I vote for

Spoiler: HX-1 (click to show/hide)

Large SAM-SSM with the largest HEAT warhead in history. Has  advanced radar guidance and backup infraded guidance. Has special targeting mode where it goes high into atmosphere and then descends towards its target trying to hit flying object from above but can use  direct trajectory if it is preferred. While it is created to hit large flying objects, it can target land target too.
Designed to be used from vertical launch system of the submarine or from land launcher be it HQ-9 or new vehicle

I am not sure about going high because enemy can develop countermeasures and snipe such missiles from orbit. This is why I want it to be optional. I think it is too advanced for revision.

Name should be more communist.

HX-1, for Red Star.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

Edited to HX-1. Any other amendments?

[Hiddenleafguy]

Hey, maybe we could take some of their natural armor, (he said that they had a few that got injured, and I am assuming that one or two died.) and attempt to figure out how to make it syntheticlly, then make armor out of it.

[Baffler]

+1, I'm happy with it.

I think we have a separate research phase for things like that.

[Hiddenleafguy]

I know, but I was saying that so that we do not make abrasive armor, as it would immediately be obsolete, as we would have better items.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

Ablative armor is not for this phase. And I suggest to introduce new spoiler to not clutter the topic and not confuse GM

Spoiler: long term strategy (click to show/hide)

Ablative armor will not get obsolete because it can serve as last layer of defence should we use more advanced anti-laser stuff in the future.  We have other uses of research phase but laser protection is one of obvious steps

HX-1 missile: UR, Baffler

[evilcherry]

Also happy with the HX-1.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

Remember, GM asked to bold votes

[stabbymcstabstab]

HX-1 all the way.

HX-1

The HX-1 missile is a two stage solid-liquid propelled ground to Air missile, equipped with a large HEAT warhead. The significant weight of the warhead necessitated the utilization of the more powerful liquid fuel combination, but this has caused several problems. The hypergolic fuel is not only highly toxic, it is also quite corrosive. To make matters worse, the fuel will freeze at slightly above freezing point, while the oxider will boil off at anything higher than room temperature. Can be fired by our submarine and current HQ-9 launchers.
Cost: Lowers batch size by 1

Note: That means that HQ-9 batteries with this missile available will be build at 2 per year, not 3. The sub, being an unique unit already, can equip it for free.

[evilcherry]

fix and lower cost of HX-1.

[Happerry]

fix and lower cost of HX-1.

+1.

[stabbymcstabstab]

fix and lower cost of HX-1.

with out a doubt, a weapon with can barely function outside of room temp. isn't a weapon.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

Improve propellant and oxider , don't focus on reducing the cost but try to not increase. Try to get Russian\American help if possible
