While I can get behind an airplane revision, "suck" is a big word. It actually seems to work rather well, the main problem being landing gear.

They don't have nukes. And even if they do, they don't have heavy bombers.
It's in their resources. They nearly have nukes. When the GM was asked about it, he refused to answer. Denial will not prevent them from getting nuclear weapons.

Glory to Arstotzka.

They didn't spend a design, revision or spy action on it.

Yup, this means that if they did get it, the GM is bending rules in their favor, against we can't do anytging.

The discussion with devastator in ooc makes me want to spew toxic waste all over moskurg.

Set up a bright flare on his house's roof, we should be in range now.

Revise our plane with retractable landing gear. Afterwards, try and get a version that uses 2 Oil by (besides getting retractable landing gear) removing the hardpoints, the machine guns, and making the engine more efficient.

Landing gear I support. The rest is fantasy, as a high performance fighter is not likely to use less than 3 oil, and all this will do is cripple it's performance.

Revise paratrooper gear to allow main weapons, pilotable parachutes, grenades, and radios.


May as well be super ambitious.

Unfortunately, a revision won't get you parafoils.

AS-P32: Arstotzka's new parachute rigging. The parachute itself is large and round, and various straps, clips and buckles allow a soldier to carry a light primary weapon, such as the Nosin, AS-F14 or MC16, and their ammo and a grenade, or an AS-1924 but not much ammo. Alternatively, a paratrooper could also bring an AS-1911 mortar and a few rounds, but only their sidearm with it. Radios need to be dropped separately.

Ok, from reading the report, I think getting a not-shitty RPG is the way to go, either by Revision or by Design. We'll also want to do something with our scope, making it cheap and making it not suck (it's blurry right now). Aside from the range benefits it brings to infantry and vehicles, it'll also help snipers take out flamethrowers and play to our advantage of Patience.

The question is deciding which should go to Design and which should go to Revision. The RPG is more important since it's critical to taking the Mountains but the only problem it has is the projectile shape. The scope on the other hand needs to be made cheaper and not sucky. If we put it through Design, we might also get variable zoom.

Glory to Arstotzka.

The RPG will be relatively ineffectiveve even if we fix it, due to the enemy Slat armor.

I think it might be time to get a new artillery system.

Getting new artillery won't help us in the Mountains and will be of limited effectiveness in the Jungle. An RPG is necessary if we want to continue pushing on our fronts and it'll give us something to match their RRs.

The problem is that both of these sound like revision things.
