>>28555128
I'd actually guess they might employ chemical agents of some sort. Especially given the danger of the smaller creatures, simply coating the area in gas, after evaluation, might be the best solution. Minimizes damage to the area, keeps the body relatively intact, and after a few days/weeks, the area could be decontaminated.

>>28555128
>How would the US Army take care of that thing?
All it'd take is bigger bullets like AP tank rounds.
It'd be like shooting a cow with a 22 magnum, might not take it right down, but it'll die quickly to repeat hits or any well placed shot.
Also, anything that goes boom violently or with a shaped charge would absolutely annihilate the thing.

Shoot it once with .45acp

>>28555128
if it was just one of these things i guess a 2000 pound bomb, or if all else fails, a GBU-57A/B could deal with it fairly easily

why use a kinetic weapon against a soft target?

HE is what you want.

retard. He shells are intended to take out multiple soft targets per shot or to kill soft targets without a direct hit. When you are shooting at a godzilla sized motherfucker a he shell wont even penetrate the though as hell skin. You need penetrator ammunition to go trough the skin and damage its vital organs which are deep inside of any living creature.

Expecting it to have a super duper though skin you would need the most penetrating weapon you can think off. So some plane dropped bunker-buster bomb meant to destroy bunkers 50m underground should do the trick just fine.

>>28555433
how about APHE? Or HEAT?

No life form could even begin to survive anything they were throwing at it IRL.
It couldn't even survive it's hunger, it'd be using so much energy to move, it'd never even be able to eat enough to live.

>>28555452
That would do the trick just fine IMO however tanks these days as far as im aware rarely carry heat ammunition or aphe as they simply rely on APDSFS rounds to take hostile armor and he or he-frag rounds to kill infantry exception being tanks that have atgms which are basicly HEAT. Perhaps infantry carried weapons which are always heat would do the trick.

> You need penetrator ammunition to go trough the skin

No you don't. If you were hit by an HE shell, it wouldn't bounce off of you. Assuming it wasn't a plot-armor monster, it's skin would not be difficult to penetrate.

But a tank round compared to that monster IS tiny, especially APFSDS. So what you DON'T want to do is sit there pin-pricking him, you wan't something that will cause maximum trauma, so you would go with HE.

ah yes maximum trauma. That is an huge motherfucker with skin thick ashell. What goes after skin? muscle. He shells arent meant to penetrate anything whatsoever theyre meant to blow shit up. What you might achieve is a slight cut or just give it a litteral bruise.

Well it's true it couldn't but not because of the lack of nutrition.

Most of the energy we use is to regulate body temp. There were pretty big monsters on earth in the past, but it was not due to them getting enough food, but the higher concentration of oxygen in the atmosphere. Especially insects. There used to be dragon-fly type organisms with eagle-size wingspans.

More than a B-52. Whenever they're used in combat, they fly all the way to Afghanistan from the United States and back. I feel bad for the pilots but it's a very impressive aircraft.

>>28555673
whats wrong about it?

>>28555536
They literally have a dial on the front you turn with a key to set the fuse delay. An HE shell set to low delay can punch into a house and go off inside, an HE shell set to full delay goes quite a bit further...

one B-52 or B-1 or B-2 or a wing of F/A-18's or F-15E's or F-16's or whatever other aircraft. Drop a few dozen laser/gps guided 2000 lb bombs on it. Or maybe make it a nice mix of bunker-busters, HE, cluster bombs, etc.

Seriously, no monster could survive that, realistically speaking.

>>28555699
Oxygen concentrations limit the size of insects due to their crude methods of absorbing oxygen. For things with lungs the limit's a lot larger, otherwise you and I would be dead. As for how large? Blue Whales exist.

If it wasn't a movie monster, it wouldn't be able to take all of that ordnance.

Assuming reasonably that this thing's skin is NOT in fact the densest material on earth as it is portrayed in the film, you'd probably be able to take it down with a box or two from an M2 or a couple dozen 40mm grenades.

>>28555690
I don't think that's correct. My dad would land in Guam.

>>28555699
See this
>>28555726
In the days of the Titansaurods the oxygen level was far lower than today.
Abundancy of oxygen has nothing to do with size unless it is extremely high or low.
It is the amount of energy needed that matters. Hence why dinosaurs were generally slow moving and cold blooded.

It is theoretically realistic to have a 100 ton, 200 foot animal that is active. It just needs to eat an elephant each day.

>>28555724
>https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanosaur
it's one monster. One target. Send a strike package of a dozen F/A-18's. Drop fucktons of bombs. Armor piercing, cluster, penetrators, delayed fuse, direct impact, etc etc.

>>28555772
Pretty much this.

/thread

One well aimed bunker buster would kill it.

>>28555764
Yeah, IRL, it wouldn't take much.
Some sustained fire from a machine gun or three, a deep penetrating tank shot, some explosives with shaped charges pushing that super-heated copper deep into it in addition to a violent explosion ripping a hole etc etc.

>>28555770
So as we go full circle. What's is preventing a creature like the OP from consuming that much food? The thing can lay waste to cities, why wouldnt it be able to eat 20 or 30 people per day?

>>28555726
Titanosaurs were nowhere near the size of the cloverfield monster dude

It is physically almost impossible to have a creature that big walk on land

Blue whales are smaller, don't support their own weight on land, and still constantly eat for every waking second

>>28555772
I didn't really mean in this case.

I was more asking tankers how they decide in general what to set the fuse to.

Is there a little booklet that lists the kinds of targets you might see, and what delays you need for each? Like,

mud hut = 4 milliseconds
tin shack = 2 milliseconds
wooden house = 3 milliseconds

Or is there some other technique

We know more about the surface of the moon than we do about the bottom of the oceans. Makes you wonder what's under the surface of the earth, that which we know even LESS about.

>>28555831
>subtle "Americans are fat" joke.

>>28555838
dunno if they're too concerned, seeing as a 120mm HE shell to a mud hut, tin shack, or little wooden house is going to blow the shit out of it no matter what the fuse is set to

>>28555872
>We know more about the surface of the moon than we do about the bottom of the oceans.

people say this like it's some sort of point. It's not a dick-waving contest to see how deep you can go underwater. There is nothing down there that's interesting. It is dark, and the pressure is so great that it's probably just bacteria down there.

>>28555887
Then why have a setting?

The question still remains, how do you know what to set it to?

Clover had plot armor.

Zilla is the same size as most Godzillas. About that pic, are you sure Legendarys Godzilla was that big?

Godzilla was apparently an allegory about the nuclear bombs dropped on Japan. An unstoppable atomic monster. I heard Godzilla heals and near the end of the movie he starts turning green again. Maybe that's an allegory for Japan rising from the ashes of military insignificance and becoming mighty again, forgetting about their war crimes and all.

>>28555128
in real life, something that big, moving with any kind of ease, doesnt exist outside of the ocean.

this considered, it's shell / chitin / armor and bone structure should be light or even hollow, with mostly sinew / tendon articulation with heavy musculature on joints and at the base of the legs. the creature wasnt magical, but clearly it functioned well above land, and it's spawns functioned well on land, so i guess we're to assume it was of alien origin or was simply some kind of ultimate adaptive creature that evolution still somehow allowed to be the size of a city block.

TLDR: assume it's made of meat. meat dies when it's full of holes. start with accurate anti-armor and work your way down to thermobarics and nuclear options if anti armor didnt work

The harpoons were actually a mistake made by the movie production crew. It was actually a big mess. The Apaches didn't have a nose mounted gun, the guns were mounted on the hardpoints, the pilot when he went to select the missles said "selecting (or possibly arming) LGB's, then it showed the screen and he had selected harpoons.
