I needed an economy booster, somewhat, so I was elated to see the software giant issue. Well, in short, my economy went up from 'Good' to 'Thriving.' That translates into $190 billion more to spend, today, close of this NS year.

Tank contract is coming up. Sell me anything. Helicopters, transports/reconaissance, ships galore, et cetera...

Anything you want. I had another thread which I will refer to, but I thought I'd give people a reason for my sudden new spree.

Our nation's primary storefront has long since shut down, and much of our technology was lost in the recent invasion, however we still have a small supply of Br-32 Archeological units. Approximitly eleven feet high, the Br-32 is designed to allow researchers to explore treacherous areas in reletive safety. Its made of a weaker metal, and is not in any way suited for combat however, if that is your intention. Each of the Br-32's arms are mounted with a diffrent tool, such as shovels and welding equipment, and custom tool setups are supported. We have less than 20 remaining, but would be willing to sell them for 1.5 million a piece, a vast reduction of their former price.

The money has been accounted for, and the order prepared for shipping, they will be arriving by air transport over the course of approximatly a week.

"The Holy Empire wishes to know if you require anything AI based."

"Such as mobile vending machines to better serve your people...?"

"We are not desperate for money. We simply wish to give a boost to reconstruction projects."

A machine walks behind the diplomat, holding up a sign reading "Bull."

The diplomat AI turns and makes a growling sound. "It seems someone wants to be made into a coffee table... Any buyers?"

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 any country within the URAP can produce. 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 high velocity smooth bore main cannon firing a depleted uranium or tungsten projectile shrouded in a sabot.
1 anti-personal 5.56 NATO minigun mounted on turet.
1 anti-motorized thermal targeted missile system.
cost: around 7 million per unit
2 MG42K1 anti-personal machine guns, one mounted on hull front, one on hull rear
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. as you can see, this tank has no designation as of yet. I thought Id leave it up to the other nation of URAP. As I said, ill finish the discription of the tank if theres want from other URAP members. production has already started in Das Uber-Deutschaland, other nations are encouraged to follow, as production rights to this tank are free to any nation within the URAP. I ask only for your numbers, and your commitment to the defense of Das Uber-Deutschland, or any other URAP nation for that matter, if we are attacked.

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. 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.

*Discounts only for NNA Member

650 MPH? No tank, not even a hover tank can go that fast.
The limit is roughly 100mph. And those tanks don't tend to last so long due to weak armor and weaponry.

I have everything except tanks.

Please have a look here for the complete list.

Order Confirmed for the aircraft by the way.
