Anyway, my next iteration of the bomber.

Spoiler: AS-1931-HAFB (click to show/hide)

A high altitude fast bomber. It utilizes a geodetic airframe, which consists of a tight web of aluminum beams covered with doped fabric. This structure is both light, easy on the amount of materials required, and high resistant to damage (and was pioneered on airships for this reason). Numerous frames can break before the plane looses structural integrity, and even a direct hit by a flak cannon need not be fatal. (Downside is that the complexity of the frame makes it harder to change the physical dimensions of the craft)

The plane is powered by 3 supercharged fuel injected engines, 1 in the nose and 2 in the wings. Giving it the range to bomb Moskurgian cities and the altitude and speed required to bypass it's defenses.

The craft is to be capable of carrying between 1 and 2 ton of bombs, dropped accurately using a bomb sight. Defenses are the placement of one 20 mm autocannon in the tail of the aircraft and another mounted ventrally.

Voidslayer, that seems an huge tank with a big crew.

 That bomber design looks good, but we likely need a ventral cannon more than a nose one.

We could use getting a pistol...

Heres a fancy all new machine pistol

Spoiler: AS PA31 (click to show/hide)

A large powerfull machine pistol.
It has a long 200mm barrel, and detachable magazine holding 20 rounds is mounted forwards of the grip in the style of a Mauser C96.
Capable of both fully automatic fire and single shots it uses a closed-bolt blowback system and a hydro-pneumatic spring to lesson the recoil.
A large amount of the gun is made from Aluminium parts to save weight.
Comes in 9x19mm.

Well that is one unconventional idea.

Crew consists of 2 pilots, 1 navigator/radio operator,

I doubt that is a priority. Pretty much all our soldiers get an SMG as a sidearm.

So for the bomber, were we looking at 3 crew and 2 machine guns in addition to the bombs?

We're looking at 1 pilot, 1 co-pilot/navigator, 1 engineer/dorsal gunner (AC18), 1 bombardier/radiooperator, 1 waist gunner (one AS1924 on each side), and one ventral gunner (possibly with twin-linked machinegun), as we can't really aim for tail gunners yet.
6 people, 4 machineguns, 1 autocannon and at least 1500kgs of bombs.
Yeah...

We could maybe sell our ore to someone for technology though. Christie is showing off his tank suspension around now.

Well blue and red could be from the UK occupation.

Actually any united flag for the continent would likely be from the colonial period since the two nations formed right afterwards.

Fuck that period. They tried to stop us from fighting.
