The Tactical Kaiju Challange

Majin Gojira · Post by **Majin Gojira** » 2003-01-02 06:55pm

For the tactitions in the house.

Godzilla (Heisie or Millenium, take your pick) appears of the coast of a large American city and heads for the shore. You are in control of the American armed forces. You know that your weapons have only minimal if any effectiveness against him and because of his proximity to the city, you are not alloud to use nuclear weapons.

Objective: Defeat or get Godzilla away from the city with as few casualties as possible.

What do you do?

Take some Apaches and try to lob a few Hellfires into Godzilla's mouth. Hopefully that'll sever his spinal cord

Constant steam of Maverick armed F-16's, rain of B-52 dropped quickstrike mines, F-15's haul in LGB's. I'd fly in as many attack helicopters as possibul and have them keep hitting the same area with Hellfire's. Others would go for the eyes. Hundreds of missile teams and tanks would be massed and all be ordered to go for the same area of his belly.

Meanwhile I fire up the hypersoar/Aurora/techno wank uber craft that any nation attacked by the real Godzilla must have.

BLU-82s

Well seeing as how most coventional weapons really won't do much, just hit him where it hurts most and use my men to lurge him away.. that or try and get ahold of a few cadmium missiles.

FAEs, nerve gas, A giant movie set of Tokyo constructed over a volcano to lure him into attacking and falling in. Tune in every guided weapon in our arsenal to track in by remote sensors, and never actually enter line of site of him. Launch a Space shuttle, and have it crash into him from orbit. Remove all Depleted Uranium munitions from service on the off chance they have enough radiation to jumpstart him back to life. I would also enlist the aid of every sci-fi fan in the nation for ideas to bring him down.

Hmm, nerve gas might be a good option as targeting him might be difficult.
I suppose if nerve gas wasnt an option (too big a chance of people suing when they die or something...) then I'd make use mostly of apaches and other attack helicopters. Use them to search for him then follow him.....scrable everything the USAF can get into the air and drop it on him.....
Ground forces, despite thier greater relative firepower would be of limited use due to manouverability and the general squishiness factor.

So air power all the way.....napalm enema anyone?

Also, create a gigantic snare trap out of the most durable metal I can find, lay it in his path, and use the Seventh Fleet towing it to yank him back out to sea. If all else fails, armor up the monstrosity they used to move Saturn Rockets into position, and have it run him over.

A big, big, big, deep hole and lots of them covered with insufficient-to-support-gojira-weight covering blended into the background.

Grab some electrical cords, wrap around, turn it on, and watch the fireworks.

Tsyroc · Post by **Tsyroc** » 2003-01-03 09:30am

I always thought it might be interesting to use A-10s against G, especially when targetting the eyes.

As for the rest I'd fail miserably because I'd want to see G trash some stuff. Burn baby burn.

Coaan · Post by **Coaan** » 2003-01-03 09:45am

Hm....I would first appeal to his stomach with a primed trap consisting of a top layer of fish with a second(and third) layer of high explosive...possibly thermite..when he took a nice big jaw full....give it a few minutes and BOOM! dino burgers (or whatever the hell he is) for all!

Darth_Shinji · Post by **Darth_Shinji** » 2003-01-03 11:24am

The ironic thing is that most of these have already been tried.

You guys haven't watched enought Godzilla movies if you think any of this can kill him.

I would take Heisi Godzilla and use the same tatic from Godzilla 1989 (I think thats the year).

Why they didn't countinue to use that every time he showed up is beyound me.

Build nukclear power plants on an island, lure him there with the waves, and then set it up as a Godzilla perserve.

It's 1985. Do you mean firing missiles into his mouth or that thing they did at the end that I forgot what it was?

Thanks.

At the end of the movie they use waves (though I can't remember the whole deal other than it had something to do with segals) to attact Godzilla into a volcano. I would either attract him to another volcano or an island, prob an island cuase even if another bunch of idiots don't release him again he might leave eventaul to eat more nuclear materal anyway.

Really, they've had Seventh fleet try to pull him out to sea? They crashed a space shuttle into him from orbit? We've seen them engaging him with indirect fire guided missiles excusiely without entering LOS? Which specific movies please so I can watch them.

SylasGaunt · Post by **SylasGaunt** » 2003-01-03 02:33pm

Depends on whether or not he'd fall for it a second time

Anyway I know the futility of trying to kill him, so luring him off seems to be the best options.

Analysis of Battle Plans:

Jaeger115's Plan: Variation on a similar plan. last time it was done with Cadmium missles (Godzilla 1985), only proved to be a temporary KO.

Seas Skimmers Plan: Variation on Classic 'Godzilla Battle Plan', might actually anger him enough to drive him away. but the loses would be heavy -- Godzilla has knocked choppers outof the sky, even fighters.

Howedar's plan: High Level Bombing? Possibly. minimal casualties, but litte overall effectiveness.

SylasGaunt's plan: Effective, but costly

consequences's Plan: Trying to find out what FAE's are....can't comment on them till I do. Otherwise, I have to say it, the plans presented have consequences. SHOWA godzilla survived cyanide gas, poisoning a creature who's blood is already toxic can prove to be a difficult problem - aside from which, you're near a city. chemical weapons would be No-no-ed (should have said that earlier...). Giant Movie set of Tokyo not enough time too do it, nor is it an effective lure (but I know that was just a silly suggestion). Guided weapons, believe it or not, been done with only minimal success. Space shuttle idea might do some major damage to him, though. but the blast might damage the city.

Part 2: giant Snare Trap...Might work, but it would only be a temporary solution, really. he might head back, and he wouldn't fall for the same trap twice. (need to disguise it differently).

keevan_Colton's Plan: Airial bombardmant, napalm, might actually drive him away, if it's enough firepower. but the loses would be greater than you'd think. He's knocked choppers and jets out of the sky (Gvs. Biollante, G and Mothra: the Battle for Earth).

SWIGWANG's Plan: Already tried, only slowed him down. need to burry him as well for any long term delay.

Darth Garden Gnomes Plan: Original film tried this - with barbed wire lining. Didn't even slow him down. Heisie is much more powerful, it would take A LOT to even get him to flinch.

Tsyroc: Targeting the eyes and other sensitive points might work, or just piss him off.

Coaan's Plan: Heisie and Millenium Godzilla's feed on Nuclear Enegy. Plan Fails. but, if a similar trap were concocted with radation as the bait...you'd just piss him off.

Darth_Shinji's Plan: Might work, but only for Heisie's mind.

SylasGaunt: Lure him out to see...might actually work, and less expendeture of military hardware/fewest casualties. but first ya gotta find out if he's going to go feed, or to fight another monster that's about to rise...

SylasGaunt · Post by **SylasGaunt** » 2003-01-03 04:24pm

Costly plan yes, but it's better than how costly it would be if he got loose in a city.

I said most didn't I? True they are mostly variations from the actually movies but still shouldn't work.

As for this above? Lets see...

How are you going to keep godzilla from burning the cables off? Or destroy the fleet and returning to land?

How are going to keep him from destroying the shuttle when he see's it? He has a good range on that sucka in some movies and can hit fast objects. Though to be honest this is prob the most unique one and has the most chance for success. But I doubt even a direct hit would kill him or buy alot of time.

And guided missles would just make him follow where they are coming from or ingnoring them and getting more pissed when he finally hits a well-populated area.

Andrew J. · Post by **Andrew J.** » 2003-01-03 05:09pm

Turn off all the power in the city. Have diesel-fueled only worships attack him from maximum range. Have a shitload of uranium being carried around by an unmanned cargo plane flying somewhere around the ships. Godzilla will head back out to sea to feed and attack his foes. Have the ships turn tail and run as fast as possible. Leave the cargo plane and the uranium for Godzilla to eat so he doesn't return to land looking for food.

SylasGaunt · Post by **SylasGaunt** » 2003-01-03 05:12pm

Well it's radiation he feeds on not uranium.. if it was Uranium there are much better places for the big G to get it.

An even better idea: Forget the military forces and call in a favor from Goku.

One Kamemaha later: Problem solved.

Keevan_Colton · Post by **Keevan_Colton** » 2003-01-03 06:48pm

My notion was to keep the choppers well back and just use them to keep track of where he is....drop the ordenance from mid altitude and unless he borrows some wings off mothra then he's going to have trouble eating my airforce....
*chuckles*
As for enough firepower....I always felt the US Military prided itself on having enough firepower to blow up everything.....

Keevan.

Darth Garden Gnome · Post by **Darth Garden Gnome** » 2003-01-03 07:00pm

Ok, maybe not electricity (did they try it on him in the water?). What about a giant freeze ray! All chemical processes to stop at 0 degrees C after all....you might be able to freeze the bastard! All you need to do is have Dr. Weird invent it.
