Hello /k/, like many of you I enjoy delving into the world of the Reformers to laugh at their inane ramblings. The name Mike Sparks will of course be framilier to any of you as the moron with an obsession over the M113 that he insists on calling the Gavin, to the point of wanting to make it fly.
However, Sparks (who I will be calling Sparky for the rest of this thread) has so much more to offer, and too little of it is well known enough. From insisting we need to get rid of the concept of an airbase and instead drill tunnels into mountains (to save money, of course), to assurances that USS Wisconsin could defeat North Korea singlehandedly, all the way to 747s towing A-10s that have M113s with glider wings strapped to their bellies, Sparky has an idea for everything. Most of these ideas can be found on his website Combat Reform, as well as submissions and articles pilfered from various sources. Sparky and his ilk proudly proclaim their theorycrafting under the moniker of the 1st Tactical Studies Group (Airborne).
I invite you then, to pull up a chair and enjoy some truly batshit crazy interpretations of how warfare should be fought. Our first excursion into this madness will be a presentation entitled:
>Non-Aircraft Carrier Seaplane Defense of Surface Ships v5.0
One of the things you'll quickly get to know when reading through Sparky's ravings on the Navy is that seaplanes are the best fricking thing ever.
So good, in fact, that anyone who would prefer a helicopter is moronic, CORRUPT and probably a homosexual too. Evidently helicopters cannot do search and rescue, a fact that I'm sure with shock the Coast Guard. Now, I'm not entirely sure if Sparky thinks that a propeller aircraft is viable in a modern naval air combat arena, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and presume that he's only using such a an aircraft for comparison's sake.
>I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and presume that he's only using such a an aircraft for comparison's sake
Just kidding, frick you
>radar missiles on the wingtips
Is there an air radar in the float or something?
this is all a trick right? he can’t be this stupid, right?
This is the guy who would have US airforce fly in (even more) stripped down analogues of A10 because a machine could never possibly do 2 different things...
Sparky is a more moronic neverserved reflection of Col James Burton
He was in marines and army. He enlisted in 'muhreen reserves in early 80's, became corporal. Then he got college degree in history and went for reserve officer training. He went to 'muhreen infantry officer course and was determined by 'muhreens to be too moronic to lead infantry platoon, so he was put into some supply position for few months and then he somehow managed to get transferred to army. Whatever went down in his brief time as marine officer made him hate the corps more than fricking anything.
>being too moronic for the marines
grim
>he can’t be this stupid, right?
Oh just you frickin wait, mate
>neverserved
Anon...
If the plane HAS to land, how is it going to protect anyone?
>that comparison to WWII carriers
now, i don't know too much about naval combat, and less about the aerial aspects of it, but i don't think the aircraft carriers of today are all that comparable to that of WWII.
Sparky has actual no bullshit autism. Yes or Yes?
Autisim with a side dose of schizophrenia, the former comes out on combat reform while the later really comes out on his b***hute channel:

The first quarter or so he manages to keep it sorta together...then the big titty nazi seances to bind anti-gravity demons comes into play
He is.
Thing is with certain types of autism it contrary to popular belief doesn't make you super-smart instead making you hyper-focused on and obsessed with a small number of things (sometimes leading you to get really knowledgeable and/or good at them leading to the misconception).
If you combine this with narcissism you get a really strange combination where they'll be obsessed with something but instead of learning the truth about it they'll just assume they're completely right about anything on the subject matter.
Sort of like some tank and plane autists will argue their favorite vehicle is the best and makes everything else shit and outdated.
Also common in train-autists. They love trains so they want the craziest mega-projects that make the hyperloop look reasonable
Kinda like Gerald Bull. Undeniably intelligent but ruined by his extreme autism for gun launched space vehicles, and he died for his principles
Perfect description.
>Also common in train-autists.
Are train-autists more common in Japan than elsewhere or does it just seem that way?
NGL, but I can frick with the idea of a seaplane that’s essential a combination of a P-3/P-8 and a SURTASS boat.
HELICOPTERS ARE EEBIL AND DO NOT EXIST. THEY DERIVE LIFT VIA THE EARTH REPUSLING THEIR VERY FORMS
ATTACHED IS AN IMAGE OF A TYPICAL HELICOPTER PILOT! DO YOU WANT TO BE FLOWN ABOUT IN A TURBOSHAFT DRIVEN EGGBEATER BY THIS CREATURE!?
this post got me harder than i'd like to admit
To be fair, helicopters have comparatively dismal safety record and very high fatality rate. Never fly on a heli if you can help it.
Never forget
You know, why hasn't anyone made a helicopter capable of landing and taking off at sea?
Kind of like a sane version of this (without the tank tracks.)
So close...
So close Sparks, yet so far...

something about the unpredictable landing surface combined with the spinning choppy things just tends toward mass casualty kerfuffles.

Everyone still on board
I'm not sure why everyone else hasn't made a fuel tank/float/skid pylon attachment for all their planes, sure seems pretty obvious to Sparky.
As someone who's only exposure to engineering is knowing a civil engineer, this seems like a neat idea.
This is the most special shit I have ever seen from sparky and I know he things James Bond is real.

Mike Sparks is a treasure. Don't ever let him within 500 miles of a procurement meeting.
>Don't ever let him within 500 miles of a procurement meeting
I hate to say this, but I think he's probably been in a few. Many of his presentations clearly resemble sales pitches, and some are credited at least in part to somewhat high ranking officers like this Maj Chuck Jarnot. Looking him up shows that since whining about how he's not being treated fair by the military he's spent years going to court to dispute $20 traffic tickets.
What a frick up, does the pentagon really?
I could maybe see the seaplane warthog carriers as a viable option during the Cold War as a light-armor-piercing longer range alternative getting closer and using small turrets, but missile development has basically rendered naval warplanes irrelevant beyond scouting and shell trajectory correction, assuming shells are still used for any sort of precision shooting beyond suppressing bombardment. And switching from carriers to container ships is still the same principle, with a different name and shape. Still probably his most sane idea, looking at his amidships VTOL crane, submarine flight deck and flying kamikaze tanks.
Naval patrol and attack craft is an interesting niche.
Container ship carriers and VTOL Iowas would possibly useful. If for some fricking reason you were too poor to build Carriers and had a shit ton of Iowas and VTOL planes hanging around.
But it's still simply half assing something it's ironically the same complaint Reformers have about the F-35 the Bradley and the like
>"But you have something that can do a little of everything but if it does everything it does it shittly!"
>Proceed to say how we should make the Iowas do everything shittily.
It would probably be better to strip the superstructure (guns included) off of the Iowas and just fit a raised deck for the whole length of the ship. The problem with that is you would more than likely need a spinal runway and elevators which would seriously complicate the landing and servicing of planes in a real battle. It's doable, and you get a carrier, but not a good one, and it would be expensive to do that refit and operate the boat, and it would need a larger crew for its size, and it would be more difficult to launch and recover planes. The mothball fleet just needs to be scrapped or turned into museums. I would hate to see the Glomar Explorer or Freedom Star melted down, but there's no reason to keep a bunch of no-name transports and other rusty junk around on the off chance that we get into a hot war that requires their reactivation. If the war is going that badly they won't contribute anything meaningful.
More or less you'd turn the Iowas into a rip off Shinano with all of the problems and issues the Shinano had.
Yeah it would be armored, yeah it could do carrier ops but all the armor wouldn't much matter because carriers with destroyed superstructure are just giant floating hulks good for nothing more than absorbing fire.
>giant floating hulks good for nothing more than absorbing fire.
I regret to inform you that's exactly what Sparky wants
>"A PGM breakership would sail with each mini-convoy and act as a PGM firepower magnet absorbing costly torpedoes and missiles into them without stopping or sinking them. These ships could also break seamines to create safe paths for the ships following behind them to get into port."
Damn. He's got an answer for everything.
Imagine if you will a solid mass of nuclear powered steel. 500 feet long, 100 feet wide, 70 feet deep, devoid of all internal air pockets except for what is necessary for the power plant. 30-ft thick armor plates, soaking up the enemy fire without accruing unsightly scratches.
Rugged.
Durable.
Tough.
I can already hear you naysayers parroting
>but Archimedes demonstrated that displacement...
to which I must reply: how long will you swallow the lies of big Shipbuilding. They add the air not to keep the ship afloat, but so they can use less steel and have higher profits. Just think for a moment and you cannot but see the truth that these air peddlers have been scamming the DoD for over a century, swindling the American taxpayer of the rightfully purchased Steel ships with these Swiss-cheesed monstrosities. Stop being sheeple...

We kinda do
i actually agree with his notion of f-18 trying to do everything
us should have made a f-14 replacment
like a navalized f-22 and kept the s-3 in service
Nah, it's time to get meat out of the seat and go full UAS so development can go much faster unburdened by human cargo which limits endurance and max G's.
>seaplanes are the best fricking thing ever.
they are tho
Wasn't the MO load nukes through the top and drop them out of the bottom.
Seaplanes are sweet.
bums me out that the pidgeon toed engines, while aesthetic, made it a b***h to fly.
I am now thinking of the N1K and A6M2-N,planes that were so inferior to their carrier versions it is not even funny.It's as if the constraints of seaplane operation are many times worse than those of carrier usage.
But what else can we expect from James "Blitzfighter" Burton's team?
>all this seaplane autism
I get it. Seaplanes are cool. Too bad he's moronic.
Buuuuuuuuuut
It would be cool if the US were to buy and operate a squadron or two of the Kap's US2 seaplanes out of Guam and Okinawa. For whatever reason, idk. I like seaplanes. For what they are good for though, not trying to stuff them into roles that make no sense.
They would be a better fit for the coast guard.
What about a Blended Wing Body Flying Boat with retractable hydroplanes?
Are you frickers ready to catch hovering F-35s out of the air then store them on an open platform next to VLS cells? No? You some kind of carrier mafia egotist?
This is unbelievably stupid, but it would be pretty cool, ngl. Going to steal sparky's idea for my WW2 in space science fiction story and have a corvette with parasite fighters.
>gozanti i kneel
Wasn't even thinking about that, but honestly, a lot of the empire's shit seems like it'd be right up Sparks' alley. Big Gun capital ship navy, cheap shit equipment that is easy to replace, saturating the enemy with low grade troops, and apparently using cargo ships as tenders for fighter craft.
The Marauder-class Assault Corvette is a good one and even something sparky would create. Internal launch bay that doesn't have enough room for the fighters it's supposed to have and big guns that only face forward. It kinda looks cool too.
Shoot I was actually playing this mod earlier, lots of fun
We won....
they did actually experiment with removing the aft turret from a Fletcher and replacing it with a catapult. Apparently it wasn't worth the loss of firepower and the big ass aviation fuel tank crudely bolted to the deck made the crew nervous.
*an aft turret, it still had two more.
Yeah, I read up on that a few weeks ago. The other problem was that they didn't have enough space for adding any sort of maintenance infrastructure for them. IIRC it was five ships and they were all reverted back to the standard Fletcher fit, with more 20 and 40mm of course.
his ideas work flawlessly in submarine or space combat
just not surface combat
>fricking crane gaming f35s
Im sickened but curious plz more
I’ll give Sparky the benefit of the doubt.
It’s not the stupidest method of recovering aircraft I’ve ever heard.
I’m eyeing the bongs and their flexible rubber decks for that honor.
Seems to work
Sorry, sir, this is a Fun Allowed board. Maybe /misc/ or reddit (lol same thing) would be more your speed?
Also, to be fair, the bongs basically wrote the book on naval air warfare to the point that almost every innovation from catapults to wires to the OLS was bong in origin. So I think they can be allowed the occasional terrible but hilarious idea as well.
Friendly reminder that Japan invented carriers in WW1.
>flexible rubber decks
>stupidest method of recovering aircraft
>mfw
I think this was actually a missed opportunity. It may sound unconvential and therefore counter-intuitive, but that has been the case with every carrier innovation ever.
I recently read Eric Brown's book, in which he declares his absolute confidence in the concept, and that dude knew a thing or two about carrier ops. The idea proved to be sound, if not very practical for the bong navy when it was tested in the 50's. Now imagine if the idea got the attention it deserved and the billions spent on developing carrier aircraft landing gear over the last 70 years were instead spent on R&D of the rubber decks.
I think it could work with modern materials and technologies, and the advantages would still be relevant. As the F-35C shows, landing gear is still one of the most problematic parts of a carrier aircraft's design. Not just maintenance and reliability-wise, but it's also still very heavy and letting it go would significant increase possible munitions/fuel loads for the planes.
>Alreight Bruke jetfighter carrier
I don't think the Brukes have facilities to maintain planes.
>one F-35 in the open
>muh weather protection
Look at the freeboard and how low it is—that F-35 would be that much more exposed to saltwater, ruining the whole plane in hours.
Weather controlled hangars are huge heavy, and expensive. You want none of that on a small destroyer.
>landing pad over VLS cells
Kill me.
>cramming more planes with a fricking crane on top of those VLS cells
Imagine having to do maintenance on those planes in the open. Remember the video of a Bruke nosediving below sea level because the waves were too tall? Imagine it with the back of the ship crammed with F-35s. There is a reason why carriers are so big, Sparks, so that the planes are protected from the environment and have a stable takeoff platform.
>curtains protecting F-35s parked on top of pad e x t e n s i o n s
Ooooooooohhhh shit homie, I completely missed that.
Now the ship will have instability problems because of the heavy pad and all the heavy maintenance elevators to get the fricking equipment to those VLS cell planes, and you actually have two fighter jets dangling over the sides of it.
And propably a reserve F-35 dangling from the crane with the pilot inside because this is Sparks.
Impressive
>Imagine having to do maintenance on those planes in the open
it's not happening at all
IINM the navy just doesn't do any but the barest minimum maintenance on any aircraft on any ship that doesn't have a hangar
it's not humanly possible
>exposed to saltwater, ruining the whole plane in hours
within the week, certainly
>Kill me
>a reserve F-35 dangling from the crane with the pilot inside because this is Sparks.
KEK
>picrel
lightweight folding landing pads are not possible for F-35s; the downward pointing jet would burn a hole in the pad
you might use it exactly once before having to repair the ship
>over VLS cells
correction: you might use it exactly once before having to salvage the ship
>extensions
>what kind of israeli Kabbala magic is "center of gravity" and "topweight"?!?!?!
>It’s not the stupidest method of recovering aircraft I’ve ever heard.
the Skyhook that Sparky is talking was actually trialled, although I think he can't possibly have known otherwise he would have included the image
it was difficult enough to actually work in a land-based trial, see pic, that it wouldn't have been operationally useful in any kind of sea state
also it was a solution looking for a problem since, yknow, carriers
He wants to make RA2 destroyers real?
Okay maybe meet Sparky halfway and store the F-35 amidship?
this isn't an actual power point/presentation that was presented in a professional setting was it? Tell me this wasn't present as it is to a group of official government figures
Nah it was on his blog
Whether it got shown to anyone professionally I don't know, but it was clearly designed to be shown as such
https://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/nonaircraft-carrier-seaplane-defense-of-surface-ships-v50/15945734#1
I like how halfway through explaining how we need to downgrade a Zenith 801s engine (a plane that already only has a payload of 1,000lbs) and use them to visually scout targets, it turns into a pitch for giving air crews 7.62x51 M16s.
A cavalcade of ideas that were found to be really bloody bad back in WW2.
Don’t forget his James Bond conspiracy stuff or his alien obsessions. Sparky is a great example of either schizophrenia or the dangers of autism.
JBIR!
Alright fine, most of you don't like the fantail or amidships idea. That's alright, Sparky's got more solutions:
>Fighter barges
Come on now, this is just pure genius isn't it? You even get a tarp to throw over your plane!
As far as the "FDE-WSSD"....I don't fricking know. I thought it was just a platform, but the image seems to show it in the water so I thought maybe it was a hull extension but it's supposed to be detachable at a moments notice (presumably dumping the planes/crews into the ocean, but they have floats so it's okay).
I love how even when he tries to compromise he ends up trying to sneak his batshit insane seaplane autism in.
why do we care about your obsession with this literal who?
He’s more than just a literal who, he’s been on some radio shows and also got the armored warfare devs to shitpost about him. He’s fascinating in that he takes every lesson from the last 200 years of warfare and completely misses it.
>pic
That is certainly…words.
Wait what did the Armored Warfare devs say?
>doesn't know mike sparks
Honestly.
Fine, enough with trying to make the F-35 work. Seaplanes it is.
>Centaur can even fit into a (…) submarine
Oh Sparky, no.
lmao
now imagine this
the subs work as refuel and rearm platforms primarily
sneaking into enemy waters to enact launches and combat resupplies in an alternate universe where they were still very stealthy and missile tech didn't develop properly.
Submarines? Got good opinions for those too:
>Ever see a F-86D Sabre jet's extending its 24 x 2.75" rocket pod under its nose? Imagine the F-86D upside down and the fuselage is a 300 foot long nuclear submarine and the pod extends all the way from bow to stern. At the bow end of the long pod are 12-24 square tubes with catapults for 12-24 x Model 640 A-4 sized seaplane fighters. The submarine aircraft carrier has underwater stabilizer fins for extra stability when on the surface to compensate for not being a boat hull shape.
>When the USS Wale surfaces, all 12-24 x LT. Jonahs in their Model 640 A-4s are ready to launch in their tubes at 5 second intervals so 1-2 squadrons are gone and in the air within 1-2 minutes. The USS Wale closes its bow (front) and stern (rear) doors and dives. The USS Wale is not exposed on the surface any longer than 2-3 minutes, tops.
>After the LT. Jonahs are done with their mission they fly back to a pre-designated GPS coordinate on the water where a communications relay buoy is floating. Flight leader LT. Jonah radios the buoy which relays by sonar his message to the USS Wale to surface. If the water is calm, all of the A-4 "DuckHawks" lower their hydroskis/wheels and land on the water lining up behind LT Jonah to water taxi into the stern door of the USS Wale's top pod which is a flooded hanger deck.
>Within no more than 12-24 minutes and likely under 5 minutes, all the DuckHawks have entered the hanger deck, the stern and bow doors are closed and the USS Wale is under water invisible once again. The point is that we use the sea and land simultaneously EVERY killer duck and use their seaplane capabilities to taxi in quickly to the hanger instead of accepting a bottleneck that dry deck aircraft carriers have of only landing one aircraft at a time using arrestor wires.
Not that F-35 sub carriers wouldn't be kino, but he does know we can put tomahawks on these, right?
this is why he needs to team up with a science fiction writer lol
he is so moronicly creative its a crying shame
I just want alicorn style railguns and shield systems on aircraft carrying subs is that so much /k?
SALVATION!!!!!!!
MORE floatplane shoehorning
Whoo!
>giant-ass hull needed to have enough space for all of that
>needs to be surfaced for hours at a time when launching or recovering
>can't dive fast if discovered either because it's a fat cow
>"very stealthy"
This shit didn't work out for the Nips in WWII, when ASW and naval search didn't include airborne surface-search radar and even fricking satellites as an omnipresent element.
an alternate universe solves that
It doesn't. Again, this shit didn't work out for the Nips even with WWII conditions. It's an idea that is made obsolete around the same time it becomes technically feasible.
you are once again talking about something an alternate universe would fix.
please learn english or something, moronic thirdy
So where does Pierre Sprey fall into this?
He looks logical and rational in comparison
Yeah, Sprey is relatively rational. He’s just wrong and a liar
Sparky is essentially Sprey and the entire Reformers movement, on roughly two dozen different psychedelic drugs.
Sprey to me seems like a student who studied for the wrong course. His ideas aren't wrong, they're just entirely out of date.
>Sprey said: "The pilot doesn't have time for that crap [datalinks]. You don't want a great big confusing head-up display. You don't want anything that keeps the pilot from swiveling his head. Clearing your six o'clock is just as important as it ever was". A fighter pilot, Sprey said, "needs to concentrate on fighting."
Meanwhile Sparks seems like the kid that decided that orange is the best color and will fight tooth and nail to argue that every car needs to be painted orange.
I mean, he came up with this, so it balances out.
Is this not being a frick up? I feel like i presented this i would be a frick up
what the frick is this? this broke me. disks as wings? where am I. am I the schizophrenic?
There is nothing wrong with building mass tunnels in solid rock.
You can use them for lots of things and they will be used by your children and your children's children.
They will never be obsolete, because you always need storage.
Sparks issue lies with airbases, he knows that American airbases can be rendered useless with fabric biplanes as they are impossible to shoot down with modern weapons. So naturally land our fighters by flying them into mountain tunnels
>So why not have a squadron of Swarm Fighters dispersed over a large area that's well-camouflaged and have them touch-down onto grassy "pads" leading down at a slight downward angle into tunnels where perhaps nylon mesh barriers catch them and slow them down gradually (not instantly like on aircraft carriers). Once "caught", the pilot shuts the engine down and after the net on a track slows to a stop, he gets out. The Swarm Fighter is turned around to face upwards on the track and is refueled, rearmed etc. for launch in the other direction. The benefits of Tunnel Launch and Recovery (T-LAR) is that earth is cheap; once you dig it and seal it, its yours and you can make it as long as you want to insure by the time the Swarm Fighter reaches the end opening ramp angle, its got more than enough lift for take-off. If something goes wrong, the pilot can actually ABORT and have the track brake him to a stop--you cannot do this in either land or aircraft carrier-based aviation!
>the sad fact is that we don't have aircraft that can fly constantly like birds
Goddamn, this man has never seen a bird before.
Some birds can stay in the air for months at a time. For example, a common swift wearing a telemetric backpack was observed to have remained in the air for 10 months
is that true wtf? no sleep?
Does that guy want to get trampled? Why does he repeatedly intentionally fall down?
>they don't know
This was an earlier model but was withdrawn because it was less convincing.
>OK, imagine you are in a Little Bird helicopter. I prefer NOTAR. You can use a tail rotor type if you like. You have entered the battlefield from the air. You haven't spotted the enemy but you know he's around but if you keep flying you have to return to base. So you pick out a hide site and land. You fold your rotor blades. On your left and right skids are rubber tracks powered by electric hubs via a battery pack charged by your turbine engines. The roadwheels float if you land in water.
>With your turbine engine in idle you engage the tracks and drive across country like a tracked ground vehicle into your hide site.There you shut down your engine and throw a camo net over your Little Bird but have battery power run your mast head Image Intensifier and FLIR sensors all night looking for the enemy.
>At 0300 hours, the enemy is detected: a 6-man sabotage roadside bomb team. Your scouts engage with assault rifles and rifle grenades and kill 2 but the other 2 flee. You uncover the camo net, throw it in the back. Unfold the rotors and crank up the turbine engine. The Little Bird takes off and you pursue the 2 bad guys running for the border. You see them on the FLIR ball and engage with 2.75" Hydra 70mm rockets. They are blasted to bits. Mission accomplished.
>40mph
i can only imagine
I’m pretty sure a Little Bird wouldn’t be able to fly with tracks as landing gear. It certainly wouldn’t have any useful payload.
Hmm, maybe we need to go bigger then
>We could start with a UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter and making it an Autogyro and a ground vehicle.
>Remove the entire tail and transmission. Replace the landing gear with two sponsons with 3 all-terrain tires, the front/rear axles pivot for steering, connected to an electric drive motor. Have the electrical batteries recharge by the spinning of the rotors. Change the rotors to lighter types that can be easily removed and stored along the top roof during ground vehicle operations. Remove all the helicopter plumbing and replace with a simpler Autogyro flight system. Put a MMS system on top the rotor head from an OH-58D Kiowa Warrior. The Blackhawk already has ESSS winglets for ordnance to be fired from it, and side mounts for machine guns. Troops leave out side sliding doors. Design and fit a retractable tail for flight control and the jet exhaust.
>You now have a "down and dirty" Flying (Autogyro) APC, the GRIFFON.

That said he does have a point that a lot of US Armed Forces equipment is FAR more expensive than it needs to be. It's just that his proposed solutions are...not good, and he has a fixation on equipment that was in use back when he was in the service before his mind started going.

Man, these ones are just depressing. A guy who's insistent that we should put tank tracks on a little bird is funny, that same man completely fried from reality is another thing. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if he's got a badly done drawing of a Hell-invasion variant of the M113
There's two sides of the man. The first is the so-stupid-they're-funny 'ideas' of combatreform.org Mike Sparks. The second is the borderline Time Cube-level of schizo that is "1st Tactical Studies Group - Airborne" Mike Sparks. The comedic and the tragic.
he's like if terry davis was just some jarhead instead of being an engineer.
Wasn't the schizo autism something that started happening later in his life?
It got visibly worse. He has no actual understanding of machinery beyond the simplest concepts and regards being questioned as a personal attack. The autism is epic.
He has no concept of aircraft maintenance and that seaplanes existed somehow proves to him they're the same thing in maintenance terms as wheeled airframes and similar it combat turn times.

Beyond everything else somehow that closer stands out in the insanity
You have to understand, there is no bottom to Sparks madness. Every time you dig further, you WILL find something more moronic. Even better, the other anon also exploring his site will have the opposite journey, discovering things you found earlier and saying: "holy shit THIS is even worse".
Like yeah here he's saying we should have bolted 40(!) Liberty ships together in the middle of the Pacific and flown B-29s off them at Japan, but in another article he argues that we should cut every soldier's ammo count in half because 50% of soldiers are cowards who won't fire their weapons and the brave troops can just take their bullets.
>50% of soldiers are cowards who won't fire their weapons
Why am I not surprised he'd be parroting Grossman/SLA Marshall?
>pic of insanity
...he really doesn't understand the concept of inclement weather, does he?
Or that Liberty ships were cheap, delicate as freighters are to hold max cargo, and so poorly welded failures were common (primitive stick electrodes, primitive alloys and noob welders are a bad combination. I weld and was curious.)
Tbf, CVE's were built on the Liberty Ship hull and worked fine enough. It's the strapping multiple hulls to a massive, inflexible runway thing that would cause this shit to end extremely badly the moment it meets a mildly choppy sea state.
CVEs being tied together by very different internals to support flight ops and control damage would be much stronger than a break bulk freighter with the same external hull.
The Long Island-, Charger- and Bogue-class were all built on Type C3 cargo ship hulls. The first two classes and 22 of the Bogues were LITERALLY conversions of existing freighters.
And LMAO, damage control. There's a reason the going joke was that CVE stands for Combustible, Vulnerable, Explosive. And you know what internals to support flight ops means? It means a giant, open-sided hangar spanning most of the ship below the flight deck. Not exactly conducive to hull strength, either.
It's not the hulls that's the issue with Sparkys brainfart. It's lashing multiple hulls together with a rigid mega-flightdeck laid above them all in this long line. Because waves are going to hit the seperate hulls at different times and essentially snap that entire flightdeck apart the moment it runs into a mildly bad wave the first time.
C3 cargo ships and Liberty Ships are different designs.
He thinks James Bond was a real person and somehow this relates to Ian Fleming being killed to cover up the JFK assassination. The fact he writes James Bond x Indiana Jones cross-over fanfiction makes one wonder if he also thinks Raiders of the Lost Ark was a documentary. He's never outright stated as such but it would be on brand if he did.
Other wild Sparky Takes:
- The alien invasion subplot was cut from the watchman movie because it was to close to the illumanati's actual plans
- The Moon landing was fake but also the illumanati pedo deepstate went to the moon in AGC to plant fake evidence as part of the hoax
- Flat Earth is a conspiracy by the Rockefeller deepstate pedo elites to corrupt zoomers by denying them knowledge of god's round earth
- That when giving a skype interview on your james bond conspiracy theory the most professional attire is Indiana Jones cosplay
- The path to peace for the middle east is for Switzerland to annex the Gaza Strip by force

This one is definitely my favorite. Even when compared to other schizos, Sparky is still a bit out there.
Schizos are the most homogenized demographic in existence. It’s like reverse autism, you actually lose your unique hyperfocus over time and end up talking about the exact same bullshit as every other schizo.
He's got the same type of english language as /misc/ users.
Faith /=/ schizophrenia
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this man doesn't have a good grasp of theology. Isn't he writing James Bond porn fanfics, too?
I think "Bigfoot is a demon from outer space" is textbook schizo.

It's != you mongrel.
That said he is actually schizoid. The faith has nothing to do with it, he's just actually batshit.
>It's !=
=/= closer approximates the sign
Use $ne$ or $neq$ for ≠.
You are using a computer. != is the binary equality operator for not equal to. If you want to scribble stupid old signs go back to parchment and pigeons.
>!= is the binary equality operator for not equal to
That depends on the programming language, <> is also common. /= and =/= at least exist in Erlang.

I think I figured out where Russia got their ideas
this is – bar none – the most moronic thing I've ever read.
What, exactly, is he arguing here?
Apparently land mines need human activation and you need to lay them indiscriminately across your entire country.
In the following slides, he argues that tracked vehicles can go anywhere and thus hard counter insurgents, while wheeled Strykers are deathtraps as they are limited to on-road movement
There is no bottom to Sparks moronation. This man has argued that we should bolt F-35s together, F-82 style, then use them to carry a cargo pod containing a full platoon of infantry.

$600 ash trays are an ancient political meme for a reason. Government anything is massively overpriced because it's easy to hide embezzlement in a budget report thicker than a bible that nobody will ever read. In nearly every case, both government and private, you can get around 80% of the top performance for about 20-30% of the top price.
>$600 ash trays are an ancient political meme for a reason
because idiots through the ages are unable to grasp that bureaucracy inflicts costs
>Government anything is massively overpriced because
it deals with massive problems on the biggest scale that human civilisation can fathom, while at the same time being impossible to be held accountable for and not having the advantages of being short-term-competitive like for-profit corporations are

D-do you think you have an impact?
The KJV is just not a very good translation. Also King James I was rather fricking strange as far as kings go.
it may not be the most accurate and may only be merely a good enough translation, but it is very poetic and by far the most culturally influential version
You don't have to be a fedora atheist to think the KJV is deeply wrong in terms of theology.

>average 1TSG proposal
We need to create a HEAVILY ARMORED, extremely FAST, low-profile, well-camouflaged Civil-War style "blockade runner" ship (BRS) that would NOT have complex electronics but would be a training ship for ALL Navy personnel to "know what RIGHT looks like" via a short training cruise to "earn" surface warrior rating. A sort of at-sea armored M113 Gavin, but for the Navy. Thus, for at least 1 period of time, the Sailor would know what a FIGHTING ship and a FIGHTING crew would and should be like; setting the PHYSICAL standard that the larger, cluttered with electronics and bureaucracy ships need to address.
Training BRS crews would:
a. Defend selves from simulated port attacks with infantry weapons and ship guns
b. Attack pirates at sea and board their vessels
c. Launch/recover SEALs
d. Perform actual firefighting and damage control to save the ship
e. Actually go into the water and have to swim selves to shore and survive using SERE techniques, taking along their weapons and survival gear
f. Fight off a simulated enemy ground force using infantry weapons
g. Simulate torpedo attacks on larger enemy vessels
EVERYONE will eat HARD TACK and preserved beef and pork. The ROYAL NAVY understood the importance of eating proper food, not the Satanic corporate israeli Illuminati Freemason slop filled with SUGAR and preservatives and chemicals which they serve in US Navy messes and DFACs, and the Royal Navy RULED the oceans for hundreds of years. Eating proper food is good for the soul and makes a MAN a MAN! There should be no Culinary Specialists in the US Navy. All crews shall be divided into 8-man messes, and 1 man from each mess will act as designated cook for the day. This will eliminate WASTEFUL manpower requirements and teach SERVANT LEADERSHIP and LIFE SKILLS!!! The US Navy will be a FIGHTING NAVY!!!
All US Navy sailors will eat the following every day:
a. 1 lb of hard tack with NO ADDED SUGARS or PRESERVATIVES
b. 1 lb of chicken, beef, pork or fish, only BOILED or ROASTED as God and Scipio Aemilianus Africanus intended
c. 1 oz of lime juice, which the ROYAL NAVY discovered was sufficient to prevent SCURVY
d. 70ml of 95-proof BLACK TOT RUM mixed with 140ml of water to make a delicious, healthy, and MORALE-BOOSTING drink
the US NAVY shall be a HARD TACK AND RUM Navy and shall rule the waves with its HEAVILY ARMORED, extremely FAST, low-profile, well-camouflaged Blockade Runner Ships(tm)!!

Sparky's absolute hatred of nearly every branch/role is impressive as well. From only two articles on his site we have:

>The U.S. military is composed of at least 50% narcissistic egomaniacs
>marines are taking heavy casualties...because they are STUPID
>moronic historians
>weak heavy tanker egos
>egomaniac infantrymen who don't realize they need assault fire support that even the uber-narcissistic Germans realized
>a lesson the moronic USMC can't fathom--if it wants a future at all--it damn well better get light tanks that can FLY
>dumb, lazy Type B personality tankers who want turrets so they can play "land battleship"
>We are bureaucratic dumbasses today. NOT professionals

Unironically, go Royal Navy. Kink

>Royal Navy. Kink
You sound like rum, lashes and sodomy kind of guy.
The ROYAL NAVY ruled the waves for over two hundred years. Admiral Nelson won the Battle of Trafalgar against overwhelming odds. He did it with a fleet of sailors who ate good Christian communally-prepared HARD TACK, whole foods, and RUM. Rum increases good cholesterol and improves the flow of blood, and helps reduce stress, enhance social interactions, and the MORALE and COHESION of the SHIP'S COMPANY. Napoleon Bonaparte said "The morale is to the physical as three is to one!" The Royal Navy beat the French and Spanish Navies because they were well-trained, well-fed, and DISCIPLINED. Captain Jack Aubrey said "Men must be governed!" America is corrupt and riddled with MORAL DECAY because we no longer practise CORPORAL PUNISHMENT. The US Armed Forces MUST bring back LASHES. ALL US Navy ships will rig gratings for punishment on Sundays, the LORD'S DAY. Spare the lash and spoil the sailor!! Sodomy enhances MORALE and COHESION amongst a ship's company. In Ancient Greece, older men would take young recruits under their wing and teach them how to love and how to WIN IN WAR. The Sacred Band of Thebes was made up of elite SODOMITES bound to their fighting partners by the bonds of LOVE. At the Battle of Leuctra, they defeated the feared Spartans, and were considered the most invincible fighting regiment in all of Greece. The US Armed Forces will move from the flawed, weak, ineffective Buddy System of today to the superior Buggery System!! Soldiers, sailors and airmen will all SODOMIZE their Battle Buggery Buddies at least once a week, to enhance tactical COOPERATION and unit COHESION.
The US Navy shall be a RUM, LASHES and SODOMY Navy!!!

Now, I ain’t a culinary expert or anything.
But isn’t soup one of the last food items you’d want in combat? Especially with MREs being a thing.
The part that confuses me is that its a mindset that worked once, but centuries ago, and directly led to cholera epidemics when someone would shit, wipe, and then fist frick the communal food bowl. Could it work now that we have a israeli SATANIC HANDWASHING CANCELCULTURE?
>soup
IF IT WORKED IN WW1 IT WORKS NOW DAMMIT
JBIR 3:16!!
the objection is more that a thick chunky stew (which is what Continental armies really mean by "soup") while being indeed optimally efficient for civvy innawoods purposes is just totally unworkable in modern times when squads and fireteams are spread out over significant distances in individual vehicles or fighting positions and grabbing quick bites throughout the day whenever convenient.
leaving aside the logistics of assembling that much meat, carbs, water, etc in one centralised kitchen and then distributing the contents without pulling men off the front line ("grab and go" my arse) you cannot risk an entire platoon going hungry just because a mortar hit the communal soup cauldron. MREs won't have that problem because they take zero preparation and can be distributed and consumed much faster. ironically for Sparks who screams DISPERSION!! in the very same paragraph, he cannot understand this.
What really gets to me about Mike Spark's "groundbreaking" ideas that will "revolutionize" warfare is that he seems to have a bizarre fetish for things that fly low and slow, when SHORAD was one of the very few things that the USSR and their Russian descendants actually invested more in than the US.
Like, 90% of the shit he comes up with (the AeroGavin being the most egregious) has been hard-countered EVEN WHEN HE WAS IN SERVICE so he doesn't even have the excuse of being an out-of-touch boomer who still things that air warfare still involves the same epic dogfights as WW2/Korea.
I blame Vietnam for Buckbreaking so many in the US military because it completely went against what they thought of "Our high technology can defeat anything"
And the Reformers continue to see every war after that as a simple fluke of "It doesn't count in a real peer to peer war our strategies will fail!
The thing is that if the hands of the AF and Navy weren't tied Vietnam could have been mostly won from the air. The reason that the bombing raids had such a poor track record was down to restricted flight paths and ROE that allowed the very small Vietnamese AF to ambush bombers. When half of the Vietnamese AF was wrecked and the bombing raids could actually drop on target instead of making fireballs in empty jungle the red regulars and guerillas got destroyed. Everyone remembers the shock of the Tet offensive but they forget how the American and South Vietnam retaliation absolutely destroyed the VC. In understand why Nixon wanted to withdraw when he did, but a last big push with air power and shore bombardment could have won the war before that happened.
Dogfight are still completely feasible, bud.

He's literally the one who came up with calling it that in the first place, and has been pushing it with absolutely autistic determination ever since.

I know there's a theory that blacktaildefense was him but I've never bought into it. iirc blacktail mentioned being a student at a college at one point which doesn't line up with what we know of Mike Sparks.
Blacktail was a definite Sparky sockpuppet. Making false claims about their background is a staple tactic Sparky and his socks engage in.

Robovoice saves the day:
I came across this guys stuff years ago on youtube, thought they were ok at first but holy shit does it devolve into hyper fixated autism about the m113 and seaplane shit. I'm a mechanical engineer now and none of this shit is actually feasible btw, the aerogavin is basically an attack helicopter like the mi-24 hind, but he hates helicopters so idk. You cant really use seaplanes anymore because everyone has belt fed machine guns, radar anti air guns, missiles etc. Drones already can do the "scouting" if not for satellites. I swear everyone goes through some moronic military gun designer phase thinking they will conquer china or something with their vastly superior arsenal of autistic weaponry.
We need love, not war.
JAMES BOND IS REAL!!!
I watched some of that stuff too, I thought the M113 was actually called Gavin and one time I called it that on an internet discussion and the other guy was like "hold on, there's only one weirdo who calls it Gavin". And that's how I was introduced to combatreform and 1st Tactical Studies Group (Airborne).
i mean people will call it a Gavin here too, but it's a coin flip on if it's a meme or not
It isn't really a bad name for it.
Should we petition to retroactively name it Gavin? Just so he could feel some joy?
the name in itself isn't what is funny about it, it's Sparky's relentless insistence on the name
