What's this Moksburg Ace thing anyway?

Some Struunk pilot managed to take down 3 of our tanks by himself. That makes him an Ace, though it doesn't do anything mechanically.

[andrea]

we have a triplane. we deserve our Red baron

petition to paint our ace's triplane red.

petition to paint our ace's triplane red.

Petition denied. Copying Germany's national hero just two years after his death is disrespectful.

Glory to Arstotzka and the Red Baron.

[andrea]

ah, right. I forgot we are going alongside the real world war.
well, then paint our ace's triplane white. if we ever get an aviation ace.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

We must call him Jammer. Shooting down flying radios for fun and profit. (yeah, I looked up their aircraft)

[10ebbor10]

I find their aircraft quite funny. They ask for something unarmed, and get a fighter which is arguably better than ours despite carrying half a ton of radio.

[Hiddenleafguy]

Yeah, has anyone considered making a two seated plane? We could have the auto cannon used by the observer.

That's what I suggested but apparently nope. I heavily suspect Moskurg agent involvement, both for getting our requested designs so wrong and for its currently awful performance.

Some more time is spent tooling the AS-A18's to belt feed.

Heyyyy! We just got belt-fed A18s for free!

If possible without using Revision or Design phases, replace the trains' 1910s with belt-fed AC18s. Because let's face it, the only danger that can come to them is Moskurgan spies and planes. No need to use AP rounds for either of them.

Glory to Arstotzka.

[10ebbor10]

AC18 will be stuck with AP untill it is revised. Another drawback of API.

The primary advantages are more firepower and reduced recoil.

[Andres]

It is dependent on a careful balance between the force of the shell and the force of the action, which means that different ammo types cannot be interchanged without recalibrating the gun.

It can use normal and AP equally as well, it just takes longer to switch between them than normal.

Glory to Arstotzka.

EDIT: If we design 5mm micro-SMGs, they could replace our sidearms and open up the path for 5mm miniguns.

EDIT2: It's 1:30AM so my ideas aren't the best right now. Good night.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

Now I am sure that Andres has relatives in Arstotzkan small arms industry.

I expect a hard turn for us even without possible problems from spies. Jungles 1/4 is very likely but I hope to not see 3/4 plains.

[andrea]

well. their airplane isn't going to do much in the jungle, at least. maybe we will hold.

plains, however, are in danger. and from the way sensei described it, our airplane might be a flying trap. with all its problems, it might work well to hit ground targets, but it will be troubling to fight other aircrafts.

[Aseaheru]

They cant really do much to our ground units besides directing arty... Well, if we can shove autocannons on trucks that will do a fair amount. Also, if we manage to get our fighters to follow them home, then strafe them while landed...

[Sheb]

Yeah, they really lucked on the plane. Without a revision, they got something that is better than ours and carry half a ton of radio...

[Ukrainian Ranger]

I am more afraid of their revision then their design. I'll not spoil it, but it is nasty.

Their aircraft is a dangerous forward observer. Should it go close to our lines for strifing, it will have to survive ground based 20mms. It is not an easy task. As for aircraft vs aircraft I think it depends on how bad our handling is. Wording is not clear.

I hope that logistics effect from the truck will be noticeable, as well as increased number of T15
