A normal difficulty?

You should really look to the wilderness for your stealth ideas, it has been doing it much longer than you have after all. Take squids for example, that ink trick works pretty well, and in water too! So you just sneak into the dam upsteam, dump several megatons of distressed squid into it, then break the dam. Boom, you suddenly have enough water-proof stealth for a whole city!

Ban weed?  Are you kidding me?  The government is going to tell us what we can and can't smoke now?  What's next, they're going to tell us how many bullets per second our guns are allowed to shoot?  They're going to try and tell us we can't keep recoilless rifles mounted over our fireplaces for home defense?  That we can't riot, "for our own good"?  Get the fucking government out of our lungs and back to designing weapons!

Going against the grain here. DEATH PENALTY FOR WEED SMUGGLING >.< No mercy for Cannalan sympathisers!

P.S. Equivalent to the engine thrust of the Haast is pretty insane. Since we have two engines, that's twice the thrust, and since the Thunderbird is undoubtedly lighter than the Haast, that may be 3-4 times faster acceleration. That would also put its top speed well into the transonic range, assuming it is relatively low-drag.

Normal: 3
aT-J03:
Subtle tweaks to the amount of metals in the alloy used for critical components of the aT-J01 jet engine, and a special forging process, have allowed higher rotational speeds and larger turbine and compressor blades. The improved engine is still small, but a single unit can provide as much thrust as the engine used in the Haast, while being lighter.
Well, now we are locked into jet engine power focus. I hope we will follow with more designs instead of going for another advanced field like night vision, radio guidance weapons or composite armor for tanks.

Long term it should be quite good. Short term we could get something way more impactful than improved perfomance of a very expensive fighter. Let's hope it will be enough to secure the jungles.

Mother of God that is insane, we might have to invent eletrical computers soon, so we can use that speed to it's fullest. Also we mount six of those on a bomber we could probably start bombing their homeland and simply outrun anything threating.

We don't need no stinking hippies, and having it legal will make us even less popular with other countries than we already are, including our nominal allies.

Even if you found a suitable opening, I doubt it would prove all too satisfying. And it might leave some nasty wounds, depending on the moral high ground's geology.

Germany doesn't care, Baffler.  They didn't even really know about the recreational use of cannabis at the time - they actually prescribed meth and coke to their soldiers as stimulants.  They only had a problem with alcohol as it caused a degradation of discipline.

Besides, it's less detrimental to health than tobacco (not to say that it's good for you) and if we can replace tobacco with it, it'll improve our health.

Forenia is the Land of Insane Freedom, where you can mount a recoilless rifle over your fireplace for home defense.  It'll help with PTSD, if nothing else - and the idea that it causes people to become hippies is a myth.

Drunkenness is fine. You recover. However, narcotics like cannabis do permanent brain damage. You can't sit somebody in Tiger Armor on a Stallion and expect them to shoot accurately at the right targets if they're drugged up and brain-damaged!

That's LSD your thinking of when it comes to helping with PTSD/Shell shock.
