Yes, we have no flawed design demanding immediate attention and can be creative\risky

[10ebbor10]

List of ideas

Spaced Armor to reduce Rhino effectiveness
Mount artillery on trucks for mobile artillery
Actually develop a functional sidearm
New Rounds : Hollow point, tracer
Upgrade our autocannon to include an autofuse setter (a simple mechanical system that cuts the fuze at a certain length.) Thus allowing the use of our high explosive fragmentation flak rounds.

Have we made so much progress that we don't have anything obvious to fix?

Their spy is dead. No more constant sabotage.

New Rounds : Hollow point, tracer

Add tungsten tip ammo as second\third priority and I vote for it if there are no support for the fighter. I really want to win skies...

[andrea]

hm. basically, creating an heavy fighter model of our dive bomber? that is not a bad idea. The base design is surely flexible and capable enough.

the engine optimization also has the possibility of improving our tech. Who knows? maybe we can get better engines on everything ( this is the part likely to turn out complex. But we can fix that with a revision after our manufacturing industry improves).

by the way... would we be able, with a revision, to turn mild steel armor into RHA armor? ( was that the name?) not proposing it now, just wondering.

[10ebbor10]

Probably. There's nothing that needs to be RHA armored though.

Revise a Potato into a Nuke


It might just work!

[10ebbor10]

I spend 5 seconds contemplating trying to figure out what the critical mass of such a weapon might be, then realized I already knew. It's 1.6 solar masses.

[Sheb]

Wait, what?

Revise a Potato into a Nuke


It might just work!

AS-P24: A 5mm potato gun, operated by a compressed air cylinder which soldiers pump for about 10 seconds to charge. Potato rounds are created by sticking the cookie cutter-like barrel into a potato and removing it. This means that soldiers have infinite ammo wherever potatoes can be found. Fits into a pistol form factor, with the pistol grip on the air cylinder itself and a pump in place of a slide, with a long narrow barrel protruding out of the frame. Manufactured from Aluminium, why not. Very portable but suffers from a shortage of range, accuracy and stopping power.

[10ebbor10]

Wait, what?

Any biological lifeform, being primarly water based, is mostly oxygen and carbon by mass. Hence, get enough of it in one place and you get a type 1a Supernova. The limit varies a bit, but apperently it's 1.39 solar masses.

Primary vote: Revise Nosin Magant to be (more) accurate at long range. Includes aluminium and costs 2 Ore at most. Name the new design the AS-MR24. The printing on the gun will come by default with its new name.
Secondary vote: Revise our SMG to be cheap, allow a belt feed, and decrease its overheating problem. Priority goes from first-highest to last-lowest.
Tertiary vote: Revise our DB engine to use less Oil.

Glory to Arstotzka.

[tryrar]

I vote for a the heavy fighter revision. That's slightly less dive bombers going in as fighter cover and more going in as actual bombers.

[Andres]

Hey Sensei, you weighed our new machine gun in pounds rather than kilograms. Please change it to metric.

[Aseaheru]

I vote for heavy fighter.
