Take note, I aquired this army when I was a n00b, and only participated in 1 RP. Since then, I have avoided NationStates and International Incidents like the plague. So, here it is.



Armor
150 Leopard Tanks
5 Arctic Wolf Tanks

Infantry
100,000 BMI CR-04A1 Assault Rifles
1000 Yargin Pistols
100,000 Swiss Army Knives

Air Power
72 F-15e and F-16 fighters
1 Sea King VIP Helicopter

Navy
100 Visby Class Corvettes
10 Los Angeles Class Attack Subs
1 Elessar Class Supercarrier
100 F-14 Tomcats (on the carrier)
1 Command Ship
1 Hospital Ship
1 Tall Ship Frigate (for my military museum)


Budget
Spent on Armor=$25,500,000
Spent on Navy=$33,155,000,000
Spent of Infantry=$21,850,000
Spent of Air Force=$210,000,000

Total spent=$33,422,350,000

126,253.20= money spent on RMC-A

You need a bigger navy. I'm two months younger than you and the navy I am on a payment plan for could wipe yours out. I would also reccomend more infantry... and MAYBE more tanks... I personally don't buy tanks...

I'd get some Endoplanes, or whatever they're called. I forget who sells them, but find out what the name is and search for it. I have to say, thirty of those could take down a Doujin EASY, and for much much less.

Ekranoplanes? Wing-in-ground effect? They couldn't easily take down a Doujin, though, seeing as they'd be using normal anti-ship armament such as torpedoes.

You're leaving much too much out in your defense budget. For example, logistics and such. If you're going to list how many swiss army knives you have (we generally don't), you should also be listing how many trucks, repair vehicles, humvees, etc.

You don't need to keep track of numbers like this; only for large products such as tanks and aircraft and major combat ships and their logistical counterparts (supply ships and tankers and such)...you should be in good position to create a pretty well sized army....just dont overdo the stat emphasis.

Don't you DARE start a trend ;) II is clogged up enough as it is.

You need a bigger military all around. 150 MBTs. Only a 100,000 soldiers. I'm a May nation too and I have a military thats maybe five or six times larger than that. You need more men in your army and more Tanks, I suggest Greys Hill he has nice packages. You need a larger navy that is barely a carrier strike force in almost 95% of all other NS Navies. And most of all I would say for you to increase your air force. You need it their and all the other places. Get some bombers. Your an intirely fighter air force you need to change that. All in all you need to invest alot more money into your armed forces or some other nations troops will be marching through your capital. I think Brazil has a larger army than you. You need to expand immediately. With an army, navy and airforce that small you couldn't fight off any well prepared army from a new nation with 5 million people.

Ekranoplanes, there we go. Well, the Aquadragons, thirty of them, with the torpedos aiming at the midship, could take a Doujin out. Trust me.

Assuming the torpedoes all strike admiships, yes that would work. It would open a significant hole and the ship would crash in on itself, essentially.

That's why I have, I believe, 1,000 of them. I might have gotten more. For navy-destroying.

Your naval aircraft armament is very lopsided. You have no ELINT aircraft, no helos, no E2-C Hawkeyes (or similar planes), no surface-attack fighters (ie Hornets), no tankers, no transports, etc. You should only have about 50 fighters or so on the carrier and the rest should be logistical or specialized aircraft.
