Rheinland and Liberty

[cmfalconer]

depends on if your talking player base or in-game RP as set by the mod designer?

If it's player base, 50/50. Rheinland has better quality pilots overall, but Liberty's got more quantity. and Yes, some of those pilots in liberty are darn good pilots, but OVERALL, in my experience Rheinlanders are better pilots.

If it's RP, Liberty hands down atm would crush Rheinland all the way through Hamburg. At that point though, Rheinland would bear down and fight back more, as they have less territory to defend overall, and can more concentrate their forces at one (or two) points. New Berlin wouldn't fall, but it'd be a disgustingly bloody battle from Alster on down. Hamburg (planet) would fall, as would the area where the Westfalen is (although the Westfalen would move), and a stalemate could occur around either Alster or the Jumpgate.

Rheinland would truly be hurt if Alster fell, because it would only leave Oder as it's main shipyard. Oder would be too small (only one superstructure) to be able to handle ship-building requirements for the whole war.

No one would "win" the war, just like no one's really won the Kusari-Bretonia war, but a fluid battlefield would end up somewhere in Hamburg system.

My thoughts anyway.
