Try to name one thing more worthless than War Elephants Veeky Forums

>battle starts
>elephants panic and shit themselves, then ram into each other and their allies
>elephant traumatized for life

Greco-Mediterrenean Elephant Warfare where the idiots deployed them like cavalry and without escorting infantry.

>Pajeets field entire armies of war elephants
>still get conquered by Muslims again and again and again

Lmao

The Muslims used elephants themselves.

Same mistake the Stormniggers made with tanks lmao.

anti tank dogs.
The red army had a great idea and decided to strap high explosives to dogs and train them to run under tanks to blow up. problem is they trained them on fake tanks that couldn't move or shoot so when they deployed them to the front line they either stood still or got scared and ran back into the trenches and blew up killing soviet troops and anyone who criticized this program were gulag'd

additionally, some of them were trained using spare/wrecked T-34s, so those that did their job targeted soviet tanks by asociation

That's so stupid. Who came up with it?

good old soviet ingenuity

some dumb slavnigger

So how did they use elephants? Just like mobile archer towers?

They also had the "Parasite Fighter", pic related. The idea was to give some fighter cover on bombing missions that went far enough that the bombers could make it to the target and back, but the then-existing fighters wouldn't have the range.

The solution? Strap 3-4 fighters to some of your bombers, and if enemy trouble shows up, you'll drop the fighters off, hope they can start their engines before they crash and die, and then have them fight off the enemy fighters, before running out of fuel and THEN crashing and dying.

>implying they weren't already traumatised to a horrific level
You don't get an animal that powerful to march into certain death by being nice to it.

To be fair, the US came up with the concept of using Zeppelins as aerial carriers at that same time

>when you design a bomber after downing a bottle of vodka

They also had the idea of coating bats in napalm and releasing them over the wood and paper Japanese cities... Cept that actually worked.

More elephants

Elephants are primarily shock weapons that forced openings in enemy ranks. The missile platform served as a bonus. In later centuries they also carried artillery or very large muskets. They also scared horses.

Thing is the Poos and Southeast Asians have long realized that the thing is truly vulnerable only in the flanks. So they assigned a bunch of infantrymen to guard its sides as it went into the attack.

It was a very dangerous role since Elephants were deployed in formation which means escorting infantrymen had to run alongside their assigned elephant as the whole group charged.

Tactically lacking but at least she had balls and the right attitude.

Point I was making is that both designs were mostly experiments that never took off in any quantity.

Kind of the opposite actually

You know she wasn't a Saint but if someone raped my daughters, and I had the means, what she did is precisely what I'd do, except maybe I would have tried an envelopment and not allowed civilians to form an impenetrable wall of supply caravans or any of the dumb things she did, tribal politics permitting.

>Kind of the opposite actually
The only people who care about Boudica are the British

The Irish are sufficiently in the British media bubble to be aware of her, and for obvious reasons are anti-imperialist enough that some of us admire what she was trying to do.

>Kind of the opposite actually
What's the opposite of a britbong?
Jerry? French? Irish?

literally Alamo tier

OP

Italians

Literally worse in every regard

point is both nations celebrate getting their asses handed to them

We don't really worship the final defeat, we inflate the minor victories that led up to it.

Daily reminder that most of her amey was composed of civilians who followed their soldiers to war.

Women

meanwhile, boudicca had two ponies and no tricks

Her daughters did a lot of tricks for the roman soldiers

Thats actually what the british did, not germans

This is inaccurate. African Forest Elephants, used by Carthage, were not large enough to mount towers onto. The Seleucids are known for that, with their larger Indian Elephants.

Carthage had men sit directly on the elephant, likely with some some sort of padding/saddle.

Those elephants were specifically trained for this. If you think that elephants panic and fuck up then horses are not much better
