I don't think we should spend the expense credit just yet. Our designs are mostly where we want them to be. and I am not sure more tanks would help in the town.

[Funk]

Yes we do need a fighter, with rocket pods to counter enemy armour.

I posted a simple emergency boost system and 10ebbor10 came up with a high attitude interceptor.

Spoiler: AS-1932-HAI (click to show/hide)

A high performance High Altitude interceptor. Utilizes a supercharged, fuel injected V12 engine, with a AS-AC18 firing through the propshaft, which is kept light due to being reinforced with High quality Steel. (Molebdynum steel?) Enclosed cockpit, retractable landing gear, scope. An additional armament of 4 AS-1924's is present in the wings.

As an added bonus, introduce combat flaps and a War Emergency Power system

I reckon we should go for a shorter and more compact H engine.

If we use a pusher prop then we can mount twin AS-AC18s above the engine and benefit from centre mounted guns.

Wing mounted rocket pods and machine guns should be carried as well.

Spoiler: War Emergency Power system (click to show/hide)

A simple system to increase the engine power of turbo charged engines at the cost of extreme wear.
When activated it locks the wastegate shut and starts injecting more air and fuel in to the exhaust manifold, forcing the turbo to make even more power.

 We could use getting a pistol...

[10ebbor10]

Well that is one unconventional idea.

Spoiler: AS-1931-HAMB (click to show/hide)

A high altitude medium bomber. It utilizes a geodetic airframe, which consists of a tight web of aluminum beams covered with doped fabric. This structure is both light, easy on the amount of materials required, and high resistant to damage (and was pioneered on airships for this reason). Numerous frames can break before the plane looses structural integrity, and even a direct hit by a flak cannon need not be fatal. (Downside is that the complexity of the frame makes it harder to change the physical dimensions of the craft)

The plane is powered by 2 supercharged fuel injected engines. Giving it the range to bomb Moskurgian cities and the altitude required to bypass it's defenses.

Target is to be capable of carrying between 1 and 2 ton of bombs. Defenses are the placement of one 20 mm autocannon in the tail and nose of the aircraft.

Crew consists of 2 pilots, 1 navigator/radio operator,

I doubt that is a priority. Pretty much all our soldiers get an SMG as a sidearm.

A-32-IFV-heavy infantry fighting vehicle

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

A medium tracked vehicle designed to carry a squad of infantry in relative safety and provide close combat support.  Has medium RHA armor on all sides, sloped as much as possible from the front and is powered by a fuel injected, turbo engine with treads on hydro-pneumatic suspension.  Has a crew of two and can carry an additional 10 soldiers, with some carried infantry expected to be trained on and operate secondary weapons and assist with the main ones.

Primary weapon is a reduced 30mm version of the DT-25 gun on a 60 degree frontal arc with a  coaxial AS-AC18. Secondary weapons are an AS-1924 on a 360 degree pivot with armored protection for the operator on the top and two AS-RPG28, one on each side on a pivot which can be operated from inside the vehicle.

The report specifically said they are using it as a fallback weapon and it is bad.

But maybe just a redesign?  Like fix the jams every magazine issue or something.

[Sheb]

Goddamnit, we just placated Andres and its SMG fetish, and now Aseaheru has a pistol fetish.

I quite like it 10ebbor10. However, what's the goal? Disrupting their supplies, or support for our troops?

Once we have a high altitude bomber all we need to develop are more accurate bombs and...

Heres a fancy all new machine pistol

Spoiler: AS PA31 (click to show/hide)

A large powerfull machine pistol.
It has a long 200mm barrel, and detachable magazine holding 20 rounds is mounted forwards of the grip in the style of a Mauser C96.
Capable of both fully automatic fire and single shots it uses a closed-bolt blowback system and a hydro-pneumatic spring to lesson the recoil.
A large amount of the gun is made from Aluminium parts to save weight.
Comes in 9x19mm.

Can we maybe make a semi automatic pistol with the same stopping power?  As it is that is a very large pistol.

[Kot]

No point in making a new fighter when we could revise the old one to be better than theirs.

Three radials please. Also no point in nose autocannon, slap that in back if anything.

[andrea]

Voidslayer, that seems an huge tank with a big crew.

 That bomber design looks good, but we likely need a ventral cannon more than a nose one.

[VoidSlayer]

Okay what about a piloted missile?  No kittens this time, use a full grown Arstotzkan looking for glory!  We could even have some kind of parachute to let them escape!

Glory to Arstotzka!

Yes. 

Alternatively we could forgot the ant tank gun and use an autocannon, machine gun and firing ports.  That might get the weight/size.

It is meant to assist infantry combat in the jungles and cities as well as provide armored cover while transporting small numbers of troops.

It would be the most heavily armored IFV in the world! ha ha ah.  Is that a good thing?

Glory to Arstotzka!

[Aseaheru]

Goddamnit, we just placated Andres and its SMG fetish, and now Aseaheru has a pistol fetish.

I resent that. All I did was point out that we may want a pistol which is not the worst piece of crap in the universe.

Also, Void, that is... excessive. Lets go with excessive.
