Soon the game won't need funding because it will be eligible for retirement pension

Gross, and I thought Rust was bad enough.

Taiwan doesn't need to sink every PLAN ship, they just need to make the political cost of enforcing a blockade higher than the CPC can afford.

Ukraine has area-denied Russia's most important warm water port and most of the black sea from use by the Russian surface fleet with a small handful of homebrew ASMs and some jetskis painted black with a barrel of RDX strapped to them. And Finland did hold off the red army alone once already.

Well neither is the PLANs supply of artificial reefs

Appear to maneuver when you are encamped, appear to encamp when you are maneuvering. All warfare is based on deception.

That's why cats pretend they want to go outside, but when you open the door they just sit there.

My kingdom for a nickel!

Losing the hardware constraints made devs less innovative too. The Crash Bandicoot devs had to hack the PlayStation's system memory allocation to squeeze a bit more out of the machine so their game could be better.

Have they considered not spending half a billion dollars giving hair strands shadow effects, and instead developing interesting stories?

You can't enforce a naval blockade when the adversary is flush with ASMs is all I'm saying. And you can't enforce a naval blockade with only subs either.

It doesn't take too many ASMs to sink some really important assets. Size isn't really important, if one of the mainland's carriers is within a couple hundred KMS of Taiwan, then it's in the kill zone. Supersonic maneuvering missiles that work in gps-denied environments and can be sea, air and land launched are just the sort of weapon that works great in an asymmetric conflict and to break naval blockades. The blocader has to defend against every single inbound, the adversary only needs to get one missile through the defenses

Doesn't Taiwan have well over a thousand modern ASMs in inventory, and manufacturing hundreds more annually? How would mainland China enforce an encirclement by sea for any length of time with that sort of threat?

Chickens get the day off

Naval blockades don't really work when your adversary has a limitless supply of antiship missiles
