Wow, they pulled the shittiest line from Star Wars Episode 3.Blah people, stop using Imageshack.
Unless you come up with some magical inertial dampeners, they are very similar. Space ships would go fast, sure enough, but they need lot of time to accelerate to that velocity and after reaching "cruising speed" would need to spent plenty of delta-v in order to change their course. 7-8 Gs is probably the realistic maximum that human crew could sustain for more than few seconds and with the speeds that missiles can reach, that's not enough except in few exceptional cases. Movement in space is something you plan out long before and commit to - alterations are slow and costly.
Nope. Propeller makes enough noise to be heard on passive sonar, the only question is distance. Just like a space ship could utilize thermal sensors to spot the engines of other space ships.
Though if you have spotted the enemy on passives first, you can just use active to confirm firing solution and launch your torpedoes, then go quiet. Modern torpedoes are incredibly fast and are homing.
Torpedo homing relies on sonar signature but they can also be pre-programmed (to go to a certain location before trying to find a target) or be wire-guided. Target can always to try mask their sonar signature with a decoy but that's always iffy and no sub can carry that many of them to begin with. Missiles use either IR homing or a radar homing, both of which can be combined with guidance from launching platform. Target can spoof the former with flares and latter with chaff but modern missiles are quite good at filtering shit out - Russians, for example, managed to make 9K38 Igla in 1983 which was almost completely impervious to flares as it's impossible to make a flare that exactly mimics jet engine signature. My point being that it's fairly simple to fool missiles in both environments and probably easier in air.
Uh, no. Sonar is still the only sensor you have. At first you can only tell that there is a torpedo in water, it will take some time before it's clear where its headed. Towing an active sonar helps as you can make a quicker and more accurate triangulation. Yes, the order of magnitude is entirely different in space and missiles could be hidden better than underwater but then that's no different to air combat where missiles are even more visible as you can use a multitude of sensors to spot and track them - radar especially being highly accurate and fast.
Sorry again, that's entirely possible:
They are not. They do not need to worry about air and leaks are only a problem if they are below the water line. Even a proper hole in the hull is not an emergency thanks to water-tight compartments and good bulkheads. Submarine, on the other hand, is fucked if there's a hole or a leak, just like a space ship. Both have to worry about heat, about air, about consumables in a way that no other branch of the military ever has to.
But it's not, so it's no. Sorry bro. Aircraft are designed to be operated for a dozen hours or so, thanks to crew fatigue, fuel and ordnance. AWACS and JSTAR planes do long missions only because they carry two set of crews and get aerial refueling and even then they come down regularly for maintenance. Even with super high-tech engines, that sort of durability won't help you beyond Luna. Any sort of military operations beyond Luna would be fought with vessels closest to submarines and tactics closest to sub-to-sub warfare.
Holy fuck, Jaesun, you son of a bitch. My Copy doesn't arrive until 9th March.
Blah people, stop using Imageshack.
So with the forums behing renamed, I guess this thread should be moved to general games with stats & levelling up discussion?
Since it's a third-person shooter, not a first-person shooter.
Ah, the terrible piracy killing PC gaming, because people buy consoles to be the first to play pirated games.
NO U R WRONG
And I suggest that you check some of the videos that were posted for extra
effect.
Wait till the game is actually released, then this thread will shift into overdrive (more like hyperdrive). You will need a goddamn Ferrari to catch up to it.
