Wait, how can our 88mm FlaK copy not outrange every single Astrotzkan weapon on ground?

Peculiar indeed. Maybe the optics don't work out?

Yeah, we got the Radio cheap after designing those vehicles, and I don't think Sensei updated the descriptions.

The main difference is this though. Our vehicles were specifically designed to accept radios once they became cheaper.

But Sensei said multiple times (in our thread at least) that we could put our radios in our vehicles. The description specifically says we can put it in all of our vehicles without losing performance.

[Taricus]

You can put them into the vehicles with affecting the vehicle's performance, but you'd still need to revise the deign to hold it.

[Sensei]

It looks like Arstotzka got radios cheap before the 1929 battle report, but I didn't account for it being in their tanks and stuff. As such, it's really very dumb to say that Moskurg got a big advantage from making their own radios cheap in 1932. At this point, both tanks should reasonably have radios as a standard feature. As for the Bumblebee, it should perhaps be more effective against ground targets, although I'm stating that the sights are wonky to use when aimed at the ground.

I'm going to edit the turn now. Possibly better for Arstotzka.

Actually, one thing I don't understand is how they got cheap radios whilst still having less experience in that department, doubly so since encryption machines don't use vacuum tubes.

The DC29 is a computer. Computers used vacuum tubes, according to Wikipedia.

Good rolls. And the encryption machines involve receiving and transmitting radio signals as much as regular radios do.

[Taricus]

Vacuum tube computers are a bit of a way off, and weren't used for encryption. And most encryption devices in the period were mechanical computers. As for transmission, the machines weren't used for tactical-level units, just written/typed messages used in HQ units.

[Sensei]

I have updated the turn. While Arstotzka did not gain more ground (I considered the Bumblebee's 3.6 inch rounds more effective than I did earlier) I consider them closer to doing so, in terms of needed improvement.

Technically, our encryption machines are 1-bit mechanical computers.

[Andres]

I was just looking at Moskurg's technology and their flamethrower description is rather interesting.

[Kashyyk]

How so?

Yes we have a mechanical computer, based on the Tiger's Whisper, I do not know why everyone keeps saying it has vacuum tubes.

[Sheb]

Because the encryption machine include a radio (to get the signal it decodes). While working on it, we found a better way to manufacture that part and get it cheaper.
