I say /number would be for something that has multiple barrels(like a multiple mount AA). -20 would denote barrel size (like 20mm autocannon)

Ґ ґ - my suggestion for the currency symbol

A3 is fine, IMO

Awesome. Don't forget to put this in the OOC.

1)how to resize?
2)the cyrillic A proposed for the currency looks exactly like a normal A. do we go with it, or pick another?
3) anything you think needs corrected?

1) In Paint, click 'Resize' (next to the select button, but make sure nothing is selected), click 'Pixels', make sure 'Maintain Aspect Ratio' is ticked, change either the horizontal or the vertical to a smaller number (it'll do the other automatically), and finally click 'OK'.
2) Keep it.
3) "While the Moskurg army flees and regroups, our brilliant engineers work on fortifying the new border, repairing the railroad and resettling the region" is missing a comma. I added it into the quote.

EDIT: "Evicted from their trenches and their unlawful homes, the cowardly enemies fled back to their native desert..."

EDIT2: "...the cowardly enemies fled back to their native desert, hoping to hide in the hot sands. After a brief incursion to follow them, the high command of Arstotzka decided to allow them to flee and tell the news of our inevitable advance.

Ahh, what the hell, I'll switch my vote for the AS-AC18-20. We don't need quite that big an AT gun yet, and this will get us a gun that can be used in aircraft as well.

Spoiler: Proposals (click to show/hide)

AS-AT18-35  (High velocity 35 mm tank gun)
+ Should be an effective solution against enemy tanks for the near future
+ Precursor to medium-light tank
+ Largest sensible name yet

AS-AC1918 (20 mm Autocannon)
+ Should be an effective solution against enemy tanks for the near future
+ Finally resolves the fact that we don't actually have a machine gun anyone can carry
+ Early anti-aircraft/ Potential aircraft armament.

AS-R18  (Bolt action sniper rifle)
+ Should be adequate against enemy armor
+ Good in mountains and other places were snipers are useful

AS-RH18-320
+ Can attack enemy resource production in the desert
+ Battleship precursor
+ Really big gun

Arstotzka-class Gunboat
- No numbers in the name
+ Creates navy

AS-SAR17. (Semi-auto Battle Rifle)
+ Resolves our infantry disadvantage
+ Unlikely to fail, considering all precursor technologies were already developed

Looks like no proper tank gun anytime soon

[tryrar]

If something more armored than their current vehicles shows up, I'll support a 35mm AT gun all the way. Right now, we can use the flexibility mre.

[Hiddenleafguy]

I change my vote to the at18

changed vote to AS-AC18-20. it should still work well against their armored vehicles, and it does have some versatility.

If there are no more corrections to make, I'll post my propaganda in the main thread.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

10ebbor10 bases his design on a gun that used 20mm*70mm rounds.   The bullet used is shorter then 12.7mm*99mm milimeter that 0.5 browning calibre uses.  Tank armed with this = tankette. Good early aircraft weapon, sure. BTW if we really want it to be somewhat portable, then 20*70mm caliber should be mentioned in description. We are designing our own Stallion (somewhat thicker but likely shorter bullets, If their 0.6 is proportional to realworld 0.5 it should be 15.25*120mm)  with API tech not a cannon

For reference: Proper light tank, Panzer II used 20mm*138mm rounds.



I am sure that Hiddenleafguy changed his vote, not did his second choice vote

[andrea]

I think you are right, updated my post to match

[Hiddenleafguy]

Wait, I get a second choice?

[Ukrainian Ranger]

Well it was introduced by Andres. I don't really like such kind of voting and prefer no conditional - "if A don't get enough votes, I vote for B" in voting system.

[tryrar]

Hmm, point. If we want a proper autocannon we should at least have 20x100mm rounds. Might hurt portability, but if API blowback becomes a thing that might make up some of that.

Edit: In fact, I'm only keeping my vote for this if we use a 20mmx100mm round. An autocannon round shouldn't be less than 100mm long

[Aseaheru]

Same here. If its not, the vote goes to the 37mm cannon.
