The Nation of Elloris is looking to purchase production right to different weapons and vehicles. However, we desperately need to purchase production rights to airplanes and ships for the protection of our coasts. Our nation has been saving money since our formation and we have plenty of money to spend.
Please send our nation offers. We are looking for Light and Heavy Tanks, Transport Vehicles, Light patrol vehicles. Automatic Rifles for infantry. Fighter Jets for our Aiforce, and Battleships and Aircraft Carriers for our Navy.

We Await Your Offers Signed,
Seth Id'Kwasik, Minister of Trade

The Britannic Commonwealth offers production rights to the RAC Curiatii, the statistics for which can be found in the SPECTRE Storefront.

Pale Rider Arms would like to present offers for several of your contracts. Attached is PRA's complete small arms catalogue (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=9822853#post9822853), as well as information on the Nezumi Oni IFV (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=506698&). We highly recommend the M26 Battle Rifle and M32 Light Machine Gun, as well as the Fumetsu no Heishi battle suit.

Well, of the designs you are looking for. (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=476754)

The best offers I can give you would be the following (depending on prefferance:
What is, your Standard caliber?
(If undecided, good, you still canpick and choose)

Infantry weapons

The PROHT 6.5 x 55 mm cartridge is perhaps one of the best MT cartridges on NS (there are many others, with their own advantages and disadvantages).

It starts off from the muzzle with more pwer than the 7.62 x 51 NATO, and holds it longer than any other bullet. It tumbles upon impact out to 600 meters, causing mortal wounds from even leg shots, and combine penetration with massive wound tract and expansion properties (depending on what bulet type is used).

Pros: Powerful at both long and short range, relatively mild recoil, impressive terminal and exterior ballistic properties.
Cons: Longer action than the 7.62 NATO, so it isn't conductive to fully automatic fire unless in a braced position (such as prone or benchrest), high chamber pressures.

Now, onto the weapons...
The CM-26, is a belt or clip fed gun, and though it looks heavy compared to most guns, it isn't any heavier than the Stg-44 used in WW-2, aside from the weight of ammunition (a 200 round belt of 6.5 mm wieghs more than a 30 round box clip of mauser ammo any day).

Pros: High volume of fire, negates the importane of the machine gun, many accessories available, can fire sustained at fully automatic with minimal fatigue upon the troops.
Cons: A bit heavy, and the 200 round belt might cause balance issues.

The CM-16 was the predecessor of the CM-26, and is clip feed only, and lacks some of the quality accessories such as a dual scope with flip up iron sights. But is considerably lighter, since the barrel can be made lighter and it doesn't require as much to support the gun when aiming. It comes in a variety of calibers.

Pros: Cost (since it is surplus) wieght, easy to swap calibers with kits (provided with order i you ask for a specific caliber).
Cons: Not well suited for high volume fire, lighter gun tends to recoil harsher (a drop in counterballance [like that of AK-108] is available).

Tanks:

The HT-101 was our very first indiginous AFV, we couldn't figure out what to call it for awhile, since IFV wasn't too accurate (for a time we used it as an MBT against Parthian MBTs), but as later models replaced it in many of its tasks, it became more and more of an IFV. It was well suited for patrol activities in the bogs of Northern Chitzeland, and the swampy hills of New Roanoke Island, as it was designed to handle jungle warfare very well, it also has decent winter handling properties, since the same extra wide treads used to help 'float' over soft mud helped them drive over loose snow.

The HT-101 is both parachute capable and amphibious, as we considered both properties paramount in modern three dimensional warfare.

The HT-101E8 was one sub variant which is clearly a light tank, armed with a 105 mm gun, it performed quite well as our airborne tank, being capable of parachute and amphibious operations, since it was still designed from an almost unmodified HT-101 hull.

Alas, the HT-101E8 still didn't pack the punch we wanted when they went up against massed rushes of Parthian MBTs armed with 120 mm guns and wieghing in at 60 tons, compared to the HT-101E8's 105 mm and 15 tons...

We quickly decided to draw up requirements of a tank capable of effectively destroying any MBT we'd likely encounter in the near future.

So we developed the HT-106 HBT, armed with a gun up to 155 mm (normally 125 mm Hurtian), and normally employing an autoloader that remains permemently aligned with both the magazine and the breech using a osciosolating turret (turret bustle carries magazine and autoloader, and gun is fixed to turret bustle and mantlet assembly). The armor was also increased, and was capable of shrugging off almost any MBT round attacking their front, while providing considerable protetion to the sides and rear. The tank lost its amphibious and parachute capabilities as a resault, but can still be carried in most transport aircraft.

Still, the possability of a HBT v HBT scenario haunted many a hurtian tanker, and the ministry was displeased with the por performance of the Hurtian 8" Self propelled gun, so, after many sessions, the design bureo decided to take the HT-106 hull rather than the 101's hull as the basis of their new replacement, and what they came up with was the HTA-108 Assualt gun, lugging a 203 mm gun, and with improved performance, it could deestate normal units from afar as a piece of highly mobile heavy artillery, or, with the addition of an armored turret, join the fray as one of the most fearsome tanks of all.

The Federation of New Albor is looking to expand its production capacity to all-time levels and is willing to barter resources with many of the fine armaments production nations for a particular resource recently discovered in our recently protected rainforests. Thankfully, wisdom on all sides was seen and we are in the process of extracting uranium to further our nuclear aims.

In any event, I am sure we can come to an arrangement on excess uranium and other materiel for armaments and other trade agreements. Also, we accept outsoucring for call centers and network help desks. All that matters is profitability, security and stability for us, and of course, the same would go for our intrepid friends and colleagues.

Kind Regards,
General Hamilton Cherbourg
Defense Minister, Federation of New Albor

Most excellent.

Having glanced at the catalog, I can see some items that we might need. I will certainly confer with you in the coming day or so regarding our order. As defense is our priority, we look forward to doing business as well.
