It would be the most heavily armored IFV in the world! ha ha ah.  Is that a good thing?

Ask Germans in 14 years if having the most heavily armored vehicle in the world is a good thing.

I resent that. All I did was point out that we may want a pistol which is not the worst piece of crap in the universe.

We know. The problem is, we can't really afford to do anything to it

[Sheb]

I4m just kidding?

[andrea]

Smells of Bradley,  except much heavier due to armor. And therefore sloewer. And bigger due to crew, so slower. It will not take infantry around fast and it will be painted as target by artillery and tanks from which it cant protect itself.  It is not an IFV, it is a tank with an oversized body and an undersized gun.

[Aseaheru]

 Its a WW1 troop carrying tank.

 In other words, it carries troops in a big target slower than those troops could walk.

[VoidSlayer]

Okay okay so it is more like a mobile bunker.  It would take anti tank rounds to take down.

But is that a bad thing?  It should at least get the same speed as our main tank!

I am going to keep pushing some kind of IFV, in the meantime I like all the bomber proposals.

Air based rocket systems would really be against ground targets atm due to no guidance systems.

[VoidSlayer]

Yeah I am just playing around with designs, everyone is set on a airplane this turn.

I just do not want another AS-MAT26-50, where it is totally vulnerable to shotguns.

[Kot]

Gib BMP.

[10ebbor10]

Our AS-MAT26-50 is quite succesfull. It's just an àrtillery piece, not a tank.

[VoidSlayer]

Okay how about a lighter IFV?

A-31-IFV

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

A light tracked vehicle designed to carry a squad of infantry in relative safety and provide close combat support.  Has medium RHA on a sloped front and light RHA on all other sides. It is powered by a fuel injected, turbo engine with treads on hydro-pneumatic suspension.  Has a crew of two and can carry an additional 10 soldiers with equipment.

Primary weapon is an AS-AC18 on a 360 degree pivot with armored protection for the operator on the top.  Secondary weapons are firing ports for infantry to use, four on each side, two on the front and two on the back.

There is a top roof hatch for use with the AS-AC18 which can be used to exit one at a time as well as a main armored door on the back.

It needs spaced or slanted armor. Lightweight solution against their RR.

-1, doesn't conform to naming scheme. Also, popping out of the hatch to use the autocannon? Firing ports for infantry IN FRONT (how do they even get there, considering it's going to be cluttered with driver, transmission and is going to be sloped)? No machineguns? Turbo engine with TREADS ON HYDRO-PNEUMATIC SUSPENSION, HOLY SHIT MAN THIS TANK IS SO TANK IT'S ENGINE IS A TANK! Also 10 soldiers? IMHO, we should rather go the way everyone else went and make open toppped (maybe with wire cover that can be opened when you need some more firepower and grenades (when they make them) won't get in) infantry halftrack.

It needs spaced or slanted armor. Lightweight solution against their RR.

We can tell our soldiers to ride our vehicles to protect them from RR, just like Soviets!

[andrea]

Our armored cars are a way better base for an IFV. Carrying many soldiers in a lumbering mass of steel when the enemyhas tanks is an horrible idea. And it is going to be sslower than our tank because to carry soldiers it will have to be bigger

The first IFV i mean.

Anyway, my next iteration of the bomber.

Spoiler: AS-1931-HAFB (click to show/hide)

A high altitude fast bomber. It utilizes a geodetic airframe, which consists of a tight web of aluminum beams covered with doped fabric. This structure is both light, easy on the amount of materials required, and high resistant to damage (and was pioneered on airships for this reason). Numerous frames can break before the plane looses structural integrity, and even a direct hit by a flak cannon need not be fatal. (Downside is that the complexity of the frame makes it harder to change the physical dimensions of the craft)

The plane is powered by 3 supercharged fuel injected engines, 1 in the nose and 2 in the wings. Giving it the range to bomb Moskurgian cities and the altitude and speed required to bypass it's defenses.

The craft is to be capable of carrying between 1 and 2 ton of bombs internally, dropped accurately using a bomb sight. Defenses are the placement of one 20 mm autocannon in the tail of the aircraft and another mounted ventrally.

I support the AS-1931-HAFB

Yeah, this. Except we shouldn't push for tail autocannon too much, if we're going to lose bombload or make it complex/expensive/whatever, remove it.
