To the head of Estacado Electronics;

The Republic of Mac Cumhail would like to submit an order for 36 of your All Purpose Vehicles with which to equip our Republican Black Watch Battalion, the very best of our national military, as we prepare to bring their capabilities fully into the modern era.

As for specifics, we wish to aquire the following configurations (as well as their conversion information);

24 APCs
2 Command Vehicles
4 Reconnaisance Vehicles
6 Anti Tank Vehicles

We believe that this will require sixty three million dollars.

We eagerly anticipate your response.

Dear sirs:

We are interested in a sharing of technology with your great nation. See our APV's here (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=356996&page=1). We are extremely interested in your tracked mobility system and the modularity of your design.

Sincerely,
Gen. Jack T. Ripper,
CEO, W.M.D. Inc.

We would be happy to oblige. I see your system is based on the American STRYKER ILVs. We can talk more on the specifications if you wish. The matierials, coputers, and the thing that make the APV what it is. If you need to know anything we can perhaps exchange information equally.

Sincerely,
Lt Gen Marcone Tuardaug

Dear Lt. Gen Tuardaug

We are more than willing to exchange information on an equal basis. We appreciate your willingness to consider this information exchange and as a show of good faith, we would like to invite you to visit Mauiwowee and the W.M.D. production facilities to discuss our production techniques and designs and discuss the exhange of information, all expenses paid of course, for you and your design and production entourage. We look forward to a mutually profitable venture.

We also note your correct reference to the STRYKER as the basis for our designs. We do anticipate, however, that you have also noted our significant improvements on the original design. The tandem BMW engines, for example, are a work of sheer genius on the part of our engineers in our estimation.

We look forward to your reply and visit from you in the near future.

Sincerely,
Gen. Jack T. Ripper

OOC: I do like your designs and the tracked idea for real. I also though, must agree with some of the earlier comments in this thread about the weight being just a little too light and the overall size vs. the number of turrents for the attack vehicles being just a little too high. extending the length and width might do the trick though. Just a thought. Thanks for the reply. Lets get rich as the #1 suppliers of this type of vehicle in NS. IDF has its shipyards, lets create the #1 supplier of APV's

I accept your invitation and would love to see the production facilities. We would like to send an invitation for you to see our production facilities as well. Here are some of the specifications on the treds and engine capability:

The engine is a Cummins VTA-903T diesel V-8 600 HP engine. It can get to speeds up to 60mph (extremely fast for any armored vehicle) and can out manuver just about any other armored vehicle due to a computerized motor system. Te driver actaully doesn't control every aspect of the vehicle, he just turns the steering wheel in the direction he wants to go bu the computer actaully makes the turning movements and corrects the turn to be persise and swift. It has 5 layers of armor each with its own purpose.
-High hard steel structure
-MEXAS ceramic layer
-Spall liner
-IBD passive RPG add-on
-GFE/ASIOE
It has the ability to survive most RPG attacks except for those that are within 5 meters of the vehicle, thats too close for it to completely escape harm though there is still a good chance of survival. Extra armor on the bottom of the vehicles makes it resistant to mines. All the armor is a lightweight composite so the vehicle is not as heavy as your average armored vehicle. It has a 16 wheel hydropneumatic independent with a height management system capably of reducing or increasing pressure in the suspension for each wheel depending upon the terrain they cover.

*Note: Numbers varry slightly from the different types, but it is never too far off.

What we would really be interested in is the specifications of you vehicle so we may better improve ours.

Sincerely,
Lt Gen Marcone Tuardaug

Ive corrected the weight and size problems but the deminsions under the Basic Chassis Specifications are the vehicle without any modifications or turrents. It has similar deminsions as the STRYKER but the deminsions are actually larger than the M3 Bradley fighting vehicle. So I think its plenty big enough. I might later add the deminsions and weight for each of the different APVs besides just the basic chassis. The height of the average APV with a turrent on top will probably be about 140 inches instead of 104.

OOC: Sorry, I looked at the TG and forgot to check the thread. I hope this is not too late. I'll accept your weight and size problem corrections. The cummins v-8 engines design is also nice. Our tandem BMW engines are designed to provide full time drive to the rear 4 of our 8 "run flat" tires and, when engaged, the 8 wheel drive puts the other motor to work on the front 4. The idea being that in 4 wheel drive, manuevaribility is good, but with rear wheel drive, speed is outstanding. this makes for fast deployment and also for good life saving stats. for the medical versions. On the other hand, when 8 wheel drive is involved, almost any territory is subject to attack and while speed drops, combat usefulness is enhanced.

Dear Sir:

Your willingness to exchange design teams is appreciated. Quarters for your personnel at W.M.D., Inc. have been arranged and clearance for their entrance into Mauiwowee at the W.M.D. private air strip has been arranged. Our team will be standing by to return to The Republic of Llano Estacado to observe your techniques. Thank you, lets all get rich :)

sincerely,
Gen. Jack T. Ripper

My plane has been fueled and I'm departing Llano Estacado International Airport in 20 minutes. I will arrive shortly.
