Yukkuri how do you do it? what magic sauce are you on? I want some of that.

 

[kronix]

this manga is kinda silly, everyone knows what would happen if you introduce modern warfare into these isekai settings... shit gets blown the fuck up.

I think I spotted a mistake. This entire chapter seems to have come from the GATE manga.

 

[b0nss]

killing wyverns with Standards capable of intercepting fast-moving aircraft, cruise missiles and ballistic missiles is overkill, but it's the point of this manga.

 

[Ma-kun]

So ciamik

 

[YukkuriOniisan]

@RaifuWizard Caffeine from lots and lots and lots of coffee... Also, I got a raise in the wage and job hierarchy position. Viva freedom!

@Eonlars *insert ievan polka song...*

@kronix This is not Japan's final form...

@xyzzy there will be more...

@b0nss I think the Weapons Officer just want to fire the missile... I'll do the same if I was in his position... even if a missile cost more than several years of my paycheck...

It didn't really shown the 4k fleets.

 

[UnieCetterie]

I really want to see Japan use some F-35A instead of the F-15J.

Just don't crash then into the sea.

Edit: (Just to correct some spelling error)

 

[Euphaire]

Yeah, let's capture the survivors so we could hang them later! I think the resource will be better spent if they leave them there as a fish feed.

 

[Ironclad]

@UnieCetterie Too soon mate

 

[lswgamer]

Could it really be? No war crimes? In a japanese embroidery patchwork series?

 

[GruntZone360]

Okay Good

 

[junlian]

Feels like reading Zipang and Gate together...

Some fun stuff. You'd generally want to hit light targets with lighter weapons e.g. machine guns, CIWS, autocannons, AGLs, AA guns, etc.

For IRL example on why, see the Chinese communist campaign on Hainan Island. Basically, the CCP screamed Leeroy Jenkins and rushed the KMT with a fleet of wooden transport fleets. The KMT had a proper navy with actual military vessels. When they fired, the armor piercing shells tended to go straight through the wooden vessels and detonate beyond, without damaging the ship. In addition some of the ships were so low in the water the naval guns were unable to depress low enough to hit them. The KMT then attempted to board and capture the wooden ships, upon which they ironically became outgunned because the communists jury-rigged artillery pieces to fire shells at point blank range. End result KMT lost their flagship and the communists somehow lost no boats.

TL;DR the KMT's navy got defeated by a fleet of literal junks because lightly armored vehicles hold up surprisingly well against dedicated armor piercing weaponry. The whole Hainan island episode is actually a hilarious sequence of inadvertant actions by both sides.

I can foresee a problem in the future.... they're going to run out of their missiles and projectiles eventually (especially since they buy a lot of that from the US in reality). and then they'll be pretty powerless and will have made powerful enemies.

 

[Razgrizone]

Japan stronk!!! They can do no bad and have never did anything bad!!!

@tailor31415

They've likely got some own production capabilities, and wartime production can be pretty good at adapting to producing whatever they need, as long as they have the technology & resources.

@b0nss

From what I saw, they didn't use a lot of missiles against the wyverns, relying on the 'splash effect' from the detonations to eliminate the most.
