Voting for the tank

We're probably going to have some serious problems in the near future, what with the enemy having 2 designs now.

[Aseaheru]

 Almost certainly.

Tanky tank vote.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

Tank, no other choice I am not sure that diesel is a great idea... but we can try and we can always use revision to fix faults.

We need to prepare to holding the plains because they will use one of their designs for parity in the air

Well, out of my revision ideas, what do you think we should do assuming we don't need to fix things on the tank?

[Ukrainian Ranger]

I prefer to revise the tank even if it will be great.

The insides of the tank should be made of aluminium to decrease weight, assuming this would drive the cost of the tank no higher than 6 Ore, doesn't decrease the chances of success of other features of the tank being included, and would be enough to drop the Oil cost of the tank to 2.

Glory to Arstotzka.

I was avoiding aluminum hoping we could make it cost no more than 5 at the most(and hoping for 4. I know, dream on right? Well, with RHA it'd be possible)

Seriously though dude, instead of trying to modify my design, why not write up a full counter-proposal? It gets annoying after a while...

[Andres]

Actually, you're right. If it costs 6 Ore and the aluminium isn't enough to decrease its Oil cost to 2, it would decrease the amount of tanks we could build with not enough speed in return. Edited my previous modification.

Well, that's what the fuel injection and turbocharger(and hopefully diesel) are for, trying to decrease fuel usage while maintaining a reasonable power-to-weight ratio. The aluminum would only help by making the tank lighter, and unless we make the entire tank from aluminum, I'm not sure it would be enough to make a difference. However, I do agree that if the cost in ore would push the tank to 5 ore anyways(making it expensive), using aluminum on interior structure wouldn't be a bad idea as long as it doesn't push costs to Very Expensive.

Both the tank cannon and the tank should use hydropneumatic suspension.

You know, I really should have the list of tech we have open in another tab when I write these up, since this is something I forgot. Unless we want to go for a torsion bar suspension, or a leaf spring suspension.

We're already developing quite a lot of tech with this tank. Let's not be any more ambitious.

I highly suspect Moskurg to develop something to compete with us in the air and in the Jungle. The tank should help keep the fight in the Jungle somewhat even but we'll need to make our planes cheap to compete with whatever they develop.

Which is why I included fuel injection to drop costs, and plan to do vehicle revisions in case that doesn't happen. The more we use fuel injection, the more it gets refined and the less expensive it gets.

[Andres]

You know what, I really do think we should go for rocket launchers next year. The RPG was like the assault rifle in that they both only took so long to be invented due to a lack of perceived need. Up until WWII, there just wasn't much demand for a tank-killing infantry weapon.

Even if we don't get what we want due to being ahead of time, we'll get closer to developing the technology and we'll at least develop AT rounds for the rest of our explosive weapons.

I'm more along the lines of designing our own radios, since it seems we're having no luck stealing theirs.
