Better make sure you have a secondary cooling method unless you want a self igniting fireball.

I should have been clearer - I was meaning wood and canvas. Editing post to clarify.
I see several advantages:
- Wood is cheaper
- Wood is easier to handle production-wise
- Wood is, contrary to metal, probably not an important war resource.
- Later, when radar comes into play, the plane will be nearly invisible to that.

Voting for: 1, 2, 3, 5, A, B, C, D, Alpha, Beta, Delta. Not voting on the machine gun - wait? We can get it to 20kg, just a bit heavier than the 8mm one? Damn, voting for lightweight.

War must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour all; but I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.

What would people think about maybe developing modular shipbuilding techniques?

Might allow up to mass produce large numbers of small/medium sized ships with mix and match standardised armaments.

Might also allow us to have well armoured and hard to sink ships with plenty of firepower without them being too large.

Rocket testing. Got to have somewhere to test those things that can go BOOM. without them flying off.
The worst part of rocket making is getting fuel injection shit.

As for the modular shipbuilding, sounds fun to me.

Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.
