“So, I'm around twelve thousand feet, you know, hiding in the clouds, ducking down for a looksee peek every now and then, and - BAM!” you exclaim, slapping the table, “there he is, big black ugly and monsterous, not three thousand feet below. So I slip into the deck and sliiiiiiiiide up on him, then I come screaming down in a full power dive, all guns blazing!” You shake double fingerguns at them to demonstrate. “Entered a tight spiral for evasives and to keep from running over my do-not-exceed speed, rippled off my rockets first, then go to guns at around five, six hundred yards - and over five-fifty knots indicated -” not even a *blink* - “and lay into him good, beautiful burst, he blows to hell and gone and I haul on the stick to clear the bastard. Hard pullout, almost lost it, zoom-climbing for the clouds again in case he has friends aaaand that's when I look about and, like... I'm not missing a *lot* of wing? But it's not a *little* either, it's like-” you waggle your hand in air uncertainly, “like a moderate amount of wing. So. Naturally I misjudge my max climb rate aaaand she stalls, which becomes a spin, which becomes a *FLAT* spin. Meanwhile my port engine is on fire for some reason and it's making this like, spiral of flame in the air it was - right, nevermind, anyway I lay on the guns to try and empty the bins, change the CG, you know? And it works! Except then the engine fire, right, so I dive again, flaps in brakes in unloaded for speed, try to blow that bitch out. Then there's an explosion behind me -” you pause.

“Wait, right, forgot to say that a gun ran away on me second time I fired so it's still hammering away blam blam blam blam till it goes BANG! Must've overheated or jammed or a round cooked off before it went into battery because it blows right up through the cabin floor into the batteries behind the seat so now there's a fire back THERE. But, hey, I finally blow out the flames on engine one, so we're good, right, we're good, I've got an 02 mask, open the window to clear the smoke, we're awesome. Except now we're at like, 3,000 feet and I'm getting maybe 40 percent out of number one and number two's at maybe 80? Ish? But it's good, we've got power, and then like *half* the right wing just fucks off on its own, seeya mate, headin to the pub for a pint don't stay up for me."

So now I'm losing altitude fast but - ahead - I see the island! Except it's got that coastal wall thing. Which is bad. So I just lay on the power best I'm able and dive for the deck a bit, get that speed up, flare right before impact, shallow the angle and - it works. I skip the bitch, I skip that bitch UP, and we're OVER, and it's WORKING and I can just SKIP this bitch right over, but, uh, the impact, the blades, yeah. So the engines both over-rev and number TWO explodes, like, what was even its problem, it didn't even catch on fire before, and the loss of thrust, and the uneven wings - especially when the flaps got ripped off - and... she starts...” you twirl your finger in the air to indicate a frisbee rotation - and...”

There's no way around this - the most shameful of admissions. “And that's about when I lost control.”

“Sure,” you agree cheerfully - hey, if you like the looks of the place, you can always stay, and if not there'll be ample opportunities to run like hell. “Gimme the ten cent tour!”

“Awesome!” The newcomer ducks below and actually crawls under the table to surface by your side, grabbing your hand off your lap to shake it vigerously. “I'm Young, that's Minna, and-”

“AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!” comes a terrifying, booming laugh from the other side of the room as the short-haired one slaps her irritated looking comrade on the back.

“-that's Death Incarnate,” Young finishes. “Try not to piss her off.”

“Duly noted,” you note duly as he almost physically drags you out of the room. Emerging into a nicely appointed, wood-paneled hallway, he steers you down a sweeping grand staircase that leads to a spacious lobby before shoving you out the big double front doors into the huge courtyard. “Right, so -” he points to either side, “we're building hangars on each side of this square-y area because the Italians are too goddamn useless to do anything right beforehand. And that-” he points down the nearly half-mile long strip of stone leading out into the ocean - “is the runway, if you can call it that. We're trying to fix the broken bit at the end but it's a CULTURAL ICON or some shit and paperwork and blah blah, right, so... yeah.”

>>46402105
Turrets are arranged to have the one in back set up higher than the forward turret so that the rear turret can fire over the forward turret.

Better than normal firing, but not quite as good as megafiring.

>>46402105

He leads you to a small jeep parked in the wide courtyard area, and soon you're off, circling the small spit of land clockwise. “So you know about Athens, right?”

“Uh, the city? Full of Greeks?”

“Yeah. Back in ancient days apparently they built long walls that led from the city right down to their harbor, because their navy was so important. This place started out nigh identical, but the harbor was built onto this island, and then they built a castle to guard it, and, you know, blah blah - ah, here.” He brings the jeep to a halt by a half-constructed hangar to the right of the square courtyard. Popping out of the jeep, he drags you along behind. “Over there, that's mine.” He points to a twin-engined beast of an aircraft - for fucks sake, it's even got a top turret!

“What is that?”

“That is equipped for night fighting,” he says primly. “A P-61 Black Widow. It's a *heavy fighter.*” You, a Beaufighter driver, understand exactly where he's coming from. You nod solemnly, sealing the pact. “I see.” You see, indeed. Aside from the black paint and the nose art... “why is it covered in those little paper strips with Japanese scribblegrams on 'em?”

“Long story,” he says breezily. “Oh, look!” He points at a sour-looking man in stained overalls. “My crew chief. HEY, MARV!” A few seconds later he ducks as a half-inch wrench whistles over his head. “Right cool hangers very big and hangary let's like you know get the fuck out of here,” he says hastily as Marv reaches into his toolbox for something with better aerodynamics. "Where to?"

that's pretty bad, my brother.

But the original badnaughts I was talking about are from that one game of Rule the Waves where some dude played the Royal Navy and had rules where he could never design a BB with a centerline turret and more than 1 gun in a turret, along with other dumb old school naval design things.

More info here: http://nws-online.proboards.com/thread/449/badnoughts-experiment

>>46402581
EQM?

>>46402622

Those roles are always mutually exclusive. Look up the conversions of Ise and Hyuga if you want to see examples of an atempt to combine them that failed miserably.

Mind, they were fairly shit to begin with, but that's not the point.

>>46402622
A battleship is designed to be a ship of the line, to go directly into battle and pulverize everyfuckingthing

A carrier is supposed to stay the fuck out of battle, being filled with avgas and ordnance, and pelt the enemy with proxies from afar

trying to combine the two does not into working

You ask to see the repair facilities in more detail - machine shops, armory, engine shed, the works. You've always been partial to doing your own tuneups and that typically requires someplace other than an engine stand right in your own revetment to work. The rear echelon fuckers can be bribed cheap to look elsewhere as you bypass engine speed governers, but your own crew and chief will simply sodomize you to death with their wrenches for sticking your nose in their goddamned business. Young, driving like the typical American, executes a low-altitude suborbital transfer flight over the courtyard to the other side, where the machine shops and such lie. Parking the jeep with a squeal of tortured rubber, he bounces out and beckons you to follow. Strolling side by side, he starts pointing out areas of interest - a small ammo dump, a huge pile of sand for testing guns, even a strange metallic contraption built for tail-dragging fighters to be pushed against for testing of installed guns - like a pair of shot-traps that can swing out on articulated wheels to accommodate planes of different wingspans. He steers you sideways into a smaller hanger that's been subdivided into cubicles.

“Over there,” he points, “is experimental. All sorts of crazy shit in there, lots of tools and gauges straight from the engine manufacturers, stuff you usually only see in their - uh - hello?” You're already trotting towards the stall, trying not to drool as you eye all the beautiful toys the nice manufacturing reps jealously guard and hide in their bags after they're done dealing with That One Thing that brought them out to Limey Land.

Two people are already occupying the stall - a young man with short-cropped hair and a rather buxom redhead wearing only cut-off jeans and a tank top. They're both standing near a wheeled engine stand; the big ones used for rolling Merlins around the shop floor. The wheels have been unlocked. Each stand hosts an engine - one looks like a standard V12 that's grown a shitload of funny tubing on it, and the other looks like... well, like two goddamn engines in one crankcase. Both have propellers on them, and they've both been chained to huge concrete blocks on the floor. A presumed finish line has been painted on the ground some twenty feet away, near the wall of the hangar.

The lad and lass exchange a narrow glance.

“It's time,” he says.

“It is,” she retorts. “Ready to pay up, asshole?”

Battleships are meant to be there on the line and slug it out with other heavy combatants, and are armed and armored to fulfill that role.

Carriers have vulnerable flight decks loaded down with avgas and ordy to facilitate the launching of planes.

You want to have a carrier sit there and take hits to the face while both returning fire and launching planes? I'm sure you can tell that's a seriously bad idea

Combined railgun and missile armament would possibly work, but still won't 'bring back the battleship' (though for the first decade or two, the power source capable of charging the capacitors for the railgun quickly enough to be viable in a combat timeframe would likely need a BB hull to truck around).

Gonna argue the carrier thing- with them, they benifit better from economy of scale because they can deploy their offense as defense, and thus don't need to dedicate nearly asmuch tonnage to it.

Conversly, the problem with large arsenal ships is that if you only have one, all the eggs are in one basket. Which is bad.

Great to see ya Fap Angel.

WHY?! WHY MUST YOU TORTURE US WITH THESE FOOLING SHENANIGANS?!

>>46403228
More or less, yeah. In general, radar and other fire control systems are pretty squishy and can often be taken out by otherwise minor hits. Without radar, the combat ability of a ship is heavily reduced due to the inability to respond against distant targets.

As such, when you have more ships each with separate FCS instead of one big one with a single FCS, a single hit will only affect part of the fleet's radar systems (and thus leave more ships in the fight).

Young sidles up beside you, observing the imminent race. “Oh. I see they're butting heads again.”

“Who?”

“Shirley and Chuck. Brother, sister, you know how it is.”

“Ah. What are those things?”

“That,” Young points to the tubed engine near Chuck, “is an Allison V-1710-127. It uses some kind of crazy exhaust-ducting shit to return power to the crankshaft. And THAT one-” he points to the engine next to Shirley - “is a V-3420, which is basically two standard V-1710s mated to a single crankcase. They've been arguing over which one is the future of pursuit aviation powerplants, and tweaking the hell out of their Chosen Engine to edge the other out in raw horsepower.”

“Ahhh,” you say. As Chuck and Shirley fire up their respective engines with a great and terrible roar, you and Young exchange a Glance.

“Five bucks on the 127,” you intone.

“Five bucks on the two-in-one!” he retorts. You both spit in your hands and shake on it. Over the din, Shirley and Chuck are both rooting for their respective engines. The machines drag their concrete blocks forward while you and Young both steal glances at Shirley's ass while Chuck is otherwise engaged, cheering his engine on. Shirley is pumping her fist in the air as she yells encouragement. The two-in-one seizes an initial advantage, having more torque, but once it gets rolling the lighter mod-127 gains quickly, threatening to pull past the competitor. They inch forward, heavy blocks scraping against the concrete floor as they suck gasoline hungrily from two fifty-five gallon drums placed atop their respective blocks, connected with flexible temporary tubing. The 127 seems to have more power, or at least better power-to-weight, but as it encounters a rougher section of the hastily-laid floor the 3420 gains a momentary reprieve, torque serving it well once again. The stakes are rising, the tension is thickening, and you're just beginning to really enjoy things -

- when the goddamn chains snap.

You and Young both duck with well-honed reflexes as broken links sail harmlessly overhead. Chuck and Shirley are left staring at the two holes in the wall. The gas drums are gone from atop the blocks, drawn along by their flexible fuel lines. Somewhere, in the distance, you can hear the faint and fading howl of both dueling engines as they scream towards the horizon, unchained and free.

“Well, shit,” Chuck says dismally.

Shirley makes to comment, before squeaking and hugging her arms over her chest. You look to Young for comment, but he's busy peeling Shirley's tank-top off his face. You both exchange another Glance, and come to silent accord with a simple nod - time to move on. You beat feet before they can turn around and attempt to silence the witnesses to their opening of Pandora's crankcase.

“Ooohkay,” Young says, balling up the tank-top and flicking it neatly into a trash can full of oil-stained rags. “Just... come along. Over there, that's an experimental Striker shop.”

“Experimental?”

“Yeah,” Young explains. “Like every six weeks or so someone digs up a 'super secret plan,'” he airquotes, “left by Dr MickyFoojie with a rad bitchin awesome utterly insane new striker that only Yoshika can use. Just, you know, dug up from somewhere. But nobody knows where, because the Good Doctor is totally still missing for reasons unexplained by spooks that get real shifty-eyed when you talk to them loudly.”

You raise an eyebrow.

“NOOOOO SIIIIIIR, no, not bitter, not me, nope, never,” he says with deep and emotionally-laden Conviction. “I am thankful that her prototypes never blow up on her or do strange things or decide to just up and quit or seize bearings or put her into a flat fucking spin, because she is a young girl and she wouldn't handle it like us professionals do.”

“Of course,” you concede graciously.

“Now over here-” he leads you towards the “stall” on the right size of the aisle - “is where the neat shit happens.”

“Neat shit?”

“Yeah, from Germany. You know the Germans make good stuff!”

This stall is currently occupied by two blondes - identical blondes, in fact - and a brunette. The brunette is wearing some kind of rather fetching red outfit for some reason, and studying a truly massive cannon laid out on a big work-table.

You squint. “That's a 50mm gun.”

“It is?”

“Yeah. I used to fly Mosquitoes for a bit,” you tell him. “Teste version. Had one of those in the nose for anti-shipping work. Only about thirty rounds, though.”

The brunette's expression of dubious concern deepens when she rolls the big gun over a bit to discover a hand-grip under the breech block, as if it was meant for someone to hold.

“Erica?”

“Yes, Trude?”

Trude looks up, and points at the gun, her face asking the question for her.

Erica shrugs, and points at the other blonde. “Ask her.”

The other one is leaning over something vaguely propulsionish looking that terminates in a nozzle. “Oh, hell yes,” you exclaim, sneaking forward to take a look. Trude and Erica's eyes track you with twin expressions of foregone expectations as you and Young approach.

“Hey, Ursula,” Young asks. “I'm showing our new guy here the lay of the land. What's this thing you've got here?”

“An engine,” she says matter-of-factly as she dives into the guts of the device, face hidden by an access panel.

“Yeah, a jet engine,” you say appreciatively as your fingers twitch to touch touch touch. You look back at Young - but he's retreated several steps. “Whatsamattayou?”

“Jet engine,” he says suspiciously. “Or... a rocket.” He raises his voice. “Hey, Ursula, where's the fuel for this thing?”

She surfaces from the guts of the machine, taking off her glasses and blowing some fine dark dust off of them. “Hold on, I'll show you - I'm about to fire it up.”

Young has cautiously crept back to stand near you, though he's now eyeballing the mysterious engine darkly. Ursula ducks under her workbench and drags out a big tub of something - coolant? Protective packaging? You lean in, eager to see the latest invention of German wunderscience.

Ursula reaches down into the huge tub... and comes up with a coal scuttle.

You tip your head to one side, nonplussed.

She turns, and pours it into the open hatch. You and Young both leeeaaan over a bit, and get a good look at a wire mesh basket mounted to some sort of rotating drum - and it's filled with what look like uniformly-sized coal pellets.

“Yeah we're done here,” you state, spinning on your heel and stalking away with Young close beside you.

“Young?”

“Yeah?”

“Why in the name of all that is holy,” you query, “are the Germans building a jet that runs on fucking coal?”

“And I'm supposed to know this how?”

“You *are* fucking one,” you point out.

He opens his mouth. He closes his mouth. He opens his mouth again. “Uh. Shut up. Look!” Sprinting past your elbow, you turn to find him cracking open a door on a stall that's been fully walled off for privacy. “BEHOLD! THE LABORATORY OF THE GREAT AND god dammit where did he go.”

“I RISE!”

The voice echoes down to you from the ceiling. You both look up-

- and find an old white-haired man wearing a metal colander on his head, who is standing upside-down on the ceiling.

“BEHOLD!” he declares. “I, TESLA, HAVE DEFEATED GRAVITY ITSELF! THEY CALLED ME MAD! AH! HAHA! HAHAHAHAHAHA!”

“... why is that man on the ceiling?” you ask.

Nikolai Tesla seems to deflate with a long sigh. He looks up at his own feet, and executes a little hop. He sinks towards the floor for a second, before falling and landing on the roof again. “Because I did not think this through. Bring me that ladder, would you?”

Young grabs the ladder and wedges the top beneath a rafter near the man before fairly sprinting out of his cell. You follow, still blinking.

“So yeah, that, uh... happened,” Young says.

“That man was walking on the ceiling.”

“Yeah, so? He'll do it again tomorrow, what's your point?”

“THAT MAN,” you repeat slowly, reminding yourself that he is an American, and thusly exceptions must be made, “IS WALKING ON THE CEILING.”

“What do you expect him to do, water skate!?” A faint cry of exultation sounds from behind the thin plywood wall, and Young slaps his hand to his face. “Fuck. Thanks.” He stalks away down the aisle. “Uh that's the armory for the witches, because they're fucking insane and insist on using their personal slew of weapons sourced from whatever military they come from, so we need to maintain separate ammo and parts stocks for each goddamned one. Except for Zuuchini, because she intelligently lost her pile-of-shit eye-talian gun at the first opportunity and got a M1919 from Shirley, which we actually DO use in some aircraft.” His expression darkens. “Until we didn't. And then we actually moved to fucking Italy, like ten miles from the factory that makes the gun she lost, and now we have to source lightweight aero barrels for the plane variant of the 1919, from across the goddamned Atlantic.”

“Oh,” you say, tone carefully neutral.

“And over there is-” he points to another walled-off stall. This one has a pentagram drawn in front of the door with white chalk and what looks like a bead-curtian for a door. “Y'know what? Nevermind.”

You look to your left and find a mostly disused section filled with dust-covered crates. Some of them have been piled up like steps, and when you follow them upwards -

- you stop abruptly.

From the rafters above dangles a cow. A cow that is dangling by its *own tail,* carefully wrapped around the beam. It lets its head dangle to bring its wide, brown eyes to bear on you - and unleashes a quiet, steely *hissssssss* that slithers down your spine.
You turn to Young, and open your mouth.

“Justkeepwalkin,” he says, flinging an arm around your shoulders and propelling you forward. “Right so yeah uh that's this whole... place, uh... what do you want to see next?”

You have no fucking idea how much I wish that was so. But it's not. That's right out of goddamn Strike Witches, Season 2.

I love how this turned into SWQ. The only question is if it's going to be archived with the SWQ threads or the KCQ threads.

That's if it's even archived of course.

So I just opened my mouth to try and actually describe HellCow for you, and discovered... there really is no god damned way to describe it. So just... appreciate the phenomena, as our viewpoint character England von Britbong the Third does. That... pretty much sums it up, I think.

As per the last SWQ thread, she's got a harem of prep school boys now.

>>46404538
Doesn't mean there can't be an ancestor there; different universes can have the same person. Thus odds are there is a Settle in the SWQ89 verse.
