Also. Can we add a bracket to determine tech levels?

Since I am pretty sure the Empire of Lithuania persay - won't be wielding main battle-tanks if it appears like a theocratic state at the moment.

I don't feel like adding a specific "Tech Level" area in Character Sheets is needed, but making it optional could work.

@EveryMemeAKing

Well. You won't be wielding submarines or nuclear power plants. If the people whom know about those fields of science and engineering died in the nuclear fire.

So far, I have been the only one - whom has stated and explained how my society managed to retain Old World Knowledge. Not only in using 21st Century tech, but also improving on it. And slowly developing more themselves.

I mean, the east would be tank land, flat, open terrain. I can see someone scavving russian and German tanks. Like Leopard 2a4/5s or some T-80s/90s. Unless you were virtually untouched by the bombs I don’t see how people can progress past what was there.

IMHO- I think your tech should depend on where you are and what was there before you. For example, if you take the Pacific, you should expect to find a lot of ships that could be repaired and canabilized for parts. Likewise for your land powers ( Germany, France) I would expect to find main battle tanks.

In terms of retaining information, yes some would be lost but a good majority of it could still be found and retained. In the nuclear reactor example, you might not be producing nuclear scientists but you will have people who know how and a reactor works enough to use one.

@Apollo26

Perhaps. But four centuries of rust, fallout and rats - will knock out any highly-advanced vehicle.

Those things need maintenance after all.

@necroKnight

Not as much as you think, apart from these things being built to be resistant to the elements. Yes the finer points of gun stabilizers and infrared sights might need re-calibration or repair. The tank will still move, shoot and be a tank though.

Clean and flush the engine, sand off rust and put fuel in it. Unless it literally sat in a bog for four centuries....it’ll work

For comparison, the majority of the aircraft and ships that militaries from around the world use are at least 30-40 years old

The battleship your using ( unless it’s brand new) would be a refit if either a British battleship circa 1945 or American also circa 1945 buy modernised to 1990s tech

@Apollo26

Yeah. But I would have the knowledge and industry to upgrade and keep them going.

We're talking about them sitting four hundred years in the elements. Let a sword sit in the elements for that long, see if it still able to be used?

Even at our current level IRL - I wouldn't know the first thing on how to operate, check for damage or even get parts to repair a tank.

Now take that with people, whom haven't likely seen one for centuries. Whom likely lack the knowledge of where and how to check a tank. Not to mention the industrial capacity to even manufacture those parts.

Or what a tank is or is supposed to do?

@NecroKnight

Well any stored equipment wouldn’t just be left out in the rain, it would most likely be sealed in storage, or somewhere safe from elements. ( beside the point)

You don’t exactly need to be an expert to use a tank, anyone and hop in a figure it out. ( how do you think they do it in Afghanistan?) chances are, there is someone that knows how to do most everything you can think of. I can’t believe that everyone would be completely ignorant.

This is also post apocyltia, you shouldn’t be manufacturing anything. Nukes are big and destroy cities, burn out electronics. Industry is target priority one during war. If anyone has any industry left, it’s either makeshift or very well hidden. That being said, you will be canibalizing parts from destroyed equipment.

People would get better at scavenging and fixing equipment in a post apocalyptic world, since there is no other choice. Even if a destroyed one is sitting around, someone will see it and wonder “ how does this work”

@Apollo26

In that same regard, wouldn't those military installations where tanks be stored hit first and most of their circuity burned out?

(Also what do you mean? In Afgan, you have trained individuals operating those things - not any random Joe. Also most Soviet tanks were shot to pieces by the Mujadeen back in their days). True - how many do you think survived the collapse of civilization? Not ignorant precisely, just ignorant of certain high-level technological things.

True. But you should watch some Post-Humanity documentaries - they can explain in detail how fragile our system is actually.

Also. Shall we start another a collab?

If I could colab from my phone I would hahah but. I can’t access RPG at work lol

Afghan Taliban and Mujahadeen had access to old T-55 tanks at the beginning of our conflict. They were self taught, same with all the ZSU AAA guns and all the other heavy equipment around the area.

The US has since destroyed all of it. But yes you are right but equipment depots would be hit, but remote supply posts away from the front would be intact.

All it takes is one person to fuck around with something long enough to get an idea for it. He tells peopl, they screw around with it. Before you know it, you have a tank crew!

@Apollo26

Perhaps. Not as good as the real deal.

Also. As co-GM, this will be your theme song:

Sooooooo tempted to open at work

@Apollo26

XD. Excellent.

@Apollo26

Perhaps. Not as good as the real deal.

Also. As co-GM, this will be your theme song:

Ahh Sabaton.

Though, I personally prefer this gem.

@EveryMemeAKing

So. Shall we collab?

@EveryMemeAKing

So. Shall we collab?

If we do, it'll have to be tomorrow, but I'd be up for it.

@EveryMemeAKing

Aight. Tomorrow it is then. Prepare your winter coats.....

Speaking of which, since the sea level has risen. How snowy and frozen is Greenland?

Yeah, I was under the impression I was the least technologically advanced, since the baltic basically got bombed back into the Iron Age after 4 centuries of nuclear winter and rising sea levels in the exclusion zone.

@Nerevarine

Your close location to Russia, would have guaranteed bombardment back to the stone age.

@EveryMemeAKing

Greenland is relatively similar climate wise to Canada OTL, with the lower parts being similar to areas like Toronto, and northern Greenland being extremely cold.
