the discovery of large strong metal deposits alongsid the natral haubours provided by my fuded costlin has prompted the construction of masive naval dockyards in Aracas the plan is that when completed they will be able to churn out 5 ships a week to exsact specifications cost for bulding will be given before the buld is complet. this will cost me 100000000credits and will tacke a week to complete the biuld with my current workforce we should work should be finished by 2/11/03 and the first dock should be up and runing by 29/10/03 however this will be for work on my own forces. build is 3% complete. the construction of a helicopte aronautics center has begun to develop coppas most suiter to sip based rolls this construction for this is much simpler than the dockyards and is alredy 25%complete reasrh has alredy begun.

the work on the dokyard is 15%complete and is on schdual. The building of the helicopter reserch center is almost complete and the bilding of a prototype is complete and testing has begun.

Gazelle AH-1


The Gazelle really is the 'sports car' of the rotary-wing world of Naval Aviation. A superb aircraft its flying qualities are splendid and its forgiving nature.


Gazelle AH-1
Engines 1 x 592shp Turbomeca free power turbine
max speed 200kph
celing 1km
Crew 1 or 2 pilots

armerment
2 miniguns placed under th fusalarge able to put out 1000 rps
can take 3 missile pods taking either anti tank, anti sub, anti surface ship missiles

cost for a prototype = 5 mil

the work the ship yard is still on schdul and is now 30% complete. the building of helicopter center is now 75% complete and a second helicopter is in development the merlin multi purpouse personal / anti submarine
Powered by three Rolls Royce Turbomeca gas turbines, the rugged, crashworthy airframe is of modular construction, mainly of aluminiumlithium, aluminium and composites. The rotor system, which is fully folding, benefits from some of the most advanced helicopter aerodynamics in the world. With a maximum all-up-mass of 14,600 kg, and a top speed of 167 kts, the Merlin can carry four homing torpedoes or depth charges, and has sufficient fuel for a radius of operation of over 200 nautical miles.

The aircraft and its mission system are managed by two computers, linked by dual data buses. The glass cockpit is configured for single pilot operation, as is the dual redundant flight control system and auto pilot. All crew stations can access the management computers and can operate the tactical displays, fed by the Blue Kestrel radar. Navigation is state of the art with ring laser gyros, inertial reference systems GPS, doppler and radar altimeters. The sonics suites are both Passive, (AQS903), and Active Dunking Sonar (FLASH), both system benefiting from some of the most advanced form of information processing. Electronic Support measures (ESM), are supplied by the new Orange Reaper and the mission system is completed by a comprehensive communications fit. The capability of the Merlin weapon system is such that it has been double-earmarked for the two Primary Roles of both anti surface anti surface missile capability is planned for the Merlin Mk2

The Lynx Mk8

Primarily an anti-surface and anti-submarine helicopter designed to operate from frigates and destroyers of the Fleet, this fast and capable aircraft has recently been updated to the Mk8 standard, which is now in service throughout the Fleet. The aircraft is being fitted with a very advanced Central Tactical System and Passive Identification Device in addition to the equipment currently fitted. Each independent flight comprises a pilot, an observer and a team of 7 maintainers. They embark in their ship whenever it sails. Able to fire the Sea Skua anti-surface missile, the Lynx forms an integral part of the ships detection and weapon system and can project the influence of a ship over great distances with the key element of surprise. In addition to the Sea Skua the Lynx has the Sting Ray torpedo and the older technology, but nevertheless most effective depth charge for anti-submarine warfare. The aircraft may also be fitted with a machine gun pod.

A second variant of the Lynx is in service with the Royal Navy. The attack/utility version is operated in support of the Royal Marines in conjunction with the Commando Sea King. It fires the TOW anti-armour missile and gives an autonomous and flexible response against tanks and armoured personnel carriers to the Land Force Commander during Amphibious Operations.

So how much are all of these things? (I notice your economy is a basket case, which is bad, very bad)

Arcas, you are hearby ignored due to your basket case economy. YOU CANNOT AFFORD such a project even with support let alone build any vessels. Come back when your economy is thriving (like mine :P)

i have the support of a country with a strong econamy and 517 million citzens and a 60%. Also note my tax rates whch are currently 82% and higher erners are charged closer to 100%

gazel is 5 mil
merlin is 7 mil
a type 23 frigate is 300 mil
linx is 6mil
broadsword costs 10 mil

Sorry bud, but I think Exetonia is right. You're only supposed to devote ~20-30% of your budget to military matters. I suppose you could argue that your research facilities are also used by civilians, so you could devote a larger part of the budget to this research, but I'd still say that you're too young at the moment.

Having a larger country back you does not mean that they'll pay for all of your stuff. You need to be able to finance the majority of the construction, or else everything produced is technically owned by the larger country.

Also, high tax rates are unrealistic in the real world. People will have no desire to make money if they're gonna have 80% of it taken away at the end of the year. Still, your prices are certainly realistic, which is good.

You show promise. Just back off of the gas a bit, let your nation and its economy grow, and then get back to this project. And before anybody laughs at me, I'm not a new nation...merely a resurrected May nation...:?

the large nation backing me is doing so for me to produse thes wepons for sale in his shop this thread is just till the shop is up and running

ooc:- What is GDP per capita and GDP? This could help me a lot of you were to explain and how do u work it out? thanks

also pepole seem to have forggotten the realativly low cost of workers meaning that cost of producing goods costs alot less than because of the relativly low cost of labour. also this happens in the real world countrys like england and america are massive employers in china and other LEDC's

i, as a demiliterized zone, am not allowed to develop my military but I have a need for a defence. Looking through these Forums i found this developing nation, about the same age as me, with a militry development and have decided that i m in need of defence.

I am willing to donate half my militry buget or 3,474,954,000 to the militry development of aracas in the understanding that if my borders are thretened he will send military to defend them.

Greetings from the Rouge Nation OF Nauac

We like your development of equiptment Aracas and would like to invest 1billion USD. Of course, you will have to allow your equiptment to be sold in our region shop.
As you are in our Region i will help fund your military development further if needed, as i have $978,127,487,500 to spend on my military; so contact me if you need anything else.

ooc:- What is GDP per capita and GDP? This could help me a lot of you were to explain and how do u work it out? thanks


GDP is Gross Domestic Product and per capita means per person so your GDP per capita is how much money your citizens are making each (on average).

Note:- Your prices are way over the top compared to deals I have been able to get from other nations. I suggest lowering them if you want to sell many.

Actually the prices aren't bad, a bit low perhaps but since they are in £s (ie multiply by 1.6 to the get the $ price) that perhaps isn't a factor.


Just one niggle: why of earth does your broadsword have 6 engines? why not the 2 that actually appear in your pick (of an MH-60 DAP).

Unless this is a massive helo there is now way you are getting more than 11 men in it (the basic black hawk has room for 11 troops and the DAP only really room for 8 at the most).

this is the acctual cost for the type 23 frigate
so from now on it costs £170,000,000

the broadsowrd is based on the blackhawk (baisicly the best picture i could find) i will macke the change to the amount of men.and moters thank you for your advise and support

also thanks for your support nagroth and Nauac i will send you both a lynx helicopters as a token of our eternal thanks your donations have streagthened my economy massily an put me in the position of being able to begin the devalopment of a destroyer and an helicopter carrier
