According to wikipedia it was only developed in the late 30s/early 40s. If you've got a reference I'll go for it though.

Here you go. The Kerrison predictor was the system that jumped to mind, but similar things existed before that. Relevant section is:

In 1925 the British adopted a new instrument developed by Vickers. It was a mechanical analogue computer Predictor AA No 1. Given the target height its operators tracked the target and the predictor produced bearing, quadrant elevation and fuse setting. These were passed electrically to the guns where they were displayed on repeater dials to the layers who 'matched pointers' (target data and the gun's actual data) to lay the guns. This system of repeater electrical dials built on the arrangements introduced by British coast artillery in the 1880s, and coast artillery was the background of many AA officers.

Setting the fuse timer is the most important thing, but all of that is absolutely vital for AA systems of this period.

Alright then. As the Bumblebee and the Vendetta are basically identical (other than predictor), I change my vote to the Bumblebee.

Changing mine to the bumblebee as well.

Um... when did we get 8/10 nuclear research?

[Kashyyk]

I'm pretty sure that's either Sensei making a joke, or him legitimately giving us a way to "go out with a bang".

Added my vote to the BumbleBee. Hopefully this will be enough to give us some room against aircraft, especially the bombers.

[Elfeater]

Ill throw mine on the bumble bee.

Given our need to shove as much into one design as possible we vote for the Bumblebee. At worst it can still be used without the computer.

I may have missed it passing or something, but I am opposing the currently-proposed treaty. It adds nothing to the game.

Or am I supposed to post that in the OOC thread?

Depends, are you talking about OUR proposal for the treaty or the treaty as a whole?

I suppose that would go in the OOC thread.

Either way, it seems to have been effectively filibustered into oblivion at this point.

Adding my vote for the Bumblebee, and hoping to use our revision to get a pump action shotgun this turn.

[Kashyyk]

I'd quite like a magazine fed semi-auto shotgun, but that's probably pushing it for a revision.
