To the Defense and Arms Manufacturers and Contracters of the World

It has come to the attention of the government of the Federation of North Atlantic Territories (FNAT) that the Federal Defense Force is in a state of disrepair regarding equipment. Much of the equipment of the FDF is outdated, and needs replacing. The current state of the FDF would be acceptable in the 80's, but not in the 21st century. The following is required for our armed forces:

Army:

Standard Issue Infantry Assault Rifle

Medium/Main Battle Tank
or
Heavy/Main Battle Tank

Close Air Support plane

Infantry Carrier Gunship

Squad Automatic weapon

Armoured Personnel Carrier

Mobile Artillery Piece

Rocket Artillery

Transport Plane


Navy:

Destroyer (gun or missile)

Main Capital Ship (Missile or gun)

Air Craft Carrier

Minelayer

Minesweeper

Ballistic Missile Submarine

Fast Attack Submarine

Naval Plane (fighter and light bomber both needed)

Frigate


Air Force:

Main Fighter (preferably vertical takeoff)

Tactical Bomber

Strategic Bomber

Nightfighter/bomber

Transport

Alternately, we will pay consultants to assist us in the designing of domestic military equipment.

The marketing division of Stalwart Inc. wishes to recommend the K29 Automatic Rifle (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=575475) for consideration as the standard issue assault rifle you are looking for. We are confident that the K29 will perform to our high standards in any tests you care to perform.

The K29 represents the pinnacle of individual small-arms technology, and will provide any force with a crucial multiplier to maximise their fighting efficiency. The optional combat sight expands this capability further, although this is usually limited to the most lucrative of customers because of the high manufacturing costs.

We would like to remind you that Stalwart Inc. operates on a 'no questions asked' policy and will not enquire into the origin, aims, history or legitimacy of any customer. As long as the payment is provided your order will be shipped.


Stalwart Inc. Sales and Marketing.

After reviewing both offers for a standard-issue assault rifle, we have decided to place an order for a total of 15 million K29 assault rifles in the following configurations:

3 million grassland
3 million arctic
3 million night
3 million night-pattern assault carbines
3 million dark woodland

http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/4807/stal2qq7.png

We are very pleased with your decision to adopt the K29 Automatic Rifle, and we are sure that you will not be disappointed. We would like to remind you that the operator's manual should be read thoroughly before using the firearm.

Please make any purchases of K29 or related products here. (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=575475)

The GWOMED has produced several pieces of equipment, and currently, we believe the following would suit you:

The MI-8A2 Modular Assault Weapon (http://wikistates.outwardhosting.com/wiki/MI-8A2_Assault_Rifle), an overly modular rifle that can be configured into almost any role, as well as accept almost every caliber up to 12.7mm, thanks to an extremely easy conversion method that makes the process shorter than a minute. This weapon can be used for multiple roles, as stated in the description.

The Divine Tiger Main-Heavy Battle Tank (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13764267&postcount=1), a semi-modular tank that follows the idea of the famous Maus project of Germany. ((OOC: Wow, that post is old, has a couple of inaccuracies, but I'm too lazy to root all of them out.))

Should you have any more questions for us, please feel free to ask them. And of course, the Emorden-Geist Manufacturing Company helps our government produce these pieces of equipment.

The Emorden-Geist Corporation would like to offer its services to your nation by offering the M.A.M.P., short for Mobile Armored Missile Platform. This vehicle is described nearly perfectly in its name; it is a platform with posts for missiles of almost any kind, as well as various sorts of rockets. There are four machine gun mounts on each corner to provide protection from ground attacks.

OOC: How is your tank 30,000 kg heavier than the M1A2, but is shorter by about 3 meters, and have more, larger weapons, and a bigger engine?

((OOC: As I said, there's inaccuracies that I need to fix. Also, the main cannons are essentially the same size as the ones on the Abrams, there's just two of them.

And, wrong, the Abrams is 8 feet tall.))

Two main guns? You've been playing to much C&C. Two main guns offer no advantage over one. The only thing it does is force you to have a complicated autoloader system, and take up space. And wtf is up with mounting them angled at each other? You say its to prevent targets from hiding between the guns but if you're firing at something small enough to fit between the gap, then you fail at using tanks. So if you fire both barrels at a target at any real range, you're only going to hit once.

We have all of your needs right here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=508486)!

((OOC: The Divine Tiger normally has two actual people loading it instead of autoloaders...

I've never played C&C in my life. Honestly. And I said the COAXIAL MACHINE GUN is between the barrels. The barrels can angle themselves slightly to enhance accuracy, because the "Fire both barrels at real range" came to mind.

And you seem to be failing to notice something; in RL, the Germans attempted the same thing but failed mainly because there weren't engines strong enough back then. Now, apologize to FFS for threadjacking, kkthx.))
