Re: The Military Realism Thread, MK-1: The dummy stage

Are you taking an attitude here?
A tidal wave, moving at extreme speeds, much taller than the
reactor would douse it, and shortcirctuit it. Not to mention the
earthquake. How can you compare a missile with maybe +/- 50
meters accuracy to a massive tidal wave? Shall I mock Tokyo for
burning down to mere bombs when Hiroshima was wiped out by a
nuclear weapon? Or shall I compare NORAD to Hiroshima?

My point being, that the reactors didn't care about the water.
Why would I target the hardened structure when I can just shread
the unprotected support equipment and get the same effect?

Because there is no such thing as unprotected support equipment.

Don't forget Three Mile Island

People are afraid of nuclear reactors for a variety of reasons.
These accidents are just one of them. The next is what to do
with nuclear waste? Right now we just put it in drums and bury
it, more or less. The stuff won't quit being radioactive until
well after everybody that disposed of it is long dead. It's like
being afraid of flying because planes crash.

I found a good article for why mecha are actually a ridiculous
idea for future reference. ;)

Here's something else I found that may be helpful if you want to
make your own tanks.

That article is debatable when it comes to "spider" tanks. They
would distribute weight pretty well, and though slow, would have
the advantage of nearly the same strategic mobility as infantry.
They would also need advanced robotics to maintain balance and
walk, but would have far fewer problems than any two-legged
thing.
As support for light infantry they could be useful (because they
would match them closely in strategic mobility, whilst no other
kind of vehicle really can except a few very specialized things
with independent articulated suspensions, that are also quite
slow). They would probably always be "light" tanks because that
article is quite right that they couldn't be as heavily armored
as "normal" tanks, but they could carry plenty of heavy weapons
that light infantry otherwise couldn't.
It should also be noted that the treads of tanks have always
been a point of severe vulnerability much as short legs would
be, though admittedly to a lesser extent.

I know this says military but I wish to fact check with the
community before I seriously begin investment in this. The
