 Wait, what sort of nation are we? We have lotsa water and islands, or are we mostly landlocked? Is short runways an issue? Are there many long, straight lakes?

 Also, do we have to worry about anti-air?

[Funk]

Right lets get some good guns and some engines

Becker Type M2
1916 issue autocannon
Sunbeam Matabele
Curtiss D-12
1923 443 hp

Is the date the first flight, or the introduction?

I knew that I forgot to mention something important. It was meant to be start of mass production unless aircraft never went past prototype stage. I can make exceptions in some corner cases like Gabardine monoplane, but we all know that TB-3 is an aircraft of the next era comparing to everything that comes in 1925-1930 period

Wait, what sort of nation are we? We have lotsa water and islands, or are we mostly landlocked? Is short runways an issue? Are there many long, straight lakes?

The nation is located on peninsula, As for infrastructure it will be rolled later and depends on your choices here

 

Also, do we have to worry about anti-air?

You are in a civil war. Your enemy will start with same aircraft as you.  And if rolls will come not in your favor, enemy may have more aircrafts

[Aseaheru]

 I meant, do we need to worry about AA, as the airforce, or is that the armies job?


 With us being a peninsula, we may want to get some seaplanes... Torpedo bombers too.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

I meant, do we need to worry about AA, as the airforce, or is that the armies job?

It depends on your choice here and further actions. Expect some overlaps and competition between branches. Navy may opt for its own aviation, army will have its own AA.

[Aseaheru]

 Allright, so do we protect our own airfields, or is that the armies job?

[Ukrainian Ranger]

Allright, so do we protect our own airfields, or is that the armies job?

As I said - It depends on your choices and incoming rolls. Buy no\little air-defence and army will cover your airfields. Don't be sure that they will see it their top priority and dedicate a lot of resources

[Aseaheru]

Allright then. Here is my suggestion list for things.

This is assuming that we dont need to buy engines and guns for the aircraft.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

AEG G.IVg (2pt) The former government managed to acquired a number of these at the end of the world war, which we inturn captured. While the 400kg bombload is not much, conversions to a ground attack variant armed with a pair of 20mm autocannon have proved effective.
Becker Type M2 20mm cannon(1 point) Mounted on trucks as a form of SPAA, on stands as static anti-air, and on the AEG G.IVg, this autocannon is everywhere.
PV-1 machine gun(8pt(Import)) Our new friends in the soviet union have shipped us a number of these air cooled variants of the M1910 Maxim for use in, well, just about anything. We use a number of them as light anti-air guns, but we have been using them on our aircraft aswell.
Po-2(16) Another gift from our soviet friends, the Po-2 is quickly becoming an amazingly ubiquitous aircraft, mostly in recon roles and as a trainer. Experimentation with arming it with machine guns has proved that it is possible, and work on installing bombs and rockets to them for ground attack is underway.
Friedrichshafen FF.33(1(import)) another craft we "acquired" from the Germans at the end of the great war, the FF.33 is mostly used by the navy, what with its floats and all. It may eventually be phased out in favor of the Po-2, particularly as we never bothered learning how to make more.
NS class airship(2(import)) Designed by the English during the great war as long-range patrol craft, the former government bought a number of these to supplement, or possibly replace, various naval groups.

[I haz no No Names]

May I join as another part?

Commissioner of Signal Intelligence?

(Fancy words for comms and encryption stuff)

[Aseaheru]

I think we are all working together. At the least, thats what we did in the last iteration.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

Yeah. It is a suggestion game. Doing multilayer would be great but It would require much more time than I am ready to invest in the game....

Thinking more about list generation... It will take a long time to get a completed list, supported by 4 guys, right?

I change voting rules
As soon as some piece of equipment gets support from 3 players. It will be added to the list and points will be deducted from the limit

So far only Polikarpov Po-2 for 16 points have 2 votes.


Do not overthink stuff or try to minmax. I will find a way to balance whatever mix you can create. Game will be playable with 30 1 point purchases and with 16+8+4+2 scheme.

+1 to this list.

I propose that we scrap the NS Class airship from that list, and replace it with the German P-class, or better yet, the Q-version. Not only was it build earlier, allowing us to get the design rather than the import, it's also a proper airship, rather than a blimp.

+1 to this list.

Note that Aseaheru's comments has nothing in common with what you will actually get. Quantity and doctrine rolls can make you very unhappy.

[evilcherry]

Do we have a list of what actually got through?
