Vercettia is proud to present...
The Vercettian Ground Military Storefront!

Click on the links for pictures and detailed information. Click on on "specs" for data such as height, weight, speed, etc.

ORDERS FROM NATIONS WITH POPULATIONS UNDER 50 MILLION WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED.

If you don't do your own math, a gratuity will be added onto the price of your order.

Before purchasing, please take a look at your nation's budget here. (http://members.fortunecity.com/thracetailteann/html/gnp.html)

Note: Vercettia is interested in purchasing any unique, non-RL weapon or tank design from another nation. We would manufacture it, and you would get royalties. Please send me a telegram if you are interested.



MAIN BATTLE TANKS

>Gauss Tank ------- $3,400,000
The Gauss tank has a special armament: the Gauss cannon. This device uses a series of electromagnets to accelerate a projectile at speeds of up to Mach 4.3. The barrel is about 7 meters long, and it is heavily soundproofed. The Gauss tank has a crew of 4.
The tank design is patented, copyrighted, trademarked, and otherwise owned by Vercettia.

>Sabra (http://www.army-technology.com/projects/sabra/index.html) ----------- $3,400,000 (specs) (http://www.army-technology.com/projects/sabra/specs.html)
The Sabra is a main battle tank that's built to last. Its main weapon, a 120mm smooth bore gun, is fitted with both a fume extractor and a thermal sleeve. This reduces wear, which in turn increases the lifetime of the tank as well as firing accuracy. For protection, the Sabra is equipped with an automatic fire and explosion suppression system, a threat warning system and smoke grenade launchers. The tank is also fitted with modular passive armour protection.


>Merkava 4 (http://www.army-technology.com/projects/merkava4/index.html) ------- $3,050,000 (specs) (http://www.army-technology.com/projects/merkava4/specs.html)
The Merkava 4 Main Battle Tank includes one of the most advanced fire control systems available. This firing system has advanced features including the capability to acquire and lock onto moving targets, even airborne helicopters, while the tank itself is on the move.
Merkava 4 tanks carry armor which protects against a range of threats, including air launched precision guided missiles and advanced and top attack anti-tank weapons. The underside of the hull has been fitted with additional armor protection against mines, and the interior of the tank has protection systems against contamination by NBC warfare.


>T90S (http://www.army-technology.com/projects/t90/index.html) ------------ $2,800,000 (specs) (http://www.army-technology.com/projects/t90/specs.html)
The T-90S' main armament is a 125mm 2A46M smoothbore gun which can fire a wide variety of ammunition, including APDS, HEAT, HE-FRAG, and shrapnel projectiles with time fuses.
The T-90 tank is protected by both conventional armour-plating and explosive reactive armor (ERA). It is fitted with a defensive aids system which includes infrared jammer, laser warning system with four laser warning receivers, grenade discharging system which produces an aerosol screen, and a computerized control system. It is also fitted with NBC protection equipment.


>M1A2 Abrams (http://www.army-technology.com/projects/abrams/index.html) ----- $2,900,000 (specs) (http://www.army-technology.com/projects/abrams/specs.html)
The M1A2 Abrams tank is a good all-around tank, with advanced systems in every area.




CRUISE MISSILES
>I.R.S. Missile ----------- $655,000
http://www.ndu.edu/nwc/nwcCLIPART/FOREIGN_MIL_EQUIPMENT/Weapons/RussianCruiseMissileSSN22.jpg
You are probably wondering what I.R.S. stands for. After all, "Internal Revenue Service" wouldn't make sense here, right? Wrong! It is said that only two things are certain in life: death and taxes. Well, this missile brings certain death as surely as the IRS brings taxes.
The I.R.S. missile is designed to hit distant, moving targets. It contains a laser guided, GPS-controlled target seeking system, and also carries an onboard computer. With the ability to determine enemy evasion patterns and/or blind spots, the computer can steer the missile in such a way so as to make it nearly unavoidable. It travels at high subsonic speeds, and has a range of about 140 miles.
This missile design is patented, copyrighted, trademarked, and otherwise owned by Vercettia.


>Tactical Tomahawk ------- $560,000
http://www.mediacen.navy.mil/pubs/allhands/dec01/32csm.jpg
The Tactical Tomahawk, the latest breakthrough in cruise missile technology, allows its operator to reprogram the missile while in-flight to strike one of 15 pre-programmed alternate targets or redirect the missile to any GPS target coordinates. It is also able to wait over a target area, and using its on-board camera, allows the commanders to assess target battle damage. The Tomahawk has a maximum range of about 1000 miles. Each missile flies at about 500 mph.


>Harpoon --------- $1,180,000
http://www.onwardoverland.com/tomahawk/weps/harpoon.jpg
The Harpoon is an anti-ship tracking missile. It flies just above the surface of the water, and at speeds just below the speed of sound. It carries a high explosive blast warhead of about 500 pounds. Its range exceeds 75 miles, and it can hit ground targets (although that isn't its primary function).


>AGM-88 HARM ------- $275,000
http://www.chinfo.navy.mil/navpalib/policy/vision/vis98/pg68-2.gif
This missile requires little input from crew. It automatically seeks (and destroys) radar arrays. It travels at Mach 1, and has a range of about 80 miles. It has a 150 blast fragmentation warhead.


>SLAM-ER --------$471,000
http://www.airpower.at/flugzeuge/weapon/agm-84slamer.jpg
The AGM-84K Standoff Land Attack Missile-Expanded Response, an evolutionary upgrade to the combat-proven SLAM, is an air-launched, day/night, adverse weather, long range, precision strike missile. This is one of the most accurate missiles in the world today. It has a range of above 150 miles, and travels at almost the speed of sound.




ARMORED FIGHTING VEHICLES
>Bradley M2 A3 (http://www.army-technology.com/projects/bradley/index.html) ----- $2,350,000 (specs) (http://www.army-technology.com/projects/bradley/specs.html)
The Bradley's primary job is to carry infantry into battle, and then to fight alongside them against enemy infantry and other vehicles.
The main armament is a 25mm M242 Bushmaster chain gun with a high rate of fire. To the right of the barrel for the chain gun is a 7.62mm machine gun, and to the left of the barrel is a TOW anti-tank missile system.


>Centauro Wheeled Tank Destroyer (http://www.army-technology.com/projects/centauro/index.html) ----- $2,400,000 (specs) (http://www.army-technology.com/projects/centauro/specs.html)
The Centaro Tank Destroyer is a reconnisance vehicle with powerful anti-tank weaponry. The 105mm, 52 caliber gun on its turret is supplemented with two 7.62mm machine guns and two 4-barrel smoke grenade launchers.
The Centauro is also a fast vehicle: it has a top speed of over 100 km/h.


>Dardo Hitfist (http://www.army-technology.com/projects/dardo/index.html) ----- $2,300,000(specs) (http://www.army-technology.com/projects/dardo/specs.html)
In addition to carrying six troops into battle, the Dardo has a 25mm automatic stabilized cannon, two 7.62mm machine guns, and two guided TOW anti-tank missile launchers.
Dardo Hitfist vehicles have quite a low profile, so they are not easy to spot with radar.


>Gepard (http://www.army-technology.com/projects/gepard/index.html) --- $1,800,000 (specs) (http://www.army-technology.com/projects/gepard/specs.html)
The role of the Gepard is to provide anti-air support. The turret has two 35mm automatic guns, but the Gepard's real weapons are the two Stinger SAM systems attached to the tank. The Gepard also comes with advanced radar systems meant to keep track of mobile aircraft in the sky.


>Vextra 105 (http://www.army-technology.com/projects/vextra/index.html) --- $1,570,000 (specs) (http://www.army-technology.com/projects/vextra/specs.html)
The main armament for the Vextra 105 is a 105mm low recoil gun, supplemented with a 7.62mm machine gun. The Vextra is intended for use as an infantry fighting reconnisance vehicle.
It has the Galix close defense system, which consists of four launchers for various types of support rounds on either side of the gun at the front of the vehicle and three on each side at the rear. Types of rounds include: instant smoke screen round, instant wide area smoke round (which also acts as an infared blocker), illumination round and infrared decoy round.

>Viking All-Terrain (http://www.army-technology.com/projects/viking/index.html) ----- $1,600,000 (specs) (http://www.army-technology.com/projects/ufh/specs.html)
The Viking isn't meant to come into contact with enemy troops. Rather, it carries 11 marines into battle. The Viking is fully amphibious, so it can propel itself like a boat in the water or it can drive on land. Although it normally has no self-defence weapons, it can be outfitted with a 12.7mm Browning heavy machine gun or a 7.62 general purpose machine gun.




ANTI-ARMOR MISSILES

>Spike-ER (http://www.army-technology.com/projects/gill/index.html) -- $50,000/launch system; $4,000/missile (specs) (http://www.army-technology.com/projects/gill/specs.html)

Zutroy, your order is denied.

You CANNOT order this kind of military force unless you have the money. I expect you will see this kind of response from anyone else you purchase from, but DON'T buy things on your first day of existance.

Excuse me, Vercettia, but I have a question. In your opening post you said "the design was copywrited, trademarked, etc. Were you referring to the Gauss cannon or the tank designs? The reason I ask is because what you are describing is a rail gun, and the concept is pretty widely used. Also, the name you chose for it is quite unoriginal. Battletech has been calling their rail guns Gauss Rifles for nigh on two decades, and even Starcraft got in on the act by calling the Terran Marine's weapon a gauss rifle. Sorry if I seem rude, but I just wanted to point that out.

What I actually meant was that you should specify whether the missiles can be launched from ships, planes, armored vehicles, subs or whatever. The infantry example was just an exaggeration, because I don't think people are generally that stupid.

- I dont think people are buying because you haven't gone for the flashy 10,000-images-on-the-first-page approach, and many people don't seem to 'get' the understated look. Also, your tanks section is a little hard to spot, hidden under your Gauss Tank blueprint... and tanks and planes being the things most NS players go for primarily, they ought to be the most clearly avalible.

Also, if you've got the time, offering package deals is probably the best way to get in the semi-serious buyer - i.e. the ones that want well-laid-out proper military groups but don't have the time or the know-how to design them themselves. Clan Smoke Jaguar has done it the best I've seen and he gets a stunning amount of business.

Hmmm... I didn't mean for it to come across as patronising as it might have sounded... I just meant that a lot of players simply buy tanks and planes with pretty pictures, heh... anti-aircraft equipment and advanced missiles aren't usually the main buys, so your storefront is more of a niche market... very good equipment for the technically-minded player - it's something not many people seem to cover specifically.

The State of It, your order is denied. You have spent too much money in other places recently, and you are too new a nation to afford this. We apologize for the inconvenience.


Kopparbergs, your order is confirmed, and will be shipped as soon as full payment is received.

The PRWE wants to place the following order:
-1000 Tommohawk Cruise Missiles worth 56 million
-50 Harpoons worth 59 million

That is if my calculations are correct
Vercettia
28-10-2004, 19:46
Warta Endor, your calculations are not correct. The cost for 1000 tomahawks is $560 million, not $56 million. Therefore, your total cost would be $619 million.

Your order is confirmed, but you may rescind or change it because of the computational error.
