You successfully reverse engineer the enemy tankette. It's a fairly primitive design, and appears to still be in early development. The 8 mm armor was clearly not sufficient to survive the impact of the 15mm machinegun. Improvements that have been made is a replacement of the engine and weaponry, thickening the armor and enlargement of the design in general. The 200 kw truck engine was considered to strong and heavy for the job, and hence another engine, using petrol, unlike the original design.
Moldavian TanketteWeight: 1.5 ton
Length 2.5m
Width: 2m
Height: 1.22 m
Crew: 2
Armour: 7.5 mm
Main: 10 mm machine gun
Engine :Ford Model T petrol 4-cylinder 22.5 bhp
Operational range 160 km
Speed: 48 km/h on road
Flaw: Unprotected fuel reserves
Cost: [/Can't build, engines were too damaged to reverse engineer, as were the guns]
Modified VersionWeight: 2 ton
Length 2.5m
Width: 2m
Height: 1.22 m
Crew: 2
Armour: 10 mm
Main: 15 mm machine gun
Engine : 60 KW Petrol engine
Operational range 200 km
Speed: 56 km/h on road
Cost: 5+3
-Extra range
-Increased speed
-Maintenance friendly
-Cheaper: Reduce cost by 1
-Local resources: Modify the design to only use local resource, limiting the use of rubber and other components that need to be imported
Heavy Machine Gun Modification
Some progress is made on remaking the Heavy machine gun to be cheaper. However, this comes at a cost. Unlike it's predecessor, the new machine gun is terribly inaccurate, something that has to be blamed on loose mechanical tollerances.
Gas operated Heavy Machine gun (Budget edition)
Caliber: 15x125mm (250 rounds belt)
Total length: 1760mm
Barrel length: 900 mm
Rate of fire: 400 Rounds per minute ( Air cooling limits effective firing speed)
Weight: 30 kg
Firing crew: 3
Cost: 2
Note: Bad accuracy
HunterThe Hunter has been designed and prepared. It's a smaller offshoot of the protector design, using the same armoring strategy, and despite it's different propulsion system, inheriting some off the same weaknesses. It's quite fast, has good endurance and is affordable to construct.
Destroyer (4 months production time)
Length: 60 m
Displacement: 1000 metric tons
Propulsion: 8 mw
Speed: 52 km/h
Armor: All or nothing armor on the citadel [10*10*10], minor torpedo armor elsewhere
Crew: 140
Trait Maneuverable
Flaw: Complicated Transmission,
Armament:
3 Armored and Turreted 80 mm cannons
6 40 mm Cannons
20 15 mm Machine guns (Also armored)
100 tons of mines
Tonnage Allocations:
400 tons Diesel propulsion (20 Kw /ton)
200 tons: Destroyer parts
150 tons: Armor
75 tons: three 80mm guns
30 tons: (6 40mm guns on sides )
20 tons: AA\anti torpedo machineguns
25 tons: Mine laying equipment
100 tons: Mines\depth charges
RadarOur engineers focus on an effective radar system, but are limited by many mechanical difficulties, and the fact that not all the components needed are available in sufficient quantity. In addition to that, the radar is fairly short ranged, and suffers from a low resolutions. It should however be noted that this is merely a prototype.
RadarRang: 3km
Resolution: Can detect wherether an object is coming or not. Identifying or detecting the exact distance is still hard.
Herring SubThe herring sub is a more combat oriented design. It's fairly heavily armored, has a 40 mm deck gun for emergencies, and is equipped with a total of 15 torpedos. It's also quite fast for a submarine, both below and above water.
Displacement: 540 tons standard,730 tons submerged
Length: 58 m
Beam: 4.90 m
Draught: 4.62 m
Propulsion:
- 2 mW Diesel propulsion (26 km/hour)
- 1.2 MW Electrical Propulsion (14 km/hour)
Complement: 40
Max depth: 80 meters
Dive duration: 6 hours
Armor: 10 mm deck + Conning tower armor
Armament:
-1 40 mm gun
-4 front torpedo tubes, 2 back
-15 torpedoes
-1 x 40mm gun mounted at rear of conning tower
Other Weapons:
Pistols for officers, 10 SMGs locked in the captains area, two MGs in watertight boxes on deck.
Sensors:
Two periscopes, radio, space for sonar
Other: Snorkel
Tonnage allocation
150 tons Submarine parts
100 tons Diesel propulsion: (20 KW/ton)
20 ton electrical propulsion
100 ton Electrical batteries (Last slightly longer than 6 hours)
18 ton torpedo tubes
30 ton Torpedos
5 ton 40 mm gun
2 ton Misc weaponry
10 ton sensors
5 ton reserved for Sonar
200 ton Armor
((As a side note, I did change the system. It's now more sensible, and upgrade everything is not the best action.))
Production capacity continue to rise, though industrial expansion does not meet expectations. Also worrying are shortages of several advanced industrial, which are becoming every worse due to intensified Moldavian activity. Naval production is rearranged to partially settle this problem, and airplanes are constructed to take on the Moldavian Menace. A new capital ship yard has also been constructed, and is waiting for orders.
Meanwhile, our international diplomat team have managed to secure some aid from our good Sovjet friends. They assure you the designs will be sent soon, as soon as they've finished translating them from Russian. They managed to secure blueprints for a Grigorovich (seaplane), a good set of handgrenades, and even blueprints for one the Sovjet airships. While originally designed for massed carge flights, they can easily be converted.

Our Protectors and Navy are moving out in full force in order to stop the Moldavian commerce raiding, and restabilish our connection to Crow's Isle. With their Capital ships retreated for repairs, the Moldavian army relies mainly on it's commerce raiders to prevent us from resupplying Crow's isle. A good thing, as the Cod has been having increased trouble in evading enemy screens. Torpedo bombers and Protectors have been engaging the enemy commerce raiders at every opportunity they get , and have inflicted significant damage. As always, not without losses. Near the end of the year, losses had increased because the enemy appears to have fielded a new and dangerous torpedo bomber.
In the air, the war also continued, as Moldavian forces attempt once more to regain control off the airspace surrounding crow's Isle. They don't succeed, and return with significant losses
