Any fa/tg/uys here who like Über? Pic related its a comic about Superheroes in WW2.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%9Cber_(comics)

Link for the uninformed.

I would like to convert it into an RPG. With some tweaks in the Background.

1) I am aware that Godlike exists.
2) The Heroes there are to underpowered for me while their powers were to diverse.


Proposed changes to the background:

- The Nazis geht their hands on the Formula much earlier (i would propose 42 so they can win Stalingrad but 43 also is really interesting the nazis could win Kursk,more late war tech and a stronger Red army). We have a much more drawn out war this Way and the Nazis are able to pull of far more shenanigans because they still have tons of convetional stuff.
-Russia like in the comic is behind on the technological side so they can't really develop the strongest superhumans (otherwise they would quickly flood the Eastern front with too many cruisers etc.)
-Japan now puts up a hellish fight against the USA.
-Maybe a lower power difference between the different classes of Übers.
-Maybe a way for Übers to reach a higher class (not sure).

Also discuss the comic or call me a retard for proposing such a shit idea.

I've heard of Uber once before, but never got into it.

You seem eager anon and I love that cover art, explain it like i'm a caveman.
>>
>>53503491
As Berlin is falling, the Nazis deploy their first supersoldiers, people who can take a tank round like a champ and can blow up/burn/melt/shape objects from a distance via a superpower called a Halo Effect.

The rest of the comic is the Allies attempting to match the initial German superiority in supersoldiers with technological research and tactics, and the Germans somehow nearly always pulling out a win from their ass.

There's also a Russian supersoldier who is the fucking strongest and is best living character.
>>
He didn't mention the "holy fuck" levels of gore and body horror after the Uber fights. Those are pretty off the scale. Thing is, the superhumans have what's basically an exponential growth. Regular "Tanks BTFO humans, then each tier owns every tier before them almost completely until you get the Battleships melting cities and taking three Cruisers just to scratch significantly. It's a little hard to have horde/elite dynamics when the closest the"swarm" ever got to a victory was Leah Cohen, and that was only half a level of power difference.
>>
>>53503676
Neat! I'll have to check it out.

As for your problem, I'd suggest GURPS if you want to mix both the WW2 military/technology side along with superpowers in a supported system. Of course, caveat emptor anytime you try to get players for GURPS who haven't tried the system before.

Or are you perhaps trying to make your own system from the ground up?
>>
>>53501139
Why don't you just play
>1) I am aware that Godlike exists.
Nevermind

Seriously though just use Godlike or Wild Talents for the game and limit the powers to one source
Also Uber would be cool if not for the tremendous amount of aSSpulls needed to keep the Nazi's a valid threat in the series
>>
>>53503821
Don't forget the Second Battle of Kursk. The Russians didn't exactly achieve their primary objective and they lost most of their Ubers, but they did force the Germans (well German) from the field; so in the end it was a victory. It's just not a tactic you can rely upon as we saw recently with the Americans.

>>53501139
weird war is a savage worlds setting. and since it is SW you can probably crank up the power level as needed
>>
>>53507790
Man, I like reading Uber, but the whole "Nazis always win no matter what" approach to drama is really dumb. It doesn't matter how badly the odds are stacked against them, because the author will reveal a hereforto unmentioned plan that will decisively turn the tide of battle.

Anyway OP, I say go for it. It's a neat setting with a lot of potential. I'd say expand the global war theatre with more Battlefield US scenes and allow for unenhanced humans to be more of a threat with tank-hunting teams and the like. Good luck.

Uber is a fucking awful setting for PnP.

Fights are overwhelmingly decided by what type of super-dude someone is, and scientific/strategic development around the creation of new super-people.

There is literally one character in the entire series who demonstrates any capacity for power development over time, and fights are rarely ever even decided by superior training or tactics because every fucking physical object concievable has the structural integrity of french fries to an enhanced human, making any use of environment or anything pretty much worthless.

Also, this is not even a setting where *personality* matters all that much. The superhumans themselves are INCREDIBLY unambitious, only overthrowing their masters for personal ambition when they are pretty much walked through the process step by step.

Long story short, there's no dimensionality for a play experience present.
>>
>>53507920
>>53507932
These make me think an RPG for Uber is a bad idea.

Uber would be better off as a new version of Diplomacy, with the option of producing different UberTypes in addition to producing fleets/armies. Not good for roleplay, but much better at getting at the strategic importance of Uber Types. You would probably need to expand the Diplomacy map to the whole world to make it really work for WW2,
>>
>>53503903
It's been a long time since I looked at it, but I kind of remember Godlike as giving you like, one fucking super power. There was like one guy whose thing was he could fucking fly, and that was it. I remember another guy who could start fires, and canonically he died because he burned up all the oxygen in a confined space and suffocated.

Even a regular panzermensch isn't a bitch like that.
>>
>>53508284
This is exactly what bugged me about '''''god'''''like. The supers are neither decicive nor do they have a real impact on how the war is conducted. They don't revolutionize the Battlefield.

>>53507932
Thats why i would change the power dynamics between the Übers so that a Panzermensch is more of a threat to a cruiser and a cruiser is more of a threat to a Battleship.

Also i would devise a way for Übers to raise their class after a while.

And for the weak character motivations:

1) The Dude that kills Hitler on his own
2) I still agree somewhat but thats an easy change as GM.

>>53507920
Well i don't think the plans were as unmentioned.

There were clear foreshadowing about the Geltmenschen. And these essentially allowed the Nazis to maintain technological superiority. Otherwise the allies would have pulled ahead in some fields of Über tech. Due to their much longer prep time this was anticipated though.

Also the allies make some really dumb decisions:

1) Wasting Collosus and valuable Tankmen in Paris. They weren't ready and wasted really valuable ressources.

2) Wasting their second Battleship by turning it into a useless muscle freak with no ranged abilities. Seriously Golem has so many muscles that she is shit because of them.

You could also try Savage Worlds + Superpowers Companion. I personally would probably prefer WT, but I think either one can work.

Gilen actively works on it so comic will be only liked by Wehraboos or diehard Man In High Caste fags.
I liked it until comic shat the bed with Allies failing big battle having Churchill disabled, Dunkir killed and UK eventually forced to surrender and rest of Allies in Europe in disaray with loss of leadership and Nazi pulling Ubot fleet out of their asses to invade USA.
Still waiting to see if Invasion get better or not.

>Proposed changes to the background:
This is actually good idea to start with changing setting fro this, because it can't work as RPG with exact same setting as in comic.
>>
>>53511131
I mean HMH Churchill had no combat experience and was fighting heavy hitters, shame about Dunkirk though. The Capitulation of the UK made sense didn't it? Why let the blitzmensch light the British isles on fire, what's that gonna help anyone?
>>
>>53511228
Alot of thing in this makes sense but it don't make it sound less annoying.
And comic still can't use "it make sense" defense since Germany less limitations than it would should have, but most logistic and strategic problems for Nazis are ignored and all problems for Allies are exaggerated.

Before end of regular comic and start of Invasion it was more balanced with war being in Europe and Pacific.
>>
>>53511032
>Red Army would be in Berlin again

Ahh i wouldn't be so sure. If Siegfried had attacked its very possible he could have killed Katyusha due to exhaustion.

And remember her Halo is hugefuck strong but physically she is very weak. Once a cruiser or battleship breaks through she is History.
>>
>>53511228
You mean when they basically tested Churchill by dropping her out of a plane and having her get mobbed by UK tankmen to show her durability, she then gets crippled by her knee exploding for some reason?
>>
>>53511975
That actually makes some sense, they snapped one tendon in the knee and the rest of the enhanced muscles ripped the joint apart without counterbalance. Still kind of idiotic considering those weren't even the real Battleships she was fighting.
>>
>>53512002
It doesn't make sense because the drop from the fucking plane would have done more than snap one tendon and injuries would have shown this to the UK Military.

It was an asspull, because Gillen is a fucking terrible writer.
>>
>>53511054
I should get caught up. Last one I read they were teasing a new type of uber and super-Patton
>>
>>53512021
A rather different kind of attack, given that landing from a drop is considerably less stressful on one particular tendon than continuous bombardment from weird Halo bullshit directly on that area. I thought this was fairly clear from the moment Ubers started taking artillery to the face and then killing each other in fistfights.
>>
>>53512048
>Landing from a massive height that was calculated to cause serious damage to churchill for the purpose of them testing her regenerative skills actually doesn't harm her
>A little pressure to her tendons does

It was literally pulled out of the Nazi's ass as a way to sideline churchill and for the UK to be taken out of the war.

Because Gillen is a shit writer.

I'm Angry the Nazis have been constantly said to be on the back foot, yet they've just destroyed everything with little effort.

Yet they've conquered Europe. Now they DO have the resources. So the only way for the Americans to win now is through a huge asspull.

Patton is just a regular tankmen for all we know. Why the fuck would they spare any ressources apart from the fact they don't even know he is alive.

Also the bad writing is that the allies still defend southern france while GB that serves as supply hub is in jeopardy.

This. It was heavily hinted that the Japs will have their own Battleship soon.

And they aren't godlike they have the exact same skills your standard battleship has.

>>53512222
>while beeing punched

This. It is strongly hinted that she is absolutely deadly with her Halo. Once a heavy or two reach her before she can use her Halo she is dead meat.
>>
>>53512682
The Japs already have one, remember the guy in command of the Tankman kamikaze? The one who was ordered to get into a sub?

The guy who complained how his fate was sealed when his test went *boom*?

Pretty sure hes a Battleship, and they likely have more (just keeping them in reserve to defend the mainland, not unlike how the japs acted during ww2)
>>
>>53512769
>The guy who complained how his fate was sealed when his test went *boom*?

>>
>>53512802
Well, three things: first of all the japs did get the german research papers, those may or may not have included battleship research but considering the axis bias i'm inclined towards believing it is.

Secondly the guy mentioned being amongst the first tankmen to reach okinawa, meaning if nothing else he has survived a lot, which may or may not indicate that hes more then standard...

And lastly, last issue of the comic have the americans reporting that *a* jap is tearing San Diego apart... Now that sounds alot like a battleship, doesnt it?

There is only one rule and it is the Nazis win. No matter what, the Nazis win. If they are losing, you make something up so they can eventually win. Do not forget the Nazis have limitless resources and an arbitrary amount of ubers at all times. The British are defeating us with their new battleship ubers? Well you see, I had TWO new battleships stored up! Occupying half of Europe and conducting a full-scale tankman-based invasion of the USA, while having nothing but overwhelmingly crushing victories all around? No problem!

The only situation where they may not win is if you pit them against the Russian girl, but even then don't make them lose too badly or you may make Kieron Gillen cry
>>
>>53514226
Are you still busy with that boring "argument"? You got BTFO hours ago mate.

The Nazis control Germany, the Netherlands, some parts of Belgium, and East-Europe up to the Ukraine. As well as having a weird Vichy-France-like alliance with the United Kingdom.

France, Spain, Italy, Greece is all in the hands of the Allies. Balkan maybe too, I dunno.

>There is only one rule and it is the Nazis win
You know, if Sankt took Siegmund with him instead of dumb blondie loyal to Hitler, Nazis would be winning much harder now.
>>
>>53514302
That is my first post in the thread. I have been following Uber practically since it began, and it's become blatantly obvious that the author has a hard on for Germany always winning even if he denies it. Last issue I read, if I recall correctly, was the german tankmen razing another city unopposed and annihilating the american tankmen. Colossus dying served to set the tone for the rest of the story and made sense in-universe, but now everything is "the germans are initially winning but the allies have a trick up their sleeve which gives them the upper hand for a while, until german superiority becomes clear and they win anyways". The only major issues they've had are a battleship getting burned by Katyusha and the Geltsmensch being discovered
>>
>>53514444
The only advantage the Nazis have is that they're ahead of the Allies in terms of Über knowledge, and they're losing that edge now that Turinger has managed to decode a bit of Über knowledge that the Nazis know nothing about.
>>
>>53514226
Russian (actually Ukrainian) girl is way to remove Soviets from story without conquering/wiping them out what would piss off people to much and now its convenient that Nazis can't just invade because they are afraid of their super uber , while Soviets can't advance because their only battleship is uncooperative.
>>
>>53514836
That's been the status quo of the comic for years. The allies may be theoretically advancing and gaining the upper hand, hell it was even a plot point that it shouldn't be possible for the Germans to create heavy tankmen so quickly right before the geltsmensch were discovered, but we never get to see the results, unless something has drastically changed in the last issue. The new allied battleships have also been just around the corner since before Invasion was published, whereas the Germans got to asspull the two new dudes to publicly replace Sieglinde and Siegmund within like 2-3 issues.
>>
>>53514836
Think is, people are tired of this "losing edge" since its only in theory but nothing really seen in practice where not only Nazis don't lose but started gaining even more ground, to point of almost unopposed invasion of USA.
And I'm afraid author will asspull Nazi battleship out of this fully save while loss for their Uber force will leave no impact, same with their commanding officer (assuming Guderian also don't just escape).

>>53515313
Not to mention real Sieglinde and Siegmund are badly damaged
>>
>>53501139
The short answer is that it sucks as an RPG setting.

An uber of a higher class than another is always going to win a one on one fight. Nothing but an uber can beat an uber. Your maximum strength is limited by your genetics.

Now, as a strategy game setting it's fantastic as ubers make good elites but need support elements and high class ubers are rare.

>>53515318
yup.

Wasn't Soviets training new cruisers/battleships under Ekatherine the last time they were shown?

They lost most of their ready tankmen under Kursk and the only ready battleship they head was a little crazy. There is now way for them to actually win the offensive in such a situation especially considering the abilities of Ekatherine. She is more suited for defensive operations or ambushes. In offensive campaign you'll need proper support. If she was not a natural fighter Siegliende would have whipped her in their battle due to much larger experience.

>>53514444

Americans lost a lot of tankmen yes, but they have all their battleships nearing completion and are currently installing new labs for creation of atomic bombs. On the other hand Nazi's are spread extremely thin. They have two battleships in America, one of which is a psychopath with clear brains deficit, third battleship is crippled and mostly travels by plane spending days in flight trying to close all the gaps. If the plane will be shot down she is out of the game for days or maybe weeks depending on where it will happen. And supposedly they have another battleship that we haven't seen on Eastern front keeping Soviets in check.

Nazi's panzemensch, blitzmensch and so on are mostly spread all over Europe trying to keep partisans in check. There is still some British catalyst and tankmen shitting all over their supply lines.

Shown numbers is 1 tankmen for around 5k people, and 1 battleship for around 500k. With cruisers and so on being somewhere in between. Germans had around 6.5kk people in the army max. Before all the shit Allies and Soviets did to them. They are already scraping the bottom of the barrel trying to find panzermensch and battleships in their population and probably started recruiting civilians long ago. Considering that out of 3 starting battleships one was a psychopath they have definite problems with their human resources.

That's something the US probably would have done though, battleships are essentially unstoppable, if two out of three were black, they'd have no way to control them if they suddenly took offence to having to use the back entrance whenever they entered a building.
>>
>>53516306
Brits can't make mistakes, right?
>>
>>53516306
Thing is, the limiting factor for Battleship numbers is suitable candidates, not availability of activation procedures. It's logical to provide as many as possible wherever possible, although they almost certainly got the balance wrong and committed their Battleships too early.
>>
>>53516385
Well they are not so much unstoppable as there is no ready forces to take on them. And also no developed tactics. The fact that abilities of a fighter depend on his genetics also screws everyone over.

Imagine if in Kursk battle Soviets instead of normal tankmen had 3-5 Dunkirk type speedsters.
>>
>>53516335
Yeah, I'm disappointed the British focus on commandos has apparantly been entirely forgotten by the Brits in the series. They're acting German, always looking for the next super-weapon or innovation to save them, not British, relying on military intelligence to make sure any engagements are as asymetrical in their favour as possible.

I feel that realistically, they'd have been sat back using counter-intelligence dickery to cause the German battleships to be moved into vulnerable positions trying to engage armies that don't exist, then ambush their support units with a bunch of suped-up commandos.
>>
>>53516480

Anon, they are using acquired intelligence to close the gap in the new war nobody knows how to fight. Thanks to their intelligence USA can fight and Soviets got Katyusha.

>>
>>53516393
It seems odd that having successfully identified that producing large quantities of easily maintainable and rapidly deployable war material like tanks and sten guns was superior to sinking half your defence budget into a single all-or-nothing wonder weapon, they seem to have forgotten this when it comes to super humans.

They tried twice to engage battleships one-on-one with their own, rather than focusing on mass producing tankmen and cruisers. They had their top expert essentially babysit Churchill for her entire, protracted development rather than having her working on setting up production lines for the more basic, rapidly deployable models.
>>
>>53516581
>lucked out
It was a calculated sacrifice. When numbers are so high, something is bound to happen. Who knows how many cruisers and destroyers they missed this way.
>>
>>53516585
>rather than having her working on setting up production lines for the more basic, rapidly deployable models
Did Brits have enough manpower for her efforts to make much difference?
>>
>>53516665
Larger fighting-age population than Germany had at this stage of the war.
>>
>>53516630
Sacrifice was calculated yes. Getting Katyusha out of it was luck. And she is actually was shown starting to train a group of people some of whom were wounded. Probably the cruisers and destroyers that they could not detect when they were readying for Kursk.
>>
>>53515370
IMHO, in M&M you could pull it off with players being a group of cruisers/destroyers. They would be able to take on a battleship as a group with some preparation.
>>
>>53516665

Germans had been looking for candidates for two years before the series began, while the deployment of Churchill was six months after the series began. They probably had a serious disadvantage in numbers at every point since they use tests.

Yeah, Claudia/Sieglinde was their first attempted activation after what resulted in >>53512677 (and thus considered the most expendable) despite them knowing about the psychological issues of Markus/Siegfried.
>>
>>53517251
He's also utterly loyal to the Nazi leadership and powerful enough to effortlessly rek anything that isn't another battleship. The Nazi party wasn't universally loved within the Wehrmacht or the general German populace, particular late in the war.

There's a reason they've kept him back, same reason the Americans won't allow their two black battleship candidates to fully activate to the point where they could equal the white one.

I think she is also the weakest of the three. Though considering her experience and level of control over Halo she should be able to just walk over the Siegfried. Or roll, considering that she is currently crippled.

This. I can honestly see a lot of people (especially in the south) who would prefer a settlement with the Nazis than two super powered blacks.

Once a few cities get flattened isolationism should become stronger and after all the brits made a deal.

And we are talking about 45-46 here. There is so much fucking bad blood between blacks and whites. I sincerely dou they would give them so much power.
>>
>>53517486
>He didn't just lose an arm and kill them all
He was attacked after being tired in a fight and cut from the support. Siegfried was fresh and rested after terror mission against civilians. Apparently Germans purposely trained him wrong as a joke.

Nothing wrong with tactical retreat. Germany would fall if he died.

Katyusha > Everything else.

With the exception of Siegmund, she's the only battleship with actual military experience prior to being enhanced. Even then, Siegmund seems to have been a tank commander/officer rather than a infantry(wo)man like Katyusha.
>>
>>53517638
He's essentially superpowered gestapo. He's there to maintain loyalty amongst the other German ubers, they only deployed him onto the frontlines because they needed to take out America before they could deploy too many ubers.
>>
>>53517560

There is a logic in what they did with Leah.

Colossus was a conventional and got destroyed. He wasn't fully baked, but even if Leah was, she'd be facing three more experienced enemies of the same level. However purely physical tankmen activations were stomping conventional tankmen, so they figured the same could happen with battleships, making the numerical disadvantage and experience less of an issue. Turned out to be a bad idea but sometimes it happens.
>>
>>53517671

Erm, Siegmund lost an arm. Katyusha is ok. She whipped Siegliende pretty hard. Probably halo-welded some of her bones.
>>
>>53517671

Katyusha quite possibly just has a higher power level than the other battleships. We don't know how many activations she took and her test blew up a flat and splattered the testers, other battleship test positives have just knocked them senseless. This means she can win against any enemy she sees, if she's not living through the series it's because of a Stalinist backstab.
>>
>>53517842
Yeah. She's pretty unstoppable offensively, but she doesn't seem to have a physical activation, she's possibly anti-HMH Churchill, so vulnerable to pretty much anything that would kill a regular human.

Presumably if the Russian peasant woman had gone through with her plan to kill her in her sleep, it might have succeeded.
>>
>>53517842
Not in close combat. Her "build" is definitely Halo-heavy and with some side bonuses - like ability to create catalyst. Though I have a theory that most ubers could do it if they have enough control over Halo.
>>
>>53517829

By that point she was already deformed, and we don't know if it also happens to heavy tankmen before their activation is completed. Leah's debilitating pains also stopped because her activation was completed, it was just done at 21(?) because Stephanie was afraid she would die before getting to full 24.

Katyusha was missing a hand during the first part of the comic, after Berlin. Did she grow it back with battleship magics?
>>
>>53517968

Ah that, seems like yes. Considering that Siegliende was able to make plastic surgery on herself and change hair colour, plus other Halo effects that we have seen, it's not impossible. Though it should be a more complex operation. Considering that Katyusha has the best Halo of all the current ubers she probably could rebuild herself fully as long as she is not dead.
>>
>>53517892

She has some physical activations, she's bigger after completing the process and survives her own blood test that obviously was fatal to normal people, she was just knocked unconscious. Also Sieglinde's halo blasts explode the tankmen around her while she gets no relevant injuries.
>>
>>53518067

Even Sieglinde's injuries should in theory be fixable with halo, considering Siegmund could remove Hitler's mouth, lips and all, before killing him and then reconstruct it moments later. That involves serious reconstruction of muscle and nerve tissue.
>>
>>53501139
>Pic related its a comic about German Nazi Superheros in WW2 (other fascist nations need not apply.)

Fixed.
>>
>>53518174
Yeah, but Siegliende is the best they have in the way of Halo control and she is also constantly on the front. She doesn't have time for experiments with surgery. If she survives war, yeah, probably within a couple of months her injuries could be healed.
>>
>>53518174

She suffers a lot from strain and combat weariness. I don't think halo effect can fix that.

Ugh, if its true they are gonna run her into the ground. She is like what, trying to keep up with at least three different fronts right now?
>>
>>53518463
Britain signed peace. USSR can't attack now that their only battleship is roaming somewhere and she took two dozens potential destroyers and cruisers with her. It's only Patton and potential partisan Ubers in Europe. USA soil is the main front right now.
>>
>>53518463
Conveniently none of those fronts really pose any danger to Nazi Germany, UK don't even count anymore, Soviet status quo can be extended forever and rest of Europe is allies being in total chaos and disarray with apparently only Uber Paton as only commanding officer there.
Italian front wasn't even mentioned all this time.
>>
>>53518530
I'd say it is potential partisans period. Our miss Bond showed that tankmen could be killed with normal weapons if you try hard enough. And Germany just doesn't have manpower to control all this territory. They struggled with partisans when they were at their height during offensive against USSR and now most of their forces consist of tankmen. Even if we assume the most favourable conversion rate they have at maximum around 1300 tankmen. Which must work as substitutes for all the work that were before done by machines.

Yeah, they should still have some conventional forces but how many?
>>
>>53518708

Not enough to regain Italy or Southern France. The ubers are now spread thin enough that after Britain's surrender Germany is being bombed again by the US forces.

Germans are willing to burn down what they can't hold. The question is whether they are able to turn their successes into propaganda and get Nazi recruits and potential Ubers from outside Germany. Britain didn't recruit from India, it could hold several potential battleships.
>>
>>53518854
>Germans are willing to burn down what they can't hold.
Which means they'll have even more trouble with partisans and starving people who no longer have anything to lose. It also means that they are probably burning most of factories that could have in theory supplied them with conventional arms because they don't have the means to man them in reasonable time frame. Which in turn makes their reliance on ubers overwhelming.
>>
>>53518854

Hard to imagine how burning everything would get you foreign recruits. Would Germans even want that, given the risk posed by unreliable ubers.

Thus they are limited to using the population of Germany as their recruiting pool and aren't getting any more new battleships, they found four candidates by summer 1944 and there's been no one since even though testing has presumably continued.
>>
>>53518959
>Hard to imagine how burning everything would get you foreign recruits.
You don't burn potential allies obviously.
>Thus they are limited to using the population of Germany as their recruiting pool
And whatever Nazi supporters might join now from Spain and other neutral countries. Remember, they don't have to be young fit men with military training, they just have to pass the test.

China and India are two regions with incredible untapped pontential. Imagine cruiser Mao who puts chairman Yang to shame.
>>
>>53518948
>It also means that they are probably burning most of factories that could have in theory supplied them with conventional arms
They don't need conventional arms that much. It lessens burden on German economy and lets them focus on rebuilding the country.

Everyone relies on ubers nowadays. I wonder if Mengele will try complete blood transfusion or some other disgusting crap on prisoners to find new ways to make ubers.

They're burning the North Sea rim and Italy and Spain are still behind Allied lines. Italy's government is no longer German-friendly and Franco didn't join the war when Germany was doing well. Japan was pretty much the only ally they had at early 1945 and the only one they shared Uber tech with.

Soviets moved their factories to Ural and Germans even with ubers were not able to reach them. In 1945 USSR had a stable and fast rate of production for all of it main aircraft.

They infiltrated American labs that were creating atomic bombs. Could not get their hands on actual research but they destroyed them. So now Americans have only one bomb left and new ones will be done only in a couple of months at best.

There is also not that much left to bomb. German industry is more or less already dead and their ubers are spread pretty thin making massed bombings not a very effective affair. Berlin is a bunch of loose stones with nothing of value left to bomb.

If say Soviets or British had land armies capable of taking on Germans than yeah, aviation would give them a definitive edge. But right now they don't.

I think Siegfried isnt insane, hes literally just a little boy. He is only ever shown in flashbacks of his old life as a child and with the new British battleship candidate being a little girl I'm starting to get the impression that they can age up if the catalyst is used on them.

>>53517198
>>53520779
Its 100% flight, the candidates who went through the catalyst for the new power had their bodys fly off into the air(or try to) when it kicked in. Also we know from one or two of the covers that there are tank men with flight suits on implying more so this new power is flight.
>>
>>53530337

Flight has to be combined with normal halo plus physical combos to make them useful against other ubers in fight though, otherwise the fliers are dead as soon as someone sees them. This would mean it's got combat utility only on a destroyer or higher.
>>
>>53530554
That actually could explain a lot - recipients of flight must have at least one physical activation first to survive it.
>>
>>53530923
Agreed, I thought the same thing. Americans made mistakes in a rush to discover new ability. They have to test on half activated tankmen next.

After her injury, somewhat, but I was talking more about her "we can only make sure everyone loses" line. She isn't running straight into enemy fire, but she quite clearly believes that her country is totally fucked anyway.

I'd quite like to see an Ubermensch that actually reads their Nietzsche and decides to decide their own morality, anyone below Battleship seems to be entirely content being cannon fodder. Might be cool to see some decide "fuck you, I'm not fighting in your war" and going off to build their own village or something. Of course, that relies on them getting a supply of that nutrient paste stuff.

Most of German forces should be those who survived retreat to Berlin so if they didn't desert until now they probably won't. Scientists literally gave a miracle to soldiers in Wehrmacht to defend their country.

Also most soldiers do not have full information about limitations of catalyst. So they probably think that situations is better than it actually is. With battleships being exceptions due to the level on which they operate.

Most of Germans forces would be teenagers who grew old enough to be drafted with some diehard veterans here and there.

SiegLinde hasn't tried to heal herself. Might be hard when she is as fucked up as she is.

She is pretty "normal" for a fully stacked battleship.
She was also allowed to refine her catalyst, and gotten all her activations before leaving for Kursk.

>Side bonus
wrong comic. Its even the wrong type of moral.
Uber is about taking advantage of your capabilities. Which is why they have Tankmen riding around on motorbikes. 3 man strike teams, heroic suicide wests.

But Uber is also about the fact that capabilities go deeper. Tankmen haven't been used for Civilian capacities yet. In fact, it took almost the entire of first part, for them to realize Halo can be used to build stuff. Or surgery. Or the fact they killed HMS Colossi instead of finishing his activations and hoping he fixed himself with Halo.
Blitzmen hasn't been given sight enhancers yet.
Linde showed us that you could even use Tankmen to manifactur Chemicals, which Maria end up doing to create refined catalysts.
>>
>>53536790
Actually, I don't remember other Ubers ingesting catalyst. Is this the secret behind higher halo unit activation?
>>
>>53536790

From the looks of it Colossus had to have serious brain damage, even if it's possible for every halo user to do what Maria did and regrow limbs etc. he couldn't have learned it.
>>
>>53536896
We only get to see Maria, Collosus, Golem Jew and Linde. Because everyone else is "fully activated" when they show up, or we get to see their PTSD showing afterwards.

Yamato was activated in the same way Germans do, catalyst applied to the forehead. The thing is Japanese got their tech from Germans and so did Brits (with breakout into body units) and Americans from them. Soviets got limited knowledge from the West and could be researching these things independently.
>>
>>53536896
She and all the Soviets where given a taste sample, diluted in paper.
So she is "tasting" the catalyst, because that is what she is used to.
But it doesn't matter how its ingested, so long it gets proper body contact, or so they explained to Stalin.

>>53537656
>So she is "tasting" the catalyst, because that is what she is used to.
Penicillin was discovered accidentally. It happens.

Soviets got data from allies who got their tech from Germans in turn. It's unlikely that Germans would risk losing battleships to experiments after fucking up battleship zero.

Sounds like a key element to making this work might be to focus on central but "backstage" action like with turing and the research/logistics/support. Maybe with one or two actual fighters who communicate with the others and lead movements in the battlefield among npcs.

Actually, with the high lethality, you'd need to really follow the spirit of the setting you could probably have players make separate combat characters that they take over in battle though you'd need good players to not metagame knowledge across characters.
>>
>>53539841
A squad based game makes more sense. GMs would have to play along really well to make sure players don't get a TPK shortly into the game because they stumbled on a Battelship and they're just four tankmen and a heavy

I was thinking about reading this but looking at the comments here about the nazi asspulls put me off. And i am saying that as a wehraboo. It would be entertaining to watch dudes killing hordes with mind bullets but that would probably get old after a while and apperently this comic is full of it.

I really like the Power Set of the Uber characters and the sort of power ranking system/classes but the comic has so many problems for me. The seeming inability for the Nazis to lose a meaningful engagement, which has been mentioned numerous times in this and /co/'s Uber thread, is probably the biggest problem I have with the comic. I mean I understand you need Germany to win a few to prolong the conflict but there are better ways to do that without turning all the allies into idiots who forget they have a giant military industrial complex backing them.

That would be a valid point if the Western Allies weren't forcing the Germans to dedicate vast amounts of resources to fortifying Western Europe, crippling German industry with strategic bombing, and supplying the USSR basically the entirety of the Red Army's logistics vehicles on top of a shitton of food and (in the early days) a significant percentage of their fighting vehicles.

Oh, wait.

>>53541556
>OVER THE ALPS, PERHAPS?

>a giant military industrial complex backing them.

Sort of irrelavent given how powerful the battleships are, plus the Germans have more tankmen than anyone else, or at least did, which can rek conventional forces. Only the British have been shown developing tactics for unenhanced humans to kill tankmen and that boiled down to 'try and hit them with an anti-tank weapon'.

It'll help longterm but we're still pretty early in the timeframe from when the ubers first deployed in Berlin.
>>
>>53543705
>forcing the Germans to dedicate vast amounts of resources to fortifying Western Europe, crippling German industry with strategic bombing
Brits were doing such a great job that Germany decided they are safe to attack Soviets. Burning of Dresden was crippling, I guess.

Thanks for trucks

No thanks for the tanks, they were shit

Oh wait, you don't know what dirty job means

>>53542646
Look at the difference in the amount of catalyst the Russians were using compared to the Brits.

You can't even see it in the Brit's test tube, the Russian one is half-full. That probably accounts for the huge blast from Katyusha's sample.

But the comic starts at the end of the war in May of 1945 when German industry and infrastructure should not have been able to sustain the troops and tactics the Nazis are using in the comics not to mention the allies seem to forget how to fight a war anytime they go up against a German force larger than 5 tankmen
>>
>>53543818
>t. knows nothing about strategic bombing in WWII or the extreme importance of logistics in a modern army, especially one as large as the USSR's

The real injustice of this comic is how shitty the Allied uber's costumes are.

They deployed HMH Colossus in a boiler suit. A fucking boiler suit.

Brit tank men are just regular soldier's uniforms with goggles and an ! on their helmets.

Meanwhile Nazis get snazzy hoplite helmets and leather longcoats.
>>
>>53543909
>should not have been able to sustain the troops
They don't need large standing army anymore. Ubers are much cheaper than regular tanks to maintain and operate. The same goes for Allies as well. New weapons and tactics relieve industrial capacities for other purposes.

>Brits were doing such a great job that Germany decided they are safe to attack Soviets.

More like they wanted to strike because they considered a Soviet attack to be inevitable and they had very little area to perform a defence in depth. Britain was fighting significant German forces in N. Africa when Op. Barbarossa launched, including a lot of their best armoured units. And Rommel.

Plus fighting the largest Japanese army that existed at any point in the war in Burma

Sure the USSR did the bulk of the fighting in WW2, but it's not like Britain was just sat the other side of the channel twiddling their thumbs until Op. Overlord launched in 1944.

They wouldn't strike if they didn't feel safe enough to do that.
>Britain was fighting significant German forces in N. Africa when Op. Barbarossa launched, including a lot of their best armoured units. And Rommel.
I don't try to belittle it but how would it end if Germany had safety and more spare resources to throw into fire?
>Plus fighting the largest Japanese army that existed at any point in the war in Burma
Japanese forces in Burma counted about 300k men. Kwantung Army was 700k men strong by 1945.

>>
>>53544317
Wasn't aware of the Kwantung Army, other two points are moot though, at no point did German command consider British forces to be irrelevent and feel 'safe', which is what you're implying.

They didn't feel 'safe' because the British troops weren't capable of threatening them, they allocated resources according to perceived enemy strength. Britain was in no way capable of mustering armies in Europe comparable to the USSR and whilst the USSR and greater German regions shared a huge land border, Britain was no more capable of launching an invasion across the channel than the Germans were of following through with Op. Sealion.

If Britain hadn't been in N. Africa, the Germans would have gained access to huge reserves of oil unopposed, which would have made life extremely difficult for the Soviets.

Italy would have also been free to contribute more troops to the eastern front, for whatever good that might have done.
