Didn't even notice the update. We definitely need to help the Americas, and see if we can get the USA to join. Or at least kick the aliens out of Mexico. It's also clear now that we're not going to be able to destroy enough of their dropships to avoid a war on the ground. I suggest this for design:

Type 95 Armored Fighting Vehicle

A light tracked vehicle based on the chassis of the Type 90, equipped with a ceramic armor designed to absorb and dissipate large amounts of heat. A thin layer of conventional armor is included under the ceramic to protect from conventional small arms and shrapnel. Further protection is afforded by smoke cannisters seeded with micropulverized iron particles. The vehicle is equipped with a 25mm autocannon on an electrical traverse, and has a driver, gunner, and commander.

This vehicle looks incredibly low tech and lacks modern weapons. 25mm autocannon will do nothing against any possible enemy vehicle.

My variant.

Type 025 fighting vehicle

A light low profile tracked vehicle, equipped with a ceramic armor designed to absorb and dissipate large amounts of heat. A thin layer of conventional armor is included under the ceramic to protect from conventional small arms and shrapnel. Further protection is afforded by smoke cannisters seeded with micropulverized iron particles. The vehicle should be armed with a remote controlled advanced targeting computer assisted combat module that uses four 12.7mm heavy machineguns designed to use new ammunition and six guided fire and forget anti-tank missiles[/b]

We got new bullets we need weapon to use it. Anti-tank missiles are here for additional punch should it encounter armored targets

Alright, I like this better.

We should license production of it, or whatever we end up designing, to the American militaries (north and south, though the USA might not want it) to get more of them out there, if there's support for that kind of thing.

[TheLordofHouseRiley]

With the type 025 when you say anti tank missiles do you mean a ATGM or a straight fire missile system (don't really know how to describe it right or the proper name for it really) The point is does the missile system fire like a javelin or like a smaw because if it fires like a smaw i think that'll be a waste since more then likely do to the advanced propulsion available to the aliens there craft will be highly maneuverable so i doubt we would get many hits.

[TopHat]

Fire-and-forget implies guided to me.
+1 to the Type 025

[Ukrainian Ranger]

I edited fire and forget in for clarification after the question was asked.

[TheLordofHouseRiley]

In that case
+1 for the Type 025

Type 025 Fighting Vehicle

A light, low profile tracked vehicle, armored with a strong and durable ceramic armor, which is primarly intended to resists laser weaponry, though it can also reasonably stand up to other forces. It is armed with 4 12.7 mm Heavy machine guns, though adaptions made to improve the systems durability when using high power ammunition have resulted in a markedly lower ammunition and fire rate. Weapon control is handled by a relatively advanced targeting computer. Batch size : 4

[Ukrainian Ranger]

Oh... we got no missiles for the design. It should be relatively useful against their infantry and slightly useful against drones, but should they field anything heavier - we are screwed.

We can try to add missiles or something. But the cost is high already and we need more of them. Lets hope our jets are good enough to handle whatever land vehicle they will design.

Revise Type-25 to be easier to produce without reducing its effectiveness. Target cost is batch size 6

[Ukrainian Ranger]

Spoiler: strategy ideas (click to show/hide)

Our total forces:

36 J-31
22 HQ-9, 12 of them are HX-1
Type 095 "001" Nuclear Submarine
+ I suggest Production: 4 lines to produce Type 025 fighting vehicle

I propose total redistribution assuming batch 4 cost for the type 025

Expeditionary force (Zhou)
[10/20] J-31
[6/20] HQ9\HX-1
[10/20] Type 025 fighting vehicle 
Role: Counter-attacking enemy in close cooperation with local armies using Zhou diplomatic talents. It is Zhou's decision were he wants to counter-attack. This turn it means either South America or Mexico or some new enemy landing site.

East Eurasia garrison (Deng)
[10/20] J-31
[6/20] HQ-9\HX-1
[6/20] Type 025 fighting vehicle
Role: Defend China and nearby allies

Reserve Air Defence (Deng)
[6/20] J-31
[10/20] HQ-9
Role: Providing basic worldwide AA-defence. It is an attempt to benefit from
Deng's talent to use limited resources.

Reaction Air Force (Lin) -
[10/20] J-31
Role: Lin is free to choose his own goals

Idle general (Mao)

[TheLordofHouseRiley]

Im gonna vote for revising the highpowered ammunition to be more efficient and less damaging to the weapons that fire them. As well as just an increased dependability.

[Hiddenleafguy]

I agree with the above plan, WE NEED GOOD INFANTRY PEOPLE!!

[Ukrainian Ranger]

We do need good infantry but ammunition alone will not give it to us. I highly doubt that we can make bullets much better. I find this kind of revision absolutely useless because you chemical weapons reached its cap.

If you want to get better bullets... Well we can try to go ambitious and

Develop rocket-assisted 12.7mm bullets. but I still don't think that it is very useful and still vote to make type 025 cheaper We will use it for some time and base future vehicles on it. It Being cheaper will give us great long term benefit while bullets will become obsolete when our infantry will switch from using ballistic personal weapons.
