I really prefer to go simple and get a truck next turn unless some "react now" kind of disaster will happen.

I'm pretty sure the Moskurgs just stole our SMG design, quite possibly putting CQC back in their favour. We're gonna need to make the SMG cheap, because if they manage to make it cheap before we do we are f***ed.

So production. Stop production of original AS-F14, but keep the guns.

Yeah, we have a better gun now, no need to keep producing the shitty carbine.

Hold on a minute, there. I could very easily be mistaken but the carbine itself could've received a more reliable blowback action. If so, the increase in reliability should keep it pretty useful. Besides, the carbine still plays an important duty in CQC despite its reliability issues while the F14A is meant for longer-range engagements.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

Yep, no need to remove the carabine from production

And I still don't see much advantage in cheap SMG. All SMG squads aren't practical

[Ukrainian Ranger]

I suggest to go for a mountain howitzer and a truck for designs and fix the motorbike during revision should above designs bring no problems.
We need to win mountains to make their armour more expensive and we need more resources for ourself.

[Aseaheru]

Two designs? Great! This means we can get our totally not a copy of a coldwar tankette and something else at the same time! Like a sniper rifle!

Writing up tankette design now!

[tryrar]

So, I say we use our design credit for a standard 1200kg truck for hauling everything we need to haul. It should have an armored cab able to stop up to a .30mg bullet as well as shrapnel, a 50hp engine, a transmission geared for pulling power, a MG mounted on the top of the cab(accessible from the load area and as well as a small hatch on the passenger side) and include in that an optional bed-mounted pedestal mount for an AC18-20 so that some trucks can provide fire overwatch for the convoy. Call it the AS-CT19

As for our other design, we definitely need another tank. We have all the tech needed for it, and it's just a matter of pulling it all together. I resubmit my Badger, officially the T-19 Light Tank "Badger"

Spoiler: T-19 Light Tank "Badger" (click to show/hide)

The Badger is a 8.5 ton tank with a 80hp engine linked to a common transmission, which drives the two treads. It has 3 crew, is armored around 30mm frontally, 15-20mm on the sides and rear, 10mm top and bottom, and around 25mm on the turret. The turret is eletrically powered and carries one AC18-20 autocannon its ammo, a coaxial AS-1910 MG, as well as more reloads. The tank should try to reach speeds of 25km/h(faster on a road).

Yes they damn well are. When you're clearing a building, you know what's better than 1 SMG and 4 rifles in a squad? Five SMGs in a squad. Same thing when assaulting trenches or in the jungles. All-machine gun squads aren't practical, but SMG squads certainly are.

If we want more resources, all we have to do is revise a new steam engine to let our trains carry more resources. Alternatively, we could put the design credit to use and make it a full-on design, possibly letting us get 2 more resources than we are right now.

Ok, we have to revise our SMG and make it cheap. It's our only chance if we want to stand up to Moskurg in the near future. If they fully replace their lever-action rifles with SMGs, they could take the Jungle completely in one year and it'll be difficult to eject them.

I like the idea of Truck + tank for our designs. Let's go full motorized!

I might try to add an mg or two to the Badger though so it has anti-personnel punch as well.

Heh, knew I forgot something!

And, in direct opposition to the Badger(why are we giving things names like dirty imperialists anyways?), the AS-LAC1/20-19

Spoiler: AS-LAC1/20-19 (totally not a Ferret with an autocannon) (click to show/hide)

 The LAC 1 is a light wheeled vehicle armed with a 20mm autocannon, and a crew of two. The first is the driver, who drives the four ton vehicle, and the second is the commander/gunner, who utilizes the 20mm cannon to chew through the opposition while the driver dodges return fire. For this purpose the vehicle possesses an electronically driven turret. The vehicle possesses minimal armor, only 10mm in all directions except the front, which carries an extra 5mm. The entire vehicle is propelled by a single six cylinder engine which drives a pair of wheels on each side, all designed to continue working after the wheel goes flat.

And thats three ninjas. Here is my response!

truck is plain better for this role. Of course normal plain truck, not one with a machinegun attached. Also not only we want resources, we want deny enemy resources (read get those mountain mines)

Yawns. Small-arms obsession is still here... We can revise motorbike to be more reliable, more all-terrain and carry 20mm gaining nice edge in jungle.

We can design light tank that can operate here. Or light artillery. or landmines. Or many other things to negate their better (maybe) short range infantry vs infantry fighting. Wars aren't won with smallarms.

[Aseaheru]

Well, eventually they are, but they need stuff to let them win.

[Tomasque]

What about the psychological warfare I suggested?
Going in such a direction would be completely unexpected by the enemy, and thus tactically advantageous.
Think about it.

Yeah, let's not waste time with this, it's not likely to work

We need something to defend our holdings in the jungle. If we don't, we could easily get overrun once they make a cheap SMG. They could even expel us from the forest altogether, after which it'll be a nightmare to get them out.

20mm is obscenely heavy for a WWI tank or even a WWII tank. 30mm is insane. Having less millimetres but using metal that doesn't such is the way to go. Also, I'm not sure we need a new tank. If we get a new engine, we can increase the T15's speed and with the Ore we'd get, we'd automatically make it Expensive. A new engine also lets our train ships food, supplies, and soldiers to the front lines quicker.

Design a new, more efficient steam engine capable of getting us 2 more resources instead of 1.

Design the AS-MG18.

Spoiler: AS-MG18 (click to show/hide)

The AS-MG18 is a machine gun that uses the standard 7.76mm bullets. It's magazine-fed and can be carried and operated by one person. Reliability in the Jungle and portability are the top two priorities.

Glory to Arstotzka.

We have carabines, we have shotguns.

The GM literally said our Expensive SMG was revolutionary. I honestly have no idea why you think SMGs are so useless. All evidence in the battle reports says that they're supremely useful. Heck, we were on the cusp of beating them in the Jungle and only turned us back once they stole our own SMG design.

[Aseaheru]

Its so amazing because we developed it so fucking early and its (sorta) cheap. Now jsut... Shop.. Please. You are alienating yourself and your suggestions by ranting on and on about the fucking things.
