Alright, so i have done a ton of research and i am estimating cobra's army to be between 20,000 and 30,000 people strong... That is what i feel is the Max...
So, how would you say that breaks down... as far as VIPERS BLUE SHIRT SOLDIERS CRIMSON GUARD SNOW SERPENTS TELE VIPERS DRIVER FIGURES. -- STRATO -- HISS DRIVER -- STINGER -- MOTOR -- BATS I WOULD SAY ARE SEPERATE... ANYONE WANT TO GUESS AT THOSE.. ALSO, i kinda get the feeling that the Viper uniform is the same trooper as the blue shirts, but the soldiers jsut got upgraded at one point... would anyone else agree witht this I AM LESS CONCERNED WITH THE FIGURES POST 1987 All comments welcome...

I'd say 80% either Blueshirts or standard Vipers.
As for drivers, I'd say that depends on the number of a particular vehicle in the motorpool. 50 HISS Tanks? I'd guess 75 drivers or so. |

i would say blue shirts are more like grunts, Vipers are a step up. Just my thought.

as far as hiss tanks i am going to go with between 100-150 or so... (figuring 1 per every 130 troops),.... as was the person to tank ratio in Desert Storm... of course that is total 'tanks' the ratio of MBTs used is 1 per 250 person... so imma say Hiss is their MBT and go with 80-100 -- damn nick, i think that you just about nailed it...

Where'd you come up with the 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers?
Does that figure contain the support staff or just fighting soldiers? Support staff (maintenance, kitchen, medical, warehousing/stockpile, etc..) would be 3-5x as many.

this is all based on the assumption that cobra is structured like an actual army though. If they are structured more like a terrorist group, those number would skew. I always assumed they shipped/stockpiled their equipment through shell companies, and those would employ regular folks who aren't in cobra proper to ship the stuff, warehouse it, etc. Folks just working for a company, that happens to be a wholly owned subsidary of Extensive Enterprises.
