  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO SelfCloak. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

To add questions raised by Airforce Delta series games.

Lots of questions regarding the enemy's choice of weapon systems come up throughout all of Airforce Delta Strike.

    • How useful to an overall war effort can the OCC's 100+ meter diameter steamrollers be if the entirety of their Area of Operations is one small, winding canyon--with no large enough way in or out--that can be easily circumnavigated?
    • How useful to an overall war effort can the OCC's 100+ meter diameter wind-generator fans be if their ground stabilizer systems can only be deployed at a cliff's edge? Strike's terrain does feature a lot of canyons, but very few have the mesa-top terrain that is flat enough, just the right distance across and stable enough to support these otherwise useless weapons.
    • How useful to an overall war effort can the OCC's 100+ meter diameter, 5-barrel rail-cannon Leupold Battery be when every gun is built in a completely fixed position, trajectory and direction? Once you have bombarded the one area they can hit, they can't target anything else. Just another one that can be easily avoided.
    • Why didn't the EDAF simply send a small contingent of ground forces in to deal with the Tornado Generators? The tornadoes could only be generated around the top of the generators and would dissipate as soon as the machine was turned off. They could not affect tanks or low-angle artillery firing from a few miles' distance.
      • That's actually explained: The testing ground is far behind enemy lines, at a point where only planes can get to them. Of course, there's probably some ground-based, heliborne force that could have easily dealt with them - the local version of the SAS, Green Berets, Spetznaz, etc - and dealt with the generators that way.
