Sorry about the delay, got distracted by playing Warframe. I'll plan my next update for Monday night.
Intelligence report on Capia:
Capia's is proud of its navy that consists of 3 5000t cruisers, 5 3000t frigates, 10 1000t destroyers, and no more than 20 200t ships, it has nothing in the same class as our PT boats. Its airforce appears to be at least 1000 biplanes of the old design used by Morovia purchased starting before our conflict and accelerating afterwards. Its infantry is approximately 35k with extensive artillery support by 50mm, 75mm and 100mm cannons. They have tanks, but they are slower than ours. There is no identifiable Morovian military presence within Capia, but they are obviously trading.
Intelligence report on Morovia:
Morovia has expanded submarine construction to at least 6000t. Their new Tank Destroyer is in the same class as our K-1, and shares some common patterns with the Capian tank, one was obviously based off the other. They have small surface fleet of vessels capable of supplying their subs for longer range patrols, including at least 1 ship of Capian design. They have a new twin engine fighter, and a new 3 engine bomber. Security around their naval yards has increased dramatically. There is no identifiable Capian military presence within Morovia, but they are obviously trading.
Our special forces attempted another raid similar to the last one, even repainting the boats different colors. On the way out of the naval yard after planting bombs, one of our special forces teams was captured, and the other teams made it out with heavy casualties. The other 3 barely escaped by crossing the sea at high spead. Of those 3 boats another was lost to a strafing run by a long range twin engine fighter.
The pattern of submarine attack continues unabated.
127 of our non-military ships are sunk
1 Popular Devotion Support ship is sunk.
3 Popular Devotion ASW are sunk, in both cases with the loss of the attacking subs.
3 Righteous PT boats are sunk or disabled by Machine gun or 60mm gunfire from surfaced subs.
An Alexi 1337 is struck by 2 torpedo's with minimal damage.
An Alexi is struck by 1 torpedo with moderate but not fatal damage.
Enemy Losses:
3 to mines
3 to ASW: Hedgehog attacks
1 to ASW: depth charge attacks
2 to Righteous PT boats
4 to attack by airships/fighters/bombers
Our PT boats begin patrolling farther afield, attempting to locate the enemies surface supply fleet, in the process we lose 5 additional pt boats to apparent bad weather, And another 3 to long range patrols by 2 engine fighter craft.
Towards the end of the year a flight of 4 engine bombers arrives in the night and drops firebombs on one of our industrial cities. They attacks were sporadic and poorly aimed, but over 600 civilians lost their lives. A squadron of Zypher were in the area and responded, tracking was difficult, but the 14mm cannon proved sufficient to bring down 3 of the enemy.
Diplomatic efforts with capia go nowhere. They insist that the exchange of military hardware took place before our conflict, and have become incensed when the Morovians reported to them that we have been moving military assets through their waters. They refuse to sanction Morovia. War is inevitable.
On the plus side, the rest of the world is quietly minding their own business or fighting their own battles.

No specialists have been requested, however, you still get 4 non-specialist recruits.

9, Take the previous sub-machinegun and attempt to fix it's faults and modify the suppressor to fit it as well. Give it a fold-able stock and improved ring sights, 9mm rounds with a 30 round magazine and a 60 round drum magazine.
Begin production straight away if it is completed and functional.
NOTE: this appears to be a complete rework, different round, different stock, different magazine. The good part of that is that you don't have to overcome 3 critical flaws.
On the SMG project your rifle engineer. 4 engineers, 1 experience, 2 novice and 2 green engineers work diligently to get the prototype working in only 6 months, so that an initial production run could be produced immediately. It is everything you hoped it would be. The rate of fire is moderate, allowing for short bursts with good trigger control.

8. Design new V12 aviation petrol engine, with at least 400, preferably 600kw power. Try to make it tolerable for higher attitudes
On this aviation engine project your 3 engine engineers, 2 engineers, 1 experience, 1 novice and 1 green engineer are assigned. They complete this task by the end of the year.
V12 Aviation EngineAviation Engine
like most high powered aviation engines, this one requires a large amount of airflow and frequent maintenance that make it unsuitable for use in most maritime and vehicular uses.

Large semi-rigid Airship*. Should be large enough to carry 5 glider planes or some of the lighter biplanes. (Attached below the gondola, one behind the other.) When not serving as a carrier, the gondola can be filled with bombs, cargo, or other payloads. Try to keep the speed up a bit, but it needs to be able to reach our enemy.
On this airship project, 1 aviation engineer, 5 engineers, 1 veteran, 3 novice and 1 green engineer have been assigned. They get about half way done. (progress:49 0 1 1 51)

Design a set of bulletproof body armor with a helmet, priority goes to maximum protection without restricting movement.
1 heavy metal engineer has been placed on this task. His findings are as follows:
There are no materials capable of providing bulletproof body armor without restricting movement in pseudo 1930. Modern Kevlar is only proof against pistols without restricting movement. Modern kevlar + ceramic plate can resist the kinds of rifle rounds you encounter on the battle field, but not without restricting movement. At best, you can get can get pistol caliber protection when most soldiers carry rifles, or an armor so heavy and unwieldy that most soldiers will simply choose not to use it. You are about 1/3 of the way through this task. (progress:12 0 0 0 38)

13)Reverse Engineer and improve upon the raised sub's 600kw diesel electric power plant. Bring in our electrical engineers and propulsion engineer to do this. I'm looking to create a better large power plant for bigger ships by designing a diesel-electric turbine
Note: This low vote proposal is being elevated in priority because it will reduce the overall cost of proposal 3.2
On this naval engine project 1 experienced engine engineer, 1 electronic engineer, 4 engineers, 5 experienced and 4 novice engineers are assigned and complete it before years end.
The Morovian engine was already close in power/weight to your 400kw general purpose engines, however they had a flaw that increases fuel consumption. The generator/motor component came in at 10 tons. The Morovian electrical portion consists of 1 ton batteries each capable of storing 60kwh each.
They were able to improve on the diesel component of the design to parity with our 400kw general purpose engine. and improve power up to 1200kw with 30 tons of displacement. The engine/generator/motor combo is 3 tons, low maintenance. The Morovian electrical portion consists of 1 ton batteries each capable of storing 600kwh each, for a maximum submerged period of 9 hours. you have improved on this to 800kwh per ton.

Counter-Proposal 3.2:
Use the knowledge gleamed from the plans and wrecks to design a fast, stealthy raiding submarine. Two torpedo tubes with four reloads each. The sub is to be lightly armoured in order to maintain a high cruising speed. If possible, the design of the sub should be as similiar as possible to the Molovian design in order to confuse their SONAR operators.
Note: the only reason I allocated quite this many engineers to the task, is that I hit the wrong damn button on the assist program and I had no way to go back without having to reroll all other projects as well. This kinda screwed the other approved projects out of their fair share of engineers.
On this task 1 nautical engineer, 2 acoustic engineers, 6 engineers, 3 veteran, 4 experience, 7 novice and 1 green engineers are assigned. They complete the task with 1 flaw. Its sonar profile, despite the best efforts of our acoustic engineers, is not only completely unique, but also slightly more detectable by sonar (2.2km vs 2km)

5: Develop a Glare-reduction sight for use by sub-hunters and, ideally, anyone shooting at those pesky aircraft that like to come out of the sun. Attempt to incorporate it into any appropriate designs that operate at altitude or against naval targets. Use it in the design for an upgraded observation balloon. Attempt to use and of air-catching lessons from the glider project, newer or more expensive materials, and possibly a ground-based heat-source to reduce the weight, and therefore the range at which the balloon is visible. This balloon should be mounted on the the following Worker's Submarine destroyer(original by Ukrainian Ranger): Worker's ASW Displacement: Constructable using current dock facilities, or at least within 6 months of dock expansion. Propulsion: Diesel Speed: At least 50kph, preferably in excess of 60kph. Armor: At least 20mm, preferably torpedo resistant. Sufficient range to patrol merchant lines. A Recon-Balloon dock and tether. Triple Sonar Array covering 120 degrees.

The government undergoes a major manufacturing overhaul in the first 6 months of the year. This years military production will be half of the new allocation. A factory is capable of outputting 800 units of work when properly tooled. Your factories are more general and produce half as much per year, but do not require any retooling and the quality of your workers affects that more than the number of factories.
