OOC thread, guys, please, use it more often

In the world were no KV-1 exist yet I prefer cost\stealth\weight over shoot power for AT guns so
7.1 counterproposal 
Design unusual 40mm dedicated AT gun called ATG-40.  This should have very long barrel. Should be light, cheap and capable to fire high velocity 40mm shells. It should never aim for longevity,  becoming too damaged to fire more after first 10-15 shots, thus unsuited for long term use. In practice crew should be trained to abandon the inexpensive gun after first few shots, as barrel degrades so fast that accuracy sharply falls even after first 3-5 shots and gun crew is more important than cheap gun itself
Additionally gun crew may carry Stingers, Arguments, grenades and other anti-tank weapons becoming specially trained anti-tank teams capable to continue the fight vs tanks when the gun becomes inoperable

Mostly it's HVG-40 with longer barrel, no ability to elevate it more than 20 degrees and much-much less durable due to using cheap stuff. Gun trailers for it may by dumbed down, too


Note that unfortified AT guns rarely survive long enough to fire more than few times when they face tanks.
Role of that = AT expandable weapon for ambushes or quickly made field fortifications. Never to be installed on vehicles,ships,fixed forts. Never supplied with HE shells.

Nadaka,
Hm, what numbers mean, then?
4 Cricket Chassis (10)
MAIW Battle Bus chassis (50)
Got it, numbers are for a piece not for all, right?

Edit: some minor stuff

yes, those are the cost per part. The cricket has a chassis and a machine guns, the bus has 2 drive trains, a chassis and 4 machine guns. I did it that way so that common parts would have common factories, but without going into details like engines and such.

16, Design a 7.62mm AP round for assault rifles.

17, Design an assault rifle, it should have semi and full auto settings and have the improved ring sights.
Priority is on high ammo capacity and accuracy/control with secondary for rate of fire.


R, Begin mass production of the semi auto pistol for all troops, begin production of the RPG to deliver 1 to each group of 16 men.

As 7.1 will not get voted and 78mm caliber  is a stupid thing to do...

Subproposal 7.2
Design new 55mm dedicated AT gun to be used both as towed gun and fitted into vehicles (future light tanks\tank destroyers\Righteous like ships) . Try to make the gun compact (but long barreled) so it can fit into future vehicles Also try to design it in a way that it could get installed into Cricket armor car, creating light Tank destroyer

I'd really prefer to not design AT gun at all as we have many more important problems and 40mm will be enough for the next few years, but between designing a barn door and useful weapon I choose useful weapon.
Please do not count that as vote for the 78mm gun


Finally I urge everyone to not vote for weapons with  sabotaging calibers like 78mm, 161mm or 319.75mm. If you like proposal at the very least counterpropose with same weapon but sane caliber.

For the guys who like to make weapons 20 years in future and  thinks that 40mm and 55mm are almost the same, please note that  55mm gun has 2.6 heavier shells by default, plus add the fact that new gun is a dedicated AT gun... If done right That 55mm gun will cover our AP needs for years to come

I strongly suspect that voting for own proposals like above can lead to GM counting the vote twice. GM note that, quite a few players do that stuff

Propasal First Time so bear with me

18.0
I propose upon the construction of a large air ship with the ability to carry a large storage gondola capable of carrying at least 2tons of cargo.
I do not propose this for military purpose but if we could use it as a flagship for a great white fleet of sorts. As well as a transport vessel for suplies and as I stated in the OOC go across the world seeking allies because 2 against 1 which looks like whats coming i dont like those odds.

Fixed Number

I vote for 1.1, 2, 4.2.1, 5.1, 6, 7, 14 and 16

Proposal 20 Project Phalanx
The Phalanx takes its inspiration from the Battle Bus, while taking the frame, and core parts of the vehicle it moves away from being a transport. Its overall armor is thicker, and its old patriotism turrets are gone instead replaced with an armored hydra turret on top of the cargo bay and two armored and enclosed turrets mounting patriotism machine guns. The cargo bay is instead refit to carry a small team of generally five to seven men with the rest of the space containing all the necessary items to erect a defensive position. Sandbags, Patriotisms, crates of ammo, etc.

It is meant as a support vehicle, providing cover AA fire, resupply for ground troops, quick establishment of strongholds, and more.

I just need to point out this a terrible idea, if you're going to make an AT gun you make them to last not to degrade over time. Doing that costs more manpower, more resources, and more lives in the long run and thats exactly why they aren't made to be disposable like you're trying to do here. What happens if those 3 to 5 shots don't finish off the enemy tanks, what happens if that last shot could have wiped out an infantry battalion, etc. By making it a disposable shitty weapon you're removing the whole point of making a primarily AT gun for one, wasting resources, and possibly costing lives or machines of war.
