By the way, how is operation tigerfucker?

[Ukrainian Ranger]

My current priorities are

1) Holding 4/4 plains to keep our oil
2) Be sure that we can hold Taiga if we lose Jungle
3) Advance in desert
4) Hold jungles
5) Win mountains

I am not a fan of gambling everything on holding jungles. 

PS. Spy part of game is unfun for me... and not because they got more spies.

PPS. I'd prefer reverse-engineer phase instead of spies. Real world armed forces do this all the time. It is a very important part of any arms race.

Why dont we go for a boat to help in the jungle, harass their capital and hopefully carry some more ressources so we can get Ore AND il from the plains?

[Ukrainian Ranger]

I believe that it is spreading our efforts too thin... But logistics effect can be interesting

[Sheb]

The more I think of it, the best idea it seems.

[Aseaheru]

 We would only be able to get resources from the jungle with it, which we cant do until we own it. As for fucking with their capital, we cant do that by sea until we take the jungle.

 I was going to say that if we got the research credits than we could design one next year, but, well, they are expense credits. Which if we get both, I propose spending on one ore and one oil.

[10ebbor10]

Cost credits work on designs, not resources.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

Logistics are important but we  have worse armored vehicles, worse small arms and worse airforce. We are slightly better in artillery thanks to 20mm auto, mortar and numbers and that's all.   

If we go for radio\navy\some other fancy project we will lag behind even more and risk collapse of our front. Small arms\Tanks\Aircrafts\artillery is what we need. Landmines go against this formula because they are weapon of desperation.  I see no other semi-reliable way to hold plains and jungles.

My last hope is landmines and our aircraft, if we will fix it we may be ahead in airforce thanks to great firepower and renew our attack in plains.

[Sheb]

I think a revision can make our aircraft good enough to hold the airgame.

A boat would let us carry stuff from the plains, and we can raid their capital from the plains as well.

[10ebbor10]

Do the plains have a bay? The GM has been inconsistent on it.

[Sheb]

I sent him a PM, Ill keep you guys informed.

[Aseaheru]

 Wait, where do you get worse smallarms from? We have the same Shotguns and SMGs, a longrifle on par with theirs, and a carbine. They have a better GMG, but thats offset slightly by the fact that we are not advancing toomuch, and have that autocannon.

-3x ninja edit-

 Yah, we need to fix our fighter. As for a bay in the plains, well, Sensei hasent changed the OP to say there is, or the listing of general features of the continent.

[10ebbor10]

On a side note, how's this for plane revision.

Spoiler: AS-A19C (click to show/hide)

1) Revise controls to resolve errors
2) Reinforce the frame where needed
3) Replace the rotary engine with a Radial engine

Even number 1 and 2 should give us an advantage. A triplane has tighter turning radiuses than their biplanes. And our armament will remain dominant for some time, as I'm quite certain their stalion is too big and heavy to employ, and the recoil can be dangerous to them.

Clarification - slightly better small arms thanks to Burnby.
As I said I will vote for new light 7.62mm machinegun.

I'd mention that we are ready to raise cost to 2 oil and 2ore. Other than that it is a fine revision.

[Sheb]

So lets the voting start!

Spoiler: Proposals (click to show/hide)

AS-MV20: 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.

AS-LM20: The AS-LM20 is an anti-personnel landmine. It works by being buried in the ground and exploding when a certain amount of pressure is applied to it. A variant with more explosive is designed to take out vehicles.

AS-R20 : A backpack-sized two-way radio. It uses the basic technology of the captured Moksburg radio, and couple them with superior Arstotzkan engineering to make it smaller.

Arstotzka-class Gunboat: A relatively small, low-draft boat  useful along the shore or in rivers and swamps. Carry an AS-1912 Gun and a couple AS-AC1918 autocannon. When not busy shooting Moksburgian, it makes for a decent small cargo ship.
