Heheheh. That ought to give their bloody motorcycles pause.

Alright, now for what we're sending off:

C. China: Nothing. If anything, we send supplies to the nationalists to ensure they are unable to send anything beyond the nationalist lines, and to ensure the nationalists tighten theirs around the communists.

N.China: The Sorraia. It's cheap, it's effective and Arstotzka has no comparable weapon for it

United Kingdom: The Sorraia, or the T2 Breaker (With shaped charge shells.) Also send a couple more tigers, this time just telling the representatives we'll deliver the tigers separately so they don't have to worry about the cage unlocking near them again.

I don't like the idea of giving Arstotzka the reward from C. China. What're your reasons for not doing so?

Why not mount them on Tigers for now?

tigers are very much not combat-oriented vehicles, if they're on the front lines firing as the hippo would something has gone terribly wrong

Right, but they would make a cheap alternative, like technical.

Inherently, political. If you want, we can also sell them the T1 Breaker as well.

And LSP, why not just make a car to fill the role their motorcycle does. We can then put both an MG AND a recoilless rifle on it. Lets see Arstotzka outdakka THAT.

still sounds like a bad idea, but if you think it'll work go for it

And LSP, why not just make a car to fill the role their motorcycle does. We can then put both an MG AND a recoilless rifle on it. Lets see Arstotzka outdakka THAT.

the idea is to be cheap to deploy and too fast to hit with their tanks/arty while dishing out tank-tier hits

the struunk is in need of a successor, yes, and we do have some upgraded engine tech we're not putting to use i don't think (the one we liberated with their tank?) so we could use that as an opportunity to outdo them with electronic turbo or something like that

I don't mean an armoured car, I mean a regular one. Like a jeep or something.

But yeah, sending out a better AC would indefinitely help. And we'd need to make our radios cheaper too.

The Jeep is what I would suggest instead of a tiger, to pop up fire, and then be hind a sand dune before they can respond, we know these deserts better than they do.
the Tiger would be a stop gap until we get one.

Give Hippo to communists
Give Breaker to Brits
Give nothing to nationalists
We need that ore. I prefer to give nothing to Nat China because I want to be friendly with Japan or get ahhistorical strong communist ally.


As for the next design - armored car with a new, high caliber recoilless gun as main arnanment looks sexy. 2 ore 2 oil non-complex can work great for keeping desert in our hands

Yeah, we're going towards the allies for this. That's why we're opposing the communists.

the usa won't matter until 1941, besides arstotzkans aren't really better in that regard

what we want to do is to get our hands on the ships' worth of patents that will be shipped off to the us in the 40s, as that rather obviously will give us a big boost in most areas

maybe even send a division-sized expeditionary to fight in the european theatre? see if we can get some fancy war loot
