Attack the Jungle and, the Tundra.

Just a heads up they didn't use their espionage credit to mess with the transport... So that's still out there; honestly it makes me want to kill whoever added the doors in more. For the extra TC point I think we can wing it. As I have noted a lot they go one as a side bonus on a bomber so getting two on a dedicated transport shouldn't be impossible.

Plan Corrective Measures:
- Execute whoever added to doors for blatant sabotage.
- Order the rest of the design team to fix the doors.
- Tell the design team to also add in an extra transport point to the design.
- Or they get flogged.

I guess I will get on the bandwagon... even if I do have worries about it's safety.

Ok, a brief run through of my thinking from the discord we should make a heavy bomber with at least 1 TC. It shouldn't be hard after all Cannalan did it and it offers more then a pure transport plane. Should we need a pure transport plane we can just use a revision to get one from the bomber. So here is a ultra-heavy bomber and, a plain old heavy bomber.

UFS-UHB-1938-S 'Calamity'
A super heavy bomber power by four V-12 turbocharged engines the Calamity is a monster to behold. With a wing span of nearly 50 meters and armed with five guns pods armed with a single 20mm autocannons (one top, one on each side, one front and one rear). Able to carry several metric tons of bombs it uses a form of all or nothing armor with only the engines and cabin being armored. Fuel is carried in a number of cells stopping the plane from bleeding all it's fuel if hit. The interior minus the bomb bay is fully sealed and pressurized with oxygen masks should the crew need to enter the bomb bay mid-air. The plane can also be used to carry either cargo or paratroopers with a extreme focus on getting at least 1 TC. It's manned by ten airmen in a number of roles including a radioman outfitted with a full radio set.

UFS-HB-1938-S 'Archon'
A well armed and armored heavy bomber outfitted with four turbocharged V-12 engines. It's able to carry a significance payload of bombs and is armed with three gun turrets. Each turret is armed with a single 20mm auto cannon and are located in the front, top and back of the plane. It's mainly armored around the engines and the cabin with the wings only being able to take glancing blows. The cabin is seal and pressurized with oxygen mask in the plane should it be punctured or the crew needs to enter the bomb bay. It's also able to carry some cargo or paratroopers with a extreme focus on getting at least 1 TC. It has a crew of seven with a radioman and his kit included.

Son of a .... my apologies about that what I said was "next turn we should make a super fighter bomber and fix our torpedoes rather then going for a transport". Once again sorry about that folks.

292
This was able to shock the discord into silence so behold!

UFS-UHB-19XX-X 'Calamity'
A super heavy bomber power by four V-16 supercharged engines the Calamity is a monster to behold. With a wing span of nearly 50 meters and armed with five guns pods armed with two 20mm autocannons each(one top, one on each side, one front and one rear). Able to carry nearly eight metric tons of bombs it uses a form of all or nothing armor with only the engines and cabin being armored. Fuel is carried in a number of small cells stopping the plane from bleeding all it's fuel if hit. The interior minus the bomb bay is fully sealed and pressurized with oxygen masks should the crew need to enter the bomb bay mid-air. It's manned by ten airmen in a number of roles.

Just some designs I have been meaning to post, while we wait for the drunken pirates to do their jobs.

UFS-AR-19XX-X 'X'
An assault rifle cambered in a brand new 6.5mmx40mm round. It's a gas powered closed bolt action with 4 rotating locking lugs. The gun barrel can be quick-swapped and come in three possible version, a short carbine barrel for fighting in urban or jungle areas, a normal rifle barrel and, a heavy barrel meant to act like a light machine. The guns is designed for paratrooper use with both a folding stock by standard and using a tension spring wrapped around the barrel rather then a compression spring behind the bolt. The tension spring helps to shorten the gun without some of the more glaring flaws of a bullpup. The weapon has 25 round box mags for normal use and 50 round drums for use as a light machine gun.

UFS-ISV-19XX-X 'X'
A light tanks built with aluminum armor and a steel frame designed to strike the balance between weight and our limited aluminum supply. The tanks is designed to be air dropped and only has enough armor to ward off some machine gun fire. It's powered by a fuel-injected supercharged V-12 in the front to provide some measure of protection against anti-tank fire and letting us place a rear hatch on it. Early complains about possible issues with spalling where ignored our as the vehicle is designed to avoid anti-tank as all costs and a meter or two of steel stops the crew from being killed by the first shot. The vehicle is able to ford rivers and come in three possible versions.
APC-1
A version of the ISV made to be an APC it comes with a completely enclosed hull with a roof mounted AS-AC18. The vehicle carries eight passengers, a driver and a radioman/gunner in a 'cozy' and spartan vehicle.
FSV-1
Another version made to be a fire support and anti-air vehicle for troops. It has a open topped turret and a armament of a 40mm cannon with aligned mg, a hull mounted mg and a pintle mounted mg on the turret. The tank has a modified bumblebee computer in it combined with it's open topped turret lets it offer decent anti-air fire power. The crew is made up of a driver, commander, radioman and gunner.
SPA/AT-1
The final version of the ISV designed to be a self propelled artillery and a tank destroyer. It's has an enclosed hull with a noticeable bump on top to help fit a 90mm bumblebee cannon. The bumblebee still has it's computer but, is unusable for anti-air fire as it's mounted on a casemate. The vehicle not only offer solid artillery range with rocket assisted round but, also can serve as slightly tall tank destroyer in a pinch. Most of it's interior space is taken up by steel supports for the 90mm cannon and ammo to the point which the tank is only air dropped with a few round and needs to have extra dropped later. It's crew is made up of a gunner, loader, driver and radioman; it's expected to work with FSV-1 in order to provide any needed command and control.

(Note: The one kind of implausible thing about this design was the 16 bumblebee guns. No way!)
To be fair, I'd initially requested a much more humble amount and was bullied into putting in more.

In my defense when I suggested that amount I thought they where 40mm cannons not 90mm.

Your guessing that their ballista is inaccurate rather then being pretty accurate and then have lucky strike further increase that.

A Thesis on the Nature of Cannalan and it's link to Germany in the Great War.
Created By: The Forenia Ministry for Truth
Overseen By: The Forenia Ministry for Ethics
~~~
   Forenia is more like America then nearly anyone can imagine. Our issues are well cataloged but, in spite of our past we strive to best ourselves and our nation. However there is has always been a strand of Forenia that deeply reflects America our knowledge that a properly armed populace is important, the knowledge that true to Wilson thirteen points travel by sea is a sacred and important right and, that while often failing at it's task the role of the government is to enable to the people. Not for the people to enable the government. In this points we see a stark and deeply concerning difference in Cannalan.

   Rightly called a corrupt state Cannalan vulgarly disregards everyone of these important rights. The government offers nothing to it's people rather it suffers from some of worse excesses seen in the world. It's taxes are rather more just protection fees by another name. These taxes give nothing back to the people who they were taken from and instead are used to line the coffers of government elites. The right of freedom of travel is also ignored with any ship near Cannalan shores also most guaranteed to be raided. This stands in firm violation of President Wilson's thirteen points that even in the darkest of days during the Forenia civil war was left intact. Weapons are also limited as to insure that whose are ruled over can't overthrow the government in spite of it's vast flaws.

  Worse yet is the treatment of the Juraki people. Once the Forenia civil war was over people where even equal rights so that they may be active in government. Cannalan showing it's rotten moral core instead enslave these people and forced them to work on vast rum plantations. This is very much a case of the what should be outdated evil of slavery being proudly restored in Cannalan. The Juraki suffer evils that where rarely seen in even the depth of America slavery.

   At last we arrive to how Cannalan mirrors Germany before the Great War. Cannalan not merely content to enslave it's own people seek to expand their dominion aboard. Cannalan wrongly blaming Forenia for the rebels it's own misguided policies created started a unprovided war. Forenia firmly believing in the sacred right of free sea travel never created a navy seeing no reason. Cannalan spotting this choose them believing that like the British empire without a vast navy they would be no challenge. However just like America we are pushing them back thanks to the strength of our beliefs.

   A favorite lie of Cannalan is that we are just as bad as they are as we attacked the nearby British colony. This land however has long been rightfully Forenia's and the people who lived here begged for the right of self-determination but, where coldly refused. See that these rightful rebels would be crushed without help Forenia move to aid them and give them the self-determination they so dearly want. Cannalan on the other hand attacked an nearby independent island nation further proof of it's immoral aggression. However in spite of us being n the right we cannot defeat Cannalan without great cost and we like the nations of Europe we ask America for aid. For while Europe could defeat Germany it was the intervention of America that let them decide the terms of defeat and free the world from unneeded aggression.

My argument for the Hellion over the carrier or the cruiser:
The first and biggest issue is we don't want to be bogged down in the jungle. If we focus solely on dealing with the sea we run the risk of a solid fighter or AA gun breaking our advantage. Further more to this point without effective torpedoes I doubt we can further reduce our losses at sea. Yes we can use a revision on it but, that's rather risky as rolling low(or high with a larger difficult) means we would need that revision to fix things. Worse case with the hellion(like a 1) we end up with a mediocre fighter that helps a little bit and we still can use the revision to fix our torpedoes. The cruiser has other issues the biggest one is it's really hard to beat them at sea using a normal 'big guns' navy. I'm 99% sure they picked the navy leader so unless our ship really outclass them we are going to have a very hard time deal with them there. Our number one goal should be forcing their hand into ground/naval based AA defenses. Once we do that we are just a high altitude bomber and some patience away from winning. After all you need to rest somewhere and it's really hard to do that when you get spotted by a recon plane and then get carpet bombed.

Corrected vote total as stabby dropped my vote(it's not going to win but, it annoyed me nonetheless). Also FYI in the attachment bar you can disable smileys to stop 8) from turning into one.
