I almost forgot about the padded cheek rest!

What cheek?.

I AM curious about the possibility of red dot sights for a marksman variant.

Ever try to look at your phone outside in the afternoon? Even modern red dot sights kind of suck to use during the daytime because the dot isn't bright enough. Also, LEDs didn't become commercially viable until the 60s, not that that's stopped us from inventing things that didn't exist in actual history but you need integrated circuits and that sounds rough.

I know I haven't really been playing at all in the slightest as of late but...I just realized and wanted to point out, we don't really have a tactical bomber, just cas and fighters.

We sorta do. 1931 HAFB. It only has a 2 ton bomb load and is very obsolete.

UF-MINE-43 "Pinata"

A 500 kg variation of the wildly successful Firecracker bomb, the Pinata is an easy-to-deploy area-denial weapon that operates on the exact same altitude-based dispersion method. Commonly deployed by air, this new weapon disperses Rum mines (3Kg, Anti-Personnel), a simple variation on our existing mines.  These mines are sturdy enough to survive being dropped out of a plane and arm themselves shortly after being deployed.  They are possible to detect with Geiger detectors (which we will develop alongside them) thanks to radioactive sand mixed in their paint, but the main purpose is to slow down enemy advancement and force them to advance along chosen chokepoints.  The Rum mines are small and dark-colored, and easily hidden beneath foliage and dirt.

Additionally, Cigar (10 kg, Anti-Tank) mines can be intermixed into the deployment package to prevent armor from easily punching through mined areas. A small number of parachuted Whalesong mines will be an option as well when we fell than we aren´t doing our best at converting the sea into a death trap.

These mines are sensitive enough to detonate when stepped on or tampered with.  They come camouflaged and self-deactivate after a period of three months.

Stealing something is going to make it complex for us no matter what we do. And, as eS already suggested, combat in the Jungle isn´t affected as much by the Air force. Maybe, if we did more than decomplexify the radar (improve the range, resolution...etc.) that might be worth, helping us in many theaters, but a barebone decomplexing won´t make the cut.

A way to riddle our enemies with mines is the best way to halt their advance, both in the Land and in the Sea.

(I suggest not mentioning the thing about radioactive sand din the battle report. See reference:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topfmine)

It's so obsolete we don't use it anymore. But yeah we could do with a tactical bomber and maybe new bombs in the future, something to add to the honestly at this point really long list of things to do.

[Madman198237]

I reiterate:
Not-[Complex] radar will help sea and air, and thus land. After all, we were EVEN in the sea this turn. With improved air advantage and better navy, we might just be capable of advancing in a couple different places. Also, if the Canners buff air, radar helps counter that. If they work on sea, radar helps counter THAT too.

Anybody actually going to do a writeup for the RADAR or are we going to let sensei freestyle it?

[RAM]

I am not sure if the scale is appropriate, but phased-arrays sound very sci-fi...

[Jilladilla]

While the Radar being un-[Complex]ed would help a bit everywhere, our main concern is the Jungle. And while stealing their Nightvision may not be the most pleasant path; it would likely aid us much more in our fight there.

Remember, the Reverse Engineering rules were designed to make up huge gaps in technology like this specific case.

Cannala has six turns of designs and revisions on us, and they spent them mostly on the Night Vision and Missile.

Let's not forget, the jungle is exactly where their night vision will be the most effective.  Letting them be the only side with NV is disastrous - they literally get 50% of the turn completely unopposed.

[QuakeIV]

Pretty much all of our ships already have radar, and we have enough ground based radar for most of our needs.  Cheapening it will be marginal.  If we wanted a huge air advantage we should try to cheapen the engine cost again, then we get the same number of radar fighters since it drops a cost bracket either way, and also get more regular fighters.

Even better would be to just steal the night vision since we can probably get useful amounts of their night vision with just a revision.
