Wait what? They're using a Brumby?

They designed an unarmed scout but engineers added a single Brumby out of their own initiative.

New aircraft is tempting. Problem is that if it will be mediocre we will still spend a revision.

TOO FEW ACTION SLOTS

TOO FEW ACTION SLOTS

Mediocre is better than what we have. Now, even though controlling the skies should be our biggest priority, we do actually need to do something about our situation in the Jungle. Moskurg is advancing and if we don't do something about that they'll control it by 1921. If they do, they'll have access to Ore and Oil and it'll be very difficult to get them out.

Glory to Arstotzka.

Tank/scout car should be the solution there. Not a lot SMGs can do agianst proper armor. Or we could go the flamethrower route...

[Aseaheru]

We have three light tank designs which say just about exactly the same thing.

[Andres]

If we're getting an armoured car designed for the jungle, its turret should be able to mount a detachable MC18 for anti-vehicle or a detachable 1910 for anti-infantry. A tank cannon is unnecessary.

The thing about tank turrets - especially early turrets - is that they're slow to turn. In the Jungle, ambushes play a large role due to the low visibility and our reaction time to those ambushes need to be high. A tank cannon would rotate too slowly and they take too long to reload.

We could make an RPG if we wanted to. Our Light Mortar's description says it works similar to one.

BTW, I think we are becoming Moksburgish in designs. Too many details, fancy and risky projects. Should stop that.

I think I decided want I want for the next turn.

Spoiler: AS-A20-F (click to show/hide)

Biplane fighter. Top priorities are low complexity and easy handling even if this means sacrificing speed, max load or manoeuvrability. Armed with one 20mm cannon or two 7.62mm machineguns. Use all knowledge gained from operating AS-A19.

This way A19 may stay in a role of ground attack aircraft\aces' toy, while A20 ill be mainline cheap fighter for winning the war by numbers.

A tank isn't risky, we basically have all the prerequisite tech:Treads, Vehicle Armor, Petrol Engines, 20mm Autocannon. Should eb a simple matter of pulling that all together

[Hiddenleafguy]

Also, if we have a two seater biplane, we can give the observer an auto-cannon.

The only thing we're missing is Turret technology but it shouldn't be too difficult to design, considering it'd be the only new piece of technology we'd be developing.

I resubmit my grenade rocket pistol.

Spoiler: Thunder pistol Mk 1 (click to show/hide)

A breech loading single shot pistol.
It fires shells of the same rocket-propelled high explosive type as the 8cm mortar
but smaller 30 x 70mm in size.
It's high explosive charge should be able to defeat 15mm of armour at lest 50& of the time

It should be cheap and small size so every soldier can carry one.
(Even if it's costly it a small  weapon so thay can carry a normal gun as well.)

+1 to tanks

Edit: don't forget the Hydro-pneumatic Suspension

Since I'm going to be going to bed soon, I'm gonna resumbit my tank for the next design phase:

Spoiler: T-20 Light Tank (click to show/hide)

A 3 man, 8-ton max tank with a fully rotating turret containing a AC18 and a coaxial AS-1910, with another 1910 mounted topside. It has 25mm armor on the front, 15 on the sides, and 10 on the rear, and 20mm all around on the turret. It has a 75 horsepower engine and a hydro-pneumatic suspension that should provide a decent top speed and at least a somewhat smooth ride. The armor should try to use high grade alloys equal to at least RHA.

And before you guys get on my case about the frontal armor, I'd like to remond you that the FT-17 had 22mm frontal, and it was the most successful tank of WWI. (It also was slow as balls, but it only had a 39hp engine as well, so a 75hp engine is a big improvement!)

You can't get a tank that has thicker and higher quality armour than our current T15 and call it a "light" tank.

As for me, this is my own design for an armoured car as well as the others.

Spoiler: AS-MV20 (click to show/hide)

The MV20 is an armoured car build specifically for Jungle use. It runs on a petrol engine and has hydropneumatic suspension for increased speed, better terrain traversal, and a more stable shooting platform. It has an man-operated turret where a belt-fed AC18 with AP rounds can be mounted, though a 1910 can be mounted there instead. The passenger side has a 1910 mounted on it. The armour in the front should be enough to stop 7.76mm AP rounds, the armour on the sides should be enough to stop .30 cal rounds, and the armour in the rear should be enough to stop .35 cal pistol rounds.

EDIT: Hit Post instead of Preview. Editing.

Glory to Arstotzka.

EDIT2: Looked back up until we made the plane and couldn't find other designed for an armoured car, only another for a light tank.

[tryrar]

That just goes to show you how much our current "tank" sucks It's an extremely heavy behemoth that has paper armor, whereas this is an 8-ton tank that's better in every respect.
