The Mk1. Air to ground rocket is a simple rocket propelled explosive device, that can be fired from a variety of airborne platforms. It's a simple solid fuel rocket, with not guidance systems , but a simple gyroscopic effect to keep it flying straight. The rocket itself is not very powerful, and will not perform optimally if launched at airspeeds below 90 km/h. It has been fitted with an Armor piercing warhead, which means that the effects of an indirect attack are limited.
Unnamed air to ground rocketWeight: 50 kg
Payload: 20 kg (+ Unused fuel)
Range: 1 km
Mounts: Weight negligible. A group of 10 can be attached to a torpedo launching system. (They will all be launched at once )
Cheap 10 mm machine GunThe 10 mm machine gun newest iteration is significantly cheaper, and slightly more accurate. However, this was achieved through of slightly larger and bulkier parts, and a larger barrel length. This makes the gun harder to move, and has also lowered the firing speed. Additionally, the cheaper parts are more prone to breakdown and wear, resulting in an increased amount of failures.

Caliber: 8x54mm (250 rounds belt)
Total length: 1700mm
Barrel length: 900 mm
Rate of fire: 250 Rounds per minute ( Air cooling limits effective firing speed)
Weight: 15 kg
Firing crew: 2
Trait: Accurate
Flaw: Fragile
Cost: 1.5
30 mm AutocannonA new 30 mm auto cannon is designed. There were however some troubles during the design procedures, and a such the design has some flaws. The firing rate had to be reduced in order to increase muzzle velocity, which is fairly impressive for a new gun. However, excessive and rapid wear of the gun can quickly reduce this speed to a much lower level. Like the 40 mm gun, the auto cannon uses 30 round boxes.
Unfortunately, the gun is not very well balanced, leading to a fairly large spread when firing. These forces also result in the fact that the design needs frequent maintenance, let's it should fail.
Weight: 390 kg
(Displacement: 4 ton)
Length: 2.60 m

Maximum range: 5,300 m at 650 m/s
Flaws: Rapid wear, Requires Maintenance, Unbalanced
Cost: 4
Sparrow fighterThe Sparrow fighter is a fighter variant of the Osprey bomber. It's slightly smaller and significantly lighter, but it's a bit faster and more maneuverable. Additionally, it's almost as though as the Osprey. Cost has been reduced compared to the previous design, primarily because of the lessened need for internal bracing. The Sparrow comes equipped with a hardpoint, which can be used to attach a variety of systems in the future.
Crew: 2
Length: 12m
Wingspan: 14 m
Height: 4 m
Empty weight: 2500 kg
Max Take-off weight: 3200 kg
Armor: Light metal plating (Low caliber machine gun resistant)
Powerplant: 1 × 900 kw Petrol engine
Weaponry:
-2* 15 mm Machine gun
-Under fuselage hard point
Stall speed: 80 km/h
Maximum speed: 370 km/h
Service ceiling: 7,000 m
Rate of climb: 5 m/s
Cost: 10 (+ 6 Machine gun cost)
Traits: Resilient, integrated radio, closed cockpit, Maneuverable
300 mm Coastal gunThe 300 mm coastal gun is our countries newest and largest artillery asset. It's capable of lobbing a 400 kilogram shell almost 15 kilometers away. It's fairly heavy, and represents a serious investement. Additionally, it's too large to be moved by our current generation of submarines. It's capable of firing approximately 1 round per minute, and needs almost 30 man to crew it.
300 mm Coastal gunWeight: 50 tons
RoF: 1 round / minute
Range: 15-20 km
Displacement: 250 ton including turret and ammunition
Cost: 40
The Naval production plan is enacted, and a major reorganization of production is executed. Dockyards are refitted, factories changed and artillery production rebalanced. The Machine gun factory is upgraded, but it still can't cope with the heavily increasing demand, as our new fighters go into production. The artillery complex is expanded slightly, in order to cope with potentially increasing demand from the Naval sector, as well as to secure our borders better.
The remaining production capacity is used to increase our dockyards further. Our supply situation continues to worsen however. With the enemy cruisers back onto the field, the commerce raiding has further intensified. Supply shortages are starting to affect the efficiency of our ships and airforce. Economic activity is unhindered however, thanks to our own coal production, and the successful introduction of oil substituents.

3 of the recently constructed Hunter's have been dedicated to active harassment of the enemies commerce lines, and other targets of opportunity. Their actions were successful at first, as enemy airstrikes were largely ineffective, and their cruiser's couldn't keep up. The Hunter's have also come under fire from a previously unknown submarine, to which a single Hunter was lost under unknown conditions. Another hunter was incapacitated when a lucky airstrike damaged the transmission, and was sunk by the crew to prevent capture.
The Herrings were equally effective, if not more, in taking on enemy shipping. Their actions have significantly disturbed enemy supply lines. However, enemy torpedo bombers and Cruiser sonar detection mean the Herring is not the safest position. Only a single Herring has returned from all it's missions, and it required significant repairs. Nevertheless their actions have given us some breather space. Combined with increased coastal patrols our supply situation should soon improve.
The government has removed the Seagulls and scout planes from active fighting, and relegated them to training duties. The Osprey more than makes up for it, managing to sink 3 enemy cruisers. The sudden introduction of a new enemy fighter has made things more problematic however, and significantly increased losses. Their 2 engine model is fast and remarkably strong, and also carries a decent compliment of weaponry. Raven's are only capable of taking it on in groups and with heavy losses. Additionally, both Osprey's and Sparrow's are having slight trouble defeating the thing on even odds, though no problems taking it down with sufficient back-up.
