+1 on airplane revision

[Andres]

I really, really hope landmines are enough to stop Moskurg. If they make cheap SMGs I reckon they'll be able to take the Jungles unless we develop some, even if we do deploy landmines. 1) Revise SMG to be cheap. 2) Revise A19 to be reliable. Use up to 3 Ore if necessary.

Glory to Arstotzka.

[andrea]

pick one, we can't revise both . I supose you are voting to revise the SMG?

[Andres]

My primary vote is SMG and my secondary vote is plane. If the SMG doesn't get enough votes to win, my vote goes to plane.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

Andres, I am rather sure that Moksburg didn't  consider making SMG cheap because they have no small arms fan like you in their ranks

BTW, do you really prefer to leave us without an aircraft for one more turn in exchange for MOAR SMGs?

[QuakeIV]

As far as I have found, the AS-T20 does not exist.

Uhh yes, I meant the MV20 my bad.

[Sensei]

You engineer scramble to salvage the disappointing AS-19B design.

AS-A19C: Several staff members were fired and replaced. The new C model of the AS-A19 makes up for its heavy frame with sturdy, lightweight aluminum brackets, and some metal parts are replaced with aluminum. This and larger control surfaces make the plane much more steady, and not prone to suddenly pulling in one direction or the other, without being heavier. For good measure, a cross is added to every joystick to exorcise malevolent spirits. Control surface trim is added as well, which corrects for the effect of the rotary engine and makes the plane easier to fly in general. The aircraft remains heavy and a bit ungainly, but is much more safe to fly and should perform better in dogfights. Now costs 2 ore, 2 oil.

You have established an aluminum industry. Craft can be reinforced with aluminum (+1 ore) or be built mostly from it (+2). Aluminum engine blocks costs +1 ore or are free in aluminum craft.

Your general knowledge of airplane design has improved considerably compared to when the first AS-A19 was built and tested. The craft is no longer Complex.

[andrea]

not complex anymore! at least we regained numerical parity. also, it seems we got some decent rolls, with this aluminum industry.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

"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 "

Repeat it here in production phase.
offer T-15 to Russians

Also offer AS-MC16  to mysterious group

Some ideas for next turn because I may have no internet for two days

Designs

Spoiler: AS-LMG-21 (click to show/hide)

Create a light, man portable, 7.62 mm machine gun. Use all our experience and if possible reserve-engineer captured Brumby to steal some tricks, but not copy their design.

Goal: Start pushing in mountains, get lighter machinegun to supplement 20mm in airforce

Spoiler: AS-AAAT-21-80 (click to show/hide)

80mm universal high velocity AA\AT gun that can engage both tanks  and aircrafts using AP and flak shells. Optimize it to being towed by the truck

Goal = yet another defensive weapon to hold plains

Spoiler: A22 (click to show/hide)

Full aluminium, two engine bomber byplane with closed cockpit. Built for long range and high service ceiling. 

To use Expense for (should we win) and bomb their resources out of them

[Aseaheru]

And, beating the rush to submit near identical vehicular designs, the

Spoiler: AS-LAC1/20-21 (Which is 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(hopefully) 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 5mm in all directions except the front, which carries an extra 2.5mm. However, this armor is sloped at a rather extreme angle. The entire vehicle is propelled by a single engine of the sort used in our logistics trucks(modified to produce less smoke) which drives a pair of wheels on each side, all designed to continue working after the wheel goes flat, and utilizing our hydro-pneumatic suspension system.
 There are to be no rivets.

Incorrect. We were at numerical parity when our airplanes came out, both designs being Expensive for each side. What we just did is gain a numerical advantage since the design isn't complex and we have the resources to pay for it.

Reinforce with aluminium. This should make them more resistant to machine gun fire. This might be necessary if they're upgrading their plane's weaponry.

Offer T15 to red army. Offer landmines, the 1909, and the DB shotgun to the unknown party.

Glory to Arstotzka.

EDIT: Add tow hitches to Artillery A's/HV19's.

Also, start mixing powdered aluminum in our explosives, if we can.

[Andres]

Maybe Arstotzka should call it aluminium while Moskurg calls it aluminum?

Element 13?
