Yeah, we have radar, although I don't know if it's plane sized, and it's definitely not small enough for a fighter to carry it.

Well, believe it or not, radar during wwII was able to be carried aloft-just not by fighters. converted bombers with a whole big mess of radar equipment inside were employed for ASW and early-warning duties, so if we can get radar at least that small we can create an early AWACS.

[Playergamer]

Yeah, I know about the SNAFU that was ww2 in-flight radar. Night fighting with TBF Avengers, the like. I mean, it was creative, ingenious even, but it didn't work very well. That's why I made the distinction between plane-sized and fighter-sized.

reposting cause of ninja:

Wait What?! I looked over the list again, and unless I'm just not seeing it we have no aircraft carriers! We cannot call ourselves a naval power without them!


7:Immortal Class Aircraft Carrier: this ship should have a double-deck hanger capable of housing 50-70 of our current smaller aircraft depending on design, and be moderately armored with an incorporated armored flight deck as well as reasonably fast(attempt to get 30 knots). It should have 2 elevator lifts for planes(one fore and one aft), as well as 4 sponson mounted twin-40mm AA(one at each corner), 4 quad 20mm cannons, and 4 superfiring twin 140mm dual-purpose turrets (two turrets foward of the island, two aft, all of them(and the island) in the starboard side.)

My weapon votes:

SAE (Semi-Auto-Enfield):[/n]
-Highly accurate
-Fantastic sights
Poor man sniper rifle, we should switch to our new round and assault rifles

Wildcat.
-Easily modification

It can be a nice base for many mobile weapon platforms.

Helicopter
Tough

I want it to survive after some hits. being agile will not save from enemy fighters or AA guns.

8x40mm:
-Stable
-Stopping Power

No bad choices, but I like those most

Design:

8. Develop RPR (Rapid fire rifle)
Develop a new kind of weapon that will combine roles of SMGs and Rifles to serve as main infantry weapon. Use our new 8x40mm round for it


Vote for this

9. Seagull helicopter
Develop a light helicopter for naval use. Mainly for antisubmarine and utility use. Should be able to land on current vessels with little to no modifications
This is for improving our standings with the navy

10. Try this "kevlar" for creating a light body armor to protect elite forces

11. Develop Cruiser Medium Tank, Meteor MK3
Current Meteors are reliable and we better try to improve them instead of designing a new tank. Try new materials for its armor to get better protection with same armor thickness and same\lower weight. Secondary objective is to replace current engine with a new diesel engine.

Production&misc:

B. Produce all new designs but sniper rifle to impress high command and get feedback from soldiers. 
C. Request assistance of security service to protect our facilities
D. Suggest to remove Gilton Light Tank from active service and start exporting it to our minor allies. Wildcats will replace those tanks eventually. Humbly ask to use this funds to aid our facility.

Votes:

3. Lightweight frag grenade.

4:Design a Jet Engine. It should put out at least 1600 pound-force thrust(2000 would be ideal), and be able to run at for at least 100 flight-hours, if not longer.

Tempted to vote for an aircraft carrier but...
a) I am not sure that we have an expertise to design new vessel types and we have no shipyard to actually build it.
b) our standing with navy is not good enough to push through new concept, if they dislike aircraft carriers and never got them, they will likely stay that way

I think that assault rifle is a more practical solution than SMG, we need a standard infantry weapon!

[Playergamer]

UR, the SAE is going to be used mostly by, say, paratroopers, not snipers. It's barrel is too short to make a good sniper rifle.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

Yes, I know it is not a sniper rifle, but I am trying to get it closer to a sniper rifle here making it a versatile weapon.

We got a real good design here, but IMO a proper assault rifle will make it obsolete even for paratroopers.

[Playergamer]

Yes, but we've got plenty of time until a proper assault rifle comes out. Assault rifles barely exist at this point, if at all, and for now, we need to rely on rifles and SMGs. We can work on making assault rifles, but we need to keep working on everything else as well.

EDIT: Plus, good rifles still last far into the AR age. I mean, they used M1 Carbines in the first few years of Vietnam.

[tryrar]

Voting for 9 and 10, and 11 if that doesn't put us over

[Playergamer]

((Remember that we're Army weapons designers first. They have other factories for air force and navy.))

SAE - highly accurate and simple maintenance. It'll be great for the troops and they'll last for ages (assuming their not lost or captured). These rifles won't have to built in super tons and will help very easily.

We should make at least 20 of these rifles and send them to the Army training base for feedback on its use.

Wild cat - Easy operation. If its going to have multiple roles it should be easy to execute any of them (or all at once). Plus less training time needed to have good drivers/users.

Helicopter - Tough. We want a fleet of these things harrasing enemy armor with its rockets and enemy infantry with its guns. An if its going to do that it needs to be able to take some shots while still being operational.

Sniper rifle - Back to the drawing board. Same goals. Try not to sound mean about it. We should also never let the army or anyone else ever see the design or prototypes for these. I would go on to say destroy them and fire anyone who dares talk about it.

Cartridge: 8x40mm 'Longfire' round. We must show these off with our new rifle to the army. Send some of these to the army training base and ask for feedback along with the rifles. Make sure they get it and not some spy.

Peace maker: Send 5 of these for armies testing also. Again more feedback is requested before we put these on the production lines.

A.S.S. - Good but it needs more work. Back to the drawing board again I think.

Khan - When will our prod. lines be ready to fill in production for our new weapons? Most deserve to be in the hands of our troops and soon so they can get use to them for our war. Not making an order btw just asking and stating an opinion.

New/Old suggestions:

Crusader armor - Using the new Kevlar idea and composites create a light weight tactical body armor. Cover on both the front and back while also having movability on the rear and arm hole areas.

Sniper rifle "Impaler" - Now for real. Same goals except now they have to be able to use our new munitions. Also they should have the power to pierce through body armor and kevlar.

Nerve gas - Paralysis of the lungs and to be able to kill anyone not protected by gas mask. Should be able to be easilly air dropped onto a field and 'cover' a medium to large area.

New heavy tank to replace this:

Tank, Heavy, Land Prince MK1
Weight: 51 tons
Length: 9m
Width: 3.8mm
Height: 3mm
Crew: 5 (Commander/Radio Operator, Gunner, Loader, driver, hull gunner.
Armour: 152mm on Front (upper and lower) Hull, Front turret and turret sides sloped. 90mm Everywhere else.
Main Armament: Royal Ordnance 80mm HV AT Gun – 90 round (80x650mm)
Secondary Armament: 2x Mortimer 8mm MGs, one Coaxial on hull mounted. 1xPintle Mounted Mortimer 8mm MMG/GPMG above commanders hatch.
Engine: 2x Meteor V12 Petrol engine, 600hp
Suspension: Sprung Bogie
Ground Clearance: 0.5m
Operational range: 100 miles.
Speed: 24mph.
NOTE: Slow, transmission issues due to dual-engine setup. Well armed and armoured. Small range.

It should be faster, more maneuverable, while also keeping most of its armor.

Security:

Ask for more soldiers to help guard our base as well as some K-9 units to sniff out bombs. Guards are to keep an eye on all ordnance facilites, test sites, electrical systems, and guard scientists. Scientist should never leave their groups until after work or during their designs. Said groups are never to be without 2 guards escorting them.

Inform people of the security protocols and ensure their is no imminent danger. Also ask our secret service to sweep all our people to see if their spies or something.

EDIT: We should call the ROF Blurton overseer about this bomber. I'm guessing we are definetly a target since were both army ordnance and research facilities. Ask what the spy looked like if possible and be ready to give credentials.

Oh and Call an Army general about boosting security because of the new threat. With all the new toys were about to give them i'm sure their willing to protect their un-damaged factory. There last one that is.

[10ebbor10]

So, let's see, what proposals do we have.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

1. Two-engined transport plane. Make sure it can drop paratroopers, along with transporting supplies. Make the engines quiet, and make it large enough to carry 2 sections of paratroopers.

2. "Warbler" SMG. 30 round magazine. Around 800mm, 2-3 kg.

3. Lightweight frag grenade.

4:Design a Jet Engine. It should put out at least 1600 pound-force thrust(2000 would be ideal), and be able to run at for at least 100 flight-hours, if not longer.

5:Radar. Develop Radar if we haven't already; if we have, improvements on detection and acquisition for current systems, and maybe see if we can shrink it down to fit into a palne.

6:Nuclear power. research possibility of creating reactors small enough to fit on ships to power steam turbines instead of traditional coal or oil boilers.

7:Immortal Class Aircraft Carrier: this ship should have a double-deck hanger capable of housing 50-70 of our current smaller aircraft depending on design, and be moderately armored with an incorporated armored flight deck as well as reasonably fast(attempt to get 30 knots). It should have 2 elevator lifts for planes(one fore and one aft), as well as 4 sponson mounted twin-40mm AA(one at each corner), 4 quad 20mm cannons, and 4 superfiring twin 140mm dual-purpose turrets (two turrets foward of the island, two aft, all of them(and the island) in the starboard side.)

8. Develop RPR (Rapid fire rifle)
Develop a new kind of weapon that will combine roles of SMGs and Rifles to serve as main infantry weapon. Use our new 8x40mm round for it

9. Seagull helicopter
Develop a light helicopter for naval use. Mainly for antisubmarine and utility use. Should be able to land on current vessels with little to no modifications
This is for improving our standings with the navy

10. Try this "kevlar" for creating a light body armor to protect elite forces

11. Develop Cruiser Medium Tank, Meteor MK3

13. Sniper rifle "Impaler" - Now for real. Same goals except now they have to be able to use our new munitions. Also they should have the power to pierce through body armor and kevlar.

15. New heavy tank (It should be faster, more maneuverable, while also keeping most of its armor.)

Production&misc:


A: When we get the Kerminky planes, have a few engineers reverse engineer them and give us the specs. If we have more than one, hold mock dogfights between their planes and the Seawind.
B: Figure out the distance to the major Kerminky cities and ports, and the major Tarain ports.
B. Produce all new designs but sniper rifle to impress high command and get feedback from soldiers. 
C. Request assistance of security service to protect our facilities
D. Suggest to remove Gilton Light Tank from active service and start exporting it to our minor allies. Wildcats will replace those tanks eventually. Humbly ask to use this funds to aid our facility.

1) New small arms to replace the old and/or malfunctioning designs we are currently producing.
2) New vehicle designs, with primary focus on armoured vehicles of all weights and classes
3) Development of a new range of field and support artillery.
4) New aircraft designs in the fighter/CAS/Multirole sectors
5) Heavy/defensive/emplaced weapons designs, to help up fortify our coastlines, holdings and other interests.

These are our current orders.

We had 8 projects last month, so with that in mind, I'm going to vote for : 11, 12, 8, 2 [Thus satisfying our orders, at least somewhat]

Then, for my own interest, voting for 4, 7 and 9.

I'm also voting for the following a project of my own.

16.Leviathan Class Submarine

All our current subs are designed for surface based operations. Considering our enemy has dive bombers, and radar is relatively prevalent on ships, that means our submarine fleet is going to get thoroughly trashed if war ever breaks out. Hence, the Leviathan submarine. Intended for underwater operations, it has no deck gun, no external tubes, and should be faster under water than many of our standard vessels above.

To that end, it should also be equipped with a Snorkel, and sensitive hydrophones. Maybe even a radar detector.

[3man75]

My only complaint with a new sub is that we won't be able to create the new tanks that we desprately need to combat the enemy armor that we are suppose to compete against in the next war. Said enemy has a really bad navy and I feel we don't need these naval assests yet. However, Tanks and new planes we do really need.

Which is why I motion that we move to getting those plane specs when the Kaminsky fighters come in. If there not in yet, then lets move forward with better heavy and medium armor.

By armor I mean tanks. Also if we can't get the Kamisnky planes maybe we could get some from KTP, IHI, or GMO? Their international so i'm sure they'll sell us two or three planes that we can reverse engineer and then use for mock battles. Of course if we do that it'd be prudent to pick the one with the best fighters or multi role planes.

EDIT: Gm what does "Kormayev Tyazla Promlysh" mean?

[Ukrainian Ranger]

for fighters I prefer to gamble and go for jets+helicopters (BTW, helicopters are the best tanks, flying tanks)

For armor... I think that my simple tank upgrade should work well enough and prefer to do no more than needed to keep our bosses happy.

Currently we are in process of making our infantry the best, so many good firearms. Great carabine, great shotgun, OK machineguns, few more weapons and they will be very deadly vs enemy infantry. When this task will be finished we may switch the focus

[Playergamer]

That's why I want us to make a new SMG, UR. We can replace the Lancasters with it, if it works out fine, and if it doesn't, it only took 1 turn of R&D anyway, versus all the effort we'd have to put into making a decent AR.
