You could also downgrade your destroyer into a support ship with radar and other features.  Say an ACM, an amphibious command ship intended to co-ordinate invasions.  It'll be fairly easy, as you can remove elements of the destroyer that won't be useful in that role (it's broken torpedo tubes, say.)  It'll also remain useful forever, even when you've replaced the mainline destroyer.  You may even have some CIC space for coordinating air support from a mobile platform, as well as additional detection for fighter direction purposes away from the carrier.

We want to regain the advantage in the jungle, though, not at sea. We can work on our naval advantage when we feel ready to try recapturing the Tundra, or somesuch.

I'm mostly aware of that.  And wondering where the new tank design is to beat up on their APCs.  And seeing a lot of 'more radios' which doesn't seem terribly useful.

I like the high-octane fuel, but worry that it might increase fuel-use. If only we had more oil...

We should add MREs back to that list though. Because they make a huge difference for health and morale and won't be revised in a future uniform revision.

Forenia's new Haast performs admirably as a ground attacker, it carries a good bomb load and its four autocannons can kill every infantryman in a line a few meters wide when strafing, if loaded with HE shells. It's also pretty resistant to flak and HMG fire. However, it's not enough to make up for the Cannalan armored advantage, or the fact that the very wet jungles aren't burning so easily under Forenian Firecracker bombs this season.

Since we did roll a 6 on the Haast, why not improve its anti-armour capability?

UF-AGR-39 "Bogdanov"
Named after a famous PAROI party member who helped to rescue Forenia's democracy, the AGR-39 is Forenia's first air-launched rocket. It is a 100mm fin-stabilised anti-tank rocket with solid fuel propellant and a HEAT conical shaped charge warhead, an upscaled version of technology used in the RPG-28A. It comes in racks of four rockets that can be fitted to the mounts on our fighters and the Haast, giving them more powerful and precise anti-tank weapons for use against Cannalan armour. Pilot aiming is expedited by the addition of a transparent cockpit sight outlining the trajectory of rockets from each mount at different preset ranges.

If we get this, we could go on to rocket artillery or longer-range anti-aircraft/ship rockets. Possibly even guided ones?

So, couple of things. Unguided rockets are super inaccurate. We are already countering their armour advantage by deploying the Salamander, since it can beat their Raiders before they destroy our tanks. And strapping rocket racks to the Haast is going to make it even slower.

The Salamander, as noted by Sensei, requires a good hit in order to penetrate the Raider armour, whereas these don't. The Haast doesn't need to be fast, it needs to have punch to take out enemy armour decisively. In fact, slower speed will be better for the pilot's aiming, so I don't see what your point is there.

[VoidSlayer]

Would fins and gyroscopic stabilizing help the rocket?  Either way it seems like a bit much for a revision.

But rockets...

Rockets work pretty well from the fear effect even if they don't hit that often.

[Kot]

We got Firecrackers for that exact purpose. I would like to remind you that they (PTABs) were decided the best anti-tank plane equipment by Soviets, which employed rockets, bombs, anti-tank cannons and all.

Please do not vote for overly reduntant things.

[Powder Miner]

Infantry QoL doesn't provide us with that much of an advantage at the moment, as we already command infantry superiority! Coordinating our paratrooper squads and restoring communication advantage to some degree is FAR more important, especially because we are behind!
