RULES: Vote/Proposal limits:
Each person has 5 design uses. These can be used for proposals, sub proposals, counter proposals, or they can be used for votes at the rate of 1 for 1.
For example:
1 person could make 5 designs.
Another could make 5 votes.
Another could split the difference.
Construction and petition proposals are not limited at this time, however any such proposal that requires engineering will not be considered.
Proposals
1: A proposal will be bold text.
2: A proposal will have a unique proposal number.
3: Proposal number begin at 1 for each year.
4: You are welcome to re-propose old proposals in a new year with a new number, any votes they had in previous years are discarded and they must reach the 2 vote threshold to be acted upon.
5: design proposal numbers will be digits, other proposals "numbers" will be letters
6: It is strongly recommended that you make your proposals within a 24 hour period after I post an update. This way you won't loose the opportunity to get votes by posting to close to an update.
for example:
1 : I propose that we mount lasers on the heads of sharks.Modification of proposals:
1: All rules for proposals apply except the following.
2: Modifications to proposals will have a number in the format of proposal.sub-proposal.
3: A modification may be supportive (default) or a counter (must be explicit).
4: Supportive modifications will count as votes for the parent proposal if the child has less votes than the parent.
5: If a child proposal has more than 2 votes and more votes than the parent it will be enacted instead of the parent proposal.
for example:
1.1 I think we should go all the way and mount the National Ignition Facility on the head of a sharkasourus.1.2 I counter propose that we should instead create lasers that shoot beams composed of sharks.Format for votes:
1: you must specify the proposal number explicitly.
2: you must use the word vote.
for example:
I vote for 1.2If it is not a vote or proposals it should not be bold.
Rule Addendum:
Do not propose shark related technologies. This was an absurd and colorful demonstration and completely not serious.
These rules are not to punish or regulate anyone. They exist because this is a lot of information to sort through and count votes for. Without these rules I don't know if I can keep up with everything.

Since we have the Glorious in drydock anyways, update it's weaponry. Remove all the 40mms and replace them with HVG-40s in double open mount turrets(keeping the number of 40mm guns the same), add 4 Hydra turrets, remove the 4 160mm turrets and replace two of them with double 160mm turrets and two with single 320mms. As well, try to squeeze in two of the new diesel electric plants so as to not adversly affect speed too much) An update of the 40mm guns is under way, the rest would require engineering effort.

Since it seems the Morovians are going with long-range bombers for night bombing, it's very important we get that radar going. Start over from scratch and get any and all specialists that might help with this on the project
On this task 1 experienced electronic engineer and 5 electronic engineers are assigned as well as 5 engineers, 1 veteran, 1 experienced, 2 novice and 1 green engineer. The task was completed to a resounding success.
RADARRadar facilities can be constructed capable of providing early warning of incoming enemy aircraft to a range of 100km.
select 2:
simple - can be cheaply produced and rapidly installed for maximum coverage.
precise - can detect not only the range and heading of the aircraft, but can identify their size and number as well.
compact - using compact antenna's and systems this radar system is small enough to be deployed aboard ship (displacement 20tons), instead of fixed land facilities.
long range - double range of detection *can be selected multipe times

Heavy AT cannon: A new cannon designed to completely dominate the battlefield against enemy armoured units, the new round for the cannon, a large 78.3mm by 680mm round, should be able to punch through atleast 90mm of armour at 1 to 2 kilometers. It's maximum range should reach to about 10 kilometers.
The muzzle velocity of the round should exceed 850 m/s, the gun itself to be an electrically fired, semiautomatic falling wedge design. This will allow it to remain viable unless the enemy can mount over 150mm in armour.
1 rifle engineer, 1 heavy metal engineer, 2 accoustic engineers, 3 engineers, 1 veteran, 2 experienced, 2 novice engineers were assigned to this task. They got about 35% done with the task. Your engineers suggest that for quicker results, you might opt for slightly less advanced performance requirements. If you were to accect short range penetration of 100mm and penetration of 70mm at range, you could cut your remaining effort by 75%. (progress: 70 1 2 2 130)

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.
2 engineers, 2 experienced engineers and 1 novice engineer are assigned to this task. Increasing armor to 30mm adds 15 tons to the weight, adding the hydra turret, ammunition and associated systems adds 5 tons to the weight, 2 manually operated fully armored Patriotism turrets add 2 tons to the wieght, pushing it over the 40 ton recomended weight limit for each of the drive trains not counting the weight of cargo, and the labor and material cost of the chassis will be doubled. You are 1/3 of the way done. (progress: 29 1 2 1 71)

Design a 160mm spg based on the K-1 that has enough armor to bounce a GVS-14(an MG that heavy can pen a surprising amount), but try to prioritize mobility. This design will definitely have the x2 diesels, an armored casemate structure, and should try to include a good gun traverse arc for the 160mm gun, as well as giving it enough gun depression to fight tanks in an emergancy. Call it the Hammer
2 experienced engine engineers, 2 engine engineers, 1 veteran, 2 experienced, 3 novice and 3 engineer are assigned to this task. They complete this task.
HammerThis heavilly modified K-1 based vehicle mounts a 160mm medium velocity cannon in a casemate structure on top an almost typical K-1 chassis. This chassis has lightened the armor to 25mm and has been widened slightly to fit both 400kw engines. Topping it off the casemate structure housing an 8 ton 160mm cannon.

Advanced Tank Chassis:
This new tank chassis is designed primarily as a medium tank hull, though it should outclass the Badger considerably. 80mm armour on the front, 65mm on the sides and 50mm on the rear. All the armour is to be sloped to increase the efficiency of the protection, and equipped with two 400Kw Advanced diesel engines. The suspension of the tank should be a new torsion bar system, designed to enable a much faster offroad mobility for the tank. The hull should mount a single Patriot II for close defense on it's front.
The chassis is also designed without a turret at this point, leaving it as an open canvas for various armoured vehicle designs. In it's current "Open" configuration it can work as a troop carrier
1 engineer, 1 experienced and 1 novice engineer where assigned to this task. It was not completed (progress: 12 0 1 1 ?)
The requested armor thickness will weight in excess of 30 tons for armor alone and will require a major and perhaps all consuming investment in manpower for the next several years if it is to have performance much better than the old SPIA.

Design a 7.62mm AP round for assault rifles.
2 experienced, 1 novice and 1 engineer are assigned to and complete this task.
Your standard rifle round is far and away, to powerful to be of any use in an assault rifle. In order to accomplish this task, your engineers a note form the Morovian carbine and produced a lighter, milder bullet that should be less punishing to its user under automatic fire. In order to retain effective penetration the bullet is typically solid steel instead of lead, producing a lighter faster bullet for the given amount of propellent.

The submarine war continues. Your increasing ASW and airship patrols are finally making a dent in lost shipping, ony 73 civilian ships have been lost over the year.
Morovians have lost 17 subs.
We have lost 18 PT boats (mostly on long range patrol), 1 bomber airship, and 3 ASW sub hunters.
The nighttime raids by Morovian long range bombers grow more frequent, Casualties include over 3000 civilian casualties, the destruction of 1 SVA-10 factory and our Wolvarine factory, 2 320mm gun emplacements and set fire to a lot of Badger Mk2 tanks, destroying 15 of them.
We have shot down 20 enemy bombers.
We have lost no aircraft in engaging the enemy bombers.
The govornment wants to know: What can you do to get us ready to attack Capia by the end of the year with 20 additional engineers and 200 additional workers?
