Yeah, we're just complaining because it's kinda weird that we had to order our troops to use the fancy encoder we made for them, and that because of that we didn't get any bonus out of encoding.

 Huh, I thought I had asked this earlier, but cant find the post or a response, so here it is (possibly again).

 Will it be possible to attack an area on two flanks? And if so, at what point will that be possible?

I think thats up to high command, but I may be mistaken.

Jesus Christ guys, you are at the edge of our cities and you still find reason to complain, we built this weapon to fight in the desert and you advanced.
Yeah, and we doubled down in the desert designing both those artillery shells and the encryption/decryption system. And we already had an advantage to begin with.

Edit: When can we actually start attacking the enemy supply lines and start to cut off the forces in the mountains and Jungle?
So what you did worked. You ignored other areas at the expense of advancing in the desert.

And you know, we're not complaining about that. (Though the Jungle situation appeared a bit strange, but really that's not worth mentioning ).

The point is that we're faced with a weapon (crappy as it is) whose way of functioning is contrary to reality, and thus throws a whole lot of trouble into the game's workings.

Basically, the only way the RR can work is if medium armor is really, really bad, in which case our autocannon should work as well.

Uuuuugh, I want to join in, but I'm not sure which side to join. Who would be "winning" right now, not that I'm just going to join the winning side. I was originally thinking of going with Moskurg, but something made me decide to wait a bit and think on it. How many people are on each side?

Well, on a strategic level, Arztotska is winning. On a tactical level, it's Moskurg.

ARSTOKZA

silly "arstokzans" don't even know the name of their own country, yet they give all "glory" to it? :P

It seems I may be a Moskurgan by heart. :P

I don't think you should care about who's winning, honestly, just read both threads, then the one you want to make a suggestion in first is your pick.

I really don't. Like, if Moskurg were losing I would've probably joined them anyways. I was just wondering who was currently winning.

By "tactically", that means "GM believes that Moskurgan designs work better than expected, while failing continuously to understand Arstotzkan designs".

Arstotzka's thread has many more pages than Moskurg so you may want to join Moskurg for that reason. Arstotzka is currently winning, holding 5 territories past the mid-line versus Moskurg's 2.

Finding evidence that that solidcore AP slugs don't work is hard because only Germans apparently considered using it (as in, taking an existing shell and putting it in it) and even then there is no actual evidence of using it, since HEAT penetration values of LG 40 can be easily accessed, but the AP ones can't, and there's a chance they don't actually exist. I can't find 7.5 cm FK 16 nA AP penetration values also, and while the 10,5 got it's shells from leFH 18, and I can't find values for that too, except maybe from WoT (so that's bullshit proably, 63 mm from 100m at 475 m/s, better than I would have thought, but honestly it's a 10,5 cm artillery shell, it may as well break through by sheer weight) and War Thunder (closer to reality I think, but still "balanced") as it's a F2P Multiplayer, anyway the penetration is 64mm at 100m, woah that's pretty consistent with WoT which is suprising really), because nowhere else it has AP rounds.
