by the way, since we are using german scientists... why not go with a fokker triplane? sure, triplanes don't really offer advantages, but they are such an interesting sight

anyway. voted for truck and plane.

Should we not screw our truck\plane

Motorcycle revision idea:

Reinforce the frame, improve all terrain perfomance, create 4 variants of  sidecar: machinegun, 20mm autocannon, mortar, transport

I would approve that revision. it gives it a versatility that mixes well with its extreme mobility. Might turn out useful in jungle and mountain, and it would definitely be useful in the desert .

AS-HV19: A heavy truck, built for logistics. Uses a cabover design, giving it a short, tall and square cabin- drivers climb up three steps to enter it. Includes six large, pneumatic tires- two wheels under the cabin steer, and four close to the back of the bed drive. A simple spring suspension system makes a very bouncy ride, amplified by the height of the cabin. Under the cabin is a fairly large eight cylinder engine, which belches black smoke from two exhaust stacks that go over the back of the cabin. The bed is five meters long and consists of a simple frame that can hold a hopper, tanker, or trailer hitch. Other things might easily be built to fit there, but engineering didn't get around to that. Gets up to 80 kph on a good road, and can carry eight tons without too much trouble. Unarmored. Conveys a 1 logistics bonus. Costs 2 ore, 3 oil.

It is Expensive for battlefield purposes, but that doesn't affect the logistics bonus.

AS-A19: Arstozka's first airplane! You can kind of tell. It is a triplane based on Fokker's model, build of wood and canvas. The motor is an eight cylinder rotary engine. The frame has very thick columns in between each wing, which mostly mitigates testing issues in which the top wings, wider than the lower ones, would break off at high speeds. The plane is very prone to yawing one or or the other on the runway during takeoff and landing. It also perpetually rolls a little to the left, counter to the heavy rotating engine. Engine stalling is common as well, at altitude. The planned AS-AC18 was found to be incompatible with interrupter gears due to its APIB action, and an AS-1910 is chosen instead, with four meters of ammo. The plane is generally awkward to fly and prone to suddenly pulling in one direction or the other. Arstotzkan test pilots, unfamiliar with anything more prone to flight than a motorcycle, suppose it to be pulled deliberately towards doom by malevolent spirits. Expensive due to the complexity of the control system and frame. Costs 2 oil.

You have gained: Airplanes, Interrupter Gear

by the way, I find it amusing that they spent a design on a tank that right now is a national effort for them to build.
It isn't.

It's merely very expensive.

But yeah, I vote for truck and plane.

On a side note, we have a problem. Advanced Primer Ignition is, like all open bolt weaponry incompatible with synchronization gears. You simply can't make that work. Hence, a small addendum to the proposal.

Damn, I knew that API doesn't work with inteerupter gear but failed to notice that it slipped to the proposal :(

Improve handling and durability of AS-A19


And I think we have to design another aircraft next turn. Probably a bomber with  20mm turret

So its my suggestion, with slightly more turret armor, a weaker gun, and tracked? Oh, and an extra dude.
Will my idea was to have a scout car with both a good weapon and off-road capabilitys.
It's meant to work as a scout and transport guard.
Think of it as a cross between a Kettenkrad and a AEC Armoured Car

Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.

Hey, that was exactly my idea too. Just based off of a different thing.

Guys, back to revision phase :)

As you can see I voted for improving handling and durability of our new aircraft because we don't need out of combat casaulities.

I bet it was the bloody Moskurgs who ruined our plane.

Improve the handlingof the A19 so it can fly acceptably. Use up to 3 Ore to make it happen. Lower priority is to mount a single centreline AC18 which fires through the propeller shaft.

Glory to Arstotzka.
