California would like to purchase 50,000 Arca IV Nakil 1A2 MBT's for $450,000,000,000 which may be followed by a second order of the same series... or possibly your 1A3 if and when developed.

Regarding the Nakil 1A2

The Nakil 1A2 is not being exported internationally, except to pre-destined nations. Like inferred, these nations have already been chosen. These are - Hailandkill, Mer des Ennuis, Willink, Allanea, Franberry and Space Union. Apart from that, the 1A2 is completely a domestic tank, meant for domestic purposes. You can't expect the creator using the same tank as everyone else now, can you? :P

OOC: SEA, the list should be completely updated, except concerning 1A2s, which I'm still working out.

Communique to Ulashar Totaim, Uldarious

We're glad that Uldarious has decided to equip its armed services with the Nakil 1A1 main battle tank, and we are glad that Uldarious has chosen the path of indigenous production - it takes much pressure off our own factories which are already busy producing these tanks for the rest of the world. Over a million tanks in a time space of ten years is not easy! The Uldarian version of the tank will be known as the Nakil 1A1UL; at least to Kriegzimmer - any upgrade programs will be donated by the addition of an intiger; for example, the first upgrade will be known as the Nakil 1A1UL Mk. II. The final agreement has been settled at production for 280,000 Nakil tanks and replacements.

Response to Otagia

Thank you for stopping by Kriegzimmer, again; we're glad that you have taken an interest in the Nakil main battle tank. Unfortunately, the 1A2 is not being offered for wide export, and therefore the version sold will have to be the 1A1. Not to worry, however, because Kriegzimmer has its clients in mind - the 1A1 will see an upgrade some time in the future, after the release of the 1A2, which will bring it close to 1A2 level. In any case, the order has been confirmed for 51,720 tanks.

[OOC: I was refering to the Broadsword-Tizona tanks, not the Arca IV tanks. After all, Athiesism did buy some prior to entering the War of Golden Succession in late 2016....and Sovereign California, you can however, buy the Arca IV 1A1.....not as top-notch, but a formidable tank nevertheless.]

OOC: Is your list of Nakil purchasers based on the people who BOUGHT Nakils or those who operate them?

Because I also bought 300,000 1A1's to give to my allies...

That list is of people who have purchased it. I don't cover second-hand sales because it will give a false impression of total amount of tanks produced for export.

Well, the Nakíl 1A2 is being pushed back given that I don't have access to my documents.

Cheap advertisement - http://modernwarstudies.net/index.php

Not really relevant to the thread. :P

Good, now edit the Nakil 1A1 purchasers list... I'm supposed to be on it... with 300,000 Nakils...

Well, that makes over 2 million produced for export.

Alright then, considering that the 1A2 is not for sale, California would like to purchase 300,000 Arca IV Nakil 1A1 MBT's for $2,700,000,000,000 which may be followed by a second order of 200,000 of the same series... or possibly your when you decide to sell the 1A2 series for export I may buy 200k of them instead. I am slightly disappointed though that the 1A2 series is not available for foreign markets because California would very likely become a major business partner of yours, but if the 1A1 series is all that can be offered we will be happy with that.

I really apologize! I seriously did not see your post. Are you still interested?

Interested in the 1A1 or the 1A2? If this is in reference to the 1A2 then yes, if not, then still... yes.

[OOC: Unfortunately, just the 1A1, but there will be an upgrade released for the 1A1 for only some people which will bring it close to 1A2 standards. It will be greenlighted for you - that makes three on the list. So, your 300,000 1A1s can be upgraded after production and during production.]

Thank you for your purchase. Unfortunately, as we have said, the Nakíl 1A2 is only cleared for six nations, and so no further exports can take place until it is cleared for general release - which will not be anytime soon. Your order has been confirmed. If you would like, and if your industry is up for it, you can produce both orders indigenously. Our 1A1 industry has been slowly turned towards the production of the 1A2, and several foreign factories have been closed after the closing of Kriegzimmer. It would probably be much faster if you produced all 500,000 tanks yourself - and cheaper; each model would ultimately be sold for less (maybe at around $6.5 million per model). What do you think?

Thank you for your patience,

Imperial Armaments

So, how would I go about building them here within California? Because I think we can put our heads together and make a model of the 1A1 that can be a kind of mediary between the 1A1 and the 1A2 designed specifically in mind for service in the Californian Imperial Armed Forces.

Basically, you pay for a per tank contract - to be paid over a series of years - and you indigenously produce these tanks at your own pace. Everything used in the 1A1 now is open to everyone for home production, including spare parts.

So how much would a contract cost to build the 1A1 indigenously within California?

So how much would a contract cost to build the 1A1 indigenously within California?

For 500,000 tanks I say it would be around $4.5 million per tank - a total of $2.25 trillion.

Also, how much time do you spend on AIM, because we could move this along alot quicker if you and I could talk. Unfortunately, for me Spring Break won't end until Friday of this week, and I won't be able to use the computers over at my university until then. But after Saturday I will be able to use them until 11pm MST.

On Saturday could you be online sometime around 3:30 MST? my AIM contact is Ryuko Kotani.

So... $2.25 trillion on top of $2.7 trillion, or just the $2.25 trillion?

Anyways, my time is up in less than two minutes... so we can talk about this maybe tomorrow.

I don't really use AIM - when I'm on, I'm always on IRC though. Where did the $2.7 trillion come from? It would just be $2.25 trillion, total.

In exports alone, this tank (both models) has seen production fifty times greater than the T-34. Buyers, pat yourselves on the back. ;) I have a feeling that this tank will see millions more once upgrades are made available.

A general improvement will be released after it's written. What kind of improvements would you like to be seen done? This improvement is a general improvement - a different improvement will be done for other customers.

The Animarnia Government would like to put in a Pre-order for 100,000 Nakill N1A1U Models; and a further 10,200 Upgrade packs for the Nakills we already have in service.

We widely regard the Nakill as the best tank in the world and are honoured to continue to use Macarbee tanks for our frontline armour.

I rather not take orders right now - the orders will take on a separate thread. And thank you for your compliments. I'll try to get the upgrade written-up as soon as possible.

Aye; just letting you know you have business for the 1AU when its released

[ooc:]hey Mac I realized that I never put the order in for the nakil 1ahk. I was going to immediatly after you released it but was busy in rl. So can I order it now and use fluid time to cite the buying time as earlier?

Go for it.

OOC: Just wondering Mac, when will the A2 be out officially, or can i order now and use the short write up on the draftrooms? Also any ideas on 1AU's release? No rush, i'm just interested.

1A2's export quota has been filled - no more exports will be made. The only tanks available will be the 1A1U and the 1A1GU. The 1A1U will only be out on a limited basis, and you're one of the people it will be exported to (or your tanks simply upgraded). The 1A1GU will be available to anymore and one of the aims is to export it as a tank within itself to people who did use the Nakíl 1A1 previously.

[OOC: Bleh, I am super tired right now. Do you care whether or not I order IC'ly or OOC'ly? If you want me to post IC'ly when it comes to purchasing the Nakil I will do it later, but if not, throw me down for 250,000 1A1HKs.]

This is good enough.

OOC: Just letting you know i just bought 195,000 nakils from Allanea, bringing my total up to 395,000. Currently im not sure what im going to do with all of them, it is quite possible i will sell them on to allies or as part of aid packages but i don't know yet.

The list totals are only for purchases from me - not resales.

OOC: Its more of a heads up so you know i might upgrade them, but also as the front page has had notices about hataria buying etc. No biggy, im pretty happy with my tank forces now :)

To Whom it May Concern

Greetings, esteemed employees of the Kriegzimmer Conglomerate. I have been personally authorized by the High Emperor of Kolvokia to procure one hundred examples of the impressive Arca IV Nakíl/Nakíl I Main Battle Tank. Given that our country is, as such things are reckoned, still rather small, we wish to inquire as to the possibility of making the payment over a number of years. Current projections indicate that the ideal number of years for this plan would be three.

We look forward to doing business with you. Until then;

A hopeful costumer

Re: Nakíl 1A1

Thank you for taking interest in the Nakíl 1A1! It is rather unfortunate that Kriegzimmer has been closed - most likely indefinitely -, although now sales will be managed by Atmos. Your order has been confirmed, and we understand the situation your nation is in. For that reason a payment plan of three years is perfectly acceptable. That said, it will take less than a month to complete production of one hundred Nakíl 1A1s and these will be shipped shortly thereafter.

Thank you for your business and kindness,

We thank you for your kind words, Mr. Curza. We are honored to have an order placed by such a respected nation. Of course, the order has been confirmed without any need for bureaucracy and such. The one thousand (1,000) tanks have been confirmed. Does Gataway have an indigenous tank production plant? Our 1A1 production is, unfortunately, rather low, although will increase when the upgrades are released in the future, and so prefer if our clients produced their own armor. However, because this order is relatively smaller we can still produce it in due time - it would take around four weeks to manufacture and deliver.

In the end, we will do it however you find fit. Thank you for your business,

To: Atmos Inc.
From: Harald Gustav, Secretary of Defense, Chevrokian Republic

We have heard much about your company and would like to congragulate you on the substantial sales of the Nakíl main battle tank and its variations. It is quite evident you are very successful in the area of modern land warfare systems.

One area we are looking to improve in is that of large-caliber field artillery, that is, over 200mm in caliber. The few pieces we have in this category are, to say the least, positively outdated and have been outranged by substantially smaller pieces of newer manufacture. Additionally, they are not easy to reposition, require a large crew to operate, and and becoming increasingly difficult to maintain due to age.

Thus, we have become rather interested in the 240mm recoilless howitzer of the TXI.76 André. Under the current doctrine of our Army and Marines, many strategic land warfare vehicles have been based off of the same chassis (M125) to reduce logistical issues and more importantly, costs; main battle tanks, surface-to-air missile launchers, mobile anti-aircraft guns, and so on. This would preclude us from purchasing the full TXI.76 system, as it would complicate logistics in operational use. However, this does not restrict us from purchasing systems that could be mounted on the existing chassis.

So, to specify our request, we are interested in the possibility of mating the 240mm howitzer and loading system of your TXI.76 with our M125 tank chassis. Dimensionally, our original M125 tank is similar in length and height to the Nakíl 1A1, and is somewhat wider and heavier. Given our procurement situation we feel this would be, if possible, the best option for a new large-caliber artillery piece in our inventory.

We wait for your response.


Sincerely,

Harald Gustav
Secretary of Defense
The Chevrokian Republic

From: Atmos Inc.
Re: TXI.76

We're glad that the Chevrokian Republic has deemed our artillery piece satisfactory for use in their armed forces! Given that your tank has similar or greater dimensions than our chassis, we don't think it would be a problem to mount the 240mm gun and autoloader on another chassis. However, minor modification to the carriage, and what not, would be required. Nevertheless, this should not impede the use of the 240mm piece on your own chassis. Furthermore, your chassis will have to go through similar modifications as ours, including the protection of the rear by using steel blast plates (to protect against the blast of the recoilless gun). However, as said before, none of these required modifications should impede the use of the gun - and they are modifications that would be necessitated by the importation of any tank based artillery piece.

Atmos Inc. can allow the production rights to the 240mm recoilless gun, and the defense industries of the Chevrokian Republic can take it upon themselves to produce the gun and mount it in their own factories. Production is allowable as quickly as you can begin it yourself.

If the Armed Forces, or yourself, have a separate request please, by all means, specify. We are open ears!

RE: TXI.76

This proposal is quite acceptable, and we would be certainly capable of license-producing the 240mm gun and its related hardware. The funds to cover the production license have been made available through the usual channels.

This transaction has been most satisfactory, and we are quite pleased to be able to acquire new large-caliber field artillery without having to go through expensive development and testing processes. We will be sure to think of Atmos Inc. in the future for our land warfare needs.


Sincerely,

Harald Gustav

(OOC: Would you at all mind if I used your howitzer drawing in a drawing with my tank chassis? It probably will be modified some, but I'd be sure to give original credit for the gun to you.)

We see no point to these tanks. They appear to be made of metal, so thus cannot hold boiling oil to be dumped on top of enemy attackers without severely blistering the hands of my Immortal Legions; the tube for pouring the liquid within out is not only too large to position properly, but leads away at the wrong angle; the tank is too heavy to lift; its internal space is not large enough to hold even more clean water than our large barrels do; not to mention, it is costly. We are not sure what a million is, but we certainly don't even have one or two of them, let alone nine.

*aide murmurs in the Potentate's ear*

... What, you say? This is not a holding tank, but a kind of... metal ballista? So you tell me then, where do they keep the rocks? --There aren't any rocks? What a pointless invention. These newfangled metal ballistas are ridiculous. Next you'll be telling me they have metal birds, too.

Official Marine and Army Purchase Order
Upon hearing from the Silver Sky that this tank is indeed the best on the market, The Peoples Freedom would like to purchase 100,000 of these tanks for our armed forces. The total comes to 900,000,000,000. These can be produced locally if need be, if your factories are overloaded. We would also like to purchase enough replacement parts to replace each tank's parts three times, and also, one billion RAKE Ammunitions as well as the others mentioned. We are not sure how much this is, but we will pay the price.

Re: Nakíl 1A1

We're glad that The Silver Sky is putting in such honorable plugs for us! If we were to give an opinion we would also say ours is the best in the world - but, of course, we are partly the manufacturers. In any case, the order has been confirmed. Our factories are not really overloaded, as much as the fact that some have been sold back to their previous owners and the rest have been switched over to the production of the Nakíl 1A2 (not for sale), or are preparing to be switched over to the production of the Nakíl 1A1GU (an upgrade which will come out in the future). So yes, we do prefer that our customers produce the tanks themselves. Given the existence of the 1A2 all replacement parts can now be license produces in countries of use - making replacement parts easier to come by, as well.

That said, thanks for your business and thank you for your kind words.

State Department Communication

We thank Atom very much for allowing this order. We also further thank you for allowing the licensing of the replacement parts and ammunition. We look forward to buying the upgraded version or the NakilA2 if/when that is available.

Uldarious will also apply for the Nakil upgrade as soon as it is available. But we question, what will be the extent of these upgrades and how will they compare with the A1A2?
It appears an extra four-hundred and forty thousand Nakil will be required, we hope this is acceptable, at the going rate of seven and a half million Universal Standard Dollars this translates to some three-trillion three-hundred billion USD.
We understand this is a quite sizeable order, but we appreciate the hard work your nation has put into this design and we have recently expanded and increased the mechanisation of our military.

Welcome! We're glad that you have taken an interest in the Nakíl 1A1! Your order, of course, has been confirmed. Will Azaha be manufacturing a large number of their own tanks? Normal rate of manufacture by Kriegzimmer for any one country is ~2,500 at this current time (with our expanded tank factories), meaning if Azaha will not manufacture some of their tanks, the order will be completed within 54 months. The rest of the order can be fulfilled within four to five months, easily.

Kriegzimmer already produced a long range surface to air missile system (Praetorian II), although it wouldn't be difficult to manufacture indigenously the Nakíl 1A1 chassis for an indigenous air defense system.

At this point, Lost Hills is undergoing a reorganization of military doctrine and organization. In this regard, the Defense Department would be interested in looking into upgrading our existing Arca IVs to the 1A1U or 1A1GU. An expansion of our existing units to 7,500 units would be desirable as well.

Very interested to hear your thoughts on this.

The upgrades have been renamed 1A3 and 1A3+ (only sold to limited customers). They haven't been finished yet.

You may want to wait. Brand-new 1A3s will have stronger armor than upgraded 1A1s because the armor will be integrated, as opposed to added on.

So... wait, you're now building a new Nakíl 1A3? Would that mean that the Arca Nakíl 1A2 will be up for sale soon? I would appreciate having the Californian Imperial Military listed among your clientele, however if this would seem a bit on the side of improbablilty, then I appreciate the level of business we have been having with each other and look forward to conducting more business with you in the not too distant future.

This is a wonderful point, and we look forward to conducting further business with you.

OOC: Mac, if an A3's coming would it be possible for me to be on the accept list if your exporting? My A1's are fine and all but if an A3 comes out i'd have to stick a 130mm gun on mine to take out any A3's lol.

But seriously if you will be making A3s then i'd love to buy them or buy a modified A2 license to build a factory upgrade in line with the A3 :).

We want 3500 of each

Each? I guess confirmed.

------

The Nakíl 1A3 is a general upgrade for the Nakíl 1A1, so it will be up for general export. #draftroom people will be able to purchase the Nakíl 1A3+. Basically, the upgrade brings the tank closer to the standards of the 1A2. I will probably start on this week, as I finish the TAM upgrade for pimp my tank.

Sealed letter to Atmos Incorporated

Greetings freinds of The Golden throne, it is with pleasure I contact you regarding a buisness transaction today. Due to current production issues with the MCA-7B series our Igimekalam has begun taking the more numerous MCA-3s from the Erimkalam to build it's numbers up. As a result of this and the difficulties with the development of the MCA-8 to replace the aging MCA-3s we have been forced to look elsewhere to restock the Erimkalam numbers. Because of our rather limited openness to the international community, Kriegzimmer has quickly been decided as the best choice for us to bolster our needs through. We feel that the Nakil series of vehicle will provide an equal standing vehicle with our latest MCA3 upgrades and the upcommong MCA-8, and as such would like to make the beginnings of a potential purchase. The Nakil 1A2 would be our first choice for purchase if it is avalible to us, however we would require some modifications to the design to accomodate our logistical needs. Below is a list of modifications we would require for reference. I hope to continue these discussions to see the avalibility for purchase.

Powerplant:
- We would require the powerpack system of the vehicle to accomodate the DO66-2S99 series of engine, a detuned version of the DO086-2S99 that powers the MCA-7B, to bring it into our logistical fold. Such modifications would undoubtable require the installation of water tanks and lines for the engine, and as such we are willing to have up to one third the fuel storage capacity internally transformed into distilled water storage.

Armament:
- Again, to comply with our logistical concernes, we would require the main gun, along with required hardware supporting systems such as the loading system, changed for our Type-3650 115L60 115mm smoothbore tank gun. The autoloader installed in the Nakil can be retained if compatability with the two piece ammunition required is avalible, as we trust it would be.
- We require the coaxial and commanders machine gun stations to be modified to accecpt out AG-12 7.5mm machine gun, again for logistical reasons.
- While we have great admiration for your APS systems, we believe we do not need it, and will instead be installing our own Enlil system.

We trust these would not be too major for modifications. I would hope the required order of 100,000 units would not be hard to come by, and provided we find it accecptable in service it may find a future in the Erimkalam. We have the $900,000,000,000 USD avalible pending further negotiations if required.

Re: Nakíl 1A1 modified to Nakíl 1A1? [1AS?]

We're honored that your military has decided that the Nakíl was the best available option to supplement your armor corps until enough indigenous tanks were produced to fulfill your armed forces' entire goal. Despite the fact the tanks are for your second rate troops, we'll look at it as a compliment given that the contract could have been given to anybody else regardless. That said, the order is more likely than confirmed and we will address the specific changes requested during this return telegram.

Several changes can be made easily. These include the ability to mount the indigenous 115mm gun, as well as allow the mounting of a 7.5mm machine gun as the co-axial - the commander's gun will be even easier to modify. Fortunately, the manufacture of brand-new machines will allow for easier modifications of certain things, including the co-axial's port diameter. And, of course, the Giod Mk. I hard-kill system will not be included. We assume that the guns will be fitted at home, and not at our factories. In regards to the engine compartment's modifications, one of the rear fuel cells (about a fourth of the fuel) will be eliminated to increase the volume available for the diesel engine.

The sole issue is redesigning the autoloader to allow for the use of two-piece ammunition. Currently, the autoloader is designed to push one round into a robotic loading arm and the inclusion of a system that could push both the round and the charge would be overly complex (for our specific type of autoloader, currently in use both in the A1 and the A2). The best solution, right now, seems to be using a smaller version of the existing autoloader to fit your ammunition's charges and then use a cassette around the turret ring (the ring is large enough to fit a larger turret to accommodate a 140mm gun - so size should not be an issue) to fit the larger first-piece of the ammunition. The displaced electronics would have to be installed on your own, with your own electronics, and other systems that may have been misplaced will be moved to the now partly unoccupied turret bustle.

Hopefully, this will provide a solution to our problems. If there is an order of 100,000, with the modifications intended (including the lack of production of certain parts) each tank can be sold for around $8.9 million universal standard dollars. The entire order would come out to $890 billion. In regards to production capabilities, although much of the production was outsourced Kriegzimmer and Kriegzimmer partner companies can easily produce at a rate of around 1,600-1,700 tanks per month (production spread over a total of around five to six factory complexes, which are split into other factories) for your nation, successfully completing the order within five years.

We hope all of this is adequate.

Re: Nakíl Order

In regards to the 500 tanks, the order has been confirmed. If you would like to produce these indigenously that's fine. In regards to general production rights we do not offer them. We offer limited production rights to our MBT. Specifically, you will order from us how many you wish to construct and you have the right to construct these (it's mostly to keep track of total sales). Since the inception of the Nakíl 1A2 into the local army all subcomponents of the Nakíl 1A1 have been allowed construction in nations of foreign use - so, there should be no problems with that.

In regards to changing systems you may do as you wish to make a version more suited for your nation's use. Everything that is mentioned in the brochure comes standard with the design.

As per Northern Calaveras, 500 tanks is $450 billion. I agree with TPF, that is a simple calculation. As far I am concerned I saw no order, just asking for the price. Kriegzimmer, however, accepts most (if not all) orders.

Follow up order

I hope you do not dread reading this latest corespondence as it will be quite a hefty order. We have been pleased with the Nakil thus far, our Naval Infantry units have taken an especially strong liking to it's light weight and ease of use from landing craft. Thusly, to supply the retrofitting of Naval Infantry medium and heavy tank units, as well as various other units we wish to outfit with this vehicle, as well as reserve numbers as we are forced to retire long obsolete units from reserve, we would like to place an order for a further 300,000 Nakil 1AS, the same model which we recently purchased.
We do not require these units very quickly, so if your production facilities are needed to fulfill another order then by all means do. As these will primarily be used to re equip Naval Infantry armoured units or to equip new units, they can wait.
Once again I would like to personally pass on the positive attitudes of our units currently being equipped with the Nakil, as they have found it quite freindly to use. We look forward to potentially keeping these in service for quite some time, at least for quite a while as the MCA-8 program gets underway.
Thusly, an order for a further 300,000 Nakil 1AS should come to $ 2,670,000,000,000, using the figures from our last transaction. You may produce and deliver at your leisure, we are in no rush. And it has again been a pleasure doing buisness with you.

In Regards to the Nakil

As our naval infantry and Territorial Guard find the Nakil's we procured quite to their liking, we are looking towards the future with them. Recent interest, especially within the navy, has come about regarding the Nakil 1A1+, and we would like to present our interest in the purchase of them. Our current Nakil 1AS variants are preparing for an upgrade program where we will be fitting the turret of the MCA-7C to the chassis, and as a result will have a signifigant excess of Nakil 1A1 turrets for scrap, and would like to offer them back to you as scrap as part of any potential payment plan for Nakil 1A1+ vehicles if they are avalible.
We are currently looking to preorder one hundred thousand if avalible, cost should not be an issue, and we will be fully capable of producing eighty thousand of the units ourselves. Simmilar modifications to componants of the 1AS would of course be nessecary, but we feel it is worth it for such a fine medium weight chassis.
So, is this a viable deal for when the new variant comes out?

Good day, although it has been some time now, you may remember that you had offered the Nakil main battle tank in our Request for Proposals. Unfortunately, we had already sealed the deal on one hundred MCA-7C tanks from another entity. These tanks, at the time, were deemed to be the perfect tank to fulfill the corresponding role within our Defense Forces. However, at the time, we were unaware of the Nakil, and its variants. On further exploration, we have realized that the perfect tank for our purposes lies somewhere between the two. If given the choice between the MCA-7C and Nakil, we would likely have chosen the Nakil, primarily due to the electronics and armament bonus and because we only require a relatively few amount of tanks for our defense forces (currently, one hundred units) which would negate the cost factors involved.

Unfortunately, we have already purchased the one hundred MCA-7C Timber Wolf tanks and our budget does not allow us to procure any more. We do, however, have set aside a certain amount to upgrade the tanks when those upgrades are required. This upgrade fund was to begin accumulating funds in the last budget, and has started; however, there is not a sizeable amount in there to immediately pay for an upgrade. Thus, we wish to offer a proposal.

We understand the inherent differences between the MCA-7C and Nakil, but we wish to inquire if it is possible to upgrade the MCA-7C’s armament and electronics package to the standard found on the Nakil. We are willing to pay for a Kriegzimmer or other corporate entity to determine the feasibility of such an option. If it is possible, or financially feasible, to swap out the armament (or derivatives, as if the original Nakil main gun and associated systems will not work, a derivative modified will), we are willing to pursue the upgrade program in a stepped program beginning with the combat and associated electronics before progressing to the main gun with payment spread over a period of time which will allow our upgrade fund to pay for the project. We are only looking to upgrade the electronics and armament (and we would prefer the most advanced models as possible, as long as they are cleared for export), as we prefer the MCA-7C’s armor and powerplant technologies heavily over those available in the Nakil.

In the event the swap program is financially unfeasible or otherwise undoable, we would then ask whether the Nakil is capable of accepting the MCA-7C’s Guarita DO66-2S99 engine and associated power transmission systems. If this option is the more feasible of the two, we will offer additional requirements which we will need employed on the modified Nakil.

Thank you for your consideration. I would also like to respectfully remind you of our Request for Proposals as Kriegzimmer has been chosen to fulfill a number of the contracts and that we await your confirmation so that we may begin to fully outfit our Defense Forces (especially since Kriegzimmer has been chosen to supply a number of small arms, so that we may replace the underpowered Model Six PDWs as our current service firearm as we upgrade from a primarily police force to a true Defense Force).

Re: Possible MCA-7C Upgrade

We understand why the MCA-7C was 'chosen over' the Nakíl 1A1. Admittedly, the MCA-7C is a very well tuned main battle tank and was not a poor choice. That said, the envisioned upgrades are possible. In terms of electronics what exactly is required? The Cornerstone II fire control system [FCS] can be easily integrated into the MCA-7C; it would just require an exchange of the current fire control system. Any other changes to the electronics, including targeting devices, should be easily integrated, as well. In terms of main armament we offer three for export:

- AGS 175: The original Nakíl gun. It's a high pressure solid-propellant gun with a liquid propellant boosting stage.
- AGS 250.A: The export version of the AGS 225 on the Nakíl 1A2. Exactly the same. It's a liquid propellant ETC gun.
- AGS 250.B: Same as the AGS 250.A, but doesn't require an external power supply. It's an experimental gun included on the Nakíl 1A1+ upgrade package.

However, in short, the upgrade is completely possible.

Perfect, and we must commend you again on your prompt communication. We are ecstatic to hear that the upgrades can be undergone and look forward to improving our MCA-7Cs in current service to a standard which will render them fit for duty for several years, if not decades, to come without modification. As for the electronics, what we are looking for is, basically, the entire electronics system found on the Nakil, including the detection equipment. Although the MCA-7C does provide an advanced fire control suite, we would prefer to have more than one non-optical detection method than the infrared system offered on the MCA-7C. We believe the LADAR and millimetric radar systems offered with the Nakil's electronics set should prove to be invaluable in enhancing our tank's properties (we have to compensate for the relatively low numbers of tanks by insuring that they are more than capable of defeating any opponent reliably). And instead of patchworking the current fire control and detection systems with the new ones, we will instead opt to switch out the entire systems to hopefully improve efficiency and operability, likely using the MCA-7C's systems somewhere else in our fleet or keeping them as spares.

As for the gunnery, we will opt for the AGS 250.A as the MCA-7C does have an Under Armor Auxiliary Power Unit which should be capable of providing the power the system requires when the main engine isn't running. The only reason we are choosing the liquid propellant route is because, since we are just now expanding our Defense Forces, we have no current logistic or support infrastructure developed, and the change from our current fledgling tank support service to one that instead operates primarily with liquid propellant should be relatively flawless.

As for pricing, we can only provide an up-front payment of about fifty million USD, and after that only twenty five million per year although my office is currently trying to get a special budget release to provide an additional amount of funds up front, and on an annual basis. Depending on the price of the upgrade, they may or may not oblige my request.

Again, thank you.

Re: Possible MCA-7C Upgrade

In regards to price the upgrades should only cost an average of $600,000 per tank. Production rate of the AGS 225/250.A is so high that they are produced at a relatively low cost, and Cornerstone has been produced on four separate versions of the Nakíl tank and thus has seen even more production. Therefore, the total upgrade of all 100 MCA-7Cs in service should come to a total of roughly $60 million USD. An upfront payment of $50 million is fine, or if you prefer after the job is completed, and a separate second payment of $10 million the next year is also more than perfect. Kriegzimmer is happy to work around the financial priorities of the client.

In terms of the swapped electronics the upgrade will exchange the fire control system with the Cornerstone FCS [to enhance the performance of our electronics I'd assume it would be best to use our FCS computers]. The millimeter wave radar will added as a mast to the tank roof [similar to the radar used by the Russian Arena APS system, only a bit smaller]. The FLIR and LADAR systems used in the Nakíl 1A1 will come in the same compact package. The tank commander will be given an independent thermal viewer [like on the Nakíl 1A1+], as well. The 115mm gun will be exchanged for the AGS 250.A and a small compact capacitor bank will be added as an add-on to the UAAPU [although not under armor] to provide the fast power necessary to use the ETC gun - it will feed off the existing UAAPU on the MCA-7C Timberwolf.

We hope that this is satisfactory,

Again, perfect! We will pay the $50 million up front followed with a second, final payment of $10 million the next annum. We look forward to the finalization of the upgrade program and the expected performance enhancements they will bring to the MCA-7Cs in our service.

Thank you for your assistance, we will look towards Kriegzimmer in the future for any additional assistance or equipment purchase.

As directed by the Californian Department of Military Operations, we would like to upgrade our existing 500,000 Nakíl 1A1 MBTs to the Nakíl 1A3 model. Also, we would like to purchase an additional 500,000 Nakíl 1A3 MBT's.

Because of extraneous circumstances at this moment, money is not an object, as certain events have prompted us to take heed of the ongoing crisis we are having with Cuba. As we are looking to resume combat operations with Cuba, and some other unmentionable nations (for security purposes we will not name them here as they may take notice of our plans) we would like to conduct this transaction with a degree of security. Just name your price and we will be more than happy to acquiesce to the pricing arrangement.

Greetings to the honorable Kriegzimmer Export Company,
The Xiscapian Grand Army of the Kitsune Empire of Xiscapia wishes to purchase one hundred Síeren Tank Destroyer units for the total price of four hundred million (4,000,000), one hundred RIT.76 Regisnár Tactical Surface to Surface Rocket Launcher units for the total price of three hundred seventy million (370,000,000) and five hundred Broadsword R.95 for the total price of one billion, eight hundred fifty million (1,850,000,000). This should, if our calculations are correct, come out to combined price of two billion, two hundred twenty-four million (2,224,000,000). We wish to know what method of payment suits you best for a prompt, efficient transaction.
A thousand thanks,
-General Dom
