That also means we don't need any special revision to make an AT gun for the SP-AT. So I propose the same SP-AT design, but using the existing 3.6 inch howitzer for an AT gun.

That way it's cheaper. The open top has to count for something, too, since we're saving metal. It can't cost any more than an armored car when it comes to ore. We don't need to make a new engine for it either, since it doesn't have to be fast, it just has to move. This way, the only new thing we're making is the drive and the chassis.

I will move to supporting this design.

There's one issue, and that's the weight and size of the gun. We're probably going to want to start with something smaller before going onto Self-propelled guns.

[Parsely]

I thought you didn't want me to make a new gun...

[Taricus]

No, I don't you making a one-trick pony to start off.

This SP-AT can do everything the grenade can do, but better. It blows up tanks, it blows up emplacements, it blows up fortifications, it breaks infantry formations with HE, and it does it all from further away and without getting our own infantry killed.

[Taricus]

But can't go with the infantry everywhere.

[Powder Miner]

It only needs to go on the plains.

[Taricus]

Yet we need weapons for our units on all fronts.

[Parsely]

I don't see why it can't fight in the mountains and the jungle. Treads are an all-terrain mode of locomotion.

[Powder Miner]

We're not losing in the jungles or mountains, we're losing on the plains. AT grenades are not going to be as effective as the SPATs, because the SPATS can take the tanks out BEFORE they start rolling over the trenches.

^^This. The grenades aren't even purpose-built AT weapons.

Well, anyway, any ideas for the revision phase, or are we saving that up to fix any errors?

+1 to smoke rounds for arty.
