True, it may be a bit much.  You know what, I'm going to split it up.  Pattern A is without the firing while moving, while Pattern B does have that.

Revision: UF-RTS-43 'Long Shot' B

Using our new cavity radar, we fix the Longshot Targetting system.  It is now more precise. It factors in leads based on shell travel time and target velocity. It goes on all our ships, and our shore artillery.  This revision makes the Longshot matter now.

Hard: 2
UF-RTS-43 'Long Shot' B
: The Longshot B uses a more precise cavity radar, and the operator now controls the gun's position with two dials rather than a sliding bracket, which is more precise. This gives fine control over the gun, but any more complicated factors such as wind or moving targets must be accounted for manually.

Do we want to reclaim our ore?
Do we want to kick them off our continent?
Do we want to make reclaiming their titanium more of a pain?
...
Considering that ore only makes the AS-T33 and Sea Lift Cheap, and Death Ball Expensive, we're good without it. Especially as Sensei is ignoring the Death Ball.. :/

Let's be honest---the Death Ball is useless. Maybe, MAYBE, if we somehow made the ridiculous things Cheap, MAYBE would Sensei mention them as a minor problem that sometimes makes roads impassable. Maybe.

Actually...we could turn them into some sort of impediment. That or we just adapt the "technology" to hollowing boulders and leaving them by roadways, filled with explosives.

our ore is worth more, but the point is, I think, that we can't let them have their titanium back, since a couple of crucial designs of their depended on it.  taking tereshkova ore would have the same effect, but they are much farther from achieving that.

T33 being cheap is pretty damn important. It outclasses the T2 breaker by a lot and can actually put up a fight against their bull.

Meh. Reducing their air force to using obsolete prop-driven pieces of junk while also pushing the Bull to VE is PROBABLY enough to make the loss of our Ore pretty much meaningless.

Last season was a momentous occasion. The first time Forenia ever succeeded a landing.

Is this the first strategy vote that was even slightly contentious?

Well, we have experience with rocket assisted tanks from the death ball, maybe we could make a tank and APC with a giant rocket strapped to it and a parachute that can be launched from extreme distances to land entire armored companies behind enemy lines.

Or extremely heavy tanks, like meters of armor, steel buildings with arms the size of freeways and hearts as dark as night!

Or its a stupid gimmick that was put up towards the end of the other war just to mess with people.
