[X] EVERYTHING???? EVERYTHINNNGGGG!!!!!!
Just found this quest. Given I love reading the HISTORY of firearm designs before they got used this look like it will be fun.
I am going to be useless for voting though - seriously I'm only on the second proper post and I'm lost on why some stuff if important over other stuff.
Have a discord link--we discuss a lot of this stuff there so feel free to ask questions.Vote Called, three gun won and I'll be working on an update slowly.
Also,thar be a discord now because I'm desperate to promote my other shit, and it's just easier to ask me questions there.
Just pile in - don't worry. I have personally seen a roomful of supposed experts arguing whether a particular tactic used IRL was brilliant or stupid, so there is not exactly a One True Answer for you to get wrong (or Right).Just found this quest.

... so what I'm saying is we should just make more artillery. : P
"Is it as killy as it can be?" is very rarely the prime consideration of a military rifle.I do remember posting in a debate about a new service rifle and it was pages of stuff on how barrel length affects terminal ballistics and the like.
Then I post (more or less): ... How important is this change when it requires to reissue a zillion service rifles and most people are killed by artillery/mortars/machine guns etc?
cause seriously they were talking about some small change in.. muzzle velocity or something.

The problem was more getting the artillery (and the logistics for same) mobile enough to exploit breaks in the line. Basically the same calculus was the reasoning behind the French being out of position in the Battle of France two decades later.Sadly the big guns are unable to produce breakthroughs in trench warfare. This broke the current view that guns were the answer to dug-in/fortified oppo.
They still are, but artillery commanders have fallen in love with behind the lines position (with good reason).
Battlefield artillery, capable of direct, self-guided fire on hardpoints has suddenly become very rare.

That too, and I hasten to add that everybody - infantry, artillery, you name it - had the same mobility, logistics, and C3 problems during this period.
The C3 problem for instance was the rationale behind the German 'stosstruppen', formations trained and encouraged to keep moving forward even and especially without orders.
It worked, sorta, like early tanks worked sorta, and IG and mortars worked sorta.
All true. Also (lies to children) AKA necessary simplification.I thought the biggest issue was that logistics past the railhead reverted to something Napoleon would recognize. Attackers could create holes via tanks, strom troopers or sheer mass but could not exploit those holes on an operational level, or strategic. Defenders could more easily move forced to plug the hole.
and my truck exploded being the high points in terms of productivity losses.
Going as a wide as possible to capture as much capability as possible may be a mistake, but I think it's worth the risks and also GRENADE LAUNCHERS
I already called the vote last night. You're just running up the vote for the winning option at this point.ok caught up .. I want to make my own version of the everything vote with more details but I don't have time at the moment for research!

This is to set the actual requirements for proposals for the categories.This for testing or another 'parameters to request things within' vote? Because I thought the last turn we defined a lot of this stuff.
Edit: No it didn't really, but I can't write anything up yet.
