Excuse me, my dear congregation of fellow scientists and engineers. I am not sure if I am allowed to speak in this place, but still I shall take the risk.

for one, I want to say some good words in favor of trucks. If we win ground in any of the battlefield, we are going to need more transportation capabilities, and meanwhile armored cars of any sort are valuable, even if [expensive] after 1920 ( and that is if our clear superiority doesn't win us any new oil).

That said however, in the shortest term the Wheeled motorcycle is, I feel, our best bet to capitalize on the mobility advantage we gained with the submachine gun.

In the same vein, for the revision I strongly suggest we simplify the SMG so that more of our soldiers can use it. Even in its currently limited availability it has earned us great advantages on the battlefield, just imgine the glory if it could be a common weapon in our army!

PS: for fairness, I haven't read the other nation's thread. Besides, they use imperial system! yikes.

Just for the record, voting for the normal cycle.

(You may want to use bold as Sensei requested.)

"Thank you. Now to make you lunch!"

Design Thunder pistol Mk 1
Revision simplify the SMG

Design Wheeled Motorbike
Revision Simplify SMG(and maybe up reliability while we're at it)

Edit: Oh hey, I had an idea! Make a sidecar with a pintle-mounted weapon, either a 12.7mm AT rifle, or a 20mm AT rifle! By using a sidecar for this, if the gun doesn't work out we ditch the sidecar and still have a normal motorcycle(assuming the motorcycle itself turns out fine ). Plus, the crews can still carry their smgs.

Design: Wheeled motorbike
Revision: Simplify SMG, upgrade power with hollow point bullets

I think its time to go for a boat. If we stay close to the shore, the storm wont be an issue.

[andrea]

in fact, our brave boats  might exploit the storms to sail inland above our enemy trenches. AH! imagine the face of our enemies, as our boats sail above them on a giant wave!

( not entirely serious. But boats might be useful. just not really our priority right now I think)

"Ahem, perhaps we could clear up the stalemate in the mountains by making an accurate sniper rifle?"

"Ahem, perhaps we could clear up the stalemate in the mountains by making an accurate sniper rifle?"

Let's split the difference!

Design:Wheeled Motorbike with an OPTIONAL sidecar with a pintle-mounted 12.7mm sniper/AT rifle. This scout give our scouts some punch, and they can still carry around their smgs on their backs.

[andrea]

that would greatly complicate the design... up to the sidecar, ok. But on top of that, we would be designing a whole new car with optics to match (if sniper)

the motorbike might prove itself useful even on the muntains, but it greatly depends on the status of roads and paths and on the slopes encountered.

While gaining ground in the mountains would indeed be great ( denying them ore!), I am not sure a sniper rifle offers enough advantage to do so, and for now we should press our advantages.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

Yeah, that kind of cheating(design a motorbike and rifle attachable to it)  will not work

[Aseaheru]

Just... Why are we even talking about designing 12.7mm weapons? They arent that much better than what we currently have, and if we are going to design new shit we may aswell go the whole hog and grab, say, 20mm.
