Does one really need a magnetic elevator to vertically catapult planes into the air at 9g?
U.S. Navy’s Costliest Carrier Was Delivered Without Elevators to Lift Bombs

In other words pic related.
What the fuck is wrong with America? Can we ally with someone else?!?
Brandon King
Because no one else wants to take you in and we're obligated to protect you because we're attached by the hip. Now shut your yap and drink your malk, daddy America needs to find a way to combine two super magnets into a perpetual moving engine to power a billion dollar helicopter carriers all the while cooled by downgraded jet fuel reserves for cost saving reasons.

So it would be the first working stealth ship!
Adrian Baker
Fuck that I'm allying with the ant people.

Sure the F-35 Merkel can perform the role of elevator for them.

The turbine engine is one of the greatest assets of the Abrams. The only problem with it was fuel consumption during idle which, while it took an embarrassingly long time to get an APU that wasn't retarded and mounted on the back of the tank over the tail light, they did finally get right with one that sat on the back of the turret bustle stowage rack. While on a road march or in combat maneuvers, the turbine engine is more efficient than a conventional piston or diesel engine in terms of weight, horse power and YES fuel efficiency per ton. Not to mention that its nearly silent and leaves no diesel plume or dust cyclone behind it.
Those are nice numbers but an argument like that is like saying why bother with training your men and giving them more than a sharpened stick when they can be killed by a child with a hand grenade?
Christ even Ai's created by the Imperium can be corrupted by chaos because they are more alive than the tau.
Ian Cook
Orks can’t be corrupted by Chaos either
But that’s mostly because any Ork that openly worships a god besides Gork & Mork is going to be krumped something fierce by the other orks

Isn't that kinda self defeating when it has an infrared-signature BEHIND cover?

How come that if we compare the M1 abrams with the Leopard 2, which have similar weight, power and power to weight, we come to the exact opposite conclusion.
