I guess we could ask for a machine gun, to give us more fully automatic firepower (a bit more accurately then our current weapons.) Lets go for the Degtyaryov machine gun, 7.62×54mmR, 60 round pan magazine. A bit outdated, but was used in the Korean war, the are that we are in .

Borduria turn 1951

With the aid for some technical documents from Moscow work on a new unbeatable weapon commences

After months of hard work it finally ready,  and the first Avenger takes flight.

Spoiler: Avenger (click to show/hide)

The Avenger is Borduria's first jet aircraft.
powered by a new but temperamental jet is capable of briefly pushing the plane in to transonic speeds.
It's armament is simply copied over from the P-51 Mustang with only the inboard machine being retained.
Like wise it's bomb load is reduced to just a pair of 45 kg (100 lb) bombs.

The train from Moscow arrives bring a wealth of small arms, mosty Degtyaryov machine guns.


Battle on the main thread(when it's done)

Spoiler: Bordurian Designs as of 1951 (click to show/hide)

Pistols
--------------
-Walther PPK: a small german made semi-automatic pistol, chambered in .32 ACP.
Small, compact the gun that kill Hitler but weak and inaccurate.

Rifles
--------------
-Mosin-Nagant: A Russian made rifle, A bolt-action rifle with a five-round clip which fires 7.62x54mm rounds. Good accuracy, but a dated design.

-Model 1 A.B.R.: Our own production, a modern automatic rifle, uses 25 round box magazines and fires 7.62x54mm rounds a rate of 900 per mintute.

Grenades
--------------
-RPG-6: A Russian made Anti-Tank Grenade, powerfull but need troops to get close to throw it.

Machingeguns
--------------
-Bren light machine gun: A english made light machine gun, uses 30 round box magazines and fires .303 British.
The limited magazine reduces it fire power.

-Degtyaryov machine guns: A  Russian made made light machine gun  uses 60-round pan magazines and fires 7.62x54mm rounds.

Tanks
--------------
-T-34 tank, a Russian made tank with a 76mm gun and 18-75mm of armour.

Planes
--------------
-P-51 Mustang: a American made  fighter-bomber, capable of speeds of over 400mph and armed with 6 .50cal machine-guns.

- Avenger: Our own production, a modern jet air craft,  capable of speeds of over 650mph, armed with 4 .50cal machine-guns and 2x 45 kg (100 lb) bombs.

Alright. Looks like we put the jets out at a perfect time, air superiority is ours (more or less ). We are very, very slightly winning.

Lets ask for nukes.

[Doubloon-Seven]

I suggest that we request the Soviets for a flamethrower, specifically the ROKS-3.

[Stirk]

Kinda outdated and doesn't really serve a purpose in our tactical situation. If we were going with a flamethrower, the LPO-50 would be a better choice (it being the replacement for the ROKS).

I'm mostly waiting for someone else to come up with an idea so I don't hog them all .

[Doubloon-Seven]

Well, I'm kinda torn between landmines or some sort of Self-Propelled Artillery piece. I'm open to ideas.

[Funk]

The good news for you is that you can now request weapons from World War II Germany, Italy and Japan arsenals.
There the spoils of war and some item will not be available.
Including but not limited to:
Anything built in less than a hundred.
Prototypes and anything that work was abandoned on
Anything it would be politically dangerous for your sponsor to give you.

Its all pretty out of date by 1951 though .

Land mine sounds fun, they already have arty and trying to match them blow for blow probably won't end well for us. Anti-tank/infantry/air?

[Doubloon-Seven]

Wait. Even prototypes? GERMAN world war two prototypes? Can anybody say... MAUS?
Also, in more seriousness, a heavy bomber like the Tupolev Tu-85?
Or, if we're going REALLY ridiculous, how bout one of those Schwerer Gustav railway artillery?

No, prototypes were listed as things we specifically don't get. Along with the Gustav gun and other rare things.

Ah, misread it.

I don't think there are any oceans on the battlefield . Anyway, adding to what I said before, this is still a weapons design game rather then a weapon procurement game. We can't just take a Maus or a Gustav gun, but we can design our own. The heavy tank is on its way out though, and railroad rifles have their own problems :-/.

A MBT might be nice, actually:

Katyusha-1 (K-1 for short) Main Battle Tank: A first-generation MBT based off of the T-54 soviet tank. Its armor should be enough to withstand fire from both enemy tanks and the Carl Gustaf recoil-less rifle to the front and sides. Hull front 120, turret front 205, 80 mm on the sides, 130mm turret sides, 30 mm on the roof and 20 mm on the bottom. 100mm tank gun based off of the D-10, should be capable of taking down enemy tanks with AP ammunition and infantry with HE. Coaxial .50 borrowed from our planes. Speed goal 48 km/h.

[Doubloon-Seven]

As it is, the previously mentioned Tupolev is looking pretty good for something to ask for. As for designs...

Spoiler: Manta Ray HMG (click to show/hide)

 This HMG, named for it's distinctive, wide and low tripod, is a heavy machine gun, intended for use on lightly armored vehicles as well as infantry, and as a conversely vehicle mounted gun. It has exchangeable barrels, with a barrel shroud for ease of replacement. It fires 12.7x108mm rounds, fed by a belt.

Meh. If we wait a year we can get the very superior Tu-95 instead. The HMG looks fine if we don't want to go with the tank, we could outfit our planes and other vehicles with it. If we can get some extra range out of it it might help out with our air battles.

*EDIT*

We could always just ask for the T-54 I was cloning anyway .
