  I'm tempted to try tunneling straight to their capital somehow, but that'd be no fun.

That and I'll doubt the GM would be that kind. But I got a idea since we got Remote controlled machine guns and the fact they have crap for anti armor, how about we design a APC with a remote control gun pod our bomber uses to basically roll over them and let our infantry get places quickly and safely.

List of APC's from the first to present day.

Based on what was around by 1951, simply adding a turret to an APC would be a massive advantage. Most models were an armoured box on wheels/tracks, or tanks which happened to have handholds on them.

You basically had the choice or armour protecting your troops but no gun, or gun without the armour. I pity the poor sods who fought back then.

I'd have to do something, probably let the find the tunnels and see what they want to do about them.
As for an APC you're able to fit your remote control gun pod but a pair of .50cal machineguns is't much to write home about.
(Remote control turrets are used in planes as it makes the turret easy to stream line and crew sit in the warm pressurized the hull.)
 
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.

Is there anything we would want from the axis other then possible aircraft? and speaking of aircraft there is the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawker_Hunter we could use to maintain air superiority.

You have limited artillary, a poor light machine gun, an old tank, and no night vision, helicopters, light artillary, armoured cars, anti air guns or handgenades to speak of.

First we need to request Lend-Lease three times for one design to get the full benefit:
Once to get a initial delivery
Twice to start building it in our own factories
And a Third in order to get the actual designs

Second Helicopters have been around for surprisingly long amount of time heck we can get one Lend-Lease from the United States. Hang on I can probably scrounge up some designs.

Edit once more:
Alright the M47 Patton is,give or take, locked in as our Lend-Lease so how about we start proposing indigenous designs?

Apologies for the double-post but I wish to bring everything up front in order to make some decisions.

So yeah lets Lend-Lease the Patton and maybe design a recon and FO heli to give us the edge.

Are Heli's a good idea when we don't have anything to keep the airspace clear?

You know what until we can get some proper stats on a indigenous fighter or heli or whatever let's just go with something simple okay?

-Design
"Anna Ack-Ack" 40mm AAA Gun
It's more or less this:http://www.armyrecognition.com/sweden_swedish_military_army_light_heavy_weapons/l/70_l70_l-70_bofors_40mm_automatic_anti-aircraft_gun_air_defence_system_technical_data_sheet.html
I'll see if I can get some proper stats, but it is shockingly hard to find anything substantial.
Edit:Or "Ack-Ack Anna"

-Lend-Lease
M47 Patton
Link:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M47_Patton
Not much needed to be explained I think?

So...any thoughts? Comments? Suggestions?

This sounds like a good plan, and we could actually out the 40mm on a jet to give it some proper punch.
