oblast, Case study.
I should mention the study is free for anyone on my Substacks and nobody has been asked to give money to me.
There are more details about it in the Thread🧵

@abulebube123 @Igi_POLCOM That's a completely nothing statement. So will literally any force if the conditions have not been set for their success or there's undue amounts of risk that can't somehow be mitigated.
English
@kcin117 @Igi_POLCOM Im not saying paratroopers or airmobile infantry is useless, but that they will suffer extremely bad casualties against anything resembling a near peer force.
English
@abulebube123 @Igi_POLCOM This sounds smart if you're an idiot and ignore what the capability the provide and the inherent risk associated with vertical envelopment (or literally any offensive operation).
English
@Igi_POLCOM Paratroopers are a good way of turning your elite light infantry into POWs unless nearly every detail goes right. Even during D-Day paratroopers suffered atrocious losses compared to other units.
English
@Turbofurby I’d respect that guys opinion more if the KOTOR Republic Army didn’t look like dogshit. Even as far as a riff on the Alliance fleet troopers it’s bad.
English
I'd rather have the armor on the right though. I much prefer it over the goofy hat and sweatshirt look that's this image.
Let the good guys look badass too.

The December 2024 assault near Lyptsi by the Khartia Brigade was an impressive operation, but only the first stage was unmanned. On the first day, Khartia employed UGVs and UAVs to inflict casualties (mostly caused by Mavic drops) on Russian forces to set conditions for an assault. The second day involved a company-size mechanized assault with infantry who dismounted from BMP-1TS and M113 APCs. Drones did not seize or hold terrain, infantry did.

A British drone industry would not be a cost. It would be a renaissance. British kit, designed here, built here, used by our forces and sold to our allies. War has already changed. Britain needs to as well. dailymail.com/debate/article…

@siuansanche10 @RedCenturionIX You’ll probably be surprised to learn this but Troy Denning has written several Halo books over the past decade and all of them have been very well received. Silent Storm is outstanding.
English
@RedCenturionIX Ran the Star Wars post-ROTJ EU into the ground after the New Jedi Order series was wrapping up by turning the NJO into rants about how the boomers of the series were right all the time and should/would never be replaced by the next generation of Skywalkers/Solos.

It’s never been more over
Rebs Gaming@Mr_Rebs_
Halo Studios just announced the next Halo novel by Troy Denning (who also wrote Campaign Evolved’s prequel missions) called Halo: Fireteam Noble. Releasing in 2027. Description: 2560. The galaxy remains fractured in the devastating wake of Cortana’s rise and the Created menace, while the Banished war machine relentlessly consolidates power across former Covenant space. To help counter these ongoing and emerging threats to humanity, Spartan Jun-A266—the last surviving member of Noble Team—struggles to forge a new generation of warriors on the hidden UNSC base Anvil Station, even as he battles the ghosts of his own past. But when a renowned xenoarcheologist is brazenly abducted by a Banished strike team, Jun is pulled back into active operations alongside both old and new allies for a dangerous rescue mission, leading them all deep into hostile territory. Now Jun must confront the burden of survival and decide what it truly means to carry Noble Team’s legacy into a new era of conflict as this desperate mission may hold dire consequences far beyond a single missing civilian. #Halo

@itsbasilbasil @justahaloguy He is the best modern Halo author hands down.
English
@justahaloguy I've been meaning to actually dive into them properly, but based what I've actually seen of them and what I've heard from people I trust--both fans and critics--Denning is deeply frustrating and I find it insane that Halo has like eight books from him
English
But have you ever read Denning’s Halo novels?
