Das Uber-Deutschland is proud to announce that we have completed our first major ground based military project, a main battle tank. The idea behind the massive expenditure of engineering capital behind this was to have an itegrated, top of the line tank that could out-pace, out-battle, and out-last any other tank design. My country recently made two hundered billion on a technology contract with another nation (a none military contract). This has jumpstarted production of the main battle tank.

Specs:
weight-75 tons
length-390 inches
width-145 inches
ground clearance-22 inches
obastacle crossing-51 inches
propolsion-V8 twin turbo diesel powering a 1566 KW (2100 hp) generator through gear reduction. 2 AC traction motors powering each track with hydraulic anti-vibration dampening.
Max speed-55 mph
armor-depleted uranium armor (7 tons more than M1 abrams). Active defensive armor available.
Armament-130mm smooth bore main cannon firing a bepleted uranium or tungsten projectile shrouded in a sabot.
1 anti-personal 5.56 NATO minigun mounted on turet.
1 anti-motorized thermal targeted missle system.
cost: around 6 million per unit
I dont want to clog up the board anymore, however if you need good reasons as to why this tank is superior to others, just telegram me, and ill give you facts. these are merely combat specs, they do not speak of the superior logistics this tank posseses. A simple comparison is between the abrams; notice an abrams weighs about 65 tons and goes 45 mph max. This tank weighs 75 tons yet can thunder around at 55mph. This is because the unit produces 2100 horsepower at the generator wheres an abrams generates 1500 before going through the thermaly innefiecient hydrokinetic (no, thats not a bs word) transmission.

Logistics:
First off, this tanks propulsion is better than the abrams because it uses no transmission. An inherent problom with transmissions (especialy heavy equipment tranies) is that they generate a lot of heat. This on top of massive torque make them not as reliable as could be desirable, as in high maitanence cost etc. The deisel electric propulsion of our tank completely eliminates the need of a transmission. All it needs is a simple clutch to allow it to idle. Also, the power to weight ratio of electric motors verses any kind of internal combustion engine is far greater. Every pound saved in the power to weight ratio equation equalls more allowance for armor. These electtric motors that run the tracks are very low maitanence and produce little heat. Since the diesel engine runs a generator, you basicaly have a moving generator as well, allowing possible future artilery pieces that can recieve power from armored devisions. In the area of armor, these tanks use depleted uranium. Depleted uranium is many times more dense than armor grade steel. With a more powerful propolsion system, this allows this tank to have more armor and still retain a top in class high speed. This armor thickness allows this tank to repel nearly all types of ammuniton a better percentage of time than any tank fielded today. In the area of armament, the main cannon, a smooth bore 130mm cannon, uses the same size projectile as a 120mm cannon, only it has a larger sabot that allows it to soak up more vibration and therfor be more accurate. The cannon is stabalised by a hydraulic dampening system that also keeps accuracy very good. Targeting for the main gun can be thermal, infrared, and night vision. The anti-mechanized missle system is designed to stop very fast incoming threats such as helicopters, and light mechanized vehicles. This system is thermaly targeted and after fired, fully automated. The anti-personal turet mounted mini-gun is fairly self explanetory, it fires a huge amount of lead in a small amount of time.

I am still looking for more naval vessels such as frigates, and support ships.

I am also looking for more ground and air units.

My id messed up hold on

I am still looking for more naval vessels such as frigates, and support ships.

I am also looking for more ground and air units.

our Kuznetzov Class Battlecruisers fill the AA Role you seek, and our brand new F-11A Is an incredible, but rather expensive interceptor. just click the link in our above post.

Blue Ridge Class Amphibious Command ships provide command and control for fleet commanders. The Blue Ridge is the most capable command ship ever built, with an extremely sophisticated Command and Control system. The Joint Maritime Command Information System(JMCIS) consists of numerous powerful computers distributed throughout the ship from which information and data from worldwide sources are entered into a central database. This single integrated database concentrates the available information into a complete tactical picture of air, surface and subsurface contacts, enabling the Fleet Commander to quickly assess and concentrate on any situation which might arise. This ability to access information from military and civilian sources throughout the world gives Blue Ridge a global command and control capability unparalleled in Naval history.

Unit Cost: $425 million


Mercy Class hospital ships are designed to provide emergency, on-site care for US combatant forces deployed in war or other operations. Hospital ships have two missions. First, to provide a mobile, flexible, rapidly responsive afloat medical capability to provide acute medical and surgical care in support of amphibious task forces, Marine Corps, Army, and Air Force elements, forward deployed Navy elements of the fleet and fleet activities located in areas where hostilities may be imminent. Secondly, to provide a full-service hospital asset for use by other government agencies involved in the support of disaster relief and humanitarian operations worldwide. The hospital ships each contain 12 fully-equipped operating rooms, a 1,000 bed hospital facility, radiological services, medical laboratory, a pharmacy, an optometry lab, a cat scan and two oxygen producing plants. Both vessels have a helicopter deck capable of landing large military helicopters, as well as side ports to take on patients at sea.

$400 million


Kilauea class ammunition ships' mission is transport and deliver of bombs, bullets, missiles, mines, projectiles, powder, torpedoes, and various other explosive devices and incendiaries, as well as associated ordnance cargo to the various ships in the Fleet, while underway. This type of support is necessary in order to achieve and maintain the Navy's requirement for a high degree of logistical independence. These efforts enable the Navy to more effectively perform its functions of sea control and projection of power ashore. Their Secondary Mission involves providing limited quantities of fuel, water, and combat store products, in addition limited ship repair and maintenance services, as well as special project services.

Fleet Will Be Delivered Shortly

Norhrup Grumann, you are the biggest godmoder i have ever seen.

How is he godmodding?

Probably because I wrote "Fleet will be delivered shortly"
I went back and changed it to "ASAP"

How is he godmodding?

he is a nation of but 5 million people. and he is selling almost 500 billion dollars of naval equipment. that is much more than his entire national budget. run him through the GPD Calc to see.

Oh thats OK then. I thought maybe he put everything too cheap or something and I thought damn I'm gonna have to reduce my order. All I care about is that I get my weapons... :D

See, if Austar Union paid me ahead of time then I would have enough money to build all these ships.

See, if Austar Union paid me ahead of time then I would have enough money to build all these ships.

OOC: ok, that settles this godmodding issue.

IC: Austar Union, we will even throw in a discount if you buy enough stuff.

Esryia: I will buy 32.5 Million Barret B/B Rifles. That comes to $39B. Maybe we can round that to $30B?

I would also be interested in buying Armed and Armoured Humvees if you are willing to produce them...

wow, my own military fields 10,000 of these tanks. 40,000 tanks is beyond massive. Please realise it will take time to fulfill this order. My country is in full production of this tank and is capable of producing 100 of these top of the line machines a day. That would equate to slightly over a year to fulfill your order. They will come in monthly shipments of three thousand. This is great, my country will sit content on top of this contract for over a year, and our defense budget just went up a very large percentile!

By "high tech" do you mean a space program or just a futuristic army. If its the space program, do you need warships?

By high tech, I meant as in: Japan is hightech in the rl world compared to other nations. I am interested in developing a small space program, but nothing massive.

Ok, round to $35Billion. I will buy 10000 humvees at $1B. Thanks.

order confirmed. i would recomend the F/A-55 For a reliable naval based fighter. it is not domestically designed, and some parts are shipped from Ice World (Metals), Kazakastan (Avoinics), and Soviet Hagradiaa (Weapons, Avionics), so it is in hot demand, and supplys are limited.

Canada-Germany:

I will buy:

100 000 X C8A1(carbine, 5.56mm) for my Special Forces
5 000 000 X C9; FN-Minimi (LMG, 5.56mm) for guerilla units
10 000 X McMillan’s Tac-50 (Sniper Rifle, .50 cal) for sniper units

You state price.

These are quality goods:

C8A1: $3055 Per Unit
C9: $5123 Per Unit
Tac-50: $8555 Per Unit

Again, prices can be argued.

Northrop-Grumman, you don't have the manpower to build all those ships - my quesiton is where are you going to get the 20 million + tons of steel for the ships? Sorry, not buying it. Plus, with your size and economy it owuld take ytou about 50 ns years to complete that order, no no muich longer thant hat about 100 ns years. Not feasible.

Austar Union, if you do need quality naval ships you can always purchase from me.

http://www.angelfire.com/ar3/doujin/logo (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=100828)

Northrop-Grummen, $1 billion for a Nimitz Aircraft Carrier? Somone is ripping themselves off!

A Nimitz costs $4.4 billion to construct. As for 40...how long do you plan on waiting for your fleet Austar? It takes at least 3 years to build 1. Given that the nation you just signed a multi billion dollar deal with has a mere 6 million people, they will probably finish your order sometime in the 2nd century AD...if you are lucky.

You just wasted a lot of money...I hope Austar has tight control over the media or else I fear there will be public anger at such a waste of public funds.

Given also that Austarian citizens pay a mere 1% tax, I wonder where the government obtains such a mammoth budget from? Even with 574 million people, only 40-50% of the population would be employed and unless you are paying them ludicrous and unsustainable salaries given you are such a frightening econonomy then what you claim is impossible. With enormous salaries comes conspicuous consumption which equates to high consumerism, ultimately resulting in high inflation. Your economy would collapse.

Talk about 'delusions of gradeur'

Austar Union Gross Domestic Product

Population: 574,000,000

Percentage of Budget Spent on Defense: 20%
Military Budget: $2,023,046,928,000

That is his budget Benicius.

Doujin, with all due respect I have seen Austar Union's budget and with a 1% taxation rate as of yesterday it is simply not possible to have a budget that size. Simple as that.

Benicius, the calculator does it by itself and just because income tax is 1% doesn't mean that all the government makes(with all due respect). The GDP calculator is approved for use by the Game Moderators and they say its fine; thus I say its fine.

Austar;
