Artilery Developments

19-10-2003, 06:17
The Republic of New Democrats would like to announce a development of our current C3 105-mm Howitzer. It now requires few soldiers to operate due to a digital aiming system (3 down from 7). It is now lighter meaning it can be towed by light jeeps (i.e. ILTIS). It has an extended range of 7.8 km (up from 2). Armament remains the same (high explosive)

These new guns, C-3 AII Howitzer will go on sale. There is a total production of 200 per month, 50 of which will go on sale.

Initial cost is 75,000 each (I'm not sure what prices should be, I'm new here so thanks for the help)

Yes, digital aiming systems are the future. It helped in the developmend of the King Leopard [i]Sturmpanzer[i], and on our AF-100 and 110 series fighters.

OOC:
Seems... awfully cheap? You can get a PSG-1 sniper rifle for that, not a digitized target acquiring howitzer.

Agreed. 10,000 is far too cheap, Godmod-cheap.

not interested. our war equipment departments are rather immature, with phallic modes of thought - the bigger the barrel and caliber, the better it is, aiming system or whatever be damned. yours is puny in comparison, though probably a lot easier to use and more effective in a mobile war with limited resources.

however, props for a new player making new technology (it's probably not actually new, but whatever) that isn't too advanced to be anywhere near godmodding. good job. just for that, we'll give you about 10 million USD as a "research grant" (i.e do whatever you want with it). the only condition is that you take it in Berëzan Kopeikas, to promote economic trade between our nations.

Thank you, your grant will go to research of our C3 Leopard Tank, your nation will have first chance at a purchase

I would like to purchase 5 of these guns. My only quetion, though, is will you be selling the ammo. If so, I would like to buy some.

Please contact me through telegram when the guns will be ready to ship.

Those guns are ready for shipment. Yours will arrive in two days. Your total is 1,125,000. Shells are 5 USD each and an order will be sent to be there when the guns arrive. Thank you

By the way, you can put 10 million into the C3 AII Variant if you wish. The post is on this board.

Pleasure doing buisness with you. Telegram me with the shell order when the time has come.

shells are 5 USD?! :shock:

you've gotta be kidding me. an arty shell will set you back at least 50, and probably more like 100. 500-10000 for more advanced (such as guided) types.
