As promised.

You can only vote for one item.

[TricMagic]

Pretty much, seems you forgot to remove the old vote.

[FallacyofUrist]

Sorry, sorry, you're right.

If you are going for cool then why would you go for air guns over mini rocket launchers like the apace marines?

This is our bread and butter turns

Wiatrówki Wer. 1 "Windgun Ver. 1"

I do appreciate the use of Polish as well, its under used in AR's.

Eh fuck it

Betrayal!

At least we can use the compressed air tech for other weapons if good enough

It won't scale well is the problem. Its going to perpetually be outranged and outpowered by gunpowder weapons- hell they might be making rail weapons for all we know and then its really gonna be underpowered and we'd have backed ourselves into a corner with an underpowered and overcomplicated system for not reason other than "Le Funni"

[Kashyyk]

This game runs on Rule of Cool. That means we can get Mechs. Something like competitive Air Rifles should be fine.

[Thanatos Russ]

If rule of cool then use a new type of propellant not air then?

Do something that at least sounds like it scales, like railguns or lasers or grav guns or anything else.

Air is not cool as a propellant unless this were a spyrace

Some form of booster tech for temporarily flight? Be limited to an infantry division, but having a special forces would be cool. They would need good gear though.

Being a bit negative Maxim. I get where you're coming from, but there are interesting ways to use it, and it's based in historical fact. Some of the first Artillery was pneumonic.

Nin. Note that pneumonic mechs are valid. Even if hydraulic is better for heavy loads, advantage of air is it's free.

Nin2. This is WW1, only railguns are likely to be made, and those would be experimental. And need good electrical knowledge. Not saying we couldn't, but. No one proposed such, and rail guns are old AR at this point. Air's never really been used before I think?

Compression can scale with the strength of materials btw. Just use more compression to get more bang. (Hopefully not literal bang.)

[Kashyyk]

We need to justify it though. We could get to those things, but we need to setup a semi-plausable tech base first. Compressed Air Weaponry gives us high-pressure metallurgy and Steam Power, which are important zteps towards the precision machining and high-voltage electricity we'd need for Railguns.
