Aren't these a national effort right now even if we make it not complex.

And then next turn we decomplexify the RADAR and the cannalans will never be able to take to the skies again.

Also, just a note, the VV does have a bomb load equivalent to the Haast. In a way, we might have rendered their flak useless as well!

Quote from: Revision
aT-J30-Q

A variant of the freshly-designed aT-J30 engines.  Makes greater use of fuel-efficient designs, allowing it to capitalize on the kerosene/hydrazine fuel blend, as well as optimizing exhaust ports for afterburner use.  This redesign allows the aT-J30-Q to burn at the same thrust as the aT-J30 at a greater efficiency, dropping the overall cost of the VV Frightening by 2 Oil, since it has two engines 1 Oil.

This variant is named after the remarkably brilliant Professor Gottfried Q. Wolfram IV of Leipzig University, who spearheaded the new design.

I would assume we would primarily have the bomb load be missiles to take out their bombers from a distance.

I actually don't think the radar decomplexify is worth it, maybe if we make a new pass on radar tech in general and put it into the jet as an afterthought.

Plus, the Haast is Cheap.  Even with this revision, the VVF is still at least Expensive.

I want radar we can put on a long range rocket with automatic switching for targeting.

Do the Canners still have furnacetanks? And if so, are our Haasts shooting missiles at them?

Yes, we've shot at least one missile at a tank and hit it. The jungle canopy obstructed our line of fire, though. But now we're fighting in the desert, the fact that their tanks are literally glowing targets for our missiles will start to hurt them a lot more.

There's no way they don't at least try to address their tanks, they're so hot I think they wouldn't be able to run in the desert.

And here I though we would roll two ones, then spend our revision "revising" the buildings in downtown Forenia into rude phrases. Or maybe a national effort deathball made from an entire mountain peak...

I'm almost wondering if maybe it's good enough as-is, and if we should try revising a better RPG or sniper or tank turret...how much can a good fighter effect the battlefield?  Is having it one tier cheaper worth an RPG equivalent to Cannala's, or a stabilized turret?
