We have plenty of capacity before we're full. I'm not sure why this is even a point of contention.
Convincing? Very few of Avernus' original colonists were volunteers.

We don't have that much room.
And that was fine in the Imperium, times have changed as you should well remember.
Seconded.
You are assuming that the Blood Dragons would not make an effort, even if it is harder due to less technology. And it's not really tech that was the biggest cause of underhives developing, it's largely just because of the neglect of the rulers who didn't see a reason to bother. Even before we got all our really good industrial tech, Avernus's cities and hives never had anything like an underhive because we simply couldn't afford the vulnerability.
You are also forgetting that the Dragon's Nest wasn't trapped in a warp storm like we were, so they've had over a thousand years to get their shit together and fix their problems. With the Abomination around they couldn't allow there to be tyrannical leaders since that would be a vector for corruption (remember that they called the Star Father "the Tyrant"), and it's probably a good idea to assume that almost every non-Chaos human polity that's survived to this point has good leadership.

BTW, we now know what another artifact of Vulkan is, the song of Entropy is apparently a salamander headed staff that fires an entropic beam that can age what it hits to dust in seconds.
Cool.
The chariot and engine have also both been given descriptions, the Engine's "wrath has never been unleashed" The chariot is said to have "armour that is near impregnable."

[X] Plan Enjou T103
Just to let you guys know I previously asked Durin if anti-titan grenadiers was a good idea and this is what he said.
So maybe we should try it to see how well it works?

Instead of what, this turn? Certainly not Mass PA investigation. Switch out the Crab regiments, or the hellords/helscythes?

possible if you can get them from Midgard, near impossible from Dragons nest due to a range of issues, the fact that Dragon's nest has a far lower level of education is a major one

I'm not saying we need to do it this turn but I saw a few people talking anti-titan 'Breachers' and wanted to show what Durin said on the matter.

Why is education an issue? Like, I get that there are multiple issues why buying from Dragon's Nest isn't possible, but education seems like a weird one to me.

the fact that they are educated to a far lower level and literally do not know how to use a lot of the tech that is expected of them. it would be like having a large number of migrants from 1900 in modern Japan

There are multiple solutions and workarounds I can think of for this problem, but I don't want to bug you and seeing as how there are other issues anyway, I'll keep them to myself.
So how educated than does that make the i don't know peasants in Valinor? Can they even read?

Makes sense, most would need decades of education to become productive citizens, even then they would be capable of only the lowest skilled work possible and would probably never be able to join the PDF or perform anything but the most basic role's in the militia.
A thousand years and a century. Since the emperor died.

I don't believe Cadia has as much education as we do and they still maintain a high quality PDF and militia. I don't see why education is at all a factor in this regard.

Cadian PDF doesn't use the tech Avernite PDF uses.

The tech the Avernite PDF uses isn't that complex.

- To the left. No, not there, the other left.
Also while Cadia may not had high general education, they sure as frak had super high military education. Cadian children learned both combat skills and tactics from the early age and had as extensive mandatory militia program as we do (I mean Avernite militia program is literaly a copy of Cadian one).
I assume our military most likely doesn't have "true" basic training because literally every of-age Avernite already has more theoretical and practical military knowledge than most Imperial era Guardsmen. Trying integrate immigrants who never received such upbringing into our army is more trouble than it's worth since we would have desigh entire new training program to bring anywhere close to our basic recruits, and they would still be inferior than Avernites.

Cadia had no where near the technological sophistication we do, not sure why your using them as an example.
