Spoiler: Proposals (click to show/hide)

1)7.62mm Carbine*

A)Airship Hanger*

I would like to remind people that nothing gets built unless you specifically order it built! Also, multiple production proposals can be combined into one single proposal(subject to GM veto of course) to save space, and so you don't have to decide between what to build. Just remember to keep track of costs!

Also, contracting out work to private industry IS an option. In this case, whatever is contracted out to be built would have X number built each year automatically, with X being dependent on the size of the factory that takes up the contract.

Can we get production costs for our newest designs?

[tryrar]

Whoops And I thought I had gotten everything before posting

Edit: Fixed. As for the shaped charge ammo, there are a couple large Government-leased ammunition plants craking out all the spare ammo for the military, so it is assumed(as long as something doesn't happen to them at least ) that they produce enough ammo to stock all our weapons. However, whenever a new ammo type or size is introduced, it will take a few months delay to introduce in sufficient numbers to make any impact, so keep that in mind when designing things(if you want to make a large stock of a certain ammo type quickly, all ammo is .01pp for manual building).

Finally, note that I have clarified what guns our artillerymen are using, just for reference.

Spoiler: Proposal Beta (click to show/hide)

3 airships (150pt), 60 GP-1(300pt), 120 LA-1-AT(300pt), 300 LMG-1-M1920 (150pt) produced at various factories, 1 new cruiser built (if shipyards count as production for ships)

Spoiler: Proposal Two (click to show/hide)

 Design new carburetor for Hawk fighter

Spoiler: Proposal Three (click to show/hide)

  Development of a light tank aprox. 5m long, 2.5m wide and less than 2m high, armed with a turreted LA-1-AT with a slaved LMG-1-M1920, aswell as another LMG-1-M1920 that the driver can use when not driving. The tank should have a crew of three, a commander/gunner, a loader/radio operator and a driver, and should have atleast 100rd of ammunition for a main weapon. Armor should be angled whenever possible, and the front armor should have a minimum thickness of 30mm, with side armor of 20mm. Turret armor should be 25mm all round. There also should be additional plates of 10mm armor spaced out from the side, front and turret as seen here.
  The tank should be powered by a pair of M1921 HP engines, and ideally be under 10 tons total weight.

That should work, right?
-edit-

Construction of yet another factory, on par with the last we built

[tryrar]

Remember to note how many engineers you are putting on it; depending on the difficulty I assign the default of 5 Novice engineers might actually incur penalties!

[Aseaheru]

Carbine is the ballistic engie and 9 normals, Carburetor is 5 and tank is 15...

So I don't have to keep referring to wikipedia, I'm going to put the cruiser in a spoiler as reference:

Spoiler: Townsend Class Cruiser (click to show/hide)

Dispacement:4880t
Propulsion:Boiler-Fed Steam Turbine
Speed:26 knots
Armament:2 152mm guns, 10 102mm guns, 1 76mm AA gun, 4 47mm AA guns, 4 7.7mm machine guns, 2 18 in. torpedo tubes
Armor:51mm armor deck, 150mm conning tower

Our ballistics engineer notes that the 40mm LA1 is actually a superior weapon to the heavier 47mm, with a much higher muzzle velocity; though it does carry a lighter HE shell. Nevertheless, He recommends replacing it with the LA1 as it can theoretically hit targets flying at a higher altitude. As well, the 100mm guns on our destroyers are virtually identical the 102mm in ballistic performance, so replacing the 102mm guns as well would simplify logistics.

Also, Aseaheru, you're almost asking for the impossible with your tank design. 60mm of sloped armor with 20mm schurzen, 60mm all around the turret, AND for 10 tons? Your specification is basically a sloped Panzer 4 for less than half the weight, and will most likely result in a VERY flawed design.

[Aseaheru]

Ah, am I?


Nope, no weird things there.

[tryrar]

Heh, much more reasonable

[Aseaheru]

Heres an idea, could we set t up that our factories always make the same things each year until we change their output? Because currently we are sorta limited in what we can have built...

[tryrar]

Yeah, sure. Next production order approved is repeated until changed

Remember you can also contract out work as well

Ok lets have a simpler tank
Lighting class tank see later up date for the improved model.

Spoiler: Lighting class tank first type. (click to show/hide)

--------------
Specifications
--------------
Weight      35 tons
Length    9 meters
Width    3 meters
Height      2 meters
Crew        5
----------
Weapons
----------
2 Sponson's with twin MGs
1 Armored Turret with twin MG's

So thats 6 LMG-1-M1920's.

----------
Engines
----------
Petrol Electric system
Charged by a pair of General-Use Gasoline Engines.

---------
Armour
---------
Front 20mm
Sponson's 20mm
Turret 20mm
Sides 15 mm
Back 15 mm
Roof and Floor 10 mm

Quick points count
3pp for the LMGs
2PP for the engines

Now going for Petrol Electric system is an odd choice but it has it's advantages:
Our top speed is not limited by the engines but by the stored power.
Electric motors do not need a transmission, so training is simpler.
The engines are run at a constent speed, improving fuel economy.
It's the first ever stealth tank.

[Aseaheru]

Yes, one that will die in seconds and cant kill anything with armor.

Hell, it probably wouldn't be that good for supporting infantry...

Now, if we removed that armored turret with a cannon... Its the land battleship! (Once we add armor, and come up with batteries that last long enough)

[Funk]

20mm is good armour for a 1920's tank, the Renault FT had 22mm, the T-26, 15mm.
Sure in time it'll need thicker armour but for now 20mm fine.

But your right it's not able to fight armor, so i'll change it to have a LA1-AT cannon in the turret.
