Not sure even 10 of these archaic APCs would matter much in the end, war would likely end on a similar time-table as it did.

The multiple engines would move the ship around better than sails during a close battle, besides, they wouldn't have to go out far into the sea, more of a port blockade and most importantly, a moral destroyer for the British.

Hotair ballon would be great too, more for position spying than artillery dropping.


Hot air balloon is a great idea, but I would have to do it the very old and dangerous way of having a damn fire aboard, lol. I know the chinese had natural gas systems in place, but not the Americans: it would take too long to start the natural gas system...and making propone and then pressurizing that into tanks. However, we COULD pressurize it....hmmm...

I'd have to think about the hot air balloon thing, more.


But, yeah, the first gen APC I'd make would be slow, 5-10 Mph. That should be more the sufficient enough, I think, with an escort.


Also, making an automatic would be relatively easy with existing technology, imo.



You know, I COULD make an elaborate system of belts and pulleys (with a fan) to power the APC. It could be all man powered, lol.


But that seems much harder than building my own engine from scratch.

And, no, a single APC that gets about at 10Mph would be more than adequate enough.

Instead of 2 days, it would take me 12 days to travel across most of the US colonies. (1200 miles using existing roads for primary travel. These days, I could cut that time down to 10 days at 10 miles per hour...if I assume I can take the highway.)


Edit -

Here's a nice weight and velocity to HP converter...but that is assuming a perfect system.

http://www.ajdesigner.com/phphorsep..._horsepower.php

1500 Kg system would take less than 1 HP to move at 10Mph.

I disagree as I think it would take closer to 150 to move things about at the speed I want.


It says for a 2000Kg system, I would need 43 HP to move at 50Mph. 2000kg is getting close to the absolute ceiling for the mass of my APC.

STFU, you'd probably fight for the South in the Civil War.

According to Mr. T, there are three kinds of "niggas". House-Niggas, Field-Niggas and Soldier-Niggas.

His words, not mine. He says he's of the soldier variety.

Dang.


I do not know Mr. T well enough to know that stuff.

Link to it? Does he do stand-up or something?

You must choose a war from the past to fight in, for a period of one year. Obviously he will magically transport you back in time to fight in this war. You will be a lowly private, on the front lines, fighting as an American soldier in the Army. After the year is up, if you are still alive, you will be magically transported to the exact time that you left. You may not use your knowledge of the future to benefit yourself (dadudemon).


Here are your choices of which War to fight in:

American Revolution (You can be a Colonial or Militia)

American Civil War (Which side)

WWI

WWII

Vietnam war



Which war would you choose, and why?

Alright.
WWII.
For sure. I have always loved the style of fighting, and the reasoning it came with.
Plus the things people went through and had to suffer was absolutely brutal, I would have loved it.

All, in all it was a beautiful war.

I'd fight in a different war.

First I'd join the "evil dude" and convince him to give me magical powers. After wards I'd be his right hand women to gain his trust. Then with the powers of ectraction or Legilimens I'd find his weakness, then i'd avada kedavra his ass.

If the extraction or Legilimens didn't work on him i'd simply stay on his side until a point i'd join the good guys and still avada kedavra his ass.
