The altitude? A hundred cubits AGL.
The speed? M 0.95.
The opposition? Unaware.
The weapons? Locked in.

BOMBER DESIGN TYPE-22 "RUSTLER" OF THE FEDERAL MIDLANDS MANDATE AIR FORCE

FIRST RIDER FOR THE WORLD'S LAST BOMBING RUN

TWIN WHINES OF AFTERBURNING TURBINE ENGINES, STERILE TANDEM COCKPIT (EXTRA SICK BAGS ARE STOWED DOWN AND ON YOUR RIGHT)

An anthropomorphized shipgirl of the FFG-47, better known as the the Sablecourt class Air Defence Frigatte from #cocaineverse. Her uniform is played close to the spiritual source, the revolutionary french navy. Hence the flashy colors and single epaulet of Lieutenant. Double epaulets are reserved for Captains and Admirals, or BBs and CVs respectively. She holds a SCANFAR lightgun for Air Defence and carries a nuclear tipped Kingfisher Emerald missile for home defence. Unsurprisingly it is a USS Longbeach analogue, so she wears her big goofy scanfar like a big goofy hat, with an illuminator mimicking lighthouse iconography. The lighthouse being the rallying emblem of those that opposed the military coup of the general staff. Likewise her large belt knot is a nod to constitutionalist gatherings in the 800s.

FROM THE GRAY SEA, THE LIGHTNING

Designing a Shipgirl in the in the spirit of revolutionary french navy was quite a challenge, but honestly, I kind of like the flashy colours.

Also Hello to all you new people here!

Either way, another cocaineverse anime art entry for #cutiesaturday.

A 3d render of two different types of boxes. One depicts the HMS Haunt, a fictional submarine. The other depicts the BB-61 Maquoketa, a fiction warship. The boxes vaguely resemble real life model kits, but are entirely made in 3D software.

Now that bsky is open, I ought to make a big flashy hello post

Now that I have 25 followers, I ought to make a big flashy follower special

Now that I think about it, I ought to announce my worldbuilding project with big flashy bang

So much to draw!
In the meantime here's Haunt and Mackie together

MBT Development Of The Republic An overview of the main battle tank in the Sunset Lands Republic, from the Great War to the current day. Discusses development and upgrades in the Republic, but leaves out service history and foreign ...

Right, it's finally done, here are 5k words about some of the tanks I made up for my setting.

thank u eragon

And over 5000 km in practice, counting the range of the missiles themselves, then return to base, although the nature of the nuclear stalemate in the post-war era meant that the A-29s would be unlikely to find bases to return to in case of conflict

SE, modified

The large amount of fuel, along with extremely clean aerodynamics and the extremely efficient CHI T33 engines equipped with specially-designed large-diameter propellers, allowed extreme endurance, being able to patrol for over 24 hours, then strike a target over 3000 km away

The A-29 was the crowning achievement of Imperial aeronautics in the wake of the Great War, being the largest aircraft ever designed in Serenity when it first flew in 952. Every plane could carry six "Fire Lance" nuclear-tipped cruise missiles, eight "Blue Duck" decoys, along with 185 tons of fuel

Birds of Prey - a pair of I-105 Broadhead high-altitude interceptors flying patrol at high altitude over the Rugajmontoj peninsula in late 939, a few months before the beginning of the Great War

It's not very well known but the discretionary budget of the average fantasy fief is so small that even a single instance of elvish child support can bankrupt it

The weapon was tracked optically by the bomber, aided by a pyrotechnic flare in the tail assembly, and manual guidance corrections were issued through radio link. Very accurate, esp. compared to normal high-altitude bombing, but requiring constant training for best effect.

Digital artwork of mine, SE, heavily edited

Type-classified as GAB-55, the weapon was rated to penetrate up to 100 cubits (44 m) of earth or 10 cubits (4.4 m) of reinforced concrete, destroying the target either with direct impact of its 1200 kg high-explosive warhead, or by camouflet undermining in case of a near-miss

A National Guard Sea Command missile frigate (likely the Tempest-class SCS Noreaster) fires a KAM-3J Divine Patriot surface to air missile during the opening phases of the Battle for the Northern Seas in 949

nowadays her hull sits at a slight list (less than 25°) and at the center of a rather tight (around 150m) scatter field, having become an artificial reef, making her final resting place and wreck a beloved spot for advanced scuba divers

@gestaltzerfall.bsky.social thank ya for coming to my ted talk

as for the HIMS Haunt herself, she sunk shortly after the evacuation had been completed, settling under ninety-eight meters of water, twenty-six kilometers offshore
