"If you wanted to teach a baby a lesson, would you cut its head off? Of course not. You'd paddle it. There can be circumstances when it's just as foolish to hit an enemy city with an H-bomb as it would be to spank a baby with an axe. War is not violence and killing, pure and simple; war is controlled violence, for a purpose. The purpose of war is to support your government's decisions by force. The purpose is never to kill the enemy just to be killing him...but to make him do what you want him to do. Not killing...but controlled and purposeful violence.
There are a dozen different ways of delivering destruction in impersonal wholesale, via ships or missiles of one sort or another, catastrophes so widespread, so unselective that the war is over because that nation or planet has ceased to exist. What we do is entirely different. We make war as personal as a punch in the nose. We can be selective, applying precisely the required amount of pressure at the specified point at a designated time. We've never been told to go down and kill or capture all left-handed redheads in a particular area, but if they tell us to, we can. We will.
We are the boys who will go to a particular place, at H-hour, occupy a designated terrain, stand on it, dig the enemy out of their holes, force them then and there to surrender or die. We're the bloody infantry, the doughboy, the duckfoot, the foot soldier who goes where the enemy is and takes them on in person. We've been doing it, with changes in weapons but very little change in our trade, at least since the time five thousand years ago when the foot sloggers of Sargon the Great forced the Sumerians to cry "Uncle!"
I'm not sure I agree, something to remember is that a Mecha in general doesn't fit inside a building making it a lot less useful in urban combat. A mecha is like a tank or a f-16. I also feel like we often loose sight of the Heinlien quotes below when talking about combat.
That's not something I feel a mecha can do effectively. Sure, it can do a lot of things to help, but their not infantry in the same way that a tier 5 PA is. PA is certainly the infantry of the universe, but that's about it. Anything above Tier 5 or so isn't really infantry anymore.
Still this is all in pvp terms, which doesn’t happen aside from your plans.
But you can still make anti pa and mech rockets for infantry, and like i said before t5 or 6 rockets will still damage a t8 mech just a lot more slowly
Yam rule number one. There is no amount of Nekos we are unwilling to send to win.
