Self Propelled Anti-tank it is!  And yeah, next year we really should start on basic airplane design - OR ships!  We need to rule the skies or the sea, and soon.

Also some proposals for future design phases:

Markozni Wireless Radio: It weighs about as much as a full tank of petrol, is patchy and has limited range, but it's a radio transmitter/receiver in a box.  Communication is as important in the field as armament, and right now everything is being done by horse couriers.  Radio will allow our troops to co-ordinate on a much wider level than before, resulting in new strategic and tactical avenues.


MC1 Nimble: A stripped down motorcycle, with simple, easy to break and easier to replace parts, redundantly designed to be ridiculously easy to fix in the field.  The Nimble has no armour or guns - it is engineered for top speed, manoeuvrability and simplicity.  The Nimble exists not to press an advance but to reinforce communications and infrastructure.


R1 Shrike: A surface-to-surface rocket.  It can go from A to somewhere in the broad vicinity of B, launched from a stable platform.  This is the first shot at long range rocket operations, and will be terrible - but if it works, it's the first in the field and that's always worth something.  Inaccuracy adjusted for by launching a ton of them instead.

I still think we should make a smaller cannon for it, but with higher velocity, something around 3 inch gun maybe 3.5. I dont think this tank also has any sort of sloped armour, so an AT gun of 3 or 3.5 would wreck them, and allow us to use it on medium tanks in the future.

[Playergamer]

I like all of your ideas, Iituem. I have an additional proposal for a few years from now.

R-1 Hawk: A simple, wood-and-canvas biplane for reconnaissance. Armed with two forward-facing Brumby LMGs, and seats two. The pilot sits in front, while the observer sits behind him. The observer can navigate, use binoculars to make observations, and radio back to Command with a Markonzi.

A portable radio would be revolutionary for coordinating assaults and communication between infantry and tanks. Our artillery would also become more timely and accurate.

Their steam tank does have sloped armor. Sensei mentioned it.

Say, fellas, should we put in our Brumby design for that oil from Antegria? If we get it, then those Arstotkans can't use it to make their tanks cheaper. The shortage is probably hurting them right now, and if we hang on to all our current territory then our armor will start to outnumber theirs. If it makes the Allies mad then we can always offer some of our more clever designs as a peace offering. I'm sure they'd love to get their hands on a wireless radio.

[Playergamer]

Yeah, I think we should offer our design. Our MG is definitely better then theirs, so, assuming no foul play, we should win. Also...

Spoiler: Seriously don't open this if you're form Arstotzka (click to show/hide)

I voted to sabotage the demo MGs they're showing off. You guys should probably vote for that to.

[Parsely]

Offer the Brumby to Antegria in return for the oil deal.

+1.

[Parsely]

I don't think we need to sabotage their MG to win. The Brumby is the best machine gun in the world. We should do something else. Like sabotage their current design phase project.

[Elfeater]

Still, I am not convinced we should have such a large cannon on our first SP-AT

I sent that message before we decided to show them our MG, since I didn't know if we wanted to get involved, but I knew we didn't want them to get the contract. I'll change my vote to sabotage their project.

[Sensei]

Alright, so it's a SP-AT you want? Using the howitzer you already have?

Well I wanted a 4 inch gun, which is .4 larger than the Bombardier. It seems everyone agrees with me except Elfeater.

DO NOT DO THIS. We ned to stay on the side of the allies.

As for the self-propelled artillery, we don't need it, the grenades are more useful at this stage on multiple fronts.

With taricus on both fronts.

[Powder Miner]

I will join the glorious Moskurg train!
And to start off I'm voting for the SPAT, with GUNIN's specifications.
