Quote:Originally posted by Thegn: ... the plume from a missile during boost-phase looks like a round ball of flame if the boost is hot enough and far enough away. The green color, however, is not indicative of missile exhaust.

Quote:Originally posted by TragicStory: Loonytoon,Yes, there are many types of ammunition for a tank. Well, actually there are only two. KET and HEAT. KET (Kenetic Energy Transfer) relys on kenetic energy to puncture a hull,(think railgun) HEAT (High Energy Anti-Tank) relys on impact detonated explosives (think sticky c-4)

Quote:Originally posted by Thegn: Not exactly. Particle Beams would be uneffected by the optical properties of a target's armor. And the only lasers that would be effected by a mirror coating would be optical lasers.
Quote:Originally posted by Thegn: Also there are ways that the beam of both lasers and PB could be directed. Particle Beams, for instances, could be directed by using two sets of magnetic plates to adjust the direction of the beam in the x and y. And the further the distance the target is the less energy it would require to aim it. And it could be aimed very precisely and very quickly. Furthermore, the beam would retain a considerable amount of coherency over long distances so it could actually be a very effective weapon at long range.

Quote: Side note... could you heat up air enough for it to break down into it's basic elements and combust? Like water in to H and O.
