...the bonus to tech improvement would probably also include things like iterations on the same basic concept? Our fair QM will know better than I, of course, but blanket bonuses of equivalent value have a lot more applications, I'd think.

Hmmm. From a mechanical standpoint the first and last action seem identical? What's the advantage to reducing a malus over an equivalent bonus to tech development?

The reduced NTM is a permanent reduction for all following projects, aiding you in the long term by potentially keeping you from rolling with a malus for some additional time.

The +2 gives you a bonus to one specific project, raising the lowest level it can sink to.

So if I'm reading it right, the NTM reduction is the permanent bonus in the field and the "bonus" is a one-off.

[X] Reduce the New Technology Malus for Airplanes by 2

I'm going to go with this, because I enjoy the idea that Guangchou has a mechanical trait that actively encourages wacky aerospace engineering.

Also I have something funny in mind for the transport aircraft and this will make it easier. :V

Hang on. Where's that meme about soviet military hype causing the US to dump more money than god into an R&D program and skipping get two generations.

I mean, that literally our plan for seeding spies into their R&D. :V

Feed our folks a little info based on our R&D so they get promoted, then have them feed us the American R&D once the USA goes insane over the Iron Tier reveal.

No I mean more like, when foreign newspapers and stuff has to mention us, what picture do they use? Is the rest of the world truly aware that Jungmin's wife is a full head taller than him and built like a linebacker? Will we ever get to make a state visit to 'ease tensions' and just break people's heads with the contrast to their norms?

I've speculated before that to really break some brains, we'd want to be in a polyamorous triad. :V

edit: HC, does 1990s era electronics unlock the potential for two more supercomputer based action slots? Or does it eliminate the cap?

It'll get you three more. If you ask why, well, I don't want to have to deal with an Action Economy Event Horizon where you'd gain an Action every turn.

That would absolutely tank the speed of updates.

I would have frankly told you to hold your horse if you went there, three is more than sufficient.

I take it the modernization sub-vote is goin to be picking what designs to use for the various missiles and the engine?
