FUTURE SUPER SOLDIERS
Is stuff like this feasible on the modern battlefield? Like literal Juggernauts?

Yes but we would need to come up with a lightweight metal that a lanklet can walk in first and can survive multiple 30mm shots from an IFV.

No. Modern, top tier, physical and military training is about as good as it can be until there's a significant change to how the human body works. Until we can build economically practical, high endurance, exoskeletons human knee joints and spines are the weak point in the system.

Without robot suited walking tanks the closest we've gotten to 'super-soldiers' is a lot more based in chemistry. See WW II's meth addict Wehrmacht, and the attempts to do something similar in Vietnam that ended up accidentally creating LSD.

Isn't exoskeleton/power armor tech literally right around the corner? It already exists. Once its fieldable, then giant guns like this will naturally follow.

And it wasn't just the Pervitin in WW2, it was superior and frankly God Tier training and discipline and True National Socialist Ardor/Fanatacism that made the SS super soldiers with ridiculous K:D ratios.

We can it's just more rigorous physical training that the average soldier will most definitely not want to undergo. So what do we do? We make a Armored Infantry unit that requires themselves to be training their whole body with thorough rehabbing and building of their body.
You got civvies jumping 10ft and landing without breaking a bone. We humans didn't become the apex homonid because of our brains. We became the apex because of our build. Everything we do naturally is meant to built the foundation of a super human. A baby's movement are all innate exercises built into their DNA.
There's a reason why you got legends and myths talking about motherfuckers jumping 10ft in the air because back then that shit was the norm. Until the great flooding/eruptions of volcanoes happened 30,000-50,000 years ago. That shit wasn't even caused by mother nature it was induced by our own ancestors.

Armor technology is behind where it should be. We'd have lightweight full body IIIA by now if Zylon wasn't a total bust in 2002. Ceramics have peaked (for now) at Boron Carbide or TiB2-doped Silicon Carbide.
We need battery energy density to improve so exoskeletons have workable field runtime, especially since armor is heavier than it really should be. For best surviviability we need full body B-32 API protection and that's 5.5lb/ft2.

Battery density is *a* problem, but it's far from the only one. Even if we handwave away the power source entirely, there are still major problems, like weight (ground pressure).

Until your kill-bots firebomb a school, or do anything that lets the media back home publish stories with cute looking kids in the photo. That shit's hard enough to deal with then it's a human pulling the trigger, adding a program into the loop just adds political/legal complexity that we're still trying to figure out (and probably won't for the foreseeable future) in non-military applications.

>no kill-bots, man in the loop
So you're building in EW concerns, logistical complexity, and lag into the kill chain for limited upgrades in capability? What about the major psychological problems already reported by drone crews?

Those are already there.

>for limited upgrades in capability?
No, MASSIVE upgrades in capabilty. Getting the human out of the equation is massive. There's no need to waste space or weight on life support, providing clean air for the pilot, protection from heat/noise/radiation, etc. You don't have to compromise the combat effectiveness of the vehicle to get a pilot in and out, to match the shape of their body, you are no longer limited by human range of motion or body shape, etc.

>What about the major psychological problems already reported by drone crews?
As opposed to the psychological problems that will be reported by mech pilots?

OFC it won't be immune to bullets, or any other weapon for that matter, but it would be a lot more surviveable than a human-piloted mech of the same general size and weight.

The capability improvements are MASSIVE. This cannot be understated. Human form imposes a massive number of constraints upon the engineering design. Let's get rid of them entirely.

The idea of beltfed backpacks is one of those things that pops up every so often and each time is touted as an innovation. It always seems like a really cool idea until you think it through. The gunner is now permanently attached to the ammo pack and thus to the gun, meaning they can't put it down. This makes for example getting in/out of vehicles a challenge. The gunner is stuck with a heavy as fuck pack. Most importantly, it doesn't really solve a problem that most military machinegunners are having. The pack pretty much what, allows them to sustain walking fire for way longer? When is that an issue compared to reloading belts? Anything this system solves by having unlimited ammo on call without needing to take a break to reload is canceled out by the fact you're gonna melt your barrel if you shoot so much that spending a few second changing belts is a problem.
It doesn't really save any weight because the weight of the whole setup has to at least be the same (probably more) than carrying ammo in plastic belt boxes.

Juggernaut suits are kind of a mashup of bombsuits and random pieces of heavy armor.
Bombsuits are pretty horrid to wear. Really they only get used for short periods when an EOD team is working out of a vehicle. An EOD team embedded in some rural region doing foot patrol doesn't just wear them around what should be obvious reasons.
The closest thing to giga heavy armor are breaching guys. Things like surge era Iraq, US SF doing breaching into buildings were kind of being forced to come in through an obvious chokepoint, so the first guy in would have something like a CIRAS+ groin/leg/shoulder armor on. even then, that's for a specific reason and short duration. and you know, not carrying around a machinegun like it's an "assault rifle+".

Superconductors would make literally everything in an exoskeleton more efficient. Smaller, lighter, more efficient, more powerful, faster charging, so on and so forth.

No they are not and no they aren't used for that either. The "room temperature" superconductors operate at liquid nitrogen temperaturs, which is a huge improvement from liquid helium, but still pretty fucking cold. And the ones that work at temperatures approaching 0°C are shit ass brittle ceramics that are pointless for any serious use because you can't make wires or anything else that is useful out of them.

DMFC. Look up JENNY 600/1200. Methanol is already in US Army logistics, primarily for use as windshield washer fluid, of all things (insert headlight fluid joke here). Methanol's power density is much lower than gas, but it's within an order of magnitude, which is something that batteries can't really say.

There's also the conformable wearable battery. Not nearly power-dense enough to run an exoskeleton, but enough to run the CPU and sensors.

By the time we develop all that requisite technology, the human soldier will have long been obsolete. High density batteries will probably be much more useful in long range, high payload drones, or whatever new horrors beyond my comprehension man decides to cook up for the 22nd century,

High cap batteries need heat management which adds to weight. Also more armor because an API round to a huge lithium source would be like hitting a WWII flamethrower pack.

Fully-passive exoskeletons suck horribly for prolonged movement. They are mainly intended to take the weight of whatever shit you're carrying/equipping off your joints. So they're relatively fine for heavily armored guards, or loaders/manipulators, but they're terrible for foot infantry.
Part of that is due to us not getting exoskeleton ergos right yet (in a way which more-or-less seamlessly integrates with existing musculoskeletal dynamics), but an equally (if not larger) part is the basic requirement for power assist, which comes with a plethora of issues.

That makes me wonder if it would be feasible for the only grunts to get exoskeletons to be machinegunners and ammo bearers/assistant gunners. Maybe an up-armored exoskeleton that's not supposed to make the machinegunner invulnerable, just improve their survivability from a shot or burst if he's been compromised. The ammo bearer would get an exoskeleton because it'd be pretty game changing to be able to consistently carry 1000+ rounds of ammo for the machinegun on your back without strain.

A very simple thing that's crossed my mind is that no military IRL has ever issued mass infantry with enclosed helmets

I know there's pilots and guys in NBC gear and everything else but as a practicality for grunts it just seems insurmountable, and it's gotta be one of the single things that's most ubiquitous in fiction and nonexistent irl

It's hot. You can add air conditioning fans like in a bombsuit but now you must have batteries, and grunts don't like that. It interferes with you cheekweld. You can make stocks like those wonky German ones but now your gun is permanently wonky.
The advantages are some small level of ballistic protection, but it's kinda meh. If you want built in NBC protection that means more weight and complexity for a feature that won't be used 99.9% of the time. Any augmented reality features people just want in some goggles and not from a mandatory full face mask.

It looks cool and intimidating, and in a lot of scifi the helmets have some level of space proofing or at least give an ability to breath in a space ship that's losing air. But mostly it looks cool and in the case of bad guys makes them more easily faceless and disposable. There's a reason in the first scene in Star Wars that the villain troops had full masks and the good guys had visible faces

Everything breaks in the military and an enclosed helmet is going to stop you from communicating clearly with the guys around you, especially if they can’t read your lips.

I think the solution won't be better batteries, it'll be better logistics. Maybe the batteries only last a few hours, but you'll only rarely be more than a few minutes from a charging station or a battery swap.

I imagine things like pic will be implemented in some way.

>"The motors are dual function: They offer more power for climbing and absorb impact on a person’s joints. According to Skip, MO/GO provides the wearer with 40% more power on the way up, gently supports the knees on the way down, and makes you feel 30 pounds lighter when you’re on the move."

Some sort of regenerative battery system that absorbs impact would help with a battery issue for a short while, but I think the main limiting factor is that the use case is to help carry heavy shit far away from a logistics hub and yet the battery would need to be charged at said logistics hub.

You would basically need a massive TESLA battery on your back, which would offset the benefits anyway.

literal kraut propaganda lmao, the only reason they did so well early in the war is because they were all hopped up on drugs, there isn't some super special military training they were given that the allies didn't also have, and the allies had the power of God on their side due to being true Christians.

Germany was Christian and they lost due to their logistical deficiencies, Speer wasn't a genius when it came to logistics but it was utterly fucked before he took over. They hadn't even tried to move to a full war economy despite really needing to make the effort a year earlier. This is why I'm a reactionary who respects traditions with utility rather than a Traditionalist, they are sentimental fools who cling to sub-optimal systems. For all the talk of supermen and superiority complexes attributed to the Germans they had neither a robust Eugenics program(US did it first and more extensively and the German one was cancelled by popular demand) nor had they created a merciless meritocracy of "all versus all". They weren't heartless monsters who treated humans like numbers on a page, we were and we should be proud of it. Nazis occasionally kill when it is expedient and then lie about it out of shame. Commies kill constantly and inefficiently then lie about it and kill twice as many even less efficiently to cover it up. The Libtards/Jews in charge of liberalism pretend to either be a meritocracy or a bleeding-heart faggot society when appealing to different audiences but are really just an incompetent managerial elite. It's only those who murder via bean counting who are honest and competent.
