Yeah, the name is important. How about HA for the letter code, for Heavy Artillery? HA doesn't stand for anything else, does it?

[Madman198237]

If you must get a large gun, HA would likely by the best acronym.

[evictedSaint]

I think I added Sheb.  Not sure though; I had to do it through the discord app, and I'm not familiar to it.

[Sheb]

Well, non of our plane use CAS, and we can mislead the Cannalan with it. We also have a HAFB bomber, not sure eaxactly what it stands for anymore (Heavy As Fuck Bomber?). Anti-Ship would make sense, but we have a ton of AS design from Astrozka. The S of system also emphatize that it's more than a gun.

I'm open to suggestion, if possible with a fancy acronym.

[Azzuro]

Well, that was an interesting turn. No attack on the Jungle seems outright insane to me. Called the Cannalans making a new jet, but not the carrier capability, and they didn't use their Expense Credit on it. A bit salty that the Cannalans apparently only rolled a 3 on their jet design, and yet it's almost on par with the Thunderbird, and the un-[Complex] of their turboshaft engines carried over into the jet's turbojet engines as well. Also, for what it's worth, the Spearhead seems to have brought the Cannalans back to air parity, as it's mentioned in the Plains section. Bringing the Thunderbird down to Expensive would give us back air superiority, although the Cannalans could spend the Expense credit and restore the balance.

Anyway, can't decide between the coastal artillery and better radar. On one hand, coastal artillery would definitely ensure we keep the Jungle into next turn. On the other, centimetric plane-mounted radar would greatly boost the effectiveness of our fighters, and could be applied to our carriers, destroyers and ground forces as well, perhaps offsetting the Spearhead.

An alternative plan would be to spend the design on a new twin jet-engined Haast with larger centreline autocannon, larger bomb load and possible rocket pods to un-[Complex] the engines, then spend the revision on either the Archer or improving our radar.

P.S. I think Tauricus named it the B3 originally, because we previously had the B2 destroyer. Not sure what B stands for, though.

Edit: The Haast is a CAS plane, confusingly named a F39 fighter. I think HAFB is High Altitude Flying Bomber?

Sensei wont let us rename-things, and the Haast was originally intended to be a fighter (thus the F designation).

[Powder Miner]

Azzuro, allow me to enlighten you on the true beauty of jet decomplexity: the ore already drops the Tbird to Expensive. With a revision to drop it one more expense level...
Well, they're gonna get numerical stuff turned right around on them.

edit: powder, the ore alone won't drop the thunderbird. We need the ore AND the oil, but we don't have enough TC.

[evictedSaint]

We could jet-engine the Reckless for an extra TC and greater para-trooper ability, though that would need to be a next-turn thing.

[Madman198237]

If we cut down their naval advantage, do we gain enough TC to reduce the price of the jet?

Cutting down their naval advantage gives us at LEAST two more TC, which is quite enough to reduce jet price to expansive (cheap if decomplexified)

[NUKE9.13]

If we cut down their naval advantage, do we gain enough TC to reduce the price of the jet?

Not that such a thing is imminent, but yes, if we drop them to a Basic Naval Advantage, the Thunderbird drops one expense level.
