Alright, so in light of this war, I took a glance at my recorded military numbers and noticed one glaring mistake: they're way off. Why? Because they fit a nation with a significantly smaller population than Luna's, and one that wasn't all that heavily militarized, at that. Now, I thought about that one and realized another major issue: I didn't have a set population. Anyway, from there I decided to think of a good population for Luna and to fix my military numbers accordingly. Now, to be entirely honest, I know almost nothing about military things, so there'll almost inevitably be some mistakes -- please let me know what needs fixing so I can update and fix it.

 

Population: 33 million

 

ARMY:

Active duty: 3.7 million

Reserve: 365,000

Tanks: 68,000

Light utility vehicles: 100,000

Amphibious vehicles: 15000 

 

AIR FORCE:

Active duty: 1.2 million

Reserve: 106,000

Fighters: 2400

Bombers: 1550

Transports: 2000

Helicopters: 9100

 

NAVY:

Active duty: 1.9 million

Reserve: 112,000

Aircraft carriers: 27

Amphibious warfare ships: 161

Destroyers: 148

Frigates: 151

Battleships: 87

Transports: 164

Attack submarines: 52

Ballistic missile submarines: 36

 

OTHER:

Short-range missiles: 41

Medium-range missiles: 32

Intermediate-range missiles: 25

ICBMs: 9

Nuclear weapons: 22

 

Other information:

  • A good bit of the Lunar military is nuclear powered; particularly, several of the newer aircraft, ships and submarines are.

 

Out of RP: Luna is rather heavily militarized now because of the number of times we've been invaded -- we'd rather not get caught off guard again, so that's why we have such a large military. That being said, though, as I said at the beginning, I don't really know anything about military information -- this bulletin took a ton of research into IRL nations' numbers, other RP nations' listed numbers, and in fact, literally all the different types of military vehicles and stuff, and asking people who do know something about it. So, please, if there's something that seems off (too high or low), please let me know and I'll fix it, just don't yell at me for being unrealistic, since I actually have no idea and am certainly not trying to be overpowered. Thanks :)

 

Updates: 

  • Lowered population.
  • Lowered population.
  • Lowered population again.
  • Adjusted population for new territorial claims.
  • Adjusted enlistment numbers for conscription policy.

I think not, but I'm not at war with you and don't plan to be anytime in the near future, unless you attack me... even though I left the GENDT, I'm still open to economic and general friendly relations.

No mercy for the traitors: Ex-GENDT members take x2 damage from Deckerton, however they get the chance to steal 100-400 health from him

Ok guys I do 2x damage to you but dw you guys get 400 more damage in 1 round totally fair lets go


Castle people: Deckerton has the ability to build a castle that will block 50% of all damage until it's destroyed

Yes fr let me just cut all ur damage in half rq gg no re


Let me be free: Deckerton will deal 4x damage to all nations located in the british isles
Nahhhhhhhh I'm personally nerfing this ability rn get rekt

New ability:
Let me be trapped: Deckerton will deal -4x damage to Icenia and heal them by attacking them 


Mad Lad: Deckerton will insult the opposing ball taking away half of the opponent's health because of emotional damage

Honestly Perfect ability couldn't agree more very balanced should be added into the actual balldex game
 

5 star chef: Deckerton can summon Gordon Ramsay and hypnotize the opponent for 3 rounds with his food
Naaaahhhhhh Gordon Ramsay doesn't live in Scotland cb gets that ability
