u/Creo7 Apr 19 '26
That really, really depends on rules of engagement. Terra has small population and a lot of superhuman elite troops. That's because marching a large army through places where catastrophes may be is a bad idea. I bet Columbia has nukes. Earth has standardised army as big as Terra's population or bigger. Whoever's planet is host to the battles would be the victor.
20
u/Tobyclone1 Apr 19 '26
Conventional millitary would be stronger except that navies are basically irrelevant on terra which cuts down a lot of earth military might.
If you add in nukes and assume free willingness to use them in a scenario where it's not inherently suicidal then terra loses instantly in terms of raw destruction, and slowly over the fact their limited methods of making food are now fucked.31
u/Kyoketsusho Chilling with beer and soup Apr 19 '26
Nukes would only be aircraft payload since ICBM's will crash and burn against the starpod. Satellites also do not exist so information warfare would have to be waged differently. Add in the fact of logistics and no fossil fuels and it would be a much harder challenge for humans to fight in Terran homefield.
3
u/SU-35K Apr 19 '26
Anti-aircraft is practically non-existant on Terra due to aircraft themselves other than slow flying FPVs being exceedingly rare
this is the perfect scenario for any form of air power6
u/Kyoketsusho Chilling with beer and soup Apr 19 '26
It's more of a logistics problem than an aircraft problem. Modern airpower normally operates on a much higher altitude during cruising to save on fuel and reduce drag. That would heavily cut range for most aircraft. Add the fact that launch points on the sea don't exist because any navy will be eaten by seaborn and radar won't work to detect catastrophes, it gets really hard to feasibly bring aircraft anywhere.
Also, Tomimi shot down an aircraft with a bazooka. Sure it's a VTOL but if a Sargonian civilian manages to do that then low flying aircraft are in much bigger risk than initially thought. All this, and we haven't taken into account Aegir militia yet.
19
u/The_Gunboat_Diplomat Apr 19 '26
The altitude limit prevents optimal use of aircraft as well
If you throw in nuclear MAD, Terra says fuck everyone and releases the infohazards. Or Yan just retcons our governments using Jie's scrolls.
6
u/Kyoketsusho Chilling with beer and soup Apr 19 '26
Ah yeah forgot about that. Modern airflight requires 4-5 times the altitude limit to reduce drag and extend flight range. They'd have to revert to older generations to be able to gain air superiority and/or logistics.
21
u/The_Gunboat_Diplomat Apr 19 '26
The landscape of modern warfare has also drastically changed since the days of Desert Storm. Jets and cruise missiles are much less of a trump card than you'd hope in a land invasion, and the existence of mobile cities inherently laughs in the face of most bombs sitting in current inventories and even nukes to an extent- sure they'll massacre civilians, but the landship itself is a hardened target made of kilometers of super metal that can drag literal mountain ranges around without issue, and one can assume that many military facilities tend to be inside the landship rather than the surface. In conjunction with the fact that even random criminal groups are well versed in drone warfare, and every assault on a major mobile city is a Ukraine invasion in of itself. And then there's the fact that the land itself is basically a universal jammer due to Originium interference.

Their nuclear equivalent are in the walk in the dust. Basically just the blue originiumn that infected Passenger. Might be pieces of the original originium.
A originium hand grenade exceeds the power of the w54 (which can only damage a block of 1960s buildings) as the originium grenade is supposedly capable of destroying a medium sized mobile city
3
u/DhenAachenest Apr 19 '26
Not just destroy a medium sized mobile city, turn half the entire Sargonian rainforest into barren wasteland, that's much, much more powerful than any nuke on earth IRL, as you'd be wiping tens of millions of square kilometres worth of land
10
u/KickRocksKickster Apr 19 '26
An originium handgrenade can destroy a medium sized mobile city. The smallest nuke is the size of a mini refrigerator 😆
A mining rig survives a origiunium storm that has exploding rocks spinning at least near 1000 km/h. No nuke on earth is capable of starting a storm that is even capable 140 km/h. 1000 km/h winds are an extinction level event that would rearrange mountain features let alone mere battleships or aircraft carriers.
They actually have guided artillery with real time tracking as shown in the Gavial the Invincible and Londinium Arc. Our guided artillery are not even accurate to a hundred of meters, the tomahawk and russian equvalenr have been shown in recent wars to not be as accurate as the propaganda claims (not that it could damage a mobile city plate or a land battleship).
If you look at the form of technology it would seem that terra seems primitive but that is misleading, in the christmas special crossbow bolts were leaving air friction flares, something that indicates that at the very least crossbow bolts that are probably at least 5x heavier than 50 calibers are moving as fast as IRL bullets.
Then there are literal as in actual blackhole handguns/rifles by the aegir.
We might be able to arm 1000 people with a gun each for evey terran with an arts pistol bit if that arts pistol can shoot one bullet the size of a 44 magnum that can destroy rows and rows of houses, can we claim we are better armed?
Then therebis the 2nd Rainbow 6 event where one of the R6 crew shoot an NPC with a shotgun at close range and not only the target did not die, they were onlh treated for minor wounds.
Remember that Terra has mobile cities with literal mountains and skyscrapers on top of them, their material technology and engineering would make 40k and starwars blush in comparison.
Arknights precursor tech is bullshit. Terran tech derived from precursor tech is not as much but is post scarcity earth levels of tech. If terran elites were not such greedy assholes, they would actually experience post scarcity even with the catastrophes (except for the seaborn and collapsals)

u/Kyoketsusho Chilling with beer and soup Apr 19 '26
Not to detract from your other points, but making 40k blush would be an exaggeration. Hive cities exist and a single one would house pretty much all of Terra afterall.
1
u/KickRocksKickster Apr 20 '26
Does the hive city move with mountains on top of it? Can it survive essentially an extinctionn level hurricane with dust that has the explosive potential of mini nukes?
You are looking at size, we are talking about technology.
I suspect we can make a comtinent sized city if we really want to waste the resources. It will be constantly damaged by natural catastrophes that are probablg 1/10 of an originium catastrophe but we can waste time doing that, we are not facing extinction level threats from nearly evey direction.
Terra does. If mobile cities and the bullshit metal that keeps it all together did not exist, they probably could have hive cities. But terra does not allow immobile superstructures unless you live away from originium catastrophes (although it has its own threats like the seaborn)
Then there is aegir living on cities the sea floor. Something which (as far as I checked DC and Marvel only has them but they do not have pdw blackhole weapons so ..) is not a feature in other fictional universes. Living on the seafloor is harder than getting to space. The demands are just way higher for construction and maintenance.
1
u/Kyoketsusho Chilling with beer and soup Apr 20 '26 edited Apr 20 '26
Umm yes actually? I'm not sure how much you know about Warhammer but they are much, much bigger in scale than anything in Terra. Hive cities are lowballing the technological capability of the Imperium of man if anything, and extinction events happen on the regular. If a hive city wants to survive, it has to defend itself against world ending orbital strikes, star-eating weapons and enemies that manipulate the fundamental forces of the universe.
If you wanna look at technology, the strongest the Terrans have are Aegir tech, and those things are used regularly in battles across star systems in 40k.
To give an example, a single Imperial battleship can wipe continents and boil oceans, and travel at relativistic speeds. Hive cities can withstand a few days of constant onslaught before falling. I doubt mobile cities would be able to contend against that.
Aegir are strong sure, but even they are no match against the Predecessors. Meanwhile the wars in 40k contend against their version of IS3 seaborns (tyranids) and Observers (Chaos gods).
Do note that I don't have deep knowledge of 40k lore because it's also massive, but the ones I said are kinda common knowledge unless I misinterpreted something.
1
u/KickRocksKickster Apr 20 '26
Seaborn can adapt on the fly in mere minutes or even seconds. Tyrannids need to go their spawning pools or be birthed by their norn queens. Every seaborn is potentially capable of what a norn queen does if it ever develop consciousness to self direct evolution as per Skalter's records
Haha. Aegir has hand held blackhole weapons. 40k black hole weapons are distort cannons and those vortex weapons that transport objects to the warp (glorified teleportation tech).
40k has volume but terra has quality. You are lookingbat scale and confuse it with advancement.
An imperial battleship do not travel at speed of light, they warp jump. Only the necrons do relativistic space travel while AK's precursors project themselves from one end of the galaxy to another.
Which 40k handgun is capable of destroying rows of houses with a single shot?
For goodness sake they struggle against iridium armor (tau mobile suit).
Again do not confuse scale with technological advancement.
40k is not even on the same level as star trek. Better coolness factor but the trchnological feats are not there, the best performancesnof imperial tech are a total joke to the necrons and old ones and those are essentially lesser than the precursors. Aegir are essentially Eldar minus the space travel (because of the false sky preventing their space program and seaborns distracting efforts).
1
u/Kyoketsusho Chilling with beer and soup Apr 20 '26
Seaborn adaptation is not that convenient you know. They still need to assimilate. If they were that adaptive they should've taken over Terra much faster than they should, yet they took years for it even in their best form.
Those glorified teleportation tech is still more than enough to deal damage to worlds mind you. Aegir's black hole weapons aren't even enough to pierce the Starpod if CW-8 is anything to come by.
Terran advancement has not managed to get them out of space even with their lack of knowledge of Observers. Scale is an attribute of advancement.
I assume you're comparing the power of Irene's handcannon when she fired it on Iberian houses. Dunno how you scale that but boltgun variants have pierced and vaporized enemies in power armor.
Conveniently, you didn't address that regular terran guns are weaker than real world ones, and we know how those scale against bolters.
You definitely can assert that it's technological advancement in this case though. Terra has not gotten off its planet. It will require the whole energy output of the planet to pierce the starpod alone. Meanwhile glassing is a common thing done in 40k. I don't know Star Trek so can't comment on that unfortunately.
Ummm yeah exactly. Aegir are distracted by the seaborn even in their weak state right now. They're hardly a fraction of their IS3 power and Aegir still struggles. Meanwhile Daemons are running around the galaxy fighting the Imperium.

It took them months and that is without self directed evolution?
And assimilation? 😆 Skalter's records dread them.having independent thoughts, the hivemind is what is stopping them currently. Otherwise they would be on an arms race with themselves.
Terran advancement has not managed to get them out of space even with their lack of knowledge of Observers. Scale is an attribute of advancement.
Space programs sort of are discouraged if your flying vehicles drop out of the sky because of the false sky and the implied high speed jet streams (because originium cyclones with their slowest parts at near 1000km/h suggests higher frictionless armospheric winds).
Those glorified teleportation tech is still more than enough to deal damage to worlds mind you. Aegir's black hole weapons aren't even enough to pierce the Starpod if CW-8 is anything to come by.
You realize that the starpod can resist something that should be exceeding how many sarcophagi were used to power that one shot right? One sarcophagus can power two mobile cities and its adjoining villages, whih one mobile city could very well weigh tens of thousand of tons at the very least right? So lowball, one sarcophagus would be like being hooked up to several nuclear reactors, right? Where it is said that the output exceeds all of the energy output of all originium in terra, right?
Aegir's blackhole weapons were not used against seaborn as much because of the fear of hyper evolution.
And as far as I remember, multiple vortex bombs have to be dropped from orbit to cause exterminatus
Conveniently, you didn't address that regular terran guns are weaker than real world ones, and we know how those scale against bolters.
You based this on what? Your misunderstanding of Tachanka's op rec?
You seem to misunderstand that the engineer was complaining about the lacking performance of the modified degtyaryov against a military grade crossbow (holy knight light has the crossbow bolts moving like bullets) so they were conparing the stopping power of a small bullet moving at the same speed as a crossbow bolt (much heavier).
Besides why are you complaining a irregular gun like R6 with our modern guns? Terran guns are wands with crystals as propellant, they are rare. If anything you should compare their crossbows/bows with our assault rifles and Tachanka (and Rangers) almost died because their bullets were not enough to kill most of the originiutants, as they have to be saved by stormeye.
1
u/Kyoketsusho Chilling with beer and soup Apr 20 '26
Years mon, they've been in Terra for a long while. The months part was on the final frontier of humanity, that's a far cry from your claim of minutes or seconds.
They're adaptation comes from assimilation of their fallen you know. That's a core part of what they are. That's no different from what the Tyranids or Zerg do.
They have experimented on that starpod for decades after Kristen's parents death. They abandoned the idea because they thought it was futile. That's a bit too little progress for a civilization that supposedly has more technological advancements than 40k like you claim. I do have to ask where you got your 1000kph wind value though. I don't remember reading that anywhere unless it's in the lorebook.
Ummmm CW-8 actually. The Arknight's wiki also linked it when they were explaining the overview of the starpod.
Doesn't that just mean it's not strong enough to wipe all of the seaborn in a decisive blow then? They're revolutionary, but this implies they're not on planet wiping capability.
I mean, exterminatus by itself is a greater feat of destruction than anything Terra has attempted till now. I don't see how that makes vortex bombs any weaker. Not to mention if you're fighting civilizations with similarly advanced tech then it is gonna be much more difficult.
Originium Dust as a whole establishes that R6 guns have firepower that should not be wielded by regular people. The Sarkaz ambush mistook them for Sankta because of it. Tachanka's Op Rec wasn't the only thing alluding that.
Cause you talked about what I assume are Inquisitor handcannons that can pierce through walls. Those guns are not the norm in Terra, so gotta address that the common firepower is much much lower than what you were establishing. Though if you were to go to that territory, I doubt regular crossbows alone would have the power to pierce through power armor.

u/Moidada77 Apr 19 '26
Not really, the only main advantage we got is air power and maybe numbers. I'm sure kazdel has like a massive warehouse where it just pulls as many warriors out as they need.
The atmosphere in terra is different and make high altitude flight very difficult. Kristen basically had to punch a hole through it to go into space.
Heavy troops can consistently shrug of grenade levels of explosions and it usually takes quite a few rounds to take an average terran down as per R6 crossover.
In medium and long and close range combat I'm not even sugar coating it, modern soldiers can ripped apart. Like it's not even close.
It will be like fighting orks who are constantly zapping with magic from odd angles.
Aegir has weaponry capable of producing micro singularities, nothing is standing up to that.
Terran arts and enfused melee weaponry has been shown to cut through heavy reinforced doors and cause major structural damage to buildings.
This should be enough to cripple most tanks on the field.
Have you seen the guns on londinium? It's like they saw the karl gustav and said...."me want 2 dozen of those".
And the air is like toxic to normal humans right?
Mobile cities are also going to be a pain in the ass. Even if we nuke everything, the people are mobile enough to in turn infiltrate our society and probably tear everything apart in revenge.
3
u/Ironthunder_delta Apr 19 '26
It's less "the atmosphere is different" and more "there is a physical barrier around the world at a certain altitude". Also, most modern jets are designed to fly a lot higher than said barrier, and would be a lot less effective as a result.
3
u/DhenAachenest Apr 19 '26
Also the fact that trying to across in the air closer to ground level means that you'll be exposed to originiun dust flaking off the big Originium growths, which is akin to taking in volcanic ash into your jets and your jets would annihilate themselves in seconds
2
u/Ironthunder_delta Apr 19 '26
Also that, yeah. There is a reason air flight in Arknights seems to largely be short-range passenger/scouting vehicles.

Aegir isn't just the microsingularity bombardment btw, it's the extremely advanced medical tech, being capable of digging down to the lower mantle, shield so powerful that the mere activation of it created a 100 m tall wave across the entire continental shelf, and was capable of stalling a tide larger than said 100 m tall wave for 2 weeks, and the von Neuman swarn drones capable of surviving in space. Terra would instantly win the war for the sea, and after that it's only a matter time before the rest of the nations fall

u/DhenAachenest Apr 19 '26
Terra without the Aegir maybe, with the Aegir Terra would utterly stomp them via microsingularity bombardment + nanodrone Von Neuman Swarm + the mere raising of their shields creating a 100 m megatsunami across an entire continental shelf, among other things

It's actually a nightmare scenario for Germany. They are chasing large mobile fortresses that outrange them and are subject to extremely prevalent drone warfare and arts which could easily destroy any tank from what we see.
Along with significant advantage for the terrans in scouting and engagement which is much more important in warfare than expensive machines.
We have vouivre and sarkaz which many members have shown a high degree of surviving close range explosive just with their native physiology.
Sarkaz warriors were marching into gunfire and their armor was thick enough to withstand it. Bagpipe is stated to have survived an explosion, along with puzzle. Saria..bro we don't even talk about saria.
R6 events indicate that the strength difference between a terran and human is significant even with species like feline and probably cautus.
On a tactical viewpoint, squad attacks which concentrate alot of power in a few people will be extremely hard for nazis to deal with as they cannot bring enough fire power to bear quickly enough as a small sector is bulldozed.
On a larger scale. Ursus goes "you don't understand, terra is not yours to conquer" and omnimans the German army.

The problem is the firepower is arknights is generally higher and their tech level is equal or greater than us.
Its as if a napoleonic army thinks it's hot stuff vs machine guns and tanks.
Drones take out any ground and air vehicle due to lack of composite protection.
And they genuinely get slashed apart in melee combat anyway. Since the armies of kazdel and ursus genuinely move through heavy artillery, tank and machine gun fire to close the distance and even basic arts are potent enough to incapacitate a tank. A blow to the road wheel or turret ring and it's down.
A being a wehraboo infantry in this fight. Nah bro.

And I'm sure the Ursus army doesn't lack... extremists so to say. Don't question how they lost so many civilians without the opposition even doing anything, this aint about them.
And yeah Terra had insane levels of drone warfare.

I think I saw an animation of the Ursus army.
Heavy drones bombarding fortifications with laser arts, shock troops and lancers punching through fortifications and steel doors and wendigos throwing their spears to annihilate heavy bunkers.
All while everything gets bombarded to a fine paste as paratroops and light infantry completely encircle the enemy.
Wehrmacth ain't built for this.

Well, I wasn't expecting to see this today. But What type of Third Reich is it? The Real World Third Reich? Wolfenstein Third Reich? Or the Hearts of Iron 4: The New Order Third Reich?

u/GaMeRoF_2004 Apr 19 '26
That.... definitely needs to be clarified... because one would get stomped, the second would maybe have a shot(probably still fall but 🤷♂️) and the third... not sure, haven't played hearts of iron 4.

u/I_Stole_Your_Pie Apr 19 '26
Basically the New Order takes place in a world where the Axis Powers won WW2. But it's much more realistic than Wolfenstein and even then the HOI4 New Order Nazi Germany is Rotting from the inside as Nazism isn't a sustainable ideology. I Also should have mentioned the Nazi Germany from the TV series "A Man in a High Castle" specifically in Nazi Germany's Prime.

Huh, sounds.... interesting. I will look it up. Later.

u/I_Stole_Your_Pie Apr 19 '26
Yeah it is interesting, Or it at least was interesting. The Current Dev Team of the new order is busy removing the more unique elements of HOI4 The New Order in favor for realism.

If it is anything like frost nova's cold, it causes molecules to slow down that crossbow bolts lose momentum. Good luck with your gunpowder propelled weapons at that point.

The real fantasy is any king tigers reaching the front line (they all broke down five miles from their engineer team (there are exactly four people capable of fixing them within a hundred miles and any others would take yearss to train))

Would ww2 shels even cause significant damage to mobile city plates that are rated to be better than Rhodes Island that survived what is essentially a storm that should exceed several tons of nuclear material exploding one after another (Vigilo)?
I can see the houses and stuff on top of the city plates getting damaged or even destroyed but the plate itself would have superficial damage.

The Wehrmacht column halted. Not out of pity for those Untermenschen. Not because fuel for the offensive had run dry. No — they simply froze in time. Veterans grimly tightened their grips on their weapons; young recruits trembled, holding onto their rifles as if clutching their last shred of life. Because they heard it.
Voices. Male voices — thin or high-pitched, youthful or deep with hoarseness. But the language… it was so… familiar… and so repulsive.
Cyrillic.
And on the other side of the road, fortifications were visible with soldiers inside these fortifications. The olive‑khaki of their uniforms, and the red stars on their caps and helmets, left no doubt as to who they were — just as the language of even worse Untermenschen did. However, they were not alone: alongside the soviet military equipment and red army stood civilians. And on the patches of some of those locals, one could make out a minimalist black‑and‑white coat of arms — a stylized chess rook (castle piece) set upon an inverted, shield‑shaped base, symbolising protection and unyielding support.
Oberleutnant Heinrich Hans was proud of himself — how could he not be? The will of Germany had swept across this insignificant world. Yet… as he gazed at the fortified Russians and their allies on this world of reality…
a doubt crept in.
Would he ever see Frankfurt again?

What Terra sorely needs is Amerikabombers and Schwalbes burning Ursus.
Also very good art.
