I think people voted not for AS-LM20 but for this. Am I wrong?

How about this design action?

Develop  landmines. In order of priority: 1)Simple and cheap mine based on our mortar shell 2)More advanced anti-personnel shrapnel mine. 3) anti-tank mine 4)signal mine

oh and 5) Vietcong style mechanical traps

Well, its unclear, the AS-LM20 was the only formal landmine proposal. Yours is more detailed though, so I  think we can use its description for the AS-LM.

As for the other armored car, well, just add the design to the list!

Why? We arent designing one this year. From the looks of it we are doing the landmine, unless something like three people change their minds. Ill resubmit it next year.

Because almost every suggestion we got for them where nearly identical, differing slightly each time.

 For instance, The first, listed as a tank, had three crew, a AC18 with coax and pintle mounted 7.62, with between 20 and 25mm of armor. The second (written up at the same time as the first) had a crew of two, was armed with a 20mm cannon in an electronic turret, and had only a max of 15mm of sloped armor.
 Another one was a half-track armed with a 7.62mm MG and a crew of 3, with 30mm of armor in places. And then theres the first one put back down this turn.

We are losing the armor game because the current vehicles are not maneuverable.  A light armored car with a turret mounted machine gun would be cheap and a good support for any heavy tanks we make in the future.  After we make it we can build a better main battle tank and some heavy armored personnel carriers.

Vote for AS-MV20 armoured car


Fix handling and breakdown issues on airplane.

Edit: Yeah 20-25mm armor on a car n this era is ridiculous though.

 The armor game is currently at a stalemate, since while they have more maneuverable vehicles we can kill them with relative ease. However, we are loosing in one front, and need to atleast shore that up while providing ways of holding the ground we own in areas where we dont have guns up the wazoo.

 He speaks with a British accent "You must build a troop carrier.... One with one massive tread, that goes above and below the hull, circling vertically. It must have two turrets with auto-cannons jutting out from ether side. The troops will enter through the turrets, it will be run on the mythical oil! It will have 20mm of armor and it's primary attributes shall be speed, and dependableity. Glory to Arstoka!"

Add a few AS-AC18 machine guns to it!

That tread sounds like it would break easily. And not maneuverable in the slightest.

"Dear Russian friends. We are proud to offer you AS-T15. Unlike European designs it is meant to work in cold climate. Unlike European designs it doesn't use expensive and dangerous petroleum! All it need is coal. Coal that is abundant in mother Russia! Also, can work on wood only with slightly reduced effectiveness! It will keep your crew warm even during harshest winters! It is large and menacing both because of its size, black intimidating smoke AND loud noises! Your filthy enemies will run as soon as they spot this machine of death "

What if we designed flak vests/helmets.
They could be used not only for pilots, but for ground troops against flak shells.
They could come with parachutes for the air force, and gas masks for infantry.
It would also give us a second chance to attempt camouflage.

I vote for the AS-T20 armored car, and also support the plane revisions. 

This should fix our problems holding the plains and jungle.
