well, i do genuinely believe the fiberglass is worth it

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to trash you or your design but like, I heavily doubt it's going to win. Everyone is so focused on the Mosquito and the YellowJacket.

Unlike Rockets or Shaped charges, which a sufficiently wretched mind can come upon on, fibreglass is too novel a concept and I'm pretty certain its expensive.

Hell if fibreglass is good why won't jump onto thermoplastics?

thermoplastics would get us a partial

partials are worthless, see: flamethrower tech

Do you know that Fiberglass comes two years later in history than the first mass production of thermoplastics? We can also settle on Thermosets (i.e. Bakelite)

Also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polybutadiene#History
Synthetic rubber was developed in 1926.

plastics will cost additional oil

War must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour all; but I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.

That too, and considering we haven't got much of that...

So why are planes so important? Can't we just send stealthy infantry troops to surround and confuse our foes, difficult to spot from the air?

FoU has some twisted role ideas. Screw second-guessing this mechanical garbage spaghetti, I'm basing everything on reads and visible daytime behaviour.

Cus' Arstotzka has a huge air superiority advantage and that's really fucking us over.

We don't control the troops, just what equipment they get.

Do you think that there can be camo effective enough to hide a tank from the air?
