This isn't today's article, this is just a little tidbit to foreshadow some action. Also a joint teaser for a few upcoming builds.
Following yesterday's raid...
Somehow, someway, TitanicBuff won't give up. Crippled, but alive, he continues to fight. More nukes have been dropped, albeit one near-missed Krakabloa, instead hitting the neighboring Krabloa. Another antimatter bomb was dropped on Wright, and this finally caused a snap.
Built with a unique weapon, the BA-27D "Barracuda Finale" fired a powerful beam onto Wright, stripping it of all nuclear resources, active and inactive. It did this to all of the islands, and even the world, rendering all existent nukes. Oppenheimer's reign was short, and finally, the nuclear era is over. How will this change warfare? We'll see...
Meanwhile...
The NMR has been plotting...
Mitchell: Hey sis, did you see what happened last night?
Takusha: Yes, I saw it... that thing is back...
Mitchell: Should I ready Ivan and Cy?
Takusha: No... fail once, fail again...
Takusha: This time, I will destroy him myself.
Mitchell: What about Manface?
Takusha: Don't send him. Thermo can possess most tanks.... but he can't possess me.
Silent Mitchell
Takusha: Besides, I won't be alone...
Takusha: Our little quiet period has allowed us to amass an army of these cars...
Mitchell: You... you can't be serious.
Takusha: I am.
Takusha: The drones.
Mitchell: No, I mean you can't be serious. Those things aren't as strong as you claim, the Thermonuclear Psychopath would cleave through them like butter.
Takusha: I know. But they don't NEED strength.
Mitchell: ...I don't follow.
Takusha: Their strength is in numbers. Even when they get cleaved down, there will always be more. Their hoardes are endless. Think of them as mosquitoes. They have short lifespans and don't do much damage, but there's simply too many of them to stop.
Mitchell: OK, but what about the nukes?
Takusha: And that's where our "collaboration" with the MDA was a tactical move. That Barracuda disabled all the nukes on this planet, even that Titanic guy's. But even IF they still had nukes, they're no match for the swarms of drones we have.
Mitchell: We still have to worry about that anti-matter bomb. And the tanks TNP is controlling.
Takusha: Again, nothing we can't handle. The Barracuda is hunting down the AM bombs, and I have a few tricks up my tracks for that Shrike and Enargite. They're no match for me.
Mitchell: Alright, but dare I ask, what makes you so confident that you can beat them?
Takusha: You'd be surprised. But also the Type 59.
Mitchell: Type 59... You didn't.
haha loreeeeeeeeeee
Stay in the dark until the time is right :)

@TitanicBuff
@KPLBall Oh sweet
@Pakkoyan Works for me, let's do it
But make sure they're expendable, we have no idea if Shiny's gonna antimatter bomb us again
@TheUltimatePlaneLover no I mean he's going to be upgraded and deployed from a C-20
@TheUltimatePlaneLover hey, can i deploy this thing to attack enemy ground forces instead of the Thairung? I also heard that TB still has some stuffs left after the bombing
@MIGFOXHOUND31BSM26 I have no clue.
You'd think the A-40Si one-taps the TNP, due to his heavy armament, high speeds, ridiculous armor, and teleportation powers. I mean, A-40Si was literally built to seek and destroy realm-jumping ships. However, there are three issues;
-We don't know everything about the TNP, so I'd need @SILVERPANZER to confirm the Siren Hunter's effectiveness against him
-The TNP might be virtually helpless against aircraft, but aircraft haven't had the greatest record against him either. He's a runner and often flees at the first sight of aircraft (and for good reason). However, his new MBT form might reduce his speed.
-The A-40Si, is powerful, but possibly too powerful. Whether he hits or misses the TNP, his armament is so broad he'd likely destroy far more than just the TNP, which isn't ideal since we're trying to save the world
And add another thought, we tried lasers like that of the A-40Si last time. This time, we're going to ensure the TNP goes and stays down. Hence why Takusha has chosen to bring daggers.
@TheUltimatePlaneLover also how effective is the A-40si against the TP
@MIGFOXHOUND31BSM26 ight
@TheUltimatePlaneLover yeah but maywar makes enough for my needs, so I’ll just have to make more energy factories
@KPLBall
I dunno... Cy fought against the Thermonuclear Psychopath in the original "final battle," but he was badly wounded and really only survived because the TNP thought he surpassed Soviet Bias and tackled Ivan (of course he didn't succeed and was shortly after throttled into space by the colossal tank). Furthermore, Cy was already damaged. During the Snowstone Campaign, he took a direct hit to the face and lost a lot of his left frontside. He's seen a lot, and I don't know if he can tackle an upgrade TNP, but he's sure got something in him... worth a try, I guess?
@MIGFOXHOUND31BSM26 Then let me help, my own island (which isn't included in SP :sadge) runs entirely on hydro, wind, and solar power, so I've got ridiculous amounts of energy to spare
@SILVERPANZER True, but as she said, we don't know everything about Takusha either. I honestly have no idea what upgrades she's given herself whilst leading the NMR, with the exception of some laser cannons built to destroy the Sirens and those two daggers she brandishes, and she has actually defeated A-40Bs in a 3v1 dogfight before (albeit none of the Havoc IIs were destroyed, but damaged and forced to land). Furthermore, experience is probably going to be her most important edge, with the original Flying T-34 predating even the M-War which the TNP originated from (to be exact, the M-War officially began on 3/15/24, Takusha's first iteration was released on 3/9/24). wouldn't could out the good 'ol Flying T-34 yet.
However, I wouldn't get our hopes up either. Takusha might have the experience, but fighting style is another issue, so more than likely this will be a stalemate with both sides badly damaged. As for the possessed tanks, they're gonna have to go through heck and back. If the drone swarm doesn't scare you, the T-59 will. Mitchell may also participate as well, but rumor has it he hasn't received many upgrades.
@TheUltimatePlaneLover yeah but I need that for some of my own large projects that were going to be nuclear power but someone disabled it
@Dracul0Anderson I can help with that.
@MIGFOXHOUND31BSM26 Maybe, but you'll have to be generous, it'll take a lot for wind electricity to replace nuclear generators.
NO NOT CY
I will give Cy his chance to fight
TNP may have every chance, given that it has changed a lot, turning into an MBT with good armor and a 150 mm cannon that can use different types of projectiles (Uran APFSDS, HE and ATGM), as well as its Multirole missles are now 4 pieces , there are also 20 mm and 30 mm automatic cannons, and this does not take into account abilities.
He also has his enslaved Tanks, which after enslavement received enhancements (Enargite VII received enhanced armor, and Shrike received an enhanced weapon).
@TheUltimatePlaneLover
(plus I'm a mobile user so I don't have Maywar)
@TheUltimatePlaneLover hmm alright, but can I regulate how much he gets
@MIGFOXHOUND31BSM26 No, I mean we can transport batteries and generators to him via C-19.
Besides, there's no guarantee he'll even need our help. I don't think nuclear generators use uranium and plutonium, the primary victims of the BA-17D
@TheUltimatePlaneLover I don’t know about letting him on maywar, my test facilities are there
@TheUltimatePlaneLover oh
@Dracul0Anderson Hmmm
Well as long as they don't use uranium or plutonium, you should be fine. If not, still no worries, my buds have a massive wind farm on Maywar, we can lend you some power.
@TheUltimatePlaneLover
Hey buddy, just what the hell does this mean for nuclear reactors? They power all Skypark ships, both sea and aerial, you know.
@Karroc9522 And that's why I'm removing them from the war
But our tanks and planes will fight through the radiation
@TheUltimatePlaneLover yea nukes don't solve all sadly. You nuke them, they nuke you. It never will end that way
