Yeah, we stalled mostly due to their "better coordination" and their AA reducing our bomber's effectiveness. Both can be corrected without design or revision (By flying the bombers low with escorts, and by reminding our tank crews not to leave their radio at camp).

I'd say either a new tank, artillery, or some kind of directional radio beacon. We don't really need radar yet.

[andrea]

will flying low actually help? I guess the point is so we are faster than their turn rate?

[Sheb]

Yeah, pretty much. Moving too fast for them to aim.

Radium Bomb

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

A one ton bomb consisting of powdered radium and other radioactive materials packed around an explosive core.  It is designed to detonate above the ground and spread the radioactive materials over a large area.

Nerve Gas Shells

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

An airborne blood agent fitted into an artillery shell or small bomb and dispersed over a large area.  Inhalation causes seizures and death.

No treaty? Fine.

These are just bare ideas if anyone really likes any of them I can give a more detailed proposal.

We need some form of protection be for we can start playing with chemical weapons.
While we can probably just buy/ import gas masks here's a revised Uniform

Spoiler: Uniform AS-CWU23 (click to show/hide)

The AS-CWU23 Chemical Warfare uniforms come in the same patterned camouflage colors as the AS-GU23 but it is constructed of impermeable and uncomfortable rubber-coated canvas.
Rubber glove and boot covers are also issued.
It includes a face covering gasmask which is connected via a flexible hose to a back mounted fillter.

consideirng your list of suggestions, I suppose your focus is on the plains.

of those, I think a new tank might be the most impactful, although rocket artillery is a step toward a personal goal of mine ( as we gain solid rocket technology, I want to get a rocket able to deliver a payload to orbit. lets humiliate the powers of the world. and get some cameras up there ). Beacons on the other hand are mainly for the sake of our bombers, which would avoid most AA due to nocturnal raids.

Maybe it is time to start making some designs

Spoiler:  AS-T33 (click to show/hide)

A medium tank built as a further developement of the T25, it uses the same sloped armor design but with thick frontal armor, while retaining medium armor on all other sides. it has a powerful diesel engine, using once again both fuel injection and turbocharger. Its main gun is an high velocity 75 mm tank gun with muzzle brakes, designed to destroy vehicles at range. It also has a coaxial machinegun and a pintle mounted machinegun on the top, It has an hydropneumatic suspension to keep accuracy while moving. Its turret has electric motors, to allow speedier turns.

Directional radio, sadly, doesn't work at low altitude.  Ground and such gets in the way.

Spoiler: AS-HV19-RA39 (click to show/hide)

Basically, our truck, with some thin armor to protect the cabin. In the back, a simple installation is present, consisting out of a series of parralel rails on which rockets can be placed. The rocket itself has a diameter of 150 mm, and is 3m long, stabilized by a couple of fins. All rockets can be fired in quick succesion, fter which the vehicle can relocate and reload.

How about this.

A small aerodynami

[andrea]

you messed up something there.

Anyway... why? to kill enemy armor our current bombs seem to work just fine. nobody has the kind of top armor needed to stand direct bombardment.

oh, I forgot

Their nuclear weapon counter went up by 1

edit: tracing back to the supposed point of origin  I notice that a year they only designed the wasp, in 23. Still, I suppose that they couldn't have start going nuclear with a revision, even iwth 10 years of work.
other possibility is that in the matter of the US U-boat their spy managed to steal something, but it doesn't fit with Sensei's usual reporting style.

I would have to read all the report trying to find oddities.

[10ebbor10]

1) our current bomber drops a few big bombs. From low altitude, this will result in the bomber blowing itself up.
2) fixes RPG.

[andrea]

we still need a fuller description than :

Spoiler: AS-1933-PTAB (click to show/hide)

A small aerodynami

I am sure it got cut for some reason, but a small aerodynami is not very descriptive.
also, not sure it would actually fix the RPG as well, but that depends on the description.

opinions on their counter going up?

I maintain it is a joke.

[Execute/Dumbo.exe]

If people are still suspicious, can't we send out our new spy to see if they're actually making a Nuke?

[10ebbor10]

That's wasting an action.

Basically, the only way they're actually making a nuke is if the GM is actively cheating in their favor. In that case, we have lost already. I maintain it is a joke, intended on making us waste an action.

Note that the GM has refused to confirm it was real, whereas otherwise he always did.

You have no evidence that it's just a joke. Nukes are not something we should face with denial. We can't think they haven't invented nukes just because they weren't at this time IRL. Nukes could've been theorised earlier than usual and uranium could've been discovered by them.

They designed and revised their wasp that year. First iteration was very flawed.

Anyway

Spoiler: AS-1933-AATP (click to show/hide)

A small aerodynamic bomblet, weighting  about 2 kg. Ideally, can be fitted with both HEAT and HE and AP (solid metal) warheads. It can placed directly in the bomb bay, allowing our bomber to carry 1000 of the things and 250 on the dive bomber, or can be placed in canisters containing each containing 40 bombs (allowing them to be mounted on our fighter).

When dropped from low altitude, these bombs will saturate a small area with bombs, with between 1-5 bomb per square meter. Any tank, vehicle or person within the bomb zone will be destroyed.
