This probably is not our decision at all since we're just weapon designers, but will Plokhoy Ostrov be supporting the Republicans in the Spanish Civil War?

[Aseaheru]

Probally.

[coleslaw35]

Wow. I spoke too soon when I said we didn't have much stuff on the voting list.

Designs

D1 Fire storm interceptor


D2 Splinter Vest


D3.1 Minor redesign of the POAC


D3.2 Minor redesign and variants of the POAC


D4 RADAR system


D5 Attempt to fix the current interceptor's problems. (Most importantly, belt feeding cannons)

To improve the engine we could:

Redesign the engine's air intake to fit a two-stage supercharger, improve efficiency and saving engine power.

Add better cooling, some big air-to-liquid intercoolers should cool down the intake air.
Still this will add weight and drag.

Add nitrous oxide or methanol-water injection
Add turbochargers and make the engine twincharged

D6 Frigate

Mass-produceable frigate. Mounts a D4 radar and a hydrophone (plus radio, of course), two of the destroyer's HiLo turrets, four 40mm AAA pieces, and ten 20mm AAA guns. Leave space for an anti-sub rocket projector. Aim for a mass of about 1500t. Uses our AEM M1932 motor for propulsion, with a target speed of about 24 knots (using four motors, probably).

D7 Anti-Submarine Rocket Projector

An anti-submarine rocket system.
The complete system consists of a launcher base mounting 24 rockets on guidance rails. On firing command, these rockets are fired automatically in a ripple, landing on a fixed point, with a fixed scatter, about 200-300 meters in front of the firing vessel.
Each rocket consists of a propulsion unit, a warhead of 15-20kg and a detonator. This detonator is armed after firing when heading through the ocean surface, and detonates on contact.

Yes, this is basically a rocket-based hedgehog system.

Construct

C1: Place 40mm AA and HiLo guns in and around our industrial complex in the event of an airborne attack.


C2: One two-Line Munitions Factory


C3: One two-line Large Arms Factory


   C3.1: Two two-line Large Arms Factories


C4: Radar stations


C5: C5: Naval drydock factory
A factory for mass-producing D5 Frigates. Includes a drydock large enough for it, and a linked factory.




Acquire

A1: Acquire sea mines for development of our own.



Other


F1: Coleslaw's factory plan


F2: Use M-1 MGs in place of the Lewis MGs wherever lacking. For example, on our small ships and Baklan.

[3_14159]

The Hurricane is the engine, the I-C-M1936 is the plane.

Oh, of course. My bad. Yes, I meant the plane.
Belt-fed cannons, less armour, redesign of wings/aerodynamic shape? General streamlining?

This probably is not our decision at all since we're just weapon designers, but will Plokhoy Ostrov be supporting the Republicans in the Spanish Civil War?

This might actually make a good pre-war testing environment. For the game itself, it'd allow the players more direct feedback (something that's currently missing, and may be a reason for so few players).

Wow. I spoke too soon when I said we didn't have much stuff on the voting list.

We're nothing if not mad insane disproportionally optimistic creative.

We're nothing if not mad, insane, disproportionally optimistic. creative

Fixed that line for you.

[Aseaheru]

For F2, That is already being done where possible. Some things need small redesigns though.

 Basically, if the gun is stuck in something and designed before the MM1934, it needs some design work. If its stuck on top of something than it can use any LMG.

 Example: The POAC-H has two machine guns, one coaxially and one optional weapon in a pintle mount. The coax is designed for MM1934s, and the pintle mount can use whatever LMG is available.

Ah alright, cool.

[Aseaheru]

Well, if you want more T-18s than those need a redesign. So does the divebomber.

Course, the weapon you want to redesign it for changes how hard it is. Hell of a lot easier to use a MM1928 instead of the MM1911 than a MM1902
(Degtyaryov instead of a Lewis than a Madsen)

On the other hand, dedicating a single small-arms production line to the Lewis gives us more than enough for our current needs.

Edit: By the way, how big is our army?

[Aseaheru]

 Well, last I did anything with the numbers there where a grand total of... 22,334. Course, that includes untapped reserves and is four years out of date.

 Oh, and Pi here has finished their production and stocks stuff. Heres the figures.

Right-o. Then these are the current stocks/production figures.

[coleslaw35]

By the looks of it, we're also going to need an Engine factory so that we can produce more SDE 1933 engines.

Gosh, with these new stocks and shortfall indicators, it really shows that we need a lot of stuff.

[3_14159]

I think we're just waiting to begin voting. Unless anyone has any more ideas?

[Funk]

Lets try and buy some shotguns, pump action 12 gauge ones.

[coleslaw35]

Lets try and buy some shotguns, pump action 12 gauge ones.

I suppose it wouldn't hurt to try and acquire some shotguns so that we can build off them in the future, but they may not be quite as useful as a lighter rifle due to how situational they are.

[Funk]

I was just planing to issue them for ship/ base defence.
