Talk:The Republic of Dragonfire/@comment-27439157-20160113043958

-Weekly Breaking News #2-

Our great republic have several classified experiments that will be shown. The scientists at Dragonfire's defense branch are now researching the possible uses of dioxygen diflouride (AKA: O2F2, FOOF (OOC: Seriously), or Lucifer's Gas) in weaponized environments. It is a gas, capable of lighting most any substance above -300 degrees Farenheit ablaze, or otherwise exploding. The idea to store a weaponized version is to ionize the gas into a plasma, freeze the plasma, place it into a sabot round, and store the rounds in a space chilled to nearly -161 degrees Celsius. The shells are to be used in exoatmospheric combat on ships, and for bunker or tank busting in endoatmospheric settings. Due to the volatility of the chemical, it cannot go very fast, as it would explode. These new shells are undergoing preliminary trials now, and are set to enter service within the year.

-Continuing-

Another new tank is bursting onto Dragonfire front lines today, the DP-8 Liger heavy tank. Armed with a 160 mm cannon, and two anti-infantry rail guns. It has 300 mm of armor composed of graphene, layered over titanium, layered over steel, with titanium taking up the bulk. It is powered by 2 V-12 engines, which can propel it to speeds of 60 mph. It weighs nearly 100 tons, and plans are already in the works to create variants.

The DP-9 Grizzly II has recently been refit with a new turret, Yevata composite armor, and a 230mm railgun.

The armor is now 370 mm thick, with an effective armor of 1850mm, not factoring in slope.

This is my planned version of the DP-9B, which I'll add once the research is complete. Just uploading it now so I can get some critique from CVN, Wolf, and Mace.

-That is all for this week-

''HEIL OUR GREAT DRAGONFIRE, HEIL DRAGOON!! LONG LIVE OUR NATION!''

The power is now handled by a nuclear engine, allowing a higher speed of 90 mph.
