Ad Astra ex Lutum

Wait, we have? The equipment stat only said "mortar-carrying and artillery-carrying variants are already being considered", but I don't think we actually do anything more about it. The description for SPG/SPAA Systems also seem to implied that it has been skiped in favour of proposed modular system (that we don't have time to build) instead.



It's one of those 'natural' variants that didnt need a big procurement program, since mortars arent all that complex.
 
I mentioned it in the Discord a bit ago so I'll bring it up here, but another reason to consider starting the infantry weapons now despite them likely being very quick to spin up is that they're also the ammo production lines, and that's going to be spent like water once the landing happens.

Another month of large scale ammo production for our stockpile before we need to start blowing through it will buy us a longer period for some very high intensity fighting to try and throw them back/contain them at their LZ before we have to worry about potential ammunition bottlenecks from whatever surviving dispersed production we have left.
 
In retrospect we really should have got to work on those frigates earlier. We can only hope our subs make a good showing.
 
Honestly, the frigates wouldve been uberfucked against this large of a fleet in pretty much any scenario. Having a small fleet of em getting smacked out of the sky would've done us no good.

Still voting this because mass use of WP hand grenades sounds so Elf, but Hyperconventional should be fine too and get us the laser armor rollout faster.

Really think dismissing VTOLs this early is a bad idea.

I wouldn't mind Hyperconventional Warfare winning, but I'd rather have the chance to contest the skies.

VTOLs so we can at least make a fight of it on the way down and still have some way to protect our supply lines next month. Tanks because getting hit by a 120 mm shell will cause lots of problems for anything that obeys the laws of physics, no matter how advanced the armor is.

I figure we should at least try for Elf Dien Bien Phu before we resign ourselves to Elf Stalingrad.
