I'm going to bed now. Revise the SMG. There is no more appropriate time to do it than now.

Glory to Arstotzka.

Also, Rocket-powered motorcycle drag racing? How cool is that?
Rocket bikes won't work, but rocket car drag racing could be a thing. We have all the tech for it.

Glory to Arstotzka.

Look here's the honorary Arstotzkan Fritz Von Opel on his rocket bike.

Guys, I'll point out that DESPITE Andres, one of the things on my to do list was updating our SMG(either through a design or revision), so no need to pile on here. One thing I'll ask though; is belt-fed smgs actually a thing? I'll only support it if you give evidence that it was, otherwise I agree with the hollowpoints idea.

No. I suppose there are similarities, but I'm fairly certain angry birds doesn't let me charge into a battalion of knights with a car made of circular saws.

No, not really. We could design a more efficient magazine if carrying more rounds was the goal. (The Thomson SMG fired larger bullets, and could fit 50 in its smaller drum magazine, while we only fit 30). The Thomson also had a larger, 100 round drum magazine, the PPsh1 had a 71 round drum magazine.

Edit: if we revise the SMG, why not add a forward grip like on the Thomson? It should increase maniability, which is what we're after for CQC. Maybe add some aluminium to make it lighter?

 I dont think we should waste time revising the SMG. Designing a new SMG will be more effective.

 Plus, then we can get some new techs at the same time.

We need to design a scope now though.

And what else would we do in the revision. I suppose we could revive our Tracer, Hollow Point, HEF suggestion.

Or we can revise our autocannon to be able to use mixed belts without recalibration I suppose.

Edit: Oooh, idea! We can revise our radios to use FM! That'll make it MUCH harder to crack our codes if they can't even decipher our transmissions!

They already can't crack our code.

And our autocannon would need a new action to use mixed belt, I doubt it'd be a revision.

What about the cheap plane crowd?

Yup, besides we don't need mixed belts.

Just Incendairy for planes and AP for ground units.

+1 to a new SMG
Lest try to get a more intermediate size round.

For next turn, I propose a voice-activated mine that blow up each time someone says "SMG". :p

No.

Stealing means 50% succes and they have a spy revision credit, which they will use for counterespionage if they notice we're not developping optics.Besides, even if it is succesfull it would only be usefull after next turn.

We'd certainly lose the mountains.
