[Official Event] - Dunkirk

[Spectre]

I assume these super-duper weapon platforms that obliterated the Ottawa were the secret project that 'The Great Hunt' event was all about, idk. I admit it's a rather silly assumption, but I'm just desperately trying to find anything that would make that event relevant to the current developments in the storyline.

The issue with using these world-ending, highly classified and unbeatable super weapons (hereafter referred to in all ways including this one as Convenient Plot Devices, or CPDs) is that not only was there zero build up for these things, but also that the tactic of them being employed was absolutely illogical considering the tactics of the day and age. You do not expect an invasion to take place without first-hand intelligence of the battlefield you're going to fight in. This has Discovery standing as well as real-life standing. Think about it. How long did Operation: Overlord (the invasion of Normandy, France) take to plan? How much intelligence was gathered to ensure that the invasion was even a marginal success? How much recon was made to gather that intelligence? A boat load more than was made here.

I'm not saying the devs should have spent fourteen updates detailing the Allied invasion plan, nor am I saying that the way it was played today (from what I hear, bear in mind, because I cannot log for these damn things) was the right way to do it. If Gallia wanted these super-weapons to be employed, and they wanted to catch the allies off guard, cloaking technology does exist and is canon.

As for 'The Great Hunt', the implementation of the consequences of that event had to be employed somewhere. As much as I am pissed about how they were implemented here today, I do want to say that the CPDs employed here were by far the best placement for them, and I like that. Despite how unimaginably rigged 'The Great Hunt' was, and how unbelievably irritating it was during that time, the CPD implementation here was admittedly pretty clever imo.

It does not, however, detract from just how poor the execution of this event was, again from what I've heard.
I'd recommend a do-over like that with 'Clash of the Titans', and maybe implement a more covert way to use these CPDs. I hate CPDs as a concept, but when executed correctly they can be just as fulfilling as any other method. It may take another week maybe, but the outcome may be more in the realm of what the team may be desiring instead of another bout of '**** you devs' and 'ah, sh*tty storyline' and blah, blah, blah.
