Their tanks went down an expense level. Anyway, Slat Armor might be a good Revision subject.

Though I think we're also overdue for a Revision of the Struunk I into a version of it that has armor that can actually, say, stop rifle bullets. And maybe switch out the Brumby for our newer, better, light machine gun. It might also be nice if it was able to tow our B2 Destroyers, but that might be asking for too much.

Bigger sniper rifle is a replacement of a turn one horsekiller.  Bigger sniper rifle will give more range to snipe tank destroyers and provide even more danger to their snipers in mountains. Sadly, it is useless in jungles but one can't get everything.

BTW, I suggest to include even more powerful optics in the design, because this thing will have a solid range and why not develop the technology?

Unless we try to improve our Recoilless rifle (which, I insist, needs a whole redesign to be effective), our best bet is to snipe them with better efficiency. We also need something useful in longer ranges, so a big sniper gun fits the bill.

I insist the revision goes to Camo because our officers are dying.

We can steal their RPG later.

I actually like a new recoilless rifle more because if it is good, we can teleport some to Chinese mountains and get ore teleported back.

Not that the sniper rifle will fail to make an impact

Ehh. I'm fine with you being here UR, I just don't wanna set a precedent.

Anyway, we have them reeling now. When they were expecting to win on at least two fronts,  we've instead stalled then across the board. It's a damn certainty that they'll try to counter either our optics or our encryption. Probably both.

So, in my opinion we should spend one of our actions to stay ahead in one of those areas, whilst we improve ourselves in another.

Edited, now I've read what you guys have been doing.

As such, I propose the following:

Crocodile Gun Boat
Think the size of a tank, but a boat. Small, armoured and with a specialist naval version of our tank gun designed for excessive range.  This will allow us to raid their logistics boats, give us experience in naval design and be a reasonable floating bombardment tool on the desert and be small enough to enter the jungle where tanks cannot.

Gun accessory Kit
An accessory rail designed to be fitted on all future small arms and all current ones,  it allows a soldier to fit accessories to their weapon in the field. Comes with a rail mounted version of our scope and a laser dot sight. If we can also get underslung grenade launchers and shotguns that would be awesome, but that may be asking too much.

infantry assault armour
Designed specifically for our stormtroopers, this consists of a fitted breastplate of RHS and a helmet of the same with a faceplate. This is inspired by the Australian bandit Ned Kelly, who made a bulletproof suit in the 1880s. With our military know-how we should be able to make a modern suit of comparative effectiveness, and having no backplate will reduce the weight. As such we should reasonably be able to make armour that is resistant to small arms fire from the front and not too encumbering for our troopers. I'm willing to make this complex, as it'll only be for stormtroopers anyway.

New recoilless gun is another possibility. I'm, sincerely, torn between.

Vote tallies appreciated, y'all.

Also, UR's betrayal was specifically pre-approved by me in private messages. Fun fact: Someone (I won't say who) actually asked me if UR was a Moskurg traitor, because they thought UR's weapon designs were so bad as to be active sabotage. Don't worry, I disagree with that notion, I think you're in good hands with him on your team.

I think we're just getting to the end of the "suggest designs phase", we'll get to actually voting soon.

He did mention that, but he also sent as all a PM asking if we were ok with him joining us :)

fucking wrecked

alright guys, here's a thought: considering our service rifle, the one from at least a decade ago, is stupidly effective right now, we should go full into that making a new, better service rifle with rails to place the scope on and shit?

because the arstotzkans are likely producing something that'll make our rifle less useful, so might as well fix that preemptively?

In my opinion, they'll probably be focusing on encrypting their radios and decrypting ours.

In what way do you think they'll try to counter our rifles? In my opinion it'd be better to design a counter-counter measure than just beefing up the thing they are trying to counter.

A size of tank is too small for being even marginally seaworthy. ~10-20 meters long wooden vessel(to reduce ore cost) is more practical. Also, if we go this route, I prefer using an existing tank turret on it and focus on making other parts of ship because we have zero naval experience.

So far I vote for a new powerful 0.6 sniper rifle, with even better scopes than we have already. unless I'll see a good design of a boat or Recoilless rifle

Also, I suggest to give our tank to British. It should benefit them more than machinegun. I think our tank is better than this - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vickers_Medium_Mark_II

trying to impress the british is a great idea, if we can somehow enter cooperation with them during the second world war i foresee that we'll benefit tremendously
