I go for the conventional, not the semi-tracked variant. We don't have the engine experience to make the semi-tracked variant both powerful and fast.

Steam is not safe. Steam will sear the flesh of your bones, if the boiler is hit.

Boiler made from thick metal, have to keep steam in side.
It like petrol tank bad things happen if thay are hit.

dammit now im typeing in the voice.

We can fit nozzles to fire super heated steam at any borderers.
Also steam can be used to blow up a steam screen.

I'm not sure how effective that'll be. On a side note, and file this under crazy projects, the original American Steam tank utilized it's steam engine to drive it's flamethrower.

Steam has been used to fire projectiles before see the Holman Projectormk 2

(Going to bed now, or at least gonna try to. Pleeeease make the SMG simpler during Revision.)

When our SMG has been revised, begin selling them/the design to Europe. (We're known in the market so this should be possible.)

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 a grenade launcher side-arm.
It'll stop an armoured cars.

Its also a hell of a lot more expensive than a rifle grenade and the blank needed to fire it. Also, I dont like the idea of using a pistol for a grenade launcher.

The idea is fine, the germans did it (see Sturmpistole
And even today American M79 grenade launchers are often cut down in size.

That wiki does say completely ineffective.

Personally I think we need some more AT punch. The battle report stated that our troops had very little in the way of being able to stop their SPATs. It might not mean much at the moment, but if they continue to develop their tank tech, we're going to be left behind.

It was ineffective against the tanks of ww2, the feeble Moskburg cars are nothing near them.

Ours is bigger and so it carries more explosive.

Tanks of WW2 includes the panzer2, which has less armor than our tank. And given that the evil imperialists have stopped using the mentally retarded as spies they may be able to steal one of ours.

Revision for armor piercing 7.62mm will be adequate to solve their armored car issue. SPAT is even more vulnerable than that.
Even without armor piercing, SPATs are perfectly killable by mortars and any small arms.

If you ask me, SPAT is a semi-wasted turn for them, especially considering that they used both phases on it.

Both phases, and it still has a track issue. Must have been some bad rolls.

I'm not against armor piercing bullets, but if we're going to use our Design shouldn't we get some thing that helps with more than just tanks.

If we go for rifle grenades or the grenades pistol we get a weapon that can kill more than just tanks.

[Knave]

Hmm, okay - thanks guys for explaining it UR/eb

I'm leaning towards a project that will improve our engine tech going forward then.

[10ebbor10]

Pretty sure the AP thing is a revision.

[Aseaheru]

Swaping me vote to the tracked motorcycle then.

[10ebbor10]

Just for the record, voting for the normal cycle.
