Look at it, each race represents an aspect of American Society.
Gallenteans - Freedom, Liberty, and Patriotism, but have a history of doing less than ideal things to achieve what is in their best interest.
Caldari - Greedy Corporatocracy and their control over Media and Politics. Just like the Real World, Money Talks in New Eden. War and Conflict is in interest to those seeking to profit from it.
Amarrians - Fanatic Religious Fundamentalists who in history have been slave owners. The Bible Belt in America are heavily religious and in the past were slave owners before getting their ass handed to them in the Civil War.
Minmatar- Is about Black People. The enslavement of the negro-race and the continued hardships and crime that occur in majority of the life of Black People after the emanicipation of slavery. They have a high adversion to the Southern Religious Fanatics who have over the years oppressed them. |

Then how come Black People can only be Minmatar and not any other race?

WRONG!!! USSR had all their own equipment, just not a lot of it to begin with, but by the end of the war, their arms production had far exceeded that of the USSR.
Seriously, go look up -
- T-26 and T-38 light tanks, T-24, T-28, T-34, and T-44 MBTs - Illyushin fighter planes of WWII - oh yeah, let's not forget the infamous Nagant rifles they used to get some of the highest sniper rates in WWII - far better riflemen than US troops for the simple fact that to defeat the germans, one rifle had to kill more than 30 enemy troops - and they came very close to that rate.
You need to learn some history, or at least defer to those who know it better instead of pretending like you know everything

Your ignorance and blindness depress me and clearly you know nothing about economics. Let me guess: Romney voter?
The whole world is tied together now since globalization. Globalization is exactly what the multinational corporations you are leaping to the defense of wanted! The very people right wingers ferociously defend are the same people that took their jobs and sent the US economy into a toilet. And the wingnuts do it because they hate intellectuals and "hippies," and they're more than willing to take marching orders from a television.
Newsflash: Who do you think invented computers? Who do you think invented computer science? Who do you think programmed this game? HINT: It wasn't belligerent American rednecks and rabid anti-liberal nationalists.
It isn't the 19th century anymore. You think we can survive without them? They go down, we go down. You want to see a country that's going to survive into the 22nd century? Germany. You want to see one that isn't unless we change our direction? Us.

USSR did reverse engineer a lot of things during the war, after all it was from supplying them better equipment and technology that they were able to make good things.
Not that I am discrediting their feats, to say that USSR did it all by themselves with no outside help is simply not true. |

They were able to do it because they completely nationalized their education and science structure. Anybody smart enough to hack it got a spot and their ideas were followed. Unlimited funding for engineering. The AK-47 is a permanent, enduring testament to Russian engineering. No one can deny that. A gun you can drop, drown, let rust, and fill up with sand and it still shoots straight, year after year after year.
A Russian college professor invented NMR as part of his quantum mechanics class during the cold war - NMR is the predecessor of MRI, and it's used everywhere in science today. He never got a Nobel Prize. |

The USSR had the most advanced tanks on the planet during WW2. 100% Russian engineering.
FYI, German scientists copied the Soviet tanks, and still the Tigers and Panzers were outperformed. TEST Alliance BEST Alliance |

The AK-47 heavily based upon the STG.44 which was the world's first assault rifle. You only need to look at the designs to see the striking similarities. the difference was that the AK-47 used a shorter version (7.62 x 39mm) of the 7.62 x 54 R round, while the STG.44 was a shorter version of the 8mm mauser hence the name "Kurtz". (7.92 x 33 mm) The bolt was based on the M1 Garand assault rifle. It is by no means the best rifle, it was simply cheap, easy to produce, and had good reliability.

Anyway, back to the original topic:
Gallente are very obviously French. Their culture is hardly American, the US does not focus on individual freedom, it focuses on corporate freedom.
Caldari are closest in game to the US. Militaristic and focused on corporations above citizens.
Amarr and Minmatar have no real-world equivalents. They are a more fantasy based "religious zealots versus freedom fighters" trope. TEST Alliance BEST Alliance |

American shermans were fairly poor.
The T-34 is probably not as awesome as you think:
" It can be argued that the T-34 was a GÇÿwar winningGÇÖ tank on a strategic level, but this should not detract from the fact that at a tactical level its performance during four years of continuous war was relatively poor"
"The Soviets achieved strategic success, but paid an exceptionally high price; approximately 44,900 of the T-34s were lost out of a total of 96,500 fully tracked AFVs lost compared with only 32,800 for the Germans (this includes all SP guns, SP artillery, and several thousand vehicles captured when Germany surrendered on the East Front) during all of WW2; a global loss ratio of 2.94 to 1 in favour of the Germans." |

That, my friend, is why it is the best rifle on the planet.
Anyone can buy one. Anyone can maintain one. Anyone can kill you with one.
A rifle that is bullseye accurate at 500 yards but will misfire with dirt in the barrel is inferior to a dirt cheap rifle that can put 3 bullets downrange and hit you at 500 yards while submerged in mud, during a hot humid monsoon storm. The AK-47 is simply the perennial assault rifle.
Remember - the best engineer does not aim for perfect performance in perfect conditions regardless of cost. He aims for the simplest solution that costs the least and works in *all* possible situations. Why? Because that's all that matters in the real world, and complex engineering always breaks when you need it most.
I know several Vietnam veterans who all told me the exact same story - any man who found an AK in the field turned his M16 into an "on-base show peice" and kept his AK hidden away, relying entirely on it in the field. It was simply superior in every single way that mattered. TEST Alliance BEST Alliance |

All this is true, but how many weapons can you count that were directly influenced by the AK-47? I'll give you somewhere to start - and we all know that Israel has some of the best weapons tech in the world, but what weapon primarily influenced the Galil assault rifle?
And, FYI, for a rifle that's virtually outsold every other modern rifle on the face of the planet, the AK-47 doesn't have to be the best in the world to be an effective weapon of war. As it is, at medium range, it IS one of the most accurate weapons in the world in short bursts. And the things will last forever. I am 12 and what is this?? |

I'm talking about Yevgeny Zavoisky. Rabi took the credit because the Zavoisky's lab didn't have the equipment to do the shimming of the field correctly. Zavoisky went back later and developed EPR and I think got some credit for that, although EPR is a much less useful technique. I was wrong about the cold war part though...I guess they did all this in the 30's and 40's. You learn something new every day.

Um, I'll take your word for it. I've never heard this. People don't use the STG anymore though, do they?

Virtually all of those would have hit a man sized target. 2 misses. That was a bowling pin, FYI. The AK would also have penetrated body armor, something the M16 simply won't do. TEST Alliance BEST Alliance |

Funny, on the 500 yard line at my last rifle qual (M16A4) I took 10 headshots. Even smaller target than the bowling pin... also the AK won't penetrate the body armor (with sapi plates) American troops are wearing now from 50 yards away. "Little ginger moron" ~David Hasselhoff-á |

This was actually a typo - I meant the AK47 could fire their own 7.62x39 and the American 7.62x39mm - no, the AK47 cannot fire the 54, that was a typo. It can fire other types, as well, just can't remember off the top of my head.

I know that there are configurations of the AK that take 7.62x54 - like the Dragunov sniper.
I own a G3 clone (PTR91F) that shoots 7.62x51 and those rounds will split cinder blocs and go straight through 0.75 in steel plate at 100 yards without stopping. |

If the AK-47 is go great how come Russia doesn't use it anymore?
Are you saying you are a superior army specialist than what the Russians have?
The M16 is a great weapon, its had its flaws, but its been improved and remains on service to this day.
Russians took after our idea and converted their AK-47 to Ak-74 with the 5.45 X 39 mm round.

SLAP .308 rounds defeat Class III and III+ military at the right range. Conventional .308 will defeat vehicle bodywork, CII and CII+ reliably. Don't know at extended range. Maybe you're wearing better body armor than that.

The M16 was always a joke, the M4 is such a clout to maintain and that's why the US is replacing them both with the SCAR series (which incorporates a LOT of stuff coming outta Eurotech). I'm Australian, so I have no personal bias here - we don't make ****, we just take what already exists and make it better. But if there's one thing we do know, it's quality over quantity, which is why we use the F88 Steyr as our primary AR and not the M16 or M4. Yes, that's why Australia is a world power 
Don't underestimate us, world power or not, we still frequently beat the US military in war games using superior tactics and strategies, and we still train US fighter pilots and marines, and we still aren't hated by the rest of the world. And don't forget... the bigger they are, the harder they fall.

If you are getting shot at by a .50 though you better hope that they are way off, because just the compression of the round going passed you is enough to rip flesh off. If you are hit by it you turn into pink mist on the wind. |

Oh, and Australian SF are almost universally considered superior trained to the USSF, Spetsnaz and SAS.
Australian SAS is second only in capabilities to the Germans at this stage. Even the British SAS has lost its edge these days. A lot of US Marines get specialised tactical training from Australian SAS units. We act as aggressors that they have to defeat in certain combat situations.
FYI, there was a comment earlier about US-supplied F/A18s...
I remember not too long ago we were still using F-111s that we'd upgraded throughout the years to be more than 125% effective than when they were first introduced. We used them on exercise to "bomb" (simulated only) a contingent of US AEGIS destroyers and frigates in the Coral Sea. The US sent F-22s to stop them, but they failed. How, you ask?
Because we sent the F-111s in at low altitude and F/A-18Cs at high packed with air-to-air - the F-22s beat the F/A-18s ("losing" two 22s in the process) only to discover that none of them had been loaded with air-to-ground. Less than 20 seconds after this realisation was made, our "Pigs" were hitting the US fleet.
Aus=1, US=0
Australia has always fought smarter, hence why we keep a smaller military. Ever since Tubruk, Gallipoli, and particularly the Battle of Long Tan in Vietnam, Australian forces have been recognised as a superior fighting force in the world, even without having numbers or nuclear weapons.

[*] saying all Americans are sucking the corporate **** is like saying that all Europeans love the queen of England. We are just as diverse, in political/religious pov, as all of Europe. We have a massive spectrum of education, social pov and a poverty gap that is almost as large as that in some 3rd world nations. What most of the world doesn't seem to understand is how well the powers that be hide these facts from Americans. Especially the educated ones. Ironic, I know. Americans can be educated and traveled and still totally oblivious...its weird. There are honestly very few of us that know what is up and we,have to dig hard to get there and hide it from other Americans if you want to get a good job |

Lol, you really think that do you?
I don't think anyone's the best - I think that Americans who think they're the best actually demonstrate that they're the worst kind of people imaginable just by putting themselves above the rest of the world. Aussies never pretend to be the best, we just like to make sure people who big-note themselves are brought back down to earth where they belong.
America is not greater than anyone because it's "powerful" - your only real power is in military hardware. Your economy, education and health care systems and general intellectual incompetence and puritanical population actually make it hard not to laugh at you when you claim how great you are to the rest of the world. We're all out here making progress while the US remains the only developed nation in such a state of destitution that it's economic worth is actually comparable to countries like Nigeria and Zimbabwe. The only saving grace that keeps your nation from reverting to an anarchic state is the fact that nobody in the US can be bothered actually doing anything about it because they spend too much time and energy complaining about it or inventing conspiracy theories.
FYI, ignorance is a choice you make when you choose to think you know everything and learn nothing new - the fact that you think ignorance is shared by all only demonstrates your ignorance further - it's the people who are willing to learn, and know that there is always more to learn, who are making this entire world, and even your United States.

Perhaps part of the reason the US military scores lower on tactical prowess is simply the fact that it's so fuggin huge. Imagine a pod of dolphins versus orcas. The dolphins have created bubble nets, strategic strikes, illusions of obstructions and all sorts of highly intelligent maneuvers. Orcas, on the other hand, charge the beach and go "LOLOLIMGONNAEATYOU" while brandishing superior size and scariness. Sure, they have tactics, but their most effective one is brute force. |

There is only one country in the world that is great as its the only one with great in its name  Rule Britania. Sadly the word 'great' in Great Britain is used simply in the context it's the larger of the two, Lesser Britain being Brittany in northern France. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTzA_xesrL8 |

Bush was a good president.
There is more bloodshed when America isn't involved.
Europe has no spine, they hate conflict more than they hate evil.
Also, deal with it. An open mind is like a fortress with its gates unbarred and unguarded. A narrow mind is a focused mind.

The dolphins have created bubble nets, strategic strikes, illusions of obstructions and all sorts of highly intelligent maneuvers. Orcas, on the other hand, charge the beach and go "LOLOLIMGONNAEATYOU" while brandishing superior size and scariness. Sure, they have tactics, but their most effective one is brute force.

Amarrians - Fanatic Religious Fundamentalists who in history have been slave owners. The Bible Belt in America are heavily religious and in the past were slave owners before getting their ass handed to them in the Civil War.
Minmatar- Is about Black People. The enslavement of the negro-race and the continued hardships and crime that occur in majority of the life of Black People after the emanicipation of slavery. They have a high adversion to the Southern Religious Fanatics who have over the years oppressed them.

We are the best. And if you don't agree you are one of two things
1)A European who doesn't understand American exceptionalism
2)The product of the brainwashing public education system.
Also we make distinctions among nations of their quality. Certain nations are better and more powerful. Fact. An open mind is like a fortress with its gates unbarred and unguarded. A narrow mind is a focused mind.

Wow I am so glad our American friend has reminded us that things like freedom, patriotism and fanaticism can only be found in the US. I'm shocked that I have managed to live so long without all these things. Oh please Mr. American, elighten us some more with your wisdom! |
