Lets just wait until Someone else comes to vote, or we could start voting now, If we do, i would get a list of all the proposals for us.

Should we discuss what to do for rest of phases aswell?

Sure, I was thinking wait to see what happens with the cannon for the design phase

[Graknorke]

I think we should cut out any intention of them firing inert cannonballs, since it's going to be much easier to have a weapon that fires projectiles of a similar mass using similar charges. Shells are lighter and also have to be fired with less propellant due to the relative fragility of them.

So do you guys want to start voting, If so I will get a list

Well the cannons are designed to fire varity of different types since 12 pounders were good at that.

[Graknorke]

I was just thinking that if we limit it to lower force firing, there would be less need for reinforcing the structure and so less metal used. It's still probably going to end up at least as bad as the current cannons though so maybe it's not worth it.
And is there really a need for a vote? The two designs are near-identical, barring that the AM-R has a much smaller bore. Unrealistically small, actually.

Also since American revolution ends in 1783, we might have problems if British come back to the island since French Revolution wont start till 1789 which would keep them busy so if they do come we have 6 years of having to fight them then.

Spoiler: AM-R 1781 Howitzer (click to show/hide)

This is a Howitzer designed to be able to be pulled by a horse. It fires 12 lb Explosive balls (filled with gunpowder) and can fire shrapnel shells as well
Its barrel is around 76 inches long and the barrel is around 80 mm wide
It is set on a carriage and has wheels and a hitch in order to be pulled by horse

I changed the bore size
Is that more realistic?

I feel this might go NE.

Would it be better to design a carronade or even a Coehorn mortar instead?

They might be but, they will get cheaper next turn and we can use production and revison to cheapen them as well.

Carronades are pretty short range, because they where designed for ship combat, and designed for damage

[flazeo25]

So shall we all vote on designs now?

[Snake1229]

Sure

[flazeo25]

Sure

Any thoughts on getting russian naval mine in 1783, since its a early verison of depth charge and if British show up were gonna be dealing with lots of boats?

Meh, We could try
