Shit, that's actually pretty good.

Keep Arstotzka's capital city's name as Arstotzka. Glory to Arstotzka.
Impressive.
What about some backstory though? We can't exactly be worse than THEM.

We can't give the RPG to the communists because it'll piss of the US (again) and it'll be giving away the weapon that shouldn't have been invented for another decade.
First, communist will win anyway. And it was the Moskurgians who pissed off the US recently, If I remember right. Also, fucking ore that will make stuff cheaper. Not to mention that USA doesn't really gave a shit until after WWII thanks to their isolationism, and we can't really compete with Moskurgian machinegun, so we don't have much to give to the other side.
If they actually decide to send their Sorraia over, they'll lose due to resource cost.
Resource cost of what? It costs 2 ore, so does our old machineguns (the new ones are 3 ore) which are arguably (yeah, right) worse.
And if you mean they will lose to our pistol, then this discussion makes no sense, you clearly should be shoot at dawn. Chinese wanted a machine gun, not something that is objectively worse than throwing stones.
It's a statement. We shouldn't be grateful to the British for ending their occupation and slavery of the Arstotzkan people. Moskurgs are cowards for bending over for the great British schlong of oppression.
What a bullshit.
We want British to like us, all in all, if Americans get angry (which you're so afraid of), British may step in, CONSIDERING THEY LIKE US BECAUSE WE GAVE HIM SOMETHING THAT ISIN'T HORSESHIT.
No more pissing off the US. Remember what happened last time.
I don't actually. Can't seem to find that in reports. What happened?

Could we also be serious about the events. I mean, Moskurgians are sending both the Chinese and British their machine gun, while Andres thought it will be a good idea to give the Brits our pistol. I'm not sure which is the worse, that it's so shitty or that we didin't sent them anything better.
I mean, come on, those guys are, theoretically, our superiors, so we should at least make them like us enough to not support the damn Moskurgians, so they can resume their colonialism with only one faction to sit on (not that they have much time, decolonialism is closing in).
Also, I suppose we should send the commies our RPGs. We will have more ore for three years.

Well what about "Euklaresia"? Combines the name of the Greek goddess of glory and the Greek god of war.
Read it out loud and tell me it doesn't sound like a brand of mint sweets or worse.
EDIT: The second one is even worse.

shitty cheap special effect
It's also a thinly veiled reference to pretty obscure joke about not-so-well-known game that isin't going to be a thing for another 75 years or so. It doesn't even sound right, unlike the original, which is funny only when used in Wh40k fandoms, with moderation.

Spoiler: AS-EMC-Series A-Z (click to show/hide)
It doesn't have the date in it's name. It breaks the naming scheme. Burn the papers, use both the prototypes and designers as targets on firing range and then melt it all, cover with concrete shell and dump off the coast.
You don't understand, the coding machine is so good it even encodes the date present in its name. It's perfect.

Glory to Arstotzka.
No. If it was really encoded it would be called SA-CME-9291 or maybe TB-DNF-2030.

This game has ruined me. Every time I go to write a post anywhere on the forums, I'm compelled to write "Glory to Arstotzka" after I'm done. This is what you've done to me, Sensei.
What's stopping you?

EDIT:
Also, I propose we name our capital, The Capital.
It's named so because British didin't want to acccept AS-CC77 as the name for it after creation of Western Pacific Territory and Arstotzkans had trouble accepting less formal names for their most representative city (which, at the time, consisted of single wooden hut where everyone was cramped in. Although it didin't stop the Arstotzkan Design Bureau from drawing their new concepts on maps, which they got from British, with a piece of charcoal. We got better since then.

Quote from: Wikipedia
In 1929, Hungarian physicist Kálmán Tihanyi invented the infrared-sensitive (night vision) electronic television camera for anti-aircraft defense in Britain.
We need more information on this. Contact this guy. Get to know what he knows.
If it was useful enough we may have thermovision scopes to hunt down those fucking snipers.

Can't we just, like, divert SMGs from plains or mountains and send them to jungle or something?

1) Air to land rockets usable by our bombers and that old cheap triplanes
2) Mountain howitzer
4) New mortar

Can be combined in a simple rocket artillery. Germans mounted Nebelwerfer rockets on their planes, after all.
Spoiler: AS-RA120 (click to show/hide)
I am against anything emulating Russian Katyusha. Nebelwerfer style six-shooter 150mm rocket launcher would be better, as it would be actually more portable, maybe even allowing us to use it in mountains, not to mention that it could be mounted on other vehicles like Katyusha too.

Don't we maybe happen to have natives who use really obscure language on our part of island? Dunno, polar-bear people?
Also, it did? I don't really pay much attention to pitful Moskurgian attempts of making something useful.

scoped assault rifle is a bad idea. Too many potential failures.
Exactly. Assault rifle aren't even accurate enough to put a scope on.
Bullshit, this isin't some FPS game, being an assault rifle doesn't make a gun unnacurate.
AS-GB29 - motor gunboat armed with a turret taken from T25 and capable to carry marine infantry.
Needs more firepower in form of rocket artillery though. It can be made before or after the boat.
Spoiler: AS-FP-29 (click to show/hide)
- bringing airforce to jungles
No. Same reasons as glorious Fi-29. ;_;
As for holding mountains....
I think that there other ways to counter that scopes if we choose this route. No need to counter their advantages with exact copy.
Like?

Also, guys, we don't really need to be very quick with it. Did Moskurgians even react in their thread?

FUCKITY FUCKITY FUCK NEW POST NEW POST
Also, I'm not sure if revision of radio will cut it. We can at least try to be creative with it though.

Isn't that contradictory? I though assault rifles were close to medium range thingies.

On that note, we don't need to be reactionary. We can innovate on our own with a different design not relevant to any of these threats.
Germans had scoped Stg44s. They were damn good at longer distance with scope, actually.
