NATO vs Soviet Union: Part 18

[Narmio]

very interesting analisys you made here, but you mistaken Eridani Navy ships top-speed is 7000 km/s, except for the refitted Carrier 6250 km/s and the two newer models of course, which give them a slightly greater advantage towards Soviet Navy

I thought that was a clever in-universe deception:  Jane's Hardware wouldn't actually know the real top speed of military vessels, as the Eridani have actually been pretty fastidious at covering the full extent of their capabilities up when foreign observers were about. For the same reason that the flank speeds of many real-world naval vessels are kept classified.  Of course, I'm sure they're all documented in the Kremlin somewhere. That kind of thing the Soviets were always very, very good at. But a miltech mag? They'll probably have it wrong.

Awesome update as always!

Minor nitpick:
7th September 2041.   2nd sentence you speak of 14 Houma systems.   I think you mean ships.   

You are awsome and no-one cares about grammar.

You mentioned moving Ground Unit TFs from Sol to Eridani. 
To my knowledge you can't actually load the things.  How does that work?

Well its true you can't load them in v5.42

Didn't the Soviets Catch the new top speed by now?

They have had a severe neutronium shortage and were not able to retool. There is already some detail on faster Soviet ships in the next part

Soviet Union vs Eridani(ex-NATO): Antiship Missiles

Excerpt from Jane's all the Galaxy's Weapons

Fascinating article. I hadn't realised just how much the designs of the two mjaor powers had converged.

I meant see on the sensors what the Eridani are capable of.
Given that those had to run from swarm and the like every now and then, and there were cloaked spies sitting in every major system.

Ultimately, they'll notice as soon as the Eridani start hunting for swarm.

I don't know that the russians have a cloaked spy in every system - I thought that they only had two cloaked scouts....

But you never know, even Steve doesn't know where the Russians might be, or when they'll stri-ahhhhhh!
