How does it actually go?

I enjoyed Bioshock Infinite. That being said, one of the things that throws me and nearly breaks my suspension of disbelief is the in universe 1984 invasion. How does it actually go? Do we get to see napalm dropped on balloons? F-4 phantoms? A nook?

    It's been 10 years since I played Bioshock Infinite, remind me again why Comstock would attack New York City instead of Washington DC if he hated America so much?

      While DC is the capital and his ultimate target, maybe New York embodies his disgust more and he wants to make an example of it?

      He's a southern hypernationalist. He hates New York as much as the average /misc/ak hates Israel.

    Temporal frickery, she knew what was going to happen before it did and whatever else.

    While this is somewhat moronic, it does bring up some good points.

    Cruise missiles would be incapable of targeting important sections of the airships (DSMAIC could maybe work?), so ASHM would be modified to hit aerial targets. Most traditional A2A missiles would be somewhat ineffective, seeing as multiple large components would need to be knocked out to achieve a kill.
    We’d probably see lots of rockets and lobbed bombs. Also AIR-2 Genies for shits and giggles

      Wouldn't Stingers and mobile AA be able wreck havoc on a few of the balloons?

        The balloons and airships would get absolutely fricked. The floating islands are held up by those well protected magic generators. However, all that does is keep them afloat while modern aircraft and artillery shell the ever loving frick out of them with impunity.

        Still die to guns.

        Infinite really falls apart on the most surface level scrutiny.

        Stingers surely not as the airships float without heat. Mobile AA was iirc not much common in NY in '84 (and US army in general). What would crash the party would be F-14s in spectacular fashion. But remember that Columbia has teleportation tech on their side.

    Wait the invasion is supposed to be in fricking 1984? I thought it was meant to be like the 20s or something.
    Even with Comstocks magic science shit he'd get absolutely fricking raped by 80s aa and aircraft

      Yeah, it was either 1983 or 1984.

    Might’ve been a surprise thing. Like, yeah Columbia gets raped by modern aircraft, but they still manage to pull off 9/11x1,000 before they’re taken down.

    He has time travel, teleportation, and dimensional travel. He can just teleport safely back 1910 any time he's threatened, and can predict when and where any attacks would occur. Then, he could get reinforcements from an infinite number of parallel Columbias.

    isnt bioshock an alternate universe with divergent timelines? did ww2 even happen? i know some war happened but i dont think ww2 played out the same way. even if it did how are they supposed to make f4 and other advanced tech when all the smart scientists fricked off to live under the sea or in the sky?

      OP here. That's true. I was just curious what others would suggest would come first, which aircraft would fly in, if mobile AA would even happen. In the actual scene you do see the 1980's stock exchange display which makes me think maybe some if not all our tech might have stayed the same after the 60's. I'm also going off the "something in the sky" trailer where camera equipment is about the same as 80's tech which makes me think military maybe didn't change.

      Stingers surely not as the airships float without heat. Mobile AA was iirc not much common in NY in '84 (and US army in general). What would crash the party would be F-14s in spectacular fashion. But remember that Columbia has teleportation tech on their side.

      You think LAWs would do anything if you put infantry in high rise buildings?
